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.

Update BIOS from DOS command line?

Hello, I'd like to be able to flash the BIOS from the boot prompt or with a USB/CD/DVD based tool. I cannot open any OS even from live DVDs. My Presario SR5507F came originally with Vista installed but over the years it was upgraded to Windows 8.1. It gave us years of reliable service but sometime last fall the PC started experiencing seemingly random reboots and powerdowns. Things got pregressively worse until the PC was unusable. It would run for 15 or 20 minutes and then reboot. The problems started shortly after a Windows update, so I thought this was a patch or driver update issue. I tried reverting an removing patches to no avail. I also tried installing Ubuntu and Fedora, but they exhibit the same issues. Fedora is worse than Ubuntu, though. I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1, then 7 and finally the original Vista 32-bit OS but all Windows installations fail at some point during drivers installation. The computer just enters an endless reboot cyle and Windows cannot be installed. I ran memory tests but they all pass and I can use a text based OS, such as DOS. I have tried to reflash the BIOS, thinking it may have been corrupted during one of the reboots, but since I cannot install any version of Windows, the BIOS flash tools refuse to work. I need to be able to flash the BIOS from the DOS command prompt or at boot. Is there such a tool from Compaq/HP? Thanks!

The BIOS file is found on THIS PAGE and is listed asMCP61PM-HM Motherboard BIOS Update 5.271.5 MBAug 2, 2012sp40911.exe Open the download after it is complete with 7-zip by right clicking on the sp40911.exe, then extract the Net5.24 to a known location. AWDFlash downloadJust rename the file to 524.bin and use awdflash from DOS.Use awdflash 524.bin /cc/cd/cp/py/R

Also for something with UEFI bios you should be able to flash the bios from within the UEFI itself....as long as you extracted the BIOS onto a flash stick for it to find. Are you not able to do this?

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

Satellite Pro L300 wont boot up after updating BIOS from 1.30 to 1.50

Dear All,
I own a Toshiba Satelklite Pro L300 and had no problems for the past 4 years. Last Monday I replaced my Hard Drive with a new one and after installing a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro, I downloaded all the drivers from the offical website. Upon finishing my last update, I updated the BIOS from version 1.30 to 1.50. After a few seconds my laptop restarted and was unable to load Windows and/ or recognise my new Hard Disk.
I tried several methods, being Safe Mode, Bios Optimun Defaults etc but was unsuccesful. IO could not even re-install Windows as the Hard Drive is not being recognised by the Laptop. I formatted the HD again via my desktop Pc but still have the same problem.
I am really worried and would appreciate immediate help!
Best Regards,
Engelbert

> I formatted the HD again via my desktop Pc but still have the same problem.
What happen exactly when you switch your notebook on?
Set BIOS to deult settings and try to install original recovery image that you got with your notebook. If everything works OK that means HDD upgrade was successful and there is no some serious hardware problem.
After this check you can try to install WXP again.
Please post some feedback.

Cannot update Bios through Live Update (Z77A-GD65)

I've been trying to update the Bios from A.00 to A.B0. I've tried it a few times but when I scan for updates it will always say that my current Bios is A.00 and the online version is A.B0. I'm trying to get this update in the hope that it will fix my problem installing my new Graphic Card.

Don't use LiveUpdate! If it tries updating your bios you have a high chance of bricking the board. Download bios versions from here or the product site and manually flash (and never in Windows).
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Download the compressed archive to your desktop but do not decompress.
Select option 1 of the forum flash tool and point the tool an the compressed archive then follow the direction. After booting from the prepared USB stick afterwards it will flash your bios and ME extension.
Once complete you will need to download and re-install the latest version of the Intel Management Engine Drivers.

Hi
It seems you used infopack when you select update data inot datatarget then system prompts you a infopack.That's the infopack which is generated by system being used in process chain variant to update data into datatarget.
Create new infopack/ DTP manually then use that infoapck/DTP on the process chain variant then try.

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 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

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!
Go to Solution.

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.
Cheers,
George

Updating bios from 1.4 to 1.9

Hello
I'm still running bios 1.4, thinking of updating.
What have changed up to v1.9 (or which ever is the newest) since 1.4? Will I benefit from updating?

For me, my 3700+ was reporting an incorrect temperature (65c). Although I always felt the temp was wrong, it just bugged the hell outn of me. Other then that 1.4 worked for me. If your going to a 3700+ it will work fine, but it will report the wrong temp. If all else is working, I'd just leave it.
