  Hello

  You can download another version of the same-update bios here:

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soID=1153942&MOID=385411&RPN=P PR10U

  This file contains more information on the execution of the update, see the readme file

  If the "live update" in XP does not work, you will need at least a key-USB-fdd, most of them is easily recognized by the bios (hold F12 during startup and choose the fdd)

• Portege 3500 operating temperature?

  Hello

  My Portege 3500 crashes regularly (the monitor continues to show what was the last one on the screen, but no entry is accepted, not even ctrl-alt-del) I have to hold in the power button until the laptop turns off to restart. I think that this could be due to overheating and try to check it out using speedfan to monitor temperatures.

  Does anyone know what temperature ranges are acceptable for the 3 temperature gauges that speedfan reports (Temp Local, remote Temp and Temp1)?

  Thank you
  -Jason.

  It's not easy to say what temperature is acceptable. On my laptop, I recorded about 60 ° C and everything run ok.
  I assume you are using unit for a long time as well as the fans have not been cleaned.
  You can try to do. But be careful. If you have no experience, you shouldn't have t do.
  Additional you should always be sure that there is enough free space around the laptop for cool air circulation.

  PS: you may install the Everest application. This tool provides a lot of information on the entire system.
  After cleaning, you can compare the temporary values

• Portege 2010 - bad BIOS (block3)

  I have a portege 2010 with a bad bios
  on normal startup, it goes to screen
  BIOS (Block3) is damaged! (Call the repairman).

  so I tried to reflash the bios in the usual way.
  do a disk with
  -----
  biosfile biofca6t.com
  chgbiosa.exe
  -----
  and start either with the flashing the BIOS button (just to the left of the space bar)
  or by pressing any key on-screen "block3.

  It does not load the program chgbiosa.exe. who reads the bios file
  Hot flashes and it recharges
  -----
  Reading BIOS file...
  Data erasure and writing the BIOS...

  ROM write successful!
  Utility finished
  -----
  Then it restarts

  but unfortunately. nothing changes. He still goes to the display of block 3

  so I think I can have damaged the chip of the bios on my hands.
  Since the successful re-flash does nothing...

  -----------------
  NOT RECOMMENDED
  So I decided to check if the chgbiosa actually do anything.
  so, during the writing process, I unplugged the power.
  (incomplete writing process) and I'm done with a (block 1)
  damaged. An another bios update later.
  and we are back to (Block3)
  so it does not write in the bios
  DO NOT TRY THIS: can erase the part "failsafe" of the bios
  ---------------------
  so the question is. Where should I go from here.

  I'm willing and able to unsolder the chip and flash also
  but I don't have a bios not 'complete' user flashable part only of it since the official updates of the file...

  can I order a new chip preflashed somewhere?

  can I somehow totally clear the bios user box then it reflashing?

  can - I somehow replace the bios (more than the standard chgbiosa way?)

  can I transplanted the and of a motherboard Portege 2000
  (the failsafe will start so I can flash with a bios P2010?)

  I can start another tool, describing it as "chgbiosa.exe" on the floppy drive, which can be useful

  can I do the smaller biosfile, so it won't need block3 (remove the logo toshiba etc.)
  from the rom file?

  Any suggestions are appreciated

  This notebook is a project of the company. I am prepared to do anything...

  Hello

  So many questions, and most of them must be answered by technicians. I really think you need professional help. I recommend you to call the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
  To be honest, I don't think that you will be able to order this chip anywhere. Speak with the service.

  By the way: mainboard renovated for Portege 2000/2010 with work well chip BIOS, I found on eBay for 39 euros, so if you can not do anything and BIOS repair buy new motherboard, Exchange and be happy.

  Furthermore, I Portege 2000 and it's really nice laptop.

• Re: Portege A600-13Y: update BIOS 1.50 to 2.00 - WIN - how it is risky?

  Hello

  My BIOS Portege A600-13Y is version 1.50:

  -should I upgrade to 2.00WIN?
  -J' found this source for the biso 2.0 upgrade but there is no indication that the file is authentic bios TOSHIBA.
  No checksum, any ssl certificate, nothing. Is it possible to get it securely / authenticated?

  Thanks for the responses,
  Schneiderlein

  Hello

  First, you must use and download the BIOS files only from site Web from Toshiba.
  PPA61E Portege A600-13Y is a European model for Toshiba laptop and all the drivers and BIOS can be found on the Toshiba driver page.

  I put t know why you ask control totals or certificate ssl of the Web from Toshiba sites are safe
  but everyone who needs drivers or BIOS can download

  You must only make sure that you have chosen the right laptop model and you have downloaded the good BIOS!

  But why you want to update the BIOS?
  If your laptop is running without problem, then, an update of the BIOS is not important, that I'm still this notice; never change a running system.

• Portege 3410 - how to update BIOS and install XP?

  Hello, I have two questions on Portege 3410.

  First: I can't update the BIOS (current usage, 1.50 there, I want to update to 1.60). Instruction does not work: I connect Teac USB into USB port, turn on the USB - FDD emulation to activate, portable switch with pressed F12, the message «Ready to update BIOS...» "appears, I touch in a hurry, but nothing happened. What's wrong?

  The other: I can't install Windows XP on laptop (it does not start from USB disk or external USB DVD drive).
  How can I install Windows?

  Thank you.
  Mikhail

  Hello

  Just a question: why do you want to update the BIOS? Is this really necessary?
  I ask this question because this update is always somewhat risky and you might damage it ROM module
  In any case, have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS before you start the update and install XP?

  You can install XP without CD. Therefore, you must copy the folder i386 on the HARD drive from another computer and the boot to the HARD drive files, I think you need a little search with Google to find a workaround for this. You should find enough! ;)

• What is operation temperature of the processor on your Portege R500?

  I have a laptop Portege R500 in series with processor U7600 and would * like to know what other users average operating temperature is for normal office use * i.e. Word processing, watching DVD/youtube, surfing the net, etc.

  I ask because I recently bought a used dock (port replicator ii) and also upgraded the OS on the laptop. It seems to me that there may be a problem, because under heavy use (compilation of software) performance appears to deteriorate on the machine - only solution seems to be turning the device off and leave it for a few minutes.
  Even when I don't have something heavy - such as typing this message, the CPU temperature lingers in the 1980s high (Celsius).

  I've seen on the forums that other people have had on this model of laptop overheating problems. My machine is about three and a half years of age. I opened and cleaned the fan in the air compressed and checked that it actually turns when turned on. However, I don't think a lot of air if I put my hand next to the exhaust, when turned on.

  Is someone can confirm if the exhaust is supposed to s u c k or expel air? Can you confirm your time average CPU? Anyone having problems with dock causing overheating?

  Thanks in advance!

  Can you please tell us what OS you use and what application you use to check the temperature of the processor?

• Update CPU is possible on Portege 2010

  Hi, I wonder if it is possible to upgrade the processor on my Portege 2010, I work as a pc technician so I have no problem to do the job.
  If so can what models I use?

  Thank you

  Upgrade CPU on the laptop is really not simple and delicate. I think you know this because you're a pc technician.
  The Portege 2010 seems to be an old I didn t find many details on this device, but I found out that this laptop was equipped the PIII-M (Mobile) 866 MHz 133 MHz FSB processor.

  What you could do is install and hardware diagnostic tool to find out which chipset is supported. Then check the details of this chipset (maybe on Intel page) and which could be supported by the CPU.

  However, I'm really skeptical that the laptop will be stable after the upgrade of Mr. overheating could be a big trouble!

• Question about updating BIOS for my Satellite M40

  So, my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Support suggested me to update my Bios.
  OK, given that the last time, it was easy.

  I downloaded the newsest version vor my Satellite M40 (PSM40) (1, 70 - WIN<= i="" have="" an="" ati="" grafics="" card)="" and="" extracted="" the="" bios-20070709161345.zip="">
  But there was a surprise:
  Instead of getting the old data structure, as written in the FAQ update Bios
  1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
  2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"

  I get a file only: BIOS of Windows Knockhill10GV170.exe
  Extraction of it I get 8 files:
  -fdbase.img
  -InsydeFlash.exe
  -iscflash.dll
  -iscflash.vxd
  -KPM170. ROM
  -Platform.ini
  -The c:\windows\system32\unicows.dll

  Now my question: How can I create this bootable CD-ROM to update my Bios?

  Just to know: download all the other things are done on my desktop from my laptop is not starting ;)
  I also tried to run the exe in the hope that it will create a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, but it is written "basic cfg address not found."

  Hello

  Update the BIOS there are two ways to do this:
  -Traditional mode (TRAD) and in this case, you need floppy
  -Windows (WIN) and this update can be done under operating system running.

  Update BIOS WIN will work if you run Windows on your laptop satellite. If I understand your assignment well you are trying to do traditional BIOS updated, but using the BIOS to WIN update. On the Toshiba download page, there are two listed BIOS updates and two of them as versions of WIN. This means that you can update the BIOS under operating system only.

  Back to your problem: in the history one thing confuses me when you write: my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Sorry, but if the recovery procedure is working and you will have clean installed OS.

  Be a little more concrete in our laptop does not start. What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?

• Portege 2010 - clicks of death? -Perhaps the HARD drive is dead

  Hello

  A few minutes ago, I tried to start my portege 2010, who worked a few hours ago. Now, I do not even past the BIOS screen because the disc is of strange noises, as leaders try to enter the post, but fail. I have to admit that yesterday the system froze for no obvious reason but I didn't know that this was due to a failure to come, I just rebooted the machine and it behaved like any other day. So I'm rather perplexed, how the disaster could hit so suddenly. The portege is out of the warranty period, so I guess there is no way get around to buy a new drive. I wonder if this problem is a common problem among the Portégé series, I think I remember an article published online by indicating this.

  Hello Steffen

  If Toshiba STAS 10 000 or more laptop computers Portege 2010 and you find one or 10 other users with the same symptoms of HARD drive, it cannot be any kind of common problem. Common problem is something else.

  According to your description, is it really possible the HARD drive shows signs of dysfunction. All you can do is to watch carefully what happens in the next few days and if the HDD feature fails, you must buy a new HARD drive. All that s!

  If you will be able to start it in some way I recommend you back up all your data (e.g. on USB key) before the HARD disk fails completely.
