• Satellite A200 PSAE3E: what the Bios update changes

  Someone can't tell me what efect will be a ubdate Bios on my laptop.
  This update can not damage the laptop?

  This update is a risk?
  P.S.: I use Windows Xp SP2, Vista not.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The update of the BIOS is only risky If you would use incompatible BIOS or use a wrong update procedure.

  If you have installed XP on your computer A200 laptop then a BIOS upgrade to the XP version would be desirable because of one of the main reasons.
  Without the version of BIOS XP your FN buttons will not work.

  So if you want to use the FN keys, the update of the BIOS XP is not necessary.
  But if you want to use the FN keys, you will need to update the BIOS to the XP version.

• Satellite A210 - update the BIOS didn't

  Hello

  Just tried to update the BIOS on my Equium A210, everything went well until the closing and restarting (which failed).
  He left me with a black screen and an orange to power lights, no back to zero and I only can we get rid of the orange light if I remove the battery.
  OK, what I'm doing now?... is this repairable?

  See you soon

  > OK, what do I do now?... is this repairable?
  Yes and no.

  You can't fix this, but the ASP technician can do that.
  Therefore, you will need to contact the ASP in your country, to solve this
  The technician would be able to Flash the ROM module and I think this should help you.

• Satellite L505 - update the BIOS didn't

  Indicated by the TEMPRO software that came with my laptop L505 (1.5 months) I've updated the BIOS version but to halfway the process order and fan running at high speed and nothing more. After an hour, the only option that had left me was to unplug the power and remove the battery. The laptop does not now anthing and refuses to start. I guess that the BIOS should be reset.

  Who can advise me what to do?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Oh, that s not good news, Buddy :(

  I think you have only the possibility at the moment and it's authorized service provider. Technicians may try to reflash the ROM module but if all goes well it s not completely destroyed now.

  If you n t know where is the nearest ASP you can search on the Toshiba site for them. Call them and they will tell you what to do now.

  Good luck! :)

  Why not? What are the risks in need to know.

  Hello Daniel,.

  I'm a little confused about your message from Mr.
  What do you mean with half of the bios is enough?
  What s wrong with the BIOS?

  The support from Toshiba said-> try a BIOS update.
  On the Toshiba page, you can download the BIOS for Satellite A40.

  It seems you didn't check the download page detailed because on this page you will find this statement:
  IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07

  The update of the BIOS has been detailed described in this document and that you follow these guidelines for the update of the BIOS.

• Satellite Pro A60 - update the BIOS without OS

  I have a Satellite Pro A60, trying to install XP pro but says he needs the BIOS update, downloaded the new update, unzipped and that one file, will not start until no bootable files.

  There is currently no OS on the laptop, I understand that I need an ISO file but where is she... !...

  Hello

  Why you need to update the BIOS?
  I doubt that XP installation says that you need to update.

  Normally the update of the BIOS is a bit risky and must be that if she of really necessary. In addition the update of the BIOS can only be done from Windows. There is no DOS version, they available only authorized for service providers.

  2. put the floppy in the computer
  3. turn on the device with the F12 key

  Hello

  Can I ask why you want to update the BIOS?
  You have problems?
  If the laptop works well the update of the BIOS is not necessary! My laptop is about 6 years old and I have no day BIOS!

  However, I think that you didn't use the right update procedure.
  Please check this document before starting the BIOS update:

  2. step:
  Turn off the machine, turn it on by now pressed the F12 key
  and choose to boot from the diskette.
  For more recent machines, press the ALT key and the SPACEBAR
  The rest is automatic.

• Satellite P100: After updating the BIOS 3.8 I can't access MCE pressing enter

  Hello!

  I was able to enter XP MCE by pressing the Enter key when the Welcome screen. Now I cannot and must click on the photo of the small image. Is it because of 3.8 BIOS that I put in place recently or not? Can I do this option still works? Thank you very much.

  Hello

  I put t know if you can restore this option but you should access the BIOS and try to define again the default settings t.
  Don t forget to save the settings if you exit BIOS ;)

  But I really don't understand why you have updated the BIOS. If the laptop is running without any problems a BIOS update is not necessary!
  Therefore, never change a system up and running, you know? ;)

  Besides as I know the P100 were not delivered with Microsoft XP MCE but with XP Home and Express Media Player or Vista

• Satellite M100 - update the BIOS didn't

  Hey people,

  during BIOS update my laptop freezes, so need to reflash it.
  put into service in crisis recovery mode, it's ONE LONG and TWO SHORT SIGNALS.

  WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

  Hey Buddy,

  If failure of the BIOS update, you can expect anything to contact an authorized service provider and ask for help. I assumed that the ROM module must be reflashed and this can be done with special tools if you need professional help.

  In your case I wouldn t try these BIOS recovery tools, you could destroy the entire module ROM.

  So, get in touch with your ASP local and ask for help. I'm sure the guys can help you. :)

• Satellite A200 - cannot downgrade the BIOS to v2.40

  Please help me.

  I bought a brand new toshiba Satellite A200 series laptop with vista home premimum inside.

  For some reason, I'm not a fan of big vista.
  So I lowered my XP OS and as I was looking for pilots and all this for XP I saw an update of the Bios for my laptop it's 5.20 which was for XP. Although for Vista its 2.40 as per mentioned on the Web site.

  Now where my problems began.
  I downloaded this v5.20 bios and updated.
  Soon the problems began as laptop is overheated, it freezes and sometimes refuse to give performance.

  As I was unable to find all my drivers for XP I switched to Vista using my recovery DVDs. But the problem remains the same with Vista too, so finally, I took my laptop to a Toshiba Service Center.

  They have said that it is a motherboard problem so they fixed, but they have not set the Bios.
  I still v5.20 on my machine.

  I tried to go down to v2.40 but it always shows an error.

  Can someone help me pls... I am able to boot with a USB but I don't have a version of DOS of Bios v2.40.

  Please if anyone can provide me with my version of the bios.
  I'll be grateful to her for ever.

  Here are my system specs.

  Date 2009-01-26 03:04:19

  [Information on PC]
  Model name Satellite A200
  Part number PSAFCL-01M00P

  Not even this when I buyed the laptop he showed me 749 something like a shared graphics memory now it shows only about 399.

  I know that it is simply because of this update of the Bios.
  Now I am not yet able to play good games.
  This machine is almost useless for me now.

  No help from you people will get.

  I put t know why you want to downgrade the BIOS.
  Have you read the information on the site of Toshiba for BIOS version 5.20? I created this:
  > Support Windows XP and Vista OS

  So I think that you should not downgrade the BIOS. The most recent BIOS 5.20 is for Windows XP and Vista.
  You can find this information on Toshiba Asia because you have the model of Asia (not Europe):
  http://www.PC.Toshiba-Asia.com =>
  Update BIOS version 5.20 Satellite A200 (for the PSAF0-* & PSAFC *-* ONLY)

  The Toshiba Service Center did a good job with the latest BIOS.

• Satellite A200 - I forgot the BIOS password

  I have a TOSHIBA SATELLITE A200 model that I brought on Dec 2007.
  I forgot the password I gave to the BIOS, and so far, of mar16th, I am unable to go in,

  I tried to fix it through centres of local services to Chennai and Tirunelveli, but could not get the success.
  I have also filed a complaint with TOSHIBA Service Center and went to TASHIBA in Chennai service center, and they said:

  (1) remove the BIOS chip could help, but it didn't
  (2) motherboard must be changed.

  In fact, I set password BIOS and of POWERON the same thing, then...
  Is there a way to remove the BIOS/POWERON password?

  The details of my laptop are
  Model: PSAFCL-01M00P

  Hello

  I wonder why the ASP in your country could not remove this password.
  Usually, the unknown password can be removed only by technician ASP.
  You will not be able to remove it!

  You need the help of the ASP!

• Satellite Pro U500 - update the BIOS does not start on Windows 7

  Try to update BIOS on Satellite Pro U500 PSU9CA. The download site says there is a new version available, after that download and run the program nothing happens. You can see the Winflash process in the Task Manager but it never appears"". If this has yet been tested by Toshiba?

  There are no instructions, no readme or whatever it is.

  Did somebody get the BIOS update?

  Hi torana.

  As far as I know Toshiba always test their drivers or updates tools before they will be released and I have never had a problem with the new updates, so I think that the problem is lreated to your laptop, maybe something wrong with your installation.

  In General before you start the update of the BIOS you have to decompress all the files in archive zip and launch the update as an administrator.
  Also make sure that the value added package is installed and no firewall is not blocking the update program.

• Satellite A215-S4817 - update the BIOS

  Hi, I'm trying to find the update of the BIOS for a Satellite A215-S4817. I tried several BIOS updates for numbers of similar but not exact model without success.

  In addition, this Web of Toshiba site does not recognize my serial number, and it cannot complete the application auto-defaut either. Maybe I have a more serious problem? The real problem is that my laptop will crash occasionally (screen goes completely black), but a hard restart to fix it. I was told I need to update BIOS, but maybe I need something different.

  Thanks for your help!

• Satellite C660D - after updating the BIOS, WiFi no longer works

  Hello

  -J' installed from the toshiba Web site, the driver "realtek_wlan_win7_2000016L_20110523".
  -I turned down my anti-virus and firewall
  -J' tried a system restore on the eve of the update of the bios, but it did not because of a virus while it was off.

  The wi - fi card is always displayed in the Panel of the unit, and it is said in the work.
  The wi - fi network works on another computer or smartphone, so the problem comes from this computer.
