Damaged BIOS 1 - Satellite Pro 6000 block

Hi all

I bought a laptop, a Satellite Pro 6000, but after a few weeks, he refused to start and gave me the bios message 1 damaged block.

I downloaded the update to bios on the toshiba site, but it does not work.
I have an external floppydisc. When I put the .exe to upgrade the bios on a floppy disk and turn on the laptop with the ~ button, I get the message "ready for the update of the bios, place the update disk and press any key when ready."
I can hear the disk is searched, but nothing happened.

How do I update the bios or is there something else wrong?
Any help would be appreciated!

In my opinion with the BIOS update you can't do anything wrong.
If you BIOS, update by following the procedure described in the document FAQ Toshiba and the BIOS update can not be done properly, I'm afraid there is a problem with the BIOS chip and it may be defective.

I can't say for sure, but if the BIOS chip is damaged, then you have a big problem.

  • Can't get into Bios on Satellite Pro 6000

    Hello from Norway. I have a SP6000 and I have a corrupt windowsinst. I tried to access the settins of the Bios by pressing ESC, then press F1, but it activates again right to the home screen Toshiba and said press f12 to select boot order...

    Is it possible to get the bios settings? Hmmmmmmmmmm :-) Thanks in advance

    Hello

    I guess you want to boot from the drive.
    Therefore, you can press the C key immediately after starting the laptop.
    Press the C key several times to be sure that the option has been activated 100%.

  • Satellite Pro 6000 - how can I update the BIOS?

    Hi all

    I have the problem that my laptop does not start 9 of 10 times with the message: * block 1 BIOS is damaged, call your service man.

    I want to update BIOS but for the Satellite Pro 6000 I can only find an update the BIOS from Windows. But my laptop does not start! Rarely the machine starts, but when I try to update the BIOS, I get the message that I already have the latest version of the BIOS

    My questions:
    * Is there a BIOS update file that is a BIOS floppy? (for example the Satellite Pro 6100 has 2 BIOS files, 1 Windows and 1 making a floppy disk)
    * Is it possible to update the BIOS with the same version of Windows?

    Or perhaps there is another solution for this problem? Has no need to update my BIOS?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I agree with Luke.
    The rom Bios module seems to be damage.
    Either it must be replaced or flashed again.

    But you won't be able to do that! The update of the Bios on the Toshiba page focuses on winning and you will not be able to update if the windows are not running.

    You last chance is an ASP that could check the BIOS ROM.
    As I said, most high, maybe new reflash module Rom help but cela can be answered simply by an ASP technician who checked this.

  • Satellite Pro 6000: display or graphics card problem

    Hello
    I don't have a model satellite pro 6000. PS600E-01NYE-FR
    1 GHz P3, 20 GB HDD, wireless bluetooth not running XP

    I understand that it is an old laptop but had been treated with great care because I got it.
    My problem is the following;

    Startup of the laptop is a route very well, but for some reason together and after no set amount of time the display fails
    a wot is visible on-screen is hundreds of tiny colored blocks, sometimes random horizontal lines
    but nothing is readable, at all.

    I tried to run a yellow one also using the video output external monitor, all appear the same.
    a computer display (although I can't check it out) to freeze.

    I replaced the heatsink fan as a precaution (using the new dough)
    the only solution I can find is replaced the ram with
    2 x 256 MB Sync 133 mHz module Samsung. This could be the problem or can anyone shed some light on this for me.

    Thanks in advance
    Display Toshiba SP6000 (?) Problem

    I am not a technician, but I assume that there is probably a problem with the video card. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You should contact the service and make them run tests to verify the functionality of the video card. If the card is faulty, just replacement will help.

  • Updated by Satellite Pro 6000 with a DVD burner - technical question

    Hi all, I just bought a DVD burner that is adapted to the Bay of selection to replace the old DVD player...
    He came 'naked', so I thought I'd just disassemble the frame of the old drive and put it on the new...

    But: not the slightest Phillips screwdriver will integrate these screws; in fact, they look very special and I do not know how to remove...
    Should I have any instrument/tool special and if so, where do I get it? Maybe I'm too blonde...

    Someone here who can help?

    Thanks in advance! lionesse62

    Hello

    You need a special screwdriver to remove the module bay select (CD/DVD drive).
    A 2 mm screwdriver Phillips, a pilot of flat blade screw 4mm and a LHSTIX of 4mm screwdriver.

    I think you should visit a laptop computer technician if you n t have the right tool to remove these screws.

    However, if you want to remove the module bay select the Satellite Pro 6000 laptop then follow this instruction;

    (1) turn the computer
    (2) when the lock screw is in the locked position, remove the screws and fix it on the hole to keep her temporarily locking screws.
    (3) slide the lever and pull place the selectable bay module.

    After you remove the DVD rom, you need to remove the connector and the connector cover. The connector cover is fixed with screws of black 2M2x8 liaison.
    The frame is blocked with five super flat head white M2x3 screw.

    As I said, if you can not remove these screws and then ask a technician for help.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro 6000 - new RAM does not work

    Hi all

    New to this forum sorry if this was asked before, I did a search but could not find anything so here goes.

    I just bought a new RAM for my Satellite Pro 6000. When I install it nothing happens the laptop won't boot. If I put the old stick in no problem. The ram I bought is unb 512 MB PC133 CL3 and old RAM 256 MB PC133s. I think little small to read with these old eyes.

    I was told I might need an update of the BIOS but cannot find one for my laptop under 1.4 for the moment.
    Any help would be thank Lindsey

    I think that the new RAM is not compatible with the motherboard or laptop.

    The manufacturing of the new RAM you said does not for me so I would buy an another RAM, such as Kingston. Kingston makes high quality RAM and many users here buy Kingston RAM to upgrade its RAM.

    By the way: do you use the RAM or only the new? Normally, if you use two memory modules live, you must use it with the same specifications.

    The update of the BIOS, you can find the Toshiba site, but this doesn t affect the compatibility of Aries.

  • Satellite Pro 6000 display turns off sometimes

    Hello

    I hope someone can shed some light on a problem with a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 6000 that I can't seem to get to the bottom.

    The laptop has Windows XP Professional installed and works fine, except for the fact that intermittently (could be 5 minutes, maybe 90 minutes) the display screen is what I can only describe as 'blocks '.

    The o/s plant (I ran BACK and Tests of diagnosis when the problem occurred) I would say movement of waves of mouse to the screen and activity HARD drive software continues running, except the screen is unreadable with blocks of color scheme.

    Any ideas or suggestions as to what this could be, and how I could go about repairing it?

    Hello

    It's very strange question.
    Have you tried to update the graphics driver? If not then please select this option.

    Besides if the update doesn't fix this eventually it there something wrong with the hardware. In this case, it is not easy to say what could be wrong.
    In your case, I recommend you connect the external monitor if the problem occurs.
    If the color blocks will also appear on the external monitor so eventually the graphics card or motherboard is corrupt.

    But, if the problem occurs only on the internal laptop display, so I would say that there is something wrong with the display or the FL-inverter.
    In this case, you should contact the technicians to solve this problem, because guys have more experience than each common user like me and you.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro 6000 and Windows Vista

    I bought a Satellite Pro 6000 and I want to put Windows Vista on it. I did an Upgrade Advisor and I was told that this graphics card will not work. Is this true?

    Thanks, Nick

    I'm afraid that's true. Satellite Pro 6000 is old enough for laptop and it will not supported in Vista. Install Windows XP Home edition and enjoy your life.

    However. I studied a little someone suggested that the Toshiba SD-R6372 dvd recorder is compatible with Satellite Pro 6000/6100 units.

  • How can I get a hard copy of a manual for Satellite Pro 6000?

    Hello Forum users

    My brother and I bought my father (at age 81) a Satellite Pro 6000 model PS600E-20EE1-EN on E - Bay for Christmas. There is unfortunately no manual with the laptop. I'm in Australia and my father's in the United Kingdom and he asked me to help to get your hands on a paper manual.

    As I don't know anything about Toshiba laptops or point of sale UK, I was wondering if someone could help. I tried for an hour on the net but could not find a manual to download, which seems to correspond to the above specifications. I guess I could make a phone call international to support the customer in the United Kingdom, but thought I'd try here everything first. My dad would really like a paper, in order to download manual is second best option.

    All the tracks were greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
