  Yes it is possible. I have NB520-11. After reading many threads here I've done my own experiences.
  Using 4 GB RAM on preinstalled original Win7 starter doesn't have any effect because only 2 GB will be usable. I've install my own Win7 32-bit Home Premium and system displays now 4 GB installed and about 3 GB will be usable.

  To upgrade I ve used 4 GB of RAM on my Satellite P500. There PA3677U-1M4G part number.

• Satellite A500 - upgrade the processor and RAM void my warranty?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500, and I think to upgrade my processor CPU and RAM. If I open it invalidate or do I need a Toshiba authority to open it? Removes the card RAM will void the warranty?

  All I need to know is that can I put RAM and CPU processor without voiding the warranty

  Hey,.

  If you upgrade the CPU, you will cancel the warranty because this upgrade is not supported from Toshiba.
  In addition, I put t understand why you buy a laptop, and then you think of some hardware upgrades. In your case, I'd rather bought a laptop with faster processor and more RAM.

• HP Envy m6 1125dx: how to upgrade the bios and uefi without a hard drive

  I can't install OS, including Windows 8.1 discs. After that I get so far along, installing Windows says there is no hard drive, but it's there!

  I see that my BIOS is outdated. When I download the new BIOS from hp.com, I get an executable file

  which of course does not work on a computer that does not start. I can't find the bios file when I run

  the executable file on another laptop.

  So, I want to update bios and uefi to see if that helps with my problem.

  Quite true.

  See the image below.

  What is necessary to do is to extract the sp66782.exe file to a folder on the second computer.

  Rename A 018, 4. FD file to 018 has 4. BIN and save it to the root of the USB stick.

  Plug the key into a port on the computer laptop problem.

  Press the power button / stop the laptop and immediately press and hold the Windows key and the B key until the phone reacts and starts the BIOS recovery.

  If all goes well, that will recover the BIOS corrupted with the new copy which is on the flash drive.

  There is a detailed description of another method to do this on the thread of the forum according to 3rd party.

  Using this method will result in certain risks that you have to accept if you decide to follow this way to unbrick your laptop. Any update of the BIOS manually is risky.

  

• Upgrade the HDD and RAM

  Hello

  I have a HP dv7-3085dx (product no: VM188UA #ABA) and I need to upgrade my hard drive to an SSD & increase my RAM. currenlty I have 500 GB hdd & 6144 MB ram DDR3.

  1. Please let me know if Serial ATA III SSD (Samsung - 840 EVO 250 GB Internal Serial ATA III Solid State Drive) is compatible with my motherboard. And is it possible to use this (primary) SSD as well as my old HDD (secondary).

  2. do I need to buy additional cables for this upgrade?

  3. What is the rate of transfer of my RAM? If I could buy a compatible RAM.

  Your specific motherboard has the chipset Intel 5 series which is only capable of SATA-II. However, the Evo of 840 Samsung SATA-III will work fine and you will always see at an astonishing speed. You have chosen a good SSD (the same that I use, so I'm a little prejudiced).

  With regard to memory, this is the crucial.com on your model page showing it will take up to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) SO-DIMM DDR3-1333.

  http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Pavilion%20dv7-3085dx

  And Yes, you can use 2 hard drives in any dv7. It will take a second drive caddy and cable available here:

  PC built Sept 2009

  I looked at the Hp site but could not find an update for my bios.  Mobo is Foxconn Eton 1.0 and the Bios is FRIEND 5.05 25.09.2009

  A scan utility (Bios Agent) indicates that there is an update, but they require payment for flashing the bios.  In case I have some concerns, and many would prefer to download Hp or Foxconn.  I looked on the sites Web from Foxconn and FRIEND, but they require a lot & a lot of information that I don't have and don't know where to find them. I was hoping someone might have the same PC to give me information.

  Also to install the disk SSD drive I brobably would need an adapter to allow the reader to 2.5 inches to fit into the drive 3.5 "bracket. Apart from this, the connectors on the SSD drives all seem to be the same.  is this correct please or will it take a SSD and a specific to my PC case and my existing hard drive adapter.

  Thank you

  Hi thanks for your help, advice and information: my PC was purchased in January 2009 is a little more than 4 years.  The upgrade would cost 130 pounds. I could not buy a decent PC with 4 GB ram and an SSD for under £500.   I do not download music or movies, or make more than a small base video editing so I'm sure that with these improvements, there will be more than enough for me.

  One thing doesn't bother me.  It seems that when buying a PC Bios updates are available for the first 2/3 years, but not thereafter.  It would not have occurred to me to look for an update of the bios, during this period just simply because I thought that they were issued only when necessary to take into account improvements and new technologies so thanks for that. you live & learn.

  I'm trying to teach me the 'nuts & bolts' repair and fix PC problems and I guess that's the main use for my PC.  Experiment with a new £500 Pc would scare me to death.

  I'm on Linux Ubuntu 13.1 without any problems on my PC Dell 9 years and XP Pro on my HP Pavilion 13, so maybe I can do my Compaq last a little longer.

  Once again thank you very much.  its part of the process of learning.  see you soon

• HP DV6 of the computer stopped working after the update of the Bios and Memoryupgrade

  HP DV6 - 3161EO

  XE068EA #UUW

  Hi, I bought a brand new HP with Intel I5 processor computer and GUI double, its been working well so far and I thought that I should upgrade the Bios and memory as well.

  So I did, I bought memory 10600 and crusial 12600 and corsair, a single and two put in correspondence of the sticks, just to be in business, and I've updated the bios. of F.13 to F.29

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=SV&CC=se&DLC=SV&sw_lang=&product=4344...

  The computer worked perfectly for about 4-5 hours, then there are allmost quite dead.

  Ive tried to pass on different memorycabsm like the original samsungs that came with the computer.

  Ive tried the famous "hard reset".

  Nothing, the computer starts "boots" but don't approach the entered message turnes off.

  Presedure same each time.

  Any memory I put in, the same result.

  Ive used different powerbricks, turned of the computer resets hard, between 10s 2 min, picked up the bios battery, has offered free energy.

  Let the rest of the computer for half a day, put it all together exept cmos battery = exactly the same as before.

  "take out all the memories and the computer works and get that caps lock flashing light.

  So my question is this

  Why you encourage people to update, when it's clearly the fault at hand.

  Sell your computers with 8 GB of ram from the beginning so the people do not have upgraded later because your hardware is not able to manage different memorycaps of accepted and authorized as crusial or corsair providers.

  Ive built perhaps 50-60 computers and had about 10 laptops and NEVER had a fault like this.

  My laptop $1200 is useless, and I actually held you at HP responsible of it.

  The computer is of course out of warranty, so its my own falult, as usual.

  «A simple question, is there a way to 'force' a new bios on the Board, without memory of the computer, because it is the only time where it works and works welll.»

  Thnx, 'a sick owner HP.

  For later use, it's really kff upward, but I got it working again.

  1 changed the original memorycabs for much faster, 1600 mhz, I know that this mobo doesn't support, but he did start the computer, so I could run the Windows + arrows Bios recover.

  Installed the HP bios tools F10 + GIS and it worked.

  so I guess I have to myself a thank you and a boost of the kudosbutton, hahah

  Well, when your computer went down, don't give up and try everything you can, this prob took me about 3-4 days to eradicate, but now its working again.

  See you soon

• Satellite 2800-600 - how to upgrade the Bios/Firmware?

  How can I upgrade the Bios and firmware on my 2800-600? I want to install a new Combodrive. Which drives are supported? Where can I find the drivers and firmware etc... Please let me know. Thank you.

  Another point of view - I bought MS Windows XP Pro and haven´t you have a PC to install it on. Can I install this OS on my Satellite? Will it work? Where can I find the drivers for touchpoint etc etc... Normally, the Toshiba works with Windows ME and I can not use ITunes on ME... if XP would be great - what do you think?

  Hello Jürgen

  In my opinion, if you install the operating system on the unit you you use the recovery CD provided because it has been tested and it works without any problem. But if you want to install another system on your laptop, you can use the original Microsoft OS and all the necessary drivers, you can find the Toshiba site.

• The SSD and RAM upgrade

  I have the 13-inch Retina Display early 2015 model. It contains 128 GB SSD and 8 GB of RAM.

  I wanted to update both of them. Is this possible? I agree with HARD drive even if that is supported. 128 GB is not enough for me actually.

  Help, please.

  Without the SSD and RAM are both not upgradable.

  One option is to sell your computer and use the money to buy a new one with the features you need.

  There are two options to add an HD card to your card HD slot. Both options will be flush with the case.

• Laptop computer DV6174ea not start after upgrading the bios!

  Ive just used the upgrade of bios of HP downloads flash to upgrade the Phoenix bios on my dv6174ea to version 2.9 1.06.Flashed successfully but on reboot it reaches windows XP start screen (black with logo) fails then a blue screen and restarts quickly. Same cycle occurs again and again. Ive tried to boot from the XP cd, but it gives the message "no hard drive not detected" and fails. detect the drives in the BIOS there is no options to the automobile.

  Curiously, a USB bbot containing paragon hard disk manager won't start and sees my drive (two partitions) and the system partition is active.

  I wonder if the flashing the BIOS changed settings or drive letters so that windows does not see properly. I wish there was just a simple option in the bios for detection of discs.

  Can someone pls help.

  If you want to start your computer from the xp cd, then enter the bios and it try to disable the sata mode and activate the ide mode and then try to format your drive... it should work... !!!

• Satellite A100-386 - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  Hello

  I wanted just to update my old Satellite A100-386 with 4 GB of RAM (2x2gb Crucial) instead of 1 GB, as I am now running Windows7 Pro 64 bit instead of the original XP 32.

  I read that I had to upgrade the BIOS as mine is v2.00. So, I downloaded the last of them.
  It seems to be an automatic upgrade of BIOS (S10V600.exe) as mentioned on the site Web of Toshiba.
  But when hit the .exe, I have a box of error message saying:
  "LOADPEDRV. "EXE: could not start the service.

  My question is: do I have to be 32-bit OS to run the upgrade of the automatic BIOS or is it possible to Flash the BIOS with a Windows7 64 bit OS run?

  Thanks a lot for all answer as I found no 'how to' in search on this forum.

  Best regards
  François

  Hi FPSim,

  Who said that you need to update the BIOS to upgrade RAM? The maximum RAM capacity depends on the motherboard and chipset and not BIOS.

  Official website of Toshiba, I have seen that the model supports 4 GB of RAM so the BIOS update is not necessary. Increase the RAM and everything is ok.

• LV RT2010 on PXI-8145RT - cannot upgrade the BIOS

  Hello

  My lab has a pair of PXI systems controlled by 8145RT PXI and LabView 2010 because we have not upgraded for awhile. As far as I know, this controller should be usable with LV2010 RT.

  However, when I try to install the software on the target using MAX, I get a message informing me that the software I would like to install (LV - Rt 10.0) is incompatible with the operating system loaded on the machine. The ethernet driver install without problem, for what it is worth.

  When you try to upgrade the BIOS, I first got a message that the controller contains the version 10.2 and 10.3 version is available on the host. If I try to follow the upgrade procedure (jumper W2 bridged, of course) the controller sees a bit of business network, reboots, gets a little more traffic, and then MAX tells me that the update has failed.

  I can see that the flash update program was transferred to the target and set as the boot executable, but clearly it was not entirely successful. Can anyone help with this? I upgraded to 512 MB CF card (which he has no problem using) and RAM 64 Mo - I didn't have an old 128 MB SODIMM autour. What is the problem? Starting with redirect series will help something? I have to build a null modem to make this work.

  For anyone in a similar situation.

  In the end, I decided to downgrade to LV2009 on my development machine and try things again. With the help of LV2009/LVRT2009/MAX4.6, I was able to upgrade the version of the BIOS on both of my controllers 8145RT - correctly we from 10.2 to 10.3 and 9.1 to 10.3. After that, I was able to install RT2009 + DaqMX + another need of the components on the controller for which I had updated size RAM and CF. There is not a lot of memory to spare, but the controller starts in LVRT(9.0/2009) and I have successfully deployed an application to test on this subject.

  My application may require an upgrade to faster hardware in the end, but the 8145RT must stay a usable under LV2009 for simple tasks controller. I suspect that LVRT2010 would work, now that I got the BIOS upgrade, but I'm not inclined to test this right now.

  As for the original question of the update of the BIOS fault, I'm pretty sure it is a bug in MAX 4.7.  4.6 MAX had no trouble to initiate an update to the exact same version as 4.7 was trying (10.3); I suspect that MAX 4.7 have not properly configured the CF environment to start the flash update program.

  Hope this helps someone.

• HP Pavilion DV6500: upgrading the BIOS on HP DV6500 w/Win7-64

  HP Pavilion DV6500

  Service etiquette: dv6607rs

  Memory: 2 GB to 4 GB upgrade

  Operating system: Win7 Ultimate 64-bit

  HD: upgrading to the new Toshiba 1 TB HDD - MQ01ABD100

  OLD HD: Western Digital WD1600BEVS - 60RST0

  CPU: upgrading to AMD Turion64 X 2 TL-66, 2.3 GHz

  OLD CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X 2 TK - 55 1.8 GHz

  Motherboard model: Quanta 30CF

  Motherboard Chipset: nVidia nForce 630M (C67)

  BIOS: Phoenix HP, 23/07/2007, F.06

  Had this laptop for free because he was constantly overheating and blue screening and the keyboard didn't work. Bought the new keyboard and fixed overheating by a cleaning in depth and the new thermal paste to the heat sink. Then, I decided to update as much as I can and use it to make music.

  The BIOS are very old, F.06. I was told that I should update the BIOS, because the most recent BIOS also included fixes for overheating, among other things. Unfortunately, I was told also that you need the operating system is Vista or BIOS update program "brick" laptop.

  I got what I thought, it was the ingenious idea to use my old hard drive, install Vista on it (came to me with Win7 too), update the BIOS, and then replace the new HDD with Win7 in. Trying to install Vista on my old hard drive, the installation routine says impossible to find the hard drive, and I need to install drivers to "see" the hard drive.

  I don't know exactly what I need. I tried several AMD AHCI drivers, but I have not found the good, or I need somethng totally different AMD AHCI drivers.

  I guess I have two questions.

  1. is it possible to update of the BIOS under Win7, without having to try to do it on another hard drive with Vista?

  2. If Vista will be used, what exactly I need / have to do to get Vista to recognize my original hard drive?

  (Hard drive model D'origina listed at the beginning of post)

  I want to emphasize that although I have not used the laptop much since I upgraded the CPU, everything seems to work well. I'm just worried that I may have still some problems of overheating, especially since the most recent processor can generate a little more heat than the original (35 watts instead of 31 watts).

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Kind regards

  Bill

  Ok. I'm done.

  The hard drive was not recognized because I did something stupid. When I got the new drive and put the old man back, I forgot to transfer adapter plastic little new hard drive to the former. The pins on the old drive never made contact when I put it back in the system.

  Once I realized my mistake, I could format the old drive, put Vista on it, Flash the BIOS to the most recent/last version and then replace the old drive to the new drive with Win7-64 on it. Piece of cake.

  Now, I did almost everything possible to restore and modernize this computer:

  • Faster CPU support
  • Max RAM
  • Battery high capacity
  • New, 1 TB hard drive (with the pin adapter back on!)
  • Replaced the optical drive non-working
  • Replace the non-functional keyboard
  • BIOS flashed
  • Replace hard drive broken plastic cover
  • Replaced the knob cracked and melted
  • Win7-64
  • Clean the vents, fan, radiator, new thermal paste

  Everything seems to work OK so far. Let's see if the overheating problem that caused my ex-wife (the killer of computer) to throw this laptop comes back, or if it is fixed for good. Thanks to those who replied with their answers to help me.

• Upgrading the BIOS. Mobo ASUS P5LP - THE. BIOS of PHX. Tech. of ver.3.16. Pavilion a1620n. Win 7OS.

  I have a Hp Pavilion a1620n with a motherboard ASUS P5LP - THE using Phoenix Technologies Bios VER.3.16 and running Windows 7. I want to upgrade the processor and said that I have to upgrade the Bios before upgrading the processor. I have been researching but can't find any info on how to do it for this particular machine. There is no on-board Bios Flash program and I can't seem to find any information. Any ideas?

  AZ_scuba_dude, welcome to the forum.

  There is no update software/BIOS for Win7 for the computer.  It is unlikely that there will be a developed.  However, there is a BIOS update for XP.  You will need to do a system restore to the original configuration that includes XP.  Once this operation is complete, you can update the BIOS to version: 3.19.  You can do the update using the executable file (sp35100.exe). Although she did not mention anything about what makes the upgrade of the processor.  Here are the Specifications of the motherboard of the computer.  In the processor upgrade information section, it lists the updates that supports HP.

  Please let us know if this solved your problem or not.
