Satellite A210-16F - BIOS update gone bad

Yes, the flash upgrade did not go with me as, like many I've seen. Weird that toshiba recommends a bios flash when you get the errors of installation win7 / vista, and have many fail.

I tried 3 versions of different bios of the internet, 2 from the site of toshiba (2.0 and 2.1, I thought) and alaa200a.rom.

When I do the disc of crisis with the crisdisk.bat (even do it in DOS) it copies all the files on the floppy disk, also tried different phflash versions. Older actually seem to load for 2 minutes, the most recent tend to charge for a few seconds then stops and starts loading again etc.

Needless to say that all my efforts with these bios have not paid off for a bit.

When I put the laptop normally and when I press the Fn key on the keyboard, the Fn actually lights up, but nothing else happens.

Anyone who would have an idea what to do, apart from buying a new bios chip?

Thanks in advance.

PS, I have a Satellite A210-16F PSAELE

Hello

I think that you have to contact the ASP (SAV) to reflash the Bios. The Bios failure topics discussed almost every day and no one can give a good solution and more communicating with ASP.

You can read an article that maybe can be useful for you:

  • Satellite Pro U400 - BIOS update gone bad

    Hi all!

    I've updated the BIOS on my laptop and something was wrong, just not now a computer screen.

    I went to see the Web for Chris Bios recover.
    Have over 20 versions, but so far without success.

    My biggest problem is: I can't save on floppy disk 2 MB BIOS. All attempts to create a
    Flash or SD ended in failure.

    The laptop is: Satellite pro U400 PSU45E

    Please help me... the laptop reads the floppy in BIOS with little experience (the ones that come with Chris Bios 500Ko - 1000 KB) begins with a normal boot beep signals supposedly provided a definition blocks then baar times short beep and nothing to do...
    There must be something... BIOS BACK small size, emulator USB... BIOS to be torn down, so it is possible in charge from USB, SD...

    Every idea can be useful!

    Thank you very much

    Hi mate

    Unfortunately if something was wrong during the update of the BIOS, then you won't be able to solve this problem without the help of a technician of the ASP

    I hope that the ROM BIOS module is not too bad
    In the worst case that the mobo is damage but maybe it s not damaged

    However. You must contact a local ASP and must ask for the manipulation of the Fryer!

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A210 - bios update gone bad

    Hi all

    I was updating of the Bios on my A210 when the laptop stopped yourself during the upgrade (possible overheating problem) and now it wont start at all as bios is lost.
    Any ideas how to get back there to wake up? There the reset on the M/B bios?

    Thank you

    Hello

    This can be corrected by a Toshiba service technician.
    It seems that add-on ROM BIOS was flashed incorrectly in this case that the Rom module must be flashed once more using the disc of crisis of the BIOS.
    As far as I know, you can download this disc. Only windows based BIOS is available for download so you need ASP support!

    Good luck

  • Satellite A210 - 17l BIos update to take care of advanced format HARD drive problem

    Hi all

    Really hoping someone can help me with this.

    My old HDD not was not so I cloned the entire disc before it failed. -Just in time, too.

    I ordered a new drive - it's a WD scorpio black - Advanced format.

    Unfortunately I can't get my picture on this new album.

    Also, I am unable to do a reinstall with the original restore also cd because it doesn't have service pack 1 and that means that it can't recognize the HD.

    In any case id prefer to be able to restore my image and not make a re-install when even if possible.

    So my question is this:

    Y at - it an update of the bios I can ask my another pc version 2.00 is available which will include options to change the options of ide drive - ahci?

    It's the only solution I can think of-bearing in mind I do not have an operating system installed, so the alignment tools are not an option as another fix. -Fast technology of storage Intel drivers do not work, because I have an AMD athlon processor.

    So is there any BIOS I can Flash my computer with to activate the options mentioned?

    I have a method to Flash the bios with a BONE, so this isn't a problem.

    Also other suggestions for workaround on this more than welcome.

    Thanks :))

    Hello

    Update BIOS don t help you. To my knowledge, it does not add additional options such as a switch between AHCI and compatible mode.
    In addition, you can use ANY BIOS. You must use the BIOS that came out for the model of laptop. But as I said, this isn't a solution.

    In addition, the image of Toshiba already contains all the drivers in order to install the system. It s any SP1 isn t the image part.

    I guess you're talking about Vista OS, given that the laptop came with pre-installed Vista OS. http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/discontinued-products/Equium-A210-17I/

    I recommend you format the HARD drive first.
    Use a tool called Gparted. You can create a bootable USB key containing this tool.
    This allows to start Notepad in order to format the HARD drive.

  • Satellite A210-171 bios update procedure?

    Good afternoon.

    First post for me and it's like the title says, really.

    The procedure on the support pages ([http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm]) does not appear to cover my case. I downloaded the package to update the bios twice now, but although method 1 seems closest to you, there is that there is no file "BIOS" (Windows batch file) (BIOS.bat). in the package. I'm a little confused and reluctant to move forward without knowing exactly what to do, only too aware of the consequences of being wrong!

    All boards who are authorities on what to do would be welcome.

    Thank you.

  • Downgrade from Vista to XP for Satellite A210-16F PSAEL

    Other users of laptops from Toshiba greetings

    I come to you with what I noticed to be a fairly frequent problem for users of Satellite A2xx - downgrade from Windows Vista to XP.

    I am owner of a 2 - day old of a Toshiba Satellite A210 - 16F PSAEL (AMD processor) and Vista Home Premium crashes on me during the installation of an application. So I searched the forum and found a full list of the XP drivers for the series equipped with AMD (my thanks for people who have set up their discoveries). I also found a guide to downgrade to XP, but it was the Intel-based and intended for users A200.

    My question would be if there is such a guide out there for the A210 series, the AMD-based or could someone please indicate the steps to follow for the downgrade.

    Thanks in advance

    Interested, too, that's why push this thread a little, aka a friendly BUMP ;)

  • Satellite A210-16f: no divers for don't Win 7 64 bit

    Hello.

    I have Toshiba Satellite a210-16f. I install Windows 7 64 bit but not have the drivers...

    How can I get the drivers for Windows 7 64-bit?

    Hello

    You can use the drivers released for other series of mobile phones that support Win 7.
    LAN, WLan, BT, driver sound driver touchpad are model independent and should work on you A210 too.

    Also I recommend that you install VAP (value added package) and Flash Card Utility for Win 7 Support. You can find it in Satellite L500 for example.

    I installed Win 7 on my A210 and everything works fine.

  • Irregularly beep on Satellite A210-16f

    Hi, I would like to ask the following question:

    I have Toshiba Satellite A210-16f (since October 2007).
    I have irregular short beep (ca 1 sec) coming out of the right side of my laptop (near right speaker, key DELETE or DC in...).

    I hear it very irregularly - sometimes twice a day, sometimes once in two weeks.

    Does anyone know what is it?
    Thank you.

    To be honest, this question is unclear to me. If person not the posts here this topic I recommend you contact the partner of service authorized in your country. Call and ask if something like this is known or not.

  • Sometimes the Satellite A210-16F cannot turn off

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A210-16F and it won't turn off sometimes.
    Happens to the window "Stop", but it wont close and stays like that until what I stopped it manually by holding the POWER button.

    What could be a reason for this problem?

    Sometimes I can't stop my laptop or closing procedure crashes as impossible to close some of the processes that are running in the background automatically.

    In my case, sometimes it software Adobe acrobat reader crashes and I have to manually close this process (in the Task Manager).

    In most cases, the operating system cleaning can help I use the program known. CCleaner. It s free and you can clean the system and the registry.
    There are also other applications that could do the job so but I m satisfied with this program.

    Maybe this will help you too

  • Satellite A210 FS3, PSAFGC-FS308C. BIOS update gone wrong.

    Hi all

    I'm looking for info on my laptop satellite who died after a bios update.

    Model is A210-FS3 (PSAFGC-FS308C)... bios uncertain.

    I updated this laptop about 6 months ago (been dormant since) through windows7 beta (I know bad idea)... after he stop it came back never to life... He does not POST... Power light just blinks.

    Is there a way to fix this without having to replace the motherboard? I read how to do this with a USB floppy, but it seems sketcky to me.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I think that the replacement of the motherboard is not necessary (in most cases).
    Maybe the ROM module has been flashed properly.
    In this case, the BIOS has to be flashed using the crisis procedure but as far as I know, this can be done by an ASP.

    I found this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=48845

    The guy managed to reflash the BIOS again. But once again, it s a sensitive procedure and usually an ASP must be contacted for a solution.
