• Satellite A500-1GL - cannot upgrade the BIOS

  Hello

  I tried to upgrade the BIOS on my Satellite A500-1GL (PSAR9E) for awhile now, but a dead battery so I can not go beyond the security check at the beginning. Is it all of the way around it, like I'm connected with current alternative, so I don't see what the problem is! Could I have possibly self-extracting zip files.

  Any help would be appreciated as this is very frustrating!

  Hello

  I think that you will not be able to update the BIOS, if your battery is dead.
  Victory based BIOS update can be updated from Windows system, and there is a security option that allow you to update the BIOS only if the laptop is connected to the power adapter and if the battery is charged.

  You can update the BIOS using a traditional BIOS version, but as far as I know that Toshiba service partner could do that.

  If you have two options:
  Purchase a battery in order to update the BIOS by using win according to BIOS version or you will get in touch with an ASP in your country and will ask you to update the BIOS by using the traditional version of BIOS.

  But the BIOS update is necessary to you?

  I have a laptop with the old BIOS version and I don't have that day even if the new version has been released.

• Satellite A660-158 - cannot start Windows

  Toshiba Satellite A660-158

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660-158. It has served me less than a week. I think it's the broken hard drive.

  My problem:
  Once I start the computer, it started and has worked for a while, but suddenly, there was an error reading that I didn't have the time. Computer has been restarted. And does not load... Until the boot mode does not reach. But the initial test (with logo) succeeded. Takes a long time and finally gives an error:
  -----
  Cannot start Windows. Maybe it was because of the recent small difference is the hardware or software configuration. To fix this error:
  1. Insert your Windows installation disc, restart the computer (the complete transmission wasn't)
  2. choose the language settings, and then click Next.
  3. Select "repair your computer".
  If this disk is missing, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer (he turned and said to wear to the DEPOT, but I do not have this feature).

  Status: 0xc000000e

  Details: Unable to start menu, since the required device is inaccessible.

  Hey,.

  And why do you think the hard drive is faulty?
  Have you ever tried the repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory in a few minutes.

  Also if you have the Toshiba recovery disc you can also restore the factory of this disc. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. You need to do a few clicks only, installation with all the drivers and tools happen automatically.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

• Satellite A500-1GL - power of Windows 7 and the games options

  Hi all

  Some know maybe my previous posts about my problem with the fan on my Satellite A500-1GL worry when I'm online game. It is disturbing to hit the 90%. And his pass even with the update of the BIOS and Toshiba now advise to do a factory restore then fails to send in for repair.
  Looking at the power options,

  I was wondering if someone could recommend this power options I should consider and it would have made no difference for the wise game fan (secondlife seems to be the main problem with the fan turn the crank to the top)

  Any help would be appreciated, trying to think of something that might help which may be a simple solution to this problem of fan
  Torti :)

  Hello

  To be honest, a lot of activity of fan during the games would be normal I think because games need a lot of CPU and GPU power, they always run at a very high level. This means a lot of heat will occur and it must be cooled to avoid damage.

  Of more if I have the games, it s not important how the fan noise creates because I hear music or dialogue game Isn t it so? ;)

  In any case, from time to time it s advisable to clean the cooling system of your laptop using a jet of compressed air:

  And for games, you can use high power option or balanced Windows Performance.

• Satellite Pro C650 - cannot start Windows more

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C650 11Z model under Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm not very savvy computer. I can use my computer to perform tasks and use the software, but I m not very got when it comes to computer and tinkering under the hood, somehow.

  I was using the laptop yesterday evening to watch a You Tube playlist and was downloading a PDF 29MB file in the background. I have done this kind of thing before and never encountered any problems.

  When the download finished (I use Google Chrome) I clicked the button at the bottom left of the screen to open the download. You Tube then frozen.

  I could see the little green circle spinning around like loading upward download, but nothing was happening. Then Google Chrome no longer according to the bar at the top of the window.

  I tried CTRL + ALT + DEL, but the workload Manager wouldn t. The only thing I could do was turn off the laptop and running again, as it had frozen him completely. When I turned on it again, I had the Windows error recovery menu as shown in the following image.

  http://www.TechJaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Win7-error-recovery.PNG

  The problem is that none of these options does nothing. If you choose the recommended option (for example Startup Repair) it comes up with the gray bar saying Windows loads the files and then will just a black screen. By selecting Start Windows normally gets you to the swirling colorful circles that make up the logo Windows and he said: start Windows but still once, it does nothing but just stick to that.

  A friend told me that a BIOS reset * may help. However, I don't know how to get the BIOS on the laptop. He called Insyde H20 installed and I don't see the option to access the BIOS.

  Someone at - it ideas as to what could have wrong and how can I fix? I don't have a recovery disc as my laptop was bought for me by a charity. The warranty has expired now so that I can contact t their support line.

  To be honest I don't think BIOS has nothing to do with it. Start your laptop and press F8 several times to display the advanced startup options. You will find the option to start the operating system in safe mode.
  If please test and let us know what happen when you try to do.

  Hello

  I had a similar problem on my computer but was able to fix it.
  I took my CD of Win XP and started the repair console.

  Then I used the command Chkdsk and scanned and repair files and sectors on the HARD disk.
  Then I used the Fixboot command. He writes a new boot sector on the system partition.
  Finally used Fixmbr command that repairs the boot partition's master boot code.

• Satellite C650-1CP - cannot start Windows

  My C650, running on Windows 7 could not start properly today. When turn on/off he went to the Windows Error Recovery screen and gave me two options: run a startup repair and start Windows normally. I clicked on the repair option and on the bottom it says windows is loading files, then it's another loading screen, and finally to a black screen, which, after a few seconds, a cursor appears. No matter how long I left my laptop on nothing changes. So I decided to choose the second option, and he went to the splash screen windows with the logo of the movement. This form lasted around a minute, and then a blue screen with an error, which is then passed to a black screen. To see this error, I completely disabled the auto reboot on system failure in the F8 options and once restarted, he took me to the same error page.

  On the blue screen error was as follows:
  UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

  She was followed by information saying that it's maybe a software / hardware problem and also to try safe mode.

  Technical information at the bottom were the following:

  STOP: 0X000000ED (0XFFFFFA8003DDFA50, 0XFFFFFFFFC0000185, 0 X 0000000000000000, 0 X 0000000000000000)

  I don't have a recovery disk, if I looked on websites have said recovery is built in. I also tried safe mode, repair your computer, last known config and other options in the F8 key, but these do not properly load and I end up on the black screen with a cursor again.

  I had originally to Exchange my laptop in a week to buy it because it was defective and I had a little less than 11 months, I wonder if there is a solution to this problem and also know if I am covered under warranty for this problem. Thank you.

  Hey,.

  Bluescreens are mainly problems of software or drivers so I think that reinstalling Windows would help to get rid of this.

  Why you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk? I mean in the user manual it clearly written that you have create such a floppy yourself and it only takes a few minutes and you need to blank DVDs. All that s.

  The recovery disk contains an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools. It is an image pre-tested by Toshiba so everything will work after the installation of recovery. With this record, you are on the safe side.

  Anyway, you can order a recovery disc here:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  Software problems are not covered by the warranty. Of course, you can make the laptop to an authorized service provider and guys are going to reinstall to factory settings, but you have to pay for this service.

• Satellite Pro M200 - cannot start Windows

  I have a Satellite Pro M200 PSMC4A, did an update Windows, requsted to restart, then the black screen as follows:
  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. Equip the installtion disk and restart. Problem 1: having no disk - lost I think. Lost file is \Boot\BCD.

  Tried different legal remedies without success. Disk Windows XP used to reinstall but now says cannot see all hard drives!
  All of the suggestions.

  Hello

  You can access the advanced boot menu? If so, you should try to start in charge more than the last known good configuration.
  If this is not the only option is to reinstall Windows I think. Therefore, you can take a Microsoft or Toshiba drive. If you don t have the Toshiba disk recovery, contact the service provider authorized in your country.

  I think that the recognized HARD wasn t disc because you need SATA drivers. Did you check that?

• Re: Satellite A100-410 cannot start Windows XP

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-410 and I can't start over (in safe mode ok). When starting, it shows the XP screen and after 10 seconds, the screen goes black. We have re-installed XP but no use. We checked again and assume that something is wrong with the video card drivers.

  So we checked for the last but no use. I can boot the laptop when the video card is uninstalled, so it takes to cause something weird.
  Or could it be that the card is broken?

  Hello.

  For sure your video card is ok, otherwise you may see white screen after switching on. The problem is in the driver problem. Have you downloaded the Toshiba site display driver?
  Maybe there is a conflict of driver. This site http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=1655&file=7&evp=c14f9f3787877ee f9ef4b235b9146e96 stage
  Download and install. Then try to reinstall the display driver (if not work, do it in safe mode).

  If she's not always you help, do a search for a new iso Windows Xp but not Windows assembly (some guys like to change windows, deleting and adding some files, and then load it. Most of these modified versions are bad).

  That's all I can suggest now, sorry if does not work.

• Satellite L40 - cannot start Windows

  Hello

  hope you can help, my computer Toshibal L40 laptop on commissioning began by displaying the following error message:

  * "Cannot start Windows. a recent change in the software hardware might be causing... » *

  It offers the possibility of:
  "* Launch Startup Repair option" * "

  I chose this. WIndows seems to load up, but then I get the following error message:

  Installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer *.

  I lost the recovery disk, but attempted to load the recovery console by using a windows XP disk, but it gave me error message more. Advice would be very welcome.

  For the installation of Vista you don't need SATA driver but for Windows XP Home edition you need. Is no problem at all.

  The question is what you want to do now? If you want to use Vista just use recovery media and you will have factory again.
  No problem at all.

  I did a restore on my Satellite A500-1GL using F8 to recovery on the HARD drive.

  However after the computer goes through the implementation of Windows 7 for the first time, from desktop it immediately disconnects and restarts.

  -* SOLVED * -.

  -It turns out that he must restart about 6 - 7 times to complete the installation.

  Hello

  As I see that everything is fine. It is logical that laptop restarts several times while recovery facility is running. I do not know how it looks with your machine, but when I use the recovery machine it starts with the number 1/64. With other words, it must be installed 64 components (software) and then some of them laptop restarts simply but installation will continue.

  When the recovery image is complete it is still displayed on the screen and the laptop owner is notified that installation of recovery has been completed successfully.

• Satellite A500-1GL - slow WiFi

  Bought a Satellite A500-1GL, because he promised performance a few weeks ago and I was disappointed.
  Lasts longer the laptop much longer than children should start up, but this isn't the painful question, I had struggled to trouble.
  When connected to the router it downloads to 9,46 Mb/s but I bought a laptop for mobile convenience.
  When there is wireless download speed gives a very painful 0.09 Mb/s.
  Here's what I've tried so far.

  Seller told me it was a problem of Internet Explorer and download Firefox.
  It took nearly an hour and has not made a difference.
  I disabled the virus checking and firewall individually and collectively and no help.

  Was told to change the channel on the router, I've done and no difference.

  Then said that if I changed the TX auto at 100% power level the problem should be solved.
  Download but always at the same painful level.

  Laptop of the child works very well exactly in the same places in the House, at 9 more Mbps, where my brand new Toshiba crawls to 0.09, or sometimes 0.10 MB/s.

  I also tried to turn all devices wireless into house arrest, but it did not help.

  Can someone help me please. I'm at my wits end and regretting spending so much money on this «high-performance notebook»

  Oh, I'm on Windows 7, have updated the Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC and am ready for the hills.

  Help! ................................please!

  Have now updated the WLAN and the BIOS (?) but still not good.
  A lot of reading of problems like that of machines Toshiba.
  Really thought it was a good brand.
  Blood pressure is very high.
  I guess I'll be back tomorrow and get my money back.
  Not suitable for use, it was sold.
