• Satellite A210 FS3, PSAFGC-FS308C. BIOS update gone wrong.

  Hi all

  I'm looking for info on my laptop satellite who died after a bios update.

  Model is A210-FS3 (PSAFGC-FS308C)... bios uncertain.

  I updated this laptop about 6 months ago (been dormant since) through windows7 beta (I know bad idea)... after he stop it came back never to life... He does not POST... Power light just blinks.

  Is there a way to fix this without having to replace the motherboard? I read how to do this with a USB floppy, but it seems sketcky to me.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I think that the replacement of the motherboard is not necessary (in most cases).
  Maybe the ROM module has been flashed properly.
  In this case, the BIOS has to be flashed using the crisis procedure but as far as I know, this can be done by an ASP.

  I found this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=48845

  The guy managed to reflash the BIOS again. But once again, it s a sensitive procedure and usually an ASP must be contacted for a solution.

• Pavilion p7-1040nl: the BIOS update gone wrong; PC does not start.

  Hi, I tried to update my BIOS yesterday, but in the middle of doing so, there was a short cut (what are the chances right?). If the update is not good. And now my pc won't start at all. At the beginning until you get 8 beeps, the hard drive of fans, etc. seem to start, but there is NO video signal and the pc does not continue to start. So I can't even in the BIOS menu, because the monitor remains in sleepmode.
  I tried all the fixes I have found here and on other sites without success. Do you have the cmos pass the thing, disconnected all the pieces one by one, tried to boot with the USB with the BIOS on this subject, but still nothing.
  Does anyone know what anyone else I can try? Or should I accept that my pc is over?

  Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Have you tried clearing the COMS as in the instaructions on the document next to the motherboard web?

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02668523

  I recommend to remove the CMOS battery while the cmos clear. Hold the power button for five seconds while the rider is on the position unequivocally @.

  If it does not, then it's time for a new source desktop PC.

• Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) - BIOS downgrade succesfull

  Hi all
  first of all sorry for my English.

  I am the owner of Toshiba Satellite L30 - 105 (PSL33E) bought in Italy. I wasn't stisfied v3.10 update of the Bios and I searched for the old version of bios, but on the server of European support, all the old bios (-2,6 3.0 etc.) disappeared.

  Read this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=120416 I read about using files of bios of US to downgrade the bios as suggested to user Anhchuong.

  Many of us was skeptical about using U.S. bios on laptop computer EU.

  After a lot of time and knowing US L35 - S2366 (PSL33U) have exactly the same specification of the mine (except mine have 1024 ram instead of 512 b), I decided to use v 3.0 bios version to update my bios. EVERYTHING WORKED!

  At the moment, I am writing from my lappy and I can confirm that CPU temp is degrees 6-7 °.

  Hope this helps someone else.

  Thanks for your posting. This is a very useful info.

• Update of the Satellite L30-105 display pilot

  Could someone give me an idiots guide on how to upgrade a display driver for my Satellite L30 - 105 (PSL33E) Please?

  Laughing out loud. You need a guide to the fool? Come on man ;)
  OK, here is my guide;

  Download the graphics driver for your model of laptop.
  Unzip the package.
  Access to the Device Manager, then mark the graphics card driver update.
  Then a new window will open.
  You must use the second advanced option.
  Then choose the option called Don t research. I will choose the driver (or something like that)
  Point to the place where the driver package was stored on the HARD disk and complete the installation.

• Satellite L30-105 does not recognize the 1 GB of additional RAM

  Hi there I hope someone can help me

  I have a Satellite L30-105 PSL33E, which came with 1 GB of ram installed (2 x 512 MB made by TeamViewer)
  and it's terribly slow with vista, not to mention programs.
  The toshiba website says max RAM is 2 GB, so I bought a Kingston 1 GB ram chip to increase the ram to 1.5 GB. I thought should try before moving to 2 GB

  However after installing memory vivid it's show still only 1 GB in windows and in the bios (894 + the rest for video). It has the latest available BIOS on the site 3.10, yet still does not recognize the chip.

  The chip is installed in the lower slot, including the original 512 at the top (closest to the keyboard)

  Are limited to only some of the Satellite of RAM?
  The old subjects indicate if kingston does not work try corsair.
  Other topics suggested to change slots
  Others suggest that it may have only two of the same ram chips in IE 2 x 512 or 2 x 1 GB, you may not have 1 of each

  Can anyone help? everyone knows about similar problems?

  I will not buy any more RAM to try different brands for the same issue to occur

  Hello

  The L30-105 is able to manage the 1024Mo modules in each location it should be able to update the RAM up to 2 GB.

  > Why the RAM 1 GB module cannot be recognized?
  Perhaps the two modules are not compatible with each other
  I would recommend using two identical modules of the same manufacturing
  I use Kingston modules, they are ok for me

• Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see the DVD - ram UJ-850 s

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista does not recognize the DVD - ram. BIOS recognize DVD-ram. I tried to download the drivers for the DVD-ram, but they are not on the side of Toshiba.

  Who can help me to get the right driver or learn more? Problems with the carpet * a DVD-ram uj-850 s ATA device and windows Vista.

  Hello

  The CD/DVD drive needs no special drivers!
  Vista includes a Microsoft driver that works with all CURIOUS s (CD/DVD drives)

  Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.

  A few questions; did you get any error messages? What is the status of Device Manager? Do you see yellow exclamation points?

  There is an old way to correct a similar drive problem. It worked on XP then try it on Vista OS.
  It of necessary to update the registry entry
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  1. click on the start menu.
  2. If it is a Vista machine in the search box type regedit without quotes.
  3. look for the registry key mentioned above.
  4. in the right panel you'll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and UpperFilter you want to click on each key filter and tap on delete. Click Yes when asked to confirm if you want to delete the key.
  5. restart Windows.
  6 let me know if it works.

• Problems with Benq DC C 700 digital camera on the Satellite L30 105

  Hello

  I have problems with my digital camera when I connect it to my laptop. Whenever I connect the camera to the laptop freezes and gives me the blue screen of death, in other words, the screen you get when a fatal error occurs, and then my laptop must be restarted. If this happens whenever I connect the two.

  I tried the bios update and install the latest orders, but nothing seemed to work. I contacted the support center in Benq and they told me to contact Toshiba as they are sure that the problem is not with the camera. So please someone, if you have any ideas or suggestions or solutions, I'll be happy to hear.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  First of all if you need Toshiba support, you will need to contact Toshiba authorized service partner in your country. This forum here is only a forum for users and you won't find anyone from Toshiba here.

  On the other hand;
  It seems that the Satellite L30-105 has been bundled with Vista. Using this operating system on the L30?
  I read on many problems with the 3rd devices, software, and Windows Vista.

  I put t know what said you, but eventually the software webcam is not 100% compatible with Vista.
  You should know that the BSOD appears if there is a serious hardware problem or software. I don t think that this problem was caused by a hardware issue and so there is only one possibility; software compatibility issues.

  In case you I would update the Vista of the State and I will ask manufacturing webcam if it s 100% compatible with Vista.

  Good luck

• Satellite L30-105 will not boot after memory expansion

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-105, with 1 GB of memory (2 X 512 MB modules).
  I bought 2 X 1 GB-compatible modules to extend the memory to its max.

  When I install the two new modules the laptop won't boot. I tried to install one at the time and both work individually. I also tried 1 X 512 MB
  and 1 X 1 GB, which also worked.

  Help I have updated the bios but still can not computing for work with 2 GB of memory?

  Thank you
  Rebmark

  I am also interested what compatible modules you use.

  Just FYI: your laptop model can handle with 2 GB RAM and compatible module - 1 GB DDR2-400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G).

• Memory not correct system on Satellite L30-105

  I just purcased a Satellite L30-105. It is supposed to be 1024 MB (1 GB) of Ram installed.
  Windows and the BIOS see 894Mb
  In the BIOS it reads memory system: 633 MB
  Extended memory: 894 MB

  Should he not see the complete 1024Mo?
  Can I have a problem with the installed memory?

  Thanks a lot for any advice.

  Hello

  I completely agree with Abe83.
  The graphics card shares memory with the main memory of the laptop and the free difference appears so as a memory system.
  It s nothing unusual and everything is ok with your laptop! Don t worry buddy ;)

• Blue screen when you use the CD/DVD on Satellite L30-105 player

  I have a Satellite L30-105. Recently when using the CD/DVD drive, it began to crash (blue screen) after playing a DVD-video or a music CD.
  Either way, I seem to only get playback of DVD-video and not the main sound track. Does anyone have an idea what may cause these errors.

  Hello

  To my knowledge, the blue screen starts if there is a serious software problem or if some of the equipment is malfunctioning.
  I put t believe that this blue screen error message can be caused by a defective CD/DVD drive.

  Hmm, according to your message and you can not hear the main sound and cannot read music CDs, I think that this problem could be linked to the sound card.

  In the first case I recommend updating the audio driver. If this does not help, try to recover the laptop with the supplied recovery CD and check if the same thing always happens on the new BONES recovered. (Don t install any 3rd party application).

  Good luck

• Windows vitual PC / XPM on Satellite L30-105

  Hello

  I'm running Windows 7 on my Satellite L30 - 105. And it works very well.

  Now I would like to install Windows Virtual PC to run Windows XP virtual Mode. But the laptophardware does not support
  a virtual pc. Is there a solution for this problem?

  Thanks anyway.

  Ciao
  Guido

  Hello

  Sorry mate, I don't have good news for you, but there is no solution for this problem.

  The point is that virtualization must be supported hardware (CPU, motherboard, chipset) and BIOS too. This means that you can t something to use virtualization.

  The only option is to buy a new laptop. ;)

• Satellite L30-105 Dual Boot with XP Possible

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L30-105, and while I do not particularly like Vista, I need to keep it for various reasons. However, I must also now use the laptop with a piece of hardware (a North G2 synthesizer) who does no Vista drivers.

  So I think the best thing I can do is to create a dual boot system, but a lot of articles on the net say you need from your CD original Vista, and of course the laptop does not come with one.

  So what I want to do possible? And there at - it a guide for how to do this? I have an XP license and the CD that I can use for this.

  Hello

  I installed the XP and Vista on my laptop.
  It was a little difficult because the XP installation crushed the Vista MBR (master boot record) and the Boot Manager.
  But I solved it by using the original CD of Vista. I had to borrow from a friend.

  I booted from CD of Vista and it repaired the Vista Boot Manager.
  Then I installed the tool called EasyBCD and set up the Vistas Boot Manager.

  That helped get XP and Vista on two different partitions.

• Satellite L30-105: how to change shared video memory on Vista...

  My question is the same as we can read on this url:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=20578

  But the solution only works with windows xp, anyone know a driver version with which the 'frame buffer' tab is present?
  The latest version of the driver is installed on my Satellite L30-105(catalyst 7.6), 128 MB are shared, but 32 will be enough for me.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I think the problem is that Vista graphic driver does not support this option.
  The option described in the in the other thread was available in the argument XPOS.

  But why would you change? On my L30 128 MB shared memory are activated, but the laptop uses only 64 MB if I put t run all applications performance.
  The pilot controls the amount of shared memory automatically.

  You can se under control panel-> display-> advanced settings
  In the map tab, you can see total graphic memory available (in my case 128 MB) and system memory shared (64 MB)

  By the way; I don't think that 32 MB graphics memory may be sufficient if you're running Vista

• Satellite L30-105 - lack of HARD drive connector

  Hello

  just picked up this laptop Satellite L30-105 for his son who had some hard drive purchased.

  I see specs it's a disc sata hard again, but the problem is that the laptop seems to be missing the connector on the hard drive.

  The laptop has just 1 row of holes where the disk sata hard was 2.

  Anyone knows where to buy connector or any help would be great thanks dave.

  You are right.
  The laptop supports SATA 2.5 HARD disk and so you should be able to use a SATA 2.5 HARD.

  I'm not quite sure which adapter is absent, but my 2.5 SATA HDD contains a piece of plastic that is removable
  Maybe you need it however, I think you could ask for except if a mobile technician in downtown or you could order it from a Toshiba authorized service partner in your country.

  Good bye
