Failed to update the BIOS on Satellite A500 - 1C0

I was so stupid and according to Toshiba Tempro advice that I downloaded the latest BIOS update 1.50 - WIN.
Update stucked at 56%. After hours of no response I've stopped manually.

Now the nb is dead... only for the power supply and fan works... Is there something that needs to be done?

I'm afraid you should contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer.
In the future to pay attention to all this and do not touch the well-executed system.

I have 3 years old Satellite P200 and it still works with the original version of BIOS.

  • 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.

    "Old way" is the quote that comes to mind, and there is a link to a post on the Z620 mirroring of your question:

    here

    With very old BIOS versions like what you have, you will need to step up the BIOS versions in order.  You don't need to intensify in each version, just a couple of big no.

    Keep us updated... I think you will like the new BIOS versions, and I post it is better to update the BIOS to go into BIOS, rather than inside Windows.

    For the Satellite A30 only one based on windows BIOS update is available.
    I think this will not work on Ubuntu and install Windows to make this update.

    Normally on Windows systems, you need to download the BIOS update, extract the .exe file and start it. That's all.
