T43p Embedded Controller Upgrade

Dear All,
I upgraded the embedded Controller to 1.06 without pay more attention to BIOS version so the BIOS version was 1.22 and this is uncompatible version between 2 system software.
So now I have a big problem on running, sometimes the Laptop stop on the IBM Screen (Click Blue Button) and can't continue I foreced to turn it off manually then re-run it many times to let it run.
After that I upgraded the BIOS to 1.29 version but I am still getting this problem.
When I am working into Windows XP, 70% of the time the system doesn't work efficently and freeze a little bit but the big Problem when I am trying to run it I rerun it many times to work nice.
My question is; How to uninstall the BIOS and the Embedded Controller?
Regards and thanks

Hello,
The PXI controller can have one of two operating systems:
Windows OS
Real-Time OS (deterministic)
Ultimately, the architecture of your program will determine the deterministic rate.

  • Botched Embedded Controller Program Service Utility upgrade.

    Hi,
    It seems that I might have a little problem. I've recently started updating my T43 with ThinkVantage Update program and the first couple of updates went like a breeze. Even the new BIOS installed alright. But when I started upgrading Embedded Controller Program Service Utility it suddenly stopped at that gray screen saying that the system was now updating and is telling me not to turn it off in any case. The thing is, it says it should take about 30 seconds while I have been waiting for over an hour but to no avail.
    I am a little afraid of turning of my computer, don't really want to damage it. Does any of you have any ideas what should I do in such circumstances? Any help would be much appreciated.

    with the bios upgrade through windows, the process is quite simple but there is potential for interference from other programs that is going on in the background, this is especially a problem with laptop that have not been maintained properly in terms of regular virus scanning, deleting unwanted programs, keeping background processes to the minimal. For a more secure update, try to do the bios update through the ISO image method.

  • Unable to update BIOS or Embedded Controller Program on X40

    Hi,
    I have an IBM Thinkpad X40 laptop.  I currently have BIOS version 1.43 and Embedded Controller Version 1.32.  I am trying to upgrade both of these separately using the following programs:
    BIOS update (Non-Diskette) - ThinkPad X40
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-53881
    Embedded Controller Program (Non-Diskette) - ThinkPad X40
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-53882
    I download and run them, go through the 4 step wizard and then the machine reboots.  The problem is that it doesn't update the BIOS or the ECP but it also doesn't tell me why or even tell me that it's failed.
    Has anyone experienced this issue or know what causes this?  I am unable to do this via a diskette because I don't have a floppy drive on this model.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK, I've fixed this now.
    I had Kaspersky Internet Security installed and had disabled it manually but it was obvisouly still blocking fundamental system changes like these.  I uninstalled KIS completely and then ran these updates again and all worked fine.

  • The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period - Flex 15D

    Hello,
    I have an IdeaPad Flex 15D, and I have had several problems (mostly processor-related) in the time I have been using it. I contacted Customer Support twice, and finally did a system reset a few days ago after being told by Lenovo Support that my choices for fixing the problem were 1) Reset, or 2) Pay for a premium service to diagnose the problem. Needless to say (again), I went with option 1. So far I have not had any noticible problems with the processors, but there is a certain error showing up in the Event Viewer that I am concerned about. Lenovo Support has been next-to-useless troubleshooting my problems thus far, so I'm taking them here. The error is as follows:
    (Event ID 13)
    The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period. This may indicate that there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware or that the BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS. In some situations, this error may cause the computer to function incorrectly.
    Sounds like the BIOS needs an update, right? Well, I went straight to the Flex 15D drivers page, and guess what? I quote the drivers page: Bios update is not required for this product. Not required? So, Lenovo ships a broken BIOS and then refuses to support it? I don't know if Lenovo employees ever read this forum, so this might not be the best way to get their attention, but I am so fed up with Customer Support and I want this issue to be known to more than just a few unhelpful 'tech support' people. The Flex 15D isn't one of the more popular laptops out there, so I can't expect anyone reading this to be able to duplicate this problem or really provide any support, but if you have any suggestions whatsover, please reply to this thread. Like I said, I want people to know, and hopefully we can get Lenovo's attention so they can fix this problem.
    Best regards,
    Owen Dugmore

  • T60 Embedded Controller - hangs or crash at power-up

    Lenovo ThinkPad T60
    Model 200772U
    BIOS 79ETE7WW (2.27 )
    EC 79HT50WW-1.07
    With a dead battery, the T60 will not power-up.  With the battery removed, the T60 will sometimes, or often, also not power-up.  The problem seems to be buggy embedded controller software, which "hangs" or "crashes" at power-up, perhaps similar to the problem described at:
     http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/T61P-Graphic-problems-random-shut-down-B...
    Applying power, the "plug" and "battery" icons light, then the "battery" icon goes dark, where there is no battery attached.  Pressing the power button, the "plug" icon then goes dark, and the system "hangs".  Pulling the power connector will reset the system.  Repeated attempts to start the system, while performing various superstitious rituals of pressing buttons and detaching peripherals, the system powers-up normally again, and runs normally until "sleep" or power-down.
    "Searching", this appears to be a common problem, which also occurs across several Thinkpad models.
    Also, in a possibly related bug, there is described a "Bug: Advanced battery query causes EC hang" at
     http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Embedded_Controller_Firmware
    All together, it seems clear that the EC start-up software "tests" are too severe, or just plain broken.  Are all Lenovo Thinkpad products this "flakey"?  At-end-of-warranty failures are usually more of an HP specialty, in my experience.
    Any chance of an Embedded Controller software upgrade from Lenovo?  Where are EC software bugs supposed to be reported?
    Has anyone found a _consistant_and_reliable_ work-around?
    Thanks

  • Problems directly connecting Windows 7 HP EliteBook to NI PXIe-8135 Embedded Controller

    For some reason my computer cannot connect to the NI PXIe-8135 Embedded Controller in my PXIe-1082 chassis. My computer recognizes that there is something there, but it cannot communicate with it (no packets recieved back, but packets sent). I've already checked my firewall settings, network settings, and anything else I could think of that might be preventing me from connecting to it but I have not found a single thing that tells me why I cannot connect.
    Any ideas on troubleshooting this problem, or if someone has run into the same problem please let me know - any help is greatly appreciated!
    -flynneva

    Hi flynneva,
    Are you using an ethernet cable to connect to your PC? It sounds like you just want to add this chassis to your network just like any other computer (with the embedded controller is a computer). Here is a link to Microsoft's page on this type of connection in case you haven't tried these options: 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305621 
    Also, is this embedded computer running Windows or is it a RT controller? What does your computer do to recognize the connection and what are you using to read the data? Can you ping the IP address of the controller and receive a response?
    Thanks!

  • Correct procedure to update Embedded Controller Programme - T43

    Dear Forum,
    Could somebody please describe the best way to safely update 'Embedded Controller Programme' in a T43?
    - The computer is a Thinkpad T43 1871 PM1 machine
    - BIOS Version is 1.29
    - Embedded Controller Version is 1.03
    - Apparently this is the correct current Embedded Controller Version http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-59439
    - Should I boot the machine into safe mode rather than regular startup?
    - Should I deactivate my firewall (PCTools), my anti-virus (Avast) and Malwarebytes from running at startup before I shut my machine down?
    - Are there any other specific programmes I need to shut down? (eg. IBM Access or any of the IBM updates?)
    - Does the controller update require internet access? Or should I also disconnect the computer from the web?
    Thank you!! :-)
    Harryredknapp

    Hi Harry,
    There is no need to boot the machine in Safe Mode, and yes it would be good idea to deactivate your firewall and antivirus products for the time being while the controller program is being updated.
    When I run BIOS update, I don't turn off any Thinkvantage tools so in my experience they don't interfere with the update process, and as far as I know the controller program doesn't require internet access (if you're doing manual update from the setup saved on your thinkpad).
    Hope it helps.

  • ACPIEC Embedded Controller error in Event Viewer on XP Partition

    So, when in my XP (SP2) partittion I recently started to get hangs when I try to put the system to stand by/hybernation at the blue "preparing to go into Stand by..." screen. It just sits there, locks up and I end up having to reboot. In the XP's Event Viewer I see this ACPIEC error and that seems to be related to the BIOS. But, as we know, I am on a Mac so there is no "BIOS".
    It says "The embedded controller (EC) hardware didn't respond within the timeout period. This may indicate an error in the EC hardware or firmware, or possibly a poorly designed BIOS which accesses the EC in an unsafe manner. The EC driver will retry the failed transaction if possible."
    So, that is the only error I consistently see in the Event Viewer so I assume it is related, but if I am on a Mac and have no "BIOS" or "EC" how can I source this issue out in XP given it is a partition on my Mac?

  • Should one update Embedded Controller program before a BIOS update ?

    Hello All,
    I have an IBM Thinkpad 600E 2645 4AU that has an old version of BIOS that am trying to update to the latest.
    I read on the net that before updating the BIOS its required to update the Embedded Controller program.
    This is what I read and am quoting :
    " It is also important to understand that Thinkpads from IBM have two separate firmwares: the BIOS, and the Embedded Controller program. A given BIOS version will require a certain version of the Embedded Controller program. The IBM documentation is sometimes unclear about the order in which these two firmwares should be updated. On most, but not all Thinkpads, the correct update order is Embedded Controller program first, and then the BIOS. Make sure to do the two updates immediately one after the other. Newer models from Lenovo update both the Embedded Controller program and the BIOS at the same time, so you don't have to worry about it."
    Could anyone let me know if this applies ? I searched the Lenovo site for a  Embedded Controller program for my laptop model but found none. So wondering if this model would require the Embedded Controller program update ?
    Thanks.
    Alex

  • HP Compaq dc7700p INTEL HOST EMBEDDED CONTROLLER INTERFACE (HECI) DRIVER

    Hi.
    I jusy took a HP Compaq dc7700p Small Form Factor. I just realised that there is no Intel Host Embedded Controller Interface (Heci) Driver. I use Windoes 7 32 bit. Why there is no driver for this computer with this System? I need help I really need to do a Wireless Connection please. And the sp34743.exe it's not helping at all.
    Caprice77

    Hi:
    Unfortunately I do not know how to activate the AMT hardware.
    I doubt that has anything to do with the wireless not working.
    In the device manager, is there a device listed under an Other Devices category labeled as a Network Controller?
    If there is, that is the wireless card that needs a driver.
    If there is no Network Controller device listed, then your PC does not have a wireless card.  That was a rare option on an HP business desktop.
    If there is a Network Controller device listed, please do the following...
    Go to the device manager and click on that Network Controller device needing drivers.
    Then click on the Details tab.  Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
    Drop down on that and select the second item on the list (Hardware ID's).
    Post the top string of characters you see there.

  • G770 on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller

    I have been searching everywhere on the Lenovo support/driver site and on the Internet.  I just updated to Windows 8 Pro and have found that my device manager has an alert.  It in in other devices, titled under unknown device with a heading of on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
    I am trying to find how to fix this.  I had the same problem on a Toshiba but somehow I accidentally fix that laptop.  But the Lenovo G770 has me stumped.
    Please let me know what to do to correct this problem.  I saw something about a Trusted Device or so but still can not find anything.  I also searched Mircosoft but they tell you to go back to the laptop manufacturer.
