Menu of the BIOS on the laptop VAIO (SVP112A1CL)

I have a laptop SVP112A1CL and I have not been able to find a way reach the BIOS menu to activate the USB boot. I have read the various messages of the forum and tried F2, F10, F11, ESC with no luck. Any ideas?

Quick start / secure boot was part of it, but change the Windows setting is irrelevant. I finally found the Assist button almost invisible and pressing on it, when the laptop is off goes into a Sony menu which allows the configuration of the BIOS. I could turn on the external device to start, change the boot order and disable secure boot and back to the legacy startup and I was able to accomplish what I was after.

    Hi Ted,

    You are welcome

    Boot into the bios menu and go to the very section where you have disabled the Secure Boot.

    Find an entry called materials and this value to Activate.

    Save the changes and exit the bios.

    Follow the previous procedure below:

    Insert the bootable disc of Ophcrack and laptop stop.

    Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Select boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L40 - killed the laptop BIOS update

    Recently I thought it would be better to download the latest drivers and upgrades for my Satellite pro L40 to keep up-to-date and partners the laptop that works smoothly. I couldn't have worse summer. Before I updated the new driver updates I thought it would be a good idea first update the Bios. So I downloaded the update of the Bios on the Toshiba site, unzipped the files and followed the online instructions for updating the BIOS. I double clicked on the BIOS file to run the update, the laptop says it was end the session, I waited and the Toshiba logo screen came. In the instructions, it says that I have to press F2 now and confirm that the date and time are correct. I should then press F9 to load all the default values and then press F10 to save and exit. At this point, the laptop must away to the loading screen, but... I got a black screen. IV turned off the computer and turn it back on, but still, I get a blank screen. The lights are on but know one's home.

    Could a mod/staff/Board Toshiba administrator please explain to me why I'm going to draw the consequences of my lack full on my face because I followed a form of direct teaching of personnel of Toshiba or... Please run me through the process of bring back my cell partners in life, before that I get my Crown snatched jewels. This isn't a laugh. An upgrade directly from the manufacturer is not intended to cause you problems!

    Please get back to me as soon as POSSIBLE. My first son moments of life (videos, photos) are on this laptop. That cannot be replaced. Please tell me that the laptop can be fixed...

    Hello Durks

    I'm really sorry to hear you I have this problem.
    To be honest, it is not easy to discuss about this because a lot of people on this forum with a similar or same problem reacts quite aggressive if they don t hear exactly the thing they want to hear.

    In any case, I just want to write my comment. Don t be worried about photos and other important data. You can remove the laptop HARD drive, put it in a small box of HDD SATA 2.5 and connect the HARD drive to the other PC / laptop as external device. You will have full access to all stored data. So you can do the backup.

    Update the BIOS.
    What to say at this point?
    I have checked the Toshiba download page and saw that the BIOS update is available for Windows XP Home edition and Vista pre-installed notebooks so I hope you ve chosen the right one. Anyway, it is not easy to fix screwed up in the BIOS. You hate me now, but I think you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Call them, explain the situation and ask what you can do about it.

    I hope you will fix this laptop soon.

    Good luck.

  • HP ENVY 360: Used aswr Forum to install the update to the Bios of HP laptops, but SUP Assist does not recognize

    The laptop BIOS update failed in the support Assistant.  Has found the solution on the Forum, which has successfully installed.  Support Wizard reports that the update must be installed after the reboot to finish installing the bios update.  Why can't support assistant recognize the update is complete and it's a matter of remove the updated rating in SA and display it as was not?

    HPSA can be buggy sometimes. I would dismiss the alert about the BIOS.

  • BIOS not no projection on the screen of the laptop (only with Ext. VGA)

    Hello

    I have a problem lately in my Lenovo Y550 (Windows 7 x 64).

    When I start it, I hear the sound of LENOVO, but I don't see anything on the screen! Loads of Windows and then I could see everything!

    When I connect to a screen (with d - sub), I could see the LENOVO loading animation etc. Also the BIOS. But otherwise, I see nothing in the laptop screen!

    I tried everything already. Reinstalling Windows 7, update the BIOS etc, but still it has the problem.

    Sometimes (like 1 in 100 times...) I can't see the animation, but usually...

    Any idea on what to do or which component to replace?

    Thank you!

    I guess that it is a hardware problem or fixing the LCD again or do a bios update solves this problem. So I suggest, its best to contact lenovo support.

    Reboot, or power on the laptop and immediately after that the Sony Vaio logo disappears, press the F10 key several times. This brings you to the built-in recovery Partition.

    You can reinstall the operating system from there.

  • G9 - 791 tried to activate the AHCI in the BIOS, killed for laptop

    Since I've upgraded to a SSD, I tried to activate the AHCI in the BIOS mode, just like I did with my Alienware laptop.  After changing the setting and restart, I was unable to boot the system (it's ok), but also unable to get into the BIOS to change it back to the RAID.

    Which led me to return the laptop to the place where I bought it and get a new, still under warranty.  Is there a reason any BIOS gets damaged when you change this setting?  I'd like to use the AHCI mode instead, but I can't afford another laptop brick.

    I got it! I actually downloaded and installed the most recent Intel (14.8.XXX), and then changed RST 4 setting in my registry to reflect the changes of the AHCI. Restarted without enabling AHCI in the BIOS, to make the site everything was still good. Perfect. Return restarted to the BIOS and activated ONLY AHCI. Does not all other parameters. Rebooted (twice), and everything works!
