  One of the user who has used some how put either them as I read on the forms Toshiba sattlights have a bug which sets the bios password with informing them the user.

  If anyone has any help would be much apprecated.

  This bug only affected one or two Satellite models for many years, there are hundreds of models Satellite now with completely different hardware. The only way to remove the password on the S750 is to send the laptop to a Toshiba Service Center and to pay for the work.

• Satellite Pro L10: BIOS passwords again

  Hello!

  Tonight one of my friends brought me his Satellite Pro L10 and asked me to remove the user password, cose she dislikes grasp every time... OK, it's very simple! -I said. I went to the BIOS with the same password, found the supervisor password option and turn off the power. I could not enter the user password option and left him, thinking I'll fix this later... Well...

  Can you imagine how I was surprised when the system says - password invalid! More... I tried to go back to the BIOS, but system asked me a password... but I deleted "Supervisor password" well, I typed the old one and it does not again!

  Ok. Of course, later, I found the manual for this Satellite Pro L10, I know that it might be preferable to use the Toshiba Console and Toshiba HWSetup could be.

  Tell me, please, supervisor password had priority, and now she has to remember his user password?
  Or there is something else?

  Thank you!

  I studied a bit on the Toshiba knowledge site (it s very useful and interesting) and found this knowledge base article:

  Satellite L10 - setting the BIOS and supervisor passwords
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5300WK001GR01.htm

  Check it out. Maybe it helps.

  Additional, as I know if is not the BIOS password, you cannot delete it by yourself. Only the service guys are able to remove unknown BIOS password.

• How to remove the Satellite Pro 4600 BIOS password?

  A friend of mine recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 (PS460E-03371-EN). Unfortuately the password of the BIOS was set before the purchase and would like to know how to reset it.
  The machine will not start now.
  Any help as to the location of the BIOS battery or work around this problem will be appreciated.

  Hello

  To remove the BIOS battery will not help. BIOS by removing on laptops is more complicated than on desktop computers. BIOS by removing the procedure depends on the laptop model and it is not the same on all models of laptops.

  A lot of people get the laptop with password and to provide an accurate description how do this in the public forum is not good idea.
  Have you tried to contact the person who sold this laptop and ask BIOS password?

• How to remove the Satellite Pro 2100 BIOS password?

  Hi one of our former workers have our business sp2100 laptop and recently left, now we went to use the laptop and it has a password on it.

  We cannot get in touch with the ex-worker and now have a laptop useless?

  can anyone help?

  HEY Mac,

  Unfortunately, once a BIOS password is set, it is not a simple procedure to reset unless the original password is known. It is a simple but effective measure to protect the PC or laptop in case of theft, so obviously any widely known for the bypass procedure would make it inefficient.

  You will need to contact an authorized Toshiba Service partner who, after having completed the audit of the ownershipo re-flash of the BIOS chip to remove the current password, or replace the motherboard (including the BIOS chip) depending on the model.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A100 - BIOS problems: B-S-O-D & non-sync

  Hey all,.
  I recently updated my BIOS to 1.6
  After the update:
  -If I select "Shutdown" or "Restart", I get a 'blue screen of death' (a whole bunch of text too fast as I can't read), and restarted my laptop.
  -If I select "Logout" instead, followed by "Stop" or "Restart", while the laptop seems stopped, etc., correctly.
  However, even if it looks correctly stopped using the "Logout" approach, my laptop is now not sync'ing properly with my server.

  I am convinced that it is the update of the BIOS, as nothing has changed since the update (or even before the update).

  Is it possible, or rather, how downgrade / format / restore my previous BIOS?
  I would like to make an update of the previous BIOS (to Oct 2006), as well as the backup BIOS the BIOS before this 2006 update.

  Any help will be appreciated.

• Satellite Pro A100 request BIOS password which was never put

  Hiya

  Have had my Satellite Pro A100 for almost 2 years and that all this time have never even heard of a password system, but all of a sudden, I turned on the laptop this morning and it does not load. I tried pressing F12 (can't remember why, it seemed the thing to do to read the instructions at the bottom of the screen), but nothing happened so I just turned off the power. Put on again, he asked the system password. (A black screen with a blue box, with the old text base BACK type fonts).

  I have no idea what it could be, I tried the word system and tried just pressing on enter without text in there but it says incorrect password. I removed the battery and left 10 hours but put it back in the machine there is no difference, it will not always go through this screen.

  I am the only user on this machine, have no idea what caused it. I am aware of security, have installed on complete McAfee AV and did not have anything odd happen at all. Didn't last changes made to the configuration, no new software etc. so I have no idea what prompted it.

  Can anyone help please?

  Thanks in advance

  This password seems to be a BIOS password, but I have no idea why this password is displayed if you have never defined it.
  Unfortunately, there is not a lot to see the BIOS password can be removed without the help of an ASP.

  Then, contact the service provider allowed in your country and request removal of the password.

  I also recommend updating the BIOS after the technician removed the password.

  Do you know how to find the ASP closest?

• Satellite Pro A100-830 with 4 GB of memory but the BIOS tells me that I have only 3 GB

  I have a Satellite Pro A100-830 and I bought the maximum memory for what is 2x2gb, for a total of 4 GB in my world. When I put the DIMMs in themselves in a slot, the BIOS reports 2 GB. BIOS Bravo! When I put both together, I see only 3 GB in the bios!

  I found this link on the Crucial site. http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.asp?QID=4251

  Suggest page files, peripherals etc. occupy memory on your system at startup, before the operating system is used I guess. If you do not have the maximum memory installed, you should see the total memory. If you got the maximum memory installed, you will not see the memory used by page etc. files. Why would it be? Why you would see 2 GB if you have only 2 GB but then see 3 GB if you have 4 GB due to the system!

  Anyone can shed some light on this subject and be eligible or reject the information in this link. I need to replace the memory and/or the pc?

  Thank you

  Mark

  This is not a BIOS problem but a Windows.
  I found this info:
  Windows XP Professional 32-bit is limited to 4 GB of address space. If you have 4 GB of RAM installed, it won't show 4 GB in Windows. You will probably get what the size of your pagefile subtracted the 4 GB.

  Some of this address space is reserved for the hardware and the operating system... so you will never have access to the 4 GB maximum in any case. If you want access to 4 GB of RAM +... your best solution is to pick up XP Pro 64 - bit... but this will only work if your CPU P4 has EMT64. (64-bit)
  You can also try to turn on DEP if it is not already enabled... This will also allow EAP that can give you access to all 4 GB

  So finally a response:
  > Do I need to replace the memory and/or the pc
  -> No, everything is ok... you need not to change the hardware

• Satellite Pro A100: Trojan warning message during the windows BIOS update

  Trying to update my Bios through windows, my anti virus (f-secure) has a crush on decompressing the zip file a warning.

  The warning pointed out that the folder contained a Trojan horse and that he had been cleared to protect my computer.
  A warning from microsoft also said that access to these files had been blocked to protect your system.

  Is it possible that this update, downloaded from Toshiba really contain malware or could there be another reason for this event?

  Advice for help would be appreciated

  Hi james

  Don't you panic! You BIOS are not affected by Trojans, Malware or viruses.
  For the most part these BIOS files are not known for anti-virus applications and, consequently, anti virus software reports and notifies a virus.

  Before you start the update of the BIOS, you must disable automatic virus protection!

• 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 Pro A100 - PSAAAE CPU upgrade

  Hi Toshiba,

  I have an old * Satellite Pro A100 * _PSAAAE-type_ and I would like to upgrade the processor. I have seen that is 479, and I found that there are the Core 2 Duo on this plug. The 945GM chipset supports Core 2 Duo, but I don't know if my laptop BIOS supports these CPU.

  Someone can confirm or not?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  In General, upgrading the CPU is not recommended.
  Of course, you can use the processors that are supported by the chipset, but the BIOS compatibility is another story. No one can tell if your laptop would be stable after this upgrade due to the higher heat dissipation.

  But I read in this forum that some guys have upgraded the processor and the laptop still works

  Any suggestins/help will be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Who knows what happened to your computer? Have you tried to restore the firewall settings or factory settings? Otherwise, there can be question of updating the Bios, if you downgrade BIOS, it can bring the system with white screen crash.

• Satellite Pro A100 and load problems

  Hello everyone. New Member here.

  Got a huge problem with my laptop. I have a satellite pro A100-830. Part number: PSAACE-00W002EN. About 2 years ago

  I can run on the current system. But it will not work on battery. I just bought a new battery and it shows on the computer.
  I get indications are:

  battery charge amber lit.
  Light on power
  Power meter indicates the battery charge. I connected new battery and it shows 47% and now 3 hours later its still 47%
  If I unplug the power to the computer shuts down and will not work on battery.

  the AC light seems to be slightly duller than the one next to him, if that makes sense.

  Ive tried updating the BIOS etc but I'm ideas if im honest as im not a computer pro. I searched the internet but I can't find an answer

  Huge thanks in advance

  Stand by.
  We need more explanation here.

  You have the same problem with the battery and you have bought one new in the hope that everything will be OK?
  Have you noticed the same problem with the battery?
  You bought original Toshiba battery?

  In my view BIOS update won't help you much. I think electronic power is responsible for this BIOS update ahs no influence on this.

• Satellite Pro A100 - it does not recognize 4 GB of RAM

  Hello
  today I purchased two 2 GB RAM Corsair DIMMS (DDR2 - 667 mhz) for my Satellite Pro A100.

  After that I updated the BIOS it detected the 4 GB of RAM, but the balance of RAM on the boot prompt checks only 3 GB of RAM. So I can use only 3 GB of RAM (I use ubuntu 64 as an operating system). When I try to RAM into another laptop, it works perfectly. A memtest86 + says check: no error. When I plug in a dimm in the laptop, it is correctly detected as a 2 GB dimm module (tested two DIMMs into the two slots on motherboard)

  Anyone else seen this behavior? For me, it looks like a limitation or a bug in the version of the BIOS.

  (The processor supports 64-bit (core2duo t5500))

  Hello

  What Satellite Pro A100 you have exactly?
  As far as I know that some models can only be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

  It's really not easy to say what is the reason for this because I m confused on the subject of what the BIOS recognize the 4 GB of RAM, but not the boot prompt.
  I'm not sure that maybe the modules are not compatible with your laptop. You can test other modules?
