T23: problem to update bios

Hi, I have a thinkpad T23 with bios version 1.06 and embedded controller program 1.04.I would like to upgrade the bios by non diskette mode becouse I have not the floppy disk.
I follow the instruction ...next......next........the system reboot and after few second to appears this:
"The diskette in the default drive will not run on the system.Your system is locked.To restart your system press CTRL+ALT+CANC"
This happens also with the update of the embeddet cnntroller program.
Why?? What's wrong? please, someone can 'help me?

Welcome to the forum!
It seems to me that you have a Supervisor or BIOS password enabled on your T23.
Good luck.

Problem with updating bios toshiba satellite l655-s5144

Hello first of all having a good day, four months ago a problem with my laptop toshiba satellite l655-5144 I have something crazy ,happens that when starting Windows 7/8 freezes there and I can not access windows, I thought it was an error of hdd, but I think I'm surprised that it is not, since changing the hdd and still gives the same problem of being paralyzed in Home windows, all this began to update the BIOS to version 2.8 that turned out to be the operating profit that was for windows 8, not sure if this is due to the problem but I've tested the ram, hdd, cpu, etc and everything about the hardware works well and gives no problems, I think that the problem was caused by updating the BIOS to version 2.8, my question is whether you can return to the factory version was 2.2, or at least the previous version to 2.8 which was the one I worked thanks for your answers and spend time helping me, is the agradesco much.
And sorry for my bad English.
Solved!

If anyone has the same problem as I leave then follow these steps:
1.Find BIOS version with which acquired the laptop
2. Use of mnetodo booted by CD.
3. Insert the CD from the boot.
4. Upon resumption of the program ran hidden PC (that I saw no message)
5. After restart, windows restart again and enter the bios to see if it had changed the version of this and it turned out was successful.
Well I hope this problem the laptop again, and thank you for deigning to read at least my problem.

HELP! Problem after updating BIOS of my Lenovo ideapad S10-3S

I'm hoping somebody will help me out of this nightmare. Cause i'm searching and searching across the net for an answer for this the whole day and i didn't find any accurate solutions for this.
Well to start, i just updated my laptop's BIOS two days ago because i just saw on lenovo's website that there is an update file for the BIOS and I rapidly DL it and installed as per instruction, it was running fine after that but i just noticed that the system start up and even shutdown takes centuries to finish. Then i turned it on sleep having the screen facedown to the keyboard, and noticeably the 4 indicator lights are still lighted up for approximately 5mins before the laptop totally turned to sleep mode. Then I turned it on at the evening and voila! It is not booting up to the log in screen, it just gives me a background wallpaper for the log in screen without the avatar box and password in put box. After the BIOS screen loads, it offers me two options:
(1) Launch Startup Repair [recommended as it says]
(2) Start windows normally
I tried both but still having the same result. And one option that i tried is to reformat the laptop instead because onekey recovery is also not a dependable solution. But lo and behold!!! It also stuck into a part where it says "starting up the setup".
I really don't know what to do now!!! Please Lenovo team help me! I'm kinda smash the screen here! Its just that BIOS update is the Major update in my laptop after 4yrs of purchase. Help!

Hi buddy,
This stop code means you are using a wrong SATA controller driver. For XP installation you have to integrate the SATA driver before you can install XP. There are a lot of threads about this problem here in forum.
For Intel chipset you have to download Intel Storage Manager from official Toshiba website and follow the instructions here to reinstall Windows with correct SATA drivers:

Alternative follow the instructions posted by peterk_1. Setting IDE mode instead AHCI in BIOS will also help :)

Z77MA G45 problem after updating Bios to V1.9

Hi, recently I updated the bios for my motherboard to V1.9, and after that I keep having some problems. Firstly my board now won't start again after I have done changes in the BIOS unless I unplug the 24 pin power connector from the PSU and plug it in again.
Also now my PC will randomly crash saying my graphic driver is giving me a problem. Initially I thought it was my graphic card, but it still persists, even after updating the graphic drivers, and even changing cards. Heck, I even tried both nVidia and ATI, and both will crash the board randomly.
Any suggestions? like downgrading the Bios?
Thank you

>>Clear CMOS<< and retry. If no help follow >>Posting Guide<< and add required infos. What bios did you use before?

solved- it was the dimm 3 and 4 which got errors.
not using dual channel now. only using DIMM1,2 but at least it boots up.
Then your board is most likely defective. Reseat cpu and see if pins in the socket are bent. Else it might be the slots or their wiring.

@peter9898 and skozicki...
is there a specific issue you're trying to resolve or new feature added with the update? if not, there's seldom a reason to update the BIOS on a well-working machine.

Updating bios problems k7n2-L bio= 3.0

I have a k7n2-L board, bios 3.0
how do i find bios write protection? wehre is it i kant find it - im having problems updating bios.
thx

With my older kt266a chipset and a 1700+ cpu, I had the regular cpu temp higher than case temp.
But then I applied a patch that enabled the use of the CPU HALT command. This effectively stopped the cpu completely when it wasn't doing anything. The temps at 100% load did NOT change, but the temps at idle were dramastically different.
Considering the effectiveness of todays heat sinks, it is not unbelievable for a cpu temp to be lower than a case temp, as long as the cpu temp is above ambient. In my case, I have 2 7200 rpm hard drives, which have 2 80mm fans blowing on them. There is also an nvidia gf4 4200 which puts off a good deal of heat. If the mobo temp sensor is located in such an area that it picks up the heat from those items, and the cpu get's airflow that has not been heated by those items, then I can see how there would be a large difference in temperature from mobo to cpu at idle.
at load, the cpu should be above mobo temps if you use a regular case and air cooling method.

G580 bios/update problem - no updates for years

Hi there.
I have a G580 i5-3210M @2.50GHz with 8gb ram running on Windows 7 64-bit. The model # is 2189.
I have had enormous problems updating drivers on the pc for a while, and I can give specifics of errors/drivers if that helps. One big problem I've found is using diagnosis software CPUID CPU-Z, my motherboard comes up as "Manufacturer: LENOVO", "Model: INVALID" / "00000000INVALID". I'm not sure how this contributes to my errors, but it definitley worries me.
Well, during a late night search for an updated BIOS, I found and accidently installed 5ecn96ww (v.9.01) BIOS update, which is for WINDOWS 8 and not WINDOWS 7. The system wouldn't start, so I went into the BIOS and switched onto Legacy Mode, which has allowed me to use the laptop normally (to my knowledge).
Long story, short request: How can I get my laptop back to factory settings (including factory BIOS) and start over with a fresh windows 7. Does OneKey Recovery reset the BIOS as well?
Thanks.

hi ahmedgad,
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try to:
1. Boot into the BIOS by repeatedly tapping F2 on startup
2. In the BIOS, navigate to the Boot Tab and set UEFI to Disabled or Legacy then press F10 to save and exit. When
the computer reboots, check if you still get the errors and/or if you're able to boot into Windows.
3. If same problem, leave the changes that you made on Step 2 and attempt to re-install Windows via a Windows 8 recovery drive or OneKey Recovery button (note that this will wipe the computer to factory settings)
Let me know your findings,
neokenchi

I would be afraid to run the BIOS update for an older system from within windows 7. Maybe someone wi6th direct experience will post, but if I were doing it, I would do it from a bootable floppy.

GT-70 2OD Touchpad Problem (disabling button) after updating BIOS and EC

Hi All,
I was solving issues with random BSOD's (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=176615.0), but now I got the button that Disables the Touchpad malfunctioning.
I just updated BIOS and EC to 2014-01-17 Versions from MSI website.
The button is not disabling the touchpad and also the LED is not working (well, it used to turn on when the touchpad was disabled), however the "touchpad enabled" picture is showing on the screen everytime the button is pushed.
It's not a major thing, but you know how perfectionists are .... Any idea how to solve this? I'm just going to try updating the touchpad driver with latest from MSI website and let you know the result
Thanks in advance,
PS: Nice community. I just joined this forum and I received a lot of help already!!!!

Quote from: darkhawk on 05-February-14, 01:00:21
Did you perform the EC Reset procedure outlined on the website?
Just to reiterate it:
1. Turn off the laptop.
2. Remove the Battery.
3. Remove the AC adapter.
4. Let the laptop sit there for 20 minutes.
5. Install the Battery.
6. Install the AC adapter.
7. Turn on the laptop.
This might help fix the issue.
Yep, I followed step by step to update the EC.
I just removed original synaptic driver for the touchpad and Installed latest from MSI website. The button doesn't work as before (I was able enable/disable at will), now its behavior is as follows (and I think it was made intelligently):
You can't disable the touchpad if no other pointing device is present
When another pointing device is present, the touchpad disables itself and the button LED is ON (as before). You can't enable the touchpad (before I was able to enable it) if another pointing device is present.
For me, it's OK. BTW... had been about 22 hours without BSOD...
Thank you guys!!!
PS: I just realized that I re-connected my PS3 controller via USB (in the very same USB port that I use to connect it) and the laptop REINSTALLED drivers for it...

Problem updating bios

Here is a question related for bios. I have a ms6534 mother board which current has 1.1 version of bios on it. In order for my prosscessor to work i need to put on 1.4 verison of bios on it. I manage to get into the program to update bios and save the old bios. But when a go load the new version into it, it start to over write bios, it comes up with an error that is "Flash ROM erasing error". I have no clue what this means. came someone because ecplain what i should do to update the bios. Thank you!

you sure award bios...
Award and AMI both are different bios and are using a different flash utility...
you are luck that your board still 'alive'...
you confirm the board model number is ms6534...
if yes, think you better contact your msi local distributor for help...

K8N Neo Series - update bios 1.4 to 2.1 - SATA problem

- i have K8N Neo-FSR (7030) with two SATA ports.
- i update bios from ver 1.4 to 2.1
- after restart, my bios show FOUR SATA ports, and on welcome screen is write "K8N Neo Platinum"
- difrent betwen K8N Neo-FSR and K8N Neo Platinum is in additive two SATA Ports
- is this NORMAL???
- how i can fix it?
Thanks for solution

BE careful in your statement Stick .
Quite a few with K8N Neo Platinum (MS-7030) has gotten their board ruined (no-post) over the last weeks
cause by LiveUpdate giving out a wrong MS-7030 bios .
There is three 7030 which use different bioses and is identified on the bios extension name .
MS-7030 versions 1.0 to 2.22 is for the 1'st generation (Neo Platinum and FSR)
The other two have extension 7030.5xx and 7030.7xx and is for Neo-V and Neo V 2.0 .
Think it's a really bad call from MSI to use the same MS number for seperate boards that completely
rely on "their own" bios ,and at the same time autoprovide their bios files through the liveupdate server .
do all of those BIOSes have the same BIOS string ID?
