• Satellite L300-1 has 3 - after the BIOS update, I get a BSOD

  I have a Satellite L300 1A 3 MODEL PSLB8E. I decided to update the version of the BIOS, thinking that he can resolve my issue of ethernet controller.

  But after the update, my laptop goes on infinite blue screen of death. How can I recover from this injury?

  Can someone please help.

  Hello

  Did you choose the good BIOS update for your model? Was it for Satellite L300 PSLB8E?

  What code you get BSOD?

  After the BIOS update you must always load the default settings. Maybe a bad BIOS setting is causing this BSOD.

• Dead by Satellite A500-1pj after involuntary Bios Update

  Hello world

  A friend of mine bought a new PC laptop toshiba Satellite A500-1pj a month ago. Windows 7 pro 64-bit pre-installed.
  Also preinstalled: support software toshiba who - correctly - configured search automatically and installs updates and critical fixes.

  Last Sunday this wonderful software recommended an update 'critical' to my friend - she's no expert but a user experienced who can make the difference between an update of the bios (and avoid this!) and a security patch, she agreed to download and install what she believed to be a security update.

  Sure, she gave permission to an update of the bios being installed. During the process of updating the machine froze completely. She waited for three hours and then pulled the plug. Guess what: the machine is now completely gone. Does not display without fan, simply nothing.

  Hotline support Toshiba told him that his cell two weeks old is not under warranty because this warranty does not cover software 'problems and the Bios updates are software upgrades.

  The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...

  My questions:

  (1) the laptop is a Satellite A500-1pj (PSAR9E-01M00QGR) fitted to a phoenix UEFI bios (bios toshiba/phoenix, 1.1.26 update tool is pretty radical - no warning at all! he tried to update me my computer dell laptop, lucky!).
  I found some posts on older machines that can be reflashed using a usb disk, hot spare bios back and a combination of keys (Fn + B or Fn + F...). is it possible to do this with a UEFI bios too?

  (2) anyone out there have the same problem?

  (3) any chance of toshiba help us with that issue and prevent others from making the same mistake to understand at least a warning in their bios updates?

  Thanks for your help!

  > The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...
  I doubt that
  I think that the module ROM BIOS was flashed incorrectly (don't know why) and therefore you can not start the laptop.
  This can happen for different reasons, maybe that the update process was interrupted due to a process running in the background, etc.

  In order to solve this problem, the ROM module must be flashed again using a special crisis disk BIOS... that's all.

  The update of the BIOS is always a sensitive procedure but if everything was done correctly, then update the BIOS must successfully complete.

  I found this very interesting and useful to Toshiba and HowTo doc correctly updated the BIOS!

• Satellite L350 - does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I recently (yesterday) downloaded the latest version of bios update dated dated 25/02/10 2: 20 - WIN, after download and does run the software from the laptop immediately stopped working and stop. I am now no longer able to boot up the laptop at all, all I get is the power light on and the hard disk light flashes, I hear the spinning CD/DVD drive, but what is not screen anything, I don't think this is the start.

  Is there a way to fix this without taking it to a store/engineer, BIOS recovery?

  The laptop is a Satellite L350, I opened the laptop to try to reset the CMOS by removing the card mother battery (not sure if it would have helped), but as much as I know it doesn't have an or I'm not.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Andy

  Hi Andy,.

  Hmm... If the BIOS update failed, you can't do anything because only an authorized service provider has professional diagnostic and recovery tools to redo an update.

  So in my opinion, you must contact a service provider authorized in your country. Get in touch with the guy and ask for help. They will tell you what to do now.

  Here is their list:

• Satellite Pro L300 - which improved after the BIOS update

  Hello users,.

  I just finished an update of the BIOS on Satellite Pro L300 using Updater Insyde Bios. I tried the Toshiba site to see what's new or what has improved since the update my bios 1.7version v2.2. But there is no search results. I also went to the site Web Insyde, but neither have they put up what has changed or improved?

  Is there a documentation or information which could help me to know how my laptop has improved or better after the update of the BIOS and what has changed since my update of the BIOS?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I assume you mean a changelog of the BIOS. Well, normally this document is placed on the Toshiba page where you can download the BIOS update.

  If you can't find such a t changelog, there is no available changelog. All that s!

  In addition the BIOS update should be performed only if it of really necessary. This means that if everything works fine, I don't see a reason to update because this update is a bit risky.

• Satellite L300D - does not load after the BIOS update

  I had to update my bios & it seems that that wrong has been downloaded about 3% by installing the laptop just die and not to revert to.

  There is no lights & there is no noise from the laptop at all.

  Can any ideas on how I fix?

  The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L300D

  Hello

  Well, if the BIOS update crashed you can do anything because the ROM module needs to be reflashed. This is possible only with special tools and only an authorized service provider has such tools.

  Then please contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help :)

• Satellite A100 does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I downloaded the update to the bios toshiba A100 PSAA8 on the toshiba site and applied using the procedure of updating the bios from windows XP MSE. Restart after the start of the update stopped at the toshiba start screen.

  At startup the screen by pressing ESC watch text mode. The message indicated it confirms the update of the bios version. POST messages are:

  _________________________
  Genuine Intel CPU
  No TPM or TPM has problem
  1015 M system RAM passed

  Press to enter in SETUP
  _________________________

  Pressing F2 just clears the last message in line and then no change is found.

  The laptop comes with windows XP media center edition. I don't know why the TPM secure is enabled. It is possible that toshiba is available with the module of TPM enabled in bios updates that logbook. If this is the case, they must clearly identified as 'not applicable' upgrade for machines that are not relevant.

  I found similar messages around the forum without convincing answer.

  Is it possible to fix this without sending? Even if it turns out to be affordable, it make much sense to pay for the problems caused by toshiba.

  Hello

  Please don t blame someone for you mistakes ;)
  As far as I know that only a few sets of laptops come with TPM.
  If you want to do an update of the BIOS on the models at TPM, you will need to contact the ASP!

  Looks like you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure.

  The Toshiba page a BISO update the documentation that describes how to upgrade the BIOS on each series laptop!
  You will find on the page of the Toshiba driver compatible BIOS and information over a large number of details!

  > Is it possible to fix this without sending
  Don t think so, and therefore, you will need to contact the Asp help!

  Good luck

• Satellite L450D - nothing else happens after the BIOS update

  Toshiba Bulletin Board recommended 1 new message. Downloaded updated BIOS available. Frozen computer during the update and what would not be it. Now, the computer is totally dead. Power light turns on when the connected external CAP but nothing else. I did follow the instructions specific to Toshiba. Pleas advise.

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  It of strange that the BIOS update gone wrong, because I already did several times and never had a problem did you run background applications they probably blocked the update?

  Anyway, what you can try is to remove the battery and the AC adapter / CC for a few hours. Then reconnect and try to boot up your laptop.

  In the worst cases the ROM module needs to be reflashed, but an authorized service provider can help you get rid of this problem. :)

• Ports Satellite A135 - S2306 defective USB after the BIOS update.

  OK, I searched all over the internet and not found anyone else with this same problem, or anyone with a solution that worked for me.

  A few weeks ago, I had the common error of the BIOS reset itself and asking for a password at startup. I took my local Toshiba authorized repair center, and they have not taken care of him, no problem.

  Since the resume, however, all 4 of my USB ports have been going crazy. What happened in the following three steps (in order):
  -One of the ports does not work at all, won't provide any current or even recognize that nothing is connected.
  -The 3 remaining ports are now only recognized as USB 1.1 ports, not USB 2.0 as they were before.
  -Now, only a very small number of my devices is not at all, with three USB mouse and two unrecognized hard drives work (I get the error message "USB device not recognized" standard Windows when I connect them to one of the three ports).
  I am running Vista Home Basic (32 bit) with SP 2 and the new version of the BIOS is v1.60.

  Is this something people of repair caused when they have unlocked the BIOS and updated? Is this a problem with the new BIOS itself? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Let me know if I let him out any relevant information, I tried to be as complete as possible. Thank you!

  It is not easy to say. I think that would be best to ask guys why it happens or what they have done in the past.
  But have you set the default BIOS?
  Please do; access the BIOS (by pressing F2). Set it to default by pressing F9 (I guess) and save the changes. Restart the unit.
  Access the Device Manager, and then remove all hubs USB and commands from the list of devices. After that reboot the device again. Windows should recognize the devices deleted again.

• Satellite L30 does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I upgraded my BIOS Satellite L30 and now the laptop will not boot. When I turn on the fan starts and that's it. I think I have updated the book with the bad BIOS... The laptop is only 1 day old... Is it possible to reset the machine to the default BIOS.

  Hi Scott,.

  Unfortunately there is no easy way for you to go to your BIOS to its previous level. You need to entrust your laptop to a Service approved partner who has the necessary equipment to Flash the BIOS to the previous level.

• Satellite A200-23W - is it a new BIOS update?

  My bios version is v2.60 day 28/08/2008.
  I think that this must be an old man.

  As I can't find anything for A200 (toshiba takes in charge only A300 and then..) is there a new version?
  I use Win 7 64 bit and I have no serious problem right now.

  Thank you

  > I use Win 7 64 bit and I have no serious problem right now.
  So why do you need to update the BIOS?
  I would update the BIOS ONLY if my laptop wouldn't not stable or would develop some problems

  In addition the A200 is an old series of notebook and the drivers and other updates are in the region of Archive on the European driver Toshiba page
  For this list, you can choose to Archive in the first option (in the form of driver download) called product Type

• Update satellite A200 - 14F CPU T7400/T7600 and BIOS update

  Hello

  I want to upgrade my current Core Duo T2450 CPU to something faster or T7400, T7600.

  I know that PM945 will manage it but what about the BIOS? I have 1.80 which is the last for my model.

  Where can I find that some BIOS change log to see if the newer processors are supported?

  Are you sure that you want to upgrade the processor?
  An upgrade of the CPU will not bring much more performance but mobile CPU's are fairly expensive and maybe they are not supported in the BIOS or motherboard.

  Moreover, Toshiba doesn't support a CPU Exchange. You can do this, but at your own risk.

  Normally a BIOS change log you can find on the driver of Toshiba download page, but if you can find t we Web does not exist on the site.
  But I'm pretty sure that Toshiba doesn't add new taken processors supported by a new BIOS because it s not supported.

• Satellite A200 - 1 GB block during the bios update - will not turn on

  Thank you

  (Sorry for my bad English)

  Josefa Hello,

  It sounds as if you of the BIOS chip was damaged during the attempt to update failed, and unfortunately this will prevent you from starting your laptop so that you can tyr to redo the update.

  In my view, that it will be necessary to bring or send the laptop to a Toshiba authorized service agent who has the equipment necssary to re flash your BIOS chip.
