thank you and i hope i get what i'm looking for i wanna reset this laptop and just download latest drivers

> i re-install windows every few months to keep the laptop fresh and fast
Many people think the same but especially fast has mostly nothing to do with BIOS update. If everything works well why to change anything and risk something.
My notebook is 3 years old and I use it still with original BIOS. No problems at al. Anyway, I think you should contact nearest Toshiba service provider and explain the situation. Be clear and tell them that you are not happy now and you want to have old BIOS version again. They have access to BIS database and can obtain older version for you.

How to downgrade BIOS on Tecra S11 - annoying CPU

I have a BIOS which is "solve" the High pitched noise problem about the i5 CPU.
But I have the latest BIOS and since then I cannot downgrade to the older BIOS that "solves" the problem.
*My question is how to downgrade BIOS?*
Because I will not send my Toshiba to RMA any more because they will not repair it!!!
My Tecra S11 went to RMA 2 and 2 different Toshiba authorized service partner for about 1 month. None of them repaired my laptop! Most annoying thing is that hungarian services are absolute useless!! I have a 2 year old issue with the CPU high pitched noise.
They did not replaced the faulty CPU, they replaced the motherboard!!! for no reason. OMG!
Be very careful when you buy Toshiba laptop in Hungary, and its not the Toshiba's fault but the authorized service partners!!
Please Toshiba do something!

Hi
I assume youve got a Tecra S11 PTSE3E
The BIOS for Tecra S11 is compatible with Tecra M11 and Tecra A11
On the Toshiba USA driver page you can find all BIOS versions
The BIOS for Tecra A11-S3541 PTSE3U series should be compatible with Tecra S11 PTSE3E series.
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp
Choose Tecra A11-S3541 and download the BIOS version you want to install.
Unzip the package and check the readme.txt
There you can find info how to flash the BIOS using tradition BIOS version.
I think the win-based BIOS version would not function because youve got already the newest BIOS version installed.
But in my opinion you should not downgrade the BIOS because it looks like many fixes has been added to the new version

How to recover Bios on Satellite A300

How to recover bios on satellite A300 laptop?

> Somebody told me that the bios must have infected and asked me to rewright the bios.
So this someone hasn't got much savvy.
Sorry mate but this issue has nothing to do with BIOS. BIOS is saved on the ROM module the virus cannot affect the ROM module since it needs to be flashed and I dont think that this a case on your notebook.
You just deleted something in registry?? Im afraid this is not enough to get rid of a virus
The best solution is to format the HDD and to reinstall the system once again
Use the recovery disk because the recover would delete all partitions and would reinstall the system, drivers and tools again

Satellite P100-324: How to downgrade BIOS to version 2.40

I have the Toshiba Satellite P100-324 with BIOS version 3.30. I need to downgrade BIOS to version 2.40 because it help with stuttering problem when playing games on Windows Vista. But the problem is the version 2.40 is unavailable at Toshiba Europe website (I'm from Russia). I have found this version (one mate gave it to me), but it is for P105 models (US version).
The question is - can I use US version of BIOS 2.40 for my european P100? Is it compatible?

Hi guys
I found this very interesting discussion and I have to clarify something.
You dont need to update the BIOS to another version to play the different games on the Vista OS.
The games couldnt run properly due to the Vista OS.
Several weeks ago Microsoft has published and hotfix which solves some problems with the Multi GPU support on Vista. It was useful for users which use the gamer computer with 2 GPUs
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B936710
Now the Microsoft has published and patch which solves the problems with the virtual address space usage. This was a reason why some games crashed or didnt run smoothly.
Virtual address space usage in Windows game development

Hope it helps!!!
Ps: on this page you will find a interesting discussion regarding the gaming on Vista OS

How to upgrade BIOS on Satellite A80?

Hello to all..
Just got this dynabook TX or Satellite A80 and reformatted it to English from Japanese text, my new OS is XP.
How to update the BIOS?
What is the use of updating it?
Do I need to update all of its utilities?
Thanks in advance for your reply...

Hi
First of all you have to check if the Toshiba drivers published on the European drive page support the A80 series which you have.
The drivers on the page are designed for PSA80E series.
If you have changed the OS to English version I need specific XP drivers;
> How to update the BIOS?
You should first check if the BIOS is compatible, then you can perform the BIOS update OS. You have to execute the BIOS file in Windows OS.
> What is the use of updating it?
This Bios Update adds increased functionality to your system.
> Do I need to update all of its utilities?
If you need all, you have to install all.
Bye

How to update BIOS on Satellite L40-13G

Hello everybody!!
I want to update my BIOS, but doesn't know how to do it. I looked instruction on a site:
Option 2: Update with CD-ROM
1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
2. In the temporary folder three sub folders will be generated. "docs", "Update - 3,5' Disk", "Update - CD-R or CD-RW"
3. How to make a bootable CD-ROM please read the *.pdf file in the "docs" folder.
4. Ensure the Notebook is connected to the mains.
5. Turn the Notebook off.
6. Place the CD-ROM containing the BIOS upgrade in the optical disk drive.
7. Turn the Notebook on with the F12 key.
8. The BIOS boot menu appears. Select CD/DVD or the CD-ROM symbol using the arrow keys. Press "Enter".
9. The Notebook will boot from the BIOS upgrade CD-ROM.
10. A boot menu appears. Select the point for update the BIOS by using the arrow keys. Press "Enter".
11. The BIOS update process starts. Do not switch off the notebook during update.
12. If the update process is finished follow the instruction on the screen.
Downloaded such update of bios: bios-20070904123621.zip
Page with update file: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_bios.jsp
Then I decompressed zip,.. and didn't see three directories, which written about in instruction (from above).
Help please, what I must to do. Or how to update my BIOS?
Thank you!

Listen Alexey!!
At this time you can find the BIOS 2.20-WIN for Satellite L40 on the Toshiba European driver page.
This is a *windows-based* version of the BIOS. Its *NOT* traditional BIOS version.
In such case you cannot update the BIOS using a diskette or CD. The BIOS update must be performed while the OS is running!!
However, the BIOS update is tricky and always RISKY!!! If you have no problems with your notebook, dont update anything!!!
The wrong BIOS or wrong BIOS update procedure can damage the board!!!!

Hi Flobelix, i want to downgrade to the original bios...i think it is the fisrt one - 7680vP0.
That is a very bad idea. A first release bios does not include any fixes that were implemented after identification of issues in normal use.
Indeed Pentium G640 can't be run with higher speeds than 1066 which is the cpu limitation. On these locked cpus higher speeds also can't be set.

Hi Chike, i changbed for a 8gb stick (total it is 12Gb = 8 +4)
Mixing memory is also a very bad idea and might rather be the reason for issues than the bios version.
What is by the way the version you are currently using?

How to access BIOS on Satellite L670-134

Hi there,
i need to access the BIOS but i dont know the key combination.
Tried F1 F2 DEL Backspace etc none worked.
I think i turned an option like fast boot on once before... when i turn on the laptop i cant see any postscreen, the screen stays black after turning the laptop on and then the windows logo appears.
So how do i access the BIOS!?

Hi buddy,
If you enable this fast boot option you must be very quick to enter the BIOS so press F2 key immediately after you turned on your notebook.
Alternative you can access the BIOS using preinstalled Toshiba HWsetup. The fast boot option you can also disable/enable with this tool as far as I know.

Downgrade bios on Satellite A665-S6065

Hi there, my Satellite A665-S6065 has been showing performance/timing problems with some real time 3D applications. I was suggested to run the bios and disable HPET, CPU Enhanced Halt, EIST, Cool n'Quiet, C3/C6, and hiperthreading, but this can't be done from the Phoenix Secure Core Tiano Setup bios. I believe problems have been happening since the last bios update, so my question is what it will happen if I run the bios installation program for the previous bios version. I have installed bios ver 2.30 and I downloaded the installatino program for bios ver 2.20. Thanks in advance.

Not Recommended , if its already installed then you need to deal with it , you will be like hitting the moon for such process , i dont really know the exact solution but since its still just the software issue then why dont you just try to re-install the operating system .
