Update bios info.

Hello all.
I'm am searching for a way to update the serial number and model number in the bios after replacing a motherboard on a T500. I tried the Lenovo BIOS flash but it only let me change the last three digits of the model number and it left the first 4 blank. The images we use to install Windows look to the model number on the board to install the hardware packs. Not being able to update the model number means these images fail.
Thanks in advance.

  • 16GB SODIMM anyone interested in pushing TOSHIBA together to update BIOS

    Hi,
    Anyone interested to convice Toshiba to update the  BIOS Memory Reference Code routine to recognize the new 16GByte SODIMM modules released by the memory company I´m Intelligent for the differnet product lines including laptop Satellite?
    We could have 32GB with two slots.
    So, please answer the ones interested and stay tuned.
    Thanks.
    KR,
    RI

    Thanks, Jerry, for the quick reply.
    Before I posted my original question I had been through all available downloads/docs for my Satellite and read up on the Battery Manager feature on some of the Toshiba notebooks.
    My Satellite does NOT have the Battery Manager feature/app among the many Toshiba-branded utilities.  Only "ecoMode," which doesn't appear to do much exept trim down power consumption, and "PC Health Monitor," which reports info on battery charge level, etc, and allows access to Windows power management plans for tweaking.  But no Tosh-branded Battery Manager application...
    What I'm trying to determine is whether it could be ADDED to my machine, by updating BIOS to a newer TOSH version (maybe that's a bad idea), or by downloading a utility app for a newer Toshiba laptop, or both?
    "Officially" it appears that the Battery Manager (and therefore, Eco Charge) was not available for my older L505, but what I want to know is whether I could add it somehow?

    *MSI recommend you to update BIOS with ME8 only if you are using Ivy Bridge 22nm CPU.
    Sorry to say but it seams illogical. AFAIK it is impossible to flash form SB to IB bios using Ivy Bridge. Am I wrong?
    Going further... I can not find any positive reports that users can get working system by  changing cpu to Ivy after all those bad flashes. I see many suggestions to try it but I can not see any "success!" info. IMHO MSI flash procedure is just "somehow" unreliable. It is nice that MSI decided to support IB on older motherboards but we see too many bricks on our forum.
    My idea (wild guess) to avoid bricking is to flash with only one stick of memory.

  • Updated bios GT780R... and now have appearently lost...

    ok so ive updated to the lasted Bios and EC firmware... it took and fine and no errors nothing wrong with the notebook except i seem to have lost alot of the GT780R's bios functions such as the ability to turn off msi logo and show the bios version number/ami logo.... and several others 1761.306 bios and 1761.1461 for the EC updated bios via MSI HQ forum tool, and did EC by Unet and dos... since the tool was pretty damn loud and annoying robot voice ;p neat but lotta excess crap in that tool i didnt like lol ;p but i dont understand why i lost features when this was simply adding support for the VGA using 180W adapters for more power... Edit: if anyone knows if thiers like a spec sheet for the bios for the differences updates be helpful as well

    good news i can now disable quiet boot again ;0 even got pci timer clocks back the only thing that looks missing would be VT disable/enable not that i use it anyways ;p also seems like my fan got a lil louder i didnt notice a difference before but now when i hit cool boost button it turns on right away lol well like 3 sec lag still, but thats normal to when i first got it  so im happy :p its back to what i like/need
    enjoy the info and have a happy notebook bios time ;p use the tool :p defintely with sound turned off it works but damn thats loud lol :p

  • Can not access BIOS after update BIOS

    Can not access BIOS after update X220 BIOS to version 1.19
    Type: 4290-R32
    BIOS: 1.19
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/8duj09uc.txt
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/8duj09uc.iso
    Ask google and try anyway but not work
    - Press ThinkVantage, Press F1, Press Fn+F1
    - Power off, unplug AC, unplug battery, wait 15 miniute, try all again
    - Try to update BIOS again

    That is really weird.
    When you are in Windows, can you test and see if the F1 key is working? If it is working. Shut down the laptop then boot it back up. At the Thinkpad screen, keep spamming the F1 key and see if you are able to boot into BIOS.

  • Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

    I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
    The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
    I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
    Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

  • Issue with updating Security Info on my Microsoft ID

    I am stuck in a vicious circle trying to sort an issue with my Microsoft account.
    I need to remove an old, defunct, email address and add a load of new security info however, depending on whether the date format on the page I keep being directed to is UK or US, either the updates haven’t happened or they won’t
    be happening until next month – which seems ridiculous!
    I’m trying to sign up for a Windows Store developer account to publish a Windows 8 app. I’m using my MSDN subscription to register for this (for free) but there is a step I can’t get past because it insists on sending a code to
    my old email address – to which I have no access. It is picking up this address from my Microsoft Account Security info – however, I updated this info weeks ago. This is the screen I see (I’ve blurred out some of it as it seemed foolish to publish all my security
    info J
    It says my old address will be removed on 03/04/2013 and my new info added on that same date. Does anyone know if this is UK date format 3<sup>rd</sup> April – in which case it’s a long wait or a US date 4<sup>th</sup>
    March in which case it didn’t happen? I’ve tried phoning 5000 and the Microsoft Customer support lines but neither of them have a clue where to start. They just keep asking me if I’ve forgotten my password – which I haven’t.
    Does anyone know how I can resolve this? My only option at the moment is to wait until 3<sup>rd</sup> of April and see if anything changes – which is not ideal.
    Cheers,

    Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

  • Logged-in user info doesn't display after the user updates their info

    I created 2 pages. Page 1 has a recordset that displays only the users username and password, I did a filter on this recordset as username = session var = MM_Username. when they click update, which is just a link to page 2, they go to page 2 which has a recordset that filters their user info the same way and allows them to update their username and password. I used an update behavior on this page as well. So, when the user updates their info it DOES change the database info and works great.
    The problem: When the user goes back to page 1 to see their updated username and password that they just updated, it is BLANK. no info displays on screen, even when I refresh the page. it's if the MM_Username var is not refreshing while logged-in. Because when the user logs out and logs back in, it DOES display new username and password on page 1.
    Now it DOES work when I take the filter off of page 1's recordset, but this won't do me any good b/c the user should of course only see their info.
    I am running DW CS3, php, and mysql.
    Please Help! thanks.

  • H61MU-E35 (B3) Updating BIOS....File Not Found Error

    I have MSI H61MU-E35 (B3) Motherboard with Intel i3 CPU.
    I downloaded latest BIOS File  7680vC3.zip (on web page it's says Version: 12.3 from  -> -www.msi.com/support/mb/H61MUE35_B3.html#down-bios
    Using Windows XP OS  From 7680vC3.zip => Extracted E7680vC3.exe  => Placed on USB Drive (I did not format USB Pendrive, and used by just making it empty by deleting files) ==>  Ran this exe file on the computer where this motherboard is....
    Inside Windows XP, when BIOS Update process started, In a green window, it shown me current BIOS old version and  New Version side by side.  (I did not given much attention to notedown from which number to which number it's updating).
    In Windows XP after BIOS Process completed, it restarted computer (I kept USB File as it in the computer as I had read that, I have to keep USB in computer after restart).
    When computer restarted...nothing came on the screen and just blank screen for long time and on the right side on screen bottom corner only letter like: A2 stayed for long long time.  I waited for 15 minutes but nothing was happening except blank screen...
    So, I restarted computer....and kept USB as it is in the computer....but Nothing comes on the screen...
    After I concluded that, something is wrong, to resolve the issue...
    --- What Try and Experiments I have done  ----------------------------------------------------------------
    (1) I placed Restarted computer without USB: and Message comes on the screen is:
    BIOS Update is not yet completed, please insert the USB pen drive  and reset system.
    (2) I refered some forums, and also contacted MSI Support. As suggested, I formatted USB Drive with FAT32 and placed  E7680IMS.C30  file (only one file) on USB placed in computer and started computer.. Now Message is coming:
    Updating BIOS...... File Not Found..
    Note that: E7680IMS.C30  File was given to me by MSI Support Staff as I did not kept Original files during formatting USB PenDrive.
    But computer is not looking for .C30 Rom File, Computer is looking for .BIN File
    (3) I have remove the battery and waited for 5 min. and placed again, to reset BIOS, but not difference on result or on message...
    Renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to EIVB.BIN
    Result: Just Blank Screen with A2 text on right side bottom corner, No other message
    In some other same issue post, they recommand to change ROM File name to: EIVB.BIN which worked for others, so I also tried and renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to EIVB.BIN, in this case, I was able recreate original Issue:  When computer boots, Screen stays completely Blank, and on the right side bottom corner, only 2 digit tect comes is: A2. Computer does not give any other message and nothing happens...even I waited for 30 minutes...
    Also, by looking at USB Pendrive light, I can tell that, motherboard is reading file on the Pen Drive...
    Renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to E7680IMS.BIN
    Result: Message comes on the screen: Updating BIOS...... File Not Found..
    (5) What I am thinking is:  When motherboard power-ups, it's giving me two different type of Valid message based on if USB is in the computer or not, based on if file name is .BIN or not, so I believe motherboard is still not dead and there are hope to feed the file which motherboard is looking for. But issue how to find what specific file which it's looking for... Even sometime I have seen at screen right side bottom area, 2 Digit numbers are changing just like system is doing internal healthcheck before booting up...
    (6) Note that, I would like to put old version file on USB to feed, but one of the biggest issue with MSI is, once you download EXE from their website, to Extract EXE file content it needs to be run on the same motherboard computer, so in my case, if your motherboard is not in bootable cituation then you can not extract any other BIOS File to try...
    Please help me...by havin this computer down....I am suffering everyday...
    (By profession, I am electronics Engineer and have worked with programming Microcontroller and bootloaders, but in this case, I do not have SPI Programmer to program BIOS chip externally.)

    Thank you flobelix  and Nichrome.
    Quick Result Summary:  128MB USB Key formatted FAT32 with HP Tool, made MS-Dos Bootable and placed EIVB.BIN file given by  flobelix, but final result is: Screen comes Blank and only shows "A0" Code at right side bottom corner. nothing else.
    Detail
    Since Flobelix proviced ROM BIN File, I was too exicited to try it out and here is what I did...
    (1) As per Nichrome link for HP USB Format Tool, I installed it on "Win XP" machine, and formatted 128MB USB key by selecting "FAT32" and selected option to make "MS-DOS Bootable" and shown Win98 source files as per the instruction.
    -128MB USB drive made bootable with FAT32.
    (2) I downloaded EIVB.rar given by flobelix and extracted and copied EIVB.BIN file on USB root.
    Inserted USB in MSI and powered up...
    As soon as I give power:  Imidiately one normal beep and Screen comes completly Dark Blank. No message about "File not found".  only at right side bottom of screen, it shows "A0".
    I inserted USB key in each and every USB slot, but result is same: Screen stays Blank and on right side corner only "A0" letter.
    I given around 3-5 minutes time to see something changes on screen, but no change.
    - If I power-up computer without connecting any USB Drive: then message comes on screen that: Bios Update has not completed, please insert USB Key and Reset System.
    - On USB Key, If I put ROM File with any other name (except EIVB.BIN) then Message comes:  Updating BIOS... File Not Found...
    - I have removed battery to give a try for resetting BIOS, but not change.
    Question:
    (1) Is it possible that, motherboard is looking for specific version of File or some different version of file ? and just staying silent and not complaining for existing EIVB.BIN ?
    Here is I experiment:  I simply created empty text file (0 Byte) on USB Drive and given name EIVB.BIN  and booted up computer and same result: Blank Screen and just "A0" on right side bottom corner.
    So, it tells me that, when power is given, the program which executes in motherboard for BIOS, it is not able to identify real or fake EIVB.BIN.  I think, it's looking for some specific file and when not found, it's getting confuse on what to do....and not saying anything on the screen....
    Has anyone old version BIN file of H61MU-E35 (B3)  ?
    Is there any trick so I can download older version Packaged EXE from MSI website and extract it ? I can give a try....

  • Item text in Purchase Order getting updated with info. record Purchase Order Text

    Hello All,
    I am working in a roll out project and facing issue in text repeating twice for the line item in the Purchase Order for the new company code for which rollout is happening
    Issue:
    Item text in Purchase Order getting updated with info. record Purchase Order Text
    01) PO Text is maintained in the material master under "Purchase Order Text" tab
    02) The PO text that is maintained in material master is getting updated in the Purchase Info. Record
    03) When Purchase Order is created, the "Item Text" gets updated in the Purchase Order automatically only for the new company code for which rollout is happening. when printed, this results in the text getting duplicated twice
    03.1) this behavior is not observed in the Plants/ Company code that is already Live
    Configurations in the system:
    The copying rules for the "Texts for Purchase Orders" is
    Source Object = "Info Record", Source Text="Purchase Order Text", Fix="*"
    We have modified the Purchase Order form to print one of  the condition types maintained for calculating the tax. Other than this there is no change to the plants that are already live.
    I could not locate any "Purchase Organization" / "Company Code" / "Plant specific configuration.
    Am I missing any configuration or where can I look in what is causing this error.
    Request help from the experts in the forum.
    with Regards,
    Dhandapani R

    There is no company/purchasing/plant specific customizing for purchase order text.
    The customizing copying rules for the "Texts for Purchase Orders" affects all equally .
    If the text in the purchase order in ME23N is already filled different to other plants, then you either have a modification in place, or the texts are differently maintained in the referenced data (vendor, material, info record, contract)

    It seems Toshiba has published a special version of BIOS for Windows Vista.
    If you want you can check it on the Toshiba driver page.
    But if your Vista runs correctly on the notebook with previous BIOS version you dont need to update the BIOS.
    I would recommend updating the BIOS if any strange operational behavior will appear.

  • Can't update BIOS?

    Am I to understand that I simply cannot update my BIOS, on account of that I'm using WinXP with NTFS and don't know anyone with 98/ME? I really hope I'm missing something here, because that sucks. I shouldn't have to rely on "friends" with outdated operating systems in order to keep my BIOS up to date.  
    I also don't usually keep a floppy drive in my computer. I had to install one specifically to flash my BIOS. Can't this be automated by Windows yet? Sheesh. A little help here?

    Do not flash your bios from a floppy diskette. it will fail.  If you will
    do a search of people who have done this they all have problems flashing from
    a 3 1/2 disk.  Flash from hard drive or cd rom as stated in flash procedures for
    you mobo.  Finally if there really is not a problem with your bios and hardware their is not good reason to update bios.  If its not broke don't fix it!!!!!!!!
