Looking for firmware update instead replacing hardware!

I have bought lenovo g500 laptop and windows 7 x64 installation cd but unfortunately I encountered problems with internet worm attack obviously because I didn't install any software except necessary drivers,internet browsers etc.My PC is acting with delay on opening programs,I even can't complete system restore.I did two reinstalls of OS but the PC works well only with install interface and all is like that untill I connect internet.So I think there is a downloader-program inserted into some hardware chip firmware.Is there any chance a skilled member on the forum can help me.

It sounds like you got hit by a root kit. This will take some effort to fix, but there is a few things to try. First thing to do is reset the BIOS by removing AC power and Battery, then press and hold the power key for 30 seconds. Replace battery then AC adapter.
Once BIOS defaut process completes:
Download and run Malwarebytes Anti Rootkit Link to download page (english)
Unpack to desktop, run program.
When the scan completes, quarentine all malware found, then let it reboot the computer.
Repeate as needed until clean blil of health.
Once completed, slect tools and run Fix Damage app.
Once this has completed, download and install AVAST Free, register (no cost) and pull in latest updates. Download and run CCleaner as well. Also handy to have on hand is Malwarebytes Free, an ondemand Malware scan and removal tool - think penecillin shot.
Good luck.

Looking for firmware 7.1

I'm looking for firmware 7.1 for the Airport Extreme.
It seems that my networkproblems started when I updated my firmware...this is where it all goes wrong.
Trying to check out where the problem really lies I want to re-install firmware 7.1. Unfortunately I cant seem to find it in download anywhere. Does anyone know where I can download it (preferabely a link).
thanks

There's a great article I found on macfixit about how to do this- not sure if it works once the firmware is downloaded (trying now):

Lync Phone Edition and wpad.dat - using proxy for firmware updates

Our Lync Phone Edition devices seem determined to use our proxy server for firmware updates, even though the server is directly accessible.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround?
The phones are learning of the wpad.dat file via DHCP 252. The wpad file has several rules that should be causing a bypass but none is taking effect. The proxy is dropping the traffic because it doesn't match a rule.

I do not have those options set in DHCP because we do not use these as PIN-authenticated phones. The phone is registering fine and is learning the correct URL:

Are you saying that the phone will bypass the proxy if it learns the server name via DHCP but it will use the proxy (and ignore the local names list in wpad.dat) if it learns the name via DNS-based discovery and SIP registration?

Looking for firmware 1.00.06 for zen touch

Hi, I'm looking for firmware version .00.06 (especially the non-european version) to get rid of the broken EQ issue. My current version is .0.03. The only link for a download I've found is http://touch.evilmonkeh.co.uk/ and it seems to be broken.
Could anybody tell me where I can get it elsewhere? Might be of interest to others, too. If nobody can come up with an answer, maybe somebody's got it backed up on their comp and could send it to me?
Thanks a lot!

Finally found it. Has anybody downgraded from .0.03 to .00.06? Is there really a significant difference in the EQ?

my iphone 4 conked out.it was not receiving signal so I switched on and off. But instead of taking me to the apps page it showed ios6 and asked me to go to itunes for an update.instead of updating it asked me to restore settings.now only logo appears

Did you do the update via iTunes?
If you are only getting the logo will want to try to see if can get device in recovery mode and try the restore process via iTunes again.
If you are still unable to get the device to restore will need a repair
Out of Warranty will cost
Just a heads up

Pismo w/panther needs to create bootable OS9 partition for firmware update

Hi guys -
I have the original software install and software restore cds that came with my pismo, and I'm sure there must be a way to install OS9 onto a partition on my pismo from there without erasing any of the data or OSX10.3 on the other partition. Years ago when the original hard drive died, I simply bought and installed Panther and didn't install os9 anywhere.
Now I've picked up a MBP and am unable to complete the Migration Assistant data transfer from the pismo to the mbp using FW (it recognizes the info on the pismo, but stalls during transfer at 8.1 hours to go!) because (it seems) I never installed the 4.1.8 firmware update on the pismo when the update came out. The update requires a boot from a local Mac OS 9.1 writeable partition.
So, essentially, I'm looking to install os9 off of one of the original powerbook install/restore cds onto an empty partition I've prepared on the pismo so I can update the firmware and then complete the migration to the mbp.
1. Is there a way to check the pismo's current firmware (in case I've already installed it years ago and forgot?)
2. Is there a simpler way to get OS9 onto the pismo?
3. Is there a simpler way to migrate my data to the MBP? (Other than pick up a 2.5" FW enclosure, remove the hd from the pismo and do it from there?)
4. If no, to the above questions, How do I do this?
Thanks for any help!

Hi Tom -
Thanks for replying so quickly, and the tip on how to find the current firmware info !
I just checked and my pismo is also running Boot ROM Version: 3.2.4f1
However, my concern isn't how well or whether it can run Tiger - it's the machine's ability to run in Firewire Target Disk Mode. And the update in question is intended to address the pismo's shortcomings there (it's mentioned in the ReadMe file that comes with the update). It's in the apple document for troubleshooting Migration Assistant that I discovered the existence of this update. The process for me freezes...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773
Nice to hear that Tiger runs well on the pismo though, I'll bear it in mind for the future.
Here's what I've done since posting my initial question:
I inserted the Software Restore CD and copied over all the files from it onto my partition. System Preferences<Startup Disk recognized an OS9 system file on the partition, and I selected it as my startup disk. Unfortunately, on restart I got the question mark flashing over the folder, and the pismo booted up from the Software Restore CD still in the drive. The CD did not identify my HD as viable to be restored to, something like there was nothing to restore and I must install software instead.
I am very wary of doing an install because I doubt the partition will be detected and of course the Install CD will erase the contents of my hard drive during the install. I'm tempted to pick up a cheap hd and install OS9 on that for the update, but there must be a way to get it onto the partition without wiping everything out!
Any additional help would be appreciated!
Best
Steve

My ipad stays in searching mode when looking for software update and doesn't give results

When I try to look for updates it is just searching and I even left it fir hole day and remained in search mode.

Had the same problem. Called Apple support. They claimed it could be a network problem since I did the download over wifi. They told me to try again using Itunes. When that didn't work, they said it was a corrupted itunes and I reinstalled it. During the reinstall, I tried it on another computer and it still did not work. After reinstalling itunes, I still got the corrupt message. Apple told me to go to my local Apple store and try their network. I was told that would do the trick. Guess what? It did not restore on the Apple network and the "Genius" tech person said that this error was similar to the windows "blue screen of death" and they could not repair it. Since the Ipad 2 was out of warranty, they offered me a replacement for $249 (no thanks) and said it was just one of those things. If anybody finds a fix, please let me know. I guess the lesson learned is NEVER download a new update the first day.

Searching for firmware update for Lucent Tech (Silver to Gold)

I have a Lucent Tech. Silver PCMCIA card (PC24E-H-FC) that i picked up because it has the port for an external antenna so i can use it in the garage for storing and looking up manuals. I understand that it is possible through firmware update to switch it to a gold card for slightly higher WEP encryption level.
Does anyone know where to get that firmware update? I realize that it probably has to be done on a PC.
Everywhere i search leads me to the Proxim website where you have to open a service ticket to get to their downloads section.
Am using it with a Wallstreet II 300/192Mb.
Is the silver to gold possible or is it unatainable alchemy?
Any links would be appreciated, thank you.

Hi funky,
I found this page, which you might find useful:

Nw8440 northbridge issue, looking for the right mobo replacement

hi,
i'm my nw8440 mobile workstation (T7400, FireGL V5200, 15.4" WUXGA) seems to have some northbridge issues and i'm looking for mobo replacement.
As i can read from "Maintenance and Service guide" it does share the same mobo (SPS 416397-001) with nc8430 and nx8420. But is it really the same? Because my nw8440 is equipped with a soldered gpu FireGL V5200 instead the other ones have a X1600.
thanks,

Timescale for firmware updates Lumia 520 ?

Can anyone explain why there is such a varience in which the same update gets released either from a phone supplier or Nokia.
For example I am with O2 in the UK. I asked about the Amber upgrade and the replies varied from "what is that I've never heard of it" to " We are not imformed of release dates so do not know" to a straight "no idea". to " keep checking in settings-phone-update"
AT & T have been selling the Lumia 520 for some time and their version has Windows Phone 8 build 10327 (GDR2) and Nokia’s Amber firmware update already on board.
I can not see Amber for example being different in USA and UK or Swaziland for the same phone.
So why such a delay
A very impatient

Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is a difference between a sim,free (factory unlocked/unbranded) device and a carrier released version.
your challenge with updates when you have a carrier branded device is that the carrier usually has very few updates to devices. And, their firmware versions are different, which include bloatware.
it is either software they are paid to put in devices, or their own renditions of billing, WiFi calling, mapping, etc stuff. So, before they do any updates of firmware and push it out, they have to do their own version of QC whereas factory unlocked devices get updates when ever the phone manufacturer releases them, which is usually more often.
even,if you get your device unlocked, it will still require that the carrier push the update. So the care reps are usually going to very uninformed unless they truly are involved in the tech side and have genuine interest to learn more. From a corporate perspective, they usually are scripted and clueless, which for the companies sake helps them not to create anymore confusion with the customer base then already is there.
as for the varients of,different countries, good to think about the regulations each country has, as well as some of the functionality of the device. Some countries don't have 3 or 4g service, or MMS is different, or there are frequency differences or regulations on what can be done. This goes far more deeper than just having the language available.
hope that helps

Should iTunes look for App updates

Should iTunes automatically look for updates to my various iphone Apps, and display the number of updates that are available. At the moment I have to check manually. Itunes is always switched on and my Wifi connection is very good.
Regards Craig

Open Preferences and select the 'Store' tab. Is the 'Automatically check for available downloads' ticked?

HT4972 My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as the IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an update file and the apple site doesn't have one!

My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as these IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an IOS 5 software update file and the apple site doesn't seem have one anywhere!

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Disk Image for Firmware Update Utility for LaserJet p2055dn is corrupted

Yep. Not sure what happened with that one. I have submitted the issue to the software team. Hopefully I can get a copy that works out to you soon. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Update to my previous post: HP confirms that their Firmware Update Utility is broken, but there is another way to update the firmware on a LaserJet P2055dn using a Mac running OS X, and here it is. HP tech support walked me through this procedure and it worked for me: Getting the printer ready: ensure that the LaserJet P2055dn is connected to your computer and make it the default printer. In System Preferences / Printers and Scanners, find your HP LaserJet P2055dn, select it, Click “Open Print Queue” and on the Printer menu, choose “Make Default.” On that same menu, choose “Print Test Page” and verify that the page prints.Using your Web browser, go to the following page on the HP website and click the “Download” button. Don’t worry that the page says it’s for Windows Vista. The file you’re about to download is for your HP LaserJet printer and doesn’t care what kind of computer you use to install it. Here’s the link:
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ja-143142-1#tab1
When it finishes downloading, go to your downloads folder and find the file HP_LaserJet_P2055dn_20141201_build155964.rfu
(note: you'll probably get a “Preparing for HP separation” message;. Just click OK)In your Applications/Utilities folder, find Terminal, and open it. In the Terminal window, type lp (space) but don’t press “return” yet. Drag and drop the above file from your finder window into the Terminal window. Then press “return”Watch the LCD display on your printer. It should go through several steps, beginning with “erasing” and finally saying “ready.”Go back to the printer’s “Print Queue” window and print another test page. If the test page prints properly, congratulations. You've done it!

Looking for Firmware MBP91.00D3.B06

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro with EFI MBP91.00D3.B02 which has an issue with Symantec PGP and won't boot after I have encrypted it. I have another Mac that it work perfectly on and it has EFI MBP91.00D3.B06 installed on it. There is a known issue with EFI MBP91.00D3.B02 so I am looking for a place to download EFI MBP91.00D3.B06, but it is not listed on the EFT page on Apples site. Please let me know if you have a copy or know where I can download it.
Thanks
Mike

Thanks Doug, that's helpful. In the instructions for Boot Camp it specifically says to check for, download and install the latest firmware before commencing an installation of Boot Camp. I always follow instructions!
It would be helpful if what you say was also on the Apple Support pages of the website, just to confirm to visitors there that things are correct. It really wouldn't hurt them to dot the "i"s and cross the "t"s to make sure there is no possibility of having to "guess" that because it isn't listed, you don't need it. I am sure lots of people have already downloaded the wrong type, judging from some of the many firmware questions on the site. Sometimes, a confirmation of reality is necessary, you know, like getting an aircraft ready for flight and going through a check list for every single thing.
