  When I plug in my microphone in my open mic port a program that uses a microphone, as recorder of sounds, my computer becomes unresponcive, frozen. The only way to put an end to this, is to shut down my PC. I tried this on many different programs and all do not work. It's a Satellite A215-S7428.

  How can I solve this problem? Does anyone know the email for toshiba computer support. My phone does not work. How can I determine the manufacter of the soundcard, I know that toshiba only computer assemblies, they do not have their parts.

  You can see the sound chip of brand / model in Device Manager under sound, video, game controllers

  uninstall the sound utility and driver control panel and install the latest version from the Toshiba Driver download site.

  Also update the BIOS.

• I messed up on Satellite A215 BIOS

  Laptop Toshiba Satellite A215-S4747

  wanted to put update the BIOS to the black screen problem intermittent, had the opportunity to update the BIOS of Yes hell which seems easy for me way to update Windows, machine stops (as it was supposed to) and when I tried to power it on again I get Toshiba logo with "Press F2 for Setup or F12 for boot devices" - that's all , no key on the keyboard does not cause a response from what I can find I might have to replace the card mother darn or buy a new computer.

  Unfortunately the Akuma is just about that. When the BIOS chip is damaged there is nothing you can do about it. Please contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer.

• Satellite A660 BIOS - crash down

  I have a problem with my Satellite A660 new... (I bought it in September 2010). The problem is the BIOS has failed to start, the monitor is still black and memory not working anymore... If I turn off and restart to turned on again and then after several times the BIOS starts and Windows7. But suddenly the system breaks down and when I try to restart the original problem reappears...

  If anyone has had the same problem before please answer me what should I do now... I really appreciate it. Anyone know if it is a hardware problem or a software problem...

  Thanks, Bye

  Hello Ardo

  My advice to you is to contact Toshiba service as soon as possible. You bought the new product with a warranty and it should work. Describes problems sounds quite serious and you should not waste your time waiting for tips.

  Be honest, what can you do about it? Not much. You can try to reinstall OS, play with block power (start without battery, test with AC adapter only) remove the memory and check this yet, but in general, I put t think this will help.

  Contact the service and let them check your laptop.
  Do you know how to find the service provider authorized in your country?

• Satellite A215-S4817 - update the BIOS

  Hi, I'm trying to find the update of the BIOS for a Satellite A215-S4817. I tried several BIOS updates for numbers of similar but not exact model without success.

  In addition, this Web of Toshiba site does not recognize my serial number, and it cannot complete the application auto-defaut either. Maybe I have a more serious problem? The real problem is that my laptop will crash occasionally (screen goes completely black), but a hard restart to fix it. I was told I need to update BIOS, but maybe I need something different.

  Thanks for your help!

  > I'm trying to find the update of the BIOS for a Satellite A215-S4817. I tried several BIOS updates for numbers of similar but not exact model without success.

  It is a series of Toshiba laptops we.
  The BIOS can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page we:

  > In addition, this Web of Toshiba site does not recognize my serial number and he cannot complete the application auto-defaut either.
  This happened because this is a Toshiba US series and this site is for Europeans portable Toshiba!

• Satellite Pro A100 crashed during Windows BIOS upgrade, now does not start.

  Satellite Pro A100 crashed during the upgrade of the bios from windows (upgrade the bios using windows), now the laptop will not boot. I press the on switch and it gives me just a blank screen, so I think that resets itself. I really need help solving this because I have a University paper due in the next few days and I need my laptop!
  Close for any help.

  It's a scream! :_| : O

  This looks like a damage ROM module!
  How did you do the BIOS update? I have red in this forum that a wrong procedure or wrong BIOS can damage the motherboard.

  I think that it s a deal. I put t know if it s needed to change the entire motherboard or update the BIOS again but I n t think you will be able to do it yourself.

  I think the best way is to ask the Toshiba service partner in your country.
  I think they'll give you more details on the handling of the Fryer

• Satellite A215 S6816 won't mode BIOS and Windows does not load

  Hello

  I'm helping a friend to determine what the problem could be on his laptop satellite A215 - S6816 Windows does not load on start up and it says "press F2 for Setup, press F12 for the boot device selection menu" but niether one of these options works no matter what I do.

  I tried them on start up but nothing happens. It will be not just to enter mode BIOS or the menu. It will say please wait or entering the menue, but yet again, nothing happens.
  What else can I try to enter the menu, either to get the system to get windows to load? This could be a motherboard problem? Hard drive problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  If you are unable to access the BIOS, or to load the Windows operating system, and then a serious hardware problem is present.
  Eventually he s a motherboard related question that means it could be a faulty motherboard or just a small part of the motherboard as a ROM chip for example.
  I doubt this can be fixed without help the ASP.

  There is thus only one real solution. go to ASP. Guys must verify the simple parts to determine what part is affected.

  Good luck

• Flash BIOS on Satellite A215

  I have a Satellite A215-S7444 originally shipped with Vista 32 bit, I have since made a custom installation of Se7en 64-bit. There is a problem of coming put fashion 'sleep' audio device disappears. OK, so there is an update of the Bios for my model that is supposed to fix this problem.

  If I remember well in the forums someone had posted "to not start from inside windows or u might completely bork your system." I have dl. The Bios updated and created a "bootable CD" according to the instructions using windows disc image burner, but as far as I went.

  I would therefore like to some someone to write instructions step by step for me on how SUCCESSFULLY Flash my Bios. As much, I know you must press F12 during startup, and then select the "Startup" tab, and then select Boot from disc. "Then you need to select"Save and Exit with changes"or something of the sort. And then restart. Is this correct or am I missing a step? I know that there is a SINGLE shot that if I want to get it's okay. Has anyone else successfully flashed the Bios?

  Thank you for all the useful information.

  Hello

  I agree with the user above. Make sure that you have downloaded the correct BIOS update. Otherwise you may destroy the ROM module

  If you update the BIOS from a bootable floppy, you don t have the stress with running programs. Just start the update and don t stop the laptop during this procedure and hope that everything will work! ;)

• Satellite A215 boots to BIOS password screen.

  I have a Satellite A215-7425 with a problem, I thought I'd pass along the forum. Thank God the three Toshiba laptops that we use, it's the only one who has this problem, so far.

  Spontaneously, this laptop starts with the screen of the BIOS at startup password. The problem is, there is no solution for this problem before returning the computer to a Service Center Toshiba where the password can be reset or replaced a security chip or such nonsense. Toshiba technical support can help you to short to send you a UPS box to return the computer in. Technical support Toshiba doesn't have a password that they can give you, or they do not know what causes this problem, but "Toshiba working on it." A search for this problem on Google translates into various web sites that list the Toshiba BIOS passwords, which none has solved my problem.

  Now for my question, that Toshiba could not answer, why, in heaven's name would be a laptop or any computer for that matter, be set up in this way? What is a BIOS password, which, with the lack of effectivly, the computer makes them unusable, has to do with security? It's stupid!

  Oh and another thing, Toshiba is not the only company that does this, Gateway, HP and Dell do not provide a password of BIOS for repair, or their Support technicians technical people.

  So if your Toshiba start screen of the BIOS password, and that your Toshiba just happens to contain information essential for peace in the world, you're out of luck until it can be delivered being repaired and delivered back to you.

  Desmond, a very dissatisfied customer of Toshiba.

  I m the ASP will remove the BISO password and will solve this problem.

• Satellite P205D-4378 crashed so that the BIOS update

  Hello everyone,

  It is my first post on the forum, although I've read here a lot.

  My problem seems to be classic: had several problems with my Satellite P205D-4378 crash.
  Visited the Web from Toshiba site, they have a BIOS update that fixes the problems that I have. I do the update, CRAAAASH!, dead computer.

  Death seriously.

  Turn on the other computer, search, find a few websites on "crisis recovery disk Phoenix.

  I read religiously, run to the store, buy a FDD, some readers, usb, the Bios file download, rename, make the drive...

  Trembling with anxiety, I press FN + b, switch on the machine, and it works!

  Well well... at least the works of the Zombie fashion: pink LED, high speed fans, manages the USB FDD, begins the USB FDD, he read for a good two minutes! Then nothing.

  'It's ok, it'll be ok' I think. The starting block is a program that is not more than 4 k, the computer has no bios, impossible to use anything, and must digest a 1000 k bios.

  I wait, nothing happens.

  SO what now? I tried the 'start FDD' ten times at least. Last try, I waited all night! I Went sleep after the computer read the floppy).

  Whatever I do, once the disk has been read, nothing happens.

  I turn it off, I unplug it, I try with battery, no battery, I speak well, I insult, I pray, I cry, I swear... NOTHING WORKS!

  I do something wrong, somewhere.

  On my drive are the phlash16.exe, the minidos.sys and the bios.wph (extract from a file named AASA40. ROM, downloaded with the pack zip on the toshiba site)

  What should I do? I read it on some forums that computer makers like Dell and Compaq deliberately disable the Boot Block Flash, is the same thing with Toshiba?

  The latest version of the bios that I have downloaded is corrupted?

  Is it possible that my motherboard is physically by the update failed? In this case, is it easy to replace yourself?

  I don't want to be ripped off by Toshiba for repair, if the only thing that I miss so far is a combination of keys at the end of the flash Boot Block recovery...

  In short, I'm lost.

  No idea to this wonderful group of reflection?

  Thank you

  Baaharb.

  I think that the update of the BIOS based on windows is security more like an update of the traditional Bios.
  Why? Because using the traditional BIOS there is always a risk that the wrong BIOS would be used.
  The BIOS using focused on victory, this risk does not exist.

  I know a lot of people who uses a bad BIOS and damaged module BIOS ROM.

  Anyway. To show you, I think that there is one solution as mentioned by delvoie, you will have to contact the local ASP.

  See you soon

• Satellite A215-S4757 blue screen & startup failure after HARD drive partitioning

  I just bought a Satellite A215-S4757 a week ago & I tried to divide my hard drive coz, I was only one partion (250 GB) using acronis disk director.

  After that I got the blue screen and now I failed to start and I tried all the options to repair my windows or load in SafeMode to no avail coz it crashes just from the window of microsoft corporation.

  I tried to reinstall windows vista with the cd but still does not!
  pls someone helo me :(

  Hello

  Creator of disc of Acronis does not for me but I know for sure that you can split the capacity of the HARD drive into two partitions with rendering recovery DVDs. Start your laptop with recovery DVDs and check the option to install it.

  You must have a mobile US model. I am from Europe and I don't know about you how it works with the recovery media in the United States, but it should be similar to the European and because of that it must be an option to divide the capacity of the HARD disk with two partitions.

  Please try again. It should work somehow.

• Satellite A215-s4697 - HARD drive round and round

  I have a Satellite A215-s4697. AMD Turion 54 x 2 Dual Core technology tl-52 with 1 GB of ram.
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

  The hard drive on this thing just turns and turns and that the computer is slow.
  Im making here mail web (IE is the only thing that I opened) and it runs without interruption.
  Sometimes the computer crashes then releases sometimes it says: "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and I restart.

  When I plug it to the tv to watch a show off hulu.com, for example, the player can run for 10 minutes before Detroit back work.
  However, then it works. That's so slow that it's frustrating.

  Any ideas.

  I tried the improve performance including removal of old programs, clean disc of deleted files and installers, ect.

  Thank you.

  Hi Seahunt,

  First of all, you must back up all data on the HARD drive. If the disk HARD still turns upward it sounds like this it becomes defective and must be replaced don t store on important data

  You can get a new HDD to a service provider authorized or an another computer store. As much as I now you need a HARD drive with SATA interface.

• Satellite A215-S7444 - freezes after Hibernation mode

  I have a Satellite A215-S7444 which is 2 years. It came with a 32-bit version of Vista. I just do a custom install of Windows7 64 bit. It seems that after coming out of standby the laptop hangs and I have to do a hard reboot.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

  Hello

  Do you have also installed all the drivers for your laptop from the Web from Toshiba site? Make sure that there is no yellow exclamation point in Device Manager.

  In addition, I would try to update the BIOS. You should find it here:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com > download

  Before the BIOS update, close all running programs and make sure that you are logged on as administrator.

• Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN

  Hello

  My Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN. The network driver is a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC I've been looking through this forum and found some wire whit exactly the same problem, saying that the solution is to update Realtek lan set up in BIOS, not the computer BIOS, but I can't find any link to download the necessary upgrade file. Can anyone tell me please where to find this upgrade file or send it to me directly?

  Thanks in advance

  Is - this transfer of data in the company where you work? Do you want to download data from the server, or how to understand this? How to understand what you mean under big data?

  Have you tried downloading data on the Internet? For example, if you try to download some trailer HD (more than 200 MB)?

• Satellite A50-110 crashed - replacement of the CPU

  Hello.

  I should say this microprocessor appreciate supports laptop Satellite A50-110, crashed and they wanted change.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You want to replace the CPU?
  Do you think its faulty?
  How did you check that?

  To be honest this A50 is truly oldie the CPU that was used is Intel Pentium M 725 (1.60 GHz, 2 MB Cache, 400 MHz FSB, L2)

  I'm not sure that this chipset was built in but generally if you want to use the new CPU, ensuring that the chipset would support the new processor.
  But even if the chipset would support the new processor, there is always a question regarding BIOS support it might be possible that BIOS wouldn't treat a new CPU.
