  Hello

  I'm about to update the BIOS on my computer Toshiba Satellite A30 laptop (Service Pack 3).
  I downloaded the BIOS updated and decided to update the BIOS from Windows such as recommended on the Toshiba site.

  Before upgrading the BIOS level, please do the following:
  -Portable is in stand-alone mode.
  -Laptop is plugged into the mains.
  -Laptop computer must be in boot mode and not recovery mode.
  -Remove all PC cards.

  1 Windows based BIOS update:
  1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
  2. ensure that all open files are saved and all applications are closed.
  3 run the *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen.
  4. the BIOS update will be done automatically.
  5. after a few minutes, the computer will restart automatically.

  I'm not sure of what he means by laptop computer must be in boot mode and not recovery mode

  What is the startup mode and how to fix my laptop in this mode?
  Can't I just run the file downloaded from my office?

• Problems after updating the BIOS on Satellite Pro P200

  I recently buy a Satellite Pro P200 running Windows Vista Business. Yesterday, I updated the BIOS to the version 1.50 supplied with the machine to 1.80 available on the Toshiba site. I double checked that I was using BIOS correct update for the Pro P200 Satellitel running Vista.

  After updating the BIOS, I have now two problems:

  1. whenever I start and join the office, I get an error message "record of Vista has stopped working". This problem has been identified as toshibavistaregistration.exe here: [link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99805]

  2 Control Panel > system now shows the processor and the memory (RAM) as "not available". Execution of the diagnostic PC Toshoba tool and looking at basic information show also no information on the memory (RAM) Although the processor information here. There may be pieces others missing too under the eyes of list shorter than before the update of the BIOS.

  Basically, I want to get everything working again as it should, but cannot find any information on these issues.

  After further review, it appears that the update of the BIOS is not the cause of the problems.

  Immediately after updating the BIOS, I had a major system crash. It turns out that this is what has caused problems.

  After a system restore to a point before the update of the BIOS and the major system crash, now everything is working again with BIOS version 1.8 in place.

• Update the BIOS for Satellite U400-10O required

  Hello world

  I have a SATELLITE U400-10 oC (PSU40E-00R00EG3). It is an old product, but once I always love use regularly.

  Recently, I bought a battery for this device upgrade. Unfortunately, it does not recognize the laptop. The work of the battery, but I don't you all information about the charge level. I tried various tricks 'reset' (removing ACPI Microsoft in the list of the drivers installed, running down the battery completely etc..).

  I think the BIOS might be exceeded and I'd like to update. Unfortunately, the Web of Toshiba site does not list updates for him more. Still, someone has access to updates the BIOS for this?

  The BIOS is a Phoenix currently to version 4.70.

  Hello

  N my BIOS of opinion has nothing to do with it. Battery can be replaced, and if you use compatible batteries they should be recognized correctly. Here is the list of all compatible batteries:
  PA3534U-1BAS/BRS
  1BAS/PA3536U-1BRS
  PA3634U-1BAS/BRS
  PA3635U-1BAM/BRM

  Purchased one of these and original Toshiba product (label Toshiba) or a product without a name?

• Upgrading the Bios on Satellite A30

  Can someone tell me please how can I update my bios apparently Toshiba seem to be wrong. OM my Satellite A30 using XP Pro I started having the blue screen everytime I turn on and he told me that there is something missing or incorrect in the Bios and it must be upgraded. I downloaded the correct update of Toshiba on my desktop Pc and followed the instructions which are

  Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.

  Insert a 1.44 MB diskette formatted in the floppy drive.

  Run the *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen. A BIOS update diskette will be generated.

  Make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector.

  Turn off the laptop.

  Place the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy drive.

  Turn on the laptop with the F12 key.

  The BIOS boot menu appears. Select 'Removable Device', 'USB Floppy Drive' or the diskette symbol using arrow keys. Press "enter".

  Notepad starts from the BIOS upgrade diskette.

  The BIOS update will automatically launch.

  After a few minutes, as the laptop turns off automatically, remove the disk and do a restart. If it does not then remove the disk and turn off the system and return to restart the laptop.

  I did the first parts of the above, but when I try and run the file to a floppy disk on my desktop, the program seems to think that I am trying to upgrade the bios on this machine and of course, I get an error message and am not able to create a floppy disk. Can someone please?

  Hello

  so, this BIOS is a bios "Windows update". This means that the Bios will be updated in windows and not with a floppy disk. I don't know why toshiba is to give such instructions, but I believe that they didn t update since these new BIOS instructions.

  What version of Bios you downloaded? It should be the version 1.80. In the case of this version, just unpack the file in a folder in the zip and run it. They deposit with unzip itself C:\Windows\Temp\Winphlash and run the bios update procedure.

  So, please try again and give me a 'big picture on your situation":)

  OF THE C50 BIOS - UPDATE OF THE SATELLITE SERIES

  ACCORDING TO TOSHIBA STATION

  DO NOT INSTALL

  THAN THE ONE THAT I CHOSE

  Toshiba service station informs you of new updates published on the page of the Toshiba UE driver.

• Failed to update the BIOS on Satellite A500 - 1C0

  I was so stupid and according to Toshiba Tempro advice that I downloaded the latest BIOS update 1.50 - WIN.
  Update stucked at 56%. After hours of no response I've stopped manually.

  Now the nb is dead... only for the power supply and fan works... Is there something that needs to be done?

  I'm afraid you should contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer.
  In the future to pay attention to all this and do not touch the well-executed system.

  I have 3 years old Satellite P200 and it still works with the original version of BIOS.
