Does Toshiba supports an BIOS Update Utility like DCCU?

Hi all
Different notebook manufacturer use a utility called the Client Configuration Utility (DCCU) which can be used to update the BIOS for multiple notebook models from the series.
I have searched these forums and the web but I cannot find a similar tool for Toshiba laptops.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks
Scott

> My firm has hundreds of laptops from another large manufacturer who do supply the DCCU utility to centrally manage BIOS updates and other BIOS settings, such as enabling/disabling options like Wake On LAN.
Well, the Toshiba provides a tool called Toshiba HWSetup. Using this tool you can change the different BIOS settings like booting order, wake up on LAN, etc very easily in the Windows OS.
As you know BIOS update is always risky and the BIOS update procedure is not always the same on all Toshiba notebooks series. The wrong BIOS or wrong update procedure can damage the motherboards ROM.
Therefore the BIOS update must be done on single notebook.
> Why is it that this particular manufacturer can create the DCCU utility that works for all machine models and Toshiba cannot produce a similar utility please?
Who knows ?:| I didnt find such informations in the internet or on the Toshiba page Such questions can be answered by a Toshiba technician or Toshiba manager but as you probably dont know this is a user-to-user forum and a simply user like me and you dont know such details In my personal opinion every manufacturer have own policies and restrictionsThat's all
Best regards

  • BIOS update utility does not run

    I am on an IBM-branded T42, model 2378-EXU. My current BIOS level is 3.13 (1RETDHWW). I have XP Professional with all service packs and updates installed and up to date.
    I am trying to update to the latest BIOS of 3.23 (1RETDRWW).
    I downloaded the BIOS update utility file 1ruj37us.exe from the Lenovo support & downloads site. I copied it to a temp directory on my hard drive. I disconnected my computer from the dock, have it on AC power, have a fully charged battery. I have shut down all other applications and my antivirus software. I have followed all other instructions on the site verbatim.
    When I run the exe file, it starts up in Windows as expected. I run through all the confirmation screens and tell it to start the BIOS update. As I understand it, the next thing should be automatic startup of a DOS utility that does the actual work. Instead, as soon as I hit the final confirmation on the Windows utility, it shuts down Windows and restarts the computer. The BIOS does not get updated. I have confirmed this through system utilities (the Thinkpad system information) and by interrupting startup and verifying the BIOS information in the configuration utility. I have also tried reloading BIOS to default in order to reinitialize it.
    I have done these steps at least four times now. My computer doesn't update and the update utility never fires up the workhorse part of the functionality. It just goes straight to system restart.
    Can you offer any suggestions?

    I have started the exe utility from a DOS window by manually typing in the name, I have started it from the RUN dialog box, and I have started it by double-clicking it from the Windows Explorer. In all cases it starts up the Windows application portion just fine. I get all the initial warning messages and confirmation messages. But as soon as I get to the "do it now button" (click Next to update your BIOS), it just immediately shuts down and restarts my computer without doing the flash update.

  • ThinkVantage Toolbox does not run after BIOS update

    Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update Tool on my T410 ThinkPad (2518EWG) offered me download and installation of ThinkPad BIOS Update Utility US version 1.28-1.11.
    Since then,  whenever I try to run Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox I receive a message: „This version of Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox is not licensed to run on this system“.
    I notice that the ThinkVantage Toolbox still shows the old BIOS No. 6IET49WW (1.09), while the updated BIOS is 6IET68WW (1.28).
    Any comprehensible instruction how to solve the problem for a computer layman will be much appreciated. Thanks - Jan

    I have at least found out why this happened, the program obtained from Toshiba automatically 'attempts' to upgrade the BIOS upon activation. This means that the program engaged with errors without my authorisation. I don't find this very impressive from a company as large and powerful as Toshiba.
    Also it may be possible to fix myself if the BIOS installation instructions made sense, extracting the .zip file does not create three sub folders and pressing the F12 key does not start the laptop.

  • New NF980-G65 with an AMD X6 1090T and the BIOS Update Utility Crashes?

    Last week I received my new NF980-G65 board and with it an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3).  After installing the board and starting it up for the first time I noticed that it reports BIOS version 1.1 and CPU unknown.  Next I downloaded the BIOS update to version 1.3 from msi, made a boot USB stick and powered up again.  System will not boot from USB.  I tried now over 20 different sticks from 256MB to 64GB and none of them worked!
    Went back to my old system and ripped its floppy drive out to install it in the new computer.  Had to go to RadioShack since I have not touched a floppy in over 10 years, but they had some on clearance.  Made me a boot disk, put the new BIOS and install utility on it, booted the system with the floppy, started the BIOS update utility and watched it crash.  When I start it by itself it gives me three screens of options and commands, but as soon as I try to use one of the commands or update the BIOS it keeps crashing.
    What do I have to do to get the BIOS on the NF980-G65 updated so it will run with my AMD X6 1090T processor?
    Thank you in advance for ANY help...

    I am sorry, but I need to work with this thing since I make a living writing code, I do not play with it!  This thing and the support I am getting for it are not worth my time or money!
    What thing are you talking about?  You are experiencing the a certain symptom for which you do not know the cause.  For some strange reason and without any in-depth tests you seem to assume that the board must be the problem (ignoring all other components (for example your factory overclocked memory modules).

    What support have you tried to get that actually has to do anything with money?  Please note that this is not MSI Technical Support but a User-to-User forum, run by users (just like you) that do not get paid for donating their private time to try to help others.  Whatever your level of frustration is in regards to the money spent for your components, please do not use it to insult anyone here in this forum.

  • BIOS update utility - ThinkPad X61, X61s, Reserve Edition Version: 2.20

    BIOS update utility - ThinkPad X61, X61s, Reserve Edition
    A new BIOS update is available on Lenovo site for X61. Is it worth updating and will it solve overheating problem. Please let me know those who tested it.
     http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67982
    Regards.

    I forgot to follow up my own follow up.  The heat problem returned and I was going to send it back again, but realized tech would probably just repack and send it back to me untouched.  I was able to reduce the heat by eliminating much of the bloatware, including several of Lenovo's own utilities.  I monitor it now and find that when running a spyware scan, for example, the heat builds up again.
    I believe the problem is all about hardware constrictions, that is, faster components in an ever-shrinking case.  I blame developers for not implementing better cooling techniques, and am especially critical of the premium sellers like Lenovo for charging as much as they do for mediocre performance.

  • "The files are on a volume that does not support Trash. Would you like to permanently delete the item?"

    This is how I solved it, thanks to combined information posted on forums:
    1. Got a new external hard drive formatted for Mac (I was using read-only Windows from my PC)
    2. Created a folder in new external drive >imported to LR->send to trash- empty trash
    3. The above was still not working until I noticed one day magically the missing picture icon started to show up in LR
    4. I went to the "set as rejected"pictures> locate missing pic (and nearby ones)
    5. Selected the pics -photo>remove> delete from disk
    Done!!!
    Thanks to the hours spent on searching different threads, and to the relentless users because LR never provided any kind of support or formal response to solve this by just letting users to getting lost in frustration .

  • Satellite Pro L100 does not run after BIOS update

    Ok the machine is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4. Problem occurred during a BIOS update from the official Toshiba website. I downloaded the zip file, extracted it and activated the .exe file inside.
    The window opened by the .exe was a BIOS flashing program, the .exe also simultaneously wrote a new BIOS file to a temporary folder.
    When tried to use the program all I got was an error saying that it couldn't find the new BIOS to input.
    I tried again only to get the same error. I then left the laptop for several minutes and when I returned, I found a blank unresponsive laptop.
    By unresponsive I mean an obvious lack of BIOS functions i.e. power LED's not changing when plugging in of unplugging from the mains and the fact that I had to pull the battery out to turn the machine off. When the machine is turned on now all it does is check the drives and restarts (no display, no beeps)
    What do I do?
    The first thing that came to mind was to reset the BIOS.
    One problem, I can't find the RTC battery or a jumper switch.

    I have at least found out why this happened, the program obtained from Toshiba automatically 'attempts' to upgrade the BIOS upon activation. This means that the program engaged with errors without my authorisation. I don't find this very impressive from a company as large and powerful as Toshiba.
    Also it may be possible to fix myself if the BIOS installation instructions made sense, extracting the .zip file does not create three sub folders and pressing the F12 key does not start the laptop.

  • 10.8.3 does not support the Epson Printer Utility.  Now no way to clean or align the heads on my workhorse R2400 printer?

    The Epson Printer Utility 4 still resides in the /HD/Library/Printers/EPSON/inkjetPrinter 2/Utility/UT4 folder but crashes the iMac when run.  I've also lost ability to use the Firewire connection like many others.  Frustrating.  Without being able to align and clean the heads on this printer, it's practically useless.  I have a couple hundred wedding photos to print.  What do I do now?  Rhetorical question ....

    Customers have moved to the Mac platform because they "believed" it's better than Windows. I moved there for this same reason more than five years ago.  Prior to Mountain Lion, I agree MacOS was stable and I could download every update that "pops up as available" in "There's a new update for MacOS" and I would download it without checking the particulars of what was updated.  I trust them, it's Apple.  Everyone would likely chose the same option.
    How many times do you, or anyone else, read all the detail about what gets changed when you download this update and mentally make a decison rather or not to download it?   Most people have no clue what this update changes, like me, and are going to download it because I trust "it" because it came from Apple. I don't want to find out later, and I may not notice this problem until a long time later, that something that used to work doesn't work now.  Is that my shortcoming or is it Apple's problem?
    So what should customers do?  After every update, check to make sure that everything works that used to work?  Impracticle.  I have dozens of apps on my Mac. After every update am I supposed to check that eah one still works?
    I won't go back and install a previous version from the TM and rebuild my Mac.  If Apple dosn't like previously intalled software, like the drivers for my Epson printer, they need to tell me upfront IN BIG BOLD LETTERS without me having to read all the fine print.  They also need to tell me that because THEY CAN'T DEAL WITH MY EPSON PRINTER any longer and I shouldn't download this update and any further updates for MacOS into the future because they have coersed Epson into only allowing Apple to update the drivers for this printer.  What am I supposed to do in the future?  I'm stuck with this old version of MacOS forever?
    You and I both know this won't work.  Apple has to provide support for my Epson R2400 printer and every other device that doesn't work under 10.8.3.  Otherwise they will lose in the end.  Simple as that.  They need to provide support for the devices that people use whatever they are, or suffer the consequences.
    Apple's successes have made them too "cocky" lately.  Microsoft was there at one time.  Maybe Mircosoft will climb back to the mountain top and Apple won't realize it until it's too late.
    Like I said in earlier posts, "Apple needs to fix this problem."  I have no loyalty to anyone except myself and family.

  • 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?

    Quote from: GGMan on 24-May-06, 10:37:33
    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.

  • Tecra A2: display brightness Fn F6+F7 does not work after BIOS update

    Updated bios to 1.40 WIN at end of January. Since then F6 & F7 keys fail to increase or decrease screen brightness. Is this a coincidence or is the bios update the culprit!!??

    Hi
    Usually the BIOS update shouldn't have any bad influence on the Toshiba drivers and the OS performance.
    There must be another reason for the FN key malfunction.
    At first I would suggest to reinstall the common modules. Please check if it will help.

  • Does Firefox support to automatically update flash plug-in?

    I am using Firefox 31.0 and want to know if it supports to automatically update flash plug-in. If it does not, is there any plan to improve this?
    Thanks.

    You can specify flash to update automatically by clicking start on your
    computer then type in flash in start search.
    It should bring up Flash Player,click it then go to Advanced.
    Check the option for : Allow Adobe to install updates.
    It can also be done by right clicking on a flash video,then click global
    settings.

  • Satellite L300 does't run after BIOS update from V2.10 to V2.20

    Hi
    I just installed BIOS V2.20 over the Bios V2.10 for my Toshi Satellite L300 over Windows XP.
    Afterwerwards the Machine starts and shows just the XP starting window and the restart that I have the options save restart or normal restatr.
    Nothing runs any more? Even starting from Windows-CD has no effect.
    Who can help?

    Thanks for you suggestions, but F2 did not help.
    I performed the Bios update because on the website of Toshiba, there was written, hat the update increases function of the system.
    I just called the update service. They mentioned I should reinstall Win XP, because my Computer starts, but Windows is not starting.

  • Satellite C660D-104 does not boot after BIOS update

    Hello,
    I installed the latest bios on my computer Satellite C660D-104 but it has not rebooted.
    Where is the place to do a reset?
    Under the ram I have no triple x or B499
    I can not find, can you help me please?
    Thanks,

    BIOS update failed this means that ROM module (where the BIOS is stored) isnt flashed properly.
    As far as I know such issue could be resolved by flashing the ROM module again using Toshiba BIOS crisis disk.
    I guess Toshiba authorized service provider own such crisis disk and could reflash the ROM

  • Notebook does not start after BIOS Update crash

    Hi all,
    I just want to ask whether is a chance to reactivate my Satellite A300 after a BISO update crash without send it to the Toshiba service.
    I downloaded the new BISO and started it from the Windows menu. After a few seconds my PC crashed and everything was frozen.
    I switched off the PC.
    Now when I press the power button to start the Notebook the monitor is black and I can hear a sound brrr, brrr, brrr from the CD-Rom drive.
    Do you think it is possible to boot from a CD or something like that. Is it possible to reactivate my notebook?
    Your help would be really appreciated!
    Thanks a lot
    Best regards,
    Chotte

    Sorry but if the BIOS chip is damaged there is no much you can do about it. You must contact authorized Toshiba service provider.

  • Bios Update Utility for Linux?
