• Satellite C660D (PSC1YE) black screen after BIOS update

  I tried to update my Bios on my Satellite C660D portable (psc1YE) last week (big mistake).

  Something went wrong during the update and now when I power on I just get a black screen (LEDS and fan).

  After reviewing, the conclusion is that I damaged the BIOS that must now be blind flashed.
  So I got the hand on a 512MB memory stick, formatted using FAT through windows XP and used Wincris to create a startup disk after you have added the file bios.rom (renamed Bios.wph) which I extracted the last update of the BIOS on the Toshiba site.

  My memory stick has three visible files on it, Phlash16.exe, bios.wph and minidos.
  I plug laptop with battery, DVD player and power disconnected to stick, and hold Fn + B re-connection cable cable, turn it on.

  The fan whirs at full speed, and the USB lights up and flashes then for a minute, as if being read. No matter how long I let on, the fan will continue whirring and the USB is on and when I unplug and put in still works a black screen.

  I tried different sticks, (up to 4 GB with FAT32 format), programs of different startup (for example, the HP utility) drive but still no luck.

  Can someone tell me what I do wrong? I tried to look for a newer version of Phlash16 just in case that was the problem, but can not find one any where (mine is version 2008)

  All advice would be greatly appreciated even if it's just to tell me that I'm wasting my time because the pc is not repairable.

  I can't tell you if you waste your time or not because I n know if the motherboard ROM module is OK or not

  In most cases, it should be possible to reflash the ROM module using the BIOS crisis disk but this disc is available to authorized Toshiba service technicians and as much as I know reflash this methods is not always the same

  However, in some cases it might be possible that the mobo could not be fixed by disk crisis, it would be the worst case

  I recommend you to contact a certified maintainer Toshiba to check guys would be able to use the crisis disk and could test whether its possible to reflash the module ROM
  Is it not would be not possible well in this case you would need new motherboard :(
  But lets hope do ' t you need...

• Satellite C650 - black screen after BIOS update

  My Satellite C650 Windows 7 - won't start afte BIOS update / switch.

  Everything worked very well until the automatic update of Toshiba asked me to download and install the new BIOS update, I did. At the same session Windows and McAfee asked updated. I agreed to all. After all updates have been installed, turns off. The next day when I walk, I see only black screen. I also tried F2, F12 and drive recovery. Nothing happens!

  Any recommendation?

  Hey,.

  It seems that something was wrong during the update of the BIOS and so that you can t the computer unbootable. But I put t understand why you did the BIOS update. If everything works correctly, you can forget about this update. More if you do a BIOS update you shouldn't t run any other updates or programs that might affect the update of the BIOS.

  Anyway, in this case you can do nothing and you need professional help. Please contact an authorized service provider and guys can help you update the ROM module On the Web from Toshiba site, you can find a list of all the FSA:

  Good luck! :)

• 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 L450 (PSLY0E) - a black screen after BIOS update

  It seems I have "brick" my phone during a bios utdate that went wrong... black screen as suspect: o.

  The laptop is a Toshiba satellite L450 (PSLY0E)
  The new bios image is named "bwaa150a.rom".

  Anyone know if it is possible to recover the bios of the flash or floppy drive, using a sort of toolfrom recovery inside the bios chip?... .or something?

  Anyone know who is the manufacturer of this bios?
  If I rename the bios image during a recovery, what 12xxxxx be named?

  To my knowledge, it is possible to reflash the EPROM module using the special procedure of crisis of the BIOS. But this crisis BIOS disk for Toshiba computers laptops isn't available for download.
  This must be done by authorized maker Toshiba.

  But I also read in the forum about those who tried some discs of crisis 3rd party BIOS.
  Sometimes it worked, but in most cases, you need advanced help technician.

  However, to use the forum search option advanced to search for similar topics on crisis disk BIOS. Otherwise, as I said above: you last chance might be the ASP.

  You have disconnected the display while you cleaned up the laptop?
  Are you sure that the display is connected correctly?
  Check the cable?

  > The laptop shows that read the hard drive and the processor works well.
  How do you know that? Flashing LED HDD?
  You know, it's not easy to say what may be the problem.

  You can also try testing with external monitor.

• Satellite P200-P100 - black screen after an update of Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P200-P100 running Windows 7.
  A few weeks ago after an update of Windows 7, my monitor would not show any image, that she lit up, but still no picture. Not even the BIOS it will appoint.

  I fixed it by using the system restore using a different monitor. The same thing happened again today, I must have ran the same update, but this time a system restore does not, any more than to reinstall Win 7.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You mean you don't see anything about internal or external monitor, even switching of the output of the screen by pressing the FN + F5 buttons?
  Hmm. in my opinion has nothing to do with the Windows 7 update

  I mean the update/install of Win 7 OS should not affect the BIOS and you should be able to access the BIOS, even if no operating system is installed on the HARD drive!
  So I guess the question could be linked to the question of the motherboard or some parts placed on the motherboard

  Have you tried that?
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
  Then wait a little (1 hour) and then reconnect the two parts.
  Then try to turn on the device

  If this will not help the RAM modules must be verified.

• Satellite L40 - 14 H - black screen after BIOS update

  Hello!

  I have laptop Satellite L40 - 14 H (PSL48E). I installed Windows XP, it worked fine, except the keypad is lit permanently so I couldn't enter a few symbols. I decided to install the special BIOS for WinXP, which downloaded from the Toshiba web site. The PSL48x model is in the support list. Change the windows flashing and reboot, I entered the BIOS to see what has changed. I saw nothing new, so I leave the WOOD and restart again.

  Since then, turns on the phone, but the screen is not, it is black :-(((
  Please help me, how can I save to live?
  Thank you, Eugene.

  Tried to connect it to an external monitor?
  If this does not help, you will need to go to a SPA to take a look at your machine.

• Re: Satellite L735-158 - black screen in BIOS update

  Hi all

  I have not found a solution to my problem anywhere, so I'll try here.
  I was going to update the Bios on a Satellite L735-158.
  I went to the Toshiba´s website, downloaded and follow the instructions... but the app. 15 seconds after double-clicking on the file of orders... some sort of sign of error came.

  The computer "locked" and then the screen is dead.
  When I turn on and off with the switch, I can clearly hear the computer works (although strangely), but the screen is dead.

  Can anyone here help?

  Thank you
  G

  Of course the EPROM module where the BIOS is stored was not flashed properly.
  Something went wrong during the update of the BIOS and the module is bad.
  I suppose that the update procedure using the special crisis disk BIOS help you solve the problem.

  But in most cases this procedure must be done by Toshiba ASP.

  Alternatively, you can search the forum for a few similar discussions on the crisis disk BIOS here.
  Some users where it is able to solve this problem by using some 3rd party disk but it doesn't always work.

  So is probably that you last chance to repair the ASP from Toshiba

  Hello

  You are able to access the BIOS?
  Try to access the BIOS settings by pressing the F2 key.
  Then try to put the BIOS back to the settings by default as I m not confused with the F9 key.
  Press F10 will record you changes

  Please try this and report the results
