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 A200 PSE3E stops after the connection

    Hello

    Very often, when I restart my laptop and after typing my password user, the screen goes black and the system stops the loading of windows.
    I can access the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete, but I can't make it go.
    And then, without doing anything, if I restart (once a day, sometimes two or three times), it works again.

    It's very strange.

    I read that I should update the BIOS and the video card, but the problem is not solved yet. What can I do?

    Greetings

    Yes, it's very strange.

    Did you do a restore with the recovery disk? It could also be that a problem with Windows and a reinstall would solve this problem.

    Otherwise, I have no more idea because you did an update of the BIOS.

    SORRY FOR MY POOR EANGLISH

    Hello

    It s a shame hear that mate!
    It seems that something was wrong during the update of the BIOS, and so the laptop won't turn on.
    I'm afraid that you can't do anything else as to contact the local ASP m!

    The local ASP technician must check the device and possibly it might update the BIOS using a special BIOS and the special procedure.

    Good luck buddy

    In this case you should enable the option in the system of Windows 8 settings

  • New W510, update the BIOS - black screen on startup - guaranteed?

    Hi all!

    I got a new W510 and decided to update the BIOS via the executable Windows 7 provided by Lenovo for their support-web. The program is run properly (all green checkmarks), the machine has been restarted and then stopped and started again - but she never stopped showing the "ThinkPad" screen POST. The machine started throwing his fans after some time and the machine felt hot enough it is up to the right. I waited a bit (say 4-5 minutes) if there was some additional BIOS update which took place, but nothing happened after a while, I decided to stop it. Now when I boot, the screen is all black.

    This will cover in the included warranty? It must be, right?

    Sorry for my late reply. As I think it is clear from my earlier post, there was still no way to load default BIOS that the screen went black as soon as I started the machine.

    Two days later from my first message I sent it in for repair. Almost 4 weeks after and TWO motheboards (first one was apparently DOA) later, the machine works now. As it seems, Lenovo had some problems for spare parts quickly enough because it took almost 2-3 weeks just to get the first map of mother (DOA).

    Anyway, even if it took some time, I can now enjoy my new machine

  • After the BIOS does not update Equium A100-147

    Can someone help me please?

    Updated my BIOS as recommended it using the windows tool! Everything went through fine, saved, verified and flashed the new version. After restarting auto as my laptop does not start before the Toshiba screen, press F12 and nothing, F2 and I just get PLEASE PATIENTER. Guess I didn't try Visa or in fact any OS now.

    Why oh why I did it? Everything was fine before, but advises him to do for full compatibility. Do I need a new Board of directors or is there a key, I can press on to able me to boot from CD to reflash or return to old BIOS?

    Help, please!

    I always say: do not touch the system running well!

    Anyway, in your case, something goes wrong with the BIOS update and you need to go service authorized in your country. They can help you. Sorry but there is nothing that you can do it alone. The BIOS feature is a very sensitive matter and if the BIOS chip is faulty now you can do nothing to make it work again.

    I'm sorry. :(

  • Satellite A500 - 18 X - after windows sleep, black screen

    Hello

    I bought this laptop yesterday and I noticed this problem: when I SLEEP the laptop, and then it continues when I press the power button to turn on the laptop, the laptop turns on, but the screen lights - black... Thus, force close, holding down the power button...
    What could be the problem?

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    Have you tried to update the display driver?
    Isn't it? Well, I think you should do this because I read in the forum that similar issues would be resolved by the update of the display driver.

    It would also be desirable to have the latest version of the BIOS.
    Check the version of the BIOS and if the most recent BIOS is available then to update this!

    See you soon

  • Changes settings of the BIOS - black screen boot. [TravelMate P453-M]

    Laptop still under warranty.

    I recently had a motherboard and replace the HARD drive.

    I wanted to install Windows Me, but the BIOS has been defined in the UEFI, and I couldn't start on a USB key.

    So I turned on the heritage, booted from the USB and installed Windows very well.

    For some stupid reason, I went back to try to change the setting in the UEFI.

    Now the laptop turns on, but won't start. I get a black screen, no logo or any what guest to access the BIOS.

    I read a little and seems that I have to remove the BIOS battery, let the memory itself to reset the default BIOS settings and try again clear?

    If it's important, I re-installed Windows 7 64 bit.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Ah, I've solved the problem! Created a boot UEFI active USB key with a GPT partition, using the software of Rufus. And it started from it very well.

    Thank you, my Lord and Savior Google.

  • A series of satellite does not start after the BIOS update

    After update bios with the downloaded utility my laptop does not start.
    Do you have this case covered by the warranty?

    I'm not sure if this would be covered by the warranty. You must contact the ASP in your country for details, but I assume that it s not covered.

    PS: Did you try this work around:
    -remove the battery, disconnect the adapter
    -wait ~ 40 min
    -connect the two devices again and try to turn on the laptop

  • Satellite P100-240 starts after the BIOS update failed

    Hello, let me start by saying im a fool...

    Downloaded some drivers for my toshiba p100 240 and noticed there is a BIOS update, I downloaded and ran the program only so he can get to
    an error that it only will allow the administrator to run the program. My laptop has become slow and did not allow me to stop by all means. In the end, I took out the
    battery and rebooted to see a blank screen, no boot or anything on the screen.

    I'm afraid, I totally killed my machine and its about 4 months out of warranty, Im sure there is no cure miricle at low cost for this, but if someone can give me my options here I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks for your time,

    Martin.

    Hello martin

    Sorry to hear that. You're certainly not a fool and you are not the first and not the last with this bad experience. Unfortunately it doesn't have much to do. Contact the service provider authorized in your country as soon as possible. They will help you.

  • Satellite L650 doesn't work well after the BIOS 2.40 update

    Hello

    I have a L650 Psk1je yesterday, I updated my bios to 2.20 to 2.40 and since then my laptop does not work well
    can someone tell me please how to downgrade my bios to 2.20 again

    Thank you

    Downgrade BIOS can be done using only a traditional BIOS version
    These versions are not available for download.
    You can download only the latest BIOS based victory.

    But why do you say that it is not working properly?
    What s wrong?

  • 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.

    Check this box!

    I have a Satellite L300 1A 3 MODEL PSLB8E. I decided to update the version of the BIOS, thinking that he can resolve my issue of ethernet controller.

    But after the update, my laptop goes on infinite blue screen of death. How can I recover from this injury?

    Can someone please help.

    Hello

    Did you choose the good BIOS update for your model? Was it for Satellite L300 PSLB8E?

    What code you get BSOD?

    After the BIOS update you must always load the default settings. Maybe a bad BIOS setting is causing this BSOD.

    Hello

    Did you really choose the good BIOS for your laptop? Because on the Toshiba site Web are different models U400 has so you choose for PSU44E BIOS on Toshiba page?

    After the BIOS, you should load the default settings in the BIOS.
