• BIOS Inspiron 2305 does not detect the drive in ahci mode

  The hard drive in my Inspiron one 2305 crushed and I tried to install a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda drive.

  The Bios does not detect the drive. I noticed that the SATA in the BIOS mode option has been put on AHCI. I changed the ATA mode and the BIOS has detected the drive.

  However when I try to install a clean version of Windows 7 (Dell OEM disc), to halfway to the installation Setup will fail. I noticed that the reason why it will fail, is that the installation process now does not see the hard drive.

  Can someone tell me what steps to take to do the installation?

  theFlash1932 and natacuk4

  Although I was not able to swap the Sata cables as natacuk4 suggested; It looks like just unplug and reinstallation of cables Sata what it did the trick!

  I was able to boot the system several times and it seems that everything works fine.

  Thank you guys for helping me solve this problem!

• Satellite 1000-Z2: driver Intel GPU does not - I should update the BIOS?

  Hello

  I just downloaded and installed the latest driver for satellite 1000 Z2 graphics card which is Intel(r) 82830M chipset Driver revision: 6.14.10.3889. However, it does not work.

  I wonder if I should update my BIOS first. Thank you

  Hello

  It s always a good idea to update the BIOS. Thus, it would be the best you try the BIOS updated and then reinstall the graphics card driver. You can also (if it isn't already) check www.intel.com and download the drivers from there, they are sometimes more up-to-date than the drivers of toshiba. :)

  Please give some comments if the installation of the graphics card took place after the BIOS update.

  See you soon

• Satellite A500-138 - lighting buttons does not work even in the BIOS

  Hello.

  I'm just curious to know if anyone else has a problem with the (play/pause excatly) multimedia keyboard backlight? Mine died today, and there is nothing I can do to make it work again.

  The key still works, but when I turn on the backlight, backlight on everyone, but the play/pause (the backlight of the other keys work, touchpad and Satellite logo too).

  I use Windows 7, but the problem persists even in the BIOS.

  I think the backlight of the button is just dead.

  I have to admit I'm really disappointed with this laptop. Config is great, design and are also involved, but I can just take the couine noise that makes C2D (RMClock, one utility, I know that to solve this problem, does not recognize the A500 motherboard) and the fan almost never works to 70%, and now that the backlight...

  If the backlight of the multimedia key stops working after 3 weeks of use, which will be in the future? It's too scary to think ;)

  I was really excited by Toshiba, but day after day I come to the conclusion, that it is the first and the last laptop that I bought at Toshiba - never had similar problems on other laptops, same nonames.

  Of course, I know that I can has sent for fix, I guarantee (and wait about a month to get a backlight fixed stupid). But why hell not the backlight stoped working, if LEDs vitality is long as hell? It can mean two things: I really don't have a chance, or Toshiba did not pay too much attention to detail during production A500s. And after 3 weeks of use, I fear that the second option is much more likely...

  Then, someone has a feeling similar to this topic? And someone has a problem with backlight?

  Hello

  He damage of s to hear that your light has stopped working, but I think that it s just a software problem.
  I have a Satellite A500 equipped with buttons of enlightenment and everything works great with Vista and XP I m very satisfied.
  Unfortunately until that yet I didn't test with Win 7.

  I doubt you want to send this laptop for ASP, as I said, there seems to be a software problem and you can find it easily
  You must set the notebook to factory settings I mean that you must use the recovery disc in order to get the same State as on the first day of purchase

  Moreover, I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and, unfortunately, I didn't see no Win 7 drivers for this series at this time
  I guess that Windows 7 drivers will be released in the near future.
  So I wonder how you came to the button illumination because this feature requires the Toshiba driver and tools as well as the drivers aren't there?  :|

• Satellite A210-199 does not start successfully after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I've got Sat A210-199.
  Yesterday I updated the BIOS, and after that problems occurred:

  While restarting my computer does not start. When I enter the BIOS after a while, it shuts down.
  I guess all this because the temperature of the CPU:

  When I do nothing it is 77 C. I don't think it's normal: (.)
  Computer is very recent, so it's probably not dust inside. And it's so hot from the start, but after the new BIOS, something bad happens.

  Why this temp is so high?
  There is no any process background or something.
  Is this normal?
  And what about this new BIOS?

  To be honest, something like this should not happen. I really don't understand why this is happening. I have updated the BIOS on friends A200 and mine P200 and everything works fine. Here on this forum we can only speculate on this issue, but what you need exactly's professional opinion.

  This probably not help but install recovery image and check with the factory settings. Make sure you also on the lower side cooling fan is not blocked and the laptop can be cooled properly. If the problem persists, you should contact the nearest authorized maintainer and clarify this issue.

  Sorry, but I don't really know what you can do in this situation. I don't see any other way to solve this problem.

  Good luck!

• battery not detected after flashing the BIOS

  first time here, need help! I have HP dv4 1030ee with Vista Home Premium. 2 days ago I noticed that my battery is always on 3% of AC power is connected and supported. I'm looking for how to fix the situation and found that there is a new update of the BIOS available on the HP website on this issue. So, I downloaded the program and flashed my BIOS. Flashing went well, but when I rebooted, the OS can't detect my Batttery! So far, my computer works on the current! My Bios version was F.06 and I have updated with the latest F.24. Somewhere, something was not... need help... my HP laptop is only 2 MONTHS OLD!

  HP PAVILION dv4 1030ee, Vista Home Premium SP2, Intel Centrino 2 P7350, 2.0 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9200 M GS 256 MB

  Try removing the battery and starting only with power cord. Next stop then reinsert the battery.

• Black screen, high regular of underscore on the left does not start after reflashing the BIOS F.38 on HP2000-363NR

  HP2000 363NR, recently tried flashing the BIOS F.38 (here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-116227-1&cc=us&dlc=&lc=en&o... ) to solve a problem of overheating.

  Well, it was a mistake.

  Now it does not start at all.

  Fans spinning upwards. Hard disk rotates.

  By pressing ESC, F1, F2, F9, F10 and F11 at startup to give appropriate (fast!) messages but then go to the same place:

  Black screen with flashing underscore in the top left. Leave it to this screen has no effect.

  Never see no text except the quick messages in the lower left (or "Press the ESC key for the system menu" down left based on nothing).

  Out and the relocation of memory does not work. Boot with a DIMM module does not work. Now hold power for one minute while the battery and plug on does not work.

  Battery is fully charged.

  OS is Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, came with the laptop.

  Is it possible to return this BIOS?

  -Me

  Thanks to Xraytim in the post below, short-circuit the battery CMOS me returned to the previous BIOS. Need to remove card system as a whole to achieve this * beep * connector, but 34 screws later (34 = some # between 15 and 50), BIOS is back, problem solved.

  Thanks for the forum!

• HDMI does not display windows, but the BIOS displays

  Hello world

  so I have a little funny problem.  We have a LAN party at my place where I created my office with the TV as a second monitor.  Graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD series 8600.  My main monitor is a Dell ST2420L monitor connected via HDMI.  Cable tv was a standard vga.  Setup worked very well until I took apart.  For some reason any Windows do not forget the television once I unplugged it so I fiddled with the settings... bad idea.

  So now, Windows will happily connect to TV with VGA and HDMI and run very well (it also automatically changes whether the primary monitor for a reason if the two are connected), but my normal monitor will show all things BIOS until windows starts with HDMI and works very well with a VGA.  I know I could just switch to vga, but I really like my HDMI and I really want to know exactly how I messed up it if someone has an idea.

  Thanks for the help.

  The resolution is probably set up as something that that does not support the monitor (if I had to guess, is that the resolution of the TV was great, but it could be anyway).  Connect it to your TV so you can see the screen, click the wallpaper and choose the resolution of the screen and turn the slider all the way down and apply it.  Then reconnect your monitor.

  Can someone please help to fix this error, this will also allow me to upgrade to Windows 10!

  Thank you.

• Satellite Pro L300-1FN does not start - hang at the BIOS splash screen

  My Satellite Pro L300-1FN refuses to start. When turned on the laptop displays the home screen toshiba/insyde H20 BIOS and the message "press F2 go to the Setup utility, F12 to go to the start menu" and flashes the light access to the hard drive, but don't try to continue loading. I left the bios at the start screen, but it doesn't do anything for long hours on a power supply or is running the battery flat while on battery.

  Is there a way to re - put the BIOS on this unit? If it's a desktop unit I would remove the CMOS battery to force a reset of the BIOS but that's impossible on a laptop. The hard drive is fine because I have it plugged into another system to remove valuable data.

  Hello

  What happens if you press F2 when starting the laptop to the top?
  You can access the BIOS?
  If so, access the BIOS and set its default value. I think you need to press F9 or F10 to get default parameters, but this will be mentioned at the bottom of the page of the BIOS.

  Check it!

• Satellite Pro L40 does not start after changing the BIOS settings

  Changed some settings in the bios last night and now when I boot I get a screen black lights flash and hard drive lights up but nothing on the screen.

  There is no password on the bios... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

  I put a windows disc now, I hear the disc spin but nothing on the screen

  (I think that I have come to the right place on the forum)

  It s a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 model psl4be.

  Thank you

  > There was no bios password... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

  You can set the default BIOS ONLY inside the BIOS access BIOS by pressing F2 or at the beginning of the initialization of the order

  But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
  Maybe it s just a simple bad luck that this problem happened exactly after change something in the BIOS.

  Try connecting an external monitor and check if you can see something on the 2nd screen.

• Tecra A2: brightness F6 Fn + F7 does not work after updating the BIOS of the screen

  Update bios to 1.40 VICTORY at end of January. Since the failure of keys F6 & F7 then to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen. Is it a coincidence or is that updating the bios the culprit! ??

  Hello

  Usually, the update of the BIOS shouldn't have a bad influence on the drivers of Toshiba and the performance of the operating system.
  There must be another reason the FN key down.

  Initially, I would say to reinstall the common modules. Please check if this will help.

• Satellite L650d-120 does not load after upgrading the BIOS 1.7

  After upgrading the Bios up to 1.70 my laptop is no charging current, but always works to the AC adapter.
  Can I do something on my own?

  Hello

  First of all, you should set the BIOS to default settings and need to save the changes.
  You must also leave the AC adapter plugged into the laptop for a longer period of time.
