Satellite A100 - 920 PS9AA: 5,60 a BIOS update broke to boot from USB

• Satellite A100-TA7 hangs at POST after BIOS update

  Kind of tech swavy, I know that my chances are very low to solve this but this is.

  I decided to update the BIOS on my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-TA7(PSAA8C-TA702C) to the latest version available (6.00).

  I did it because I've heard of people have better luck doing their job of FN keys on linux with the latest BIOS.
  The installation is completed normally (went through all the steps, wrote to all 21 blocks) without any error, but after the reboot, I noticed that it is now displayed at the Toshiba logo screen.

  The blue progress bar moves twice but got caught then about 1/3 of the way through.
  To see how bad the damage was, I Press esc at the beginning of the POST and saw that it gives me the right Version of the BIOS (6.00).

  He also told me that "no TPM or TPM has problem" and "2039 M RAM Passed system."
  It then displays the message "Press to enter SETUP" (which makes the message disappears, but otherwise doesn't do anything.

  If I press f2 during the Toshiba logo screen, it replaces the message at the bottom with "Please wait" and nothing happens even after an hour of waiting.
  (Which makes sense, because before the bar blue everything would load before entering the CMOS settings). The thing is that the BIOS is not really "freeze", it gets stuck just at a specific place (I know because I can press F2 even after an hour of waiting and the laptop meets it by displaying "Please Wait".)

  Someone at - it no more things I could try? Thank you

  PS. I tried clearing CMOS too.

  It of very long history and it does not sound good

  > I decided to update the BIOS on my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-TA7 (PSAA8C-TA702C) to the latest version available (6.00).
  I wonder about your BIOS version that I know, that the laptop series is designed for the Canadian market. It s a Canadian series and the BIOS or drivers should be downloaded from the Canadian site of Toshiba!
  Bad BIOS could cause issues like this it describes your message above!

  > I did it because I've heard of people have better luck doing their job of FN keys on Linux with the latest BIOS.
  Keys FN Toshiba need driver Toshiba and it turns out that Toshiba driver pages don t offer the drivers for Linux distributions, so I put t believe in the story spread by any people.

  I don t want to write a long story, so I would cut this now;
  Is that something was happening during the BIOS update process.
  Either you have used a procedure to update the BIOS or wring wrong and so the laptop can not pass the MESSAGE

  You will need to contact the local ASP to solve this problem, maybe you're a lucky guy and the technician should Flash the ROM module but in the worst cases, your motherboard is damage and must be replaced. :(

  Good luck

• 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

• Satellite A100-920 - Audio driver problem - Win XP Pro

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem with audio driver. I can't seem to find one that works anywhere, I looked at several forums and the Toshiba site for drivers without success. I basically hit a wall, so I hope someone can provide a working solution. :)

  Audio device:
  Feature: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
  Manufacturer: Intel

  (Information retrieved using a Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD)

  Although a windows system it labels as "Realtek High Definition Audio Controller"? (I'm not an expert with the drivers, so maybe this is a stupid question...) :)

  The computer is a Toshiba Satellite A100-920 (PSAA9E) Windows XP Professional.

  I spent hours trying to solve this problem, so I hope this is the last mile. :) Thanks to anyone with suggestions.

  Best regards
  Alan

  You use Windows XP Home with SP2 or SP3?

• Satellite A100 PSAA8E: Cannot boot from USB after Bios Update

  Hello

  I downloaded the latest bios (v6) for my satellite a100 (psaa8e) and after the update of the old bios, I noticed that I can not boot from USB. Is there a way to restore the old bios or will this problem solved?

  See you soon
  MB

  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.

• Satellite A100-991 - cannot boot from USB device

  My Satellite A100-991 (MS Windows XP MCE, SP3) does not start from a USB key or USB hard drive. The same USB devices are bootable if they are connected to a desktop computer or a laptop from other manufacturers. I put the USB as the first boot device and use an image "Bart PE" on my USB device.

  In fact, I have installed 2.10 Phoenix Bios version and I wonder if I could update the BIOS by using the 'sa105v21.exe' program and that this would resolve the startup problem.

  Hello

  Have you tested different USB keys? I think that your current USB key is not compatible
  Also test the USB to different USB ports. A port may be defective for the computer to start t with him.

  Theoretically, you can try upgrading the BIOS but don t forget s a bit more risky and it should be the last step.
  Prior to this, load default settings in the BIOS and check if you can boot from USB.

• Boot from USB on Satellite Pro A100

  Hi, I own a satellite pro A100 computer laptop. I tested a live distribution of linux which is bootable from a usb key. When I set the bios to boot from removable devices with my inserted bootable usb key does not start it and comes back to my installation disk hard windows. Is this 1 / a problem with my key/OS or 2 / satellite pro does not boot from USB as a removable device or 3 / require special strikes as for the CDROM?

  TIA

  Hello

  I m not 100% agree with Tobi. As far as I know it s only in a position to initiate the device USB FDD (diskette).

• Satellite L30 - 11 d: update Bios to boot from USB

  I have a Satellite L30 11(d) bought Sept 07.

  I'm interested in trying to boot from USB, at the present time, my bios does not.
  I am looking to update my bios. There is a updated bios updated for me to download (3.10WIN).

  I have 3 questions:

  (1) 3.10WIN allows to boot from USB?

  (2) is 3.10WIN related to the use of MS Vista? (Looking at this article , it seems that the new phoenix / toshiba bios only allows panoramas...?)

  (3) how to settle?

  (with ubuntu 7.10 works well... aside from the sound)

  As to the question;

  (1) No, it is not possible to boot from a memory stick USB HDD or USM

  (2) each BIOS for each series of Toshiba notebook is different! Please don t no matter what other laptop computer BIOS or fixed PCs. Satellite L30 - 10 d belongs to the series of the 3,10 and PSL33E BIOS is OS independent. If your laptop comes with XP then the BIOS supports XP completely. Of course, you can try to install Vista but it is possible that some features of the laptop as FN keys will be does not work

  (3) the BIOS should always be done in the Windows operating system. As you can see on the page of the Toshiba driver the BIOS version is called 3.10Win - version

• Update the BIOS to boot from USB on a Satellite P20

  Hi all

  I would like to be able to boot to a USB with my P20 drive. However, upgrades to the bios, which I find to PSP26 reference date of the 2004 numbers, a few months older than my laptop itself - which the BIOS does not have the USB boot. This means that there is no available uograde newest BIOS?

  In addition, the 'trad' updated BIOS available for PSP26 zip file contains one... of files windows self-extracting (?), rather than the usual set of files including a CD iso image. (But in any case, it is very old...)

• Re: Satellite NB10T-A-101 - cannot boot from USB key

  Hello

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite NB10T-A-101 and want to improve performance by changing the HDD with a SSD and install windows Pro 8.1.

  However, I am unable to boot from USB, it always mention:
  + Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. +

  I already disabled secure, used 5 + usb startup different sticks (work fine on other laptops).

  Can you please tell me what the approach is to change the HARD drive and then boot from a USB bootable (UEFI).

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Laptop Satellite NB10T-A-101 was equipped with an Intel CPU 2810 n which is part of the new Intel Bay Trail-M platform.

  This new technology Intel Bay Trail allows installation of UEFI capable systems:
  Win 8 or 8.1 Win

  Just a few questions:
  Have you already changed the HARD drive to SSD drive?
  If so, the new SSD is recognized in the BIOS?
  Have you tried to boot from the USB flash memory stick 8.1 Win until you changed your SSD drive?

  I think that you have answered the question yourself because you've posted all the startup options that are available and there is no option to boot USB on this laptop.

• Satellite M70 - can I boot from USB?

  Hello.

  My computer is Satellite M70-PSM71E.
  Win XP - PRO - SP3 - 2 MB Ram - IE8 & FF.

  My question is: my BIOS can manage a booting from a USB key?

  Thanks in advance

  As far as I know it of only possible to boot from a USB FDD.
  But if you mean an external HARD drive or USB key I think that it s is not possible.

  You can try it out and post your result, but I tried it on my Toshiba laptop and I can say s is not possible.
  But I put t need this feature because I always start from the HARD disk where I stored my OS and files. :)
