• Dead by Satellite A500-1pj after involuntary Bios Update

  Hello world

  A friend of mine bought a new PC laptop toshiba Satellite A500-1pj a month ago. Windows 7 pro 64-bit pre-installed.
  Also preinstalled: support software toshiba who - correctly - configured search automatically and installs updates and critical fixes.

  Last Sunday this wonderful software recommended an update 'critical' to my friend - she's no expert but a user experienced who can make the difference between an update of the bios (and avoid this!) and a security patch, she agreed to download and install what she believed to be a security update.

  Sure, she gave permission to an update of the bios being installed. During the process of updating the machine froze completely. She waited for three hours and then pulled the plug. Guess what: the machine is now completely gone. Does not display without fan, simply nothing.

  Hotline support Toshiba told him that his cell two weeks old is not under warranty because this warranty does not cover software 'problems and the Bios updates are software upgrades.

  The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...

  My questions:

  (1) the laptop is a Satellite A500-1pj (PSAR9E-01M00QGR) fitted to a phoenix UEFI bios (bios toshiba/phoenix, 1.1.26 update tool is pretty radical - no warning at all! he tried to update me my computer dell laptop, lucky!).
  I found some posts on older machines that can be reflashed using a usb disk, hot spare bios back and a combination of keys (Fn + B or Fn + F...). is it possible to do this with a UEFI bios too?

  (2) anyone out there have the same problem?

  (3) any chance of toshiba help us with that issue and prevent others from making the same mistake to understand at least a warning in their bios updates?

  Thanks for your help!

  > The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...
  I doubt that
  I think that the module ROM BIOS was flashed incorrectly (don't know why) and therefore you can not start the laptop.
  This can happen for different reasons, maybe that the update process was interrupted due to a process running in the background, etc.

  In order to solve this problem, the ROM module must be flashed again using a special crisis disk BIOS... that's all.

  The update of the BIOS is always a sensitive procedure but if everything was done correctly, then update the BIOS must successfully complete.

  I found this very interesting and useful to Toshiba and HowTo doc correctly updated the BIOS!

  Hello

  I had to goolge get more information on this NVidia optimus technology

• Connect XPS 17 LCD TV via HDMI cable

  I have a XPS 17 L701X- and I'm trying to connect it via HDMI cable for a 32 '' LCD TV Phillips girlfriend with backlight. However, no matter what I try, the laptop never acknowledges that the TV is there and vice versa. I tried to restart, reinstall the video drivers, fiddling with settings in the control panel for multiple screens, tried two new HDMI cables separated from Amazon - and nothing works. (The TV works fine when it connects its Macbook via HDMI). Can someone please help?

  Well Mitch, I advanced and bought this adapter part and, lo and behold, the work of workaround! First try also (at least in my case)-without debugging or diagnose.

  Process, my three steps:

  (1) I plugged the adapter Mini DisplayPort for my XPS (around the back next to the HDMI port); (2) I connected the HDMI cable to the adapter (the other end of the cable is already connected HDTV); (3) I have pressing F1 on my XPS and duplicate selected (key Windows + P or "Connect to a projector" If you work via Control Panel).

  (I used StarTech Mini DisplayPort HDMI adapter)

  -site of the factory that it lists as $22, but I bought mine from a local store of tech for less than half that price. I hope this helps!

• Satellite P200-1EE connected to LCD TV via HDMI

  I recently bought an HDTV (Sony v3000) with the intention of watching my HD-DVD on the big screen! When I log in and watch, my TV tells me that the signal is only 1080i when my TV is 1080 p. What should I do to make sure my HD-DVD is monitored at the max resolution?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  As far as I know that Satellite P200 can send signals only 1080i. Please check the BIOS settings. On my Qosmio laptop I can change that in the BIOS settings. Set it to 1080i and you will get a perfect picture quality.

  I have TV LCD BRAVIA too and watch movies HD-DVD with Qosmio. Just activate the HDMI port and enjoy the movies.

  is it possible to connect an A300 1GC with Windows XP to a fullHD TFT via HDMI Port?
  I can't find the drivers for the HDMI port on the Toshiba support page, there is one for Vista, so it is not possible with Windows XP?

  The VGA port can´t normal display solutions-HD 1920 x 1080, correct? (ATI Mobility HD 3650, 1 GB)

  AFAIK for HDMI port you need separate driver. Audio and video signal should be addressed without any problem, but I'm skeptical about obtaining a full HD resolution.

  I have connected my laptop Satellite A500/031 to my Grundig LCD TV, however the image shown on the TV screen has a pink background and color pink.

  Hey Buddy,

  Have you tried another HDMI cable? If this is not you should do this and choose a cable of high quality for a good image quality.

  Also try to reset display driver settings as Akuma has suggested. In addition, you can also update your display driver. The latest version, you can always get on the official website of Toshiba.

  Have you noticed this problem on another TV too?

• Satellite A500 - sounds/images of default system lost after installing Win7

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500 with Windows Vista and upgrade to Windows 7. After my installation of Windows 7, I lost all my icons of Toshiba and sounds, as silent image appears so hitting the button mute on the keyboard and the beep on hitting the sound up/down button.

  Before installing, I took a backup of a file from Toshiba and tried to install apps from Toshiba in the TOSHIBA\TOSAPINS folder there. But still not get the default values of the system.

  Would be very grateful if someone could help me to restore those back.

  See you soon,.
  Vikram.

  Hello

  I assume you mean on the menu that appears with the FN keys

  Usually after installing Win 7, you must reinstall the VAP (value added package) and utility Support Flash Cards in order to get the keys FN working again.
  You can download the two page from Toshiba Europe tools.

  I m not very good if you get the same sound that was available under Vista as Win 7 takes care of the own system alerts/sounds.

  But after the installation of VAP and Flash Cards Support utility, you should see the images that appear with the FN keys.
