Equium L10-300 - Question about BIOS password

Hey all hope you can help a new user please.

Had a customer to put in a notebook Equium L10-300. Somehow has been a password on the BIOS and start-up, so I can't do anything with it. I can't boot from a CD and I tried a USB floppy drive, it seems to the flexible time and then just operates in the password box. I was going to try a BIOS flash, you see.

I'm guessing maybe remove battery from the bios might help? But do not know where it is or how to get to it. All links to the manuals etc. would be nice. I ve read some new Toshibas have special security chips now hold passwords etc.

Any help would be thank you very much, really need to solve this problem.

Hello Mark

If you have clients, I assume that you work for an authorized service. The fact is that each service description how to remove the BIOS password on each laptop model.
So if you try to delete the BIOS password I can't imagine work you for some Baker. So many things on your work.

Another important thing is that the BIOS removal procedure is kind of top secret information and may not be the subject of public debate. This information cannot be displayed here. This will be a valuable aid for all who attempt to enter stolen laptops. Do you agree with me?

If your customer needs professional help to send him to the authorized Toshiba service provider nearest. They know how to remove BIOS password.

    Hello

    I certainly know that the S-video port is not available on all models Equium L20. Please check the specifications of the laptop even though I think that your model should have S-video port. Please contact your local dealer and talk with them about it.

    Your device has a valid warranty and if you think that there is a technical problem, contact the Service partner and explain the problem. Please don t make some BIOS update experiences if you are not familiar with this procedure.

    Hi Dan,.

    Unfortunately there is no way 'backdoor' to access your system without the BIOS password. Most BIOS manufacturers install a 'default' password but they change it from time to time is not possible to say that one might have on your system (if any at all).

    If you search Google for the BIOS reset password options you find many techniques described to bypass the BIOS password or even reset the CMOS completely chip, but the only way to truly guarantee to solve your problem is to take the laptop to an authorized Service partner who can reset the CMOS chip and re-flashing the BIOS. They generally need to see some evidence of property before they will do so.

    Kind regards

    I am able to boot up the laptop, launch Vista and do what I want to do besides enterering the Bios.

    Advice to solve this problem?
    Tried to update the bios, did not help.
    Looked in the internet for a description where to find CMOS batt. Still no idea.

    Best regards
    Rob

    Hello

    Are you sure that you have set the BIOS password?
    If you set the BIOS password then the laptop would request the password before it would start in Windows Vista.

    I think that set you the password of the user or supervisor password!

    In Toshiba Assist-> Secure you could erase that two passwords too.
    Please check this!

  • Tecra S5 - Question about BIOS password

    Hello

    I have a problem, when I acquire the computer, put a user password in the bios, and I don't remember him. I do authentication passes the finger in the analysis. Now I want to upgrade the operating system to win7 and do a fresh installation, not an upgrade.
    Authentication via scan will be maintained or will be lost, when do the upgrade of the operating system?

    Thank you to

    Carlos

    Hi, Carlos

    When you do the clean install of the OS, everything will be deleted, so my opinion is that you should remove all passwords before you start the installation of clean operating system.
    unlock your laptop, install and configure the operating system and when the work is done to lock the laptop using passwords.

  • Equium L10-300: how to remove BIOS password which was never put

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba laptop Equium L10-300 which has just begun to ask a market BIOS password, which is strange, because you never have the value. I read in these forums and have found that the other models had the same problem.

    Now first of all, I was wondering if there is anyway to fix this without sending it away and if not then who can I send it to and the repair will be free?
    Thank you

    Hello

    I didn t notice such BIOS password on my laptop problem.
    However, if the BIOS has been set and that you can not connect, then you will need to contact the ASP in your country for the removal of the password! Without the help of ASP, you will not be able to use the laptop.

    But I can't say much about the cost. I think it could be done for free. Just call the guy and explain your situation.

  • Equium L10-300 - message "media test failure".

    Hello

    I'm asking on behalf of a friend. They recently, accidentally had a spill of liquid on the keyboard of their laptop Equium L10-300 which resulted in the message "media test failure" appearing on the screen and makes it so the laptop unusable. Apparently when the liquid was split open CD-ROM drive (coincidence?), while the player also "clicky" sounds when the case he pressed.

    Is their machine completely buggered now or maybe just the hard drive / liquid obtained in the drive? Are there recommendations for when such an incident occurs or just let it dry out and hope for the best?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Michael

    The liquid spited in Notepad is the worst thing that can happen.

    > Is their machine completely buggered now or maybe just the hard drive / liquid obtained in the drive? Are there recommendations for when such an incident occurs or just let it dry out and hope for the best?

    Why hard drive? I fear that the defective mainborad may be responsible for this message (IDE controller). Boyfriend sorry but it is just a recommendation, contact the service and let check the laptop.

  • White screen on my Equium L10-300

    Hi all

    New on this site but I was wondering if someone can help me. I have an Equium L10-300 and the screen seems to start going white corners in until it becomes white. I found that by pushing on the top of the screen is the only why return to normal.

    This means that the screen is broken and it needs to be replaced completely or is it caused by another party? Anyone who can shed some light on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    * coop thank you *.

    For me, it is definitely hardware problem. It may appear or may display cable (maybe some crack on cable or bad connection). Sorry, but I don't think there is something you can do alone. I recommend you contact the service.

    They allow to check the view feature.

  • Equium L10-300 radiator & fan Exchange

    The fan on my sisters laptop computer has stopped working, making the laptop overheating and turning off.
    The laptop is an Equium L10-300.
    Also, the warranty has expired, giving 2 options, get a professional to open it and change the fan or do it myself.

    Nobody knows the type in the assembly code radiator & fan how do I disassemble the machine, I tried to find a guide to disassembly without look much.

    Thank you.

    Hi dude

    Hmm, as far as I know, you need to set cooling module which has been designed especially for this series of satellite.
    These special Toshiba parts can be bought from the AEP from Toshiba, which is responsible for your country!

    I recommend to contact the guy and to order this part.
    In addition, you should ask for additional help on the replacement of the cooling module. Disassembly of the laptop is not easy and a little trickier. People with no experience could damage other parts during disassembly procedure. That is why it s really desirable assistance some technicians.

    Best regards and mate good luck

  • Equium L10-300 - how to replace the keyboard

    I recently got a Toshiba Equium L10-300 and it has serious issues of keyboard.

    Some buttons do different things they are asked (for example. The letter M is going to be transformed into letters NM or the right arrow will turn into a huge space).

    The enter/return key does not work all together and that's all I want to work really (want to format and start over).

    I tried to remove the keyboard, but he can't seem to drag out (is there an easy way out without breaking everything?).

    Any help or advice on this would be much appreciated.

    Hello

    The keyboard is fixed with screws.
    You need to remove these screws to remove the keyboard from the laptop.

    As far as I know there is a small plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons cover.
    You must remove this cover to gain access to the screws.

    After removing the screws you may carefully lift the keyboard.
    But note; the keyboard is connected to the motherboard with a flat cable. Be careful and don't use force.

  • Equium L10-300 - battery failure

    Hello

    Can someone tell me if the battery isn't on the laptop Equium L10-300 it will not feed with the lead/charger pluged?

    Hello

    First of al you will get a few suggestions here in the forum if you want to be 100% sure which part is defective or malfunctions, you must contact a technician for laptop and it could check the hardware.

    Now my opinion; If the laptop lights even if the AC adapter is plugged in, then it has nothing to do with s battery but with the internal parts like for example electronic power supply on the motherboard.

    If the battery is faulty, you should always be able to use the laptop connected to the power adapter. Right?

    So I think that your problem is not related to the battery I m not sure what could be wrong, but first the adapter sector and RAM check if both parties would be ok then there must be another serious problem that I suggested above maybe motherboard is affected

  • Equium L10-300: white screen when turn on - nothing happens & displayed

    Equium L10-300. Just when turn it on, nothing happens and nothing appears. Before power indicators are on but not the green power on light.

    I thought that the LCD screen was broken, but it turned itself off recently on a couple of opportunity (I guess overheating) I think maybe that's the problem.

    If its possible to have it repaired I would like to know a little more before you cast.

    What you mean with I would like a little more knowledge? If the LCD is damaged it must be replaced. If the warranty is still valid, contact service in your country as soon as possible.
