What is new in BIOS v3.0 for Portege R830, R840 and R850 series

Hi
Toshiba released updated BIOS version 3.00-WIn on the 11/08/2011.
Has anybody installed this and/or know what it covers?
I hesitate to install without knowing what may be altered.
Many thanks for any comments.

Hi
As far as I know Toshiba European driver page does not provide details what has been changed in the new BIOS versions. But I found the Toshiba US driver page and there you can find all the details about the BIOS changes.

    Hi,
    i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
    I realy need some advice.
    Thank's to all.

    Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
    Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

  • What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    Just an FYI.  The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before.  Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:
    Site map of Communities and Categories
    The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini.   It is no bigger than many an external hard drive.  But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately.  They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display.   Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer.   I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues.  Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup.

  • Hi, can anyone tell me, if i purchase a used iphone4, how will i be able to register it with my apple id? currently what ever i do it asks me for the apple id and password of the previous owner. Please help

    hi, can anyone tell me, if i purchase a used iphone4, how will i be able to register it with my apple id? currently what ever i do it asks me for the apple id and password of the previous owner. Please help

    you have to restore to ios 6 and then sign in with your own apple id,
    any apps etc on the iphone now, will not be able to be backed up and used in the future as they are not linked to your apple ID. and if you plan on using the previous owners ID then you need there [*** which I assume you dont have.
    simply just restore using itunes then setup as new with all your details and your done, you can go to the appstore and start getting your own apps

  • What should I do if the encryption for FileVault has paused and won't restart?

    What should I do if the encryption for FileVault has paused and won't restart?

    If you don't already have a current backup of all data, back up before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility.
    In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. When prompted, enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
    Then, from the menu bar, select
              File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
    Enter the password again.
    You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.
    If you can't turn off encryption in Disk Utility because the menu item is grayed out, you'll have to erase the volume and then restore the data from a backup. Select the Erase tab, and then select
              Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    from the Format menu.
    You can then quit to be returned to the main Recovery screen. Follow these instructions if you back up with Time Machine. If you use other backup software, follow its developer's instructions.
    Don't erase the volume unless you have at least two complete, independent backups. One is not enough to be safe.

    Hi
    Toshiba does not provide any official informations about BIOS updates on the European notebooks.

  • What is the different between JMS Client for sonicMQ 4.0 and sonicMQ 6.1?

    hi everybody,
    I'm currently in big crisis and hope somebody out there
    can give me some guidance.
    We have a JMS client developed by an ex-colleague. The jms client was
    developed specifically for SonicMQ 4.0. Recently, we are upgrading to
    SonicMQ 6.1 and thus, we re-compile his code. Before re-compiling his
    code, we had put sonic_Client.jar and sonic_Crypto.jar in the library
    directory. There was no error.
    We were able to startup our receiver client without error. The receiver
    subscribed to the SonicMQ server 6.1 successfully. We could see it in the
    SonicMQ Management console. However, when we send a topic, the
    receiver client does not consume. All of us had been working day and night
    to find out the answer but no progress until now.
    We have a couple of properties file and I think, jmsconnect.properties file is
    the one been used. This is the content:
    # Must enter value if JNDIURL below, is not specified
    BROKER=mssonq:2506
    JNDIURL=
    MODETYPE=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
    TOPICCONNECTIONFACTORY=
    QUEUECONNECTIONFACTORY=
    The previous version that was developed by my ex-colleague is still running
    fine in the current production server.
    Please let me know if the jmsconnect.properties is correct or wrong. By the
    way, what are the major code changes required for jms client that was
    meant for SonicMQ 4.0 to get it upgraded for SonicMQ 6.1.
    Any help will really appreciate.
    thanks & regards,
    Kenny

    AT&T is a GSM carrier. Sprint and Verizon are CDMA. The CDMA iPhone 4 has no SIM slot. The CDMA iPhone 4S does but the phones still can't be used on GSM in the U.S. The software versions are the same across carriers at this time.

  • What are steps to design robotic arm for inverse kinematics calculation and 3D simulation???

    I want design a 5 axis robotic arm for my college project and I wand to simulate the model before building the hardware so plz help me to design the arm in labview

    If you are familiar with the Denavit-Hartenberg convention the LabVIEW Robotics Module has functions to visualize and find numerical inverse kinematics for serial robotic arms. Be aware though that there is a visualization bug that affects prismatic joints, causing them to be treated as revolute joints. The inverse\forward kinematic solutions should be correct though.

  • AC adapter for Portege R830

    Hi there
    I own a Toshiba Portege R830 (P/N PT321U-04S019B).
    It's original AC adapter was lost a long time ago so I brought chinese analogue, that turned out to be no good.
    Now I want to buy original one. But I can not find out its model. I only remember that it's output was 75W.
    Another point is that I've changed my laptop's battery to 9-cell. Do I need more powerful AC adapter now?
    Would you please tell me what do I need to buy and is there some place where I can buy original parts from Toshiba?
    Thank you!

    Even if you replaced the battery with a stronger one, you dont need another, stronger AC adaptor.
    The battery charging procedure will take longer but I guess this should not be a big issue for you
    As mentioned by Dr.Lamp; the new AC adaptor should support the 19V and 3.42A
    The Volt value is very important and you need exactly the Adaptor which meets this 19V requirement. The Ampere (A) value can be little bit different but should not be too low.

  • Floppy Disk drives for Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series

    I have four Satellite Pro laptops - a 4340, a 4310, a 4270 and a 4280 and I'm having difficulty getting the 4310 and the 4270 to recognise a particular FDD. My understanding was that Mitsumi D353G FDDs were compatible with these 4200 and 4300 series laptops but I can't get the 4270 and the 4310 to "see" them. They will both however "see" an alternative FDD I have - a Pansonic JU-226A202FC but I only have one of them and two laptops needing a replacement FDD. I have tried a D353G that I know works (from my 4280) in both the 4310 and the 4270 but to no avail. I'm keeping an eye out for another Pansonic JU-226A202FC FDD on ebay but no luck so far. It's so frustrating as I'm sure a D353G FDD should work in the 4270 and 4310 and I have two spare ones which I wanted to use. I've looked in TSETUP.exe and can see no settings I can change to make these laptops see the D353G FDDs so any help or insight greatly appreciated. Does anyone out there have a 4270 or a 4310 successfully running a D353G FDD or, is this a quirk and these two particular models were only made to work with a Pansonic JU-226A202FC FDD not the D353G FDDs? Any clues?

    Hello
    Unfortunately I am not technician but I assume that there is obviously some problem with compatibility. It is possible that pin assignment is different and you can not use them. If you want to have a precise explanation you should contact technicians. I am pretty sure that they have motherboard schemes and can give you a proper explanation and advice how to handle with this problem.
    Good luck!
