• Satellite A200 - 1 CG PSAE3E: BIOS corrupted - solved with the crisis recovery disk

  Hi all

  I would like to report on the success of the recovery of corrupted bios on my Satellite A200 - 1 CG (PSAE3E).
  Like many others I downloaded a latest bios update for my laptop and it started under Windows 7 64-bit.

  In fact I only needs of some practical information from the bios update tool, but the update started automatically
  without a question. :( After several blocks has been updated the progress bar stuck a heterocycle.
  In 2 minutes, I got only the system completely frozen. I turned off the system manually, it works again, and...
  my laptop was completely dead: screen etc black and of course, I wasn't able to boot in Windows 7.

  So for those who only plans to update the bios: DO NOT update the BIOS ON the SATELLITE UNDER WINDOWS! THE UPDATE MAY BE STUCK!

  I searched on the web has found a solution. With a specially created disk and external usb floppy drive, the problem can be solved then

  I tried the recovery procedure described here, but it did not help. Earlier versions of tool phlash16.exe
  where it is not able to restore the bios. I heard that the disk was read constantly for about 2 minutes. After the recommended 5 min break, I changed the power of and then turned back on it and... I had the same darkness of the screen as before :(

  The strange thing is that the latest version of the tool phlash16.exe also did not work, but it was different from the earlier version. If I used the older version of the tool, the disk has been read for about 2 min, if used the latest version of the disk was read for about 10 seconds. It was for me, as the bios was not simply read by the tool.

  So I searched and searched again. Then I found it: it takes phlash.ini to the phlash16.exe!
  I downloaded an old bios (something from 2007) for an unknown Toshiba laptop to the Toshiba site. I renamed both the archive and found a phlash.ini inside. I changed only the second line in the ini file of... = 0 to... = 1 (I guess).

  Then I formatted the diskette under dos, copied the minidos.sys he phlash16.exe (latest version), a new bios for my laptop in BIOS. WPH (I guess) and after a phlash.ini has been fixed. After that, I started the crisis recovery makeboot.exe utility (found on the site, which I mentioned earlier). After that, I have the phone in recovery mode (Fn + B) bootet and... It worked like a charm. So, the important thing was the phlash.ini!

  So for those who has the same problem with corrupt bios, I've had: it's phlash.ini and the latest version of the tool phlash16.exe.
  All other information can be retrieved on the web site, which I mentioned earlier. The described method works with the phoenix bios!

  So good Look

  Kind regards
  Igor

  Thanks for the friend information
  But to be honest, the procedure of BIOS is always a sensitive issue and I would be always careful in using such things.

  When even good to know that your device is running again!

• Satellite A200 (PSAE6) cannot download BIOS update

• Cannot access BIOS Tecra M11 - 11K times supervisor password has been programmed

  Hello

  I have 10 laptops Toshiba Tecra M11 - 11K here and they all have the same problem. If they lit and I enter in BIOS to make adjustments for the first time, it is good but if I want to go back to the BIOS after a few restart (or even one), what happens when I press F2 is the screen flashes and the computer restarts. It does on all 10 laptops. Someone knows what to do with it? Flashing the BIOS means that I have to configure each one until I can do that, which is somewhat a burden and I have no warranty, it will work. :/

  Thank you

  J

  Stand by.
  What does this mean exactly?
  I understand you have made some changes in the BIOS, but after a few restart, you can enter the settings of the BIOS again.

  This means you are not able to enter the BIOS or you need to switch the phone OFF, wait a bit and then it still works?

  When you set the default settings for the BIOS (if possible) this problem persists?

• Re: Satellite L40 - black screen after BIOS update

  Hello world

  I have exactly the same problem, as shown here:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-euro...ThreadId=35156

  My laptop is a Satellite L40 - 150 (model PSL48E) it came with Vista and BIOS version 1.60

  I updated the BIOS to version 5.50, because I wanted to install Windows XP. The BIOS update process went well and the computer restarted automatically. After the reboot, I entered the BIOS (by pressing the F2 key). I pressed F9 to load the default settings and you exit the BIOS, saving the changes.

  Restarting the laptop and the screen is now completely empty. Nothing appears in it.

  I tried to remove and then reinsert the RAM modules, but it did not help.

  So, I guess the only option is to return the laptop to a service center?

  Why Toshiba do that? They are this deliberately or what?

  Kind regards.

  Hello

  I put t agree with Leolo and put I t too agree with you.
  The point is that there are tow updated BIOS for the L40.
  One for Win XP and one for Win Vista;
  But the two BONES work on with the two BIOS but some functions such as the FN buttons wouldn't work if you n t use good BIOS for the good OS.

  The BIOS on the Toshiba page is not defective. But of course, it is always possible that something will go wrong during the BIOS update procedure because the BISO update is always risky!

  One of my friends has updated the BIOS on this laptop and everything went well!

• Satellite Pro C660-29W. How to remove the supervisor password

  Hi all
  I've been locked out of my bios and I don't know the password. My little brother was playing with my laptop computer and accidentally set the supervisor password. Is it possible that I can recover the password or reset it? I really need to change my boot sequence as I just bought a new SSD and need to format my laptop. Suggestions will be highly appreciated.

  Here's my version of bios and details of laptop

  Toshiba satellite Pro C660-29W

  CPU Intel Core i5 2410 M

  8 GB Ram DDR3

  BIOS: BIOS FRIEND - installation utility Aptio
  BIOS system ver: 1.50
  THIS Version: 1.50

  Thank you

  Supervisor password is very important safety device and a kind of reset of the user is not possible. You can cancel it, but you must know the correct password to confirm that you are the real owner computer laptop.

  Toshiba provider in your country can help you with this. You just approve that you are owner of the laptop, and they can cancel it for you. Of course, you must pay for it.

  As far as I know, there are several techniques for the removal of password and it depends on phone model.

  Contact the closest Toshiba ASP and ask for help.

• Satellite Pro S300 - how to enter the supervisor password?

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro S300-11 years and have a problem. One day, I decided that wanted to put a password for the supervisor to the bios of the laptop. Now, I remember this password, but when I have access to the BIOS Setup, I can't watch any o change option disable this password. I can't enter this password to set me a supervisor, and also I can't change some options with respect to the example, the boot sequence.

  How can I remove this password or how do I log in as a supervisor? I see no option for this, and I need to change the boot sequence.

  A big thank you.

  Hello

  On this that I can only say, check your user manual! ;)

  There, I created the following information:
  + C:\Program Files\Toshiba\PassowrdUtility\TOSPU.exe+
  + This utility allows you to do the following: +.
  + Register, remove, or change the supervisor password.
  + Create or cancel a supervisor password token +.

  Check this and then you should be able to remove the password if you know the current.

• After that Ms last update the task manager has changed

  After that the last MS updated, the task manager has changed. I used for the right click at the bottom of the screen, select Task Manager & get 3 or 4? options to select.

  Those I used gave me a chart of the use of Internet + speed info; now, I only get the list of processes, no option & the only way out is to TAP (DO NOT TOUCH!) the ESC key.

  Is this another feature of MS or make me a form of bribery? JV

  Sorry, but I don't really know what the problem is here. In any case, try to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. Choose the time prior to installation of update from Ms. Everything should be as it was before.

  Check that your current account (and only the adobe, used in the next step id is good) by logging in here and check the status of your subscription, https://www.adobe.com/account.html

  then, if it's current, disconnect and then back to your client application using the adobe with the link above in cc id: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

  If this fails to solve the problem, Cloud Creative applications back in test mode after an update until 2015 for CC

• Re: Satellite A200 LEFP6 is slow after updating the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Toshiba.

  2 days ago, I installed a new driver BIOS on the computer. Since then, a laptop computer is running much more slow then normal. I don't know what to do?
  I want to get the previous Bios driver but I don't know how to do it and I don't wont to do the biggest problem that I have now.

  I chose good driver for my 'machine', Vista 32-bit (http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/eula/info_eng2.asp).
  Can you help me???

  I also have one more problem. My cd/dvd drive does not read the cd drive.
  Is it possible that the problem is Vista? Because a few months ago, I had a similar problem with cd/dvd player. This day someone we the internet forum advice change me something in (I'm not sure) a registry file.

  It is a good solution because the disappearance of the problem and everything was working properly until this month.

  Thanks for any help,
  So I hope you understand my English :)
  Nice day

  Hello

  Currently, the European driver Toshiba page provides a Vista 32 bit version of BIOS 2.50.
  Don't forget that your BIOS has been updated to 2.50. You can check in the BIOS settings.

  In addition, I also recommend setting the default BIOS.
  This can be done in the BIOS itself.

  But generally it s not easy t say why your laptop is slower. To be honest I don t understand what you mean by running a lot more slow then normal
  The laptop starts more slowly? Or what's a problem exactly?

  So now a few tips about you, CD/DVD drives issue;
  Yes, sometimes the windows sets some filter values in the registry and this may affect the functionality of CD/DVD drive.

  Check this thread:

  There you can find the solution.
  And here is the link to the useful program that removes these registry values

• Satellite A200 - including details on BIOS 2.10 WIN

  I have the Satellite A200 1N7 with 2x512MB RAM. My maximum resolution of RAM is now 2 MB. I can to change 1x512mo by 1 x 2 MB. I can to install the new bios update (2.10 day WIN 19.02.2008). Is this possible?

  I'm afraid you did your complicated ad. If I understand you right you use 1 GB of RAM for the moment, but want to upgrade to 2 GB. Am I right about that?

  On the BIOS update, I say follow: you can do the BIOS update when you want but if the system works well leave him is.
