• 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?

• Flash or not Flash update the BIOS h8 - 1380t

  Recently purchased HP Pavilion h8 - 1380t Intel Core i7-3280 @ 3.6 GHz - 14 GB DDR3 1600 MHz SDRAM - wind 7 Pro 64-bit.

  Wanted to really install & run Win XP Mode, said installation hardware-assisted virtualization is not enabled in the BIOS. Let me tell you that the BIOS of this machine is as lame as I've seen in 30 years of doing this kind of things. However, there is no menu item for the filming on the virtualization of hardware support and no revision number or date. If I remember it's Megatrends (?) American. Two sessions with HP Technical Support gave rise to "maybe" updting BIOS would provide the H - A virtualization menu item. I downloaded the update available sp56214.exe. Anyone think it's a good idea to update the BIOS? Does anyone have Win XP Mode running on a similar HP desktop computer? And what is the key CTRL-I to enter the flash installation when booting? Is this a different configuration of the BIOS? I have not tried, but I have little time wil.

  You are the very welcome.

  Yes, this is my opinon (if it's not broken, don't fix) unless after reading the BIOS release notes there are something you just has to.

  If there is a way you can Flash the BIOS in the BACK, then I'd be more liberal in my thoughts, but these basic windows flashes... I've read too many horror stories on this forum about failed BIOS flashes.

  Just for fun, do a search on "flash BIOS failure" and see many threads pop up.

  "Old way" is the quote that comes to mind, and there is a link to a post on the Z620 mirroring of your question:

  here

  With very old BIOS versions like what you have, you will need to step up the BIOS versions in order.  You don't need to intensify in each version, just a couple of big no.

  Keep us updated... I think you will like the new BIOS versions, and I post it is better to update the BIOS to go into BIOS, rather than inside Windows.

• How can I update the Bios because of the question "plugged in, not load?

  I have a gateway computer, and all of a sudden I'm not into error on my charge battery.  I tried all the things people have mentioned in previous posts except to put updated my bios.  Gateway who told me to update them, but their steps did not make sense.  I downloaded the new software on a cd.  But from this point, that do I flash/update the bios?  I tried to start the computer with the disc, but it did not work.  Any help would be appreciated.

  I have three files

  BACK: Has Criskisk.zip, aceracdc.exe, phlash16, a rom and a wph file.

  Then I have a 32 Winflahs record and a record 64 winflash.  It looks like these have wflash mfc applications.

  So I think I have it all, just do not know what to click on and when.

  Hi ski2xtc,

  This would happen if the adapter is faulty or the charger on the motherboard component does not work.

  To update the BIOS to the latest version, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information.

  You can try to change the laptop battery and check if it charges properly.

• Updateing the BIOS on a R4

  I want to update my BIOS, I currently have the BIOS original version delivered AO3 installed when I bought the computer.  I want to upgrade to the latest version of the A11, I read so many horror stories about the things go wrong by updating the BIOS, such as bricking the motherboard and the command center does not work after and update. What is the best way to update, I read to update to version A05 firstly, I can't jump to A05 or I have to go to A04 first, then after the jump to A11 A05?

  My computer works fine now, I do it so I can update my video card, I'm not so sure that I have the courage to redo the BIOS, but I would of course like to upgrade the video card, so any advice, tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated

  Hi Nisei,

  Yes, please follow the exact order that I posted on my previous answer to Flash the Bios with the latest version. You can ignore what he says the performance of the A05 Bios from a bootable USB, you can download and run the executable for Windows. Let know us you need help.

• Impossible to update the BIOS on my Satellite A660

  Hello, guys!
  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. +
  + The BIOS above 230 version. +
  + More than 20% of battery capacity. +
  + Is attached AC. +

  The conditions of the first and the last are rooms but the second is not because the battery is dead (always 0% charged). Is there another way to update the BIOS?
  Thank you!

  Post edited by: al_3

  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!

  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?

• HP Omen: update the BIOS

  HP support assistant shows that there is the following update:

  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!

• 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.

• 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 ;)

• Satellite A210 - update the BIOS didn't

  Hello

  Just tried to update the BIOS on my Equium A210, everything went well until the closing and restarting (which failed).
  He left me with a black screen and an orange to power lights, no back to zero and I only can we get rid of the orange light if I remove the battery.
  OK, what I'm doing now?... is this repairable?

  See you soon

  > OK, what do I do now?... is this repairable?
  Yes and no.

  You can't fix this, but the ASP technician can do that.
  Therefore, you will need to contact the ASP in your country, to solve this
  The technician would be able to Flash the ROM module and I think this should help you.

• Satellite Pro 6000 - how can I update the BIOS?

  Hi all

  I have the problem that my laptop does not start 9 of 10 times with the message: * block 1 BIOS is damaged, call your service man.

  I want to update BIOS but for the Satellite Pro 6000 I can only find an update the BIOS from Windows. But my laptop does not start! Rarely the machine starts, but when I try to update the BIOS, I get the message that I already have the latest version of the BIOS

  My questions:
  * Is there a BIOS update file that is a BIOS floppy? (for example the Satellite Pro 6100 has 2 BIOS files, 1 Windows and 1 making a floppy disk)
  * Is it possible to update the BIOS with the same version of Windows?

  Or perhaps there is another solution for this problem? Has no need to update my BIOS?

  Thank you.

  Hans

  Hello

  I agree with Luke.
  The rom Bios module seems to be damage.
  Either it must be replaced or flashed again.

  But you won't be able to do that! The update of the Bios on the Toshiba page focuses on winning and you will not be able to update if the windows are not running.

  You last chance is an ASP that could check the BIOS ROM.
  As I said, most high, maybe new reflash module Rom help but cela can be answered simply by an ASP technician who checked this.

  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.

  Post edited by: kirekk

  Qosmio F50 - 10 k belongs to the series of PQF55E.
  If you want to update the BIOS, you will need to use the BIOS exactly for the F50 PQF55E series.

  The European driver Toshiba page provides BIOS for Vista 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
  But this does not mean that you cannot use the Win XP

  I think you can use the Win XP but the fact is that the BIOS has been optimized for Vista and not XP

  The BIOS update should work also on XP, but in some rare cases the update cannot be performed and in this case, you will need to the Toshiba preinstalled the operating system in order to update the BIOS
