Satellite A40-231 does not start after the incorrect firmware update

Hello
I have a toshiba satellite a40 - 231.it unbootable because I flashed it's drive(sdr-6112) dvd - rw with the wrong firmware and I also made a mistake in making a non bootable back active partition, try to Flash the correct firmware. So my question is: can I boot from the usb flash drive? I think it's the only option I have left, if not network startup.

Thanks in advance!

Hello

As far as I know it of not possible to start other devices from the USB FDD / HDD / CD-ROM / LAN

You can boot from network, but if you want to install the OS via the LAN you will need a RIS server. But it's not easy to do without any additional experience. So I think that this option isn't for you.

It seems that the drive is dead or is malfunctioning and that is why the best idea is to replace the device's drive. I know, it's hard to hear that, but I don't see any other solution

  • Windows 7 does not start after the installation of updates - sounds familiar!

    Apparently, I have another system that no longer starts after you install an update to Windows 7. New kick computer _ I have to disable the automatic update of windows. Twice I had to restore the system in the first week because he hung up after the installation of updates for windows 7. I have no idea what update is the cause of the problem.

    Essentially, start the screen goes black with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner of the screen. The only way out is to restore the system.

    Does anyone know what update is the culpret? HP support has no idea. Their only solution was to update windows 7 to 'never download an update from windows '. It is a terrible thing to be underestimated solution.

    Here's the resolution...

    I installed all the updates except KB2284742 954430, 973688 and 971033. So I decided to install these 1 4 at a time in the order shown. I installed successfully 228472 and 954430 and 973688 disappeared from the list of available updates. So I installed 971033 and it installed successfully and I was still able to restart.

    My conclusion is that there is a conflict between the first 3 updates when they are installed at the same time.

    Now my system is up to date with all windows updates and I'm able to restart without any problems!

  • BDP 3100 Youtube freeze and Yupp TV does not work after the last firmware update

    Hello

    My Youtube app on the Bluray Sony BDP - S3100 drive freezes when I play any video. It says LOADING... and plays the video completely. But the Player hangs and I have to be able to market. This started happening since yesterday is to say 26/06/2013.

    The other problem is with the YUPP TV App.

    After my latest firmware upgrade June 4, 2013 live channels on the YUPP TV app does not work peoperly. It says loading and will market every 5 to 10 seconds. On demand videos are very good. This began to happen immediately after the upgrade on June 4, 2013 (M14. R.0136). but after that, there was a more updated firmware that says that connectivity issues fixed on 08/06/2013 (M14 Version. R.0138). I've updated on my player. Yupp TV questions are still there. YouTube has been fine since then, but then the Youtube above issue started happening since yesterday and I have reported to the Youtube community as well.

    Could you fix Yupp TV, I'm sure that updating the firmware.  Also please check if Yout tube is with the firmware...

    Let me know if you need additional information.

    Thank you
    RAM

    At least I'm not alone, until a few days earlier, alls well, now, I have the same problem, so that makes three of us.  New default factory setting does not so I think a firmware issue, all other channels & functions outside of youtube look... very annoying

  • Satellite 1800-814 does not start after the installation of the software

    Hello
    If I pass on my old Satellite S1800-814, it seems to start correctly: it shows the symbol of "Toshiba", then "Windows XP loading", then the screen goes completely blank, followed by a black screen showing the cursor that I am able to move. The hard drive continues to hum as usual for a few seconds, but then begins to repeat a series of clicking noises, somewhat like a disk that is stuck. The boot process is not still engaged.

    Here's the context: I installed my (old) version of Avid Xpress Pro editing software on my Satellite 1800-814. I managed to install a newer version, even if it does not function effectively, where my attempt to install an older version more closely adapted to the processing speed and the size of the RAM 1800-814. I got the usual warning at the end of the installation program of Avid saying that Windows can be affected if I let the installation ends in letting the computer on. But I pressed the option "continue anyway" (as I've done it before without negative effects). The computer off, but he came in as described above. Please tell me what I broke. Can I ever solve this?

    Thanks for your help.

  • Satellite A200-1If does not start after the BIOS update

    Hello

    It is my first time on the forum posting, I hope someone can help me.
    I recently downloaded the latest update of the Bios (bios - 20090121132526.zip) for my laptop. I ran the bios Setup, after the update it restarted my laptop, but then he went to a black screen and no longer start.
    When I press the power button only power led lights, fans begin to turn and the DVD - rom turns and stops and the screen is blank.
    I am running Vista Home premium 32-bit.

    Can anyone provide a solution on what I can do to fix this?

    Was the system standby standby/extended/recovery?

    Its important to cold starts of the system before and after an update of the BIOS.

    You could try to remove one of the modules RAM (change RAM size) and turn on, otherwise the system may need to be sent to an ASP for repair.

  • Re: Satellite A200-1AX does not start after the BIOS update

    Hi all!

    I wanted to install XP on a Satellite A200-1AX.
    So I tried to update the Bios to the version that supports supported XP.

    When I tried to install it, crashed Vista and now the laptop won't even turn on.

    When I keep the power button pressed, the whistling fan but nothing happens.
    I think the BIOS is gone or corrupted.

    What should I do?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    > When I keep the power button pressed, the whistling fan but nothing happens. I think the BIOS is gone or corrupted. What should I do?

    What to say to boyfriend. It seems that something was wrong during the process of updating the BIOS maybe the BIOS was not written correctly and the ROM module must be flashed again with the help of a special procedure and the tool.

    In this case, you can do anything you will need to contact the ASP in your country for a fix!

    Don t waste time and ask a technician for assistance.

    Good luck and best regards

  • computer does not start after the installation of updates

    Just click on the button "installs the update and the computer shuts down."  When the computer turns off automatically, I pushed the power button and now it is frozen the computer in start mode.  What should I do now?  Can I power off and try again (or which will mess up the configuration of the update that he just installed.

    Note: There are 21 updates installed last night without problem; then 1 update again (that set up correctly when I restarted this morning).  After a successful this morning launch, I noticed there was an another update to install, which is what made me at this point.

    Single computer at home (I use my work computer to submit this application).

    Wait awhile and see if, during the initialization of the problem to be solved or not. It is NOT a good idea to unplug the laptop.

    If this does not work, then try to press F8 and choose last known good configration, but you may need to reinstall the update again.

  • ENVY M6 - 1184ca: 8.1 for Windows does not start after the installation of update KB2919355

    Updating Windows 8.1 KB2919355 has proved to be extremely problematic for me. When he was released at the beginning of 2014 that I was not able to get installed it with the exception of two occasions, the first being several months ago and the second time, a few days ago. I have constant pain to try to get the update of KB2919355 until recently. What finally got the update installed was opened as administrator command prompt and type the following commands,

    DISM/Online/Remove - Package PackageNameackage_for_KB2919355 ~ 31bf3856ad364e35 ~ amd64 ~ ~ 6.3.1.14 

    and then

    DISM / online/cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

    So now, the update of KB2919355 has been installed. Only one problem: like the first time I had the installed, Windows Update leave commissioning. As the HP splash screen that normally appears during the startup process appears after about 3 seconds, Windows displays an error Stop, and for a fraction of a second will display SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error, which as I read, is related to the graphics drivers. The thing is, after the cancellation of the update (the computer in Mode safe start put Windows automatically uninstall the update and everything goes well after), then go in and uninstall the graphics driver, restart, reinstall the graphics driver and reboot again, and then reinstall the KB2919355 update, the problem recurs. I also tried to download and to install the new update of firmware for my particular DESIRE machine which was released a few days ago, but which has not helped either.

    I'm really stuck. I looked up and down, and I scoured Internet for anything that might help. I need to update KB2919355 be installed because without it, I can't book my free upgrade of Windows 10. This laptop is about 2 years and a half old now, so it fulfills all the prerequisites for Windows 10.

    Please do not suggest that I do a Refresh of the system or a system reset, as I have no way to back up my programs, that which some I would not be able to reinstall because I have more drives for some of my programs. Also, I can lose to save him for some of my games.

    When people ask me "What's up?", I always say 'the CAP '.

    So that seems to have solved the problem that is described in this post here. I followed the suggestion, which was to uninstall the driver, SPDT DuplexSecure (which has something to do with the SCSI devices, I'm not quite sure) using the SPDTinst (download here) and now it seems that Windows has started without crashing after installing the update KB2919355. I'll check my Windows Update history and see if it is there.

    Low and behold, a year to be really behind value is ultimately more. I have successfully obtained the update of KB2919355 works on my computer.

  • Windows does not start after the most recent update

    I have 64 bit Vista and Office 2007. There was a group of updates for the latter in February 2011. Something in here is stop Windows at the login screen. Workes mouse and keys stick, but it won't take me to the password screen. Only way to get around it was to go in safe mode and do a system restore to remove the updates. Any suggestions?

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.

    [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  • Reviews of Ubuntu does not start after the installation of updates

    I have a Windows 10 host and a guest Office Ubuntu 15.10. Ubuntu installs and runs fine until I have install updates, and then it gets so far through the boot sequence, but blocks trying to start the GUI.

    What should I do?

    Hello

    can confirm: after installing the last invited Ubuntu patches of the slaughtered 3.16.0-62 core during startup.

    Latest posts is: failed to start the vmware services.

    logfile VMware stops at the loading HGFS subsystem.

    To access the guest computer resolution: Boot with advanced options (hold SHIFT to start, until the menu loader grub is shown). Now select boot option (!) lower than 3.16.0 - 62.

    With 3.16.0 - 60, the guest operating system will start normally. Reinstallation or reconfiguration of the vmware tools don't fix this behavior. If something seems broken with kernel 3.16.0 - 62

    Any solution with core 3.16.0 - 62?

  • Satellite L10-104 does not start after the battery totally empty

    Hello

    After leaving the laptop the weekend without the charger, the battery was totally empty. So I plugged back it it to charge the battery for a day.

    Now, when I press the power button the Green LED at the front lights up for about 3 seconds - nothing else is happening. No HARD disk does appear, no noise from fan coooling, nothing on the screen.

    Does anyone have ideas, what I could do to make it work again?

    Thank you

    Christian

    Hello

    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the laptop.
    Wait a little (1 hour) and then reconnect the two parts.
    Then try turning on the laptop computer. Maybe it helps

    If this will not help, then a hardware problem might be possible
    In this case the RAM modules must be verified in the first step.

    See you soon
