Qosmio G30-126 - BIOS is not able upgraded on this configuration

Hello people
I have a problem with my computer where the Toshiba Service had replaced my motherboard. (a display adapter fault).
I have the computer now but the BIOS is very old, is Version 1.90. I downloaded the latest version from Toshiba's site which is 3.90.
When I try to update I get the message " Error. BIOS Upgrade is Failure. BIOS is not able upgraded on this configuration".
I have Windows 7 and run everything in Administrator mode.
I boot from WinPE CD but still not able to do any BIOS upgrade.
The old BIOS does not support USB boot and has some other issues that make the upgrade an important factor.
One assumption I made is that the BIOS has to be upgraded in small steps, i.e. from version 1.60 to 1.70 etc. until I reach 3.90.
Any help would be appreciated.

I need the upgrade since some features do not exist. Like, USB boot, screen brightness is allways full and cannot change with this BIOS.
It could change with 3.90 on my previous motherboard.
I used the extracted files as you mentioned with Administrative rights. I downloaded the Upgrade files from Toshiba and are supposed to be OK with Windows7
If i have to format the disks and install the preinstall operating system in order to make a BIOS Upgrade, I prefer to buy a new computer :)
I had tried many other alternatives like, boot from various CDs with BartPE (XP), Live CD (Vista) but had no success.

  • Qosmio G30-126 - Win7 or Vista instaltion hdd not showing

    Hello everyone,
    i have one system Qosmio g30-126.
    I dont have the recovery cds.
    I want to instal the Win7 or Win Vista.
    He is not showing me the both 200+200 HDD.
    plz telling to me what i do.

    Hi mate
    I think you dont need a SATA driver but RAID driver!
    As far as I know the Qosmio G30 supports RAID and therefore you need to include the RAID driver.
    Visit the Toshiba European driver page and download the RAID driver which is listed in the list.
    Note: Choose the Archive in Product Type because G30 is an older series.
    After you have downloaded and uzipped the driver, you will have to add this driver during the Windows installation setup.

    I have a laptop Qosmio G30-126 and I don't know the key for entering the bios to change to properties for the HDD or any thing... so how to get access to the bios? what is the key for the bios??

    Hi

    Older Toshiba notebooks supported the ESC and then F1 button

    Hi Martin
    First of all its interesting if you have downloaded and installed all Toshiba Vista drivers which are released on the Toshiba European driver page?
    All drivers must be installed in the right order!
    If I'm not mistaken the Qosmio G30-126 belongs to the PQG32E series. It was delivered with HD DVD drive and therefore you should choose the drivers for Qosmio G30 HD DVD (PQG32E)!!!
    Please check firstly the Installation Instructions txt file and then install all drivers like mentioned in this document.
    Regarding the display issue;
    You should install the right NVIDIA driver from the Toshiba page!!
    The FN keys and control buttons dont work because the Toshiba Vista Value Added Package was not installed. This package contains different applications which are necessary to get all Toshiba functions running!
    Good luck

  • Qosmio G30-126: how to connect analog TV and satellite TV simultaneously

    Hi, I have a Qosmio G30-126 and have a problem with simultaneous receiving analog TV (by TV-in port in built-in TV tuner) and satellite channels from satellite set-top-box (by AV-in ports).
    I can programm Windows Media Center for analog TV (but without satellite STB) by antenna TV-in port and it works perfectly.
    I can programm Windows Media Center for digital channels from satellite STB (but without analog TV) by AV-in ports and it works perfectly.
    But i can't program Windows Media Center for both analog TV i satellite STB, because during programming WMC forces me to choose between analog TV or satellite decoder and doesn't allow me to choose two signal sources.
    For me it is a big problem, because I have cable TV (analog) and satellite STB with digital channels. And I want to watch on my Qosmio all channels.
    Could anyone help me?

    >... because during programming WMC forces me to choose between analog TV or satellite decoder and doesn't allow me to choose two signal sources.
    I think in this statement you answered your question. I had Qosmio G30 long time ago and i also know that WMC cannot handle with two signal sources at the same time.
    To confirm this contact Microsoft and ask them. I mean they have designed WMC and know how it works exactly.
    Toshiba has just offered proper hardware (TV tuner) to offer TV option on this notebook.

  • Qosmio G30-126 - Strange scratching noise

    Hi!
    I have a Qosmio G30-126 and OS Vista Ultimate. about a month ago my laptop was taken to service because it wouldn't turn on, but since last week, when I started it up there was a prolonged scratching noise on the startup, and since then whenever Im listening to music or if the laptop's on standby, there are some very weird scratching sounds coming out from the speakers. Short sounds that keep being repeated. Sometimes they stop after a few times, and other times, like last night, I had to restart.
    I tried updating all available drives, but everything seemed up-to-date. I also googled the issue, but none of what I found was relative.
    Can someone give me a clue as to what the issue might be? Is there something I haven't thought of that needs to be done?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    That might be an option...how can i see if it is the fan though? Is there a way to do it on my own?
    Is it possible that these sound issues might be because of overusage? I don't keep my laptop on 24 hrs a day, but some days it's on till the evening. But only after the service did this whole thing occur..

  • I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.  It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.  I went to a apple store at Sout

    I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
    It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
    I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
    and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
    They don't have answers and don't understand about  "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
    I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
    that was supposed to fix the problem.
    they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
    So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
    and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
    wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
    Great! what a convenient solution.
    I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
    Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
    Thank you very much and God Bless you!

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • [HP Expert Day] "You are not able to restore this system with the media"

    Welcome to HP Experts day! 
    I've got a long-standing problem since last year. Let's see if you can solve this! 
     I'll get straight to the point : 
    I am unable to perform recovery on my system. This is the error message : 
    It's a USB recovery media created with the HP recovery media utility on the same laptop. Tested to work correctly before I sent it for RMA on my SSD. It initially was running on a micron SSD. When I got it back, it was a samsung SSD instead, according to some benchmark results. 
    Laptop : HP Envy Spectre XT 13-2018TU
    P.S I've already opened another thread on this last year. 
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Recovery/Unable-to-boot-from-USB-recovery-media/m-p/2197929#M1... 
    But they were stumped. 

    I had this exact same issue on a Spectre XT Pro Ultrabook. 
    The original SSD failed and I was sent a replacement, was fortunate enough to be able to create a Recovery USB stick using the wizard in Windows. When booting from USB I received the message "You are not able to restore this system with the media".
    SOLUTION: You must NOT use the Recovery USB stick in any USB3.0 port (labelled SS). Using another USB port prevented this exact error message from appearing and I was able to complete the system restore process.
    I hope this helps someone, I signed up and posted here especially for this reason!

  • "You're not able to purchase this product in your ...

    Second time posting this, as the first apparently failed...
    I've been subscribing to the Unlimited US plan for a few years now, as all of my family and most of my friends live in various parts of the US. For some reason, today, when I went to renew my subscription (which expires in 6 days), I got the message, "You're not able to purchase this product in your region.". I've never had this problem from Prague before and I can't understand why I'm having it now.
    Is there some reason for this or is it just a glitch that will soon be corrected?

    Nevermind... Whatever the problem was, it appears to have corrected itself.
    Thanks
