• BIOS HP pavilion m7463 problem

  Hello

  I was given a hp pavilion m7463, who had died, so I gave him a new hard drive which works very well.  I even just got a new monitor as well.  Now this computer came originally with XP... but it wouldn't work on the disk hard that I added, but I got a copy of Vista to run.  Thanks to all that the computer worked well.

  Earlier today, I tried to update the BIOS because installed was a bit outdated and does not support boot from USB drives.  The old BIOS version was 3.15, and I downloaded the new version (3.19) directly at HP.  After the installation of the new BIOS, the computer continues trying to start, but he can not find windows or a handle than some delivers so it restarts, then tries again and the process keeps going.  You try to run repair from cd vista did not help.

  It seems that if I restore the BIOS to 3.15 so I should be able ti solve the problem, and I'm fairly certain that I can install the BIOS if I can get my hands on a copy.  The problem seems to be that HP has a TERRIBLE site when it comes to drivers.  I can find the drivers/BIOS current listed, but no where is I was able to find a list of Alumni BIOS/driver to download.  So 2 questions...

  1. just install the old BIOS will fix my problem more likely?  If this is not the case, what I should try?

  2 - does anyone know where I can find the BIOS HP version 3.15 for the motherboard ASUS P5LP - THE (and I need a version of vista/xp of the BIOS or is it important?

  Thanks for the help.

  It is possible, at a distance, you need to install the SATA ACHI drivers on this model.

  See if there is a setting in the BIOS under storage options to change the setting from ACHI to IDE, if such an option exists to the controller.

  If it is set to DCIS, is why you can not install XP without loading the AHCI drivers at the F6 prompt you get when you start the installer of XP.

  Vista and W7 have these drivers as part of the Setup disk, where XP does not work as it was released before such things ACHI.

  If you have such a context and can change to IDE or legacy, XP will load right up.

• Satellite click on Mini - BIOS and battery keyboard problem

  A mod can explain please why all my messages complain that Toshiba cannot resolve the well-known problem of the Mini click keyboard battery have been removed?

  Caveat emptor, it seems that not only the product does not work as advertised, but all attempts to engage the problem and alert the community seem to be censored, too...

  Please try this (which worked for me)

  Turn the laptop completely off by holding down the power button.

  Place it in the charger.

  test to see whether or not he is totally turned off by quickly tapping once on the power button. You should see two indicators of battery.

  Wait for the top has accused...

  When you see that the load indicator is on the second battery, this unfortunately will not charge it. However...

  Press the quick power button to see the two indicators.

  Remove the plug from the charger to the laptop (not the wall) and reinsert it back quickly

  Then wait...

  After 20 minutes to feel the charger on the wall... If it's hot, it recharges the battery in the keyboard...

  Use Bios 1.7 or 5 before you do (I tried it on 5 bios)

• Hi all, I need a little help to try to solve a problem of updating Bios for a long time.

  I downloaded the new update of the Bios on the HP site. But when I try to install the update, the process goes up to only while it presents me with an error. Any help would be appreciated, I am trying to upgrade the Bios for the new firmware in order to perform a better processor. Thank you...

  Error code: 3033

  "GoTo" label not found

  on line 89 of w:\patches\i...ate\windows\installer.wbt

  My system is...

  Compaq Presario SR1339uk

  Serial number: CZB5050HBW

  System number: PS267AA

  Motherboard: Asus PTGD1 - LA

  BIOS version: 3.13 12/14/04

  Operating system: Windows XP Home Edition

  Not sure what's going on here, but here is a suggestion on how to properly install manually the update of the BIOS.

  Assume that you download SP26760.exe (BIOS 3.28)

  Start the update - go to the last message you get before it fails and stop. (must be where it prompts you to close the applications and will be saved).

  Open a DOS (command prompt).    You must be an administrator - so if you're running Vista or Win7 - make sure that 'run as administrator ' at the opening of the box.

  Once in the BACK, type:

  CD FOLDER

  go the the directory of temporary files.

  Then make a

  DIR /S 328.LE ROM

  to find the directory where the update files are located.    Type CD < directory name > to go in this directory (on my system, it was a folder called pft467D.tmp, but it might be different on your)

  CD pft467D.tmp

  Now manually invoke (the prompt back, no windows or the windows file manager) the update, with the appropriate switches.  By omitting the switches can cause other problems, as have reported activation of Windows problems.

  AFUWIN /i328. ROM /pbc

  For reference, on my system, here's what I saw in these folders:

  C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp > dir

  Volume in drive C is DRIVE_C
  Volume serial number is FE8F-4AA6

  Directory of C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp

  26/04/2011 11:11 < DIR >.
  26/04/2011 11:11 < DIR >...
  24/01/2006 15:31 524 288 328.le rom
  01/07/2004 10:54 53 248 AFUWIN.exe
  01/07/2004 10:54 amifldrv.sys 6 912
  21/02/2006 18:08 526 374 Installer.exe
  09/05/2006 17:10 sp26760.rtf 1 784
  11/04/2005 10:55 398 696 WBDEG44I. DLL
  6 file (s) on 1 511 302 bytes
  2 dir 110,361,944,064 bytes free

  C:\Users\sumsolstice\AppData\Local\Temp\pft467D.tmp > AFUWIN i328.rom /pbc

  It should work OK, however no guarantee if there's something else - but essentially - that's what the installer should do.   If this does not work for you - I wouldn't try to force things - you can make a good motherboard unusable quickly.

  For those who are looking to this announcement - the syntax is for this motherboard only - switches may be different for different motherboards.

  Good luck.!

• Replacement of bad taken USB/eSATA in Satellite L550

  Im a traveling musician and use all my usb ports on this laptop intensively. Unfortunately, the left dual eSATA/USB port is pretty well exhausted. I'm at the corner of a card to make it work and even in this case I could suddenly lose connection and restart the software of my studio.

  It's really annoying, and the only way out he replaced the port. I tried the USB hubs, but I'd rather have this sort.

  I have 2 questions, are generally easy to weld on USB ports and the USB/eSATA plug available the sale as a spare?

  I have a large amount of soldering experience, however, there is no point opening to the top of my laptop and find the easy jobs find that these two USB ports are not available for purchase of small amount.

  Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks :)

  lol don't know why I typed hdmi

  Hi lonetraider,

  I agree with you: it's really a little bit boring if an external port doesn t work properly, especially when you use it very often.

  With regard to the spare parts and repair: I'm not sure because I m not a technician of portable but for as far as I know the port is fixed/soldered to the motherboard. This means that you need to exchange the entire mainboard to replace this unique piece

  But I think in this case, you need an official answer so please contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys you can tell if it is possible or not and how it would cost:

• HP Pavilion dv6-6135dx USB 3.0 problems

  Recently bought this laptop, I like it, it works fine.

  I reformatted about the day that I got this laptop. However, I can't get USB 2 ports on the left side of the laptop to work, I guess it is the USB 3.0 ports. The two USB ports on the right side of the laptop work well, I guess they are USB 2.0 ports. It's probably missing drivers.

  I tried to download Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 host controller driverthe HP support Web site. It does not work. After installing and running the utility USB 3.0 host controller that it installs, a small dialog box appears which says 'not found USB 3.0 host controller '.

  In Device Manager, I have two devices that have yellow exclamation points. One is listed as Controller of Bus SM, the other is listed as unknown device. The hardware ID for those who are:

  SM Bus controller:

  PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_780B & SUBSYS_358D103C & REV_13

  PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_780B & SUBSYS_358D103C

  PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_780B & CC_0C0500

  PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_780B & CC_0C05

  Unknown device:

  USB\VID_138A & PID_0018 & REV_0078

  USB\VID_138A & PID_0018

  Windows Update cannot find something for these two. I also tried to manually select the following drivers for the unknown device and the unit still does not start:

  1. Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller

  2. Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Hub

  3. Renesas Electronics hub USB 3.0

  4. Renesas Electronics USB Hub

  Although I'm not too worried about the SM Bus controller, mainly because I have no idea what its purpose is, I suppose that the ports USB 3.0 is the unknown device because of the hardware ID. Help please!

  The problem is that HP is not labeled correctly pilots. USB 3.0 drivers they have under "Chipset" do NOT allow the ports under Windows 7 on the DV6-6135DX. I discovered this way lasts as well as others.

  I replaced the hard drive and decided to use a generic version of Windows 7 to avoid the HP bloatware. After installation, port USB3 drivers have not been installed and install the package of the chipset section has nothing. Then I found a thread at Notebookreview.com where someone told me where were the USB drivers.

  The drivers for the USB 3.0/chipset ports are rolled in the driver VIDEO package. After you have installed the package of video drivers, my USB 3.0 ports worked. I then installed a video driver up to date from the AMD website and I'm good to go.

  Nowhere on the HP driver page it mentions that USB 3.0 drivers are actually part of the package of video drivers. I had to find the info from a thread at Notebookreview.com. Do not this way. HP should be out pilots in 2 packages and put them in the appropriate section, or put some type of ticket in the chipset section on where the chipset drivers are really.

  Two points:

  1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
  you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.

  2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
  motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
  disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
  the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
  If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
  legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
  the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
  license dies with him.

• USB esata combo port?

  Hello. While the specs on the hp site for my HP G72-b66US Notebook PC win7 64 bit indicates that one of the three usb ports on my laptop is a usb-esata combo port, I can't. In another post on the subject, a response showed a diagram of what it should look like - with esata on top, usb on merits - mine all the same air. I want to attach a drive external fast esata for audio/video editing, but don't want to buy one until this I'm sure it will work with my device. Does anyone know if this phone has actually a? Appreciate any help on this.  Thank you.

• What brand of external drive USB/eSATA can save a Virtual Machine to host Windows 7 operating system?

  People,

  Hello. I use 3 Player VM and Guest OS Windows Server 2003. The host OS is Windows 7. I need to increase the size of the VM disk, so who can install several systems in the guest OS. Before you increase the size of the virtual disk, I need to back up the virtual machine hard disk external. It is to copy and paste the "C:\VirtualMachine\" folder in the hard disk external.

  I just bought an external hard drive that is "Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 3.0" and its software is "WD SmartWare". It seems that the software can back up the entire hard drive only. Alternatively, the backup files by selecting the types (music, photo, document, movies). But can not save a folder "C:\VirtualMachine\".

  So my question is: what brand of external drive USB/eSATA can save a Virtual Machine to host Windows 7 operating system?

  These two questions do not apply if you have a virtual machine.

• HD T410s graphic problem after update

  A few days ago, I decided to update my 2011 T410s by Lenovo
  Toolbox. I was looking for solutions to improve the battery life. I have
  has chosen to update all 'important' and some option updates
  those I thought that could have an impact on the battery life (BIOS update, Intel HD graphics driver, thinkpad power management driver and a few others)

  Since I have lived a graphic break several times when I watch videos online such as
  thedailyshow.com or youtube.com. The first time a
  a message on the graphics driver (or something like that)
  has stopped working and has been restored but the next second the
  ventilation was repeated, monitor would go black and the
  graphics would begin slowly reappear, I'd still get a message
  on the graphics driver and the other second monitor would again
  black and so on... Now, I only get the message more difficult when it happens from the computer retrieves before leaving black. The only way to break the cycle is to restart
  the computer and everything works fine. Until I have watch another video. ! I tried uninstalling the driver HD and reinstalled (both reinstalled as Lenovo and Intel), and it still does not work.

  Suggestions? Is someone else had problems after updating?

  Please uninstall the display driver, and reinstall.

  Also, install the latest player adobe flash.

  Please watch the video file online and then check it in.

  Best regards
