Changing the settings of the BIOS with Satellite L505D-S5006

Hello! I am trying to access my BIOS to change some settings in it, but when I enter the BIOS Setup I can't change anything in there (everything is greyed out) and the options are minimal. Currently, my BIOS version is 1.0.0. I tried to download the needed update for it, but when I install and try to run it, it says "cannot retrieve information from the system BIOS. BCPSYS block signature not found. Error code:-100. »

I am downloading from this page here: [http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=EU]
* Product type: * for laptop
* Family: * satellite
* Series of products: * Satellite L series
* Model: * Satellite L505D
* Short model: * (for some reason any the only option here is PSLT9E, but my PSLV6U reading on the bottom of the laptop.) This has something to do with not updated to the correct version, I wonder?)

So I have to skip the last step and [http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/tracker.jsp?file=http%3a%2f%2fsupport1.toshiba-tro.de%2ftedd-files2%2f0%2fbios-20100510134014.zip] appears so I downloaded and installed and that's where the problems start.

In short, there is an another easier way to enter a BIOS where I can change the settings? Or what I need to find a different BIOS update?

Thanks in advance for the help!

The whole story is a bit strange.
Every new notebook comes without any limitations of the BIOS, and when you buy a new laptop, for that you must have full access to all the available BIOS settings.
So the question is:
Have you bought this laptop like new?
Is - the first time you try to change something in the BIOS?
You may have defined user password (Toshiba Assist > course > user password)?

You can use Toshiba hardware configuration tool to change the settings (settings of the BIOS)?

    Have you tried to update the BIOS? On the Toshiba site, I can find a newer version that you have right now. Check it!

    Before setting a supervisor password load default settings in the BIOS and then you can set the password and try again. Maybe it works.

    If someone has the original settings, I would be grateful for any help.

    Derek has soon

    Hello Derek

    Use the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings and change the order of boot devices. This option is under the STARTUP tab. Otherwise, you can insert the recovery CD when the unit is turned OFF. Turn it on and immediately press the C button. keep it down for a few seconds and unit is forced from the CD/DVD drive.

    You may or may not need to change the BIOS settings.  Assuming that you have a bootable CD with this tool, put it in your CD drive and restart the computer.  One of the 3 things will happen:

    1. the computer starts from the CD and you can follow all instructions you have Symantec.

    2 watching very carefully that the computer starts.  You may see a message that says something like "press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.  If you see this message, press a key (for example, the space bar) and the computer boots from the CD.

    3. watch very carefully that the computer starts.  You will see a message that says something like, "to change settings, press F1."  The key that you press on will be different depending on your particular computer.  It might be F1 or F10 or del key.  Whatever it is, press this button and you will enter the BIOS configuration utility.  From there, you can change the boot order to CD first.  Directions to navigate the BIOS Setup will be displayed on the screen, but they will involve using the button tab, enter, and arrow keys, because your mouse does not work in this utility.

  • Satellite 1000-S158 changed the BIOS password on an empty

    I changed the BIOS password on an empty (blank). I can't access the BIOS. Pressing on enter: it shows the error isn't the right password.
    How can I fix?

    Hmm. sounds you did something wrong maybe you misspelled or set a different password?

    Anyway, the point is that you are not able to bypass the BIOS password screen and in this case you will be unable to start Notepad.

    The problem is that you cannot remove the BIOS password, this can be done by a technician of ASP.

    In my opinion only technician in ASP can help you.

  • Satellite M40 - how to reflash the BIOS with the same version?

    Hey guys read the forums trying to find a solution for my problem. After that I reformatted the hard drive with the original CD every time you restart computer that wifi will go down, even if the switch is turned "on" and will not come on until you turn off manually and powered.

    The last time I fixed it by the BIOS update (newer) 1.70 this time I can't reflash BIOS since it's flash-based window and it verifies that I have 1.70. I reinstalled the latest drivers and software for all. I have searche too many old BIOS files if someone older mind Sending via 1.60, 1.50, for this computer would be nice greatrly it is M40 (PSM40E), it is the model with the video card Nvidia 6600.
    Or any idea how can I reflash 1.70 again?

    Thank you, Daniel

    Hello!

    Flashing the BIOS with an equal or older version is not possible. Therefore, you must go to an authorized service provider.
    Technicians can relfash with a same or older version.

    If you don't know where is the nearest ASP you should look on the Toshiba site. There you can search for it.

    Good bye

  • No AHCI in the BIOS in Satellite Pro A200

    I just installed an ssd and would like to change the bios to ahci utility but it is not an area that I am able to do this. the computer is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 (psfa1a-003002).

    I have to update the BIOS? Where can I get the update and how can I update?

    As I know the BIOS update does not offer some additional options. Please check the settings of the BIOS again. In the BIOS options there SATA advanced option and there you can change between compatibility and AHCI mode.

    I have it on my P200. It is almost identical machine but 17 and your model 15.

  • Maybe it's to rewrite the BIOS with crisis recovery mode?

    Hey everybody,

    my laptop 'freezes' during BIOS 'PHOENIX' updated 2 years ago.
    SERVICE told to change the motherboard, the price as new pc, so I bought new laptop.

    I keep looking at the toshiba forum always, so I read a lot of information on the MODE of RECOVERY from CRISIS.
    so I tried to check my laptop died after 2 years.

    My satellite M100 starts in crisis recovery mode Fn + B.
    my laptop starts up to CRISIS MODE, but do not read the USB STICK
    I did the flash with the CRISDISK 1.0.0.4 USB key program, but I'm not sure I did it way right!

    My question is:
    is it really possible to REWRITE the bios with crisis recovery mode, where I can read more information on how to do it.

    I want back my M100 :)))

    Hey,.

    As Akuma writes that you should try a USB FDD instead a USB key. Key USB is supported only on new models of laptops, but as far as I know USB FDD will be always supported.

    In any case, just for your information: you should know what you're doing. It is a delicate and risky procedure and in the worst cases you might destroy the whole ROM module but if you already have a new laptop I think that it s a problem for you. ;)

  • Cannot find the BIOS for Satellite 1900-803

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba satalite s1900-303 (model number-ps192e-00g1n-en) and I'm not.
    I have somehow locked myself out of the laptop. I used to haver a password to use the laptop. This password is not only for the bios, it is also necessary for the operation of the laptop.

    Somehow the password has changed and that's why I can't use the laptop at all. I contacted toshiba store and theyu said to use a loopback serial cable to fix it somehow and he also mentioned in an attempt to crush the bios with a new.

    I would like to try this, but I can't find the Bios or drivers. I was wondering if someone can help me solve this problem please.

    PS: When regestering on the toshiba site I had to enter the serial number for the laptop.
    The model under my name says 1900-803 when the sticker on the laptop clearly said 1900-803

    Hello

    > I have somehow locked myself on the laptop. I put a password for the laptop. This password is not only for the bios, it is also necessary for the operation of the laptop.

    I think that you have set the BIOS password.
    Unfortunately, the BIOS password can be removed from the laptop if you n t know the old password.
    You can not remove also the BOS password by updating the BIOS. If you would try to update the BIOS while the password is set then the ROM module flashes not properly and you laptop will not boot! It s dangerous!

    Only Toshiba authorised service provider can remove the BIOS password. Ask the technicians!

    PS: You book is a model of Satellite 1900-803 and BIOS, drivers, tools, etc. can be found on the European driver Toshiba page in * file Archive!

  • Cannot Flash the BIOS on Satellite L500 due to low battery

    Hey all,.

    Obtained as Satellite L500 (PSLS0A-084002) here. I have the battery not charging issue and everything what I find point to an update of the BIOS.

    Of course, there is a new BIOS for download from the drivers of laptops. So I have the file WinPhlash "sl500 (mv) _bios_w210.exe. However, by running the fact falling before flashing the BIOS with an error number: 144.

    It is because of the battery is bellow 10% charge however I can't it above 10 percent fee that the laptop does not recognize it.

    There must be a way of to WinPhlash running without check. I read that you can run it with the "/ forceit" switch and who will be ignoring the error, but that was for some time and it seems WinPhlash have changed this as she always spits the error.

    I read running back help but after creating a boot cd back, he claims the exe cannot be run from BACK (ffffuuuuuuuu!).

    Any help appreciated. Thank you =).

    Maybe it sounds silly now but there at - it something serious, why you want to update the BIOS on your machine? I mean if everything is OK, why do you need new BIOS?

    In any case, I'm don't know if this will help but please try to remove the battery and check if the update of the BIOS starts if your laptop works on AC only.
