Cannot update BIOS on Satellite A665

Hi
I desperately need help with updating my BIOS on Satellite A665 as my battery is not charging and the site says for me to update BIOS but it is not letting me update saying battery is less than 10%.
Please someone help me as I have no way of using the laptop without AC power always present.

Hi
What is your current battery level?
I think the BIOS update will prevent updating if the battery level is too low - this is a security feature.
In case your battery will not charge please try to disconnect it wait a second or two. Then connect it again.
Still the same?
If so please let us know which BIOS version is in your system today.
Thanks
Tom

  • Cannot update BIOS on Satellite L40-14H

    Hi, guys!
    I`m actually use L40-14H notebook with 5.40-WIN BIOS (for XP). When returned to Vista x64 I try several times to update BIOS to 1.90-WIN (for Vista) in Windows mode, but nothing...
    Any ideas how to do that without USB floppy?

    Hi,
    Just nothing, only Command Prompt screen splash for a second and nothing more. Although account is Administrator I use "Run as administrator option", but no difference - no errors, no messages.
    Possible is not working in Vista x64, I don`t know...
    Do you know the difference between 5.40-WIN (for XP) and 1.90-WIN (for Vista)?
    PS: Sorry for my english. :)

  • Cannot update BIOS on Satellite Pro C

    Hi
    I have no idea what notebook or system you are using but according to the error message you have used wrong BIOS.
    The error message BIOS version above 1.90 means that your notebook is already flashed with a higher and newer version.

  • 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 .

  • 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!!!!

  • Cannot update BIOS anymore

    Hello, i cannot update my BIOS anymore and i need some help, here is what happened: i bought this laptop somewhere in 2011 and i bought Windows 7 (i accidentaly got 32bit instade of 64bit because i forgot that in this laptop is 64bit cpu) and near the end of 2011 or at begining of 2012 i installed BIOS update from HP support assistant, and in 2013 (i think) i got notification from HP support assistant about new BIOS update and i tried to update it but i couldnt run setup because my 300GB local disk C and 2GB HP_tools F disks were both totaly full so i gave up but now in 2015 i remembered about that update and i cleaned my disks and opened HP support assistant and checked for updates but it dosent give me option to update my BIOS anymore, please help.
    If you need my computer specs let me know.
    Sorry for my bad English.
    Please reply.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You're welcome.
    There are several bios versions listed between your current one and the update I linked to, however most of these just add support for newer models - HP bios updates are cumulative, so any fixes/enhancements etc in previous versions will be applied by installing the latest.
    However, I don't believe the update will give you the option of disabling (ie Fixed Mode) the Intel gpu - in fact, the only real benefit of upgrading to this bios version is if you're considering running Windows 8 as it adds support for Windows 8 'wireless button' control.
    On balance and if everything is working Ok at the moment, you may well be best advised not to upgrade ( unless you're considering Windows 8 ) - if you do decide to update, flashing back to your current version from a much later revision may not be possible ( this can be blocked if there's a known issue with reverting ).
    At the end of the day, flashing the bios always carries a small risk.
    Best regards,
    DP-K

  • Update BIOS on Satellite A30-303

    Having a Satellite A30-303.
    With no work intern DVD.
    Having a boot able usb DVD.
    I wonder if I can update Bios from Ubuntu . I need do execute a .exe.
    Or if I can take a boot disk and execute the file from DOS.

    Hi!
    For the Satellite A30 is only a windows based BIOS update available.
    I think that will not work on Ubuntu and you must install Windows to make this update.
    Normally on Windows systems you must download the BIOS Update, extract the file .exe file and start it. That is all.

  • Cannot upgrade BIOS on Satellite P30-145

    Hi anyone,
    just inherited a P30-145 notebook,cannot upgrade the bios.When I run the file, I get the message" bios upgrade rom wrong size!"and then the installer shuts off. How do I upgrade? I'm doing everything right according to the website.
    Just one thing, the original restore disk was not available, so I installed a standard XP and upgraded drivers as necessary from the Toshiba site.

    Hi
    Try the BIOS 1.40 from the Toshiba US driver page:
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/downloadDetail.jsp?soid=1236378&pf=true
    The BIOS is for Satellite P30 PSP30U. It the same series like the European notebook series PSP30E.
    Download the exe file and save it on desktop. Then create an folder and unzip the sp35v14.exe file to this new created folder.
    Now go to this folder and inside this folder you will find some files.
    Read the readme.txt file to get full instruction how to update the BIOS.

  • Thinkpad A30: Cannot update BIOS

    Hi,
    I have a Thinkpad A30 2652-3WG BIOS v1.03, which I recently revived, installing Windows XP SP3.
    I noted that the graphics driver required BIOS v1.14 or higher. Having an old BIOS v1.03, I downloaded BIOS v1.19 and tried to update.
    But no matter what I do, whether I choose the floppy or non-floppy version, or even an older BIOS: When I get to the point where I answer "Yes" to start the BIOS update procedure, I get the error:
    "System program update is currently disabled. The process has been canceled."
    I have checked through all options in the Bios setup, as well as in the Thinkpad Configuration tool in the Control Panel, but I cannot find any settings for enabling/disabling Bios updates. The only think I've found, is an option to enable update through LAN, which is enabled by default.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!

    Welcome to the forum!
    A complete shot in the dark on my part, but doesn't cost you anything to try: remove the CMOS (BIOS) battery for an hour, and the main battery at the same time. Keep the machine unplugged throughout this period of time.
    Before doing all of the above, please make sure that no Supervisor or BIOS passwords are enabled, so you don't get locked out of the system. 
    Plug everything back and see how it goes.
    Good luck and let us know.

  • Problem with updating bios toshiba satellite l655-s5144

    Hello first of all having a good day, four months ago a problem with my laptop toshiba satellite l655-5144 I have something crazy ,happens that when starting Windows 7/8 freezes there and I can not access windows, I thought it was an error of hdd, but I think I'm surprised that it is not, since changing the hdd and still gives the same problem of being paralyzed in Home windows, all this began to update the BIOS to version 2.8 that turned out to be the operating profit that was for windows 8, not sure if this is due to the problem but I've tested the ram, hdd, cpu, etc and everything about the hardware works well and gives no problems, I think that the problem was caused by updating the BIOS to version 2.8, my question is whether you can return to the factory version was 2.2, or at least the previous version to 2.8 which was the one I worked thanks for your answers and spend time helping me, is the agradesco much.
    And sorry for my bad English.

    1.Find BIOS version with which acquired the laptop
    2. Use of mnetodo booted by CD.
    3. Insert the CD from the boot.
    4. Upon resumption of the program ran hidden PC (that I saw no message)
    5. After restart, windows restart again and enter the bios to see if it had changed the version of this and it turned out was successful.
    Well I hope this problem the laptop again, and thank you for deigning to read at least my problem.

  • Re: Unable to update BIOS on Satellite A660

    My Toshiba Satellite A660 laptop's (psaw3a-07t00r) harddrive failed so i bought a new one (WD500BEVT) when i put it in the laptop and try to install windows it tells me
    "This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk, ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in computer's Bios menu"
    In the bios the only option i could find related is the SATA Controller Mode which when changed to Compatibility it will not boot from the disk and just shows a blank screen.
    So i thought i would update the bios, i borrowed a harddrive from a friend and installed windows to it along with all the current drivers and toshiba programes but when i try to update the BIOS it tells me
    The programe will be closed
    There is an error occured, Please check below items.
    Bios version is above 230.
    Battery capacity more than 20%.
    AC is attached
    So i'm not sure what the issue is as i have the power attached and that battery is full.

    Hi xaver
    Thank you so much for your reply.
    I bought the laptop second hand and it had a seagate 160gb harddrive in it i forget the model number. i dont see any reason why the new harddrive will not work :( as it works fine in my friends laptop which is the one i'm using the current harddrive from.
    Yes i have tried setting defaults and also other solutions found on the microsoft website that did not help at all :(
    Anyway i will buy a different harddrive, can you suggest one?
    Also i am very interested in why the bios update will not work could this be a problem with the computer?
    Thanks, Paul

  • Update Bios on Satellite A-205 S5880

    I have Windows Vista on a Satellite A-205 S5880 notebook.  I have a Windows 7 CD, that I'm trying to install.  I get to a point, where it says, that I need a Drive Device Driver, so I went in on Toshiba downloads for my laptop, and downloaded, and installed all the Drivers they have, well, that still isn't working, so I have been reading about Bios, and how that may need to be updated, since it is on the Motherboard, and that is what runs the computer.  Can anyone please help me?  I need other options to do, or just the find an update on Bios. I have a vista home premium, a 2008 Toshiba. Thank you, I would really appreciate any info.

  • Re: Cannot update BIOS from 1.5 to 1.6 on Tecra T 9100

    I have problems with updating the BIOS of my Tecra 9100. The current version is 1.5, and I want to update it to 1.6, so that the UJ-820 DVD-RAM will work.
    I have tried to do with the windows tool within the Zip-File (error message: User does not have administrator privileges), and with bootdisk (error message: unknown chipset).
    What can I do next?

    Hi
    First of all the BIOS update will not help you to solve the CD/DVD drive IDE #1 issue.
    Secondly I assume you are using the Win XP and if you want to update the BIOS you have to do this from running Win XP!
    Furthermore I read in different threads that the Common Modules must be installed in order to start the BIOS update procedure.
    PS: Check if you could start the BIOS exe file using right click and choosing Run as
    Then you could choose the Admin account.
