Update the BIOS advise please
Hello
I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9360f 64bits. It is now a little more than three years. I saw that there was a recent update of the BIOS since August 2010 and I would like to know if it would be to my advantage to download and install it. The reason is because of the following: 'The system thermal performance enhances' 'updates fan curve for support processer', there are other things listed also.
Please advise me please. Thank you.
Never update a bios unless it's to solve a critical problem that cannot be resolved otherwise. If a bios update fails for any reason, you will have a PC that is not useless and costly to repair.
If you do not experience any of the following problems, then I say do not do
- Improving the thermal performance of the system. (You need monitor time processor to determine if you have a heat problem)
- Fan curve updates for support of the processor. (You don't need this except if you upgrade the processor)
- Answer to the question with the system seems to hang when restarting if a HP Personal Media Drive is connected.
- Resolves issue with the system suspended when 7 GB of RAM is installed.
- Update Diagnostic tools hardware v4880.05.

Impossible to update the BIOS on my Satellite A660
Hello, guys!
When I try to update the BIOS on my laptop in version 2.3 (latest version 1.6) I get the message "install UEFI winflash 0.02:+ The program will be closed! +
+ There is an error occurred, please check below Articles. +
+ The BIOS above 230 version. +
+ More than 20% of battery capacity. +
+ Is attached AC. +The conditions of the first and the last are rooms but the second is not because the battery is dead (always 0% charged). Is there another way to update the BIOS?
Thank you!Post edited by: al_3
No, there is no other update BIOS because victory BIOS update version is available on the Toshiba driver website.
I guess you need good work and battery charge in order to update the BIOS.
But why you want to update the BIOS? Is something wrong with the laptop?
The update of the BIOS is a very serious update and must be done very carefully

Update the BIOS - protected A600 problem
I'm trying to update my BIOS settings on my laptop (that I was invited to do by the service of Toshiba hardware update).
I followed all the instructions provided by the program because it extracted and ran the update. However, the computer began the reboot process, but has been 'disconnected' windows (Vista Business) for about an hour now. I don't know how to stop the process without causing serious damage to my BIOS, but this does not seem normal.
Help, please!
Hi wilreb...
I think that the user henharas a bad experience with the BIOS updates.
I updated the BIOS many times and never had any problems...I assume you mean on Tempro software... this software informs you about updates on the Toshiba page. It is not a recommendation for an update, but simply an alert that new updates has been published...
If your laptop is running properly, then update the BIOS is not really necessary...
You must follow these tips; never change a running system ;)In any case, after the update of the BIOS shouldn't take too long and if she has completed, you should see the new version in the BIOS settings...
Check it out...

Portege R100: Try to update the BIOS of 1.20 to 1.60
Hello
I have a Toshiba R100 and try to update the BIOS of 1.20 to 1.60. However, I just get 'different ROM version' when I run the update.
The model number on the bottom is P2010 - this is slightly different from a R100? If Yes, where can I get a BIOS update?
Thank you
Hello
Well, I found the BIOS version 1.6 of 30.9.05 on the Toshiba driver page.
This version should work properly.
I guess you tried to upgrade the BIOS with the win version. Please consult this document:

Update the BIOS on a Tecra M5 - 386 when the battery is not recogised.
My battery is not seen by my Tecra M5, but still fresh and feeds the laptop, I found info that offers as well as an upgrade of the BIOS might help, but the software update me gives an error message "[error] AC adapter is not connected, or battery power is not enough." How can I update the BIOS by bypassing the software security device? Told me on another forum that execution of the update .exe with /forceit BIOS in the CMD window that did not work. Can anyone help please.
In most cases, the update of the BIOS does not solve battery problems
Maybe the battery starts to malfunction because of age.I would recommend replacing the battery first!
By the way; I guess the while the update of the BIOS error because of the software required missing; If you are using Win XP, then you must install page European driver of Toshiba common Modules. If you are using Windows 7 you must install VAP (value added package)

Question of updating the BIOS for Qosmio F50 - 10 k

+ (BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. This program is stored in a chip memory dead on the motherboard. +
"+ When the computer turns on, the BIOS is launched to perform various functions to start). ++ For detailed updated information, please refer to Toshiba-setting to update BIOS Information +.
+ Toshiba - 2.00 - WIN32 Qosmio F50 +.
It will work on toshiba F50 - 10 k, Windows xp, sp 3?
[Notebook-> Qosmio-Qosmio series > F-> Qosmio F50 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=EU]
Post edited by: kirekk
Qosmio F50 - 10 k belongs to the series of PQF55E.
If you want to update the BIOS, you will need to use the BIOS exactly for the F50 PQF55E series.The European driver Toshiba page provides BIOS for Vista 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
But this does not mean that you cannot use the Win XPI think you can use the Win XP but the fact is that the BIOS has been optimized for Vista and not XP
The BIOS update should work also on XP, but in some rare cases the update cannot be performed and in this case, you will need to the Toshiba preinstalled the operating system in order to update the BIOS

HP 15 J9M32UA #ABA: update the BIOS
HP Support Assistant lists an update to the system BIOS (Softpaq # SP76361, version F.28AP1). I downloaded and installed and restarted when prompted. No sign of defect to install-, BUT support Assistant continues to display a message that the update is available, and the Action log does not appear to be the update of the BIOS listed.
MSInfo.exe displays the Version of the BIOS/Date as: Insyde F.28, 14/06/2016.Have I updated the BIOS? If so, how can I do the instigation of shutdown Support Assistant to update? If this is not the case, why have I not a failure message when I tried to update.
Thank you
Elaine
Hi @E591,
Thanks for posting HP forums!
I read your post and wanted to help. I understand that there is a notification to update the BIOS on your HP Support Assistant and you attempted to perform the update, but she came back after restarting the laptop.
It is not necessary to update the BIOS if the system is running right. You can reject the message of the HP Support assistant by clicking on the 'X' next to the update or message.
Let me know if you need more assistance.
If this post helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "Accept as Solution" down below in this message. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me congratulations.

Hello Daniel,.
I'm a little confused about your message from Mr.
What do you mean with half of the bios is enough?
What s wrong with the BIOS?The support from Toshiba said-> try a BIOS update.
On the Toshiba page, you can download the BIOS for Satellite A40.It seems you didn't check the download page detailed because on this page you will find this statement:
IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07The update of the BIOS has been detailed described in this document and that you follow these guidelines for the update of the BIOS.

Can I ask why you want to update the BIOS?
You have problems?
If the laptop works well the update of the BIOS is not necessary! My laptop is about 6 years old and I have no day BIOS!However, I think that you didn't use the right update procedure.

Update the BIOS on a Portege 3490
Hello
I recently bought two used portege 3490CT portable, both with BIOS version 1.60. I tried to upgrade to Version 1.90 with a USB-floppy drive, but it does not accept floppies. Theres no disk access when I press a key after the bios update message.
Also booting from that floppy USB does not work. Is this a problem related to this specific USB floppy drive (it's a NEC)? Is there any other procedure updating the BIOS?
Thank you!
ThomasHello Thomas
I don't know, but I guess that your device has no legacy USB support and, as far as I know, you can do it by using original Toshiba FDD. Check your BIOS settings please.
I'm sure that you will not be able to do the BIOS update using your floppy drive.
Good bye

Portege 3500: missing system32 - update the BIOS?
Hello world
I got a Portege 3500 PIII-M 1.33 GHz, which has been infected by a virus. I tried to reinstall Windows Xp, but the SYSTEM32 file is missing or damaged.
I downloaded the BIOS driver and tried to install it via an external CD drive, but it did not work.
Could you please help me at all?
I am very concerned about the situationCan't wait to hear from you
Thank you
Davide
Hello
I can t believe that the virus may damage the BIOS!
I think that you have updated the BIOS with the wrong procedure.
Have you checked the BIOS update document?In any case, the fault of system32 has nothing to do with the BIOS and I don t understand why you started the update of the BIOS.
The Portege 3500 does not support an internal hard drive, and so if you want to install the operating system, you must use a compatible external PC card reader.
I assume you are using this player to start.If some error messages appear during the installation, you must first format the whole HARD drive and delete all partitions and then try again to boot from the recovery CD!

Tecra A2: brightness F6 Fn + F7 does not work after updating the BIOS of the screen
Update bios to 1.40 VICTORY at end of January. Since the failure of keys F6 & F7 then to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen. Is it a coincidence or is that updating the bios the culprit! ??
Hello
Usually, the update of the BIOS shouldn't have a bad influence on the drivers of Toshiba and the performance of the operating system.
There must be another reason the FN key down.Initially, I would say to reinstall the common modules. Please check if this will help.
