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.

  • update BIOS with freedos

    I have an Elite 7000 MT running linux.  Is it possible to update the BIOS with FreeDOS?  According to this link http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=4025606&...the sp48334.exe that contains a file AFUWIN.exe and Flash.bat should work with FreeDOS.  However, when I run it from a USB bootable with FreeDOS, I get the message "Cannot run this program in DOS mode."  It seems that AFUWIN.exe is not intended for the BACK, so this is a mistake that HP says it should work with FreeDOS?  Seems rather, I need AFUDOS.

    Thank you.

    Great idea!  It worked.  Thanks for the suggestion.

  • 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?

    Hello

    I ask myself why Toshiba is expected to publish a bad BIOS?  :|
    It makes no sense to me, you can find a lot of people with a Satellite A100 and as far as I know nobody had and problem with 5 BIOS update, 9 - Win for A100 PSAA8
    So I guess you did something wrong.

    However, according to the European Toshiba 6.0win driver Bios page is available at this time and should work fine

    But I have an important question; Why do you want to update the BIOS?
    Is there something wrong with your laptop?
    If not, then the update of the BIOS is not necessary and as you already know an update of the BIOS is ALWAYS risky ;)

    take care of the GUY

    Thanks for your advice!

    Hello

    In your case I would uninstall the Realtek LAN driver.
    Can I visit the Realtek and download and reinstall the latest LAN driver.

    In addition, in the DOS command window, you can try to run this command:
    * Ipconfig / renew *.

    PS: Try to also set the default BIOS too.

    Unfortunately my friend... bad news... in your case something went wrong during the update procedure. Update the BIOS is always risky.

  • 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.

  • Satellite L750-201 - problem with update of the BIOS - preparation for Win 8

    I have a L750-201 and is eligible for Windows 8. Currently Windows 7.
    I thought that I would update to the BIOS (latest version 2.6) in the latest version (3.6), which has some relevant changes to Windows 8, I understand.

    I have downloaded the BIOS update file and run. I had several options. One of them was to make the update of Windows, and another was to create a boot CD to do at STARTUP.
    I created the CD and rebooted the machine with it. Everything seemed fine, but when the time came to Flash the bios I got the message about the battery must be greater than 10% and the power adapter is connected. If the BIOS update has refused to start.

    The problem is the battery was 100% or almost that I had just fully charged it. The power adapter is and powered. So whence the utility to update the BIOS get his info that the dough was less than 10%?
    I saw similar posts from other people, but the problem was usually that the battery was in fact less than 10% and that it was not charging. This isn't the case here.

    No matter, I thought, I can update the other sense through the windows.
    So I started the machine and took the Windows Flash utility. The system gave me the warning usual as planned and then rebooted the machine. He went directly in windows with the "Welcome" splash screen, and then stopped a few moments, then went to a black screen with just the pointer in the middle. I assumed it was something like the fairly active enjoy car light. However, after an age, nothing was. I could go back to the login screen by pressing the power button / standby machine and then turning it back on. My user has been locked, but I could shut down the computer and restart normally. Nothing serious happened. The machine starts very well and Windows does not normally, but BIOS remains unchanged.

    Anyone have any idea how to get the update of the BIOS to work? Seems I have to bypass the battery check or why BIOS thinks a battery of 100% is less than 10%.

    I have a L750-201 and is eligible for Windows 8. Currently Windows 7.
    I thought that I would update to the BIOS (latest version 2.6) in the latest version (3.6), which has some relevant changes to Windows 8, I understand.

    L750-201 satellite is part of the PSK6ME series.
    I wonder where you found the BIOS v3.60 for this device?
    The latest version of the BIOS seems to be v 2.80 - WIN

    So from my point of view you try update BIOS INCORRECT.

    Hi all

    I am installing the update of the BIOS 1, 70-WIN of 09/12/12, delivered in a folder called "bios-20120907140253', unsuccessfully zip.

    Whenever I run the .exe file, I get "this computer is not supported" returned in BIOS Toshiba package Ver.4.2.1 window.

    Software from Toshiba Tempro advised me to install this BIOS update.

    Is that what someone else has this problem, and is there a solution?

    Thank you

    In my opinion, you need not update the BIOS, even if the new BIOS has been updated.
    I have a laptop works perfectly with the old BIOS and I don't have day to a newer version, even if the new updated released

    However, I found really interesting thread with a solution:

  • Satellite L750 - BIOS update failed with error check

    Update the BIOS to the L750 failled with an ERROR "CHECK". I downloaded the update to the BIOS again and got the same error.

    I wanted to submit a support ticket to do support technical namely that the BIOS update does not work, but low and behold, the creator of support ticket does not accept my model number/number combination.

    Thus, apart from picking up the phone, how can I get a message to Toshiba?

    See you soon

    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.
