Failure of 1.26 BIOS W520

I just got my new W520 today. The unit shipped with BIOS 1.25. I ran a few tests of comparative analysis and could not see the Turbo, so I decided to upgrade the bios 1.26.

I downloaded the bios utility and flashed the bios under Windows 7. Everything was good. Then I rebooted as the proposed utility.

Then my machine freezes on the splash screen:

'ThankPad '.

To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button.

This form takes about 6 to 7 minutes, and then the computer restarts and stuck in this form again. I tried to press the blue button, but it wouldn't get into the BIOS.

Can I force the machine to stop and restart? I'm afraid that would be detrimental to the BIOS flashing.

Help, please!

Problem solved...

The system finally starts after I unplug the external monitor and hard drive...

  • Does not begin with satellite A350 - accident or failure of the motherboard BIOS?

    Hello, first of all, sorry for my English :).

    I have the Toshiba Satellite A350-13 model has and very big trouble with it: when I turn it on by the power button, power light begins to shine, I can hear the voice of the fan for a second - then it stops and I noticed that HARD drive starts to work - I can hear and see by flashing the lamp next to the lamp stack CD player also works, but nothing else happens. There is nothing on the monitor. It seems that the bios is not starting. Let me explain what I do when it all started. My computer worked correctly, but there was a small mess on my HARD drive, then I got the CD recovery system, I realized after buying computer. Everything was ok, the system is working properly, so I started to install my software. I didn't not uninstall this program installed at the factory for system optimization that is (I do not remember his name now, but I mean this program that shows you update for your drivers - I remember that there are updates for the recognition of faces, videos etc..) I installed all the updates that this program presents, including the update of the BIOS. When I've done with the installation of these updates, I noticed that my keyboard does not work - with any button.

    By the time windows has ended it is updated, so I went to "Relight system" in the start menu of windows of the mouse. Then the closed system itself, I saw that windows updates itself as there are always after downloading the updates, but when all this happened at the end and computer must turn off and turn back on, I saw white screen. Computer has not restarted while I was expecting a few minutes. I turned off the computer by holding down the button market / stop and play again. Then, he didn't get up and it's like that for now. What will happen? Is - it caused by the BIOS update I did? Or - is it possible that this motherboard fell down? I think this is connected with the bios, indeed with his absence :) But when I switch on the computer, the keyboard still does not - I can see it, because the green light should appear on the CAPS LOCK button when I hit him if there is a power, even if the bios does not work. Am I wrong? Is there any possible to return BIOS configuration of fabric? I'm quite confused, because I have that for two months - it is like new. I'm excluding the dysfunction of the monitor.

    I hope any of you had a problem like this and there is a possible solution for it. My computer is always guaranteed.

    > My computer is always guaranteed.
    That of the point! Please contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and leave check your laptop.
    There is serious hardware problem, and I don't think you can do something.

  • Microsoft says they can't help me. Failure possible HDD or bios.

    I'll start from the beginning and I'll try to be brief. The first question that's happened 3 weeks ago. I first noticed that I couldn't open my antivirus (malwarebytes). Once I started studying, I found I could not download anything (including USB) or access my hard drive in any way including the files that would be on my hard drive. as no adjustment. Thinking it was a permission problem, I found that I still had the same permissions that I always be admin. The drive no longer shows an owner and the hidden admin account can't do more than my normal admin. System Restore tells me I am missing a driver and cannot be restored. all the restore points are also nonexistent. Pierce only I had was I could download many things in safe mode. not after Microsoft has used remote access on my computer 3 days in a row they informed me that they could not solve the problem and they believe that it is the HDD or bios based according to diagnostic tests they received I've ever had the results to.

    Now this brings me here. I do everything on computers and tried but failed to update the bios. I checked the hard drive for physical problems that i didn't see no also no strange noises. EPSA came no defects anywhere on PC

    OK, so it's a bunch of information, I'll post my specs below, and I'll watch the thread if anyone has questions or possible solutions to this gaggle of problems.

    Computer: Alienware Aurora R4

    OS: Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

    BIOS: A07

    hard drive: seagate barracuda 3000Go

    Processor: intel i7-3820

    not sure if you need all this or something more.

    Did you search for malware?

    Have you checked the Device Manager for any item (s) material that can be reported?

    Since it works in Mode safe, it's clearly a software problem. So now that the files are saved on your laptop, you can wipe the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows.

  • Satellite C660 - no Internet connection after updating BIOS

    I am a novice user and have a Satellite C660 under warranty that I don't use for surfing the net and Ebay so I hope I can explain my problem!

    Toshiba bulletin board said that the need to update BIOS, so I followed the instructions but since then I have no internet connection, and cannot restore the connection that I lost all help Toshiba Bulletin Board today lost and none of the programs to sort the problems work - e.g.set assistants etc. I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?

    Can someone tell me if it's a failure caused by the BIOS update or I would return laptop to John Lewis for repair? Thank you very much for reading this

    Hey Buddy,

    The default settings in the BIOS load after update? If this is not the case, go into the BIOS and load the default settings. You can enter the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows start and then press the F9 key to load defaults. Then save & exit the BIOS Setup.

    You can access the Internet now?
    You try to access the Internet with LAN or WLAN connection?

    Also check device manager if all devices are recognized correctly.

    > I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?
    You can create the Toshiba Recovery disk every time. Just launch the pre-installed Toshiba Recovery Media Creator and follow the instructions on the screen. You need just a few blank DVDs to create the discs. Disks contain a factory image of settings which can be restored each time and how many times you want to so with these disks, you are on the safe side ;)

  • HP elite 8000 usff master key bios password

    Hello all, need help

    I bought recently used HP elite 8000 usff

    Problem is the main key to the password for bios, product number is AU248AV and serial nuber is (deleted content)

    I also tried unplugging the power supply and push and hold the CMOS on the motherboard, no results.

    Help, please!

    Hi, @DimitriSerbia :

    Here are the instructions to clear the BIOS on your PC password.

    There should be a green rider of password, you need to remove to clear the P / w.

    See the general troubleshooting guide to find out how to erase the password - Annex B, BIOS 59 page.

    http://h20565.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display? sp4ts. OID = 3459241 & docid = emr_na-c01162207 & docLocale...

    Failure to erase the BIOS P/W stringent security has been enabled in BIOS which prevents erasure of the BIOS password.

    The only solution for this would be to replace the motherboard.

    The rigorous security BIOS setting was added starting with the model of dc7900 business desktop series.

  • BIOS time / date zero when power is connected.

    Hello world

    I have a N200 769 - ELG. I installed her updated the winXP SP3 and whenever I plug in or outside the laptop power plug resets the settings of date and time in the BIOS. Same operating system is installed in an old desk and nothing happens. So I'm sure that it is not bound. All the drivers are installed without problem according to a list of sequence, that I found in the forums. So I wonder if someone can provide suggestions.

    Thanks anyway...

    You can check your bios battery problem, glancing at the clock in the BIOS, it resets every time that you restart? If what then generally points to the battery being defective, the failure rate of the bios battery is low, but it certainly happens from time to time.

  • Near brand new 7212NR BIOS update failed

    My 7212NR want Dv7 no custom was delivered December 20, 2012.  The machine runs on 64-bit Windows 8.

    Within two weeks, HP Support Assistant was alert "Critical BIOS update", the release of Goya/Balen 1.2 system BIOS, SP60050, Version F.22, 6.53 MB.

    I used wizard helps initiate download and install it, at least 10 times.  Each time, the download appears to be over, and the installation came up to restart.  But restarting never ends, remains at the State of the switch with led power black screen.  No nothing thereafter, for a few minutes or hours.  Each time, I had to press the power switch, and the computer seems to cut off completely.  After a few seconds, I have to press the power switch and start the computer to the decent top normally.  But apparently the BIOS Setup has not ended, and HP Support Assistant continues the same alert.

    I've updated the other SW updates by HP Support Assistant alerts and for those who do restart after the installation, restart ends and the computer comes back to on State.

    Is the failure to update the BIOS, a problem of the last update of the BIOS of Goya/Balen himself package or a more general problem of the system?

    I checked your support page and at least the HPSA is to find the correct BIOS. In some cases, he finds the one evil _ and of course it will not be installed. When it comes to an update of the BIOS always go to the support page and do it yourself, let not the HPSA do for you.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-113555-1&CC=US&DLC=en&LC=en&os=4132&Product=5309489&sw_lang=

    Allows to check and see which version you are using now.

    Type system information in the search box and click on that _ a list will appear.

    In my case, I'm under F.15 version, if you run F.22 then the HPSA pushes a false positive.

    If you run F.13, then save the BIOS file on the desktop and run it from there, not in a temporary folder. Disconnect whatever it is the laptop and leave only the adapter plugged in with the battery in place.

    Click on the saved BIOS file and follow its instructions. Let him finish (do not touch the laptop so that it refreshes and make sure that the WiFi button is activated, but disconnect from the internet by disabling your modem)

    The laptop must close when it's done and after that the light hard drive shows no activity more let stand for at least 3 minutes before starting the system.

    After all this I hope that this will keep quiet the HPSA.

    Note that I'm not on a W8 machine now so I can't remember where the search box is W8, but if you go to the applications page and right click on that, a button will appear in the right lower corner All the Apps , I think the search box should be there.

    So I'm on a W8 machine now and I have no idea where Microsoft has put in the search box, what I found does not work.

    Go to the control panel and find Administrative Tools , click on that and information system will be in this list.

  • F10 fan runs constantly on my 2nd machine in a row!

    Hi all

    I had my second Qosmio f15 (in fact the German version, which is chart 10, but even of f).
    BOTH of them had the same problem:
    The fan starts to kick in high speed after 15 min. and stops, not even after hours and hours. It is still running. Start standby kills it for 15 minutes.

    I use NO program at all, I used the recovery DVD, all that all the 'power save mode', but the fan works and the court. The laptop is very cold, however the fan works.

    As it comes to the second machine with this problem, I think that it s a HARDWARE FAILURE or a simple Bios temperature Bug.

    Please help me! Someone with the same problem?

    I want an update of the Bios. It must be possible to write a few minutes...

    Hello
    have you looked for the latest Version of the Bios?

  • NB100 will not boot from the XP CD in the external USB CD/DVD drive

    Can anyone throw any light on what is happening on Earth on?

    Hello

    There are various reasons why this error message:
    In most cases this error because the laptop is trying to boot from a HARD drive or flash drive that is not configured correctly. Maybe the drive is not bootable or not compatible.

    It would also be possible that some sectors on the HARD disk, HARD drive failures are corrupt or BIOS is damaged. NTLDR error messages may also appear if the master boot record is damaged.

    In your case I recommend that you format the first HARD drive before booting from the hard drive CD7DVD external using Win XP CD.

    By the way: you must add SATA driver to CD Win XP using nLite.
    The SATA driver is placed on the European driver Toshiba page in the Intel Storage Manager

    The SATA driver is needed to recognize the HDD by Win XP!

  • Toshi SD-R5372 - not recog CD-R/Ws

    This message contains a very detailed description of my troubleshooting steps and is certainly a bit long. I wanted to be thorough so apologies right up front, OK? Also, I can't find a forum for North America!

    Here's an interesting situation. Have a Toshiba SD-R5372 of combo on an ABit MB with an Athlon 64 with XP Pro, all day. Works fine until about 6-8 weeks ago when he began to fail to recognize any CD R/Ws. I don't remember what I might have done or installed before noticing the failure. In the BIOS, the optical drive is correctly identified as the master on the main channel (also known as channel 1 on this screen). The HARD drive is a SATA drive and the BIOS correctly identifies residing on channel 3 (reserved for use according to ABit SATA). Insert a fresh out-of-the-box space or a prerecorded CD R/W (whether made from this player or my other on computer B), and the activity winks led about 25 - 30 times then remains solid and turns off only when I eject the disc. The drive is connected using the latest IDE connector on the cable and it is an option as master - all together upward on the primary channel (channel 1).

    In Windows, the drive is totally blocked - it will not just find the CD-R/W drive. I don't see all the files on a CD-R/W drive (even though I know they're there), cannot double-click to open. I can do a right click on the drive in Explorer and get the context menu to eject the disc. And if I try to copy some files, XP will create temporary files, throw up in the bubble 'You files to be written on the CD' but on the wizard burn a Windows CD on the second panel will say "There is no disk in the drive" and if I try to erase CD R/W (using Nero CD/DVD Speed) the drive is not ready, the drive is not for the gray of program out all the functions of the House.

    I've worked really hard to try to fix this! I'be looked around the ' Net for an answer. First thing: it's probably bad media (used originally Sony who have had no failures to date), so I bought a stack of Maxells and then later Verbatims - still no go. Strangely it reads and writes with the mention of HP and Verbatim DVD-R/Ws, more it will read and write in a variety of CD - r, two blanks, music-homebrewed and commercially prep would be none CD R/Ws so.

    I realize there are two lasers. I cleaned the laser of CD with a CD of Staples cleaning disc - no help. I'm reasonably sure that the drive was spun because it's in a different position, when I unload it. I tried a new IDE cable supplied with the MB - no help. I left the case open all day thinking it was heat - no help. The ASUS marked power must be nice - it is rated at 550 W and once again the player combo works with other media. I tried connecting as the master on the secondary IDE channel - no help.

    It is the only system with SATA IDE hard drive. The next step was to buy a brand completely new and totally different from the combo DRIVE (thank you Mr. Staples). Now get this - after new XP hardware detected and installed new drivers and everything was cool... exactly the same problem with that. Replace the Toshiba in. Uninstalled the Toshiba in Dev Mgr - restarted - no help and XP did find and locate and properly configured the drivers as expected. I completely uninstalled my suite Nero 7.0 and I also used the Nero clean tool - no help (Note: I left installed Nero CD/DVD Speed as the Nero cleaning tool does not touch). I looked for other Roxio/Adaptec and applications as a measure of protection, I also ran RoxieZap.

    I uninstalled Alcohol 120, which therefore also zaps the crud of virtual drive - no help. ASPI shows no layer ASPI flashed the firmware of Toshiba for the last series of firmware (TU56) - no help. (Notice a pattern here...?) In the service console that automatically starts the Service IMAPI - IDE channels are all in DMA mode. I have updated the chipset drivers VIA by their latest Hyperion 4-in-1 software IDE driver - no change. Here's another experiment: I rebooted and as the POST passes by I insert a CD-R/W drive and winks in the car but the activity light stays on even before Windows XP this office.

    There is something wrong at a very low level here... Is the toast by car after only one year? Remember, I already replaced with another brand and got the same symptom.

    Hope it makes sense. In any case, I would like some thoughts on that. Really miss not having this particular feature. Thanks to one and all!

    Hello

    Thanks for this detailed display but I think this is the wrong place for your problem because on this forum, most of the discussions are on laptops.

    I read your ad carefully and really have no idea of what you can do next. Your service is very impressive. If you Google a bit around you will find many topics on different forums feature discussions and troubleshooting.

    Check also this maybe http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop of the forum you can also post here.

    Is the computer is completely shut down until the power strip is turned off? If the computer is set to return to the last power state after a power cut so he could turn himself back on thinking that there is a power failure.

  • HP Elitebook 8460p: USB 3.0 ports do not work

    Number and name of the product: HP Elitebook 8460 p - WX558AV
    Operating system: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    When I opened my laptop today, my wireless mouse will not work. Then I find that all my USB 3.0 ports on the left do not work or the other. If I plug in my external hard drive, I can see clearly (which means power is there), but the drive will not be displayed in Windows Explorer.

    I also had another weird error that my computer will not shutdown. It will be auto-restarting/reset in a few seconds. Very strange.

    Is this a software or hardware failure? This laptop was bought anything recently and I expect the quality of the business.

    Thank you

    Hieu

    I solved this. It wasn't because of the driver. I reinstalled the driver from this link that you provided before the validation of this one, but it did not work. I googled high and low and found various fixes, but they do not work.

    I have even come back to an image previous when I just installed Windows 7 (and at that time where the USB ports still work). However, after restoration, the ports still refuse to recognize any USB.

    So I think that there are only 2 possibilities: hardware failure (1), or a BIOS (2) problem.

    Then I updated to the latest version of the HP BIOS (using HP Support Assistant) and then voila. Problem solved.

    I guess the updates of Windows 7 somehow comes into conflict with Bios HP, where the question.

    I hope my explanation is clear enough for someone with the same problem can fix their computers.
