• HP ENVY m6-n113dx Notebook PC: update the BIOS F.22A and keyboard

  Hello

  I was hoping that over time someone would have posted something with a similar problem, I have, but its been a while so I guess I would ask and I hope an answer and I hope I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.

  Awhile back, I upgraded my laptop BIOS (HP ENVY Notebook PC m6-n113dx) from F.21A to F.22A, who apperently offers improved performance of the internal keyboard. After the update, nothing seemed very different. However when I play a game and press a key on the keyboard, the charater would sometimes get stuck on this action of the key as if she was held down. Usually, I just press the button again to stop this action, although this has become an embarrassment.

  I've been reading the forums and found a lot of options for apperently decommissioning of your BIOS to earlier versions, but I would like to know where I can find a how to or may downgrade my BIOS of F.22A to F.21A, especially for my laptop.

  Thanks in advance

• Satellite P100 PSPAD: could not update the BIOS 3.8 and a poor video performance

  Hello

  I have a video performance of bad quality on my machine as well as the fan power of the issues.

  To add to my frustration the WinPhlash program included in the BIOS version 3.8 empty out trying to flash which gives a PHLASHNT. SYS failed to load the message with different error codes (codes 5 and 147 depending if I launch the exe, as it is extracted from the ZIP, or run the files extracted independently).

  I checked all permissionings on the record and I definitely full control - but still a generic message of "check your accounts, if you do not have permissions please log in again!" is displayed.

  help with my problem of BIOS would be apreciated.

• 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...

  You cannot update the BIOS under Linux and using a victory based version of the BIOS.
  You will need to use the image of preinstalled Toshiba.

• HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX: updated the BIOS F.29 don't switch HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX Ati graphics card

  Hello

  I have HP Pavilion DV6 3122TX and recently I was updating my drivers and software from the HP Web site for my laptop. Everything was done smoothly. As I updated my BIOS, I noticed that I was not able to switch between ATI Radeon 5650 and Intel HD Graphics, then I was also shocked that he wasn't showing a charger plugged into icon too. Although the battery was charging but didn't show any icon for it. I am running Windows 7. After a few days, my battery was went wrong and was not in charge. I bought the new battery from HP Store for my laptop, and then after a few days now he is dying too. My computer laptop suddenly stops on about 30% of battery remaining and battery does not charge. I arranged another charger and plugged, but once more. I gave the laptop to the service center local and got NO from them as well. They couldn't find the problem. After a lot of research and reading messages HP, I finally understood that it was the problem with the BIOS Update and Windows 7. So, out of curiosity, I installed Linux RedHat 6 on windows 7 and everything was OK. But I am a graphic designer for Linux is not a good choice for me. I want to just restore my BIOS in its original version of the default BIOS. Please kindly help me to get my original BIOS. I tried everything on my hand. I also ask HP to the original versions of the drivers like BIOS on its Internet site. My laptop is dying. Please, Experts, I need your kind assisstence. Thanks in advance

  @AbdulRaheem25

  Create the key USB HP Diagnostics of material 3-in-1 PC and boot to it.

  If you updated the BIOS from the old version will still be in a folder of your operating system. Use the method I proposed to get it back.

  If you are unable to read the instructions on the web page of Diagnostics of material for the HP PC, then I suggest that you pay someone to do it and create the flash drive for you.

• Is it possible to update the BIOS for the Satellite A110 (PSAB0) and Windows7?

  Hi all

  I recently installed Windows 7 on Toshiba Satellite A110 (PSAB0).
  The version of the system BIOS is v1.30
  I want to Flash the BIOS for you last version v2.0.
  This version is released in January 2009, before the introduction of Windows 7.

  There are two versions of the BIOS download, one "for Vista only' and one 'OS independent.
  I think I have to go to the operating system independent.
  Link: [update BIOS | http://www.toshiba.nl/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EN&selCategory = 8 & selFamily = 192 & selSeries = 236 & selProduct = 661 & STAS hortMod = 478 & language = 1 = 12 & selOS & selType = 4 & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & we eDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 24 & selectedLanguage = 12 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 66230 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

  Independent of the OS has warning: + "this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!" + "

  So here's my question: this BIOS version is compatible with Windows 7?

  Thank you very much!!

  AJ.

  Hello

  I think that this BIOS (v2.0) is not released for Windows 7 and that it has also not been tested with Windows 7. This BIOS has published 21.01.2009 and Windows 7 was released on July 22, 2009. However, on the other hand it s not mentioned that this BIOS is not compatible with Win 7.

  But the fact is that only Windows 7 doesn't is NOT supported on this laptop.

  Windows 7 drivers are not out on Sat A110, but this does not mean that you couldn't install Win 7 on this device. Of course, you can install the Win 7 system, but Toshiba does not provide any Win 7 software for this series.

  Back to BIOS update:
  In your case I would try not to update the BIOS if the laptop works properly.
  Why? Because the update of the BIOS is still a technique sensitive and you could damage it the motherboard if something goes wrong during the update of the BIOS.

• ProBook G3 450: I've updated the bios on my g3 Probook 450 and now potrs usb do not work

  I've updated the bios and after restarting the pc no usb port work and the usb serial bus is not listed in Device Manager. I have not received any error.

  Hi Richrob,

  Usually after the BIOS updates I recommend restoring the default BIOS because some parameters may change or managed power States must be refreshed. If you start at the F10 menu there will be a restoration of the default BIOS on the home page.

  If the USB bus does not return to the top after restoring default values, try to reinstall the USB driver. You can find the latest version for Windows 7 here.

• Satellite L450-188 - how to disable ACPI.sys and update the BIOS?

  Hi, hoping someone can help me with a slight problem, I'll have

  I recently bought a Satellite L450-188 (number PSLY0E-03K019EN) running under Windows 7 64-bit

  I use the laptop with a DJ program called Rane Serato Scratch Live, I got latency usb problems, getting usb dropouts when I try to use the program on the smallest audio buffer position (which I expect to be able to do)

  When I contacted support at Serato team with my problem, they suggested that I run a program to check the time DPC on my laptop, when I presented the report to them, they said ACPI.sys was the origin of the problem and suggested that interest me to turn it off, but I wasn't too comfortable with that.

  The other suggestion was to try to find updates the bios for my laptop, but I'm not too set up with that sort of thing, and I'm worried I might damage the laptop maybe installing the wrong thing.

  Can someone give me advice on this topic, because I don't know what to do

  Thank you
  Jim

  Hi jimbob_1,

  Normally the ACPI means Advanced Configuration and Power Interface and control options for energy savings.
  So if something is wrong with the ACPI.sys file I recommend reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disc.
  By the way: are you running pre-installed Windows version or another?

  As Akuma writes that you can download the BIOS update from Toshiba Web site. http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/ > support & downloads > download drivers

  Your laptop belongs to the series of PSLY0E, so you can download latest BIOS.

  Before you begin the BIOS update, close all running programs and extract all the files from zip archive. You start the update as an administrator and connect the AC adapter. Also, make sure that the battery is fully charged.

• Satellite A210 - 16G (PSAELE) - how to use 4 GB and update the BIOS?

  Hello! I hope someone can answer a few questions for me.

  First of all is: How can I turn on my laptop to use all the 4 GB of RAM? OS is Win Vista Ultimate 32-bit with Service Pack 2. Now Vista all show the 4 GB of RAM, but don't use it. I activated the EAP in Vista, but still nothing. As I saw, I need to turn it on too memory remapping in BIOS but there is no option (my BIOS is ver.1.70).

  The second question relates to the BIOS. Because my version is 1.70 and there are more recent version 2.00; I get benefits if I update to BIOS? Someone has updated to version 2.00? And there are more options in the BIOS after update to version 2.00 (for example the memory remapping or a similar option)?
  I'm a little afraid to update BIOS, because sometimes my Toshiba freezes, and I would not hang during the update of the BIOS.

  And the final question is there any changelog to the BIOS? So I can see what is added and changed, and what's new in the new version of the BIOS. Because I could not find anywhere.

  Thanks for the responses to come.

  Hello!

  (1) you can use the entire 4 GB of RAM on a 32 bit OS. It is a due limitation of 32-bit technology. Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 may recognize the full 4 GB of RAM but not use it, more than 3.2 g.
  Here you can find more information about this limitation:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

  (2) about BIOS updated I can tell only must be made only if you have problems with the laptop. A BIOS update should never be done just for fun, because it of still a little risky. In the worst case, you can destroy the ROM module or complete motherboard.
  Update the BIOS doesn't normally contain new features or options. It s bug just setting. In addition it can t solve the problem with 4 GB of RAM and Vista 32 bit if you think that ;)
  If your laptop does not have 100% stable you shouldn't t update because it s too risky. Before the update, you should try to solve the problem of gel.

  (3) If a change log is available you can find it on the Toshiba site. If you can t find, there isn t available.
  That s all about this.

  I hope I could help a bit.

  Good bye

• Time to update the BIOS and firmware of remote management?

  I'll put up a 'new' ThinkServer RD630 (2954A6U). It was purchased for a project that never happened, and we are now dry and reuse to replace an old Office Server. The current firmware versions are:

  • BIOS: 2.05
  • ME: 2.1.5.73
  • BMC 1.7
  • IPMI 2.0

  Page 61 of the User Guide ThinkServer says, "update the BIOS on your server only if the new BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. We don't recommend updates to the BIOS for servers that do not need. [...]"

  As far as I know, we have no problems. The system starts fine and runs Windows Server 2012 well enough.

  HERE'S MY QUESTION:

  Should I update the BIOS and firmware IMM (remote management) to the current version? Are there hidden problems, security issues or other concerns that it is worth?

  Other indicators of initial configuration that you can share with a new admin would be much appreciated, too! Thank you.

  With the help of the Lenovo Support, I was able to fix my problem where I couldn't get to the menu of the BIOS of the 630 RD (in F1) and all I saw was a cursor on the screen. I describe the procedure in detail here:

  https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/ThinkServer-rack-mounted/BIOS-settings-blank-with-cursor-after-BIOS-UPD...

  Thank you to all those who commented above and especially to those who have sent me suggestions via PMs.

• Satellite A60-106: Question about updating the BIOS and the BIOS Flash

  Fact the BIOS Flash update the BIOS or that requires a different file. I've updated a Satellite A60 BIOS to 1.9 but am not sure if cela flashed the BIOS as well.

  If this isn't the case, where I could get a file to Flash BIOS for satellite A60-106?

  Hello

  Sorry, but you question is a bit confusing.
  The update of the BIOS flashing the ROM module I put t know which version is installed before upgrading the BIOS, but if after the upgrade, a new version of the BIOS appears then the procedure was a success.

  The good BIOS and how to upgrade the BIOS information you will find on the page of Toshiba.

• Update the BIOS and system health report question

  I have two questions to ask you.

  1. I just bought a Quad DV6T-7000 a month ago. I'm unable to create a report of health system through the control panel > performance & information > advanced tools > generate system health report.  I get an error saying "cannot run" with no other information. It apparently came from HP in this way. Something has been corrupted? I have configured my laptop the way I like it and have installed all programs and applications of my previous laptop, so I hope that I don't need to do an installation of windows 7 to fix this. It is not really important. But it should work.

  2 HP Support Assistant automatically installs updates to bios, or is it something that has to be done manually? I am currently set to auto critical or important updates. There is an update of the bios (f.22 I think) available for my Pavilion DV6T - 7000 Quad Edition, however, I am wary to update my bios given the many problems that people have after doing an update their bios.  So far, HP support Assistant has not notified me of the update and I have problems with the problems it addresses. Should I be worried?

  Thank you, appreciate your making this feature expert day!

The files of your operating system will be inspected and the files that are supposed to be corrupted or damaged will be replaced with fresh copies of the repository own Windows file.  If this does not resolve the problem, then I suggest that you run Windows update. There may be an update that resolves this problem

  Does your laptop have a UEFI environment.  This in fact safe update the BIOS if you decide to do.

   

  You can set the HP Support Assistant to install updates or to notify you when updates are available.

  I recommend that you do not set automatically update anything. My preference is that the Windows operating system and the laptop / desktop only doing what I want to do and when I want them to... That way I don't get surprises not unexpected and mysterious death blue screens or black screens.

• update the BIOS of motherboard for HP Pavilion M7570n and now my computer going in circles

  I have a HP Pavilion - XP or version of the original software m7570n!

  Motherboard is HP/Compaq name: Leucite-UL8E

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00714544

  I downloaded and installed from HP website: update the BIOS of motherboard P5LP - THE

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=PV-54482-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&...

  Now my computer boots into a circle.  It begins... window XP blink... I can see a quick blue screen and some info, but too fast to read... then at startup mode without failure, etc, etc, etc! Each option piced it goes back to the circle of frustration.

  I entered F1 and set it for return to the settings by default, but who has not set.  I see several suggestions to pull CMOS jumpers, but fear just start riders pulling and causing damage.

  Someone can give me a step by step repair to understand where and how update BIOS software... is so simple that all reinstall the same file again?  I have the origianl file downloaded on my USB key.  I'm not comfortable with moving forward in fear of more damage!

  THANKS FOR ANY HELP IN ADVANCE!

  TIM

  NOW FOR THE FINAL SOLUTION:

  Google is my - so true!  I did google how to reflash the BIOs, but I kept? How I was going to do when I've never seen a 'USB key' as an option in the BIOs boot sequence.  I then looked to do the 'flash' of a CD - with the boot BACK on it, files but everywhere I read on line discussing this method - said most flash programs require you to save first the old BIOs files - you can't do from the BACK / BIO Flash or at least I haven't found a way to BACK startup disk!

  NOW, I'M TOTALLY FRUSTRATED!  Now what should I do?  I knew that the 'blue screen of death"contained the error message that I need to know! I just need to read it, but I couldn't because it flashes in a fraction of a second? GRRRRRRRRRR

  WELL!  I grabbed my digital camera Sony - put on 'SPEED' shot!  I started the computer and kept shooting until I captured the screen!  The error message was "0x0000007B"!

  I googled the error message and found this site:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/stop0x0000007b.htm

  I have read on the list of options and decided that the setting in the BIOs should be where I wanted to start.  I changed the setting for the "RAID" to FDI HHD... BINGO!  I'm back in the game!

  SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT FOR FUTURE TECH SUPPORT QUESTIONS!
