• Tecra 8000 does not start after the BIOS update

  From one day to the other does not start my Tecra 8000 (400 MHz/256 MB BIOS 9.30 for years). After start-up, the disc starts to turn, but the screen including the backlight remains completely black, without red logo TOSHIBA BIOS is not accessible.

  I got a new mainboard on stock, so I replaced it, and it worked. Unfortunately now my WLAN card now did not work properly. I tried several settings of the BIOS with no results, so I decided to do an update of the BIOS from 7.50 to 9: 30. After the upgrade, I get the message "ROM WRITE successful, utility completed. LEADER BIOS: Tecra8000 v 9,30 ". Because what either kept silent, I pressed the power button to restart and heard a long and many short beeps (endless). I could interrupt what pressing the powerbutton for 5s.

  After turning on again I have the same problem as described in the first line :-( I can't get into the BIOS, but I can again update (with pressed F12). Once again these beeps.

  What to do with these beeps after average BIOS update? I replaced the MoBo connector LED with pension. Processor, memory, keyboard and HD has remained the same. So, before I start disassembling the machine, please notify, your help is very appreciated.

  Hello Joachim

  I'm not a technician and don t know what the beeps but I am afraid that the BIOS chip is damaged. Because of this, the unit is completely dead. Sorry, but I really don t believe you can do anything. Maybe the new motherboard again :(

• A series of satellite does not start after the BIOS update

  After update bios with the downloaded utility my laptop does not start.
  Do you have this case covered by the warranty?

  I'm not sure if this would be covered by the warranty. You must contact the ASP in your country for details, but I assume that it s not covered.

  PS: Did you try this work around:
  -remove the battery, disconnect the adapter
  -wait ~ 40 min
  -connect the two devices again and try to turn on the laptop

• Portege Z930-118 does not start after the BIOS update

  My PORTEGE Z930-118 failover and wont start after I upgrade in the middle of the upgrade I remove power, then press stop down after I see the power and wireless but the screen stays black?

  Any help please

  In this case the EPROM has to be reflashed once more using crisis disk BIOS.
  Usually this must be done by authorized maker Toshiba. But of course this will be possible only if the EPROM module has not been too bad.

  What to say: try procedure (link above) posted by Bob. In which case it will not work, ASP is your next contact point.

  Good luck

• Satellite L50-A-160 does not start after the Bios Update

  Hi, first of all, this is first post.

  I have 2 satellite L50-A-160 with bios 1.1

  Problem: seems to go to sleep after a few minutes, even working on them (even with both)

  So, I found an updated version 1.9, downloaded and running on one of the laptops. the biosupdate tool found matching the BIOS and a race.
  In the middle of flashing, he fell asleep. turned on and not start. What can I do? Recovery options? I guess the same thing will happen with the other too...

  What is the problem with these computers?

  Besides; very poor battery, always shows 0% available and not charging...
  Does anyone have a solution?

  Best regards
  -always in the hope.
  GT

  Have you tried to change in Power Options?

  See screenshot and try to change the ones I marked (it can refresh the settings, just change the values) and see if this solves the problem.

  

  and for the other laptop with no boot, a laptop sleep by updating the bios will surely mess it.

  what I don't understand is why your sleep laptop BIOS update, as far as I know the sleep settings is active then on windows (since this is controlled by windows)
  He does not sleep while in the BIOS you leave 1 year, sleep settings active only after loading windows.

  have you tried to check the time of processor for your laptop? Maybe its overheating causing auto-off

• Satellite A100 - BIOS and Windows does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello, I extend my Satellite A100 laptop BIOS.

  After update, I can't start my laptop and the BIOS will not start.

  You see the Toshiba logo?

  Try to remove the battery and the adapter and leave for a few hours. You can also try reinstalling the RAM.

  If this does not help, you will need to send it to a Service Center for repair.

• Satellite L350 - does not start after the BIOS update

I am now no longer able to boot up the laptop at all, all I get is the power light on and the hard disk light flashes, I hear the spinning CD/DVD drive, but what is not screen anything, I don't think this is the start.

  Is there a way to fix this without taking it to a store/engineer, BIOS recovery?

  The laptop is a Satellite L350, I opened the laptop to try to reset the CMOS by removing the card mother battery (not sure if it would have helped), but as much as I know it doesn't have an or I'm not.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Andy

  Hi Andy,.

  Hmm... If the BIOS update failed, you can't do anything because only an authorized service provider has professional diagnostic and recovery tools to redo an update.

  So in my opinion, you must contact a service provider authorized in your country. Get in touch with the guy and ask for help. They will tell you what to do now.

  Here is their list:

• HP Pavilion dv9260nr does not start after the bios update

  After the HP Health Check, it was recommended that I have updated to the current bios.  After you have downloaded and installed, the computer would not start.  Instead, it emits a long beep and 2 short beeps and the screen is blank.  How can I recover a bios update failed?  Is there a way to return the computer to the bios Setup?

  I thought I would post here to help others as I just spent 5 hours to fix this problem. I have personally experienced this on two different computers, both are model DV9260NR. I woke up in the long and short two beep power. The first time it happened, I tried to fix the BIOS by using the recovery disk, but it didn't work. I tried this using a USB floppy like any other player. The floppy drive should get accessible, then machine would be on a second beep then stop, but it would remain under tension. The first time around I gave up and eventually return it to HP as it was under warranty. This time above the current problem computer is more under warranty so I decided to test out of old college. After trying several discs crisis different Phoenix, I finally found one that worked.

  I downloaded crisdisk.zip here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?3ccb9m0kv0m

  Followed by the latest bios from HP for the DV9260NR

  FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp42001-42500/sp42187.exe

  I used 7 - zip to extract the files in sp42187.exe and crisdisk.zip

  go to the folder where you extracted sp42187.exe and rename it to 30BBF2D. WPH into the BIOS. WPH

  Copy BIOS.wph to the folder where your snippet CRISDISK.zip

  I have created my disk in Vista, so don't worry about going "Real DOS".

  YOU MUST USE CRISDISK TO CREATE THE DISC!  SIMPLY COPY THE RIGHT FILES ON A FLOPPY DISK DID NOT WORK!

  Open a command prompt, I used command.com not cmd.exe

  CD to the folder CRISDISK.

  At the prompt enter: "CRISDISK. "BAT HAS:

  Finally, put in a blank disk and follow the instructions.

  Once the disk created, slap this puppy in a floppy USB drive and plug it into the computer.  I didn't need to use as or Windows + B, B FN hotkeys to trigger the BIOS recovery. The system entered in the BIOS for me recovery mode and tried to access the USB floppy.  I noticed that not all USB ports will work.  I plugged my USB stick, floppy to the next to the power supply.  If all goes well just turn on the computer with connected USB floppy drive and the disc in the drive. As before the system beeps once per second during playback of the disc.  The disk activity, arrested again, but this time that the system kept beep immediately after discontinuation of access to the drive.  These beeps point you out that the BIOS is flashed, it's just leave turn. When it was made the machine itself set off.  If yours is not, so I doubt that the BIOS recovery will succeed. I then unplugged the USB floppy drive, turned on again and to my surprise I was greeted by the HP and the BIOS logo!  I hope this helps people difficulty of their DV9260NR.  I met four dv9260nr machines and two of them does not update the BIOS using WinPhlash and the finished machine trashed, not good statistically.  I hope that others with the same model will be able to get their machinery running. I'd be curious to know if it works for others.  Post here if you are or do not succeed using this procedure. Good luck!

• Lenovo E560 does not start after the BIOS update

  Finally, gave in the throbbing Lenovo and updated the BIOS on my E560 - big mistake.

  He's been through and installed correctly, no problems with chess, etc. (finally none that appeared on the screen).

  The laptop delivered to market very well, he crossed and updated the BIOS, restarted once and... nothing.

  At the present time I jumped the battery and power, reset the device (press the pwr for 15 sec, etc.), removed all devices, etc., etc., google for similar events and so little matter what I did, the laptop is as dead as a brick. I have the red on but that is all. Nothing doesn't appear on the screen (so can't see UEFI/BIOS), no fans start and the only thing that does the job is that the DVD drive can be opened.

  It's a relatively recent laptop (minimum 12 months so still under warranty), but as a word of warning to the other owners E560 - DO NOT INSTALL THE latest VERSION of the BIOS update.

  Well not unless you want a weight of expensive paper for your office.

  Managed to get everything sorted out (thanks to Lenovo support).

  Pop the battery and AC, then remove and reinstall the CMOS battery brought the laptop to life.

• Satellite A100 does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I downloaded the update to the bios toshiba A100 PSAA8 on the toshiba site and applied using the procedure of updating the bios from windows XP MSE. Restart after the start of the update stopped at the toshiba start screen.

  At startup the screen by pressing ESC watch text mode. The message indicated it confirms the update of the bios version. POST messages are:

  _________________________
  Genuine Intel CPU
  No TPM or TPM has problem
  1015 M system RAM passed

  Press to enter in SETUP
  _________________________

  Pressing F2 just clears the last message in line and then no change is found.

  The laptop comes with windows XP media center edition. I don't know why the TPM secure is enabled. It is possible that toshiba is available with the module of TPM enabled in bios updates that logbook. If this is the case, they must clearly identified as 'not applicable' upgrade for machines that are not relevant.

  I found similar messages around the forum without convincing answer.

  Is it possible to fix this without sending? Even if it turns out to be affordable, it make much sense to pay for the problems caused by toshiba.

  Hello

  Please don t blame someone for you mistakes ;)
  As far as I know that only a few sets of laptops come with TPM.
  If you want to do an update of the BIOS on the models at TPM, you will need to contact the ASP!

  Looks like you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure.

  The Toshiba page a BISO update the documentation that describes how to upgrade the BIOS on each series laptop!
  You will find on the page of the Toshiba driver compatible BIOS and information over a large number of details!

  > Is it possible to fix this without sending
  Don t think so, and therefore, you will need to contact the Asp help!

  Good luck

• Helix died on me, does not start after the BIOS update

  I just did an update of the BIOS the other day. No idea what version it is. When I started it it said "error detection on the HARD drive...". ». I have since reset the BIOS by default options, and now it starts with a splash BACK-like screen that shows the disk ATA HDD0. But selecting and pressing on enter flashes just the screen and nothing happens.

  When I attach a USB with Linux, it appears in options on the BACK-like boot screen, but the selection does not to start.

  The laptop is now completely uselss and I lose the days of time and this is a major problem. What should do?

  Hello. Assuming that you have not clean installed a new operating system, and you have the

  Win8 original installation on your propeller.

  Enter the BIOS Setup by pressing F1 when the Lenovo logo appears.

  Go to Security - Secure Boot and set it to off if you want to start any OS other than Win8.

  If you are happy with just the Windows 8 running on it, then I recommend Secure Boot for the value IT.

  Go to start - Boot - and on top must be Windows Boot Manager.

  With Secure Boot set on, Boot to the UEFI/Legacy is grayed out and set to UEFI.

  With Secure Boot set to off, and you want to boot other operating systems, like Linux, it must be set to both.

  Check these settings and see if your computer boots.

• HP Envy 15 Touchsmart does not start after the bios update

  I had one laptop touchsmart from HP Envy 15 (initially Windows 8, windows 8.1 now) for about 2 months now and have not had any problems, until a few hours ago I tried to update the bios of my laptop with the hp support assistant. After the reboot, the pc is more would start up and took me to a blue screen with the error SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Everything that I've done short far from a refreshment or a reset has not worked and if I could I would avoid both that I don't have the bandwidth to download windows 8.1 again.

  HI Calsius:

  Thank you for your query.  I will be happy to help in any way I can!

  After the Windows 8.1 update, did you create a restore point?  If so, you can use to restore from that date and not lose your 8.1 updated.  Some BIOS have an option for a restoration which should not affect your operating system.  I did a search of Microsoft and found this answer click here.   Here is a document on the ' update the BIOS'   click here.»  You did not provide your model number and the HP Envy 15, is a series, so I couldn't get a specific documentation for your computer.  Here is a document on ' computer will start (Windows 8) " click here. If you are able to get your computer running and upward I update all the driversand then create a restore point to return if necessary.  If the Bios update should fail a 2nd time, your restore point will take back you to just before you retried the update. If you were to use the recovery option you need go back to Windows 8, or back to the factory.

  Please let me know if this helped.

• brand new HP ENVY 17 Quad TouchSmart t does not start after the BIOS update

  I agree allow a recommended HP BIOS update today and after the update, it requires a reboot.  The system warned me after that I have authorized the restart that the screen would go black and he told me do not turn off the computer.  I obeyed, but then it was never restarted.  I waited 20 minutes and I got a black screen.  I stopped the power and tried to restart, and the power lights (LED keyboard and power button / stop is turned on), but it's just a black screen.

  Looks like others have had this problem.  Any ideas?

  I solved the problem with the help of a few others on the forum.  I had to remove all USB devices and turn on the power and it starts up as it should.

  Thank you.
