Qosmio F20-153 BIOS password reset

Hello
I have a client who has had maliciously twisted their BIOS password protected by an engineer who claimed that he could 'fix' what is called? the BIOS for £50.00.

So I need to reset the BIOS to remove the password. She asks password at startup so that I can't access windows to try to Flash the BIOS to cause a reset. I tried the usual approach to remove the CMOS battery (which only tends to make the RTC these days) with no luck.

Is it possible with one? Key disk? or reset USB dongle for it or is it a case of Service Center?

Thanks for any help

Hello

Unfortunately, this is definitevely a case for a service center because the BIOS removal procedure is special and there is no disc master and mistress and whatever.

West something with a code that must be generated from the technician and sent to the Japan to get another code and so. I Don t really know what they are doing, but when a technician had to remove my Qosmio G30 BIOS password it told me that what I told you.

Just send it to a service center and let them to remove the password. But beware, most of the ASP´s is in charge of customers to remove the BIOS password.

Welcome them

  • Qosmio F20-153 - ntoskrnl.exe file missing

    Hello

    I have an almost 5 year old toshiba Qosmio F20-153, which has developed an error with the Windows message root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe file is missing.
    I wonder if it's fixable without completely re - install the complete operating system that I still have the Toshiba restore disk.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hey Buddy,

    In my view, your only option is recovering the entire notebook. The Toshiba Recovery disk only contains an image of factory settings, which means that you can t install this single file of this disc.
    In addition it s a good idea to reinstall Windows from time to time. If your installation is already 5 years old, you should do this. You will be surprised with the speed of your laptop is after that. :)

    Use the recovery disk is quite simple: you must boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen. You do a few clicks only and that s it!

  • Need your opinion on Qosmio F20-153

    Hello

    I'm considering buying a QOSMIO F20-153 and I was wondering if anyone knew if the Sims 2 are played on this subject, because graphics cards cannot play. And also, as it has Microsoft Media center as the operating system, Access and Excel come from on this?

    Hello

    Well, the Qosmio is a very nice unit with a very high performance.
    Laptops generally use different graphics drivers like the desktop PC.
    The adapters that are installed in laptops are a little different than the graphics in desktop computers.
    In this case specifications manufacturers recommend in graphic form drivers for laptop manufacturers Web sites.
    These drivers are sometimes not up-to-date and sometimes newer games need new graphics drivers.
    In my opinion, if someone needs a unit to play ONLY games at the best way to use the desktop. These units are also easier to upgrade equipment.

    Toshiba laptops, Microsoft office is not preinstalled on computers. If you want to use it, you must purchase applications.

    Hello

    I've been updated BIOS firmware for laptop users, but I am stuck because of the absence of BIOS admin password. This has not been defined by anyone, and if so, I already tried a few passwords by default we use in special cases like this. Can you please help me with BIOS password reset please? I don't want to open up the laptop to reset the BIOS with the PIN, battery or switch... and I'm really not sure if this is possible with this model. Whatever it is, guaranteed disappears if I do.

    Enterprise-class specifications are of a very different category than consumer laptops.

    Security is very strict.

    Remove the password admin or start will require replacement of the motherboard or BIOS CMOS chip with one that has been programmed with a new copy of a ROM family file there is place of BIOS.

    For the notebook to stay in coverage that must be performed by a service provider authorized HP.

  • Qosmio F20-153 - strange question DVD RAM

    Hello

    recently bought a F20-153 (PQF22E) the DVD RAM drive was a UJ-840 and had the problem of common reading and writing on discs, I have a UJ-841 replacement, but when I set up the BIOS came with the CR ROM of ERROR report.

    So I bought a different known working 840 a laptop Toshiba, it equipped and the BIOS came back with the same ERROR of CD ROM on start up.

    Now for the weird, I closed the lid and went to make a cup of tea and have a think about, when I opened this new Windows has detected the drive, install the drivers, and now I have a working drive... BUT...

    Whenever I stop the laptop, it reports the same error on start up, and yet once there drive when first at Windows startup, but once his punt and I put it in hibernation, the drive appears again and works perfectly.

    I tried this since the 841 and the same thing is happening, just checked in the Device Manager and noticed that while the label says UJ-840, Windows reports the 'new' 840 as a 831.

    I read that the Qosmio player needs must be set to master, this could be the problem? Or Toshiba locking of the type of drive in the BIOS?
    The UJ-831 that I have discovered came from a satellite.

    Sorry this is such a long post, I wanted to just participate as much detail as possible, all you have ideas?

  • Need the drivers Windows Vista for Qosmio F20-153

    Things to do any know when Toshiba will start producing F20-153 Windows Vista drivers?
    F30 drivers work?

    Hello

    I m afraid. Toshiba will not publish for F20 Vista drivers at this moment :(

    You know the knowledge base of Toshiba? You can find it on the home page of the Toshiba support.
    However, I studied a bit in this base and found this article:
    Microsoft Windows Vista Driver Support for Toshiba laptops models
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7201SK002HR01.htm

    There are several series of laptops listed, but unfortunately not a Qosmio F20 :(

    However, the G20 is also not listed in this list, but some G20 here in the forum users have managed to reinstall Vista and additional drivers.
    Try it.
