Updated M17x R3 Bios A12 and 6970 m

It may be old news, but I have noticed that the update today...

Congratulations to the new bios update to R3, this I implements the ability to select the discrete GPU or switchable graphics in the bios.

As far as I can see that this means that you can either opt to use switchable graphics with Dell/Alienware drivers or select the discrete GPU and use AMD drivers. Currently I use the drivers of 7970 m for the R4 and have not had a problem with them, but if I ever did, it means I can update the driver AMD and continue with the discrete GPU only.

Performed.

  • The update of the BIOS on Satellite Pro U400?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 (PSU41E) running Windows 7 x 64 and I try to update the BIOS to version 4.70 to 4.00.

    Whenever I try to do it from Windows using WinPhlash which comes with the download on the Toshiba site it seems to freeze when you try to Flash the new BIOS.
    I connected as the local administrator, tried to use other programs flash and even tried to do from a USB flash drive with no luck.

    Can someone please help me and explain how do I update the BIOS?

    Hello

    > tried to use other flash programs
    Never use other flash programs! In the worst case, you could damage the ROM module and then it must be replaced. Use only the program flash Toshiba that is tested and designed for laptop and the version of the BIOS.

    The update of the BIOS program is also designed for Windows, it s a Windows Update program.

    Satellite Pro U400 wasn t comes with Windows 7 so I guess you did your own installation. Value added package is required for the update of the BIOS program and can be downloaded on the European driver of Toshiba download page where is your laptop model:

  • Username and password required for the update of the BIOS download?

    Hi guys,.

    Hoping someone could help.

    Yesterday, I received my Mini of click on Satellite and I currently support after discovering there is a certain drivers are installed before you can actually use the thing.

    While the laptop is in charge, I try to download the update of the BIOS on my laptop, so I can transfer it to my laptop once it is fully charged... I did have problems downloading tastes of the driver wifi for example but when I try to download the BIOS update opens a new and tab where Toshiba ask me a username and password? I tried to enter my username and password I used to register on this site and I also tried using another computer to download it, but without success. It is worth noting that I could partially download the file last night but then it failed to half way through download?

    Any suggestions?

  • Portege Z930 - 12 H - update of the BIOS and McAfee Endpoint Encryption?

    The update to the latest BIOS (Ver.6.70) for my laptop Portege Z930 12 H comes with the warning:

    «If you use the BitLocker Windows Drive encryption, please temporarily suspend (or turn off) before BitLocker Drive Encryption updated BIOS.»

    The same caveat applies to McAfee Endpoint Encryption, which is used on my laptop and I can * not * pause or stop? Or can I apply the upgrade of the BIOS safely?

    Thank you.

    As much I know Bitlocker isn't related to Antivirus from McAfee software and two security tools are not connected to each other. BitLocker is a tool for Microsoft Windows and McAfee is a 3rd party software preinstallation on the device.

    I found a nice how doc on the update of the BIOS.

  • Satellite A110-180 - update of the Bios for Windows 7 and Linux

    Hello

    I want to change the following settings in my bios on my laptop satellite A110-180
    * AHCI for SATA
    Disable the IDE

    But none of these options.
    So I thought that maybe I should update my bios.
    I found the download page, but there are 2 options: Windows Vista or NO vista, but I want to dual boot windows 7 and linux.

    Which one should I download, or is there another option to change the settings?

    Thank you!
    Bart

    Hello

    Satellite A110 does not support these options (SATA AHCI).
    The update of the BIOS will not help you!

    Linux is not supported and therefore, you will not find any special BIOS for Linux OS!

    The two BIOS updates are for Win Vista or OS independent.
    Therefore, if you use other than Vista OS then you should throw the update of the independent BIOS to the BONE!

    But as mentioned above; both options will not appear after the BIOS update!

  • 5205 - update of the BIOS and the system locked up satellite

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 5205, I updated the BIOS to 1.5 (I think it was.)

    And the laptop locked up it seemed all in the bios flashing. The reason why I say shut up
    is because windows never stop after the flash and windows was totally locked up.

    Now when I turn on the laptop, I get no image on the LCD at all. And the remote control downwards at the front said "technician / bios call. I know that if the battery go dead bios will reset (like a desktop computer.)

    But another problem is, can't get off the case to get at the battery, so he'll recover.
    I never had too many problems with laptops, I can fix/repair computers office without problem.

    I was wondering, bios clear/reset if I take the battery pack on the back of the computer laptop itself?
    Don't know if it will have the same effect as the removal of the (watch battery inside like a normal desktop computer.)

    I had a problem with my pad endangered and hang retouching who enter or exit Windows. It's
    why I decided to update.

    Because I don't get a picture now, I can't re-flashing the bios.

    Any advice on that would be great.

    Hello James

    If you remove the CMOS battery, it will have no influence. The BIOS is written in the BIOS chip and cannot be given to previous version before upgrading. The problem is that you have a United States model and I have no experience with the Toshiba U.S. models.

    If you want to see the page we Toshiba under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp

    Maybe you can find something interesting there. In any case, from your description, I assume that the BIOS is faulty and you need technical assistance. Call them and ask what exactly the error message. Please give us a feedback on this problem. It may be useful for other users we Toshiba.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite L350-277 - update the new BIOS and Wifi pilot

    TEMPRO gave me 2 new drivers, but received instructions.

    BIOS setting has been an operation involving the driver of the copy on a disk and then to change to start with disk boot order.
    However, I think that the new BIOS drivers are installed with running Windows - like a normal program. Does anyone know for sure?

    I guess the wifi pilot is a normal installation, with the wifi on or off?

    Hello

    Just a question;
    Is an update of the driver WLan and BIOS update needed?
    I mean; you have problems with your laptop where these updates would be necessary?

    You should not update if everything is OK. in most cases the Tempro informs you about the drivers and tools that are uploaded on the page of the driver, but it is not a recommendation for an update, you know what I mean?

    I'm always this trick; never change a running system.

  • Satellite L10-119: update the BIOS clears and RTC battery is not

    I upgraded my Satellite L10-119 with new 250 GB HARD drive and the BIOS update. The laptop worked well.
    After two months a probem follow arrived - only first 137 Gb(2^48) of the disk is accessible.
    I've discovered:

    1. If I flash BIOS again and the computer restarted after flashing, the upper part of the HARD drive is accessible for a short time or until I restart again.
    2. a show of internal clock 01/01/1988 if I disconnect and connect a main battery.

    So I guess that it is a problem with the RTC battery (L10-119 is 2.5 years old)

    I tried to charge the battery of the CCF by connecting the laptop power for a long time, but this does not solve the problem.
    Does anyone know what can I do else (except visit ASP)?

    Post edited by: Admin

    Your guess was right, and I also, think that the problem with your BIOS settings always clear RTC battery.
    In other words, the RTC is dead.

    Battery charging will not succeed, because he can't keep the load.
    It's probably not as easy to replace then with desktop computers, so I advise you to contact local ASP, and all must be dismantled.

    I'm sorry to tell you, it's the only method I know to get your laptop to life.

  • BIOS A12 recognize CD/DVD players

    Hi, I have a 1 GB of RAM computer Dimension 4600 P4 2.8 ghz, it is about 5 years old under Win XP SP2. Since that time I've only changed an ATI to a Nvidia video card. The system comes with a DVD-ROM and a CD - R. I bought a Pioneer DVD - RW DVR-111DBK from futureshop player. I plugged the drive Pioneer DVD - RW and reveal BIOS not recognize. I then put my old drive and then BIOS would not recognize one of my factory records.

    At first my computer was running BIOS version A02. I thought that if I've updated to A12 which could help solve my problem. I updated the version of BIOS of A02 to A12 and that did nothing either. BIOS won't recognize any CD or DVD drive.

    I tried reseting the caps NVRAM, NumLock, scroll, alt-e, alt - f and alt - b, but it does not work. Secondary Master and secondary Slave he said still unknown. BIOS won't recognize that my hard drive everything else is unknown. I also tried to remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard which did nothing.

    All connections are secure, and I am at a total loss. I have no floppy A: drive. Some people that I talked to said the reader futureshop may be defective, but this does not explain why my previous discs can be recognised more. I have not drop them or damaging them in any way.

    Can someone help me?

  • Tecra M10 - update of the BIOS says "this computer is not supported.

    Recently refurbished a M10 - 10I to reinstall the operating system. WinXP install at all so I try to update the BIOS as it seems quite old (V1.5). Most recent version (and is available) for this machine seems to be V3.0. Download and try to run the file "P0065V300" and get the message:

    Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.3.0
    This computer is not supported

    What can I do? Its supposed to be for this model!

    Also, prefer a version of boot drive, but hey, I can use a version of Windows, assuming that it runs on Win7.

    Hello

    Tecra M10 - 10I belongs to the series of PTMB1E and according to the page of the Toshiba UE driver, BIOS v3.00 - WIN is the latest BIOS version which is available for this model.

    The BIOS update requires a few additional tools Toshiba as VAP (additional package for Win 7)

    If this driver isn't installed, the update of the BIOS would not work.

    Hello Forum,

    I have exactly the same problem as described here 2 years ago:

    I need to update my BIOS, but I can't because the update of the BIOS told me that the Intel TXT is enabled.
    Unfortunately I can not disable it in my bios. Its just not selectable. The 'cursor' jumping just above him.
    I can only 'hide' which does not help.
    I have the same thing for the VT - x and VT - d setting in the BIOS. Is not selectable or editable as well.

    TPM is not active if...
    I installed after infineon and he tells me I need to enable the TPM in the bios to use. :-(

    I have a very old Bios Version 3.1 and I read in the changelog that there are a lot of TPM in v 3.4 and 3.5 related changes...

    In any case...

    Unfortunately, that this file has been deleted on 2shared.com

    can someone please provide this file (or an update of the bios later) which resolves this issue?

    Does anyone know what is the problem?

    Thanks in advance for your help...

    Hello

    You have problems with the laptop?
    If not then why you want to do the BIOS? Just because the new BIOS is released?
    I would not change anything if my laptop is running correctly.

    However, the update of the BIOS requires the VAP (value added package).
    So remember that this PPV is installed correctly. If this isn't the case, so far.

  • How I restore the update to the BIOS on Satellite U400-157?

    I recently updated a Tempro alert for update of the BIOS for the notebook. Now, I noticed that the screen blanks a few times at PC startup. It was't there before. How do I roll back the update of the BIOS to a previous one.

    I don't get to see the BIOS updated screen other cases other than the time I did the BIOS update.

    Hello

    To be honest I don't understand exactly what your problem is.
    You said:. Now, I noticed that the screen blanks a few times at PC startup.
    Does that mean exactly? Is your black screen until Windows has started?

    To be honest, I put t think the BIOS update would be the reason for which go into the BIOS (press F2) and set the default BIOS settings (F9) and save the changes (F10).

    If you want to recover the BIOS version earlier, then you will need Flash module ROM BIOS using a basic BIOS version BACK. You will find on the European driver Toshiba page only the win versions

  • Satellite Pro P200-15W: update according to BIOS 1.9 fans walk all the time

    I have a Satellite Pro P200-15W. After recently running the BIOS update to version 1.9, the fans started running all the time and are extremely loud. Also, he did weird things for Firefox, Thunderbird and NAV.

    I would like to "Uninstall" the update of the BIOS if possible. I found [this link: http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1080 89xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 24408215 & stateId = 0% 200% 202 4406262] who treats the restore running CD.

    If I run this CD, which will certainly restore the BIOS to the previous version?

    Is there a less destructive way (ie: that does not erase the hard drive)?

    Thank you

    Ben

    Post edited by: cannboys

    Hello

    It seems that the picture of the fan was changed and renewed in the new version of BIOS, and so fans run fall.
    Why the table fan has been changed?

    Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve the reduction of the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with maximum performance.
    This helps to prevent the equipment from damage!

    > would like to "Uninstall" the update of the BIOS if possible. I found this link that explains the running restore CD. If I run this CD, which will certainly restore the BIOS to the previous version?
    > Is there a less destructive way (ie: that does not erase the hard drive)?

    Usually, the recovery CD formats the whole HARD drive (partitions too) and installs only the image of Toshiba on the notebooks of HARD drive. The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
    But you can try to recover the laptop to see if you can solve the problems of software!

    If you want to reverse the BIOS, you will need to contact the ASP in your country!

    Sorry, but all I can suggest.

    Best regards
