Portege - cannot access after BIOS update

People,

I've been struggling with this unit for some time now and I seem to be progressively worse.

My current problem is that I can access is no longer the BIOS after changing a setting in the BIOS that USB emulation (or something like that). I was trying to make the boot from a USB device and turn well enough with all the settings to see what would work.

This one has not. And now the unit no longer meets the F2. It is as if he is ignorant of the keyboard. DOH!

Is it possible to reverse or re-flashing the BIOS? Or another way to access? I tried an external keyboard, without success.

How did I get here?

Well... I was given this unit to factory State, and I couldn't find an obvious option that would do that, other than Maintenance Toshiba utility which looked hopeful. He offered to erase the partition (which, at the time, seemed fair enough) - BUT THIS "S all there - the machine just starts repeatedly, displays"Please insert system disk"and then reboots.»

OK, I'm a jerk - but it seems ridiculous for Toshiba to offer an option that instantly brick machine?

In any case, I moved this problem to one that is much more serious. Not being is not able to access the BIOS means I have all the options - unless one of you wonderful people help me to discover one.

Help

I have since discovered that setting depending on whether I was going to set - Secure Boot - may have solved the problem - but now that F2 has no effect, so I "can't" to try it.

What model phone you have and what operating system are you using?

If you use Win8.1, you have access to some BIOS settings using settings in the control panel. Check it out please.

  • Cannot boot after BIOS update

    Hi, I recently bought a laptop Inspiron 5000 series, and because the touchpad control was just horrible I did a check for updates and upgrades. The update includes an update of the BIOS I plugged the laptop and ran the update. When it restarts, it failed. All I see is a boot failure:

    The family Realtek PCIe controller error. Media Test failure UNDI. No found boot device.

    I couldn't do a safe boot, but when I tried to get around the boot legacy and UEFI boot it will start.

    I am quite unhappy that a BIOS update (version 1.1.9 was the old version and 1.2.2 was new) caused this. The laptop is only 4 weeks old if I want to get this resolved.

    What should I do?

    You need not Mech system program.  This is what DellCares told me to do it on Twitter:

    Turn on the machine, key to tap F2 on startup Dell logo, it takes you to the BIOS screen. Go to the "Startup" tab, select "start list Options", change the option to "Legacy" to "UEFI".  Restart the machine, it should load correctly in Windows.

    -----

    I must point out that many others on twitter had already told me to try the same thing.  A person has explained why this has happened.  He said upgrading the BIOS changed the start to the legacy option when we UEFI.  Enter the BIOS and change this back solved the problem, so he's probably right.

    Hello

    Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
    And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

    You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

    I've also updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300 but I n t have a problem with the touchpad after the update.

    It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

    And before you can update the BIOS you were able to start the bootable CD from the external optical drive USB drive facilities?

    To be honest I really don't believe it. Try to connect USB FDD and you will see that the FDD is recognized and you will be able to use it as first boot device.

    Months ago, I've updated the bios of my laptop Toshiba L40T-A202. After reboot I can't access the bios. I fixed it by jumping the jcmos into the mobo. Now the problem occurrd again and I can't seem to fix it with the same problem I did.

    With this action, you certainly killed the guarantee. I really don't understand what was the reason for this action.

    For a better understanding, I have a few questions for you:
    Have you successfully updated the BIOS?
    You can start your machine properly?
    See Toshiba welcome screen on startup?
    Windows starts as usual?

    Please check in F2 diagnostics if the scrollbar works correctly. If Yes, then you can update the chipset drivers and http://hp.com/drivers touchpad drivers you can also consult with a mouse external further isolate the issue.

    You can also run diagnostics on the touchpad from this link by going to the UEFI F2 diagnostics: http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03467259 please run the complete components. If any component fails, please note the failure code. This is done to determine if the problem is hardware or software partners.

    If it passes and scrolling works very well, please perform these updates. If you are still having the same problem on page F2 UEFI (screen) then you could roll back bios after performing a hard reset. Link for the hard reset: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01684768

    • Please perform this step to roll back bios.  Hold down the "Windows" key and the letter "B" at the same time, then press the power also button for about 5 seconds at the same time.

  • My Satellite L300-110 hangs after BIOS update

    My Satellite falls down after I updated the BIOS. The old version of my Satellite L300 - 110 (PSLB0E) BIOS was 1.40 and upgrade to 1.50.
    From there on, my system hangs over and over again.

    Any help please. I cannot install Office Enterprise 2007, cannot defragment all my readers.
    Is there an option to restore changes made to my BIOS?
    Help!

    The default settings in the BIOS load after the update?

    You can reinstall Windows with the Toshiba Recovery disk? First back up your data because the HARD drive will be formatted and then start the installation of recovery.

    A restoration to the previous version of the BIOS is not possible, because on the Toshiba site is only the most recent (1.50) BIOS. Only an ASP (authorized service provider) can do a restore.
    You can search for an ASP here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an ASP.

    I don't know Mr. but you did a backup of the old BIOS? Maybe you can Flash this back.

  • Equium A200-1VO does not run stable after BIOS update

    Hello

    I have a PSAF5E-002005KS A200-1V0. I updated my bios to help what he '20080212105826.zip' file and it doesn't seem to be as stable as it was before.
    It get error messages different copy, msdos errors etc.

    Can I return the bios to the original one and where can I find this please?

    Brian

    Unfortunately, the first version of the BIOS can be installed by a technician of the ASP.

    But I wonder about the error messages that appear after the update of the BIOS.
    Have you tried to reinstall the OS from the recovery CD? You must test the laptop with the factory settings!

    By the way; access the BIOS and set the defaults. And don t forget to save changes ;)

  • Equium A200 lagging after Bios Update

    Hello

    I have a question for an update.

    I have an Equium A200 - 1VO PSAF5E with Vista Home Premium and it would not work on lan... after that I tried every update driver there who did not help I saw an update to the bios, so I tried the bios one.

    Everything went well and it restarts when it restarts it lag (sticks) like crazy, I formatted and although he shifted after the restart installed during it sticks again every 3 seconds for a second about. Now when start of the crossbar for about three seconds, and glue the same as it does when the system starts finally.

    I got the update again and he ran again, but he said I had this version so that it wouldn't continue. I now have version 2.10.

    Is - it may be back to the version that did not have my laptop stick so or am that I stick with it like that until another flash of the bios is available?

    Thanks for any advice.

    PS something I noticed was when I tried to reinstall that it went well until it was at the stage end and rebooted, then it shifted, apparently not trolling before then on installation. Ive treid set shape and do it several times, but it happens at the same point and lagging even once (sticks).

    First of all I have to say that it of not possible to go back to BIOS version later because only the most recent BIOS is available on the European driver Toshiba page.
    I don't very well but eventually the Toshiba m authorized service provider would be able to downgrade the BIOS to the earlier version.

    However, the new BIOS that is found on the Toshiba age shouldn't t to worry.
    In your case I would recommend you first access the BIOS and set the defaults.

    I put t know if this can help, but a new installation of Vista OS could also be done. Upgrading from Vista, and then install all the patches.

  • Satellite A500 emit after bios update 1.50

    Hey guys and girls,

    I have some problems after the update of the bios. Before the update my laptop has been the scene of much smoother and everything was fine and dandy until Tempro told me to update my bios. The problem is that after the update, the temperature seems to be considerably higher as usual when I play the game (I am a gamer) and also all the games I play seems to be much slower than before (lower, gal frame rate). Before the update I could play Dragon Age Origins with 1366 x 768 with 4 x anti-aliasing and the only one that I could get the same performance with the graphic parameter above is on 800 x 600. Now, it is certainly a big problem for someone who is a graphics junkie when it comes to games.

    * What do you think I should do? *

    A. downgrade my bios for when I bought everything first? (I don't know what version of bios is if anyone knows the stock bios?)
    B. perform HARD drive recovery?
    C. clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

    My laptop computer spec:

    Model name: Satellite A500
    Part number: PSAR3E-00N005EN
    Serial number: X9206227K
    OS version: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition
    BIOS version: 1.50
    Physical memory: 4096MB RAM
    Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 230 M

    Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    Hi mate

    I think you had a version of BIOS 1.30
    In older versions of the BIOS update are not available on the Toshiba driver download page. Only ASP (partner) has access to these early BIOS versions
