• Hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS - Equium A60

  Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. When I remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that does not work either. So I suspect the IDE controller has disappeared, but can I do to confirm this? I wish there was an option in the BIOS to force detection. I updated the BIOS but still the same.

  This laptop is only just out of warranty, so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there other options at my disposal?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Neil,

  Unless there is some physical\problem with the cable/connector hard drive, then it is most likely that you will have a new mainboard for your laptop. I suggest you to contact an authorized service partner and ask them to check your laptop and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Then you can try to shop for less expensive alternatives.

  Kind regards

• A SSD from OCZ Agility 3 disc works with a dv9700T? Mine is not recognized by the BIOS.

  I bought a 120 GB OCZ SSD Agility 3 disc to install in my laptop the dv9700T CTO.  The drive is not recognized by the BIOS when it is installed in the Bay of 1 or 2, but is recognized when connected via USB as a secondary drive.  The drive works fine in a different computer, so I know the drive works.  There seems to be a problem with the SATA (ICH8) controller.

  Someone at - it any information on that?  Would love to get the drive works in my laptop.

  Thank you.

  Lloyd

  If you have a HARD drive installed in the secondary Bay and the OCZ SSD in the first Bay, the dv9700t starts and works very well.

• Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 - new SSD is not recognized in the BIOS settings

  Hello

  I just bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 2-8 and I also bought Samsung SSD 850 evo 250 GB.
  When I try to install the SSD drive rather my drive HARD, the BIOS show 'none' in the category of SSD/HDD (BIOS not recognize the SSD).

  Please help me.
  My bios version is: 2.00
  someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V and then the BIOS recognize the SSD drive, so perhaps someone here can send me a download link for version 1.2 of my model L50 - B - 2-8.
  Thank you

  someone told me that I have to downgrade my version of BIOS to 1.2V

  And who? I mean you are sure that this person was right?
  From my point of view of the few there is no reason why beginning version BIOS should recognize the SSD and the latest version of the BIOS is not...

  But BIOS v1.2 for series Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 PSKTQE there is no v2.0 (at this time) is the latest version and previous versions of BIOS are not available for this series.

  Also, I guess you must slimply check different SSD drive... it might be possible that the other SSD drive would be recognized correctly.

  By the way: I am owner of Evo 850 SSD drive and as I remember, I had to update the firmware of the SSD drive to use it correctly in my other laptop (not the Toshiba device)

• Satellite L100: CD/DVD drive is not recognized in the Bios or workstation

  Satellite L100 - 170 No.PSLA3E model 02501QEN under Win XP.

  The icon of the CD/DVD drive has disappeared from the desktop and is not listed in the Device Manager or showing in the BIOS.
  There is power to the drive and the tray ejects OK
  I tried to use the ease of adding new hardware in the Control Panel, but it does not list a CD player.
  I removed the disc and then re - it sitting, but it made no difference.

  I used the restoration of the system for the last available date 26 January 08, but it does not restore the CD player... and I have none, he worked at that time.
  I don't think it's a faulty drive, because he is picking up power and when you insert a CD, it starts as if she was about to read the disc, but nothing appears on the screen.

  The laptop belongs to a child with autism and all I can get out he is "I don't know" when asked what happened to the laptop.
  Sorry I don't have any other information.

  Can anyone help.

  Thank you

  Well, usually if the CD/DVD drive doesn t appear in the BIOS or BIOS cannot recognize the ODD then chances are that the CD/DVD drive is malfunctioning.

  But the best way to check this is a new installation of the OS. You should try to boot from a bootable XP CD.
  If the laptop would be able to boot from the CD, then the material is ok.

• Satellite M40-276 - memory not detected in the Bios upgrade

  Hi people!

  New kid on the block!

  I have a client with a toshiba Satellite m40-276. I've updated his memory to give it a little more to play with...

  Went into the bios to see if everything was OK but no projected additional memory. I removed the new and old memory and put in the new 1 GB module and restart the computer.
  The bios has not yet changed the size of the old memory?

  Went to windows and of course that the memory has been detected it normally?
  I added the other memory module and went into the bios again, but no change it?

  Windows, however, recognized that the two modules?

  His computer is the same bios to factory and has never been updated.

  My questions are... why the bios doesn't recognize the upgrade memory? It will help in upgrading the bios?

  Enjoy all the suggestions I can get on this issue.

  Thank you

  Generally, if you upgrade RAM using tested compatible modules, that should be recognized correctly.
  We do not know what modules you use, and I guess that there is a compatibility issue.

  RAM on Satellite M40 276 can scale up to 2 GB of RAM and compatible modules are:
  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

• Satellite C855-1j4j does not turn on - the Bios Update interrupted

  Hello

  I did the update on my laptop Satellite C855-14 days, and all of a sudden the power went out,
  now the pc running either party but not nothing DON'T get PAST...

  What should do?

  + The message was edited: message has already been translated.

  From my point of few the EPROM module must be re-flashed once more with special BIOS crisis recovery disk.

  Usually, this procedure could be done only by authorized service provider available in your country.

  But I found an interesting announcement about how to flash the BIOS on U400 series.
  See the last post [here: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=62852]

  But I don't very well if this info would be useful and if it would work in your laptop to Mr. However, in case this would not work, contact the ASP from Toshiba for help

• 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

• Satellite C660D-104 does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I installed the latest version of the bios on my computer Satellite C660D-104, but it has not restarted.

  Where is the place to do a reset?

  Under the ram I have any triple x or B499

  I can not find, can you help me please?

  Thank you

  BIOS update has not this means that the ROM module (where the BIOS is stored) isn t flashed properly.
  As far as I know that this problem could be solved by flashing module ROM using Toshiba BIOS disk of the crisis.
  I guess Toshiba authorized service provider to have this disc of crisis and able to reflash the ROM

• Equium A60-173 does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello people,

  I downloaded a BIOS updated toshiba for my Equium A60 - 173 and while it was loading on, restarted my laptop. Now, whenever I turn it on, the power light comes on for a few seconds, there is nothing on the screen and then it turns off again. I'm really worried, I've done some serious damage. I know a bit of the BIOS, but not that much. I need help, this is how I put a BIOS on here if I can't turn it on and the current one is damaged. Is it possible to get the loaded BIOS on without being able to turn it on?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

  Concerning
  James

  You could try to remove the battery, wait 2 minutes and then go back, however he only its not very likely that your BIOS update was not successful. If I remember correctly when I flashed my A60-181 this process takes about 10 minutes. If your laptop prematurely reloaded until the program has finished, I'm afraid you have no choice but to send new to Toshiba to be fixed.

• Satellite L500D PSLK0A does not start after the Bios Update

  I've had trouble with an "(ne répond pas) error ' while I was on IE8, so I looked up a few forums that all suggested I go to the manufacturers website and update the drivers for my computer."

  So I logged on the site of Toshiba Australia, put in all my details model numbers and a list of updates came.
  Great, I thought.

  1 was an upgrade of the Bios, so I clicked on the link and let the machine do its thing.
  Now I can't start my machine.

  How can I fix it? Can I downgrade my bios to what it was?

  Thank you

  Hello

  If your laptop isn't the answer (I mean you won't see anything on the screen) then this means that your updates to the BIOS in the wrong way.
  This means the module ROM BIOS was flashed note correctly.

  In this case, you will need professional help to an ASP in your country.

  Good luck

• new drive HARD Seagate Barracuda not recognized in the BIOS

  Hello

  The Inspiron 530 desktop computer BIOS does not recognize my new HARD drive. It's a Seagate Barracuda 500 GB (ST3500413AS). I try to reinstall Vista, but installation can't find a drive with 3.9 GB. Wrong type of drive in the BIOS found, I think that.

  Tried several things, but no results: check the BIOS, but with automatic selection drive only to find a 4 GB (wrong type), updated the BIOS drive (now 1.0.18), tried several drivers with startup etc.

  Think I need a good driver, but on the site Web of Seagate, they say that there is no firmware for this drive.

  can someone help me?

  THX, David

  Thanks for all the support.

  It wasn't a problem with the SATA 3 or something like that, but the HARD drive was missing. There is no other choice. Come back with my HARD drive (and information) to the store and finally got a new. I hope that the other works :)

  THX and greetings
