Satellite A200 - BIOS update fails on a blue screen

Hello

I spent from Vista to XP. All works not well I read on this forum on the wire of Vetko, that members "pinteno" has managed to update its BIOS for XP.

Please inform what files it uses and how it update its BIOS. I have the BIOS to version 1.40 on my machine. When I try to update with the utility setup.exe (BIOS version 1.6), it goes all the way to new BIOS, then the machine is blocked with a blue screen. I have to remove the battery to turn off the power of the machine to restart.

Can anyone help please? I installed all the drivers for XP, but the machine is not allowed. Not good, paved touch both although wrong keys Fn...

Hello

Usually, there are different Satellite A200 series.
Please do not forget that you have chosen the right BIOS for the series on the right!

By the way; the incorrect BIOS or an incorrect BIOS procedure may damage the ROM module and the motherboard.
The BSOD is unusual during the update of the BIOS and I hope you didn t damage the laptop.

    Hello

    No you can not lose any information, but in your case I would check for a more RECENT for your system BIOS version because there are some discussions were that other users had the same problem.

    A user reported that a NEWER version has been released and the problem has been resolved, but you should check for it here:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    Otherwise, it would be necessary to set the machine to an authorized service partner. If you need a link to find the one closest to your country:

  • Satellite A200 - BIOS update and fan activity

    Hello..

    I have the Satellite A200-1AH (PSAE6E). I have installed the version of the BIOS 2.10 update and electric fans started working out loud. I want to install v1.30 BIOS (the best for me) but I can't find it anywhere. Can you help me please?

    I noticed that Toshiba has updated versions of BIOS 4 times in 4 months. So does that mean? I want to have the mobile rear silencer

    I guess the Toshiba engineers have changed some values in the new BIOS update and thereby you have noticed this problem of fan. I think they have a few reasons for this.

    If you want to have the old version of the BIOS, you should try to contact authorized service provider in your country. They should have.

  • Satellite L750 - BIOS update failed with error check

    Hello

    Update the BIOS to the L750 failled with an ERROR "CHECK". I downloaded the update to the BIOS again and got the same error.

    I wanted to submit a support ticket to do support technical namely that the BIOS update does not work, but low and behold, the creator of support ticket does not accept my model number/number combination.

    Thus, apart from picking up the phone, how can I get a message to Toshiba?

    See you soon

    Hey Buddy,

    May I ask why you are trying to update the BIOS? Do you have questions?

    As you probably know updated BIOS is always somewhat risky because it rewrites the ROM module and if anything goes not the ROM module can be destroyed and you are not able to start the computer. So this update should be made only if you have problems with the computer, otherwise forget it please.

    Remember: never touch a running system! ;)

    Feeling very stupid, as I have several years of experience in IT and, in trying to fix N500 machine to a customer, I downloaded the drivers wrong (impossible to find the network drivers for the N500 at all online that was the problem) for the G530 (4446 MT only) and proceeded to Flash BIOS N500 with bad update.

    The update of the BIOS?

    Hello

    Load default settings in the BIOS before you start the update?

    If you update the BIOS make sure you are logged in as administrator and unzip all files from zip archive before you start the update.
    Close all running programs, also the firewall and antivirus and try to update again.

    By the way: why you want to update the BIOS? Is this really necessary?

  • Satellite L755-S5349 - BIOS update failed - black screen

    Hello.

    So yesterday, I got a Toshiba pop-up message to update my BIOS, so I clicked it and it started to update but then it says "error checking".

    So I closed it, cause I had to restart my computer after one previous update with another program and I thought to try to update the BIOS after you restart.

    But once it restarted it is off, so I tried to put back market but the screen is black, lights are immediately (food, batt etc.) and the fan works just as well. I tried to take the battery out and in again but screen remains black.

    Could someone please tell me what you think it might be and what I have to do.

    I also tried with a HDMI, but it does not recognize.

    Thank you for your help

    Hello

    I think I have bad news for you.
    To me, it seems that the update of the BIOS didn't
    Why? Who knows maybe that some applications that runs in the background affected the BIOS update process.

    I've updated the BIOS on my laptop last night, everything went well. First, I downloaded the BIOS package from the Toshiba page. Then I unzipped the folder.
    I closed all applications that looked like Firewall, antivirus etc software
    Then I did the BIOS update

    At least in cases where the BIOS update failed, you must get in touch with a local ASP Toshiba in order to solve this problem in the best of cases they need to update the module ROM again

    Good luck

  • BIOS update failed - Dell Precision M4600

    I just got a used M4600 and the currently installed bios is A08. When I try to update to A16, it restarts, said it is updating the firmware, but fails at 0%. It gives no reason and no code error I can say. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

    Is NOT the issue! There is nothing wrong with motherboards M4600 se.

    Everyone tried to find why when you attempt an upgrade of the BIOS, the system fails immediately with a "BIOS Update Failed" basis and any specific error code or more explanations. The answer is in the PDF below--that is the message displayed when the BIOS authentication will fail!

    Just look for the Firmware Signature Dell's "feature" that was introduced in a number of laptop including the M4600.  Doc PDF to download. It is a feature introduced by the NIST requirements.

    In a Word, they changed the way BIOS authenticates a BIOS file before he will use it to update the firmware BIOS & CBS. The M4600 is in the list of "Legacy Systems", where it was introduced. Basically, these systems do NOT have the Firmware of Signature When produced.

    Version A04 introduced this feature. After you have that installed, you will have an option to activate the requirement of Signature of the Firmware (default is). Once activated, it cannot be disabled!

    The problem starts in worm BIOS A08. Something in the code is wrong. Because on some M4600s, it updates the BIOS AND activates the requirement of Signature of the Firmware. After that, the system will authenticate ALL the other versions of the BIOS, so you will NOT be able to upgrade past version 8!

    I got many, many systems for a company. I'm currently sitting on 33 (Yes, that many) M4600 with this exact same situation!

    An exchange of motherboard does not correct the problem. It is to give you a new BIOS chip to tinker with.

  • Vostro 3500 BIOS update failed - need recovery procedure

    I got a Vostro 3500 laptop computer work and was doing maintenance to update. I downloaded and installed the BIOS update recommended for this laptop... Dell Vostro 3500 system BIOS 3500 has 12. EXE | Release date of BIOS of Windows/DOS (3 MB) 21/07/2014 updated 21/07/2014 recommended BIOS update failed and left no work of BIOS of the computer. F2 is dead. It will not start. I am sure that there a backup BIOS or primitive still, as when I start the machine without battery and power, using the end key he's constantly trying to read the data from a 2 GB flash drive. I guess he wants to reload the BIOS from a file. I know how to get the ROM content from the file above using the /writeromfile parameter. The big question is, what type of file the 3500 wants to read, and what is the name of the file it is seeking? Is the flash player must be bootable? What is a FRIEND or a Phoenix BIOS? Can someone please? Thanks, Terry

    Here's how to recover a flash update BIOS of your laptop Vostro 3500 failure...

    1. download the Dell BIOS update .exe file to a USB flash drive.

    2. run the .exe with the /writehdrfile parameter file

    3. run the .exe with the /writeromfile parameter file

    4. copy the .hdr winery50.hdr

    5. remove the battery and the power of the dead computer

    6 Insert the flash drive into the USB port on the computer of the death

    7 press and hold the end key and then connect the AC power

    8 dead computer reads USB flash and request if the update should be performed

    9. let the update at the end and then restart.

    10. computer now works normally.

  • Satellite A200-1BQ - BIOS update failed

    Hello everyone

    I update the BIOS of my laptop and something went wrong: () now my laptop does not turn on the screen.

    I went to see on the web about Cree Bios recover. I created my floppy drive and I am using a USB drive connected to the USB port on the right below.

    When I click FN + B laptop computer goes into mode of recovery and is 40 seconds for the disc I wait 10 minutes turn off the laptop and nothing (still dead: ())
    I downloaded the bios.wph tohsiba site for this laptop.

    The laptop is a: Satellite A200-1BQ. Part number: PSAECE-01V011PT

    Please help me... the phone reads the disk but then does nothing... must be something failed... have used the phlash.ini but do not...
    Thank you very much

    Hi fear_angel,

    Well, I think in this case you can do anything and I would not try this BIOS recovery program. There is no formal way and you could destroy most or the entire module ROM.

    You must contact an authorized assistance service provider. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module I'm sure they will help you as much as possible.

    Good luck! :)
