  Hi guys!

  Yesterday I stumbled accidentally updating BIOS for my satellite A350D-113 and computer interference in the process. Now, I've got is this common black screen, fan turns and CD-rom checked.
  I know there are discussions on this issue, but all of these senses are very different. Can someone help me with step by step "what to do"?
  I did not usb floppy, but I suppose a common CD - R should be fine replacement.

  I'm desperate rly.
  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  If the BIOS update failed, you can do anything. You need professional help of an authorized service provider. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module

• Re: Satellite A350D-114 - how to change the display resolution?

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A350d 114. The screen resolution is 1366 x 768.
  But I want to change for example 1280 x 1024, but I can't.
  I wish I had a longer high reolution (768 above).
  What should I do for this?

  Thanks for the replies.

  Vasja is right. You should offer more information.
  When you buy laptop and use it with the settings of the right display driver is pre-installed and the resolution of the screen on the right will be defined by default.

  So the question is: what you do or what you've done with your laptop? with the right display driver, you should be able to use the waterproof display resolution.

• How to remove/reset password BIOS on my Satellite A350D?

  Hi all,

  Unfortunately (but "strangely" especially!) my Toshiba Satellite a350d - 20 k PSALME-01D00RIT does not not recognize the BIOS password. It's the same password never. I used it for 9 months each time in order to allow the start of the laptop.

  However, it is a couple of days since she decided that now that password is incorrect. After having tried and tried, I finally decided to put the HDD on another computer as external drive in order to continue with my work... but here it is the panic: none of the computers I've tried is actually able to read the data on the disk!

  After spending a certain time frozen in panic, I returned to myself and start to ask around to figure out the problem. Someone said that the wrong BIOS password has something to do with the fact that I can not read my disk outside this laptop: you know, it's a kind of average security.

  However, the only thing he cares about me is that at the same time, I can't use my laptop and I can't use my data outside of my laptop.

  So, my questions are:
  (1) this model of laptop has this kind of password BIOS-protection also affecting my drive?
  (2) the BIOS password reset will solve the problem?
  (3) how to reset the BIOS password anyway?
  (4) how to recover my data on this hard drive of reading?

  Waiting for any comment.
  Thank you very much!
  Kind regards.

  Hey guys

  BIOS password is very important security feature and we can not debate on this subject on a public forum, especially the Forum of Toshiba. Following your logic all stolen but with notebook BIOS password can be unlocked.

• Satellite A350D-10Y - failure of the external graphics card?

  Hello guys,.

  I have a toshiba Satellite A350D-10Y and I get some sounds of the sound system of the laptop, but a kind of Mermaid on the mother, accompanied by lights driver dvd, map emitte acoustics is two short beeps. I'm getting these two short beeps loops within a period of 5 seconds +-.

  I downloaded a video for you, to listen to the sound emitted by the MB, in the end you can hear better because you get less noise from the cpu fan:

  Feature of the motherboard: ATI external graphics card

  Things I've done:
  -Remove the battery and try to put on without it.
  -Switch of RAM on the slot a RAM
  -Clean cpu fan one its exhaust
  -Change is the motherboard on a new

  Now, the problem was taken up to, or is the processor or the external graphics card.

  I think that the problem of the graphics card, because if these was a problem of the processor, I'd get the audio system of the laptop beeps and not a buzzer next to the MB.

  Can anyone here help me?

  From my point of few it of not possible to say what s wrong with the laptop without running certain diagnostic tests and check the part.

  The often shorter and emits a beep when turning procedure appears due to the POST (power on self-test) failure.

  This essential POST routine determines the available memory real quantity and checks for the presence of required hardware components.
  In case one of the hardware components would be defective, the power on self test could not be transmitted correctly and the laptop would begin to create some beeps.

  If you are sure that the modules of memory so that the card mother isn't affected, then one of the pieces referred to as CPU / GPU can be the troublemaker.

• Power supply becomes unstable when you move the Satellite 1900 203

  I have a problem with my toshiba satellite 1900 203 (1905 for usa version). I can manage to start perfectly and I can work without any problem, but if I move the laptop just there seems to be a loss of power (fan is working and screen still shows black and white lines vertical and it sometimes becomes very bright). The CPU seems to also stop, because if I'm music listen to it disappears too.

  I'm pretty sure that this is not a screen problem and it must be powered; I throw overheating, as I can work perfectly for a long time if I move the laptop, but after knocking the laptop intentionally, it crashes. I think there must be a bad contact in the motherboard, but I don't know how to find...

  Thank you

  Hello Miguel

  Here on the forum, it is not easy to give you a diagnosis. To do this, and to understand the problem the laptop must be in front of me.

  In any case, from your description, I assume that there may be more power. If there is the problem with portable power or no power supply energy, but in your description there are usually few of very strange things (fan still works but shows vertical lines).

  Sorry, but I think that your device should be properly checked by technicians. They have various tools to make diagnostic tests and find out what may be the problem.

  My problem is on my display driver, because I discovered that ATI has no update for the 4000 series and below, and I use 3000 series on my machine...

  Can someone help me please? I really want to improve my OS to win8? should I continue the upgrade? According to me, my cell phone features are good for the minimum requirements to upgrade to win8, but I couldn't find the part number on the list provided by Toshiba for laptops which is expandable to win8...

  I put t know how to help. Toshiba doesn't support this old Satellite for Win8 and hardware manufacturer doesn't support graphics card too.
  If something exists doesn t how do you find it for you.

  WIN8 is the new generation and of course we need better and more recent material for it.

• Need drivers of Windows XP Home for Satellite A350D-114

  Hello!

  I'm Polish and I can't too much English, so I will use Google translation.
  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A350D-114 with standard MS Windows Vista installed. I got this laptop a few years, despite the format, several cleaning, etc., this laptop with windows vista has always been slow.

  So I'm looking for drivers for this laptop under Windows XP.
  The problem is that the manufacturer provides no drivers for XP, but only for Vista and 7
  I've seen a few threads on this topic, but do not provide an adequate solution out there, and I don't know how correctly to choose a driver.

  Could someone help me find that those are the drivers?

  Last year I ve installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite A350 and it works perfectly so I highly recommend you to install Win7 and old not only is not supported Windows XP Edition family.
  We can help you with the installation of Win7.

  Honestly, I ' am afraid of what he will do to my computer...

  Question:
  What is the cause of the problem and how do I fixed this?

  Before I encounter this error message, but after I opened my laptop that has been started.

  Why I opened my laptop?

  I have here some information that might help trace when this problem started...
  before there is no password set in my security settings on the bios, I put the password in it. My mother borrowed my laptop so I decided to remove all the passwords that I put to him.

  In my bios security settings
  In the old password, I put my password then I leave empty the new password and retype the new password then I save and exit...

  After that I can't go to my bios it still asks to put a password but I wonder because I already deleted it, I tried to put the password that I used before but I does not work...

  I searched the internet on how to recover a bios password and I tried some of these suggestions
  I am using Toshiba Satellite A350D - 20 K I've upgraded to windows 7 64 bit, I believe that there is no utility driver for my OS password so I can not use utility password, based on a suggestion that I read

  I can reset my bios by removing the cmos / battery from inside my computer bios laptop so I decided to open my laptop but suddenly I have not found all the batteries inside...
  After I opened my laptop, that was the time I started to encounter the error message...

  Dear friend

  Now the situation is more complicated. To be honest, that certain parts of your reports are not logical for me to be discussing this.

  As you know in the BIOS boot options where you can set the boot sequence there. With other words, you can define which device should be the first, second and so on. To start notebook BIOS check this defined order and try to start the operating system. If the first boot device is not found for some second reason for notebook control device. If there is no portable bootable option check the following.

  This message PXE occurs when the laptop cannot find the boot device and try to start the LAN (network card) device. Why does this happen? I put t know what the problem is here.
  At this point, I have to say that I m really confused when you say that you can continue to windows after this message appears on the screen. How do you do that? Can you start preinstalled OS now or not?

  BIOS password
  This method with the removal of battery can run on desktop computers, but with laptops is the history a little bit different. If you are not able to remove or change the password of the BIOS, then you have a big problem. Now this can be done by only authorized service.

• Satellite P100-203 takes very long to start upward

  I bought my computer Satellite P100-203 in October 2006, since day 1, it takes a lot of time that the computer is ready with commissioning. WXP MCE is installed. I think that a computer with Intell T2500 dual core 2.0 GHZ/1024 MB should be ready in a minute...

  Someone at - it an idea may be what the problem?

  Hello fred,.

  Believe me, the laptop with dual core 2.0 GHz CPU doesn't faster start as a laptop with a Pentium 4 2.0 GHz.
  The question is. What and how many applications will load at start up?

  Many applications making it slow and long start-up procedure. I think that you use Anti virus software. If you disable the startup of these applications at the beginning, the phone should start a lot faster

• Satellite 1900 203 does not illuminate

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite 1900-203 that I just opened the rest of blue.
  After I disconnected radiator and the CPU cooler filled with dust (beaten with dust) then I removed the cooler and the cleaning of the radiator.

  Then I assembled everything back together as a unit.
  I was what you got and when I tried to turn it on is the silence (and the monitor of the Caps Lock key is not on.).

  All the rest go. I did a few tests to see who ' s:
  (1) I joined my silence just LCD monitor and the laptop...
  (2) I put the network with the laptop because he had net of my table pc and monitors the network and death and the last attempt
  (3) I joined the laptop Music Center and dead (not hear anything).

  I think probably one of the causes can be RAM burning function.
  In fact, it's very strange because how and which burned Ram... they can go better... but still 2?

  Oh yes, I forgot to say that I tried to put the only RAM and the same thing.

  Please help me... I've yet to meet such a problem and I have no idea what could be wrong.
  What should do?

  Can be bought for a RAM? What is? Waiting for your answers.

  Hello

  What about my friend?
  Have you disassembled your notebook following some instructions or yourself?
  You have experience with this sort of thing?

  How can you be sure that everything is properly connected again?
  What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop? Is there a reaction?

  To be honest I do not have this problem because of the RAM. In my opinion you didn t it assembled correctly.

  I use Satellite A350D-2Ok. Its operating system was originally Vista 32 bit, I change to Windows 7 64 bit, I tried drivers for Windows 7 64 bit here. Then I saw a driver or installer for finger utility to print so I was confused if what is for? I downloaded and installed, but I don't see any new installed application or software in my laptop? I also checked it on C:/programfiles Strawberry I was still seeing it...

  You guys can tell me what is this installer for? What is the use at all on this issue or it how it works in short.

  Hello

  1 fingerprint utility
  I think even says it all if your laptop is a fingerprint reader you need of this tool/driver to use. Otherwise you don t need. ;)
  In general fingerprint reader and the utility can be used to replace the Windows login password. You can use your finger to login to Windows if you have the fingerprint reader.
