  I am looking for this version of BIOS to test the object. Can someone help me with a link?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that the BIOS for Tecra A8 3.2 is not available on the Toshiba European driver page because this version has expired and the new BIOS versions are already available on the Toshiba page.

  I put t know if it s possible, but maybe a Toshiba authorized service provider might be able to help get an older version of BIOS.
  It s just a suggestion, but maybe what it s worth a try.

• Updating BIOS for Tecra 8000 without floppy

  I searched this forum a solution update the BIOS without a floppy drive. The only one i found was this thread [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=66966&tstart=0], but there is no file .iso for the tecra 8000 series.
  is there a solution to get the new bios installed on my tecra 8000 without any floppy drive?

  I checked Toshiba BIOS download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp and TRAD BIOS version is proposed. This old Tecra is maybe 10 years and now, Toshiba has offered traditional update the BIOS only.

  Win versions are later available with latest Tecra 9000/9100.
  I'm sorry.

  Maybe stupid question now, but why do you need the BIOS update?

• Updating BIOS for Tecra A3: is it really necessary?

  I often see a new file for the bios update download site. My Tecra A3 is 2 months old and have no problems so far. Is it really necessary to update the BIOS?

  One more thing, it is that there is no mention on what the latest version of the BIOS to the laptop.

  Hello

  If your device works properly and there is no problem, in my opinion, the update of the BIOS is not necessary to do so.

  I use the P20 Satellite about two years and I n t do BIOS update so far. I agree with you that without any concrete description, it is not easy to decide BIOS update.

• Updating BIOS for Tecra M7

  Hi guys,.

  I tried a bios upgrade for my Tecra M7 (as it is on version 1.70 - 17/10/2006).
  I found version 3, 20-victory - but of course, I've replaced Windows with Linux.

  I'd feel safer doing the traditional way anyway, so is there a way to get the folder on the CD from somewhere?
  Is it possible to pass a parameter to the program 'P0048v320_nVidiaGraphics.exe '?
  Is there a secret link?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is not so good, because toshiba does not provide a traditional BACK for this computer bios. You need a Windows system running with common modules installed to perform a bios update, if you find another way then you´re probably a lucky guy.

  I was using an old HDD with a recovery top Windows to update the bios on a Portege M400, so you should find a hard drive and install windows on it.

  Sorry man

• Updating BIOS for Tecra A2

  Hello!

  I'm trying to update the BIOS on a Tecra A2 and I need help. I downloaded the current version (1.40 - WIN) and then extracting the zip file to copy on a diskette as instructed, the package extracts from 1.84 MB! Obviously this will not keep on a floppy disk, so how can I perform the update?

  According to the installation instructions this model no is not upgraded to Windows - if the version name contains WIN (?)

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Itsame.

  I'm agree with sascha BIOS update published on the Toshiba page focuses on the victory of BIOS and this can ONLY be changed during the execution of a Windows operating system.

  So download the BIOS, unzip and then run it the exe file

• Exploit the DRAM rowhammer - updates BIOS for pre.30 series?

  The bug of rowhammer DRAM operator for core privileges

  http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/03/exploiting-DRAM-rowhammer-bug-to-gain.html

  The question is serious (on the affected hardware) Since updating the BIOS probably can not fully mitigate, only make it more difficult to exploit. Lenovo Security Advisory http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product_security/row_hammer contains a list of the products concerned.

  It states that 'any 40nm void (e.g. DDR3) memory after 2011 and before 2014 could be affected by this problem' opens the question whether the ThinkPad serie.20 are also affected or not. Lenovo has test them as well or are they considered as not supported (and left vulnerable)?
