Cannot update BIOS on Sattelite A105

[AmEv]

I got a new laptop :banana:


Only problem with it?
It does not hold a charge. :(


Toshiba's site said BIOS may be wrong, preventing charge.

:think:


Downloaded from site.
Loaded ISO onto disk.

Put it back in.
"Blank CD".

:eek:


Tried taking BIOS into my flash drive, make it bootable.

"This is not a bootable drive; please reinsert and try again."

:banghead:


I can't do the auto-install; I'm on Ubuntu.

And I'm at a loss.




Any and all help is appreciated.

Well, I made some progress.

If I extract the ISO and use XP's built-in recorder (on another computer), I am able to see the files.

BUT it still will not boot the image file!

:banana: SUCCESS! :banana:

The trick?
Use the program that comes with the download, let it run Roxio.

Good news: The Fn-Fx keys now work!
Great news: The media keys work.
Bad news: Battery is toast, after all.
