• Equium A60 does not start after the BIOS update

  I have an Equium A60. After being caught with some very nasty malware and Trojan horse, I had the disiccion to reformat the machine and reinstall the OS.

  Everything goes well until I updated the bios. Machine crashed and now I can't restart. Press the power button and the machine will start for 3-4 seconds and then stops.

  I know it of because of the bios and want to know if there is anything that I can reset this back to the original settings?

  Thanks in advance for your help

  Hello

  Unfortunately, you can not solve a BIOS is broken down by yourself. At the machine really / judgment of accident during the update process? If Yes, then your machine has disappeared and the only chance to bring back to life is to ask an authorized service partner to help you.
  Maybe they have a software to solve these problems. You should try and contact the nearest ASP in your country:

• Equium L40: After bad Bios update cannot use the WLan

  Hi there hope someone can help.

  I've updated the Bios as tempo toshiba said, but I have not read the last piece. Who was that it is not for mine which is the model L40.

  I have now tried to put the right pair, but he says he can't. As I'm putting that has an earlier date.

  My main problem now is that my wireless stopped working, it says its there and so to work, I put the switch on, but he can't find any networks he used to find approximately 4 in my area

  Do I have to restore my entire system :(?

  I'm really confused about your message because the European Toshiba page provides drivers and BIOS for one Equium L40 series m.
  I found 2 different versions of the BIOS for Equium L40; a BIOS for XP and a BIOS for Vista.

  In my opinion it of almost not possible to update the BIOS with the wrong version

  However, it you have updated and used the wrong BIOS, then you must contact the ASP to help

  But first, I recommend a check of the WLan configuration

• Equium A60-692: update Bios to allow more memory

  Hello.

  I just received the laptop above, and it is slower than the evolution!

  Just checked the specs here - http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.c...8&DISC_MODEL=1 and it says it is not expandable up to 1280 mb

  Someone told me that an update of the bios might allow for more memory, is it possible on this model and how would I go about this?

  Thanks in advance

  > Someone told me that an update of the bios might allow for more memory, is it possible on this model and how would I go about this?

  Someone is wrong, there is hardware limitation and the Bios Update will not allow you to expand the memory

  See you soon

• Equium A60-181 (PSA67E) - cannot find the display driver

  Due to problems with some games I did experiments with other ATI drivers for my laptop.
  It turns out that their support for Open GL is scandalously broken so I tried rolling back the drivers.
  Unfortunately Windows doesn't let me do it because I need the original driver files so tried to download on the Toshiba support page.
  Well although it seems that the Equium A60 - 181 aka PSA67E does not appear as a product more also any attempt to seek A60-181 or PSA67E displays empty hits Unlike Google or Msn.

  What happens here? Please tell me Toshiba did not hold for this laptop isn't exactly new or old it is still worthy of driver / BIOS update support especially when needed.

  Akuma is right. All the notebooks are listed in the archives.

• Satellite problem BIOS L750 - cannot change the boot sequence

  Hello reader/answering my questions.
  I am having trouble with my 750 ODN bios. This bios is an official update (3.6) from the center of support, and almost everything has been fine since (the plot thickens!). I decided one day I want to dual boot with linux, in particular Fedora (this is unrelated to this though).

  But, when I burned the disc and tried to direct (too test) boot the boot order has been on hard drive, first of all, I found! I rebooted and pressed f12 - did not work.
  I tried to delete and escape - neither worked. Then, I tried all the f keys - none of them worked.
  Whenever he took me to the Windows Start menu, and I explored it and I could not find anything.

  It is also important to mention that I'm under Win 7 SP1.
  I tried both PLoP and osloader (too boot from the dvd) - neither worked.
  I also do not remember what the button to start the bios was originally - Oops!

  Also toshiba with instructions logo never appears.
  I would really just change the order of boot however, the rest of the bios I don't need access too much right now.

  A separate issue is that Windows randomly decides he wants to check my hard drive, which takes forever, and he won't until he arrives to check it out. I think it may need medical help.

  But, no help, a qualified doctor or not, would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  > I also don't remember what the button to start the bios was originally - Oops!

  Pressing F2 by turning on the device could help you access the BIOS.
  But you do not need to change the boot order in the BIOS. You can do it by pressing F12. This should be done immediately after you have turned on the laptop.
  Then the start menu appears and you can choose the right boot device.

  Does it function?

• Aspire ME600 BIOS update has made the system useless

  In January 2013, I bought what I thought, it was a solid through Amazon, an Acer AME600-UR378 product. Has a fast processor and lots of RAM. As a tech geek I was sure that I made a good purchase. It wasn't super smooth, but I have advanced and added an SSD as my Starter/primary OS drive. Everything was peachy... until now.

  This week, I tried to put in place the support dual monitor. When the new connection of video card was not recognized, I decided to be smart and ask help from Acer chat service before mucking around too deep into the system myself. They chatted amiably far and suggest I should update my BIOS from the system and even gave me a direct download link to the file.

  The zip came with a simple pdf page and so I gave it a go. Five easy steps, flash, reboot and my machine has now been rendered useless. I now get the blue screen of death, with errors such as "start your PC configuration data is missing or contains errors." To try a refresh/reset, I get an error saying that the drive is locked. On trying to use the recovery disc I made when I got the system, it is said that this is not a recognizable disk.

  I got a few things to try friends of IT operations, but none have worked. SanDisk support suggested, I update the firmare on the SSD, but it does not solve the problem.

  Despite all is based on the file and the recommendation of the Acer support, I am now told by 4 different representatives (so far) that my system is under warranty and they would be happy to help once I gave them more money. I am angry and disgusted by the present, in addition to being frustrated that I can't find a solution to this day. Hours and hours of googling and research have given ideas, but none that worked.

  So, I throw myself at the mercy of this forum, in the hope that someone who has some kind of idea on how I can bring my pc back to life.

  Thank you, in advance!

  EEK.

  I turn and watch the bios options.  The tab at the end should be called something like 'Boot' opposite of what it is now, I would like to put the startup mode option: legacy / UEFI.

  I would also check the bios options for all which allow change of disc HARD Sata IDE to AHCI mode/Mode, ideally, you should be set to AHCI.  But keep in mind you can have a Raid option, too.

  One of these "could" solve your problem.

  What blue screens you get exactly? What version of bios go you to? What are the first 10 digits of your serial number of computers?

• EQUIUM U400 BIOS update link broken

  Hello

  I am trying to download the update of the Bios for my Equium U400 (dated 4 November), but the link seems broken. I have hunted high and low for a way to contact Toshiba about this but couldn't find anything useful.

  Does anyone have any ideas as to where I may be able to find an appropriate bios update?

  See you soon.

  Hello

  I think that this could be a temporal server problem and I think that this should be fixed in next time
  You should try to download this BIOS later

• Equium A60-152: how to change the IRQ?

  Hello!

  I have an interface audio firewire (Edirol FA-101), who is having a few problems and I think it's to with an IRQ conflict on my laptop Equium A60-152.
  When I looked in the Device Manager, I noticed that my firewire host shares IRQ 19 with several other devices (USB, Cardbus etc.).
  Is it possible that I can move my firewire host so that it runs on a separate IRQ of these other devices?

  I noticed that several numbers are not in use (18, 20, 9-11, 4-7), maybe one of them would be appropriate? Whenever I try to change the IRQ of a device in Device Manager, it is marked as "automatic settings" and I can't change that.

  Thanks for any help you can give me!

  Phil

  Hello

  Usually it s not is not necessary and not advisable to change the IRQS manually.
  The operating system controls all the settings and I guess that all the parameters of this are ok.
  Write you about some problems, but you don t say what s wrong.

  However, it is a 3rd party material and in my opinion, you will have more chance to solve the problem if you contact the manufacture of equipment support.

  Good luck.

• OptiPlex 160 BIOS updates not (because the fan is missing?)

  Hello

  I just had a 160 of Optiplex opportunity (model DC01T) with BIOS A06 and have tried everything so he could update BIOS A10, A09, A08 or A07.

  I downloaded the BIOS in DOS/Windows unified and put it on a key USB of FreeDOS.  When I run the package, it runs through everything and then restarts, but never actually updates the BIOS.  I tried to install Linux on a USB Flash drive, install the Dell OMSA tools and use dellBiosUpdate pointing to the A09. HDR file.

  For some reason any that also fails because the module dell_rbu does not ' / sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu / ' as it should.  No amount of copy 'init' to ' / sys/devices/platform/dell_rbu/image_type "also helps to correct this problem.

  The only thing I can think is that when the system restarts it goes to a "Fan Alert!" message because this unit didn't come with the fan & HD support.  I have one on its way, but if this warning/error is clearing the BIOS update flag then everything should work once the fan comes and I get that connected.

  If this is not the case is there anything else I should try?

  I finally got figured out if anyone is interested.  The fan error could be the cause of the normal update to fail, but by using a bunch of switches, you can force the update to install, and then restart.

  Hello PedroMarthon.

  Are you currently overclocking the graphics card?

  In order to solve this problem, I think you should uninstall third-party drivers and use the official drivers for Windows 7 and the workaround posted by my peers.  The reason I suggest, is that the use of third-party drivers could cause strange problems and it will be easier to solve the problem.

  What I would say is remove the third-party drivers and then using the method posted in my response above.  Once the process is complete, I would try and then update the BIOS again.  If successful, you can remove Windows 7 drivers and again use your third-party drivers.  However, I'm not against the use of third-party drivers.

  I appreciated the way in which you have been given to work with me, so I went to come your messages of congratulations.  If you think that I was helpful please click the White Star under my name to give my messages of congratulations.  I would really appreciate it!

  I will keep an eye out for your next answer.  I wish you a nice day!

  Hi Notino,

  It sounds as if your CMOS chip has a problem, maybe the CMOS battery has failed and the BIOS settings are lost.

  I suggest that you only contact your ASP closest to get your phone checked.

• Equium A60: A new version of the display driver is not available?

  I have the satellite a60, the drivers available on the official download page for Toshiba are since 2004.

  Seriously, who can not be the latest version available.

  I think that this may be the cause of a certain display problems that I'm facing with this machine.

  Hello

  Many different series laptop is delivered with the same graphic card.
  It of possible that the latest graphic driver have been placed in the different laptop computer category. I recommend checking out the different series of the same graphics card which is used in your Equium and maybe you will find the most recent version of the driver.
