Satellite A200-1AD: Bios password set after the start of the USB

Hello

I have an A200-1AD bought in August 2007.
My BIOS password has been set after that I booted up with a non bootable USB key into it.
The date has been reset to 01/01/2005.

Anyone have this problem before?
As far as I know that there is no virus on USB key or a laptop.

I can start my laptop but cannot get into the bios because of the question of password.

Does anyone have a solution?

Welcome them

Hey Buddy

To be honest I have no idea why this password has been defined after using non bootable USB flash drive. For me it s not explainable

However, the bad news is that you will need to contact the ASP in your country to get rid of this password.
Is BIOS password can be removed by ASP and so the ASP help is needed.

  • Re: Satellite A200-1BQ, does not not after the screen saver

    Hi, I have a Satellite A200, 32-bit Windows 7 OS. When you use the screensaver to the PC stop responding. Have to spend because no response.

    If you have a report some problem send it please.

    Hello

    This means that Windows 7 hangs and does not answer only when the screen saver has been activated?
    Have you noticed the same problem with Win XP or Win Vista?

    If not then this behavior of the laptop could be related only to Win 7 and I think that it might be caused by the graphic card driver

    Remove the graphics driver that you have installed and test the screen saver using the common windows driver 7

    It would be interesting to know what is happening

  • Satellite A200-1NF needs time to read the USB flash drive

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-1NF, model No.: ETA 6-055021FR works with Windows 7.

    My problem is that my USB is plenty of time to read the USB keys.

    Could you please help me to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Sorry, but for me the question is not clear enough... Satellite A200 recognizes the connected USB MemoryStick?
    If he recognizes the USB device connected, then everything seems to be OK.

    By the way: you said that the laptop needs a lot of time reading the USB...
    How long does it take and have you checked if the number is displayed using different USB ports and different flash memory sticks?

    If this is not the case, what to do

  • Satellite A200-137 - cannot install windows after the hard disk crash

    last week my a200-137 crashed and now I have the new hitachi 500 GB hard drive on it, even before the accident.
    I have install with Toshiba recovery DVD windows Vista on it and after succesfull installed I have to start windows, it says prepare for first use windows then I have to wait a while and then I get the message that windows setup is not complete. But it is complete!

    After trying to install 3 times with recovert I tried to install windows xp.
    After a few minutes and transering files, I don't get the message no disc found! It is said that there is no hard drive on the laptop!
    But when I start the start menu or the settings menu, I can see the 500 GB Hitachi hard drive!

    So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

    > So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why you can not install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same thing will happen when you replace the HARD with the same or identical.
    This title was the original HARD drive?
    If possible, try to get original Microsoft installation disc and check if the HARD drive will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and boot OS preinstalled.

    Regarding the installation of Windows XP Home edition: it is well known that the WXP installation will start properly due to lack of SATA driver that must be loaded prior to installation of WXP begins.
    Check out this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 MB: some problems after the downgrade from Vista to XP 64 bit

    I have a laptop A200 1 MB

    and I changed my OS Win XP 64 bit and I just had a few problems

    1 - the parchment in the touchpad do not work
    2 - the function keys (Fn) does not work either
    3. I can't update the Bios it gives me an error on the file phlashnt.sys. It is said that, if I do not have without administrator privileges are trying to log in again as an administrator

    However, my account is an administrator account

    Thnx everyone for trying to help me

    I think you have these issues because the drivers are missing.

    I see you are using the XP 64 bit OS. Toshiba drivers for win 32 bit and so some features don't work and you can't update the BIOS.

  • Satellite A30: BIOS password persists after removing

    Hi all

    I am using a Satellite A30, I set this password on the Bios "youandme" so after I decided to remove this password, I delete it properly, but after restard the laptop, the bios ask for the password, what can I do? Thank you for your support.
    Ometa

    Hello

    Why are you sure have you remove the BIOS password successfully 100%?
    Usually you can not remove the BIOS password without knowing the old.
    It s very strange what you describe, because after the BIOS password turn off the laptop should work properly without asking the password.

    Well, the fact is that only the Toshiba service partner can remove the BIOS password if someone forgot the own password.

    Unfortunately, I put t see any other possibility.

  • How to remove the Satellite Pro 4600 BIOS password?

    A friend of mine recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 (PS460E-03371-EN). Unfortuately the password of the BIOS was set before the purchase and would like to know how to reset it.
    The machine will not start now.
    Any help as to the location of the BIOS battery or work around this problem will be appreciated.

    Hello

    To remove the BIOS battery will not help. BIOS by removing on laptops is more complicated than on desktop computers. BIOS by removing the procedure depends on the laptop model and it is not the same on all models of laptops.

    A lot of people get the laptop with password and to provide an accurate description how do this in the public forum is not good idea.
    Have you tried to contact the person who sold this laptop and ask BIOS password?

  • Satellite A200 (PSAFCA) does not work after BIOS update triying

    Hello

    I was hoping if someone could help me pls.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 (PSAFCA).
    Recently, I tried the bios update and while I flashed the bios I forgot to plug the laptop into the current and the battery was flat at half way through the flashing.

    Thus the laptop now won't post when I turn on and all I get is a white screen.
    I was wondering if someone could pls advise me on how I can get the old bios back or even a method of flashing it if I put the bios back in so I can at least get a message to display on the screen.

    Any help that you provide would be greatly appreciated as I am at a loss.

    Thanking you in advance

    > while I flashed the bios I forgot to plug the laptop into the current and the battery flat at half way through the flashing.

    Well buddy, the cell must always be connected to the mains during the execution of an update of the BIOS! This is very important!
    Now it looks like the update of BIOS didn't t run and finish correctly and the ROM module seems to be flashed incorrectly.

    Unfortunately, there is no other solution to communicate with ASP guys and ask for help! They should be able to help you.

    But note; in the worst cases, the ROM module is unfortunate and the motherboard needs to be replaced.

    Good luck

  • Broken covers lock on Satellite A200-1AD

    Hello

    My locking of the cover of my Satellite A200-1AD is broken.
    Now, I have to use a credit card to open the screen.
    Anyone know where I can get a new one?

    I bought the laptop in August 2007 with 1 year warranty.

    Hey Buddy

    You can get compatible parts of the ASP from Toshiba (authorized service provider) in your country. Guys could order the necessary parts and replace it.

    I saw your other thread on BIOS password:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/message.jspa?MessageID=150724

    So you will need to contact the ASP to also remove the password, and then the broken lid locking could be replaced.

    Bq. "the laptop can be upgraded up to 4 GB (2 x 2 GB). But the Windows operating system will not recognize the full 4 GB. He acknowledged only 3 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS': 0

    Q1 - is saving 1 GB of RAM cause any problem, when is not used?

    Q2 - can spare 1 GB waiting in my book up is 32-bit upgrade to 64-bit?

    Q3-How can I upgrade CPU 32-bit to 64-bit?

    And just need to confirm a report of R2D2 on notice the guy with A200 - 14 d that have 'problem with RAM', which is similar to my confusion-

    Bq. "... The laptop was equipped 667 Mhz modules, but the FSB supports 533 Mhz max. That's why the modules run max with the speed of 533 Mhz (dual channel)... »

    Q4 - can I install 2 x 2 GB DDR2 667 MHz PC2 - 5300 SO - DIMM despite FSB run just 533 MHz?

    Q3 as described in the technical paper 4 GB will be recognized if you install Vista 64-bit.
    Q4 Yes as you can.
