Where is the BIOS Setup? -Satellite Pro 490XCDT

My wife has a prehistoric laptop 490XCDT and yesterday she has returned with a new WLAN card

> please, best husband in the world, install this

She said and now its me who struggels for hours with this sh... laptop :/

It might be helpful that I could get in the BIOS settings, but when I press ESC for power, this model just to say:

> check the system and press F1

If I do, the 'system' boots (WIN98) and no BIOS configuration is available

What can I do? (exept recycling, devorce, etc...)

Jake

Hello

I agree with you. This device is quite old.
Are you sure that your wireless network card is compatible with your device?
What card did you use? minPCI or PCMCIA WLan?
You suggested that your unit is pre-installed with an OS Win 98. Well, I m sure that you need also a good pilot.

AFAIK the ESC is a button on the right to enter the BIOS but let other opportunities; F2 or F12.

  • 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:

  • The update of the BIOS for Satellite Pro M70 does support TPM?

    Hello

    There was an update of the bios that is specially designed for Vista... = bios-vista - 510win.zip on the Toshiba site...

    Although my Satellite Pro M70-113 did not support the default TPM module (BIOS verson 1.1, I always have this), is it possible that this update includes the TPM secure to enable bitlocker on vista?

    Can someone check and confirm please... :)

    And secondly, is configuration BIOS update for Windows utility saves the current state of the BIOS in some external as backup media, while if it happens with the process of update... the previous version can be restored in return?

    And a BIOS may be downgraded?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    (1.) I m not 100% sure but I think the new BIOS for the M70 does not support the TPM secure. I read somewhere that all BIOS versions that support TPM on Toshiba laptops cannot be updated by a common user, but the user must contact the authorized Toshiba service provider for these updates.
    That's why I think that Toshiba would not any BIOPS version by download issue if this BIOS would support the TPM.

    2.) now something about the second question:
    The new BIOS version replaces the old BIOS and BIOS States and to my knowledge it of not possible to save the settings for a backup more later.
    Generally, you must be careful with any update of the BIOS. Bad BIOS or bad update procedure may damage the jury!

  • Problems after updating the BIOS on Satellite Pro P200

    I recently buy a Satellite Pro P200 running Windows Vista Business. Yesterday, I updated the BIOS to the version 1.50 supplied with the machine to 1.80 available on the Toshiba site. I double checked that I was using BIOS correct update for the Pro P200 Satellitel running Vista.

    After updating the BIOS, I have now two problems:

    1. whenever I start and join the office, I get an error message "record of Vista has stopped working". This problem has been identified as toshibavistaregistration.exe here: [link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99805]

    2 Control Panel > system now shows the processor and the memory (RAM) as "not available". Execution of the diagnostic PC Toshoba tool and looking at basic information show also no information on the memory (RAM) Although the processor information here. There may be pieces others missing too under the eyes of list shorter than before the update of the BIOS.

    Basically, I want to get everything working again as it should, but cannot find any information on these issues.

    After further review, it appears that the update of the BIOS is not the cause of the problems.

    Immediately after updating the BIOS, I had a major system crash. It turns out that this is what has caused problems.

    After a system restore to a point before the update of the BIOS and the major system crash, now everything is working again with BIOS version 1.8 in place.

  • Behavior of cooling after only the BIOS Flash - Satellite Pro A300

    Hello everyone,

    I have two laptop computers, Satellite Pro A300 Satellite A300. Both have the same configuration, C2D E8300 2 GB, ATI 3650 512 MB and so on...

    Today I flashed BIOS to the latest version (from V3.90 to V4.20) on both of them. Version 3.90 cooling was OK, fan worked only when it was necessary. But now after that flashing the BIOS fan runs constantly, he does not stop.

    What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

    My question is, what is the problem with cooling in the new version (v4.20)? And how to fix this?
    Yet once again, the problem did not exist before flashing the BIOS and the problem is on both computers.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Best regards
    Osman

    > What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

    I doubt that there could be something wrong, I want to say that you said that after changing the method in cooling Toshiba Power Saver, the fans don't run all the time
    Usually the cooling modules are controlled by energy savings and the BIOS contains only the table fan.

    Keyboard of my laptop or on the left side of the laptop becomes too hot because on this side, you find the cooling modules that blow hot air

    Nothing so unusual...

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    First of all you n t need to access the BIOS to boot from the CD.
    You can simply press the F12 key immediately after the laptop has been powered.
    It would show the available boot options.

    Alternatively, you can press the C button that would automatically allow the CD/DVD drive as the boot source.

    Hello

    The BIOS 3, 50-VICTORY on the Toshiba page is OS independent.
    I guess that the XP and Vista OS are available for this unit, so that the update should work on both s BONES.
    By the way; You should check the Description of the Toshiba BIOS update before upgrading the BIOS.

    But why you want to update the BIOS? If everything works correctly, then I recommend not updated the BIOS
