• Satellite A500 emit after bios update 1.50

  Hey guys and girls,

  I have some problems after the update of the bios. Before the update my laptop has been the scene of much smoother and everything was fine and dandy until Tempro told me to update my bios. The problem is that after the update, the temperature seems to be considerably higher as usual when I play the game (I am a gamer) and also all the games I play seems to be much slower than before (lower, gal frame rate). Before the update I could play Dragon Age Origins with 1366 x 768 with 4 x anti-aliasing and the only one that I could get the same performance with the graphic parameter above is on 800 x 600. Now, it is certainly a big problem for someone who is a graphics junkie when it comes to games.

  * What do you think I should do? *

  A. downgrade my bios for when I bought everything first? (I don't know what version of bios is if anyone knows the stock bios?)
  B. perform HARD drive recovery?
  C. clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

  My laptop computer spec:

  Model name: Satellite A500
  Part number: PSAR3E-00N005EN
  Serial number: X9206227K
  OS version: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition
  BIOS version: 1.50
  Physical memory: 4096MB RAM
  Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 230 M

  Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

  Hi mate

  I think you had a version of BIOS 1.30
  In older versions of the BIOS update are not available on the Toshiba driver download page. Only ASP (partner) has access to these early BIOS versions

  In any case, I found an interesting thread:

  Hello

  ACPI-> Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
  ACPI defines hardware and software interfaces that allow focus on the OS configuration and power management to enumerate and configure motherboard devices.
  For example: ACPI is necessary for the standby and hibernation mode.

  Now your question; the new BIOS has been updated and configured to using VISTA.
  It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

  Hey, Carol, welcome to the forum! :)

  Don t misunderstand me, but may I ask why you n t post more information about your problem?
  Important to know is that your laptop you have exactly and where to download the updated BIOS and for what model. This is important information.

  By the way: have you ever tried to load the default settings in the BIOS after update?

• Black screen on the Satellite A100-712, after Bios Update

  I bought a new Satellite A100-712 and I did a bios upgrade, everything was fine in windows and restart the laptop got it is pasted on the toshiba black screen that appears when you turn on the lapto.

  Any suggestions please, I would be very grateful

  It doesn't sound good. I did the BIOS update on two laptops A100 and everything was OK. Sorry, but I think that you will not be able to do anything alone. I recommend you contact the service authorized in your country as soon as possible.

• Satellite L630 dead after BIOS update

  Hello

  I have a problem with a Toshiba Satellite L630 laptop model PSK00E-017019EN (British model).

  An analysis of software Toshiba recommends an update of the BIOS and that I had a few problems with the laptop, I decided to let it run... big mistake!

  The laptop will now not enter bios is effectively dead.

  I downloaded different versions of the crisis Phoenix Recovery Disk (that will build a bootable USB key with MINIDOS. SYS, PHLASH16. EXE and a generic BIOS. WPH) and have also downloaded the latest version of the BIOS on the toshiba site.

  The downloaded BIOS Toshiba is an exe SL630_L635_WIN_B140.exe file that will extract the following files using WINRAR (I tried also pick up the files in %Temp%, after you run the exe with the same result).

  The files that I get are:

  BB10140. FD (4170kb)

  Ding.wav (104 KB)

  InsydeFlash.exe (764 KB)

  iscflash.dll (1760 KB)

  iscflash.sys (14 KB)

  iscflashx64.sys (23 KB)

  and platform.ini (9kb)

  I expect to see the real bios in the form xxxx.rom or xxxx. WPH so that I could add this to the bootable flash drive to reflash the bios.

  So my real question, can someone direct me to where I can download the correct BIOS. ROM file for this laptop and also where I can get the right version of the software Phoenix crisis Recovery Disk.

  Also could you confirm the correct key sequence to start on crisis Recovery flash drive... I've seen talk of the F and B FN FN (both used without battery and plugging in the adapter, then power button / stop)... the FN routine F seems to start the Flash Player, but obviously without the right file WPH will not solve the problem.

  Thank you

  Phil

  To be honest, I don t think that BIOS ROM module needs to be replaced.
  In my opinion the ROM module must be flashed again using a special disc of crisis of the BIOS.
  I recommend you contact Toshiba service and pay a small fee for the flash ROM module.
  It is much better solution to handle the motherboard.

• Satellite A500 overheating after upgrade to 64-bit windows

  Hey,.

  I just upgraded to 64-bit and my GPU temperature was very high, around 60 degrees Celsius. When I start a game, it goes up to 107. When I had 32-bit running that I never had this problem, I could play a game without the laptop computer overheating. I thought at first it was a problem with the drivers, or that im missing something.
  I've updated the bios, every other driver that I could find for my laptop computer and repeatable reinstalled the drivers for video card without change.
  Now, I tried to find how to change the fan settings, I noticed the fan starts to run fast enough to hear at 55ish degrees and I want to decrease the aswells parameter to increase the speed of the fan.
  I tried Speedfan, and like 5 other programs where none of them worked.
  I'm also afraid if I just reinstall 32 bits that I'm having the same problem, because there might be some kind of driver or utility, that I lost in the format.

  Is there a way I can fix this? Is there a Toshiba utility or something that I might have missed?
  The A500 is not compatible with 64 bit? The settings of the fan can be changed?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Buddy,

  This stop code means you use a bad SATA controller driver. The installation of XP, to integrate the SATA driver for install XP. There is a lot of discussion on this issue here in the forum.

  For Intel chipset, you will need to download Intel Storage Manager of Toshiba's official site and follow the instructions here to reinstall Windows with the SATA drivers:

  Is this upgrate secure?

  > This new victory of update 2.00 solve this problem?
  Question: Lighting of the keyboard work on the first day of purchase?

  If so, the question is not related to the BIOS.

  Second: the lighting can be turned on and off in the BIOS.
  Have you checked the settings there?

  Third: have you checked something in the software?
  Maybe reinstalling the VAP (value added package) would be useful

• Some problems with the LAN on Satellite L10 card after BIOS update

  Hello

  I have a problem with my satellite L10. Map does not work after the installation of the new network of edge of Bios (2.80).
  I tried it on Linux, BSD and WinXp. OS see my net card.
  I can even install parameters and ping 127.0.0.1 and my ip.

  But all the other pool spoke to me query time-out.

  Help me please.

  Hello

  What to say I put t think that this could be linked to the BIOS. First of all, as you said that the LAN card is recognized correctly in the device if Manager she s works well!

  However, you could try to access the BIOS and could set the BIOS default settings. Don t forget to save changes to BIOS ;)

  In addition, it would be advisable to reinstall the NIC driver. The Toshiba driver page provides the Realtek LAN driver v5.618.1015.2004.

• My Satellite L300-110 hangs after BIOS update

  My Satellite falls down after I updated the BIOS. The old version of my Satellite L300 - 110 (PSLB0E) BIOS was 1.40 and upgrade to 1.50.
  From there on, my system hangs over and over again.

  Any help please. I cannot install Office Enterprise 2007, cannot defragment all my readers.
  Is there an option to restore changes made to my BIOS?
  Help!

  The default settings in the BIOS load after the update?

  You can reinstall Windows with the Toshiba Recovery disk? First back up your data because the HARD drive will be formatted and then start the installation of recovery.

  A restoration to the previous version of the BIOS is not possible, because on the Toshiba site is only the most recent (1.50) BIOS. Only an ASP (authorized service provider) can do a restore.
  You can search for an ASP here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an ASP.

  I don't know Mr. but you did a backup of the old BIOS? Maybe you can Flash this back.

• After BIOS update Intel speed step does not not on Satellite A500

  I upgraded my Satellite A500 PSAM3E model to the most recent BIOS 1.50, now the Intel speed step does not!

  My CPU is always 2 GHz +, I have chagned power Plan to balanced, but no change... with precedent the CPU was about 800 MHz.
  When I try to change the Windows 7 power management and set the maximum CPU at 50 or 80% performance, the system hangs.

  Hey Szaby59,

  What older BIOS version were you using before update to 1.50?

  I also use maximum CPU performance option for ecomode (50%), but it does not work properly.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if use you your own Windows installation or factory settings. Normally, after using the Toshiba Recovery disk you don t have install Toshiba tools more. Everything is preinstalled on your laptop.

• 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!

  Tony

  > 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!
