• Want DV6-7300ea problem of updating Bios with SSD

  Hello

  Recently, I swapped my HARD drive to the STRANGE Bay and put an SSD in the startup location.  Everything works fine until it was update the BIOS to the new version F.26.  After having downloaded the update and run the .exe, the computer restarts and the normal blinking screen comes up - everything seems as it should and checks the update. Then, the system reboots and what I see is a black screen with the fan turns. He accomplishes this task for 30 seconds, then stops and goes through the same routine. I left for an hour, but no progress so I removed the battery and swapped the HARD drive in the main Bay. Put running the laptop and it displays the screen "Boot Block update" and continued to work as usual.

  No idea why he won't not on-screen "update Boot Block" with the SSD in as peripheral to start?

  When you start the update of the BIOS ROM file performs a check of the configuration of the laptop. The coding of the met the STRANGE unexpected update and configuration SSD as your laptop went into a loop. When you have returned the laptop on its original config that apparently satisfied with the softpaq update BIOS and completed its task. Now, we know the results of the portable non-standard configurations on the BIOS updates.

  Thanks for posting this has happened and the final result.

• Satellite A500 - update BIOS with dead battery

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A500 (PSAR3E) laptop and I need to update the BIOS to the latest version.
  Unfortunately, my battery died completely, and I have no chance to get a working one.

  I was trying to update the bios all day, but no matter how I try (even created a boot back drive and took command line phlash16, /forceit and so on) it keeps telling me that he needs at least 10% charged battery present.

  How can this problem be solved?

  > If I remove the battery, engine update fails, say there is no battery present, if I fix the battery, then update will fail saying the battery must be at least 10% - but he died, this percentage is 0.
  And you write about original Win version that you have downloaded from the Toshiba BIOS download page and started in Windows?

  To be honest is unclear to me that there is a trick to avoid this situation.
  Maybe something stupid, but now, do you really need to install the update to the BIOS?
  Is there a problem with your machine?

• UPDATE BIOS WITH OEM WIN 7

  Hello, I'm under Win7 64-bit OEM version. I want to update my BIOS by removing the old BIOS chip and its replacement by a new chip with the latest BIOS on this subject. My question is, will see the BONE and detecting the new BIOS as a computer or a new Board of Directors. I will replace the CMOS battery at the same time.

  All advice appreciated.

  Thank you, Buster.

  Well well well, its my lucky day, I have triumphed!  I thought I would take a shot at a flash, downloaded the update of the BIOS on the XFX 4 times site, whenever Win Zip told me it was an archive invalid so gave up on that!

  Swapped the chip for the BIOS and CMOS battery, started waiting for re configure CMOS and BIOS, but all my settings was intact! How bizzare!

  Entered 'System' and noted that I had 3 days to activate, click on "Activate now" problems while waiting but no.. bosh... work.  Well happy.

  Thanks for your input guys. At least, it has been proven that you can put a fresh BIOS chip in a system with OEM operating system.  All the work took about 10 minutes!

  Thanks again, Buster.

  Thank you to let us know.

• ENVY dv6 - 7373ca: update BIOS WANT dv6

  Hello

  After I managed to remove the two "unknown device" - entered the W10 Device Manager clean install thanks to this forum, I tried to upgrade to the BIOSVersion F.2D Rev a dated August 26, 2014 and listed under Windows 8 (sp68425.exe) which, according to the note, HP recommends highly.

  As I was not sure if this update would work under W10, I first tried the method described (HP Notebook PC - updated BIOS) with the opening of the menu equipment Diagnostics UEFI immediately by pressing the ESC key several times, once per second, until the Boot Menu is displayed and then pressing the F2 key. But unfortunately on the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI screen of my ' WANT dv6 - 7373ca "there are only four options (1. Memory test, 2. Hard drive test, 3. Language, 4. Exit) and no option called 'Firmware Management' or 'BIOS '. Because I would have preferred a BIOS update without starting the Windows operating system, is there something I can add this missing option menu Hardware Diagnostics UEFI?

  So I took the chance to run this BIOS file "sp68425.exe" in Windows 10 and everything seemed to work fine except the error message short after the new throw about 1 or 2 seconds that an error has been discovered, which needs to be solved and a percentage that was happening 100% before 10 of Windows start still.

  Now, everything seems to work ok: I can access the BIOS again much easier than the old BIOS dating sometime in 2012, I can boot Windows 10 without any error message longer, I can restore my WindowsImageBackups using the repair-CD as well as well as the SystemRestoreDrive I had both created on Windows 10. And the new BIOS version number and date are displayed under the W10 and also after the start systeminfo pressing keys ESC and F1. Is there anything else I can do to check the correct functioning of the BIOS?

  Concerning

  Seek and you will find what I found, it was supposed to be the latest version of "HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI" (v. 5.9.0.0) I installed immediately on the UEFI System Partition to update the old one in my laptop (c. 1.6.0.0). This provided the desired options '-update BIOS "and"BIOS-Rollback"after pressing the F2 key without having to start Windows or if this does ' t OS start.

  Hey Buddy,

  May I ask why you are trying to update the BIOS? Do you have questions?

  As you probably know updated BIOS is always somewhat risky because it rewrites the ROM module and if anything goes not the ROM module can be destroyed and you are not able to start the computer. So this update should be made only if you have problems with the computer, otherwise forget it please.

  Remember: never touch a running system! ;)

• E531 update the Bios with WIndows 10 installed?

  Is it possible to update the BIOS with 10 Windows installed on E531?

  I don't see W7, W8, and XP

  Yet once, have solved this problem, I thought I would share with others who may have the same or similar issues.

  I was able to update the BIOS on my Windows 10 install with upgrade download BIOS in Windows 8. Simply install as you normally would, and be patient for the machine to install. Installation BIOS itself is a little funky; I saw the screen go completely white for a while without message about progress or anything like that. But ultimately it ends and works well.

• Update the Bios with Windows 7

  I have a compaq presario sr2173wm.  He came originally with windows vista.  I've upgraded to windows 7.  Now, I would like to update my bios.  My problem is that the update of the HP bios has my computer does not work with windows 7.  Anyone have any ideas

  If you're having no problems, it is not really any reason to upgrade a BIOS.  And update BIOS of HP programs only work on plant operating systems (unfortunately), so without hacking of the installer, you will not be able to install the BIOS update unless you are on a computer using a BIOS from HP HP and the factory operating system.  I'm sorry.  But, in a nutshell, a previous post that said better; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  You have problems with the normal operation of your computer?

• Can I update the bios with software for windows vista?

  I have a HP Pavilion a1747c desktop computer and I need to update BIOS for virtualization technology. However the update the BIOS only supports Windows Vista, and I have Windows 7. Can I still updated it somehow?

  Yes, you may be able to extract the actual BIOS file of the installation package compressed and use a flash routine appropriate for flashing BIOS under another operating system, but you do so at your own risk. Any damage to your computer by using this process is at your own risk and you take responsibility for it.

• Updated BIOS (Insyde H20) BACK - Satellite A300-24 X

  Hello

  I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 24 X WITHOUT an operating system preinstalled.

  I'm using Linux and I want to update my BIOS to version 1.8 and 1.9 through a utility BACK/FreeDOS.

  The main problem is that the BIOS flash utility runs only on Windows OS.

  Why Toshiba does not provide the utility flash BACK for those who have bought a laptop without Windows operating system and want to or need to upgrade the BIOS without buy/install the Windows operating system only for these purposes?

  Is it possible to update my BIOS (Insyde H2O) with some flashing BACK?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  You can update the BIOS by using the diskette, but you would need an update of the traditional BIOS.
  But the fact is that ONLY focused on the victory of BIOS is available on the Toshiba page and it can be updated only the execution of a Windows operating system.

  But as far as I know the local ASP (certified partner) in your country could update the BIOS by using a floppy disk.

  So, if you need updated BIOS to day and don t have installed the Microsoft Windows operating system then you will need to contact the guys ASP.

  Good bye
