Bios Update Procedure for Portege 7200CT

Is somebody out there have the proper procedure to update the bios of a Portege 7200CT without the docking station.
Toshiba has posted a procedure in its bulletin but it does not explain how to do the update without the docking station. As everybody knows that the Portege 7200CT has its floppy drive on the docking station and if we follow the Toshiba updating procedure we have to undock the laptop, so how can we proceed with the update if the update software calls for a floppy drive that is on default to drive A:
Hope somebody out there have something to share!!!

Hi,
My Portege 7200CT present bios version is 1.5 and the latest version that is available at Toshiba-USA website is 2.1. I have WinXP Pro SP2 on it and the problem is that the PCMCIA slot does not recognize or detect a PC Card or Cardbus that I plug on it.
I only need to know how to update the bios without the docking station. Or can I update the bios with docking station.
Thanks,

  • U430 BIOS Update Procedure (fixes wake from sleep issue on Windows 8.1)

    Hopefully this will make the BIOS update process a bit easier.  The following steps address two common questions (Failed BIOS Update and the Windows message about improperly configured Secure Boot).  NOTE: After a successful BIOS update you will want to check additional items in the BIOS not directly covered in the steps below (e.g. Intel Virtualization.... the update disabled this for me.)
    U430 BIOS Update Procedure:
    1. Download the BIOS update from Lenovo (it will be in .exe format... the program will install new BIOS).
    2. Shut down computer.
    3. Use the "Novo" button (tiny button on left side near Power button).
    4. Enter BIOS setup.
    5. Under "Security" select "Secure Boot" and choose "DISABLED" (this allows the BIOS update program to work properly).
    6. Under "Exit" select "Exit Saving Changes".
    7. Computer will reboot. Log in to Windows (it will have a message stating "Secure Boot not configured properly" this is expected).
    8. Run the Lenovo BIOS program (this will reboot the computer and you should see an update status screen). Once finished, the computer will reboot. Log in to Windows (the "Secure Boot" message will still be there) and then turn the computer OFF (I've found that turning off the computer from the log-in screen doesn't completely shut down the computer. If that's the case then hold the Power button until it does shut down).
    9. Use the "Novo" button and enter BIOS setup.
    10. Under "Security" make sure "Secure Boot" is ENABLED.
    11. Also under "Security" select "Restore Factory Keys" and hit Enter. Select "YES" (this step along with our previous step will make Windows happy).
    12. Under "Exit" select "Exit Saving Changes" (computer reboots and all should be fine!)

    Hi,
    Generally speaking, this problem should be caused by hardware driver problem. Such as Graphic driver, NIC driver, etc. Please check computer driver edition, make sure  they are compatibility with Windows 8.1.
    Actually, I made a search on Acer official site, the model of your computer doesn't have all hardware driver provided for Windows 8.1. Such as Graphic driver. You can refer to the link below for more details.
    http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
    In my opinion, it would be better to contact ACER, to check whether this serial computer had the same problem with yours.

  • Bios update UEFI for Pavilion dv6-6b13ss

    hello guys,

    thanks,

    Hi @aliens1983 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers and information!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I grasp you are unsure of the exact model notebook  you have as the auto detect states you have the Pavilion dv6-6b13ss but the sticker on the bottom states it is Pavilion dv6 6166ee .
    It is most likely the former as that is what the tool detected after scanning your system for information.
    Here is a link to How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? that may also help to clarify this for you.
    Here is a link to the HP Pavilion dv6-6b13ss Entertainment Notebook PC Support And Drivers where it does list the latest recommended bios update as F.1C.
    I hope this helped.

  • BIOS Update Utility for Win8 x64?

    I need to install a BIOS update available for the H430, but Lenovo doesn't offer an update utility that runs under 64-bit Windows. The instructions in the BIOS download say to download an ISO image file and burn it to a CD. That's fine, but I can't find any such file on the Lenovo site.
    How do I install a BIOS update on an H430 running Win8 x64?

    Hi, when I try to update the BIOS from 1.4 to 1.6 I get the following error message "The image file c:\....\7185v16\AWFL859G.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine" .  The reason I am doing an up date is because its detecting my CPU at 0 revs.  But when i use another scoket on the MB (system fan) it reads it ok.  And when I put the system fan into CPU, its ok as well  .  Hence the Update.  Plus I cant get "live update 3.75" to work as get the following error all the time "service has not started" (not to bothered about this error).  I am currently using XP Pro x64 Edition  .
    Regards
    GGMan
    ok, let me understand. you want to update because the CPU fan shows 0 rpms in BIOS. if you put the system fan on the CPU fan connector, then it shows a correct value for rpms? then the BIOS is not a problem, but the fan is. did you check if the fan was actually spinning or the connector was properly inserted? anyway, have you also checked if the BIOS version you want to flash to contains a fix for your problem? you can see that in the BIOS release notes.
    it seems to me that you are trying to flash with the wrong BIOS. make sure that if you flash, you use the correct one for your mobo.

  • What is new in BIOS v3.0 for Portege R830, R840 and R850 series

    Hi
    Toshiba released updated BIOS version 3.00-WIn on the 11/08/2011.
    Has anybody installed this and/or know what it covers?
    I hesitate to install without knowing what may be altered.
    Many thanks for any comments.

    Hi
    As far as I know Toshiba European driver page does not provide details what has been changed in the new BIOS versions. But I found the Toshiba US driver page and there you can find all the details about the BIOS changes.

  • Satellite U400 - Bios update procedure failed

    Hey Guys,
    I need some help!
    I was updating my works laptop Bios and i had the power cord conected and (no battery, it was at home).
    Anyway we had a blackout right in the middle of when i was doing the up date.
    Now when the computer starts up all the lights come on and there is no display and then a long beep.
    Any ideas on how i can fix this?
    It's still under warenty
    thanks
    Michael

    Hello
    Sounds like that the BIOS update failed because the notebook doesnt start anymore
    How can you fix this? Yourself you cant fix it I think because the ROM module must be reflashed or the mainboard must be exchanged but you can go to the nearest authorized service provider.
    The technicians can check this and repair it. On the Toshiba website you can search for the nearest ASP:

  • Block with more than one table type agurment -  Update Procedure for Block

    Hi,
    I have one form with 3 Block. First Block is single row block, and other 2 are details block . The details balocks are based on the Procedure datasource, because of the complex query conditions. Now my requirement is When Inserting / Updating the Master Block (Single Row Block), I need to get the values in the two details block , because I need to update some other tables also based on these values. I created a procedure with two Table Type parameters (for each details block) , but when I using this procedure as the Update Procedure Name in the block, I am getting the error Only One table type arguement is allowed. Is there any other method to implement this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Rizly,
    A quick summary to make sure I understand your requirements. You have a single row base table master block with two detail blocks that are based on Procedures. When you update the single row base table master block, you need all of the data in the two procedure based detail blocks as there are updates that you have to perform to other tables that use this data. You have created a stored procedure that take two PL/SQL tables as parameters, but you are getting the error that only 1 table parameter is allowed.
    I need to ask you a few questions first. What is your Forms version? The stored procedure you created; are you using this procedure in the "On-Insert, On-Update, On-Delete" triggers or do you call the procedure in one of the Base Table block ("Key-Commit, When-Button-Pressed" or other trigger)? When you modify or add a new Master block record are you adding values to the detail blocks or using values from the previous Master block record?
    If you are using your procedure in the On-Insert, On-Update or On-Delete trigger(s), then based on your description, the error you are receiving is correct. The "On-..." triggers are constrained in that their procedures expect only a single PL/SQL table, Table of Records or Ref Cursor as a parameter. This is a Forms constraint - not a PL/SQL constraint as Forms is expecting you to only perform actions on the block where the "On-..." Trigger is located.
    Perhaps you should consider creating a database Package that has two package specification constructs (Ref Cursor, Table of Records, etc) you can populate from Forms and then simply call the package procedure that will use the Ref Cursors to perform the needed update or inserts.
    Hope this helps.

  • BIOS Updater tool for laptop says it is not comptible with laptop.

    I have a Satelite C855D-S5106, and Toshiba says, when I go through all the dropdown boxes to select my model of laptop, that there are two (one older, one newer) BIOS updates for this laptop. However, when running either update tool, they both give me a notice, stating that they are not compatible with my model of laptop.
    What do I do now?

    The Toshiba service station can also update the bios.
    Your support page is here - Support page
    The newest bios update information:
    Change History
    Version 6.20 - 2013-01-21
    Fixed: System hangs after settings are changed by TSS.
    Added: CER key for a Smart DE issue.
    This shows that it fix's system hangs after settings are changed by TSS (Toshiba service station), That tool shows you what updates are available, then downloads and installs them for you. Because of this I would update the bios though many believe that if its not broke dont fix it when it comes to the bios. 
    The Toshiba service station sometimes will show a bios update that does not apply to your laptop, it went away after a couple of weeks on mine.

    First I don't think you or anyone should put up with having only 3 channel memory when they paid for 4. If the board or CPU are faulty they should be replaced.
    You can start with MemTest86 or MemTest86+. MemTest86 has multi CPU test option that is more real life like, I don't know about MemTest86+, haven't used it for quite long time.
    Before using Prime95, make sure you have CPU/Core temperature monitoring software  such as RealTemp, Core Temp, HWiNFO, or CPUID HWMonitor.
    Prime95, I assume th 64-bit version, but this create a lot of heat, what cooler do you have?
    You can choose to run 6 threads instead of 12, it should be stressfull enough, also you can add the line Code: [Select]
    CpuSupportsFMA3=0 to local.txt to disable FMA3 instructions that are more stressful on the CPU but not necessarily on memory.
    If it is still too hot (>70c) add Code: [Select]
    CpuSupportsAVX=0Do not close the window to stop the test, select exit from the file menu.
    Or you can try OCCT which is all-in-one, stress + monitoring in one program. Select Large Data Set to stress memory. It also runs somewhat cooler than Prime95.
    trust me i agree i talked to msi support and got no help they just kept telling me they know about the issuse and should have a fix for it soon, But yet i have seen many people say they have the same problem over 5 months now.......  So i just talked to amazon and they said no problem they will give me a refund so now i need to find a good board to work with my i7 5820k 2011-3 pcu

    BIOS Recovery Feature
    For AMI BIOS
       1. Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
       2. Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
       3. When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.

  • Neo-FIS2R v1.5 BIOS update procedure went bad!

    Hi all,
    I tried to update my BIOS from v1.4 to v1.5, but something went wrong in the process now my board is completely dead.  First, flashing in WinXP didn't work for me.  However, the system was still intact.  So, I tried to flash in DOS.  Created the DOS disk using the Live Update for the BIOS v1.5 update.  Once the disk booted, got the message that it's okay to reboot.  When I did reboot, my video never came on but the floppy did.  This is strange because I thought I was done flashing.  Anyway, it seemed to load the floppy again and I heard 4 beeps afterwards.  I remember reading that the 4 beeps signals that it's safe to reboot, so I did.  Now, my D-Bracket is stuck at 4 red lights, which is a real bad sign.  Looks my BIOS is completely screwed up!
    My question is, do I have an option to reset the BIOS somehow?  The only option I can find is clearing the CMOS, of course, that didn't help.  Is my board completely dead?  Do I have any recourse?
    Mike

    Hi guys, I'm back!
    Thanks to your recommendation Jocko, I RMA'ed the board and it turned out great because MSI was very fast in fixing and returning the board to me.  They didn't even have my MB for more than a day.  They reflashed BIOS v1.4 for me.  Everything is great now because my machine is working fine again.
    However, it still wasn't easy because I found out that the culprit to all of my problems was the no name 512MB PC3200 memory I was using.  I haven't tried all the different setting permutations for this chip, but I was able to have the machine run fine if I choke the performance by limiting the speed to DDR200.  It's very stupid to run at that speed with such a powerful MB, not to mention spending more money for DDR400 only to run it at DDR200.  This all started because I didn't do enough research (didn't find this board) before buying my parts.  For all my past PC building experiences, I was able to get things working by just buying the right type and speed of memory that matched motherboard specifications; usually, this meant buying the cheapest memory you can find on pricewatch.com.  Boy, did I get a wake-up call with this CPU-Motherboard combo.  I wished I had learned earlier that the way an Athlon 64 CPU manages memory on its own would cause such major compatibility issues.  Now that I explained how I screwed up buying a no-name chip, here's what happened:
    When I got my board back from MSI, I was able to get into the BIOS (v1.4) settings and limit the memory speed to DDR200.  My system booted fine.  I proceeded to update to the latest v1.6 BIOS thinking that since my machine is all fixed, I should go to the latest version on everything.  This is where the problem happened.  Once the flash was complete in WinXP, I restarted the machine and POW!  It's dead again!  You can imagine how I felt then  The only difference is that this time, the MB still had enough capability to read my floppy for a reflash of the BIOS.
    It appears to me that whatever they changed after v1.4 (my original problem started when I flashed v1.5, which is no longer available) revoked that chance for the user to adjust memory speed; a must for users with memory compatibility issues.  It just freezes at "early chipset initialization" according to the D-Bracket.  By the way, I tried clearing the CMOS numerous times also to no avail.  Since I was able to flash a new BIOS using floppy recovery, I went back to BIOS v1.4 and I cleared the CMOS.  I thought that would get me back to where I was before.  The strange thing was it didn't help at all!
    I'm sure you guys are fed up reading my story up to this point, you can imagine how I felt.  So, I decided to solve this problem once and for all by buying a chip that is known to work well with this MB.  I bought one Kingmax MPXC22D-38 512MB DDR400-PC3200 chip.  Now, my headaches are gone since everything is working fine again.  By the way, I haven't had a chance to optimize the memory speed settings yet.  If anyone has the Kingmax DDR400 optimal settings for the FIS2R, Tiresmoke , I would greatly appreciate some help.  I'm tired of messing with JBAT1 and clearing my CMOS!
    Thanks for everyone's help.  I truly appreciate it.

    [Notebook->Qosmio->Qosmio F series->Qosmio F50|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=EU]
    Message was edited by: kirekk

    Qosmio F50-10k belongs to the PQF55E series.
    If you want to update the BIOS you will have to use the BIOS exactly for the F50 PQF55E series.
    The Toshiba European driver page provides BIOS for Vista 32bit and 64bit OS.
    But this does not mean that you cannot use the Win XP
    I think you can use the Win XP but fact is that the BIOS has been optimized for Vista and not for XP
    The BIOS update should work also using XP but in some very rare cases the update could not be performed and in such case you will need the Toshiba preinstalled OS in order to update the BIOS

  • Searching for BIOS Update (UEFI) for HP 650 - need the right Version

    Hey there,
    my Bios is broken and for recovering I need:
    BIOS Update Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)
    for HP 650
    Can someone help me?

    Thanks for the information. It does help.
    If you removed the original partitions then you are correct, UEFI is no more. That is why the Startup menu does not appear.
    You will need to use the recovery disk set or USB thumbdrive media that you created and put aside. That was your plan "b". Booting into Recovery Manager and performing a factory image recovery will restore the original partitioning scheme and the UEFI environment.
    There does exist a possibility of recovering a BIOS.
    Put a BIOS ROM file on the root of a USB thumbdrive formatted in FA32.
    Plug it into a USB port.
    Plug in the power adapter and verify that the power led is lit.
    Press the Power button and hold the Windows key and tap the "B" key
    Your notebook may recover the BIOS at that point.
    There is no guarantee that this will work. You may end up having  to send it in to HP to recover the BIOS and operating system.
    I will edit this and supply a link to a BIOS right here.  Use the F.12 version on this page. You will need Winrar or winzip or 7zip to extract it from the softpaq and copy to the thumbdrive.
