W510 bios update gone bad -- help please

Just went through a montly (+/-) update process through System Update.
Updated BIOS in my W510... along with a host of other things.. but from what I've
read i fear its the bios.
all went normally (as it always has).. machine rebooted after update.. stopped at the thinkpad
splash screen. Just hung there. I left it all day (figured it was doing something?) came back
at night, it was still hung.
tried to force reboot.. i got two beeps.. then three beeps.. nothing happened.
every time i pressed power button.. two beeps.. pause.. three beeps.
took out batt / restared .. no screen.. HD spins / fan spins / power light is on.. but machine
seems dead.
Anyone have any ideas whats going on? how to fix? was it the bios update? can it be rolled back?
Thanks in advance

Were you trying to use http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-74858 ???
If so, we bricked several machines at the beginning of April and asked Lenovo to remove the update. I see that hasn't been done. Maybe now they will.

Bios update gone bad

I have a T60 and I just tried to update the BIOS using the following utility from Lenovo:
Version:                  7IET33WW (1.14)
Release Date:        2008/04/25
File link                   7iuj12us.exe
File size                  2,781,304
File description     ThinkPad BIOS update utility
After the utility completed the update, I followed the instructions to restart and verify the version. After hitting F1, I am presented with a lock icon which has a screen beside it, which I believe to be a prompt for a power on password. Not knowing what it is since I never had one set up, I try my windows password and that of my wife's which we use on the computer (set up when we set up the fingerprint log -in). Nothing works. I can hit enter and access the BIOS setup, but no changes can be made in "user mode" (I never set up a Supervisor password either).
I did read/try the solution which Mark_Lenovo (Admin) posted in other threads regarding removing the battery and backup battery, but it did not work. What is funny is that the power on password is only requested when trying to access the BIOS, I can log on and use the computer normally with the fingerprint reader. I just can not access the BIOS.
I am hoping others who had similar problems might have had better guidance on how to proceed. My initial call to Lenovo proved to be less than comforting stating that even the POP can not be reset and can only be fixed by MB replacement at my cost.
Thanks in advance for any help.
System is a T60, type 8743, WinXP, T7200, 2Gb, current BIOS after update 1.14 (7IET33WW) dated 2008-04-16, Embedded Controller Ver 1.07, old BIOS version unknown, system build Dec 2007.

Update gone wrong help please

Hi
I have an N95 8Gb, which I am trying to pdate to the latest software. I needed to do some updates on PC suite and Nokia updater ( as I havnt used either for a while ). I did a back up which seemed to work fine as I have a big content copie file. I then proceeded to update. The new software downloaded ok and started to install, it all seemed to be going OK until the pc lost connection with the phone. I got instructions to remove the cable, battery and re-connect ( can't just remember the exact order but I followed it ) and hit retry, it didn't re-connect so I tried several times. The software has now hung at this point, and I can only escape my disconnecting the USB. Now my phone won't boot or connect. Anyone, please where do I go from here ?
Many thanks
Steve

The article isn't mine, it was written by a friend who goes by the name "psychomania" round these parts.
If the phone does get bricked, a Nokia Care Point usually has the necessary hardware and software to revive it or can sent it off to a service centre where they definitely have what's needed. So, your assumption was correct.
The content copier file is so large because of all the additional stuff not in the ROM that's installed with the firmware. Stuff like Ngage, for example, which takes up about 15 MB all on its lonesome. Then there are third-party themes you may have installed, additional software, user files...

Hi i want to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to OS X Mavericks or OS X Yosemite. My software update menu dosnn´t find any updates available. Help please, what can i do to upgrade to OS X Mavericks or newer version?

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, the computer's also incompatible with Mountain Lion and Mavericks; if desired, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Getting error message2324 when downloading the new update for itunes help please

getting error message 2324 when downloading the latest update of itunes help please.
Will not let me uninstall itunes from my computer, gives me the message that I don't have access need administrator. ( I am the only user of this computer)
Thank you
Chris

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

IOS update interrupted TWICE - help please!

Guys I need help please.
My internet connection is really bad. Last night, my iOS 6 update was 8 minutes from completion and my internet cut out, and about 5 minutes ago, my internet cut out again while my download was like 400 MB through.
Every time my internet cuts out, it completely restarts the download.
Is there any way I can find the downloads and start off from where they stopped?
Any help greatly appreciated!!

One option would be to manually download the *.ipsw files from another computer with a better connection and then install the IPSW from the first computer. I actually prefer this method, even in an environment like my work one where we have lots of bandwidth. It seems to be more reliable. If you have plenty of bandwidth you can download the *.ipsw files pretty quickly. At work I downloaded the 983 mb file in just over 2 minutes..so maybe try a public Internet place. Just do a search on ipsw download for iOS 6.

Satellite Pro L300-EZ1004X - TouchPad stopped working, BIOS update does not help

I have a Satellite Pro L300-EZ1004X laptop. Few days ago TouchPad stopped working. This is not a Fn + F9 issue.
In Device Manager it looks like hidden device and has (!) on it. Re-installing Synaptics drivers, updating them, removing the device in Safe Mode - nothing works. (TouchPad did not work in Safe Mode). One of the forums mentioned BIOS update. For some strange reason the latest BIOS for this specific laptop is from 2008 (ver. 1.5). Other L300 laptops have option to update BIOS to ver. 2.20 (2010) but not mine! I tried to load it (ver. 2.20)from Windows and from boot disk without success. I installed BIOS ver. 1.5. After reboot - keyboard stop working! And TouchPad ... still dead and still appears as hidden device. Using external mouse I restarted the laptop and get into the BIOS settings. In Advanced Settings disabled TouchPad completely. KEYBOARD START WORKING IN WINDOWS!!!
Any suggestions on how to make this TouchPad to work? Or how to get newer BIOS for this Laptop?
Thank you in advance!

Sounds like it has died, you can purchase a new one from a parts supplier and pay someone to install it or if you are any good with such things you can try to do it yourself. I suggest just sticking with the external mouse.

T410s Bios Update Gone Wrong

I hoping someone can direct me to a fix for this issue. Seems to me I can't be the only one having this particular issue.
I downloaded the windows bios update utility and proceeded to update the BIOS. The utility ran for 10 minutes and it just hung there. Eventually I ended up rebooted the computer and once I did that the computer would not start again.
One long been and two short beeps and this indicates a system board failure.
Here is what I did;
1. Updated bios in windows
2. Computer would not start
3. Unplugged power and removed battery
4. Held power for multiple 30 seconds
5. Disconnected battery under the keyboard (waited two hours before trying again)
Any advice is very much appreciated.
Shawn.

If the machine is still under warranty call Lenovo and tell them that the BIOS update killed the motherboard. It might or might not get you where you need to be.
In case of an expired warranty, you're on your own an the motherboard replacement is going to be on you...
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

W510 BIOS update

I have put off flashing my BIOS for a long time (didn't want to fry my system board as so many others have done) but now I'd like to give it a shot because I think the outdated BIOS is responsible for some odd behavior.
I figured I'd run System Update and actually run the BIOS update it always tries to give me, but TVSU doesn't show a BIOS update available anymore. Why would that be? I would rather run the BIOS update through System Update than download it directly (seems safer) but maybe I'm wrong. Could I just download it directly and circumvent TVSU?

Cool, but have you flashed a W510? They really have a knack for this, do a search for BIOS update in this forum and you'll see tons of examples of people experiencing what I just did - following instructions, but the machine just dies after a reboot.
Anyway, I downloaded BIOS 1.41 and burned it as a bootable ISO using MagicISO. After changing boot order, it booted from CD and ran the BIOS update successfully. I got to a page that said "either leave CD in, reboot, let the CD come back to this page, then eject CD and reboot; or take CD out now, reboot, and change boot order and boot into OS." So I did the latter (seemed less redundant), I ejected the CD, and hit "enter" to reboot. It rebooted, and I hit F1 to enter BIOS setup in an effort to change the boot order, but it froze at "entering BIOS setup." I left it for a long while, then I was forced to pull the plug.
Since then, when trying to boot (on either battery or AC) the bluetooth light comes on, as does the ThinkLight, and CAPS and power button, but then they all turn off except the power light, and nothing else happens. Nothing on the screen. The fan and harddrive run but the HDD access light never blnks.
I do have antivirus, but how does that affect BIOS? The operating system isn't even active during BIOS operations is it?
Tech support had me verify it wasn't a static buildup by doing the discharge procedure. They confirmed the BIOS update went wrong and were quick to get my on-site support in action. So far I've appreciated the professionalism and promptness of their response - an improvement over previous experiences. Tech is supposed to service the machine tomorrow after the motherboard is delivered via next-day air.
BTW I informed myself on this prior to executing. I knew it was highly likely I would brick the machine. I timed it in a week that's not essential to have my powerful laptop. I fully expected this to happen. It was worth a try though, since I was having mid-suspend operation deaths that I'm convinced were BIOS-related, since a later BIOS version than mine specified suspend improvements. It's been a long and drawn-out ordeal with this machine that hasn't been solved by anything I've tried - you can read my plight by searching these forums too. The only thing I hadn't tried was a BIOS update which was suggested by Lenovo reps many times during tech calls. I knew better than them though, that the update would likely fail and give me grief at a busy time in my life. So I declined until this week.
Overall I'm concerned that this is so common on these machines - or at least it's so easy to screw the process up. I remember reading a thread on here where an experienced computer guy, who had flashed many BIOS previously, was terrified of doing so on the W510. Now I see why.

B575e BIOS update gone really bad.

I have a "small" problem that I hope someone can help me with. I just bought a nice little Lenovo B575e 368522G Notebook. For some strange reason, which I can not remember now, I decided to update the BIOS. Was it necessary? Of course NOT! Why did I do it? Maybe because I have a habit to always make sure that my computers have the latest updates available. I have made updates to the BIOS / firmware a number of times, both at home and at work, so this was nothing new to me.
What was new for me was that for the first time I could actually flash an INCORRECT software without being stopped. Normally there is a message if something is wrong and the update is stopped BEFORE it begin. In addition, both versions are usually displayed. Yes! I noticed several warning messages, but that's nothing unusual. In retrospect, I should probably pondered upon these messages a little bit more. Anyway, the update began and after a few seconds and the following message was displayed. "Incorrect package information detected." Whoops! Now I understood that I had a delicate problem on my hands.
Of course, Windows (7/64 bit) would not start. The boot sequence stops at the Boot device list where both DVD and HDD are shown BUT the only option that will work is the BIOS Setup. When i enter the BIOS Setup i get two error messages. First: "Formset 3E59A2-AA28-42F4-BCC0-AEDFE88106AD Failed to load storage: LBC. Status : Device Error" i click OK and then a second message is displayed: "Formset 6DB6BE53-00DE-43D9-87EC-59EDBC1E988F Failed to load storage: LBC. Status: Devide error". The same messages also comes up when changes in the BIOS are saved.
Have tried various settings in the BIOS to see if I could get Windows to boot. Among other things, the obvious "SATA Controller Mode Option" that I did put to "AHCI". I've tried several other settings but nothing has helped. Also tried to reset the BIOS, with the "Secure Rollback Prevention" Disabled. Restoring appeared to work initially but after reboot nothing has been changed in the BIOS.
I've been looking in the Community Knowledge Base but could not find anything related to my problem. So, is there anyone who can have mercy upon me and help me with this problem? Does anyone know how / if it is possible to get hold of the "original factory" BIOS for a B575e Notebook?. Thus the BIOS that I "trashed". Or maybe something else that would fix this quandary - if so, i would be very very grateful.
The file that I downloaded from Lenovo's support page, and updated the BIOS with, was: hpuj50uc.iso ver.1.01-1.07 dated from 16 Oct. 2012, and should match both Win 7 and 8 32/64 bit. This update gave me UEFI BIOS Version: HPET63WW (1.01) Date 2012-09-03 and Embedded Controller Version: HPEC14WW (1.02) + an otherwise dead Notebook.
Thanks in advance

Dear thowal and Lenovo Ladies and Gentlemen!
I have exactly the same problem as thowal has. His description is correct but I would like to put here some additional comments.
UEFI-BIOS issue
The initial BIOS version is: HPET18WW(1.03), released 05/29/2012.
The HPET63WW is BIOS for a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop type based on the following displaying at BIOS startup:
“Phoenix SecureCore Tiano™ for ThinkPad”,
furthermore I tried to use the exe version (h9uj50us.exe) too (of course when the Windows was still running), but it was terminated with an error message that the program does not know the system i.e. it does not know Lenovo IdeaPad B575E. I tried both Windows 7 and 8, because it was not unequivocal for me first time what does “system” mean – operating system or hardware. I looked at the screen messages more detailed and the exe has been produced also for Lenovo ThinkPad.
I am a Hungarian, but there is not Hungarian Lenovo support page, we are forwarded to US support pages. I thought that this is the problem, i.e. the US B575E is not exactly the same as the Hungarian version, therefore I looked at some other Lenovo support pages near Hungary (German, Austrian, Polish), but there are the same versions everywhere.
I kindly ask Lenovo to remove incorrect versions from Lenovo IdeaPad B575E/BIOS and to upload the latest proper BIOS versions (both exe and iso).
Fan issue
Why did I try to update my BIOS?
The laptop fan is always working on high speed independently the state, i.e. either only in the BIOS configuration menu or under Windows, all the same. I tried both Windows 7 and 8 with several power management settings, and the power management was enabled in the BIOS.
My question is whether is this mentioned high fan speed normal?
My girlfriend has an IBM ThinkPad, bought in 2005, it works 12-14 hours every day (office and internet browsing), but it is generally silent. Its fan works very rarely. I have a Fujitsu Lifebook laptop (company laptop), it works 10-12 hours per days (office and internet browsing), but also its fan works very rarely. Fujitsu has an Intel i5 CPU with 35W TDP inside. In Lenovo B575E an AMD APU is with 18W TDP. I know that ThinkPad and Lifebook are not the same price and technical category as IdeaPad, but 35W TDP vs. 18W TDP at the same use…?
I do not want to play computer games, I only want to use office applications and internet browsers, but I need a quiet machine.
My question again: Is it normal, that fan of my Lenovo IdeaPad B575E is always working with high speed?
Thank you.
