Satellite A200-1TD - gel during the update of the BIOS

• Satellite A200 (PSAE0C-AH308C) - after the BIOS black screen update

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite (model No. A200; Part No. PSAE0C - AH308C) and to install Windows XP on a version already corrupted Vista (which had 4 partitions, that have been corrected, erased, then reformatted in a solid block). Now, I have installed all the appropriate drivers off Toshiba Canada support site...

  Everything worked, but I wanted to see in Windows (since I just got this computer) if everything was in place and working normally until I installed Ubuntu... Then I did the update to the BIOS flash. The program is supported in two formats, one for Vista and one for XP... for XP has a more high at 5.20 and Vista BIOS version the 1.80 revision of BIOS... that are marked as being updated by the Toshiba site. I opted to download the latest version of the BIOS.

  Things got ugly as soon as I unzipped the self-extracting program. First of all he said he could not find a .dll file (even if it is clear from there), so that seemed as if it started to Flash the BIOS but has not finished (it was just what happened when I opened the program)... I think he got to the ROM of compensation but did not have any code in there... Windows attempted to close the program because he did not respond, and I tried to take the program... had the same .dll error, but this time, the screen of the program was just gray...

  Given that this program is not Flash the BIOS unless the user selects the button "Flash BIOS", I have reason to believe that it was a bug in the program, or a combination of it and Windows comes to interfere (no program were running at the time, while he was supposed to be a dedicated flash). I can only flash in the Win.

  Now, I rebooted the computer, twice... the screen turns black, the HARD disc spins, the DVD drive has done his usual clicking sound when the computer starts, but it seems to stop as there is no BIOS entact.

  Can I replace the BIOS chip? There is no way for me to access the BIOS at all.

  Thanks for any help on this

  Thank you & best regards

  Hello

  Unfortunately, the BIOS update has failed and now BIOS is damaged. For this reason, you cannot start and use your laptop. I agree with Luke. Please contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help. Talk with them and I am sure that you will find the best solution to this problem.

  Satellite A200 is quite long on the market and it is hard to believe that updating the BIOS on the Canadian page may have a bug. All updates are tested and used by millions of users and service providers. If there is something wrong, I do not believe that this update will be available on the page of public support.

  In any case, contact the nearest service provider and explain the situation. Believe me this is the best thing you can do now.

  Good luck!

• Satellite L450D PSLY5E freeze during the BIOS update - now does not turn on

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Satellite L450D. I recently tried (unfortunately) update the BIOS after a clean installation, because the FN key no longer working to bring up the toolbar.

  Winphlash program froze near the end and the system remained frozen for a good half-hour. The only way out was to remove the battery (as I know in any case).

  Now, the system will light with battery in or out and plugged in. I guess I've damaged the hard drive or the card mother or something.

  Is it possible to fix? Or is it?

  Thank you very much for your help.

  BTW - I know now not to update the BIOS unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary and well advised.

  Joey

  > I guess I've damaged the hard drive or the card mother or something.

  The disk HARD isn t damage but the Rom module where the BIOS is stored was not flashed properly.
  I guess that this happened because the flash procedure was interrupted.

  I'm not sure if this can be fixed perhaps the service guy could flash the ROM module with special disc of crisis of the BIOS.

  I keep fingers crossed

• Satellite 1900 203 stops during the bios update

  I downloaded the BIOS update for my Satellite 1900 203 and put it in the floppy drive. the problem is that when updating the computer suddenly stops.
  I think the problem is in the software, but I can't get a solution of it...

  Hello

  I would not recommend to download and install the BIOS on Toshiba Canada website!
  As far as I know your laptop was designed for the European market and you should always use the driver, BIOS of the Toshiba site European and tools!

  But I agree with dnf666. If the laptop works properly it s not necessary to update the BIOS!
  And note: the bad BIOS or bad BIOS can damage the module ROM!

  On the Toshiba page, you will find a teaching how BIOS should be updated on several models of laptops!

  And when I tried the BIOS update and load the new BIOS: ok

  If you are using 233 A100 PSAA8E-05J02ETE model laptop, you must use A100-PSAA8A very funny pilot...

  Hello

  I think that in this case you must go to an authorized service provider. If the laptop freeze during the BIOS update module ROM needs to be reflashed.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search nearest ASP and download all the drivers. Check this box:

• Satellite A200-1AE (PSAEC) - when the new update would be available

  Hello.

  I have Toshiba Satellite A200-1AE (PSAEC) and the latest BIOS is since 2007.

  Toshiba means update?

  I think that old "deserts" Toshiba series and that he cares only for new.

  Unacceptable

  Hi mate

  Why should Toshiba BIOS update?
  There's a problem with your laptop that should be solved by the BIOS updated?

  To be honest, I don't know if the new update of the BIOS would be available for an A200 but if something would not would be not wrong with the old BIOS Toshiba provide an update
  One of my friends has a laptop A200 and its working properly

• Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN

  Hello

  My Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN. The network driver is a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC I've been looking through this forum and found some wire whit exactly the same problem, saying that the solution is to update Realtek lan set up in BIOS, not the computer BIOS, but I can't find any link to download the necessary upgrade file. Can anyone tell me please where to find this upgrade file or send it to me directly?

  Thanks in advance

  Is - this transfer of data in the company where you work? Do you want to download data from the server, or how to understand this? How to understand what you mean under big data?

  Have you tried downloading data on the Internet? For example, if you try to download some trailer HD (more than 200 MB)?

• Re: Satellite Pro A200 - black screen after the BIOS screen

  Hello
  I'm new to the forum and have a big problem. So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

  My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor. Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.
  I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

  If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

• Satellite A100 PSAA8K stuck in the BIOS after that the BIOS is flashed

  Hi all

  I used the utility to update the BIOS of Toshiba on this machine. It was working fine before, now it is blocked with the Toshiba Startup logo. Pressing F2 or F12 don't work. Pressing ESC. Gives the following error. No TPM or TPM has problem. Everything else seems as usual. It shows the BIOS 6.00, which is what I had in theory flashed to.

  I guess the flash gone bad. Is there a disaster for this recovery procedure?

  Hi guys

  It seems really turned something went wrong during the BIOS update process.
  Perhaps a new module ROM BIOS flashing could solve this problem.

  The point is that you need a BIOS version of special rescue and the drive to reflash the module ROM.
  But only the authorized service provider has such special rescue tool and only the ASP technician can reflash the BIOS.

  So maybe it's not a real solution but a tip how to get a solution
  I would recommend so contact the ASP in your country for the control of the laptop and a reflash BIOS.

  Best regards & good luck

• Satellite A200 - 1 GB block during the bios update - will not turn on

  Need help please, I was updating of the bios. And the process is stopped at: 2/18. I wait an hour and i decided to turn off the laptop. Know I can't turn on. Nothing happens. Anyone know how the recovery mode?

  Thank you

  (Sorry for my bad English)

  Josefa Hello,

  It sounds as if you of the BIOS chip was damaged during the attempt to update failed, and unfortunately this will prevent you from starting your laptop so that you can tyr to redo the update.

  In my view, that it will be necessary to bring or send the laptop to a Toshiba authorized service agent who has the equipment necssary to re flash your BIOS chip.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A210-15Y crashed during the update of the bios

  The worst case has happened and the laptop computer crashed during an update of the bios. I know that there is the possibility to repait the bios with a tool of recovery from crisis. For this purpose you have to press 2 keys (in most cases FN + B or Win + B) during the connection of the supply cable and the next start. I tried many books, but nothing happened. Can someone tell me the keys on which I have to press a 210 - 15Y satellite and maybe where I can get an image of cd of the tool of the crisis, because the laptop does not have a floppydrive?

  Hello

  As far as I know that the BIOS crisis procedure may be crazy by a technician of the ASP.
  You can not download a version of traditional BIOS who can update the BIOS from a USB FDD floppy.
  You can download only focused on the victory of the BIOS that can be run so that windows operating system is running.

  In my opinion, you should get in touch with a local ASP!

• Satellite Pro L100 - Crash during the update of the Bios

  Hello

  I am the owner of a Satellite Pro L100 (PSLA4E)

  On the Toshiba site I downloaded the BIOS update. While installing I read that it was necessary to supply cable is plugged. Before I could cancel for the cable, he had started and then frozen. The computer stopped working and so I turned it off! Since then, I've read that it was a very big mistake!

  When put on the fan starts and I can hear etc cd drive spinning. After 15 seconds, the screen is blank, the computer starts beeping!
  Is there a way to solve this?

  Thank you very much
  Rich

  Hi Richard

  Seems not good buddy from your description, that something went wrong during the update procedure and now the ROM module has been flashed properly.

  Maybe you area lucky man and the motherboard isn't too bad, but only the Rom module must be flashed again.

  Unfortunately, this must be done by the technician of the ASP. You will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

  Good luck and have a nice day

• Satellite A200 BSOD would be the first time that I ever ran Win Update

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite Pro A200 running professional Vista that I bought on October 11, 2007. Win Update never ran the first time, had the laptop then BSOD. I recovered using the recovery CD, and since then, I've left Win Update turned off.

  Someone else with a similar machine did this happen to them?

  Does anyone know what causes this?

  What would be the Toshiba Support policy on this?

  Thank you all.

  What is the hex code of BSOD? (The number of 0x000000xx)

  I am looking this BSOD number to www.microsoft.com for a solution.

  Also update the BIOS of the laptop. An update of the BIOS can perform magic sometimes :)
