Satellite A30-931 - what happens if the BIOS update will not?

I was recommended to make an update of the BIOS on the above machine. I think that the existing version is 1.30 and the correct replacement is 1.70 (I think it's PSA33E: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/eula/info_eng2.asp]).

The original BIOS has a password. Want to know what happens if this process goes wrong. My system will be unusable or is it a pre-installation of the backup procedure?

The additional problem is that the fan is happening every minute or so. The radiator looks clean, but maybe new thermal grease should be applied to the cpu.

Thank you

Hello

In the worst case if the update goes bad your computer doesn t boot. This means that you can only see a black screen and nothing you can do. In this case you would need professional assistance from an authorized service, they can reflash the ROM module or Exchange it.

But a few important points here before starting the update:
S ' ensure that you are logged on as administrator
-Disable your AntiVirus and your firewall
-Disconnect the Internet
-Close all running programs

> The additional problem is that the fan is happening every minute or so. The radiator looks clean, but maybe new thermal grease should be applied to the cpu.
Yes, maybe the thermal compound must be renewed if you already cleaned your laptop. After that, everything should work normally.

    I have a new Satellite A500 and want to update Bios. What happens if this process does not go?

    Thnks

    Hello

    I do not recommend to do a bios upgrade if your system works well. If the upgrade process go wrong your mobile doesn t boot more, and then you will need to contact
    TASP (Toshiba authorized service provider).
    Be sure to close all programs, disable antivirus, firewall.

    Need help please, I was updating of the bios. And the process is stopped at: 2/18. I wait an hour and i decided to turn off the laptop. Know I can't turn on. Nothing happens. Anyone know how the recovery mode?

    Thank you

    (Sorry for my bad English)

    Josefa Hello,

    It sounds as if you of the BIOS chip was damaged during the attempt to update failed, and unfortunately this will prevent you from starting your laptop so that you can tyr to redo the update.

    In my view, that it will be necessary to bring or send the laptop to a Toshiba authorized service agent who has the equipment necssary to re flash your BIOS chip.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite L450D - nothing else happens after the BIOS update

    Toshiba Bulletin Board recommended 1 new message. Downloaded updated BIOS available. Frozen computer during the update and what would not be it. Now, the computer is totally dead. Power light turns on when the connected external CAP but nothing else. I did follow the instructions specific to Toshiba. Pleas advise.

    Hey,.

    It of strange that the BIOS update gone wrong, because I already did several times and never had a problem did you run background applications they probably blocked the update?

    Anyway, what you can try is to remove the battery and the AC adapter / CC for a few hours. Then reconnect and try to boot up your laptop.

    In the worst cases the ROM module needs to be reflashed, but an authorized service provider can help you get rid of this problem. :)

  • Satellite L300-1 has 3 - after the BIOS update, I get a BSOD

    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.

  • Ports Satellite A135 - S2306 defective USB after the BIOS update.

    OK, I searched all over the internet and not found anyone else with this same problem, or anyone with a solution that worked for me.

    A few weeks ago, I had the common error of the BIOS reset itself and asking for a password at startup. I took my local Toshiba authorized repair center, and they have not taken care of him, no problem.

    Since the resume, however, all 4 of my USB ports have been going crazy. What happened in the following three steps (in order):
    -One of the ports does not work at all, won't provide any current or even recognize that nothing is connected.
    -The 3 remaining ports are now only recognized as USB 1.1 ports, not USB 2.0 as they were before.
    -Now, only a very small number of my devices is not at all, with three USB mouse and two unrecognized hard drives work (I get the error message "USB device not recognized" standard Windows when I connect them to one of the three ports).
    I am running Vista Home Basic (32 bit) with SP 2 and the new version of the BIOS is v1.60.

    Is this something people of repair caused when they have unlocked the BIOS and updated? Is this a problem with the new BIOS itself? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Let me know if I let him out any relevant information, I tried to be as complete as possible. Thank you!

    It is not easy to say. I think that would be best to ask guys why it happens or what they have done in the past.
    But have you set the default BIOS?
    Please do; access the BIOS (by pressing F2). Set it to default by pressing F9 (I guess) and save the changes. Restart the unit.
    Access the Device Manager, and then remove all hubs USB and commands from the list of devices. After that reboot the device again. Windows should recognize the devices deleted again.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - which improved after the BIOS update

    Hello users,.

    I just finished an update of the BIOS on Satellite Pro L300 using Updater Insyde Bios. I tried the Toshiba site to see what's new or what has improved since the update my bios 1.7version v2.2. But there is no search results. I also went to the site Web Insyde, but neither have they put up what has changed or improved?

    Is there a documentation or information which could help me to know how my laptop has improved or better after the update of the BIOS and what has changed since my update of the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I assume you mean a changelog of the BIOS. Well, normally this document is placed on the Toshiba page where you can download the BIOS update.

    If you can't find such a t changelog, there is no available changelog. All that s!

    In addition the BIOS update should be performed only if it of really necessary. This means that if everything works fine, I don't see a reason to update because this update is a bit risky.
