• After updating the BIOS, speakers produce no sound and iTunes and WMP did not recognize media files.

  Hi people. I got an update of the BIOS that has been installed automatically today. Since the update I lost all sound to my speakers and for the most part, my headset plug into the socket. I ran troubleshooting (States that the speakers are working properly), I rolled back and updated the drivers audio, quadruple checked all the settings, did a hard reset... nothing seems to work for her. Have no idea while iTunes or WMP won't play all my music now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! (I have a HP Pavilion dv7 entertainment notebook running Windows 7)

  Hey vélorution,

  I see that you are having a problem with not getting no sound after upgrading the Bios.

• Equium L350D - 11 d - I should update the BIOS?

  A month ago I bought a "reworked factory" L350D - 11 d and I am pleased with it. I couldn't have guessed that it was not new, and it works perfectly, I would say.

  I just got a Toshiba Tempro application to download and install an update of the BIOS - it:
  [THIS HTTP://UK.COMPUTERS.TOSHIBA-EUROPE.COM/INNOVATION/DOWNLOAD_DRIVER_DETAILS.JSP?ID=63134&OSID=-1&OSBUILD=6000&OSBITSIZE=32&DRIVERLANGUAGE=42&SOUR = TEMPRO & LNG = 1]
  but I am concerned about a number of things. I should add that I used laptop computers for years but I am not particularly well informed on the technical level.

  1. the faq on updates BIOS says that the laptop must be in mode 'start-up', not 'repeat mode '. I don't know what are these modes, and a few technically competent guys which I asked don't know either. Can someone enlighten me please?

  2 that the technically competent guy said was update the BIOS was fraught with peril, and I could end up with an unusable machine. Is this really so? If this is the case, then I don't understand why Toshiba blithely ask customers to do. But as the update doesn't seem to be a solution, but simply provides unspecified 'increased functionality', and I've had my laptop a month and it works perfectly, is there any point to take the risk?

  3. the update was published October 9, 2008, and that I only bought my laptop at the end of January is it reasonable to assume that the resumption of the factory included a BIOS loading which included the updated? If there is, then I don't have a dilemma to worry! Is there a way to know this?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello!

  First a question: you have a problem with your laptop?

  If you don t have a problem with your laptop you should not update the BIOS or change anything on the system configuration and software.
  Never touch a running system! ;)

  Do not update BIOS if TEMPRO said. For example I only update my BIOS if I have a problem with it, but normally you should not do this.

  Good bye

• Can I update the bios with software for windows vista?

  I have a HP Pavilion a1747c desktop computer and I need to update BIOS for virtualization technology. However the update the BIOS only supports Windows Vista, and I have Windows 7. Can I still updated it somehow?

  Yes, you may be able to extract the actual BIOS file of the installation package compressed and use a flash routine appropriate for flashing BIOS under another operating system, but you do so at your own risk. Any damage to your computer by using this process is at your own risk and you take responsibility for it.

• New W510, update the BIOS - black screen on startup - guaranteed?

  Hi all!

  I got a new W510 and decided to update the BIOS via the executable Windows 7 provided by Lenovo for their support-web. The program is run properly (all green checkmarks), the machine has been restarted and then stopped and started again - but she never stopped showing the "ThinkPad" screen POST. The machine started throwing his fans after some time and the machine felt hot enough it is up to the right. I waited a bit (say 4-5 minutes) if there was some additional BIOS update which took place, but nothing happened after a while, I decided to stop it. Now when I boot, the screen is all black.

  This will cover in the included warranty? It must be, right?

  Sorry for my late reply. As I think it is clear from my earlier post, there was still no way to load default BIOS that the screen went black as soon as I started the machine.

  Two days later from my first message I sent it in for repair. Almost 4 weeks after and TWO motheboards (first one was apparently DOA) later, the machine works now. As it seems, Lenovo had some problems for spare parts quickly enough because it took almost 2-3 weeks just to get the first map of mother (DOA).

  Anyway, even if it took some time, I can now enjoy my new machine

• Update the BIOS W540 2.18 cannot start any operating system

  I try to update the BIOS of the thinkpad w540 BIOS version 2.18.
  Everything seems to work fine and it tells me the update is flashed.

  But now, when my w540 starts, it does everything as usual, but when you start to load the operatig system it turn off and restart and that is again and again.

  I can get into the BIOS setup and the version is update a (2.18)
  I can change in the BIOS options and can I choose where my w540 boots. I try to boot from the HD, a CD, a flash, but no use (using Windows 7 on HD and flash Linux and ESXi from CD).

  My problem, I can not start any operating system present.

  Can anyone help please, thank you.

  In the BIOS under startup under Startup UEFI/Legacy, set options "both", "first heritage."

• How can I update the BIOS without using a CD?

  Hello!

  I recently decided to update my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB. After installation, I started my computer to find that it would not recognize the new memory. After doing some troubleshooting, I decided to try to update the BIOS, like the 2010 version. I have downloaded the update to the BIOS boot CD implementation of lenovo, burned a disk and restarts, I found that the boot order has no CD contained thereon. Here's the catch: I do not have the supervisor password. It is a mobile phone in hand, and I tried to find the password nothing is done. It's the current boot order: USB key, hard drive.

  My question is, can I create a BIOS update disk using a USB key, or update the BIOS of another way?

  I understand that it is impossible to recover the supervisor password without having served (that I prefer to not do, even if I have to return my Crucial RAM)

  My system features:

  ThinkPad L512

  BIOS version: 1.04

  BIOS date: 2010-3-26

  Controller of Embeded Version: 1.01

  Windows 7 32 bit

  Thanks for your help.

  Welcome to the forum!

  Two things here:

  (a) If you run the system update, it should offer the latest BIOS for your machine as well. I never did on a protected device, so it may or may not work, but perhaps worth it.

  (b) I doubt the ability of the system to recognize the new RAM has something to do with the BIOS. Much older than your ThinkPads will take place 4-8 GB of RAM with an old BIOS, older than your machine initially.

  Good luck.

• Install Windows 7 Professional - update the BIOS?

  I am running Windows Vista SP2 Home Premium 32 - bit on ThinkPad R400.

  I want to switch to Win7 Pro.

  Should I update the BIOS before installing Win7?

  Also, I have to do something else before installing?

  Thank you very much.

  You don't need to update the BIOS first, but we highly recommend it.

  Are you planning on the 'upgrade' path or the ongoing "clean install" of execution?

• x 61 was updated the BIOS with 7nuj21us.exe Failed BIOS update utility

  Only, I have restored my x 61 to the original settings due to a problem with the blue screens and decided to update the BIOS right afterwards.  I followed the directions precisely and installed all 21 of each component for this model.

  I then turn off the computer and turned it back this morning to continue to load the software.  The system started with the fan running at high speed and stopped at the ThinkPad screen.  However, nothing happened after pressing the ThinkVantage button and F1 or another touches besides.  I left for a few hours, but finally determined that I could not turn off or do anything with the machine.  He just hung there.  I did finally remove the battery and replace it and now there is not able to record when the machine is connected and it does not start.

  Is there something I can do to recover the system?  I suspect that the answer is a replacement of the Commission.  The update of the BIOS was not at the same time with something on my computer.  I have just 2 years in the warranty period at the United States, so if I need to replace the card, what are the best options?

  Thanks for your help and comments... it is a very frustrating twist, because this is my work machine.

  Dmtrich,

  Certainly, we can download and system flash here, just to be safe.

  I'm sorry that you have had this problem, I sent you a PM and email and we can follow up there to work through your specific.  Please let us know your concerns!

  Best regards

• Impossible to update the BIOS on my Satellite A660

  Hello, guys!
  When I try to update the BIOS on my laptop in version 2.3 (latest version 1.6) I get the message "install UEFI winflash 0.02:

  + The program will be closed! +
  + There is an error occurred, please check below Articles. +
  + The BIOS above 230 version. +
  + More than 20% of battery capacity. +
  + Is attached AC. +

  The conditions of the first and the last are rooms but the second is not because the battery is dead (always 0% charged). Is there another way to update the BIOS?
  Thank you!

  Post edited by: al_3

  No, there is no other update BIOS because victory BIOS update version is available on the Toshiba driver website.

  I guess you need good work and battery charge in order to update the BIOS.

  But why you want to update the BIOS? Is something wrong with the laptop?
  The update of the BIOS is a very serious update and must be done very carefully
  Incorrect procedure may damage the motherboard!

• Yet WT8 - after that updating the BIOS 1.6 screen is too bright

  After the update the BIOS to version 1.6, as even the lowest setting of the screen is bright when using the device in a dark environment (e.g. reading in bed). Before the update, I simply set the brightness slider Windows at the lowest level and everything was fine but now it is so brilliant that he hurt the eyes.

  Anyone else with this problem? Is there a solution?

  * Brightness * level is a function of * EC version * (on-board controller).

  There are variants _Two in units shipped: __

  THIS 1.10 + and +-bios 1.20
  THIS 1.20 + and +-bios 1.20

  _After bios upgrade: _

  THIS 1.20 + and +-bios 1.60

  EC 1.10 was 1.20 lower brightness level, 1.10 is so much better in the dark situation, * ask * Toshiba * Europe * to solve this problem.

• Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
  The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

  A lot, I searched but found nothing.
  The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

  THX in advance,
  John

  Hello

  First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
  Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

  I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
  So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

  By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)

  My settings:

  Hi ML

  Stupid question maybe now but why do you want to update the BIOS on this, I think, fairly new laptop model?
  Have you noticed a few issues or hardware issues?

• Updating the BIOS is dead the satellite Pro P300-1AY

  Hi all

  found this forum and really hoping that he can help me!
  I bought a satellite Pro P300-1AY two years ago, it cost me £900 nr so I thought it would be worthy of a purchase.

  A year ago the USBs stopped working, I do it every working solution I could think of anything will do, finally gave up and learned to live without USBs!

  However, a few weeks ago, the laptop at the start stop, I didn't get was the black screen. Probably a video problem I did all the memory check hard drive everything else, however, it was only an intermittent problem, I found if I he tilted on the side she would begin, another thing to live with!

  But two days ago, I heard that if I've updated the BIOS, it could solve all my problems. so I went to the Toshiba site, found the BIOS updated and downloaded, but to halfway through the installation, the laptop froze and I couldn't t he put it off and had to take the battery out to turn it off!

  And ve you may have guessed, he's now won t start. Even its worst, LED lights, and if I put a disc in the cd I can hear it whirring, but that s it.

  Is - this irreparable? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?
  Ty for your time in reading :)

  Hello

  > Is it irretrievably? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?

  Well, usually the BIOS could once again be reflashed, but you would need a traditional version of the BIOS update.
  This version is available for Toshiba FSA.

  So you will need to get in touch with a local ASP technician that could reflash the Rom BIOS module.
  Eventually, after this update the specifications would be stable.

  Good luck
