    Check the update log on the Toshiba support site regarding the new BIOS. If the update log doesn't address this issue, don't bother updating.

    Two good things to remember about BIOS updating, to avoid turning your laptop into a brick are:

    -Update only when needed. If the fix mentioned doesn't affect you, don't update.
    -Only download the BIOS from the manufacturer. Never from one of those third party sites that store a bunch of them.

    This is the U.S. site:
