Update BIOS version 1.55 for the hard-to-find S540!

I discovered by chance that today there is an update of the BIOS for the Thinkpad S540 at the link:

http://support.Lenovo.com/en_GB/downloads/detail.page?&docid=DS038373

This is the version 1.55, released on 12 May.

.. .and even if I go to drivers in general download page for the selected as the portable S540 concerned and looking at the BIOS available in the list of available software and drivers, it is still the old one version 1.54 of 12 March and not the new BIOS version 1.55 may 12 as in the link above!

I think that there is a problem of updating web pages at the Lenovo site downloads?

It seems that Lenovo support web pages are updated now so it's resolved.

    Original title: need for disk space

    Here are the official specifications of Toshiba for your PC...

    http://support.Toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?ContentId=638405&isFromTOCLink=false

    All interface PATA (IDE) connectors are a standard 40 pin.

    I know that there is no restriction on the mixture of ATA drives with different speed capabilities and no restrictions on what cable you use, whether 40 wire or 80 strand (but still 40 pins).

    Faster drives will only work at the speed of the slowest car on any cable and 80 strand cables are needed to make ATA66 or higher drives run at their native speed.

    In addition, no player can work faster than the motherboard chipset permits, in your case ATA66.

    My provider of trade has still some disks 3.5 '' PATA in stock, but these are becoming harder and harder to find. Indeed, it is possible that production has ceased and that suppliers are just exhausted stocks.

    I can certainly say that, when repairs this technology were more frequent, I never had problems with discs theoretically faster on the same cable as slower drives, nor by using faster on 40 cable strands discs. In fact, of many penny pinching manufacturers (some of them major) regularly used for the optical drive and hard drive on the same cable as the motherboard has two connectors, resulting in a decrease in performance on the disk hard (although most of the people would not have noticed the difference). Sometimes, the cable would be 40 strand (understandable if you are penny pinching) and sometimes the cable would be 80 strand (laughable if you are penny pinching because they are [were] more expensive).

    Pass your question about vacant below the sound card. Unless your text confused me, this space is for expansion cards no disk drives. Space that you reference is probably to the back of the PC. Hard drives are normally located toward the front of the dedicated PC "berries". Unfortunately, I could find no photo on the Toshiba site, and still less those internal.

  • Acer gateway ne570 won't boot upward and I tried the bios and it always detects the hard drive

    I have an acer gateway ne570 and it does not start and I tried the bios and it always detects the hard drive but first boot priority is boot windows which is the only thing on the menu Manager startup options when you press on enter where the box "no boot device, press a key" comes after starting the laptop and when the gateway logo appears. I've had for over a year and the hard drive still works and my laptop didn't come with a recovery or recovery usb drive. And I also used the alt + f10 button that linked me right back to square "no boot device, press a key. Anyway, what should I do?

    you need a PC to use the tool of creation of the windows window.

    to boot from the CD or USB, press F12 on startup and choose the correct boot device.

  • Is it dangerous for the HARD drive, the icon she samples D:\?

    Is it dangerous for the HARD drive, the icon she samples D:\?
    .. The example of the start menu button is also in D:\. (Classic interface)

    I downloaded the 'old' Nice and exchanged icons on my desktop.
    The user, workstation, trash ones and two new folders using the icons for them also.

    The question is - I moved these new icon samples in D:\ (which is not the main drive) and I was wondering if the PIN that reads the HARD drive is physically mobile all the time on one side of the disc to another. Because the icons are located in the D:\... and these icons are defined on elements that are found in C:\, lol!

    so I was wondering If it damage the hard drive (physically)!

    Please answer, thank you!

    Hi Kaloyan,

    Keep the icons in the D drive or any other drive which is not the main drive does not affect the HARD drive somehow.

    Is it possible to update my Version of Lightroom5 to the Version6 if my program came bundled with a Canon or Leica camera?

    Yes you can, I got the 5 LR with my leica D - Lux 6, then updated without problems to LR6 the stand-alone version, not the cc, also mostly I use Capture One instead.

    upgrade, you only need to pay the upgrade price, not the full.

    Hope this helps.

  • Satellite 4100xcdt does not recognize HARD drive after update BIOS version 8.20

    My laptop is a satellite 4100XCDT with windows xp and I want to install linux.
    Have the cd bootable linux (tested on other computers) but laptop doesn't not boot cd shape so I updated the bios with version 8.20 from the toshiba support site.
    Tried the disks formatted 1.44 and 7.20 such as recommended in the manual of the 4xxx series. BIOS has been updated successfully

    Result: after pressing the switch of the usual screen Toshiba appears, after the disc hard led flashes for a few seconds then windows except modus menu appears. After I made my choice (all tried) a few seconds later (and hard drive led light) flashes a blue screen (not enough long to read the message) and the computer is restarted. When starting from a back bootable floppy, I can't reach the (cd rom) drives (hdd) C and D
    But in my opinion that Windows Save menu modus is called from the hard drive (so I think that the hard drive still works)

    Hello

    Well, in my opinion a part on the HARD drive or bootable partition might be corrupted.
    You are right, if the windows save mode appears therefore HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS and the HARD drive is bootable.

    I think there must be something wrong with the data on the HARD drive.
    Something similar happened on my laptop several weeks ago. After you use the chkdsk/r, I was able to run the operating system again. But then I installed everything again.

    On the Toshiba page I found the companion disc.
    The accompanying disk is capable of detecting your CD-ROM drive on the
    Toshiba during the boot process. If you need access to your CD-ROM
    Hunt, then delete "rem" Word the following lines in the Autoexec. BAT
    and CONFIG. SYS on the accompanying disk.

    REM if exist toscd001 a:\mscdex D:TOSCD001 /M:10 (AUTOEXEC. BAT)

    REM device = a:\toscdrom.sys (CONFIG. (SYS)

  • HP Pavilion DV4-1125nr cannot start after the update/update BIOS version F.12 to d.55

    System: HP Pavilion DV4-1125nr PC Notebook

    Product #: FR922UAR #AB

    The system board ID: 30F7

    Version of the BIOS (before the update): F.12

    OS: Windows 7

    I tried to update the BIOS to d.55 which was provided by HP. After the successful installation the closure of new windows BIOS correctly. I restart the PC, HP Logo appears and then nothing happens. The operating system do not load or start at all.

    I also tried to boot using the Windows 98 Second edition CD (to charge BACK), but it did not work.

    Please help me...

    Fortunately I found a Solution to this problem.

    Here are the summaries (and modified according to my needs) the steps that I've taken of the following thread:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware/dv4-1140GO-won-t-boot-after-flashing-latest-BIOS/m-p/19698#M2730

    1. go to the hp site and download the correct version of your BIOS. In my case it had to F.12. Why not the latest version? Because there is no guarantee that the last one will work for you, know after measures.

    2. go where you downloaded the file and using 7 - Zip (or tool of your choice of course) unzip the contents to a folder of your choice. We'll get to that later, so keep this file open.

    3. use 128 MB or no matter what key-USB USB key (the smallest, you might find, because they said the smaller the better ) and reformatted to FAT or FAT32 click with the right button on the drive by clicking on "format".

    4. now that my USB is ready, go back to the folder where you extracted the file to update the BIOS (always open to the right of the folder?)

    "5. If you have the graphics card Intel integrated like me, copy the ' 30F7F12U. FD"of the key USB and RENAME the file '30F7F12U. FD' at '30F7. BIN ". Remember that this name calling to order "DV4-1125nr. If you have a different motherboard, the system or the BIOS, the name must be determined according to the.

    The next steps are exact 0.0 as follows (the link of a full detailed discussion is provided below), I simply numbered:

    6 unplug the adapter from the laptop.

    7 remove the battery from the laptop.

    8 insert the USB key into one of the USB ports on the laptop.
    Does not seem to matter which.

    9. press the 'Windows' key and the 'B' key

    10. connected to the power adapter.

    11 press the 'Power' button on the laptop.

    12. when the LED is entered, letting go of the power button / stop and the two keys down earlier.

    13. After about 10 seconds the notebook started to read the USB key. While searching for the file, the laptop beeps every seconds.
    The number of beeps varied, depending on what size of the key USB has been and
    the number of files on the USB key, a single beep for many.
    If the file was not found, the laptop will restart and try again.

    14. If the file is found then it took about 12 seconds for the laptop to load. No beeps sound not heard during the loading time.

    15. when it is responsible for the laptop has started flashing, indicated by beeps every 2 seconds. It took about 32 seconds.

    16. about 5 seconds after the ringtone had stopped off the laptop computer.

    First I update my pc with the last BIOS (F.66), but did not work for me (operating system not loaded after HP Logo ). So I decided to go back to the old F.12 (the version that has been shipped when the laptop was purchased) according to the procedure described above. But the problem is where to find version F.12 as HP currently provides links only for the version of the BIOS F.66 to d.55 (in the drivers from the hp support site section)

    Fortunately, I found a direct link to this version F.12 in the next thread.

    http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/HP-Compaq/304332-C700-CQ40-CQ45-dv4-dv5-DV6-hdx18t-Insyde-BIOS-recovery-using-USB-thumbdrive-2.html

    F.12 version:

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp40501-41000/sp40749.exe

    This was F.12 and worked for me. Thank God Almighty I return my PC.

    Thanks to all who contributed in the discussions above.

  • Satellite 4090 BIOS number - message "ready for the update BIOS... ' appears

    Hi all! Excuse my poor English because I'm french.

    A friend gives me his cell phone (a Satellite exactly 4090CDS) because he had a problem.
    In fact, the problem is that when I turn on the computer, I have a single message (not even the toshiba red logo) that is "ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update floppy in the drive and press any key when you are ready to move forward."

    So I go to the french site of toshiba, in the BIOS download, I find that I must download this update: http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/bios/satellite/4030-4060-100/bios_820.zip

    OK, I download and unpack it on a floppy disk and I start the laptop with the disjette, he said that the update has been successful and it restarts automatically.
    This time, the Red toshiba logo appears, but then I have a black screen with a message:

    Bad checksum (CMOS) *.
    Check the system. Then press the [F1] key.

    And after that, I can't do anything, not even, press F1. If I restart the laptop, I myself meet once more with the first message «Ready for the update of the BIOS...» "and it's still the same.

    If someone could help me understand what the problem is, that would be fine.
    Thank you.

    Bastien.

    It sounds as if your CMOS chip has a problem. It is possible to s that the CMOS battery has failed and the BIOS settings are lost.
    Maybe the RTC battery is empty. In this case, you should connect the AC adapter to charge the battery of the CCF.
    Please note that the RTC battery (CMOS battery) can be fluffed once the main laptop battery has been recharged. In this case, the charge process may take several hours.

    But if after this long process of load this message appears again then I guess the battery is dead.
    I suggest that you only contact your ASP closest to get your phone checked.

  • Updated since the trial version, installation asking for the old serial number

    Hi, I just bought a new license for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  The new installation requires serial number to my previous version.  I used a Version of EVALUATION.

    I need to use my new Adobe Acrobat Pro DC licensed as soon as POSSIBLE!  Help, please!

    Thank you

    Hi Nancy Bravo,

    I checked the details of your order and you have purchased the upgrade Adobe Acrobat DC version and to install the upgrade, you must have the serial number be XI Acrobat or Acrobat X. In case, you were using the old version of Acrobat (X or XI) then please use this serial number to install Acrobat. Otherwise, I suggest you well want to call the Adobe Customer Service and get that refund and buy the full version of Adobe Acrobat or you can also buy the Acrobat subscription.
