How to upgrade SSD firmware without the CD drive?

Hello
I have a X300 (6478-1HP) with the optional battery instad of the CD-ROM drive. That drive just stopped working, it just can't read dics anymore. I'm happy with my Samsung USB CD-ROM, runs great.
But how can I upgrade my SSD drive with the new firmware just released? The readme.txt states that we should not use USB drives to do it. What now? Anyone tried already?
Thanks,
Rebêlo.

You HAVE to have access to a Computer to upgrade your iPad.  You can NOT do it thru 3G/WiFi.  That is why you are getting that message.
Hope this helps

  • How to upgrade handheld firmware to the most available recent version

    Hi,
    I have a BB 8800 (T-Mobile) and I tried to update current firmware (4.2.1.101) to the recent OS version. I went to the T-Mobile site and found that there was older version (4.2.1.74) than installed on my handheld.
    So, I did the following. I checked all carries on this page and found that Orange UK offers handheld version 4.5 for BB8800.
    I downloaded handheld 4.5 software from Orange UK site. Installed it on my PC.
    Deleted the VENDOR.XML file located at:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\VENDOR.XML
    After that I connected my handheld to the PC and ran Blackberry Desktop Manager.
    And it upgraded my handheld OS to the 4.5.0.52

  • HT201304 How do I install apps without the  app store

    How do I install apps without the  app store

    This is an issue not to be taken lightly. I just upgraded to Mavericks. My two favorite amateur radio apps will not launch because they did not come from the App Store. There must be a way to make them work. Come on, let's have it. Ohh, the apps: DVTool for DStar Radio operation, and echomac for amateur radio repeater connection from a Mac. These are essential amateur radio applications used in emergency radio communications ... ARES.

  • How to Upgrade PowerBook Firmware( All Hardwares )

    How to Upgrade PowerBook Firmware( All Hardwares )?
    Thank U in advance

    If there is a firmware upgrade available for your model of PowerBook, it will appear when your run Software Update and also be listed at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    Then you download the installer and run it. Usually you have to do something like hold down the Command key and Power button while you're restarting.
    Firmware updates don't come along very often. The last one I can remember installing was for my B&W G3. The last firmware upgrades I can see listed for a PowerBook were for the 550MHz or 667MHz G4s back in 2002.
    Is there a specific reason why you're asking about firmware upgrades?

    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

    You can use any computer but your data will be lost if you have no backup.

    My iPod touch isn't being recognized by my pc. The lock button on it won't work due to water damage, and a friend of mine fixed the problem by restoring it on his computer. How do I restore it without the lock button?

    first try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    next
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc

    1a)  Here is very useful article from PCWorld.com. The article is entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" and means just what it says. The article also has links to Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder and legitimate Windows 7 ISOs from Digital River, a licensed distributor of Microsoft software. The article lists "Step 1" as;
    "Find your Windows 7 product key: Typically this 25-character alphanumeric string is printed on a sticker affixed to your PC or on documentation included with your PC. Alternatively, you can use a keyfinder program such as Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to pull your product key from the Registry. You need your product key to reinstall Windows."
    1b)  Using a key finder, however, is only useful if the Windows 7 product key was printed on a sticker (Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity) affixed to your PC, on documentation included with your PC, or sent via email by Microsoft. Assuming your computer came from one of the big brand computer manufacturers... HP, Sony, Dell, Gateway, etc... as most do, it uses a generic "mass activation" OEM SLP key. Trying to use this key by itself isn't going to work. This OEM SLP key needs to be mated with an OEM SLP certificate and an appropriate OEM BIOS with a proper SLIC table.
    1c)  Here is where ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support comes to the rescue. Follow the "How to use it" section of ABR for Windows Vista for information and instructions on how to use ABR. The steps listed for Vista apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" to "backup" and save the OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate. Save the entire ABR folder to an external location for later use. This will allow you to pre-activate your "clean" Windows 7 install on the computer you pulled the key and certificate from.
    1d)  Now install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7" disc or USB stick, following all prompts as needed. Don't enter a Windows 7 product key if request. Also, don't allow Windows to try to auto-activate. Once Windows is fully installed, run ABR "activation restore" to "restore" the previously backed up product key and certificate to the new Windows 7 install. Verify that Windows is activated, repeat "activation restore" if needed.
    2)  Here is another useful article, this time from SevenForums.com. This arcticle is entitled "Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7" and provides detailed steps required to backup your computer, audit current hardware and software, locate software and drivers, install and activate Windows 7, and create a Windows 7 Backup Image of your fresh install.
    Good luck.
    Links to additional Windows 7 SP1 "Editions" and "Languages" can be found HERE and HERE.
    Link to "ei.cfg Removal Utility". The "ei.cfg Removal Utility" is a simple tool that will remove the ei.cfg  from any Windows ISO disc image, thereby converting the image into a "universal disc" that will prompt the user to select an edition during setup instead of being forced to use different discs for different versions of Windows 7.

    ervis,
    Before formatting the hard drive you should have been able to use the HP Recovery Manager to create your recovery discs or perform a system recovery. This is provided the recovery partition wasn't already corrupt or damaged. If the "D:" HP Recovery partition is missing or damaged and you don't have a set of HP Recovery Discs, you will need to use the information in my previous post to get your computer up and running again.
    The information in the document referred you to applies to several different "types" of installations;
    Using ABRbeta is only needed if you have an active OEM factory SLP (system locked preactivated) installation of Windows. You use ABR to pull the factory key and certificate off the computer, to reuse it on the same computer with a clean Windows install.
    If you are just installing Windows and are going to use the Windows 7 product key on the COA on the side of your computer, all you need to do is download the same version of Windows that your key is for and burn the ISO. Now install Windows answering or following all prompts as needed (except do not enter the Windows product at this time... it will be entered later). Once Windows has completely installed, enter the key and activate it. Your Windows 7 OA key should work on a SP1 install without issue.
    The only thing I see that could mess things up, is the language of the install. If you are still having trouble activating Windows, please reference the ISO you download and a post a photo of your Windows COA
    with the key erased or Xed out.
    Please send KUDOs

    The serial number does not help you track it. You can't track it without Find my iPod. If you did have Find my iPod, I have no doubt the thief disabled it by now. So it's gone.

  • Why are two pages yoked when I prepare a newsletter in Pages?  How can I delete one without the other?

    Why are two pages yoked when I prepare a newletter?  How do I delete one without the other?

    They are all part of one Section. Just as you do not (hopefully) rip pages out at random from books, the pages of a Section are linked by the text that flows from one to the other.
    If you want to move or delete particular page/s Insert a Section Break at the end of the page before.
