Hello

If you laptop works well, do not update. If this is not the case, use HP Support Assistant or any other program to day/download the BIOS! Download it:

http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp55001-55500/sp55299.exe

manually in a file, close all running applications (browser, etc.) and then install it by double clicking and following the instructions...

  • Aspire ME600 BIOS update has made the system useless

    In January 2013, I bought what I thought, it was a solid through Amazon, an Acer AME600-UR378 product. Has a fast processor and lots of RAM. As a tech geek I was sure that I made a good purchase. It wasn't super smooth, but I have advanced and added an SSD as my Starter/primary OS drive. Everything was peachy... until now.

    This week, I tried to put in place the support dual monitor. When the new connection of video card was not recognized, I decided to be smart and ask help from Acer chat service before mucking around too deep into the system myself. They chatted amiably far and suggest I should update my BIOS from the system and even gave me a direct download link to the file.

    The zip came with a simple pdf page and so I gave it a go. Five easy steps, flash, reboot and my machine has now been rendered useless. I now get the blue screen of death, with errors such as "start your PC configuration data is missing or contains errors." To try a refresh/reset, I get an error saying that the drive is locked. On trying to use the recovery disc I made when I got the system, it is said that this is not a recognizable disk.

    I got a few things to try friends of IT operations, but none have worked. SanDisk support suggested, I update the firmare on the SSD, but it does not solve the problem.

    Despite all is based on the file and the recommendation of the Acer support, I am now told by 4 different representatives (so far) that my system is under warranty and they would be happy to help once I gave them more money. I am angry and disgusted by the present, in addition to being frustrated that I can't find a solution to this day. Hours and hours of googling and research have given ideas, but none that worked.

    So, I throw myself at the mercy of this forum, in the hope that someone who has some kind of idea on how I can bring my pc back to life.

    Thank you, in advance!

    EEK.

    I turn and watch the bios options.  The tab at the end should be called something like 'Boot' opposite of what it is now, I would like to put the startup mode option: legacy / UEFI.

    I would also check the bios options for all which allow change of disc HARD Sata IDE to AHCI mode/Mode, ideally, you should be set to AHCI.  But keep in mind you can have a Raid option, too.

    One of these "could" solve your problem.

    What blue screens you get exactly? What version of bios go you to? What are the first 10 digits of your serial number of computers?

  • Qosmio DX1210 starts plus-mise the Bios updated has no

    Hello

    I tried to do an update of the BIOS on my DX1210 last night to version 1.5.
    There is a write failure error message during the update and now the system does not start.
    Is it possible to reflash the bios when a bios update fails?
    I have all the files extracted on one but key USB bios I don't know what to do to initiate a bios recovery?

    Well, the BIOS problems can be solved only by a Toshiba authorized service partner.
    I guess the ROM module where the BIOS is stored, not properly was flashed.
    The Rom module can be flashed again using a disc special crisis.

    So I don't see a real option for you: get in touch with the guy from service for repair.

  • Satellite L40 - 1.90 bios update has no effect on the reboot of Vista except

    Hello

    We have a laptop L40 and very happy with it. There BIOS 1.60 and I want to update to 1.90. 32 - Vista Home Basic has been installed by default. He now has SP1.

    When I unzip the package and run the bat file (that start with binary winflash), the 'dos' window opens and stays there for a while. Nothing happens and then the window closes and the system is restarted.

    When I run just winflash, nothing happens. There is no dialogue or any other message.

    How is - a is updating the bios on the L40 - 14Y (PSL48E)?

    THX!

    DickS

    Hello

    I'm really surprised, why you start the file beats if there is no exe file. Unzip all of the files on the desktop to the laptop and open the winflash.exe file, follow the instructions on the screen.
    Make sure that the laptop is connected to the power supply current and NOT to interrupt by running the update of the BIOS.

  • Lenovo X 60-Cause: BIOS updated has failed, result: cell death

    I work in a company as IT Manager and during an update of a laptop Lenovo X 60 Type: 1707-CTO using "system update" application, in the middle of the process stopped BIOS flashing / crashed before the end and now the laptop don't boot/boot (black screen on startup and nothing more).

    I think it of a stupid idea a process updated BIOS with Windows application and is the first time that I use this 'system' update and for sure the last!

    Now, back to my problem... the laptop is out of warranty, so I need to find a solution to put the laptop working again.

    My simple question is... What is the best way/solution? I can reflash the BIOS again? How? Can I replace the BIOS physically? How?

    In advance, thank you for your help.

    Best regards

    Well, the problem is solved... I've created a Frankenstein laptop

    Accidentally, a user has dropped a laptop Thinkpad X 61 and broke the screen, so I remove the mainboard that laptop and assemble in the chassis of the X 60 BIOS problem. The fingerprint do not work, but the laptop is functional.

    I think that Lenovo equipment are good machines, must, they must improve this point of flashing the BIOS. It's ridiculous to put a good laptop off service, only a bad update without fault of the user.

    Thank you guys for your answers!

  • Use the screen 40 ": recent update has made the contents of the toolbar too small to read. How can I adjust size of point tool bar?

    Currently uses version 3.6.13, and for about 2 updates ago, content in my toolbar has been reduced in size so that it is very difficult to believe at a distance of 6 feet. Previously, he was much bigger and easier to see.

    I fiddled with the settings under Tools > Options > content menu, but nothing is working. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Increase the chain pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to discover what works best.

    In current versions of Firefox this pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely.

  • BIOS update has not stopped startup Satellite P850 for Win7

    Updated the BIOS on the site of Toshiba Australia yesterday which now prevented me Win 7 start.

    There was no apparent problem with the update or flash. I can't be in the settings of the BIOS using F12 and the start-up operation stops at the Win logo then the screen turns white. Tried to boot from a drive under Win 7 without success. Even tried to take out the hard drive.

    I suspect that Win 7 charges because I see the NumLock on the keyboard light is on but I don't see anything on the screen. Repeatedly, he performs an operation of disk check which is visible, but can't find any error. In my opinion, a problem occurred during the process of flash and I have no idea how fix it.

    Any advice would be much appreciated

    Hello

    To access the BIOS, you will need to press the F2 key instead of the F12 key.
    In the BIOS disable secure boot option and set the startup mode MSC mode
