Update the BIOS - protected A600 problem

• Updating the BIOS causing system problem...

  Hello

  I recently had a very bad experience with my hp pavilion g 1201 tx. I though that I should share it with everyone.

  The problem started with an update of the Bios that was available with the help of HP support. He showed me there is an update available for my laptop BIOS (I was happy ) on this subject and has allowed the update run. After the update, that my heart stopped beating (even if it wasn't a heart attack) my laptop stopped functioning, it crashes after 3-4 minutes.

  After 5 days of research and hundreds of tips, I came to the conclusion that the update of the BIOS could go wrong. The update of the BIOS version was F.52 (-supports the nVidia GeForce GT 520 M graphics controller card). But my laptop has a Radeon graphics card.

  I downloaded the version of BIOS F.41 (supports 7450 AMD Radeon graphics M controller) of the previous version on the software's Web site and download drivers. It took about 30 minutes to install (the screen freezes) I gave up and hand over power.

  Put my fingers crossed I switched it on and Hooray! his work, my laptop does not freeze now...

  A suggestion to the team of hp. Please check the software before making it available to the public (updates should be available for the right products).

  I can see the version of BIOS F.52 software on my laptop still available for Pavilion g 1201 tx on your Internet site and through hp support assistance.

  If my interpretation is wrong on both versions, please correct me.

  Thank you

  When they say "adds" support for... It simply means that it is added to this graphics card, but they don't remove it to earlier maps. Don't know what went wrong with F52 install.

  Never update a bios unless it's to solve a problem that cannot be resolved otherwise. F52 update was not necessary for your model. It's the only thing I don't like about HP Support Assistant.

  The reason why they add support for things is HP hardware changes on new laptops from the same series model and have to add support for it in the bios, they do not want to break support for older hardware, but sometimes they do.

• Update the Bios to F1 problem. C the HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook (QJ785AV #ABA) running Win7 (64)

  To try to resolve some problems, that I pointed out, HP (by e-mail) Technical Support told me to update my bios and provided a link to do this. Utility Wizard help indicated 1F. B has been installed; the description accompanying the linked file is 1F.C.

  I downloaded the file, closed other programs, then run the file using administrator mode. After a few moments, the PC restarted. When I checked then the theaters help, there still reported that 1F. B has been installed. I ran the executable file again and seen on screen for messages. There is no error message. The system restarted, however the Assistant to help still reports it as 1F.B.

  I don't know if it's important but: Although this update of the Bios on the support page of the HP web site for my computer model, it does not appear as an action item when executing Tune Up from HP.

  Should what steps I take in order to successfully install the newer version of the Bios?

  [Since this is an obvious question, let me say: I have reported what happened to the HP support (by e-mail).] In their next response, there was no follow-up on this point. In my next response, I asked specifically this update failure, but their response has completely ignored the problem.]

  This is the link of BIOS that you use correct: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-115758-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=5171043&sw_lang=

  If so, try the device, then execution of the BIOS updated new cyclical food.  Cycle of power, just remove the battery and the AC adapter / CC and let rest for a minute, then reinsert the battery and the AC adapter / CC and turn on.

• Satellite L40 - 14 d: can't update the BIOS

  Hello

  I have laptop Satellite L40 - 14 d.
  Two months ago, I Flash my BIOS to version 5.40 successfully. But now, if I run updatebios.bat (5.50), the system will reboot, but after 1 second laptop each stop. We did update the BIOS. I tried many version of BIOS for my laptop, but without success.

  I have Windows XP installed.
  PS: sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Czech Republic.
  Thanks for any response.

  Hello

  First of all I ve an interesting question;
  Why do you want to update the BIOS? Various problems with the laptop?
  Usually if the laptop run without problem then a BIOS update is not necessary

  However, I downloaded the BIOS and first firs winflash.exe file package, I noticed!

  First you must uncompress the BIOS correctly.
  Then prepare the laptop for the update (AC adapter connected, don t run 3rd party applications and disconnect all external devices).
  Finally, you must run the winflash.exe to start the update of the BIOS and NOT the .bat file!

  Good bye

• 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.

• Question of updating the BIOS of the Tecra M10

  Hello

  I own a Tecra M10-10 q (abbreviated model: PTMB1E)
  I received a few days ago an automatic alert of Toshiba TEMPRO to inform a new BIOS driver.

  After downloading and extracting the .zip file, I launched the executable: P0065v190.exe
  Asked me to confirm that I want to date of current version BIOS BIOS package version 1.90 1.50

  When I click on 'Yes', I got a popup window titled: "TOSHIBA BIOS Package version 3.2.9!
  with between other precautions, the following statement:
  "Disable BitLocker Drive Encryption in Windows Vista before updating the BIOS"

  A google search on what is "BitLocker Drive Encryption" and how to disable it, informs that it is under the heading 'Security' in the control panel.
  However, I can't find anything like "BitLocker", when I click on 'Security' in the Panel!

  So, I cancelled the update procedure. But I like to keep my system uptodate!
  What should I do? Where to find the BitLocker? How to make a such BIOS update?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Windows Bit locker drive BitLocker is a data protection feature that is available ONLY in Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Server 2008.

  If you don t have one of these versions of Vista, then a Bilocker is NOT available on your preinstalled system!

  With regard to the update of the BIOS;
  I'm always that notice; never change a running system; so, if the laptop works properly and without problem a BIOS update is not necessary that s my personal opinion

• Yet WT8 - after that updating the BIOS 1.6 screen is too bright

  After the update the BIOS to version 1.6, as even the lowest setting of the screen is bright when using the device in a dark environment (e.g. reading in bed). Before the update, I simply set the brightness slider Windows at the lowest level and everything was fine but now it is so brilliant that he hurt the eyes.

  Anyone else with this problem? Is there a solution?

  * Brightness * level is a function of * EC version * (on-board controller).

  There are variants _Two in units shipped: __

  THIS 1.10 + and +-bios 1.20
  THIS 1.20 + and +-bios 1.20

  _After bios upgrade: _

  THIS 1.20 + and +-bios 1.60

  EC 1.10 was 1.20 lower brightness level, 1.10 is so much better in the dark situation, * ask * Toshiba * Europe * to solve this problem.

• Portege R830/PT321E: update the Bios stops with "year error occurred while...» »

  Portege R830/PT321E: update Bios end with ' year error occurred while preparing the environment of update...» »

  Following message appears first

  BIOS version: Worm. current 3.40-> update version 3.70
  THIS Version: worm. current 1.30-> update version 1.50
  BIOS and THIS should be updated

  During BIOS update seems following message:

  + An error occurred during the preparation of the updated environment. You have not given permission to run the update. +

  My settings:
  -BitLocker is turned off.
  -No connection to a docking station
  -Windows 7 is installed
  -Boot mode is enabled? I guess that means:
  "Close all open programs, shut down windows and then turns off your computer."

  Any idea what is the problem?

  Hi ML

  Stupid question maybe now but why do you want to update the BIOS on this, I think, fairly new laptop model?
  Have you noticed a few issues or hardware issues?

• Updating the BIOS is dead the satellite Pro P300-1AY

  Hi all

  found this forum and really hoping that he can help me!
  I bought a satellite Pro P300-1AY two years ago, it cost me £900 nr so I thought it would be worthy of a purchase.

  A year ago the USBs stopped working, I do it every working solution I could think of anything will do, finally gave up and learned to live without USBs!

  However, a few weeks ago, the laptop at the start stop, I didn't get was the black screen. Probably a video problem I did all the memory check hard drive everything else, however, it was only an intermittent problem, I found if I he tilted on the side she would begin, another thing to live with!

  But two days ago, I heard that if I've updated the BIOS, it could solve all my problems. so I went to the Toshiba site, found the BIOS updated and downloaded, but to halfway through the installation, the laptop froze and I couldn't t he put it off and had to take the battery out to turn it off!

  And ve you may have guessed, he's now won t start. Even its worst, LED lights, and if I put a disc in the cd I can hear it whirring, but that s it.

  Is - this irreparable? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?
  Ty for your time in reading :)

  Hello

  > Is it irretrievably? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?

  Well, usually the BIOS could once again be reflashed, but you would need a traditional version of the BIOS update.
  This version is available for Toshiba FSA.

  So you will need to get in touch with a local ASP technician that could reflash the Rom BIOS module.
  Eventually, after this update the specifications would be stable.

  Good luck

• How do I update the BIOS on the Tecra R940?

  Are there instructions for BIOS update for my Tecra R940/Win7Pro/64 bit?
  Thank you
  AB - Oz

  On the BIOS Toshiba download page you can download the version of WIN. This means once downloaded BIOS, you must run it under Windows running as all other applications.
  By the way: is there a reason to update the BIOS? Have you noticed any problems with your machine?

• HP Omen: update the BIOS

  HP support assistant shows that there is the following update:

  HP notebook System BIOS update
  Number SoftPaq SP74378
  version F.34Ap1

  should I worry?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  No, no need to worry.

  Updated the BIOS/UEFI is not a critical task and I would say that you leave like this for now.

  General recommendation I provided to users/customers is NOT to upgrade the BIOS/UEFI, unless they live any sort of BIOS/UEFI problem specific. Just for updaing and update just for the use of the latest verson is not the solution. Any type of update (no matter what and that relesed it) can solve 2 problems but can introduce more than 10 questions. In addition, upgrading the BIOS (for any provider) are risky more because the BIOS recovery is not that easy compared to updates of typical software IF something goes wrong.

  Update/update IF you have any specific questions that you know have been fixed in the new version or for some serious security issues. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.

  See you soon!

• Satellite M60 - cannot access the HARD disk but update the BIOS

  Hello

  I want to update the bios on a Satellite M60
  the problem is that I can't access either on my hard drive it still reboot

  So, first I want to try to update my Bios but as I can't work with windos XP I need to do it with a Dos command.

  is there any solution for this?

  Thank you very much

  and why you want to update the BIOS?

  Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop should work well and should start the Windows operating system.
  This means that the problem with your laptop is unrelated to the old version of the BIOS.

  Have you tried to check the HARD drive or to reinstall Win XP?

• Portege R700 - cannot update the BIOS

  Hello
  I recently bought a Portege R700 19 M and I downloaded the latest BIOS version available in the Toshiba support page and when I run the .exe file, it does not work with this message: "the computer is not supported.
  And when I look in the HWSetup Toshiba tool, it does not display the BIOS version but some weird characters (letters not usual) so I can't find out which version is installed.
  Thank you for your help

  Hey Buddy,

  You update the BIOS to the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?
  Are you logged on as administrator when you try the update?

  To be honest I doubt a problem to update the BIOS because I found other threads where users report that BIOS update was successful.

• Satellite L500-1XC - error while updating the BIOS

  Hi, just download the most recent update BIOS but there is an error everytime I try to update to come... "uefi bios winflash over 210 ac of 10% battery attached"

  Connected AC and battery not charging but tried to leave and remove too. Current bios 1.60
  I tried to find a BIOS flash utility but no permits. BIOS default loaded and tried in safe mode too.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  I think that's the problem because the battery is not completely charged so you can't update the BIOS. Can you charge the battery when the laptop is turned off? I mean you can see the battery LED and if the battery is charged it changes the color of the orange in white or green (it s mentioned in the user manual). Can you confirm this?

  On the other side, it would be interesting to know why the BIOS update is important to you. Problems with the computer? If it is not updated the BIOS isn't important, you can forget it. Never touch a running system ;)
