• Update BIOS Portege 2010 / operating temperature

  Hello

  How can I update my BIOS when using Ubuntu Linux?

  The reason why I want to update my BIOS is on the one hand, Ubuntu
  writes an error during the startup and recommend to upgrade and
  the other hand, I fear that there may be a temperature problem, at least the
  laptop gets slower after working for a while.

  The laptop operating temperature usually is between 45 to 64 degrees.
  The fan starts running at 62 degrees and goes off to 52 degrees.

  The temperature seems to be pretty normal, I would say, but I think that it is not normal that the
  laptop gets slower when using above 50 degrees.

  I already opened it, it seems to be all right with the cooling unit, no dirt for example...

  Maybe I just persuade me I and the performance is quite normal for a PIII with
  866 MHz?

  Thank you

  Dear Julio

  I guess you know that Linux is not being designed load OS and BIOS update is created to be performed by running the Windows operating system. This beautiful Portege is known to me and I know very well that this is not the laptop the fastest and is designed for commercial purposes working with Office, electronic communication, and any other daily activity.

  Because of this can be the answer to your last question: Yes persuade you yourself.

  I installed the driver of common Modules after it failed the first time, but now when the BIOS update starts I get an error window pop up saying "user is not authorized to update BIOS. Where do I change this?

• 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! ;)

• Portege R100 and Linux - function keys not working do not and the latest version of the BIOS?

  Hello world

  I have a Portege R100 (PPR10L-13G10P). I am trying to install Linux and when you try to access function keys (F6) the computer does not allow me to... no idea why?

  Also, what is the latest version of BIOS for this computer? And where it can be downloaded?

  Thanks in advance!

  Terrence

  Hello

  At first, I must say that Toshiba doesn't support Linux in general if you are alone with this problem.
  I hope that someone will be able to help you a bit.
  If you want to discover the latest version of the BIOS, just enter the BIOS settings and check it out.
  BIOS version latest won't help you at all, so my opinion is that you shouldn't change anything.

  Anyway, the bio download page is - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp

  The feature keys F is supported by special tool Windows and it only works on Windows.

• Portege R100 - BIOS can't see 1.8 inch 2 GB PCMCIA HDD

  Hello
  I have laptop TOSHIBA PORTEGE R100, I wanted to reinstall win XP using PCMCIA HDD (MK2001MPL).

  It is easily detectable by Windows XP, but it is not detected by my BIOS v 1.3 (I changed the boot priority).
  I should mention that I formatted FAT32 and saved, copied, but it still does not work. Is it possible to start the PCMCIA HDD with BIOS, or I can use it just as internal HDD.
  There may be special driver or another method to solve my problem.

  Waiting for response, any advice would be helpful...

  Hello

  the problem is that the HARD drive is not supposed to act as a normal player. It s, more an extension and I'm not sure I have it would actually work in the BIOS as you describe.
  I think that it wouldn work because the HARD drive need a driver that is not given when just the BIOS is loaded. BIOS loads network PCMCIA cards, but I've never heard of a PCMCIA HDD which was used as a bootable disk. Maybe USB but no PC Card.

  IMHO, I think you should drop your thoughts on using the card as a bootable drive and use it as a normal internal memory expansion.

  In the opposite case: google is your friend :)

• Update card WLAN MiniPCI on a Portege R100

  Hello

  I have a Portege R100 and want to upgrade the internal wlan card in an adapter 802.11 g.
  I ve has already searched the Internet, but has not found a fitting. Can you tell me if it s possible, and that I can use. Y at - it than not with integrated bluetooth too?
  Thank you, Florian Niedermayer

  Hello

  Your Portege is old enough laptop and designed model 4 years ago. I found some info it comes with mini-PCI adapter Intel PRO / Wireless 2100 LAN 3B. The same WLAN card is in my laptop Tecra and I am quite pleased. The download speed is not the fastest, but it works well enough and I can use Skype to talk with friends without any connectivity problem.

  In any case, to find compatible parts for older models of laptops is not so easy. If nobody here can offer accurate information, try contacting your local dealer or authorized Toshiba service. They are responsible for the hardware support and they should be able to give the right info. You may be able to use Intel WLAN 802.11 g (bis zu 54Mbps) with good old classic. I don't see another solution. If possible, try to get this card and test it. If this does not work you can send it back.

  Please let us know if the upgrade will be successful.

• Portege R100 and external 17 '' LCD - cannot set the resolution of the screen to the right

  A 17 "LCD is connected to my Portege R100 via the port replicator. The native resolution is 1280 x 1024. But the actual resolution is only 1024 x 768. The LCD screen can adjust images automatically. Actual resolution can be verified by LCD menu. This distorted text on external LCD.

  I put the exteranl LCD resolution at 1280 x 1024 on panel--> display--> setting...
  The version of the video driver is v6.4823 - 104.22_2. BIOS, common module, Toshiba screen device Cahange the Toshiba Hotkey utility for display were all updated to the latest version.

  I used Fn + F5 combination to switch between display modes: Simoutaneous, external monitor only. This has not fixed the problem.

  Someone has an idea?

  Thank you very much in advance.

  Hello

  The preferred resolution is not available on the external screen because the display driver that is installed on the laptop does not support!
  The external monitor is able to manage the 1280 x 1024, but if this resolution is not listed in the display driver, then you will not be able to choose!

  My Portege R100 is an Intel (r) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter, which is configurable for WEP only. Can someone tell me if I can improve it so that it is configurable for WPA/WPA2, please?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I checked the specifications of this WLAN card on the Intel site and it seems that this cap card WLAN key be configured for WPA.

  In any case, is that you've updated the driver for the WIRELESS network and the BIOS card? Two updates that you can find on the Toshiba site.
