  • Satellite L70 - A - 13P - cannot get into BIOS after the BIOS setting password?

    HI, Satellite L70 - A - 13P

    I set up a password user and supervisor. Works very well. However, I can't get into bios. If I press F2 as usual, I have the box "enter password" (the same as for normal startup). After you type the password for the supervisor, computer continues initializing and do not get into the bios!

    I keep the key pressed F2 but nothing works.
    I also tried ESC, F1, INS, F12, 0.

    Help.

    User and supervisor password the same?
    Have you been able to get into the BIOS in the past?

    Proceed to a complete stop and restart the laptop. Then try with F2 or F12. When you will be asked to set supervisor password and I hope that you will be able to enter the BIOS settings.

    Hello:

    Welcome to the HP support forum.

    I believe that these new W8 BIOS, you must tap the ESC button right at the beginning of the HP welcome screen to get a menu of options.

    One of the options should be an option F10 to access the BIOS.

    Then you press the F10 key at this time here.

  • How can you get into BIOS on a Satellite 320 CD.

    Hi my name is steve, I was wondering how get you into the BIOS on a satellite 320 CD. Because it's my first format at the top of a tower. Done a lot on the office laptops just never. As some fool tried to do before me and distroyed it. Now the only thing that happens is when the toshiba logo disappears this message appears, INVALID SYSTEM DISK, REPLACE THE DISK, THEN press ANY KEY. It allows to run Windows 98 and it worked great for what age there. Hoping to put XP on it, but its only got a small hard drive (4099 mb). So will hand 98 on it until I get a bigger hard drive. Only need to teach my daughter how to respect a laptop. I want to get into the BIOS for the format. No instructions on how to enter the BIOS would be great, because I'm good from there. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    You suggested that you want to enter the BIOS to format the HARD drive. Very strange.
    However, if you want to boot from the CD so you can also use the C button immediately after the power button.
    The laptop should boot from the CD of Win98. The installation procedure contains a HARD drive format option.

  • Satellite L840/020 - can't get into BIOS after enabling the quick start option

    I have a laptop Toshiba L840/020 (PSK8LA-020007). I recently installed a 330 Series SSD and Windows 8 Pro RTM 6.2.9200 MSDNAA on this Intel and enabled the fast boot option in the BIOS (boot speed > fast).

    Now I can't get into the BIOS, no matter what I do. I tried pressing the power button / stop while pressing F2 (as suggested by a few other forums), upward on default that I tried all F and Esc keys, but nothing does. I also tried repeatedly pressing F2 during startup, plugged a USB external and supported on F2 keyboard on it, but no matter what I can't get into the BIOS.

    When I go to the Toshiba support download section > 8 64 bit Windows, I see also a BIOS update for my laptop, but when I try to install I get the following error:

    ---------------------------
    Error
    ---------------------------

    Without this IHISI interface, variables to authenticate will be modified or erased by flash process.
    If you understand the risk and want to keep flashing.
    You can add the following parameter in platform.ini to ignore the error.

    I'm not changing platform.ini and flash, without first asking the help of the community.

    Hello

    First try INS then F2 key.

    Then you should be able to access the BIOS, I recommend disabling the QuickStart in the BIOS if you can successfully enter the BIOS.

    With regard to the update of the BIOS.
    I checked the page of the Toshiba driver to THE and it seems that the BIOS v6.20 is even similar to Win 7.
    I think that the BIOS update must be done running the system pre-installed Toshiba since Win 8 is not officially on the market, and to my knowledge, there are some big restrictions updated BIOS running Win 8

Now, I want to get into the BIOS, but I never get there.

    Hey what are you doing? You want to lose your warranty? Do not do stupid things. Remove the BIOS battery you will not reset the BIOS. It is not simple desktop machine.

    Please proceed to a full stop - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm - and after boot up your laptop, press F12 and you will enter the start menu with the option to enter the BIOS settings.

  • Re: How to run the update to the BIOS of the DOS - Satellite A100 PSAA8A command prompt?

    I'm having some trouble with my GF Satellite A100 (PSAA8A). When installing a new HARD drive with a clean install of XP, I flashed by chance, one of the BIOS when installing drivers. Its kind of bricks now.

    Using a floppy disk CD boot, combined with the update of the V6.00 BIOS, I goes to a DOS command prompt, but not sure where to go now.

    Under * Tradional BIOS update *.
    See the link: [http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07]

    It is said:
    + 1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder. +
    + 2. Three subfolders will be generated in the temporary folder. "docs", "update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW +.
    + 3. Insert a 1.44 MB diskette formatted in the floppy disk drive. +
    + 4. Run the *.exe file in the folder "" Update - 3.5 disk ". Follow the instructions on the screen. A BIOS update diskette will be generated. +

    But there is no 3 folder. There is only a single called S10VWF that contains Winphlash etc. (see photo url). As far as I know, I can only run Winphlash Windows environment due to its GUI. Then what should I do? Help!

    Hi Brett

    There is a little thing that you have forgotten or supervised.

    The BIOS you downloaded is a version of BIOS to WIN. It s not traditional BIOS update!

    The description published in your ad describes the update using the traditional BIOS.
    But the Toshiba driver page only provides updates of BIOS based VICTORY. The BIOS can be upgraded only from Windows operating system running.

    Please don't mix these two possibilities of updates!

  • HP Pro 3515: cannot get into BIOS with 3515

    I have tried for two days to ge in the BIOS but failed. None of the traditional keys happen to me. After much fumbling I managed on the basis of two times get the configuration screen, but could enter the BIOS. In the installer, I chose to accept default start, but for a long time my boot process was not quite normal. I always get a press F1 to start down in the lower left corner of the screen; I don't know why that happened. If I go ahead and press F1, it starts and runs normally. I wonder if it has something to do with UEFI?

    Here is a notice that I found on the specifications page.  Does not appear to describe your problem?

  • Can't get into BIOS

    I just bought a side 130 for my girlfriend for Christmas and wanted to set up today.

    But I just can't get into the BIOS! I keep on pressing F1 during the startup Lenovo screen.

    I have pressed it several times, he broke down, I even tried with the Fn key. Nothing has worked.

    I have been working with and professional support Lenovo (and IBM) laptops for more than 10 years and not once I had such a problem. It is only the second E-series phone I've ever had. I bought myself an E525 last summer and had no such problems and to work, we have T, X and W-series.

    Am I missing something? Am I too old? :-D

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanx

    The twist, I completely power down the laptop - meaning, hold the button for 5 seconds (the closure of normal windows will not suffice).

    Then, when you turn it back on and see the Lenovo logo for the first time, you should see the message "press on enter to interrupt Boot", press ENTER, and then you will get a menu of options, one being to enter the bios.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 won't enter the BIOS. Anyone (Esc, F9, F10, F1, F2 etc.) on the key

    Hello

    I have HP pavilion dv7, which leaves me not in the BIOS to change the boot order.

    I have windows 8 32-bit installed and keep start normally any key (Esc, F9, F10, F1, F2 etc) at the beginning, is pressed or hold... it will not stop the boot and won't let me in the BIOS. All it does if the keys are pressed, it emits beeps but boot then anyway.

    I want to boot from USB and install WIndows 8.1 64bits.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    This could help you as it solved my problem yesterday. I disabled quick start (or quick start) in the settings menu of your laptop. I have turned on one day, not knowing that it prevents you from all the boot options. I'm at work and do not have access to a large part of the internet, but google "disable fast boot windows 8 ' or 'disable' quickboot. There are quite a few Web pages that walk through it.

    I am now able to access BIOS.
