Satellite A500-025 - Improvements of new BIOS version

I did a bios update on my Satellite A500-025. I had a BIOS version 1.2 and updated to BIOS 1.5.
Anyone know what the improvements are and is it advisable to always do a BIOS update when a new one comes out?
Thanks.

Hi
Normally the BIOS changelog is placed on the Toshiba notebook but if you cant find it, unfortunately there is no changelog available.
By the way: I have noticed that BIOS changelogs are often placed on the Toshiba US page. Maybe you can find it there.
And this update should only be done if its really necessary. If you dont have any problems, forget this update.
Never touch a running system!!! ;)

Difference between Satellite A500-025 and A500-02F

Satellite A500-02F costs about 10% more than Satellite A500-025.
Is the Satellite A500-02F much better and worth the extra money or are they basically the same . The Satellite A500-02F has a T6066 chip compared to T6065 in the Satellite A500-025 much difference?
The Satellite A500-02F has DDR3 memory, will this make much difference? Any other differences?
Thanks.

Hi junglo,
I think you have already answered the question yourself. The Satellite A500-02F has a faster CPU and DDR3 memory. It should be a little bit faster in programs they need a high CPU performance and in games for example.
Its also depending on the programs that you want to use but I would choose the faster model. I dont buy every year a new notebook so I would choose the faster one and 10% difference isnt so much. ;)

MSI P965 Neo motherboard New Bios version 1.7

Hi all,
I have notice that msi has release a new bios, version 1.7, for the p965 neo mobo. Has anybody tried it and has any info to share with us?
I want to upgrade but I am not sure if this is a good upgrade. Does anyone knows what is the "Intel Presler SL9QR CPU" fix so I choose to upgrade or not?
Thanks a lot,
Phanos

never flash a bios that includes updates that donot apply to you, NEVER.

New bios version for HP Envy 800-060

There is a new bios version, 80.21, for the above listed machine. I wish HP would put in the release notes with their downloads. When the update just says critical, but doesn't tell you what it's doing, that is kind of annoying.

I agree. that is strange. i will ask my internal contacts about it and get back to you on this.

NEW BIOS version for Satellite A200 PSAEC!

They've posted new Bios updates on the download page!
5.20-WIN : This Bios is NOT compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!
1.80-WIN : This Bios is ONLY compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!
But I don't really know how to use this. Because I have currently XP installed. Let's assume I update the bios with the XP version. What if I decide later to put back the Vista? That would be impossible, because I have BIOS for XP. And couldn't install the Vista BIOS neither, as i have XP installed...
Any ideas?

Hi,
its not so tragically if you have a XP bios and vista installed. It will work but with many limitations and it wont work stable, so its better to have the version which is intended for the operating system you currently use.
Thanks for posting this news, I assume that many uses with that machine appreciate some good news. :)

Satellite A350D-20K (PSALME) - New BIOS version

Hi, I am using a Windows 7 64bit
I went to the drivers update but it only had 2 drivers update.
1: No OS displayed but it's from 32 bit
2: Windows vista 64 bit.
I tried the first and it didn't work. My BIOS version is 1.50 and I think the BIOS is further.
Could anyone help me?
I would really appreciate it.

Well to be honest what i want is completely something else, and i think it could help by updating my bios( might be wrong).
What my problem really is:
My network keeps background scanning every 60 seconds, it causes lag while streaming a movie, playing a online game.
and if i test it on cmd i keep pinging to my own ip, or www.google.com
it goes okay and then suddenly the ms goes to 50+ 100 + 150+ then goes back to normal.
and that is causing problems for the internet.
Is there anyway to fix this problem ?
im using a router 2, but i dont think its problem of the router because the router is in the same room as i am.
thank you for reading this and would really appreciate it if you could help me.
biaf.

HP 15-D035DX new BIOS version update F,19A,14,1M

I have a HP 15-D035DX with pre-installed windows 8.1 all updates have been done up to this point. The HP support assitant had a BIOS update F,19A,14,1M release date 11/11/2014 that i downloaded and ran without any problems but i notice that in system information it shows BIOS F,19, dated 10/7/2014. Im wondering if i need to just leave it and not try to update it again since i have no start-up problems.

Hi,
Thankyou for your response, i see the latest available BIOS for this unit is version F.19A 11/11/2014
Click here to update BIOS: BIOS update
Try to redownload and reinstall the update from the above mentioned site. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=6841...
After the installation is completed the NB will restart automatically.
Go to run command (win+R) type msinfo32 and click ok you will be able to see the BIOS version.
If the HPSA is giving any update you can cancel it since you have done it manually

SORRY FOR MY POOR EANGLISH

Hi
Its pity to hear that mate!
It seems that something went wrong during the BIOS update and therefore the notebook cannot power up.
Im afraid you cannot do anything else as to contact the local ASP!
The local ASP technician should check the unit and possibly he could update the BIOS again using an special BIOS and special procedure.
Good luck buddy

Satellite L350-277 - Update of new BIOS and Wifi driver

TEMPRO has given me 2 new drivers but neither has instructions.
BIOS installation used to be an operation involving copying the driver to a disc and then changing the boot-up order to start with that disc.
However I think the new BIOS drivers are installed with Windows running - as a normal program. Anyone know for sure ?
I assume the wifi driver is a normal install, with wifi switched on or off ?

Hi
Just one question;
Is a WLan driver update and BIOS update necessary?
I mean; do you have any problems with your notebook where such update would be required?
You should not update this if everything is OK. in most case the Tempro notifies you about drivers and tools which are uploaded to the driver page but this is not a recommendation for an update you know what I mean???
I follow always this tip; never change a running system.

A new BIOS version 3.50 is out for Satellite U200

Hey guys,
I have just installed BIOS v.3.50 and it works like a charme. Hope there will be more drivers soon or at least updated drivers; especially the Flash-Cards do not work properly they always crash.
With BIOS 3.50 I think I got a little more performance, but maybe it is just an impression, check it out yourself ;)

I just got my vista upgrade DVD from Toshiba/Moduslink, and there is a handy utility you can download that will install all the Toshiba Vista drivers for you. I'm running Vista Ultimate x86 (32-bit), and flashcards is stable on my machine (U205-S5044/US model).

Satellite A500-17X - When will new display driver be released?

Is there any information about when the NVIDIA 190.xx or 195.xx drivers will be released for the A500-17X?
I'm trying to use the CUDA Toolkit 2.3 drivers (which are the first drivers which support OpenCL) and I'd really need the 19x.xx NVIDIA display drivers (currently, the most recent driver is the 186.42 driver). I'm just trying to get an idea, if possible, when I might be able to run some tests with OpenCL.
Thanks.

Well, an update. Actually, my question as to when we might have new drivers has not been addressed, but I was given some information to update the drivers using the ones on the NVIDIA website.
However, because this has not been tested, and you could potentially cause problems (which means I would not recommend someone who does not have fairly extensive experience with driver installations and recovery of a system, to try this, in case things do go wrong), I will let anyone interested contact Toshiba directly to request the information.
However, it does seem to address a problem that has appeared in another thread, regarding crackling/freezing/blue screen of death. So far, my system seems to be much better with this upgrade, so, if the problem is indeed due to the NVIDIA drivers, I can only suggest that Toshiba hurries up and officially releases the new drivers.

Qosmio X500 - Improvements of new BIOS update

Does anybody know what issues are addressed by the BIOS update issued on 7th of January 2010?

You can see the list of fixes at the US Toshiba SIte at:
[http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2436373& rpn=PQX33U&modelFilter=X505-Q850&selCategory=3&selFamily=804517]
Select the 1.4 BIOS upgrade to see the change history.
I installed 1.4 and now my X505-850 won't come out of sleep mode, I have to force a power off by holding down the power button. I see other people with the same problem with 1.4. I have to use Hibernate or shut it down. It does fix the Fan problem with enabling the "USB Sleep and Charge" feature.
