Satellite A30 - update BIOS cannot access bios and no light to full charge

Hello

Like a fool I upgraded my bios (to 1.80) for Satellite A30 (PSA30E). I've noticed two problems.

(a) during start-up I no longer get any what welcome screen and can not access the bios or boot from other devices - so if I want to boot from the CD now I can not - for example impossible to reinstall the operating system in the future

(b) the battery suddenly was not fully charged and constantly hangs on 99% (apparently)

(c) who knows what else could go wrong

I'd like to undo what I've done, but it does not seem possible. How the hell can I solve it, since clearly the update of the bios is incorrect. Find a bios update file earlier (and how to use it)? Can I fix it?

Someone at - it ideas?

Hello

First may to ask why you have updated the BIOS. If everything works, the update of the BIOS is not necessary.

OK, how have you tried to access the BIOS? Usually the F2 key must be pressed immediately after starting the laptop. You can try to press several times.

But you can start from STRANGE on different ways. You can press C button and the specifications will enable booting from the drive or you press F12 and you choose the STRANGE as a source of start-up.

I put t know why the power of the battery freezes at 99%, but you can try to remove the battery and wait several times. Then reconnect and check the status of the battery.

  • Satellite L750D - update BIOS 2.1 and its problem

    Hello

    I have little problem. I was downloaded from your website 2.1 BIOS for Toshiba Satellite L750D (PSK32E).

    I have been updating BIOS 2.1 and start the problem with the sound. When I start the game, music or else minutes 2 first sound plays correctly but then it stops without reason. No noise at all. I've been reinstalled op system but the problem is still there.

    Sound works for 2 minutes only then is completely off. Each application to start with sound plays 2 minutes and stop all silent is. I did a probe on my laptop the mother she s a computer portable twin. I have updated bios same problem 2 minutes and then no sound. My OS is win 8 64 pro my laptop mother is with win 7 x 64 premium.

    Two BIOS updated ver 2.1 on L750D and the problem is the same. Please fix the BIOS.

    The BIOS seems to be very old. I was released nearly 1.5 years ago, so to be honest, I doubt that his and BIOS problem.

    I had the similar problem with my other laptop equipped with a Realtek sound card.
    The sound appeared after connection and remove the headphone jack
    But I could solve this latest installation updated audio driver the Realtek driver page.

    But it seems that your Satellite does not support Realtek audio chip but the Conexant audio chip.
    Therefore, the solution could not be useful for you.

    However, I think that you need to update the audio driver. I recommend you google for driver Conexant SmartAudio HD and test the latest version of the driver available.
    On the internet, I find the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver version 8.65.9.51 for Win 7 / 8 Win / Win 8.1
    Not quite sure if this is the latest version, but you can test it.

    To manually update your driver:

    1. go into the Device Manager (right click on my computer, choose manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel)
    2. right click on the device you want to update and choose Update driver software
    3. choose Select the location of the new driver manually and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the driver

  • Satellite L350 updated Bios to pad 2.1 and lost

    Hello

    As indicated above for the update Bios to 2.1 later I lost the functionality of numeric keypad, not the right side as if it were a good keyboard.
    The above keys work IE delete scroll etc.

    The numlock light does not illuminate, but it does if I activate the keys on the stretch main qwerrty.
    Is their any way to reload the bios it won't let me because I have the latest or downgrade may not be like that until anothrer update.

    By the wy am Windows 7 any info would be greatly apreciated thanks

    Hello

    Normally you press Numlock on the keyboard to enable it.
    Check this box!

    If it s not working do not you should load the default settings in the BIOS. Maybe it works.

    Last but not least just be sure it s not a hardware problem, can test you it with the factory settings?

  • Satellite T135 - update BIOS 2.70 won't be finished

    I have a Satellite T135 Win7 running with an original BIOS that I'm moving to 2.70. I ran all the other software updates in Service Station (2.1.51) with no problems. but the BIOS downloads 2.7, initiates and cautions that I'll need to reboot (I select Yes to execute) and receive notice of popup on the electrical problem (defective DC) which corrects this BIOS, then nothing. It just stops.

    I disabled my firewall windows antivirus, but the update is still unable to fill. I downloaded the file directly from Toshiba (outside the Service Station) and run the file and exactly the same thing happens.
    The event viewer shows all the related entries.

    Anyone has an idea on how to get the updated BIOS up-to-date?

    Hi mwarwick,

    Did you install any new version of package of added value of the Web from Toshiba site? This program is necessary if you want to update the BIOS to check if you have installed the latest version.

    In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS before doing the update. Then, go into the BIOS, press F9 to load the default values, save & exit it.

    Can update you the BIOS now?

  • Satellite L750D - update BIOS causing the CD Player problems

    I have a L750D-1GC Satellite running Windows 7. Recently I updated the BIOS to 1.60 04/05/12 THIS worm 1.40

    I noticed that since that more that I have problems my CD player in what I can read CD/DVD but does not burn. Using burning software, it appears the combustion happens (rotation of the disk and green light), but at the end it breaks down. I have tried several Microsoft Fixit program but the problem persists, help?

    I put t think that the BIOS update would impact on the functionality of CD/DVD drive.
    Usually, the firmware of the CD/DVD drive contains information about the compatible media and I put t that any link between this question and the previous update of the BIOS.

    For me is looks like the laser lens is dirty or the lens may not be properly calibrated to read/write from the disk
    Try to clean the laser lens with cotton wool trick and liquid alcohol in many cases this would set similar question and the player couldn't handle the media properly.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 with fan noise problem.
    It has been partially resolved the upgrade of BIOS from v1.20 to v1.30, according to this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46719&start=0&TSTART=0

    Yesterday I updated the BIOS v1.50, and the sound of the fan returned.
    I do not recommend this upgrade if you have had the problem of fan noise.

    I have downgrade BIOS v1.30 and fan noise problem is solved again.
    I know that people have problems to get the downgrade to BIOS, so I describe the process in this thread:

  • Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

    Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
    I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

    I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

    This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

    Hello

    It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
    Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
    Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.

    I have a Satellite A30 (PSA30E) and I start the computer. When I enter the BIOS it does not recognize the hard drive.
    Does anyone no what I can do?
    Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

    Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

    Please provide more info. You see error messages?

  • Portege 3410 - how to update BIOS and install XP?

    Hello, I have two questions on Portege 3410.

    First: I can't update the BIOS (current usage, 1.50 there, I want to update to 1.60). Instruction does not work: I connect Teac USB into USB port, turn on the USB - FDD emulation to activate, portable switch with pressed F12, the message «Ready to update BIOS...» "appears, I touch in a hurry, but nothing happened. What's wrong?

    The other: I can't install Windows XP on laptop (it does not start from USB disk or external USB DVD drive).
    How can I install Windows?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Just a question: why do you want to update the BIOS? Is this really necessary?
    I ask this question because this update is always somewhat risky and you might damage it ROM module
    In any case, have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS before you start the update and install XP?

    You can install XP without CD. Therefore, you must copy the folder i386 on the HARD drive from another computer and the boot to the HARD drive files, I think you need a little search with Google to find a workaround for this. You should find enough! ;)

  • Satellite P200 - updated BIOS fail to step 3

    Then I thought, I have to keep my computer up to date. So I tried to update the BIOS. BIOS update remained stuck for 3 hours at some stage 3. The computer does not restart now, not even a configuration screen. DEAD

    I read somewhere that you can make a USB bootable flash BIOS recovery. Then use some combination of keys that is, Fn or Fn and B W (don't remember). Can someone give me a step by step guide where to download the software, right to the recovery of my BIOS and the machine?

    I don't have to pay fees to have my PC works again as it was working perfectly before this upgrade attempt. I have nothing wrong.

    Thank you

    I have ocso4m pspb6a model (model AU)

    Hi spiralvista,

    > I read somewhere that you can make a USB bootable flash BIOS recovery
    Yes, I have read on these discussions here in the forum but it doesn t always work and there is no official support for this procedure. Everything you do with these BIOS recovery tools arrive at your own risk and in the worst cases you could destroy the whole ROM module.

    Best option would contact an authorized service provider because the guy may have professional tools to reflash the ROM module where the BIOS is stored. Then you should get in touch with the guy and ask for help. They can also tell you how much it will cost.

    I'm sorry that I can't give another t you not answer but here it s a user forum to only where you can talk with normal people like you and me no one of Toshiba here ;)

  • Computer laptop keyboard and mouse does not work (updated Bios and took the batttery)

    I have HP G60-530US.

    I read all the posts that talked about updating the BIOS and then by doing a hard reset by removing the power cable and speaking on the battery and then hit the power button for a minute or simply to leave the computer for several minutes.

    A lot of people seems to have solved their problems.  Not me.

    I updated the BIOS and also did the hard reset like 10 times.  What other options are there?

    I have Windows 7-64 bit.  This problem occurred after I did the updates windows 11/04/13 or 12/04/13.

    Mouse power switch and the power button wifi button keys are the only ones that seem to work.

    Hello

    Go back to the device, right click on the Device Manager and select uninstall - when it is finished, restart the laptop.

    Any change?

  • Satellite 2430-101: BIOS and many other issues

    Then... I had more than 1 question and I hope someone out there can answer...

    1 - is the new Bios (1, 60 - WIN) supports Hyperthreading? If not, is there an other BIOS that is compatible with the S2430-101?

    2. I want to replace the P4 2, 54GHz with a P4 2 8 GHz (800 MHz Bus, HT). If the Bios recognizes the new processor? The heat problem is not really a big problem for me, cause I plan to underclock (if its too hot for the old cooling system to manage) the P4 to 2.6. I want just the stuff (for example HT) of the new processor

    3. not the BIOS recognize a 120 GB HD?

    4. does anyone have experiences with the MSI mini-PCI combo (Blutooth/WLAN) card?

    5. the S2430-101 got a Geforce 4 420 go 32 MB... I was just thinking to upgrade to Geforce 4 440 go with 64 MB... Is this possible... His chip with several pipelines and so on... Its the same family... Has anyone tried replacing a laptop graphics chip? Perhaps a 'material-designer' Toshiba could give some comments to this :D Hey guys... Is this possible?...

    6 I need more power, I need more mAh: D... Do anyone know why the battery has more than 2 pins? Is there any material in the battery which tells the system information of the battery? If so, is it possible to build its own battery or system requires information from the battery in order to operate. If Yes, where can I get the specifications of this "battery pack material"?

    Thanks in advance... Stryker

    Hello

    I'm not an expert, but I'll try to help: :)

    1. There is no public list where you can read what each update BIOS contains or which issues are fixed. It is always recommended to install later and ONLY Toshiba designed update the BIOS.
    2. I can't give you specific information about CPU upgrade, but as far as I know, replacement of the CPU is often not possible. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and it is used in the interest of the miniaturization and heat dissipation. For more information try to contact the Service partner in your country.
    3. you will be lucky if someone has tested with the same unit. This unit is about three years old and it is not easy to say what is the maximum size of HDD supported by the BIOS. I found the info set comes with 40 GB and you can use 60 or 80 GB HARD drive, and I think that there should not be no problem. If you need more space, you can use external HARD drive (unit has USB 2.0 and data transfer speed will be fast enough)
    4. I don't think you can use any card combo on this device because of hardware architecture. WLAN is here but BT module is missing and you can use an external solution such as BT USB stick.
    5 update graphics card is usually not possible.
    6. sorry but this question is a bit stupid to me :) and I really put t know how you want to use the battery clean.

    Expensive Stryker at the end I just recommend you to buy a new laptop. Believe me it's much cheaper than all your projects for the upgrade. Please think about it!
