Satellite C55T - Ubuntu 14.04 and BIOS update

Ok. So. In my attempt to install Ubuntu 14.04 to dual boot on my Toshiba Satellite C55t somehow the installation disc erased from my hard drive before that I never even gave the ok to install. If I just install Ubuntu 14.04 on the windows computer's more about it. I want to put Windows on it. That is the problem.

The version of the BIOS, I currently have is 1.10 so there no start MSC option in a system configuration in the BIOS screens. If the computer has started a few things from CD and USB drives, but it does not start any ISOs windows I've tried. He did start the ISO I have created to update the BIOS to 1.30, but it won't actually run the BIOS flash, because apparently the application is not supported so that it won't run flash. Is a surefire way to install a version of Windows without the MSC boot option? If this is not the case, how can I update the BIOS to 1.30 with Ubuntu 14.04?

Please let me know. Also why the Toshiba didn't start CSM on 1.10 BIOS option? This is ridiculous.
Help, please! I don't want just a linux machine.

Hello

Seems there is some confusion about how to start the BIOS and Windows support.
8.X Windows boots fine in UEFI. In fact, a requirement of the Windows 8 logo program (which Toshiba works on all models of the EMEA) had to bear (and activate) secure boot which is a feature supported by the UEFI only - unlike the CSM boot mode that does NOT support secure boot. Then CSM is not normally enabled on delivered products Win8.X plant.
So what you're asking for (enabling boot MSC mode) is in fact not necessary.

As long as we are talking about Windows 8.X.

And since you talk about obtaining windows on the PC, I assume you mean the same version. And if the CSM is not there now, it was probably not before either - that should exclude from Windows 7.

What does that mean? Well, if you have the available recovery media, place 1 disc in and boot the PC, press F12 repeatedly at the TOSHIBA logo and choose to boot from the STRANGE (DVD...).

Now, the second question - update of the BIOS under Linux is not possible (within normal limits).
Just forget about it. Windows is the only platform that allows the firmware flashing for end-users.
And Furthermore, it is not necessary to get Windows installed.

Hope this clears some fog and allows movement forward.

  • Satellite L40 PSL48L: No noise and Bios Update after installing XP

    Hai guys

    I have a toshiba laptop psl48l-0200u and lowered the score on XP Professional, but realtek audio does not work.
    At the launch of the facility, there is an error message "realtek audio installation failed.

    I think that this may have to do something with bios - then I downloaded Bios for XP and extracted into a folder - but the update of the bios.

    Help, please
    Thank you

    What to first say if you installed XP on your laptop, then you should also update the BIOS to the version of Win XP.
    The BIOS update must be performed on Windows XP!
    Simply run the exe file and follow the instructions on the screen.

    Regarding the sound issue.
    Well this problem is not related to the BIOS, but you have not installed the XP patches!

    Hello

    Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
    And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

    You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

    I've also updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300 but I n t have a problem with the touchpad after the update.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L40 - killed the laptop BIOS update

    Recently I thought it would be better to download the latest drivers and upgrades for my Satellite pro L40 to keep up-to-date and partners the laptop that works smoothly. I couldn't have worse summer. Before I updated the new driver updates I thought it would be a good idea first update the Bios. So I downloaded the update of the Bios on the Toshiba site, unzipped the files and followed the online instructions for updating the BIOS. I double clicked on the BIOS file to run the update, the laptop says it was end the session, I waited and the Toshiba logo screen came. In the instructions, it says that I have to press F2 now and confirm that the date and time are correct. I should then press F9 to load all the default values and then press F10 to save and exit. At this point, the laptop must away to the loading screen, but... I got a black screen. IV turned off the computer and turn it back on, but still, I get a blank screen. The lights are on but know one's home.

    Could a mod/staff/Board Toshiba administrator please explain to me why I'm going to draw the consequences of my lack full on my face because I followed a form of direct teaching of personnel of Toshiba or... Please run me through the process of bring back my cell partners in life, before that I get my Crown snatched jewels. This isn't a laugh. An upgrade directly from the manufacturer is not intended to cause you problems!

    Please get back to me as soon as POSSIBLE. My first son moments of life (videos, photos) are on this laptop. That cannot be replaced. Please tell me that the laptop can be fixed...

    Hello Durks

    I'm really sorry to hear you I have this problem.
    To be honest, it is not easy to discuss about this because a lot of people on this forum with a similar or same problem reacts quite aggressive if they don t hear exactly the thing they want to hear.

    In any case, I just want to write my comment. Don t be worried about photos and other important data. You can remove the laptop HARD drive, put it in a small box of HDD SATA 2.5 and connect the HARD drive to the other PC / laptop as external device. You will have full access to all stored data. So you can do the backup.

    Update the BIOS.
    What to say at this point?
    I have checked the Toshiba download page and saw that the BIOS update is available for Windows XP Home edition and Vista pre-installed notebooks so I hope you ve chosen the right one. Anyway, it is not easy to fix screwed up in the BIOS. You hate me now, but I think you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Call them, explain the situation and ask what you can do about it.

    I hope you will fix this laptop soon.

    Good luck.

    Using the Toshiba Service Station, he warned me an update. The update is called "Satellite L670/L675, Satellite Pro L670, update BIOS Version 1.50". When I install the update, it gives me this error: "there was an error, please check below the elements.» More than 150 BIOS version. Battery capacity more than 10%. AC is attached.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    Firstly I have to say if you don t have any problems with your computer forget this update. BIOS update is required only if you really have problems, otherwise I don't such updated risky.

    Anyway, if you download the update of the BIOS, you will need to extract all files of archive zip first before start you. Also, make sure that you are logged on as administrator.

    I never put a password on that system and don't know how to get down the password.
    Is this a known issue with the 1.40 bios update or what, how also can this issue be resolved free of charge if the system is under warranty?

    It's really strange are you sure you used a good BIOS?

    However, there is only one real solution; you need the help of a technician of the ASP.

    The point is that it of not possible to remove the BIOS password without any help of ASP. Only ASP technician can remove it and how to do this.

    That's why ask ASP in your country a help!

  • Satellite A105 shift stop working after BIOS update

    I have a stack of boards of laptop of the A105 (Intel chipset) series that I received with the wrong BIOS. Both worked, and I updated the BIOS on them to solve CPU compatibility issues. After that, the shift keys stopped working and pressing Shift-A causes the power led to decrease in intensity. Return to ANY BIOS version, either by the Windows, CD or floppy disk of crisis recovery program (magic key is 'F', not 'B', 'Esc' or 'U'), does not solve the problem of the keyboard.

    To make things more confusing, I've noticed that single BIOS one that actually seems to correct the problem is version 1.50, which I have not seen available for any Tecra A7 or Satellite A100/A105, with the exception of a few 100, but the BIOS file is too small and cannot be loaded.

    Anyone has an idea why these cards Intel processor do that? Or did someone knows where I can get a usable version of BIOS 1.50?

    In the interest of this post, please consider my high level of competence. (In other words, I would be grateful for the people trying to help 'Replace the keyboard', but I have about a dozen keyboards, that everything I tried, and all work on other laptops. In addition, if you have just a theoretical solution, I'm certainly open to hearing. In addition, if a Toshiba tech would answer, I really appreciate it!)

    An update, it seems that the laptop from a different manufacture series show almost the same problem. There are certainly similarities of BIOS, since these Toshiba use the magic key to Fujitsu to trigger the block to start recovery from the crisis. I guess it's very likely that this problem is specifically a problem of Phoenix BIOS.

  • Satellite C660 - Freez after boot - corrupt BIOS update 1.7

    The Satellite C660 had start-up problems: freezing screen after startup and very, very slow. Also a HARD drive recovery did not help.

    I tried an update of the Bios and loaded the downloadable file that at Toshiba (version 1.7). The Bios update has not completed and now the laptop does not at all.

    The warranty is void, I now buy a chip of bios in China and I'm looking for now the bios file.

    It's all them very disappointing and a large size of time and money.

    > The Bios update has not completed and now the laptop does not at all.
    That s it Plains really looks like the module ROM was not properly flashed.
    I think it's a problem with the hardware, since you had problems before the update of the BIOS.
    I think that affected the procedure for updating the BIOS.

    > As the warranty is cancelled, I now buy a chip of bios in China and I'm now looking for the bios file.
    Forget it mate ROM module cannot be replaced in most cases the module ROM must be flashed with a disc of crisis

    Would recommend asking a Toshiba ASP for help and reflash the BIOS using the disc of the crisis.
    This should not be very expensive

    I will try to be very short with answers:
    1. If you use Windows XP Home edition on your laptop have BIOS update with the version 5.30
    2 this version of BIOS is available for days and it is possible that many people already tried. By the way: until Toshiba out something that is tested and verified.
    3. Unfortunately there is documentation about bugs and patches, but the fact is that Toshiba has designed the 5.30 version to support the features of Windows XP Home edition on the models of laptops designed Vista
