Satellite A350 - 12J Faliure of the BIOS after update.

Hello world.

I am owner of Toshiba Satellite A350-12J (it's the PSALME series). Recently I received the message in Toshiba Tempro, having said that I should update my BIOS, so I decided to do. I downloaded proprer version from the Toshiba site, which was 1.5 and follow the instructions to update (I want to mention here, this isn't my first update of the BIOS). After that update was done to my restarted laptop and does not start again. The screen is black all the time.

When I try to turn the fan runs for a few seconds and then goes down, there is an activity in the USB and DVD devices but it's only for a few seconds and then more nothing.

Oh, almost forgot that HARD drive also works. I read that in the Phoenix based BIOS there is that something called crisis recovery, so I tried, laptop starts in this mode (I can say, because in it is fan of fashion goes up to system and RPM max tries to boot from USB Floppy).

I tried crisis Revovery in several combinations and during the process, it seems that it is flashing my BIOS (crisis recovery disk whith Floppy is read for about 2-3 minutes), but after I wait and give him time to reflash (10-15 minutes each time) for computer laptop stiil starts.

I think that maybe this version of BIOS (1.5) is bad or something. Maybe Somone have original BIOS for this laptop, I would be very grateful for these BIOS or maybe someone has an idea of what is wrong there.

In case someone has the original BIOS was kind enough to send me, here is my email:

It s NOT PSALME series but series PSALWE!

> I decided to do. I downloaded the correct version of the Toshiba site, which was 1.5
On the page of Toshiba Europe, I find the BIOS update version v2.10

However, there is only one real solution;
You should get in touch with ASP in your country in order to solve this problem.

    Is it possible to change the action of he keys music on a Satellite A350-12J to open Itunes instead of Media Player?

    According to the manual and my own experience, I can say that's not possible. You can only start Media Player or DVD Toshiba.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA8K stuck in the BIOS after that the BIOS is flashed

    Hi all

    I used the utility to update the BIOS of Toshiba on this machine. It was working fine before, now it is blocked with the Toshiba Startup logo. Pressing F2 or F12 don't work. Pressing ESC. Gives the following error. No TPM or TPM has problem. Everything else seems as usual. It shows the BIOS 6.00, which is what I had in theory flashed to.

    I guess the flash gone bad. Is there a disaster for this recovery procedure?

    Hi guys

    It seems really turned something went wrong during the BIOS update process.
    Perhaps a new module ROM BIOS flashing could solve this problem.

    The point is that you need a BIOS version of special rescue and the drive to reflash the module ROM.
    But only the authorized service provider has such special rescue tool and only the ASP technician can reflash the BIOS.

    So maybe it's not a real solution but a tip how to get a solution
    I would recommend so contact the ASP in your country for the control of the laptop and a reflash BIOS.

    Best regards & good luck

  • Satellite 300CDT: where to find the Bios & driver updates

    Hello
    Ive been given an old 300CDT and I'd like to update bios

    However, the support site does not list this as a model.
    I can find a few models that may be similar.

    On the Toshiba driver page, you can find the driver in the field of archives.
    Have you checked it?

    I checked the archives and found only the drivers for Windows 98, 95 and NT.

  • Problems with the reader of CD/DVD on the Satellite A350-12j

    Hello

    I just bought my laptop, Toshiba Satellite A350-12j, two weeks ago and am generally happy with it, but I can't seem to read correctly the data DVD.

    When I try to play a DVD that I burned on my data desktop PC, the laptop starts to read, but takes very, very long time.
    When I try to copy the data on the DVD of my laptop, it takes forever (I tried once for 45 minutes and then abandoned) and after a while it starts to claim it can read most of the files on the DVD.
    It is not the data on the disks which raises problems, cause when I transfer those my desktop to my laptop computer on a Flash DRIVE instead of a DVD, files are copied immediately without problem.

    At first I thought it could be due to the DVDs themselves (I use TDK DVD + ROM), or perhaps that Vista was the culprit, but I tried the same exact discs on my friends laptop Medion also running Vista and it is having no problem whatsoever.

    Anyone have any ideas what could be the cause, or better yet, which could solve it?

    Thanks in advance!

    > When I try to play a DVD that I burned on my data desktop PC, the laptop starts to read, but takes very, very long time.

    Hmm I think this could be a problem of DVD not entirely compatible.
    My laptop drive s couldn t read or write DVDs from different manufacturers.
    I tested a lot of disks and now I m using TDK DVD-R.

    But it of always different. Maybe your drive would not support this disc correctly, but another disk would be better supported

    I think you should test it simply. There are many manufacturers different drive don t give up buddy

  • Satellite A350-12J: what BIOS should I use

    Hi all...

    don't know what bios download, can't see vids, audio only... (avi file)...

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    Why you n t know what BIOS is compatible?
    Where is the problem?

    Satellite A350-12J seems to belong to the PSALWE series. The number should be placed at the bottom of the unit.

    If you choose this model number on the European driver Toshiba page then you would get the BIOS and all the necessary Vista drivers for this device.
    The page provides the BIOS for vista 32-bit and 64-bit. If the Vista is 32 bit OS then take the BIOS for 32 bit

    But to be honest, I always put t know what problem is your ad is very short all not really useful

  • Satellite A350-12J said to insert the DVD + "this is a system error.

    I recently bought a toshiba Satellite A350-12J...
    The computer tells you to insert the DVD + this is a system error...

    Please insert the DVD - disks to perform backup of the recovery disks.
    I hope it is of some help, I am now almost bald of pulling my hair!

    Hello

    You are not able to boot the system? Or what?
    What happens if you press F8 immediately after the laptop was turned on?
    You then see the start menu?

    If you can access the advanced boot menu, then you could try using the option called last good known Configuration (Advanced).

    If this will not help and you will not be able to restart the laptop then choose fix my computer-> Toshiba HDD recovery and reinstall the OS using the Toshiba HDD recovery option.

    See you soon

    Hello

    The chicony webcam does not work on my toshiba Satellite A350-12j and windows 7 64 bit...

    I always get different errors as
    "graphics make it fail."
    "the device is locked by another program.

    I tried many things and watch them on a lot of messages, but nothing does. I installed a lot of drivers and programs to solve, but nothing works.
    at first the camera was ok but now nothing seems to help and the camera is broken...

    Can you help me??

    Thank you!

    > seen as 1 million messages like mine and not even 1 right answer on how to solve it!
    I guess you didn't read all these messages correctly

    The user Symbian wrote that her webcam works fine! He used the software/driver for the Toshiba page as well

    Since the Skype reports an unknown error too, I guess that this whole thing has noting to do with the webcam software, but with your Windows 7 installed!

    Seems a registry keys, files or all what it might be, are confused upward!
    In your case, I would try a new installation! Install Win 7 and the Toshiba drivers/software.
    Then test the webcam.

    Don t install any 3rd party software before you would test the webcam!

  • Satellite A350-12j - cannot turn off light Mediabuttons

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A350-12j, and I think it's a fantastic phone!

    2 days ago after about 3 months of use, it began to slow down, so a friend of start me 'Cleansing' of my laptop. (Some progs antispyware, CCcleaner, defragmentation, run..) and it also took some start programs op in the MSCONFIG.

    After this cleaning, we installed AION and it runs great, computer is fast, once again, all good. Until last night, when I was ready to put the buttons of media and the Strip-light little above the touchpad and the Toshiba brand out, so my battery would last longer, it has stopped working.

    Whenever I press the icon to boot, only this icon turns off and then the lightning is reactivated. It sounds like a stupid problem, but it lowers decreases your battery. Now, I checked back on in the MSCONFIG and already ran a repair of the system, but nothing seems to help...

    Can someone help me with this stupid problem please :)

    Friend, Niels

    -Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Belgium-

    Hello Niels

    Open it please help Toshiba > Optimize > Toshiba hardware settings.
    If I remember well there must be tab on lighting and the option toggle.
    Check please if it will works.

    You can also try is to remove preinstalled value-added package and after restarting the laptop installed the latest version, you can find on the Toshiba support page.
    I'm sure that you'll be able to control the new lighting option.

  • Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) standby & hibernation fails after updating BIOS

    Hello

    I wonder if it is common that after the upgrade of the Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) of the BIOS 2.50 at BIOS 3, 70 - Win or 3, 90 - Win, do sleep modes and Hibernate the * completely locked laptop computer? *

    After the upgrade, when I try to enter sleep or hibernation, the laptop turns off the LCD and gets locked so it isn't help to press and hold the power button, open/close the cover, press Fn - F3 or F4 - Fn, the only way is to disconnect the power supply and wait until the battery runs down, or simply be very rough and * disconnect the battery *.

    While the Pro U300 is locked, I hear that HARD drive and fans are also swivel - as soon they were when entering standby or hibernation mode. Very ugly behavior - you can FRY your laptop with something like that. I thought that BIOS 3.70 was faulty but unfortunatelly version 3.90 also worthless.

    Furthermore, I can't yet understand why large (70% of the zip file) file of the package to upgrade the BIOS (3.70 and 3.90)... is the portable other flashers log file?

    Your ad, I understand that the screen does not wake up after its entry in the standby or hibernation mode.
    Am I wrong?

    I noticed that Toshiba has released a new version of the Intel graphics driver.
    At this time the update is 02/20/08 and the version is 6.14.10.4831.

    Maybe you should try to update the display driver too check to see if it would help to get rid of this annoying display problem

    I recommend to remove the old version of the graphics driver first, then install the new downloaded driver.

    Mate good luck

  • Satellite L450D PSLY5E freeze during the BIOS update - now does not turn on

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite L450D. I recently tried (unfortunately) update the BIOS after a clean installation, because the FN key no longer working to bring up the toolbar.

    Winphlash program froze near the end and the system remained frozen for a good half-hour. The only way out was to remove the battery (as I know in any case).

    Now, the system will light with battery in or out and plugged in. I guess I've damaged the hard drive or the card mother or something.

    Is it possible to fix? Or is it?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    BTW - I know now not to update the BIOS unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary and well advised.

    Joey

    > I guess I've damaged the hard drive or the card mother or something.

    The disk HARD isn t damage but the Rom module where the BIOS is stored was not flashed properly.
    I guess that this happened because the flash procedure was interrupted.

    I'm not sure if this can be fixed perhaps the service guy could flash the ROM module with special disc of crisis of the BIOS.

    I keep fingers crossed

  • Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
    The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

    A lot, I searched but found nothing.
    The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

    THX in advance,
    John

    Hello

    First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
    Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

    I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
    So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

    By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)

  • Could not load the BIOS after RAM upgrade - Satellite A200

    I've updated my RAM memory on my laptop Thishiba Satellite A200 (from 2 GB to 4 GB) but unfortunately now I can't enter the BIOS. Automatically load the operating system (windows 7 64 bit).

    How can I solve my problem?

    P.S. The new RAM works perfectly and it is recognized by Windows 7.

    I don't know what you've done and why this happens, but what you can do is to check if the quick start option is enabled.
    Open Toshiba Assist > optimize > HWSetup > priority Boot and check the startup speed option it.
    Remember that it is set to Normal.
