the Z560 BIOS UPDATE?

I wanted to ask how necessary is updating the BIOS. The latest available bios is v2.15. I checked mine is v2.07. I would like to point out that my laptop is good and right in the face of some heating problems, including playing games.

The configuration of my laptop is

Z560 model name: 20060. General specifications are

i5 - 450 M - 2, 53 GHz

NVIDIA - 310M - 1 GB

RAM - 4 GB (but only 3 GB used because the OS is 32-bit)

OS: WIN 7 32-BIT HP

Download page for history of changes on BIOS

http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS008928

29CN38WW

Fan fixed, always running after waking from sleep

29CN37WW

Active sensor button function on NIWE1/NIWE2

Sensor fixed unable LED car turn at 50% lighting before activation

29CN31WW (V2.08)

1 update the VBIOS GE1 NV to solve the problem of black screen.

2 disabled LAN DSM to peripheral occasional difficulty lost LAN function.

29CN25WW (V2.02)

1. According to the old version, updated the BIOS in Windows mode when the system resumes from the State S3 causes system hang and display to turn black. The new version will solve this problem.

Not apply to heating problems.

Safer to leave it as what?

    I installed the latest update of the bios on my Hewlett Packard Windows 7 and now windows media player comes up with an error message saying that it cannot read the file for each file that he used to play.  Is it possible to uninstall and reinstall windows media player separately from windows?  or y at - it a file update or repair that I can download to make it work again.  I don't get a codec error.

    Hello

    1. What is the full error message?

    2. What is the number of KB of the update of the Bios?

    Please follow the steps below and get back to us with the results.

    Method 1: Open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/is-is/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-settings-Troubleshooter

    Method 2: Uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player.

    Step 1: Uninstall Windows Media Player.

    a. go to start and in the search type 'Turn Windows has or not'.
    b. click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
    c. find multimedia and uncheck the brand in the face of Windows Media Player.
    d. restart the computer

  • Re: Satellite Pro L40 - killed the laptop BIOS update

    Recently I thought it would be better to download the latest drivers and upgrades for my Satellite pro L40 to keep up-to-date and partners the laptop that works smoothly. I couldn't have worse summer. Before I updated the new driver updates I thought it would be a good idea first update the Bios. So I downloaded the update of the Bios on the Toshiba site, unzipped the files and followed the online instructions for updating the BIOS. I double clicked on the BIOS file to run the update, the laptop says it was end the session, I waited and the Toshiba logo screen came. In the instructions, it says that I have to press F2 now and confirm that the date and time are correct. I should then press F9 to load all the default values and then press F10 to save and exit. At this point, the laptop must away to the loading screen, but... I got a black screen. IV turned off the computer and turn it back on, but still, I get a blank screen. The lights are on but know one's home.

    Could a mod/staff/Board Toshiba administrator please explain to me why I'm going to draw the consequences of my lack full on my face because I followed a form of direct teaching of personnel of Toshiba or... Please run me through the process of bring back my cell partners in life, before that I get my Crown snatched jewels. This isn't a laugh. An upgrade directly from the manufacturer is not intended to cause you problems!

    Please get back to me as soon as POSSIBLE. My first son moments of life (videos, photos) are on this laptop. That cannot be replaced. Please tell me that the laptop can be fixed...

    Hello Durks

    I'm really sorry to hear you I have this problem.
    To be honest, it is not easy to discuss about this because a lot of people on this forum with a similar or same problem reacts quite aggressive if they don t hear exactly the thing they want to hear.

    In any case, I just want to write my comment. Don t be worried about photos and other important data. You can remove the laptop HARD drive, put it in a small box of HDD SATA 2.5 and connect the HARD drive to the other PC / laptop as external device. You will have full access to all stored data. So you can do the backup.

    Update the BIOS.
    What to say at this point?
    I have checked the Toshiba download page and saw that the BIOS update is available for Windows XP Home edition and Vista pre-installed notebooks so I hope you ve chosen the right one. Anyway, it is not easy to fix screwed up in the BIOS. You hate me now, but I think you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Call them, explain the situation and ask what you can do about it.

    I hope you will fix this laptop soon.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite L40 - 14 H - do not start after the successful BIOS update

    Hello

    I have Satellite L40 - 14 H which was working fine until I thought to an update of the BIOS will not hurt. Seems I was wrong.

    I downloaded the update to the BIOS, it unzipped in a folder and started the action.

    After a few seconds was asked to wait, and then after few more firm.

    After the reboot, I pressed F2 to enter the BIOS and check that it is version everything was fine, version 2.0 so was I left once the parameters.

    After that, nothing happened.

    I almost tried everything without success. Removed the power and battery power, put their back, but still no start. Just the light of the HARD drive lights up for a few seconds and the cd turns a bit, but after that nothing happens at all and completely the screen is black.

    I don't know anything else to try.

    Please let me know what that can do to restore its functionality without taking it to the service, I can't do it.
    I think that may not be cause of failure of the BIOS update I have seen it is the version and was right.
    Is it possible to reset the BIOS? I need to disassemble the laptop to do this?
    Let me know what to do, I have good experience in such things, but I can't understand this.

    Thanks in advance for any response.

    Kind regards
    Stefan

    Hello

    I agree with Akuma. It really isn't that you can do about it. BIOS problems are complex and cannot be set by the owner of the laptop. Believe me you need professional help with this.
    Contact the closest Toshiba ASP and explain the situation.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome aboard!

    How about trying to update using the USB in the BIOS/UEFI > > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00042629/ ?

    You can also check this > > http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/SOLVED-Can-not-update-Bios-Probook-640-G2/m-p/5683581#M446920

    ========

    Some notes - as mentioned in the article itself - updated only if you really must. Personally, I don't recommend do you it unless you're having problems with your existing BIOS and you are sure that the new BIOS will fix it.

    General recommendation I provided to users/customers is NOT to upgrade the BIOS/UEFI, unless they live any sort of BIOS/UEFI problem specific. Just for updaing and update just for the use of the latest verson is not the solution. Any type of update (no matter what and that relesed it) can solve 2 problems but could introduce more than 10 questions. In addition, upgrading the BIOS (for any provider) are risky more because the BIOS recovery is not that easy compared to updates of typical software IF something goes wrong.

    It goes the same for Windows updates, OS update, drivers, etc - update/update updates IF you have any questions, you know are fixed in the new version or for some serious security problems. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or if you have difficulties

  • Satellite A100 does not start after the wrong Bios Update

    Yesterday, I upgraded my BIOS of 1.90 to 2.20 for VISTA... now, apparently, I downloaded the BIOS bad a100 to my A100 (PAAS...)

    Now the computer turn on (no display) then a few seconds later stops offshore and turns on again (without interruption), I am under warranty (and the computer is in the store) but I was wondering what to do if Toshiba is not honor the warranty?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello

    I'm sorry to say, but it seems that you don't have the choice.
    You can ask him authorized partner in your country for the help that I know, BIOS update errors are not covered by a warranty and you will have to pay a small fee for fixing.

    In the worst cases, the motherboard must be replaced:(mais peut-être avez_vous une évasion chanceuse et seulement la puce ROM doit être flashée à nouveau)

  • The downloaded BIOS update, do not know if it has been installed, update view has not changed.

    HP Support Assistant informed me that I have to download an update of the BIOS. After downloading and restarting the laptop, notification to download the update of the BIOS is still there. Tried redownloading but this time to stop the power of 10secs then turned on, but the BIOS update notice always there. After research on the HP site, found a note saying that I shouldn't update my BIOS unless there is a problem.

    The update is? Should I just ignore the update?

    Thank you!

    Hi @RobMan

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have found a message asking to update your BIOS to the support assistant and that you downloaded it, but the message remains. I'm happy to help you with this.

    First of all, please send the complete product number and check the operating system on your laptop. See the following if you need help to find those.
    How can I find my model number or product number?
    Is the Version of Windows on my computer 32-bit or 64-bit?

    It is not absolutely necessary to update the BIOS if you encounter any problems with something on your system. Once I have your product information, I can find the right drivers page, and from there we can find out which BIOS versions are available and notes see what corrections or changes are a part of it.

    I have this also, include indicative.

    You will need to reinstall the original chipset drivers.

    Go to the Start Menu -> click on all programs ->, click on manage recoveryr (open Recovery Manager).

    From there, under "I need help immediately" you can select "Hardware Driver réinstallation"-> click Next.  When you see the list of available selection drivers "ATi (or AMD) Driver VGA" and click Next.  Once it's done, click on finish, then will restart your computer and you can test your system/USB devices to verify that it is fixed.

    If it does not, meet with your specific model number or PN (product number).

  • the X100e BIOS update failure

    Hi all

    I installed the latest version of BIOS x100e (v1.34) using the ThinkVantage System update utility on my computer laptop x100e and I can't access Windows after restart. Looks like the hard drive is not readable. Windows does not load and I can't start the Lenovo recovery successfully utility either.

    I was on the page to update the BIOS to the x100e but everything is focused on updates via Windows and I don't have access to a DVD - ROM drive with this model, so can not go down from the bootable CD installation.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

  • Satellite Pro A100: Trojan warning message during the windows BIOS update

    Trying to update my Bios through windows, my anti virus (f-secure) has a crush on decompressing the zip file a warning.

    The warning pointed out that the folder contained a Trojan horse and that he had been cleared to protect my computer.
    A warning from microsoft also said that access to these files had been blocked to protect your system.

    Is it possible that this update, downloaded from Toshiba really contain malware or could there be another reason for this event?

    Advice for help would be appreciated

    Post edited by: james7dean I have a satellite pro a100 o/s windows xp pro

    Hi james

    Don't you panic! You BIOS are not affected by Trojans, Malware or viruses.
    For the most part these BIOS files are not known for anti-virus applications and, consequently, anti virus software reports and notifies a virus.

    Before you start the update of the BIOS, you must disable automatic virus protection!

  • Qosmio F10 - where can I find the correct BIOS update?

    My Qosmio F10 has a mother of replacement of Toshiba with a Geforce Go 6600 GA and an Intel 915 chipset.

    If I understand well Toshiba manual support that this should now be designated F10 - R. I tried to update the BIOS to the latest version (2007) F10 but the update procedure he throws as invalid for this machine. A research on F10 - R shows nothing.

    Can anyone help?
    Thank you
    Adriandr

    Hello

    To be honest I have never heard the Qosmio F10 - R
    I think you should ask your authorized service provider again before we do something wrong. They can tell you what BIOS you need for an update.

    Also, why do you want to update the BIOS? This t shouldn't be done just for fun because this update is always somewhat risky and should only be done if you have a problem with your laptop.
