Hello

If you are sure that you have chosen the right BIOS for this series of cell to 100%, the problem must be related to a missing Toshiba software that is needed to update the BIOS.

As mentioned above; the common modules must be installed if you are using Win XP.
VAP is necessary if you are using Win Vista or Win 7

But as far as I know that the software Win 7 or Vista came out to this old series Tecra so, possibly, you can update the BIOS only ruin Win XP.

  • Update the BIOS Tecra M11 - 11L: to get power on display on two screens?

    Y at - it a BIOS update that lets me select "BOTH" as an option for the power on the screen?
    Currently, it lists only internal and automatic selection.

    Automatic selection outputs only to the external screen if it is connected.
    I need set the default output on both screens.

    Older Toshibas to this. In fact, all other Toshiba I used has this feature.
    Like a laptop rental/presentation/Conference, this is an important feature.

    And Yes, I've updated the BIOS with the latest version.

    UH Oh,.

    You may need to give your machine a service partner to let them fix this, because it sounds like a serious problem. One of my clients had a similar problem with a non-toshiba machine and it was a corrupted bios. I Don t know if it is in this case a corrupt bios, but it s definitely a problem that must be solved by a technician.

    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.

    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."

  • Tecra M3 PTM30E - cannot update the BIOS

    Hello

    I can't install my new Bios on the Tecra M3 PTM30E-09X01LEN system.
    The message says: not supported.

    Why?

    I put t he understand.

    Hello

    First of all, I want to ask you why you want to update the BIOS?
    You have some problems with the laptop that could be solved by the BIOS updated?

    Also what BIOS you use and where did you find and download?

    The Tecra M3 PTM30E seems to be a European model and the BIOS must be placed on the European driver Toshiba page.

    I checked the page and there are two versions of the BIOS;
    BIOS 1.20 - WIN-FBCF is only for the models with filter virtual control of Angle (FBCF)
    The BIOS 1.50 - WIN is for models WITHOUT filter the virtual control of Angle (FBCF)

    Seems that you used the wrong BIOS!

  • 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

  • Is Tecra S5 - useful to update the BIOS?

    Recently, I bought a laptop Tecra S5 and yesterday I noticed an update of the BIOS on the Toshiba site.

    I googled a lot searched this forum and found a lot of discussion about people having problems after updating (flashing) the BIOS. So I want to ask you if the update worth it, and if someone with an S5 did. Could someone also tell me if there is a way to ensure that you can roll back previous BIOS version after that an update does not?

    The laptop is precious to me and since living in this time of financial crisis means that I won't be able to buy a new one if I screw this up I want to be sure. Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: I forgot to mention that I installed Vista 64 due to having 4 GB of RAM.

    Hello

    First a BIOS update is not required if your laptops gently. Never touch a running system ;)
    A BIOS update is only recommended if you have any problem with him, for the memory vivid example not properly recognized or so.

    I only updated the BIOS of my laptop if I have problems with it, and that means that I have updated the BIOS on my Toshiba notebooks 3 times yet. I m not a Tecra S5 owner but I never had a problem with the BIOS updates. Some people who said that the update of the BIOS didn't forgot to read some instructions how to do this:
    Before you start an update of the BIOS, you must close all running programs and close all background processes that you don't need. Also your antivirus and firewall should be disabled and must be signed in as an administrator. Don t forget to connect the AC/DC adapter, before start you.
    If you follow these tips, normally the BIOS update must be done successfully.

    A BIOS to a previous version downgrade is possible that anuthroized service provider. This means that you can downgrade it yourself.
    But the newer versions are pre-tested Toshiba and should not cause more problems as before. Newer versions of BIOS problems.

    I hope I could help a bit! :)

  • Tecra 8000, update the bios

    I do not have a disk station and I can't update bios 9.10 at 9: 30 a.m. - trad. I made a boot cd with the update of the bios, initiated from this cd and started the .exe. The program starts and asks you the .bin file and I typed it correctly. The update seems to be made and it recharges cell phones, but the bios is always 9.10. There is no error message that comes up on the screen. I need to update the bios, because I have to install another hard drive.

    The problem is resolved.
    First of all, I updated from version 9.10 at 9.20 with a bootable cd and I've updated to version 9.30 with another bootcd.

    HOWTO:

    1. create a bootable cd with the files that are in the version of the bios zip 9.20 file. Put the cd in the drive and start the laptop (make sure the laptop starts on the cd). Type CHGBIOSA at the command prompt, when the program asks you the file, type BIOFC1AT.COM.

    2. create a bootable cd with the files that are in the version of the bios 9.30 zip file. Put the cd in the drive and start the laptop. Type CHGBIOSA at the command prompt, when the program asks you the file, type BIOFC1AT.COM (do not EC04F150 type. WELL, it did not work here).

    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.

  • Impossible to update the BIOS on my Satellite A660

    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. +

    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
    Incorrect procedure may damage the motherboard!

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
    The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

    A lot, I searched but found nothing.
    The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

    THX in advance,
    John

    Hello

    First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
    Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

    I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
    So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

    By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)
