Thank you

Stu!

Hello

Have you used the good BIOS?
I recommend you to check the serial number that is placed at the bottom of the unit.
The first 5 digits and characters are important.
Then compare it on the page of the Toshiba driver and use the good BIOS!

Please note that bad BIOS or bad BIOS update process can damage the laptop. I would recommend so double check the BIOS version prior to execution.

  • Problems after updating the BIOS on Satellite Pro P200

    I recently buy a Satellite Pro P200 running Windows Vista Business. Yesterday, I updated the BIOS to the version 1.50 supplied with the machine to 1.80 available on the Toshiba site. I double checked that I was using BIOS correct update for the Pro P200 Satellitel running Vista.

    After updating the BIOS, I have now two problems:

    1. whenever I start and join the office, I get an error message "record of Vista has stopped working". This problem has been identified as toshibavistaregistration.exe here: [link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99805]

    2 Control Panel > system now shows the processor and the memory (RAM) as "not available". Execution of the diagnostic PC Toshoba tool and looking at basic information show also no information on the memory (RAM) Although the processor information here. There may be pieces others missing too under the eyes of list shorter than before the update of the BIOS.

    Basically, I want to get everything working again as it should, but cannot find any information on these issues.

    After further review, it appears that the update of the BIOS is not the cause of the problems.

    Immediately after updating the BIOS, I had a major system crash. It turns out that this is what has caused problems.

    After a system restore to a point before the update of the BIOS and the major system crash, now everything is working again with BIOS version 1.8 in place.

  • Update BIOS on Satellite Pro 2100

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro 2100 (model #: PS210E-0053R-EN) and recently bought two 256 sticks of RAM for it, which according to the manufacturer, are compatible. They do not work, and I have I'll return them, but before the company was asked to take certain measures, i.e. to retest them and also update the Bios. I have never updated a BIOS before and am a little worried about something bad, or choose the wrong update.

    No one knows who is right on the section of the site? I know there's a Satellite Pro 2100, but which is compatible with all the models of this laptop?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Satellite Pro 2100 comes with two different processors (cel or PIV) but the model number is the same (PS210E). This means that you can use the update of the BIOS for both models.

    I recommend you do traditional BIOS update using the floppy drive. As described on the page of the Toshiba BIOS update, it is very important that you refer to the Description of the Toshiba BIOS update before you continue.

  • Updated BIOS for Satellite Pro U200?

    Hello

    does anyone have any experience with BIOS version 1.3 for Satellite Pro U200? I've upgraded to this version of the BIOS and have had several problems since then - shortened wireless keyboard does not and display the overflowing of installation brightness to name two.

    In addition, as I noticed last week, upgrading the BIOS can not be downloaded more and there is no alternative - just says download page don't: "no BIOS upgrade for this product! Is there anyone that has 1.2 BIOS so that I can try to downgrade to this version?

    What is your experience with BIOS 1.3?

    Hello

    It s really strange?  :|
    I checked the BIOS for Satellite U200 and Satellite Pro U200 download section, but I put t found any BIOS download at this time.

    A few years ago the authorized service provider has installed an older version of the BIOS on my Tecra friends unit.
    I guess that he should be able to do it on your Satellite Pro U200.
    The other possibility is to wait for a newer version of the BIOS.

  • Problems after update BIOS on Satellite Pro 4600

    There is a problem with the computer toshiba laptop. its the fact do not install any windows OS after the Installer starts running xp there is an error message that says that the drivers of setupdd.sys could not be loaded (error code 14)

    I tried with different CDs with the same error, so I tried the procedure of the ghost image, but all in vain after reboot it is with an error that requires a kernel dll could not be found that I even used a cool ghost image but the same error.

    In fact, I upgraded the bios to a worm recent 2.60 it was beautiful, he started twice and has been used for several hours. the update was suuccesful up and running. It all started when we placed a kingston flash drive in the USB after it was working very well we copied a simple document on drive d, nothing else, it worked for half an hour. After I stopped, and then it was late at night when I started the system fine.i was listening to a song after that, he displayed the error messge system32 driver pci.sys damaged or missed.

    Then I tried everything I knew in windows xp to boot with xp cd and... etc I also formatted the hard drive to try to win98 installation gave an error also, external error to msdos, I think it's the update of the bios that is problem because windows 2000 Professional installation gave a very specific error. BIOS not fully ACPI compatible after pressing F7 in the installer of windows xp the feature ACPI went silent and requested installation good, but during the formatting the drive but it stopped with an error that the disc hard cannot be formatted.

  • Satellite Pro P200-15W: after Bios Update 1.90 incredibly noisy fan

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200-15W, I recently made an update to BIOS version 1.9 and seems to have been a big mistake.
    After restarting the computer, I had a lot of software deconfig and the fan has become incredibly noisy.

    I have the problem with the Toshiba Vista registration software, I get this message: "registration of Vista has stopped working". I read other discussions, I don't want to just disable it in the start.ini file, I would actually solve the problem if there is a way.

    Is there a way to change the configuration of fans? I read a post from Toshiba on another model of laptop that has had the same problem of noisy fans after an update of the BIOS, they gave that a solution with a new version of the BIOS, is there a way to reverse the BIOS to the previous version? (recovery CD will be useful for this purpose)?

    See you soon

    Edgard

    Hello

    It seems that the picture of the fan was changed and renewed in the new version of BIOS, and so fans run fall.
    Why the table fan has been changed?

    Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve the reduction of the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with maximum performance.
    This helps to prevent the equipment from damage!

    Usually, the recovery CD formats the whole HARD drive (partitions too) and installs only the image of Toshiba on the notebooks of HARD drive.
    The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
    But you can try to recover the laptop to see if you can solve the problems of software as "Vista record"!

    If you want to reverse the BIOS, you will need to contact the ASP in your country!

    Sorry, but all I can suggest.

    Best regards

  • Satellite Pro P200-15W: update according to BIOS 1.9 fans walk all the time

    I have a Satellite Pro P200-15W. After recently running the BIOS update to version 1.9, the fans started running all the time and are extremely loud. Also, he did weird things for Firefox, Thunderbird and NAV.

    I would like to "Uninstall" the update of the BIOS if possible. I found [this link: http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1080 89xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 24408215 & stateId = 0% 200% 202 4406262] who treats the restore running CD.

    If I run this CD, which will certainly restore the BIOS to the previous version?

    Is there a less destructive way (ie: that does not erase the hard drive)?

    Thank you

  • Failure of the BIOS - Satellite Pro P200 - 16 c

    I installed Windows 7 64 bit on a laptop Satellite Pro P200 today. I then tried flashing the BIOS through windows with program Flash BIOS on Toshiba driver download page. I used the program flash for Vista because none is available for Windows 7. The program started and took a backup of my old version of BIOS and then Flash the BIOS. Then after a while an error occurred saying that this operating system was not supported.

    Alright. I restarted the computer and he was going to access the BIOS to see if the new version was done to install or not. But I can't access the BIOS now since the TI of suddenly password protected. I tried Google known standard Phoenix BIOS passwords, but they do not work. Now I've mistyped the password if often the computer won't let me even start without entering a correct password.

    How can I reset the BIOS? Should I open the laptop and remove the CMOS battery? Which will work?

    Help, please...

    Hello

    You used not compatible BIOS and it seems that module ROM BIOS was not flashed properly.
    Unfortunately, there is nothing to do but to contact the ASP of Toshiba in your country,
    Guys could remove the password and can reflash the BIOS using a traditional disk BIOS version and the crisis.

    > How can I reset the BIOS? Should I open the laptop and remove the CMOS battery? Which will work?
    No, remove the CMOS battery would not help because as far as I know that the CMOS battery is not removable on laptops just ASP can clear the BIOS password.

  • White screen after the Satellite Pro P200 display driver update

    I installed the latest display driver ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 (8.432, on the site of Toshiba through Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. Reboot, everything seems good as much as the screen "Please wait...". "Windows Vista professional, but instead of showing the page of connection I get an empty screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as usual). All I can do at this point is to be able to, and I'm running out of ideas on how to move forward.

    Things I've tried:
    # start in safe mode, the video resolution or last known good configuration, result the same screen empty.
    # connect to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) is not possible because the system has not yet loaded the network drivers.
    # I can't go back to a restore point because Vista can't find (I did a manual after you install updates windows over a couple of days).
    I can run a system command line options of recovery and prefer to use it to disable the driver + if + I knew how before the use of the more radical options.

    A search on the web (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
    previous versions of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at to give a solution which does not exist for me.

    I agree with Hairyfool, you who should solve problems using an external display. If no image appears, then something with the material might be.

    Please give some information about your situation...

    See you soon
