Update BIOS Satellite M60

Hi, why is it not possible to update the Windows BIOS.
The new BIOS is dated 17/11/2005 and it say that it is older than or the same as that installed!
??? My notebook BIOS is much older?!
I think that there is a problem with the version numbers.
Please let me know a solution.

Hello, Robert

As far as I know Satellite M60 is a new unit and I don't see any reason for BIOS update. I'm not familiar with versions of the BIOS update, but can you please explain why the update of the BIOS is so important to you

    I want to update bios v1.10 for v1.80. I downloaded the version of victory, but the following error:
    Part ID of the system BIOS and the new Image file are different (System = EW5 EW6 = lead). The system platform may be different from the Image file. You sure you want to continue?

  • Update BIOS Satellite 1730

    I want to update BIOS and who have already downloaded and the file dezipped. This file that I copied to a floppy disk. In the description they say I have to restart the computer and press a certain key (F12 or the left of the space bar). But it did not work. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Guenter.

    Hello

    on this model you do not need to press F12 or another key. Just unzip the packege BIOS on a blank floppy disk, reboot the machine and make sure it boots from the floppy disk. The upgrade of the BIOS will be done automatically.
    Make sure that you have the power adapter plugged!

  • Update BIOS Satellite Pro L10

    I downloaded an update of the BIOS for my laptop Satellite PRO L10, when I try to install, I get the following message

    The EW3I1A04 input file. WPH is not found, you must specify a valid file name to continue.

    Any advice appreciated

    Kind regards

    Before you take the BIOS update, you need to extract all files from zip archive.
    Then, it should work without error message.

  • Update BIOS Satellite L30 - 10V died after unsucsessful

    We couldn't get the L30-10 s to accept the 2 GB of RAM and advises him to upgrade the BIOS.

    We went on the Toshiba site and followed the instructions using the software, they have provided, we started upgrading the L30 - 10 locked up and sat there for the night, now he's dead.
    I have been informed that he needs a new motherboard and I find it hard to believe that it may be that the BIOS that has lost its data.

    Can anyone help, we have been quoted £300 to fix?

    Hello

    You can try this workaround:
    Remove the AC adapter and the battery and wait an hour. After that reconnect the adapter AC/DC and battery. Try to start the laptop and see what happens.

    If it doesn t work you need assistance from an authorized service provider. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module and in the worst cases, the motherboard needs to be replaced.

    Sorry but there is no other solution for a BIOS update has failed. :(

  • Satellite M60 - cannot access the HARD disk but update the BIOS

    Hello

    I want to update the bios on a Satellite M60
    the problem is that I can't access either on my hard drive it still reboot

    So, first I want to try to update my Bios but as I can't work with windos XP I need to do it with a Dos command.

    is there any solution for this?

    Thank you very much

    and why you want to update the BIOS?

    Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop should work well and should start the Windows operating system.
    This means that the problem with your laptop is unrelated to the old version of the BIOS.

    Have you tried to check the HARD drive or to reinstall Win XP?

  • Satellite M60 - issue of BIOS

    I am the owner of a computer Toshiba Satellite M60 laptop and have problems with my driver installed, which I explained in a thread below.
    (I get the message, that the driver does not work properly and I have to restart my laptop)

    I thought, that the problem can be the temperature, but know I have more fans on my laptop and never more than 35 degrees hot.
    Now, I read, that this problem can be a configuration issue in the BIOS and all the others, I know at the same time, who had the same problem could solve the problem by changing the graphics power (?) or something similar in the BIOS Setup. Then I checked the BIOS setup of my M60 Notebook with BIOS V 1.6 and had to realize, that the BIOS of the laptop Toshiba doesn't have anything, I can really change. This is an absolutely beginners BIOS Setup and I'm really angry about this. Is their ability to expand the possibilities of the BIOS Setup? I really had a lot of problems with this laptop since the beginning and so I know also that the standard configuration of Toshiba is not the best every time.

    Thank you.

    First of all you shouldn't t mix for desktop PC BIOS and BIOS for laptops.
    These options are probably available in the BIOS for desktop PC, but certainly not in the BIOS for laptops.

    Computers laptop Toshiba are equipped with a different BIOS that are designed and configured especially for Toshiba laptops.
    Cooling modules are controlled automatically by the BIOS, and you can't modify all the parameters that modify the cooling function.
    What you can do is to change the settings in Toshiba Power Saver. All that s.

    If your get some graphics driver errors, I recommend updating the BIOS and the Toshiba page graphics card driver.

    In addition, you can check if the vents are not blocked and prevent air circulation.
    I cleaned my fans using the compressed air jet that helped to turn out to get rid of dust and debris.

  • Satellite P20 S203: update BIOS after version 1.70

    Hello! I have a Satellite P20 - S203 BIOS is Ver1.70, published on 20/11/2003. I think there pretty outdated now, but there has been no new versions for years and I think that this great computer, despite the old, should be more supported. What I don't understand is why they made an exit for the PSP23E and not for the PSP20E, that make the differences that they should deserve to be updated bios different?

    Does anyone of you know about BIOS versions after 1.70 which allow the laptop to boot from SD cards or removable media? And that the problems of the management of multiple USB devices?
    Thank you

    Hello

    I use P20 over two years, without any update of the BIOS. If your device works well I recommend you to leave. Boot from the SD card is not possible and update the BIOS will not allow this.

    What problem do you have with the USB devices?

  • 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?

  • Update firmware BIOS Satellite L500-1

    Hello

    I am looking for an update of firmware Bios Satellite L500-1 CPU Intel T7300 SLA45 support.
    The previous CPU was Intel® Celeron® Processor 900 SLGLQ
    The latest version of the Bios is
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-file...135948.zip

    The system turns on, but there is a prompt F1, after that the system starts normally.
    Thanks in advance

    These updates are not available on the public download page so that you can try is to contact Toshiba nearest service and ask for help.
    I m quite pessimistic in this regard because Toshiba doesn't support the exchange of CPU or upgrade. I guess you know who. Do you have?

  • Satellite T135 - update BIOS 2.70 won't be finished

    I have a Satellite T135 Win7 running with an original BIOS that I'm moving to 2.70. I ran all the other software updates in Service Station (2.1.51) with no problems. but the BIOS downloads 2.7, initiates and cautions that I'll need to reboot (I select Yes to execute) and receive notice of popup on the electrical problem (defective DC) which corrects this BIOS, then nothing. It just stops.

    I disabled my firewall windows antivirus, but the update is still unable to fill. I downloaded the file directly from Toshiba (outside the Service Station) and run the file and exactly the same thing happens.
    The event viewer shows all the related entries.

    Anyone has an idea on how to get the updated BIOS up-to-date?

    Hi mwarwick,

    Did you install any new version of package of added value of the Web from Toshiba site? This program is necessary if you want to update the BIOS to check if you have installed the latest version.

    In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS before doing the update. Then, go into the BIOS, press F9 to load the default values, save & exit it.

    Can update you the BIOS now?

  • Satellite Pro M30 - error message: the user is not authorized to update BIOS

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite Pro M30 of second hand. This one has the Bios 1.30... I would like to install the bios v1.70.

    I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 and tried first update in Windows.
    I however got the message "the user is not allowed to update BIOS.

    This message is quite surprising given that I have administrator privileges.

    I read that you can use a floppy disk to update, but I did not...

    So, is it possible to update the Bios with the CD?

    See you soon,.
    R.S.

    Hello

    I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and found the version of BIOS 1.7 WIN in the field of ARCHIVES.

    As you can see, it's a version of BIOS Windows and not a traditional version of the BIOS (trad BIOS can be updated using the diskette).
    This BIOS win can be improved only from a running OS Win.

    In any case, I see that you have installed SP3. It could have a bad influence on the update of the BIOS.
    Then maybe you should try to update the BIOS without SP3 installed?

    Remove SP3, download the good BIOS, unzip correctly and then try to run the BIOS update file.

    _Ps: If you laptop then runs without problem a BIOS update is not necessary! _

  • Satellite C660 - no Internet connection after updating BIOS

    I am a novice user and have a Satellite C660 under warranty that I don't use for surfing the net and Ebay so I hope I can explain my problem!

    Toshiba bulletin board said that the need to update BIOS, so I followed the instructions but since then I have no internet connection, and cannot restore the connection that I lost all help Toshiba Bulletin Board today lost and none of the programs to sort the problems work - e.g.set assistants etc. I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?

    Can someone tell me if it's a failure caused by the BIOS update or I would return laptop to John Lewis for repair? Thank you very much for reading this

    Hey Buddy,

    The default settings in the BIOS load after update? If this is not the case, go into the BIOS and load the default settings. You can enter the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows start and then press the F9 key to load defaults. Then save & exit the BIOS Setup.

    You can access the Internet now?
    You try to access the Internet with LAN or WLAN connection?

    Also check device manager if all devices are recognized correctly.

    > I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?
    You can create the Toshiba Recovery disk every time. Just launch the pre-installed Toshiba Recovery Media Creator and follow the instructions on the screen. You need just a few blank DVDs to create the discs. Disks contain a factory image of settings which can be restored each time and how many times you want to so with these disks, you are on the safe side ;)

    Hello

    Toshiba offers updates BIOS to WIN. This means that the BIOS update can be done under Windows operating system only. You can't do this if you use Linux.

    Is there a reason to update BIOS? I mean, if everything is OK you must not update BIOS to the latest version.

  • Can't find an updated BIOS for Satellite A30

    Hi friends.
    I'm not found Toshiba A30-203 a new BIOS update.
    I want to install windows vista but this sccren error.
    Error message:
    "A computer has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you2ve seen this Stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Please contact your system provider for an updated BIOS. »

    to apologize for my bad English.

    Hello

    It seems that the Satellite A30 series is a series that was shipped with the BIOS to no support for Vista.
    I think that it should be possible to install Vista after a update of the BIOS.

    But know that you will ask for the new version of the BIOS. Am I wrong? ;)

    Well, on the page of the Toshiba BIOS, you should find different versions of BIOS.
    It is very important that you check the more info option you will resume the BIOS updated. You will find information on the compatibility of the BIOS (not every version is compatible with all units).

    But as you know that Vista is not official on the market. As I remember, it should be possible to buy the operating system in January 2007.
    I think Toshiba will present a new version of BIOS for Vista in next time. So I hope ;)
