• Satellite A210-16f - after the BIOS update pops up a window with password

  Hello

  I tried to update the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite A210. I downloaded an update from the official site of Toshiba, and then I did everything according to the instructions.
  I've updated the BIOS under Windows.
  Update at the end, a massage "updated successfully" appeared and I just need turn on the computer again.
  So I did, and there was a problem.

  When I turn on my computer now, it shows me a blue window with a password. I don't know password.
  Maybe you know how to disable the password or you know some passwords for Toshiba which corresponding?

  Toshiba doesn t have a sort of universal password, and unfortunately, no one here can help you with this problem.
  I just hope that you have downloaded the good BIOS upgrade for your laptop model.

  The password can be removed by the Toshiba service provider. They can do it in 15 minutes.
  Sorry, but buddy I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about it.

• Satellite A210 - 10 c unsuccessful Bios Update

  Hi guys.

  I was updating my Bios, and the computer has stopped responding.
  After a few moments, I decided to force the closure downwards, by removing the power cable and removing the battery also.

  After that the computer never restarted.
  Well, let me explain:

  Start the computer, but only the fan from the power supply. The HARD drive works, because I can feel the rotation of the disc and the drive opens and closes.
  The screen remains black, not even from the beginning of Toshiba.
  I tried to plug in an external monitor (CRT), but nothing happens.
  Also tried to boot the USB PEN, but it is not hired PEN.

  Can someone help me on this one?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Seems that something wrong is is spent during the BIOS updated s not possible to say what happened, but in most cases the module ROM was not flashed properly and this could be the reason why the machine does not start.

  I think that you will need assistance from technicians Toshiba ASP technician could flash the ROM module using the crisis disk BIOS

• BIOS update gone wrong on a Satellite L30 - 105

  Hey.

  I recently wantet to do an update of the Bios on my laptop and at halfway through there is an error and the down closet... I clubroot working on Notepad and then later rebootet and nothing happened. Just a black with a - flashing to the top in the left corner of the screen. My guess is that the Bios is messed up and need to be reset... But I don't know where is the battery on the laptop or if it would even help take this exit for a few seconds as it would be on a desktop computer. Suggestions other then send it in. then I must be without a computer for at least 3 weeks :D

  You have no chance to solve this problem at home, you need professional help. After a bad update you can just reset the BIOS. Remove the battery will not solve your problem, it only works if the BIOS is not damaged.

• Pavilion p7-1040nl: the BIOS update gone wrong; PC does not start.

  Hi, I tried to update my BIOS yesterday, but in the middle of doing so, there was a short cut (what are the chances right?). If the update is not good. And now my pc won't start at all. At the beginning until you get 8 beeps, the hard drive of fans, etc. seem to start, but there is NO video signal and the pc does not continue to start. So I can't even in the BIOS menu, because the monitor remains in sleepmode.
  I tried all the fixes I have found here and on other sites without success. Do you have the cmos pass the thing, disconnected all the pieces one by one, tried to boot with the USB with the BIOS on this subject, but still nothing.
  Does anyone know what anyone else I can try? Or should I accept that my pc is over?

  Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Have you tried clearing the COMS as in the instaructions on the document next to the motherboard web?

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02668523

  I recommend to remove the CMOS battery while the cmos clear. Hold the power button for five seconds while the rider is on the position unequivocally @.

  If it does not, then it's time for a new source desktop PC.

• 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:

• Dead by Satellite A500-1pj after involuntary Bios Update

  Hello world

  A friend of mine bought a new PC laptop toshiba Satellite A500-1pj a month ago. Windows 7 pro 64-bit pre-installed.
  Also preinstalled: support software toshiba who - correctly - configured search automatically and installs updates and critical fixes.

  Last Sunday this wonderful software recommended an update 'critical' to my friend - she's no expert but a user experienced who can make the difference between an update of the bios (and avoid this!) and a security patch, she agreed to download and install what she believed to be a security update.

  Sure, she gave permission to an update of the bios being installed. During the process of updating the machine froze completely. She waited for three hours and then pulled the plug. Guess what: the machine is now completely gone. Does not display without fan, simply nothing.

  Hotline support Toshiba told him that his cell two weeks old is not under warranty because this warranty does not cover software 'problems and the Bios updates are software upgrades.

  The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...

  My questions:

  (1) the laptop is a Satellite A500-1pj (PSAR9E-01M00QGR) fitted to a phoenix UEFI bios (bios toshiba/phoenix, 1.1.26 update tool is pretty radical - no warning at all! he tried to update me my computer dell laptop, lucky!).
  I found some posts on older machines that can be reflashed using a usb disk, hot spare bios back and a combination of keys (Fn + B or Fn + F...). is it possible to do this with a UEFI bios too?

  (2) anyone out there have the same problem?

  (3) any chance of toshiba help us with that issue and prevent others from making the same mistake to understand at least a warning in their bios updates?

  Thanks for your help!

  Tony

  > The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...
  I doubt that
  I think that the module ROM BIOS was flashed incorrectly (don't know why) and therefore you can not start the laptop.
  This can happen for different reasons, maybe that the update process was interrupted due to a process running in the background, etc.

  In order to solve this problem, the ROM module must be flashed again using a special crisis disk BIOS... that's all.

  The update of the BIOS is always a sensitive procedure but if everything was done correctly, then update the BIOS must successfully complete.

  I found this very interesting and useful to Toshiba and HowTo doc correctly updated the BIOS!

• Re: Satellite A210 dead after that BIOS crashed

  Someone please help!

  During BIOS update computer laptop (toshiba satellite a210) spontaneously restarted.
  As the record on the controller was not performed (if I understand correctly) is now a laptop is not included.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hi mate

  I m afraid. I have bad news for you.
  The laptop needs a help of ASP.
  The module ROM BIOS has to be flashed again and this can be done by ASP in your country. The technician would use a disc of crisis of BIOS that allows to get the laptop back to life.

• Satellite Pro P200-15W: after Bios Update 1.90 incredibly noisy fan

  Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200-15W, I recently made an update to BIOS version 1.9 and seems to have been a big mistake.
  After restarting the computer, I had a lot of software deconfig and the fan has become incredibly noisy.

  I have the problem with the Toshiba Vista registration software, I get this message: "registration of Vista has stopped working". I read other discussions, I don't want to just disable it in the start.ini file, I would actually solve the problem if there is a way.

  Is there a way to change the configuration of fans? I read a post from Toshiba on another model of laptop that has had the same problem of noisy fans after an update of the BIOS, they gave that a solution with a new version of the BIOS, is there a way to reverse the BIOS to the previous version? (recovery CD will be useful for this purpose)?

  See you soon

  Edgard

  Hello

  It seems that the picture of the fan was changed and renewed in the new version of BIOS, and so fans run fall.
  Why the table fan has been changed?

  Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve the reduction of the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with maximum performance.
  This helps to prevent the equipment from damage!

  Usually, the recovery CD formats the whole HARD drive (partitions too) and installs only the image of Toshiba on the notebooks of HARD drive.
  The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
  But you can try to recover the laptop to see if you can solve the problems of software as "Vista record"!

  If you want to reverse the BIOS, you will need to contact the ASP in your country!

  Sorry, but all I can suggest.

  Best regards

• Satellite C855 - white screen after BIOS update

  Hello

  I am a beginner user,
  I have Satellite C855
  Yesterday, I downloaded a 'update BIOS"that was sent to my computer.
  Since that my screen is blank, there is a hum in the background.

  I have a recovery back up on my external hard drive, but of course, the screen is blank so I don't know how the product.

  I think I must have downloaded a model or the update was not compatible.

  Hello

  White screen do you mean that nothing appears on the screen?
  You see the start screen of Toshiba, or if you are able to access the BIOS?

  Where this is not possible, try this:
  Disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery.
  Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds.
  Then connect the two parts (batteries and AC adapter) for the laptop and try to turn on the unit.

  In case this would not solve the problem of the laptop, I'm scared of m the BIOS update was not completed successfully and I think that only authorized Toshiba service provider would be able to help you.

• Satellite C650 - black screen after BIOS update

  My Satellite C650 Windows 7 - won't start afte BIOS update / switch.

  Everything worked very well until the automatic update of Toshiba asked me to download and install the new BIOS update, I did. At the same session Windows and McAfee asked updated. I agreed to all. After all updates have been installed, turns off. The next day when I walk, I see only black screen. I also tried F2, F12 and drive recovery. Nothing happens!

  Any recommendation?

  Hey,.

  It seems that something was wrong during the update of the BIOS and so that you can t the computer unbootable. But I put t understand why you did the BIOS update. If everything works correctly, you can forget about this update. More if you do a BIOS update you shouldn't t run any other updates or programs that might affect the update of the BIOS.

  Anyway, in this case you can do nothing and you need professional help. Please contact an authorized service provider and guys can help you update the ROM module On the Web from Toshiba site, you can find a list of all the FSA:

• Satellite P200D-137 - suspected of BIOS update failure

  Hello

  My friend asked me to watch his old Satellite P200D of 2 days. He decides to perform the recommended Toshiba updates, after leaving the machine (plugged) and return after about an hour, he was off.

  Now switch on the machine causes a black screen with just the hard drive, fans and dvd burner, turning the power on. This being the case, I feel, it was a BIOS update he did this failed. Is it possible to recover from this at all?

  Thank you

  You know with certainty that it was done. If the BIOS update is screwed up, it can be problematic, and I'm afraid there is nothing you can do alone and without service.

• Satellite M40 - question on the BIOS update

  Hello

  I need to update my BIOS to be able to use a new stick of ram to 2 GB. Unfortunately I can't find an update of the specific BIOS on Toshiba website for the 265 M40, WXP with ATI graphics card.
  Which one should I install? M70, M100, 3.00, or 1.70, psm01, psm02...?

  Thank you

  Satellite M40 can grow up to 2 GB of RAM, and to do that you need BIOS update memory vivid but compatible modules.
  Toshiba recommended 2 PC2700 X 1024 MB (PA3313U-2M1G).

  What 2 GB module you want to use?

  That's all!

  What is the number of short model of your laptop? usually, you can find it on the underside of the laptop.

  > the screen goes black and the pc restarts

  Theoretically, bad Os. or hardware problem may cause reboots in the round. Overheating can also make the Cpu and other parts on the overheating of the system mobo and it restarts.
