• Satellite A65 - Crash during the upgrade of the BIOS. Not now boot.

  I have a satellite A65 s-1064, and I was upgrading the BIOS from windows. Suddenly, the computer turns off, and I thought that it meant that the update was made. I pressed the power button, and booted the laptop, but remained at a black screen. I thought maybe the BIOS was always something, so I left for a while. After an hour, I returned to find even on the black screen.

  I pressed the power button to restart, but nothing happened. I finally had to pull on the power cord and the battery. Once I did, I plugged it back in and put the battery in, but nothing happened. No battery charging lights. No power lights at all. Nothing happens when I press the power button. My question is, could do a BIOS upgrade failure, and could I somehow reflash the BIOS without power?

  Hi Brandon,.

  It is very unusual for an upgrade of the Windows BIOS cause this kind of problem. Normally, the power subsystem is quite independent of the BIOS.

  Is there a reset button that you can use to reset the system your A65? (Sorry, but I'm not familiar with the A65). If so try to press it to see if this will allow you to restore the power of your laptop.

  If you get no power at all (try removing the battery and then connect to the AC adapter), then it is possible that the power supply or the motherboard did not in this case, you will need to contact an approved Service Agent for the laptop repaired.

  As for your question about flashing the BIOS without power, I'm afraid that this is not possible. You will certainly seized the restoreds power to your laptop you can proceed with your upgrade of BIOS.

• How can I access the BIOS on a Pavilion p6710f when the usb keyboard is not recognized during boot?

  There is no connection to access the bios with a standard PS/2 keyboard and the USB driver does not load in time to access the bios with a combination of keys on the keyboard. I need to check the version of the BIOS and check the settings of hardware for my readers who are accessible via the BIOS. If I can't enter the appropriate key, how to enter the BIOS? Seems to be a common problem, since I see issues with some answers all over the internet. I even looked for a possible 'hidden' ps/2 connection in the case, but not joy.

  Have you tried another kbd? I recently saw a poster that is having this problem, & an another usb kbd did the trick for him. FWIW, I have a usb keyboard and mouse, and mine is trying to get into the BIOS.

  Hello 2whlgeezer, I have this exactly the same model system and have no problem see the screen Logo of HP where it displays options to access the BIOS and other boot options. I can press the F-10 and enter the BIOS.

  Can advise you if you see something on the screen at all?

  You can try by pressing e key F-10 immediately when the system boots, even if you can't see anything on the screen and see if it will enter the BIOS and display a picture on the screen.

  Have you checked if the CD/DVD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS?

  Maybe your drive is noisy and you should try another. I put t disc you used but try with Toshiba and Microsoft Windows disk recovery disk.

  As far as I know, Toshiba offers a few changes of BIOS options and is not also a part of the BIOS updates.

  What kind of problems you have with dual boot?
  What is preinstalled on your computer? Post please some info on exact OS install.

• No option to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM in the BIOS

  Hi all

  I was pleased to receive my computer H8-1485EA this week!

  I entered the BIOS setup by (by pressing F10) to allow booting from a device of type CD. I changed the boot order so that my DVD SATA drive was the head of the list. When I tried to boot from a CD, I got a starting message startup security protection has been activated and prevented me to boot from the CD. I entered the BIOS again and disabled security start-up (by entering a code) and booted from the CD. Unfortunately the I was booting from a disk to answer stopped, so I ejected it.

  Some time later, I decided to reactivate security startup in the BIOS. I did it successfully, however, my SATA DVD drive has disappeared from my list of boot device. It is still detected by the BIOS and will appear in the Windows Device Manager. It is also absent from the startup list when I press F9 to start.

  All the tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  This may not apply to your case, but here goes: I about went crazy looking for the (HP Envy Phoenix) option in the UEFI BIOS to boot from my Blueray disc. I tried to put the Blueray disc to start first in the boot order, but I couldn't find that he listed in the BIOS. (My computer is 2 days old, straight from the factory. Reads Blueray disc under the operating system very well). Turns out I had to insert a floppy in the Blueray to energize, then restart the computer, then go into the BIOS and - magically - BIOS now showed my Blueray and I was able to boot from it.  (In the past I have configured all my computer equipment statically in the BIOS and it al showed there and he was.) I had never seen one * new * material option appears in the BIOS that did not previously exist. That is until I met the Phoenix BIOS)

• Someone at - he heard of this? Text of boot and BIOS is distorted. Random characters in the BIOS and the splash screen are off by 2 in alphabetical order.

  After a recent accident, my screen is distorted during boot and in the BIOS. Random Charactersa are replaced by a different letter, that is, the periods are replaced with commas, 'Windows' may appear as 'Walker', 'restarted' as 'Reqtarted' and 'Network' as 'Letuoriini '.

  It seems that the characters are disabled by two in alphabetical order, appearing as A, D, appearing as a B C.
  At first, I thought that it was a mistake to video card, so I updated the driver. I ran three separate programs of the antivirus (AVG, MBAM and Hitman Pro). Nothing came.
  Any advice? I can't post specifications of material right now, as I write via the phone, but will provide later tonight.

  After much trial and error, it turned out that my graphics card was at fault.

  The original accident occurred during the loading of Arkham City, which has always been a little bit of lag on my system. As he had been executed more slowly than normal, I installed a driver updated for it. No improvement, except when it is trying to run anything that has used its installed engines, (PhysX, DirectX, or any more complex than the Minesweeper game) or the card system would be plant or generate error messages.
  So I ran several antivirus programs, nothing unusual came. Biting the bullet, I formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows XP.  The computer works, but need several resettlement programs. During the restoration, the distorted letters are returned to the starting, development not being able to get in Mode safe without extreme distortion after the start.
  Until the moment where it loaded with a mobile slider on noise static/white/random color.
  I had almost given up hope until it appeared. Since the PC started normally, it wouldn't BIOS or any other material.
  My secondary fan came unplugged, and the fan on the graphics card had stopped working. After switching to the card mother VGA, distortion had disappeared.
  Final diagnosis: overheated graphics card.

• Changes settings of the BIOS - black screen boot. [TravelMate P453-M]

  Laptop still under warranty.

  I recently had a motherboard and replace the HARD drive.

  I wanted to install Windows Me, but the BIOS has been defined in the UEFI, and I couldn't start on a USB key.

  So I turned on the heritage, booted from the USB and installed Windows very well.

  For some stupid reason, I went back to try to change the setting in the UEFI.

  Now the laptop turns on, but won't start. I get a black screen, no logo or any what guest to access the BIOS.

  I read a little and seems that I have to remove the BIOS battery, let the memory itself to reset the default BIOS settings and try again clear?

  If it's important, I re-installed Windows 7 64 bit.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Ah, I've solved the problem! Created a boot UEFI active USB key with a GPT partition, using the software of Rufus. And it started from it very well.

  Thank you, my Lord and Savior Google.

• Computer freezes during the update of the BIOS

  I have a hp pavilion dv5-1170ei and he had problems with the audio and the quick launch buttons after the upgrade to Windows 7. I decided to update the bios, because it was the only thing that I had not updated. Now, the computer is frozen with the update of the BIOS still running. I had the same problem with a dv5-1199ei and it worked fine after upgrading the BIOS. Either way, I upgraded from Vista Home premium to Win 7 Ultimate.

  I don't know what to do.

  Help!

  I had the same problem of problem freezing the computer during BIOS update. I have a HP Pavilion DV5 laptop 1126ee. When I update the bios, I don't notice her latest version of the bios installed on my system. I tried several ways of the various positions in the HP support forum. But I couldn't boot my system. Finally I could start my system. find the steps I did: -.

  I first create a crisis recovery HP 2 GB USB key

  downloaded Bios F.16A file on the HP (for HP DV5 1126ee) support site

  Then copied 3602F16. FD AND 3603F16. FD TO USB

  and renamed its copy to 3602.BIN, 3603.BIN, 3602.WPH, 3603.WPH, 3602F16. BIN, 3603F16. BIN. All files in the same USB BIOS.

  Then I unplugged the power and removed the battery.

  Insert USB drive into the system, Hold Windows + B button, plugged in the power and turned on the laptop. When the USB key is charge flashing I took out the key combination. Then I heard a unique single beep (before checking time is 2 + 1 beep and continuous beep). After the shutdown of the system 2-3 minutes automatically. Then I removed the USB and turn on the system. Now my system works perfectly.

  With our thanks,

• After that my PC froze, then restarting one second BIOS has been activated, now I get the Message: this copy of Windows is not genuine.

  Hello

  My PC froze because of the power failure. A to stop by pressing the power button for 8 seconds.

  After I turn on the PC, I got a message that the BIOS has been altered.   Since I have a motherboard Gigabyte with dual BIOS, he turned off the second BIOS.

  After the PC is returned to the Windows desktop, the background changed to black with the text in the right corner:

  "Windows 7"

  'Build 7601'

  "This copy of Windows is not genuine."

  I know this is true because I buy a commercial version of Windows 7 Ultimate edition of Microsoft. I guess that Windows detects the second BIOS as a different system.

  I restarted the computer, then Windows activated by itself. Under the Control Panel, he showed that he was authentic.

  For two weeks and the "activate Windows now" are back. "Requires a change in hardware or driver will allow you to activate Windows again." "Click on the message to start activation."

  The context has changed to black with the text in the right corner:

  "Windows 7"

  'Build 7601'

  "This copy of Windows is not genuine."

  I try to type the key to packing, that it does not work.

  Any ideas?

  Use the phone activation, do not meet all the guests until the opportunity to talk to a real person, it is preferable during the normal working day

• Drive 1 not found, cannot enter the bios or boot menu.

  I hope you guys can help me with a problem. I have a workstation t5400. A few days ago it stopped booting. I get a disk 0 not found: Serial ATA, Sata 0. On the bios boot screen, I can hit f2 and it says its set of entry towards the top but just goes back to the drive not found error. I tried to change the cables, tried plugging the drive into another port (which I do not know is actually activated because I can't get on the bios). I know for a fact that the drive works. I replaced the motherboard battery. I wouldn't be able to get into the bios without any installed readers?

  Any help would be a life saver. Thank you

  Morgan.

  Thank you. I unplugged all readers but that did not work at first. It took me ten minutes to realize I should probably remove the battery for a second. I finally had no error! messages and means able to enter setup. All disks have been disabled. That makes sense to me because 0 is enabled by default and it wouldn't give me a not found error if the port has not been activated and that I should still be able to access at least bott settings.

  Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for the help. I still want to know why he messed up.

• Elite 8000 LTS: can ' t get into the BIOS to change the boot order

  I want to change the boot order to allow booting from the ISO disks.

  Keyboard F10 doesn't bring up the BIOS screen, and the machine starts just in Win7.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  What works is by exchanging the mouse and keyboard usb for mouse and existing keyboars.

  Looks like that the installation of Win 7 bothered recognition of USB designs.

• Portege A100 PPA10A - update the BIOS to boot from a USB device

  Hello

  I have an old Portege A100, model: PPA10A-0002LP, but I can't seem to find this model on any Web site of Toshiba, closest I've seen is the "PPA10A - 0002 L'.

  I am wanting to know if there is a BIOS update that will allow me to boot from a USB device.

  The question I have is that I need to reinstall Windows, but the CD ROm cannot read disks.
  This network PXE boot, but I'm new to this sort of thing and have absolutely no idea what to do here.

  Any help would be great,

  Thank you

  Hello

  Portege A100 seems to be developed solely for the Australian market.
  As you say it is a model number Portege A100 PPA10A - 0002L listed on the Australian page of Toshiba Portege A100 PPA10A-0002LP belongs to the same series which is PPA10A
  So in my opinion, the BIOS should work too.

  Anyway, I doubt that the BIOS update will add boot options.

  Usually the BIOS supports booting from CD/DVD drive, drive HARD, LAN and USB FDD.
  It should be possible to boot from a boot disk using a USB FDD drive.
  I doubt you'd be able to boot from USB WEIRD since this Portege A100 supports an internal CD/DVD drive.
