  Hello, recently I have acquired a Satellite A300-276 with insydeh2o BIOS.

  The BIOS Setup asks for password to access. I tried some stuff, like shorthing b500 (it clears cmos, but it does not remove the password). Also updated the version of the bios to the latest version on csd (2.2). I can always start, I am not able to configure it.

• Satellite A300 - question about the MIDI connection

  Can someone help me?

  I have a computer laptop satellite A300 and want to connect it to my computer to stream TV and movies.
  I don't see where I would plug MIDI to my computer.
  Is it possible to do with this model?

  If not, can I get a plug that would stretch the capacity of the computer or I have to get a new computer?

  Thank you
  Carol

  Sorry, but I m confused
  You said you want to connect the Satellite A300 to a computer
  Is this correct?

  You can connect two computers via a LAN cable. But I have no idea why you talking about connecting MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)

  Hi Dan,.

  Unfortunately there is no way 'backdoor' to access your system without the BIOS password. Most BIOS manufacturers install a 'default' password but they change it from time to time is not possible to say that one might have on your system (if any at all).

  If you search Google for the BIOS reset password options you find many techniques described to bypass the BIOS password or even reset the CMOS completely chip, but the only way to truly guarantee to solve your problem is to take the laptop to an authorized Service partner who can reset the CMOS chip and re-flashing the BIOS. They generally need to see some evidence of property before they will do so.

• Equium L10-300 - Question about BIOS password

  Hey all hope you can help a new user please.

  Had a customer to put in a notebook Equium L10-300. Somehow has been a password on the BIOS and start-up, so I can't do anything with it. I can't boot from a CD and I tried a USB floppy drive, it seems to the flexible time and then just operates in the password box. I was going to try a BIOS flash, you see.

  I'm guessing maybe remove battery from the bios might help? But do not know where it is or how to get to it. All links to the manuals etc. would be nice. I ve read some new Toshibas have special security chips now hold passwords etc.

  Any help would be thank you very much, really need to solve this problem.

  Hello Mark

  If you have clients, I assume that you work for an authorized service. The fact is that each service description how to remove the BIOS password on each laptop model.
  So if you try to delete the BIOS password I can't imagine work you for some Baker. So many things on your work.

  Another important thing is that the BIOS removal procedure is kind of top secret information and may not be the subject of public debate. This information cannot be displayed here. This will be a valuable aid for all who attempt to enter stolen laptops. Do you agree with me?

  If your customer needs professional help to send him to the authorized Toshiba service provider nearest. They know how to remove BIOS password.

• Tecra S5 - Question about BIOS password

  Hello

  I have a problem, when I acquire the computer, put a user password in the bios, and I don't remember him. I do authentication passes the finger in the analysis. Now I want to upgrade the operating system to win7 and do a fresh installation, not an upgrade.
  Authentication via scan will be maintained or will be lost, when do the upgrade of the operating system?

  Thank you to

  Carlos

  Hi, Carlos

  When you do the clean install of the OS, everything will be deleted, so my opinion is that you should remove all passwords before you start the installation of clean operating system.
  unlock your laptop, install and configure the operating system and when the work is done to lock the laptop using passwords.

• Satellite A30: Question about Bios Update August 8

  Good afternoon

  Am I right to assume that the update in August 2007 for my Satellite A30 is to allow him to work with MS Vista? There is no documentation with the download of the bios, but the bios description says "provides the additional functionality.

  Can anyone describe what that this added functionality provides and is it really helps in 3-year upgrade of a machine? I use XP on it

  Kind regards

  Dave Smith

  Hello Dave

  I'm pretty sure that old Satellite A30 is not taken in charge of Vista. Unfortunately there is no public document on the update of the BIOS and the exact list this update is good for. One thing I can say with certainty: If your OS works well and stabile let go and take advantage of Windows XP Home edition.

• Satellite A300 - question about Vista license key

  Hi all,

  I bought an A300-149 with preinstalled Vista.
  One of my friends told me, the partition that was used to install Vista is not useful, it consumes space from my HARD drive, so I deleted the partition and rearranged the partitions that I was going to use them.

  I just found out it's a big mistake to do that, because the contained all partition drivers and Vista with the license key.
  I'm losing my windows license, if I eventually have to reinstall it? (I have the label on the underside of the computer with the key...)
  I can not download the content of this partition (in the form of an ISO standard) somewhere in this site? (and use the key to the label, as it is usually done with the software)

  I paid for this OS... so I don't understand why I have not received a DVD with the software? (When I opened the box, I was looking for the DVD and I wandered why he is missing...)
  It's frustrating...

  Waiting for your answers,
  Thank you

  Hello

  It's really stupid situation now, but certainly not frustrating.
  Here a few facts to better understand:

  New Toshiba laptops are delivered without recovery DVD and images of recovery is recorded on the second partition. All of us must create own recovery media. To do this, this Toshiba has designed little tool called creator of Toshiba recovery disc. With this tool, you can create recovery recovery CD and DVD. When you have these media you can do with the data you want. To install Vista over these media must be used.

  So many people may forget or simply ignore it. Because of this Toshiba has designed reminder with the trace message:

  Because of this, Toshiba has designed little reminder that will be shown in short time after first start with track contents:

  * Important INFORMATION *.

  * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair *.
  * your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly *.
  * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose 'Repair your computer' *)
  * and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

  * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" to *.
  * ensure hat you are able to restore your computer to the factory installed state, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

  I can't imagine you didn t see.
  In any case, your friend probably has no idea how it works, and now you have a problem.
  To be honest you have no problem, but the additional costs. You can order the following original Toshiba disk link given by Akuma, but you must pay for it.

  Bye and good luck!

• Satellite A300 - Questions about the second HARD drive Bay

  To the underside of the laptop, there is an empty Bay for a second HDD internal.
  It is in the lower left corner (the first internal hard drive is on the lower side right) and the Bay has a sata connector.
  The plastic cover of the empty Bay extended columns so nothing (not even a hard disk) can be positioned on the inside.

  Someone knows:
  -If the sata connector works
  -If I can connect a secondary internal hard drive which work together with the primary
  -Where I could order the support for the secondary hard drive (i.e. toshiba code)
  -Where I could order a plastic cover without extensive columns, bcz I want to break.

  If my question is not clear, I can upload a photo.

  Thanks in advance

• Impossible to use my Satellite A300 again because of password at startup

  What kind of password? Password BIOS or Vista password?

• Satellite A215 boots to BIOS password screen.

  I have a Satellite A215-7425 with a problem, I thought I'd pass along the forum. Thank God the three Toshiba laptops that we use, it's the only one who has this problem, so far.

  Spontaneously, this laptop starts with the screen of the BIOS at startup password. The problem is, there is no solution for this problem before returning the computer to a Service Center Toshiba where the password can be reset or replaced a security chip or such nonsense. Toshiba technical support can help you to short to send you a UPS box to return the computer in. Technical support Toshiba doesn't have a password that they can give you, or they do not know what causes this problem, but "Toshiba working on it." A search for this problem on Google translates into various web sites that list the Toshiba BIOS passwords, which none has solved my problem.

  Now for my question, that Toshiba could not answer, why, in heaven's name would be a laptop or any computer for that matter, be set up in this way? What is a BIOS password, which, with the lack of effectivly, the computer makes them unusable, has to do with security? It's stupid!

  Oh and another thing, Toshiba is not the only company that does this, Gateway, HP and Dell do not provide a password of BIOS for repair, or their Support technicians technical people.

  So if your Toshiba start screen of the BIOS password, and that your Toshiba just happens to contain information essential for peace in the world, you're out of luck until it can be delivered being repaired and delivered back to you.

  Desmond, a very dissatisfied customer of Toshiba.

  I m the ASP will remove the BISO password and will solve this problem.

  Thank you

  > If I decide to upgrade, what are the benefits? It is really necessary or just recommended?
  The BIOS update is recommended only if you have problems with your laptop.
  If your laptop is running properly, then a BIOS update is not necessary!

  > Besides, if I would upgrade with a new 500 GB hard drive, it works correctly with the 1.70 bios or new HDD needs higher BIOS?
  The new HARD drive should be recognized by the BIOS correctly event it s an old version.
  It's not easy to say what HARD drive is the best.
  Usually faster HARD drive with rpm higher can be stronger and can develop more heat as a slower HARD drive.

  But in most cases it is not question of speed, HARD drive is it shouldn't t be a temperature problem
