• Upgrade the BIOS laptop won't stop

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion Notebook 17

  Product number: E0J89UA #ABA

  64-bit Windows 8

  I got a message to upgrade the BIOS.   I did and now when I click close it acts like it is going and the screen goes black but the power light stays on with the light for the F12 airplane mode.  When I opened the laptop, the light is still on.  I can't click with the mouse or press the windows key to wake him up.    I held down the power button to stop it so I can start it up.  Starts fine with no problems.  Does not even say that windows is not shut down properly.

  I also had to do the upgrade several times with the BIOS.  It's the F.21AP1 Version when it's time to upgrade the first that he was supposed to restart and it does not.  When I went back to the HP Wizard, it appeared that I needed to update.  It no longer.

  Thank you!

  Because it is not turn it off, you can try to disable all items that load at startup, check if maybe a program running in the background is preventing it from closing properly. Follow the instructions here: prevent opening software programs when Windows starts (Windows 8)
  
  If this fails, you might be able to restore the BIOS using this method: restore the BIOS
  
  Let me know if it helps.

• Satellite A500-1GL - cannot upgrade the BIOS

  Hello

  I tried to upgrade the BIOS on my Satellite A500-1GL (PSAR9E) for awhile now, but a dead battery so I can not go beyond the security check at the beginning. Is it all of the way around it, like I'm connected with current alternative, so I don't see what the problem is! Could I have possibly self-extracting zip files.

  Any help would be appreciated as this is very frustrating!

  Hello

  I think that you will not be able to update the BIOS, if your battery is dead.
  Victory based BIOS update can be updated from Windows system, and there is a security option that allow you to update the BIOS only if the laptop is connected to the power adapter and if the battery is charged.

  You can update the BIOS using a traditional BIOS version, but as far as I know that Toshiba service partner could do that.

  If you have two options:
  Purchase a battery in order to update the BIOS by using win according to BIOS version or you will get in touch with an ASP in your country and will ask you to update the BIOS by using the traditional version of BIOS.

  But the BIOS update is necessary to you?

  I have a laptop with the old BIOS version and I don't have that day even if the new version has been released.

• Upgrading the Bios on Satellite A30

  Can someone tell me please how can I update my bios apparently Toshiba seem to be wrong. OM my Satellite A30 using XP Pro I started having the blue screen everytime I turn on and he told me that there is something missing or incorrect in the Bios and it must be upgraded. I downloaded the correct update of Toshiba on my desktop Pc and followed the instructions which are

  Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.

  Insert a 1.44 MB diskette formatted in the floppy drive.

  Run the *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen. A BIOS update diskette will be generated.

  Make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector.

  Turn off the laptop.

  Place the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy drive.

  Turn on the laptop with the F12 key.

  The BIOS boot menu appears. Select 'Removable Device', 'USB Floppy Drive' or the diskette symbol using arrow keys. Press "enter".

  Notepad starts from the BIOS upgrade diskette.

  The BIOS update will automatically launch.

  After a few minutes, as the laptop turns off automatically, remove the disk and do a restart. If it does not then remove the disk and turn off the system and return to restart the laptop.

  I did the first parts of the above, but when I try and run the file to a floppy disk on my desktop, the program seems to think that I am trying to upgrade the bios on this machine and of course, I get an error message and am not able to create a floppy disk. Can someone please?

  Hello

  so, this BIOS is a bios "Windows update". This means that the Bios will be updated in windows and not with a floppy disk. I don't know why toshiba is to give such instructions, but I believe that they didn t update since these new BIOS instructions.

  What version of Bios you downloaded? It should be the version 1.80. In the case of this version, just unpack the file in a folder in the zip and run it. They deposit with unzip itself C:\Windows\Temp\Winphlash and run the bios update procedure.

  So, please try again and give me a 'big picture on your situation":)

• Satellite U300 - how to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?

  Attempt to update the BIOS of my U300-153, which is described as an operating system independent on the download page, I find that the upgrade file is provided in
  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090304140640.zip
  does not include the files to create a bootable CD, as described in the instructions to the
  IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07
  where Option 2 step 2 lists the files that are in the zip, and they are required to make a bootable cd. The files listed are not in the zip.

  It forces me to use Windows. My Windows is broken and I can't fix it, because Windows repairs destroy data (clearly indicated on the packaging of recovery CD) and installations of Linux. My Linux works very well, and I don't want the windows more.

  So how can I upgrade the BIOS? Either:
  1. use a true independent bundle of BONES (ie the promised approach of bootable CD). I can't find such a thing here.
  2 reinstall Windows, which trashes the laptop.

  Any suggestions?

  Sincerely,
  Aleksander K

  > How to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?
  Is not possible since the BIOS on Toshiba page is a victory-based BIOS version and if you want to update the BIOS then you need to install the Windows operating system and then you can run the exe file

• Satellite 2800-600 - how to upgrade the Bios/Firmware?

  How can I upgrade the Bios and firmware on my 2800-600? I want to install a new Combodrive. Which drives are supported? Where can I find the drivers and firmware etc... Please let me know. Thank you.

  Another point of view - I bought MS Windows XP Pro and haven´t you have a PC to install it on. Can I install this OS on my Satellite? Will it work? Where can I find the drivers for touchpoint etc etc... Normally, the Toshiba works with Windows ME and I can not use ITunes on ME... if XP would be great - what do you think?

  Hello Jürgen

  In my opinion, if you install the operating system on the unit you you use the recovery CD provided because it has been tested and it works without any problem. But if you want to install another system on your laptop, you can use the original Microsoft OS and all the necessary drivers, you can find the Toshiba site.

• Upgrading the BIOS. Mobo ASUS P5LP - THE. BIOS of PHX. Tech. of ver.3.16. Pavilion a1620n. Win 7OS.

  I have a Hp Pavilion a1620n with a motherboard ASUS P5LP - THE using Phoenix Technologies Bios VER.3.16 and running Windows 7. I want to upgrade the processor and said that I have to upgrade the Bios before upgrading the processor. I have been researching but can't find any info on how to do it for this particular machine. There is no on-board Bios Flash program and I can't seem to find any information. Any ideas?

  AZ_scuba_dude, welcome to the forum.

  There is no update software/BIOS for Win7 for the computer.  It is unlikely that there will be a developed.  However, there is a BIOS update for XP.  You will need to do a system restore to the original configuration that includes XP.  Once this operation is complete, you can update the BIOS to version: 3.19.  You can do the update using the executable file (sp35100.exe). Although she did not mention anything about what makes the upgrade of the processor.  Here are the Specifications of the motherboard of the computer.  In the processor upgrade information section, it lists the updates that supports HP.

  Please let us know if this solved your problem or not.

• HP pavilion 15-p263ca: I can upgrade the CPU in my laptop, or is he doomed to have speeds(1.9-2.4gHz) low overclocking forever?

  I want to upgrade the CPU on my laptop, but I don't know if this is possible or where to look to see if there is. This is hp Pavilion p263ca 15.

  Processor AMD A10 is an APU, which means it's a graphic processor/card combination.

  I believe that you are at the top of the mark on the hardware configuration of your model series.

  Unfortunately, I do not know how the processor works.

  Without a doubt, it's automatic and no user intervention is necessary or possible.

• Upgrading the BIOS on a Tecra M10 but without MS Windows

  Hello!

  My Tecra M10 runs OpenSolaris. No windows on this machine. Question is how upgraded the BIOS on this subject? The only file that I found to download is a Windows executable file...
  Another way? Such as the creation of a CD or a USB drive?

  Thanks in advance,
  Gilles gravel

  And what files you want to save on a CD or USB stick?
  Long since Toshiba doesn't offer traditional BIOS update but only the Win version.
  What you can try is to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

  They have access to the database of Toshiba and I imagine that they can help you with the update of the BIOS.
  You can also exchange of HDD, recovery of installation image, make sure BIOS update and put old HDD with solaris back. Maybe some friend of you HARD drive and you can borrow for this purpose.

• Satellite A100-386 - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  Hello

  I wanted just to update my old Satellite A100-386 with 4 GB of RAM (2x2gb Crucial) instead of 1 GB, as I am now running Windows7 Pro 64 bit instead of the original XP 32.

  I read that I had to upgrade the BIOS as mine is v2.00. So, I downloaded the last of them.
  It seems to be an automatic upgrade of BIOS (S10V600.exe) as mentioned on the site Web of Toshiba.
  But when hit the .exe, I have a box of error message saying:
  "LOADPEDRV. "EXE: could not start the service.

  My question is: do I have to be 32-bit OS to run the upgrade of the automatic BIOS or is it possible to Flash the BIOS with a Windows7 64 bit OS run?

  Thanks a lot for all answer as I found no 'how to' in search on this forum.

  Best regards
  François

  Hi FPSim,

  Who said that you need to update the BIOS to upgrade RAM? The maximum RAM capacity depends on the motherboard and chipset and not BIOS.

  Official website of Toshiba, I have seen that the model supports 4 GB of RAM so the BIOS update is not necessary. Increase the RAM and everything is ok.

• Satellite A210-19Z (PSAFGE-05P00KGR) - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  Hey guys,.

  I'm happy with my Satellite A210-19Z (PSAFGE-05P00KGR), but I had some problems with the Energiesaving Mode on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
  I read on the internet that a BIOS update would be useful on the download site there is only 1 update of the BIOS and that includes WinPhlash but WinPhlash does not work on Vista or Windows 7.

  Because there is no other update tools on the host and my machine was delivered with the Vista operating system. Because of this, I created a bootable usb key with phlash16.exe and the 'm10a190.rom' I've renamed "bios.wph" on this subject.
  When I start BACK and enter ' phlash16/x', my laptop starts the Application and I see a progressbar crossing. After perhaps a second I see the main menu of Phlash16 but it freezes until I am able to do something (the keyboard doesn't respond when I press a button).

  Do you know what I did wrong, or is it not possible to update my BIOS?

  Thanks for your help and I look forward to receive your reply soon.
  Chris

  Hey Chris,

  I also checked the Web from Toshiba site for BIOS update on a series of Satellite A210 PSAFGE and it shows an update to BIOS version 1.90. This update is based on Windows and it will appear on all versions of Windows (XP, Vista 32 bit and Vista 64-bit). So perhaps you can explain what you mean with it doesn't work under Vista. You get an error message?

  I understand that the update doesn't work on Windows 7 because at the moment are no drivers available for this system in that time so the update should only be done on XP or Vista. I put t understand why try to Flash the BIOS in DOS mode. It's really risky and you can destroy the ROM module in the worst cases.

  I did also update the BIOS on my laptop, I did:
  -Update the BIOS on a Toshiba preinstalled OS
  -J' was logged in as an administrator
  -J' closed all the running background processes and programs, also the antivirus, firewall and internet connection
  -J' extracted all the files to zip archive and start the update has been done successfully.

  I hope I could help you! :)
