• Satellite C660-1TT - BIOS problems

  Hi all...

  I sat and would update the bios for my Toshiba Satellite C660-1TT (PSC1QE-01D006N5)

  Sloopy as I was, I left the computer to get a coffee, * obviously one of my children was there * and press a few buttons. This resulted in the computer 'frozen' after a while I was forced to turn off.

  Now change back the time and date each time I start the computer, and I can´t get the wifi to work.
  I tried to reinstall the bios again but then get the message that I already have the same or more recent bios and installation is complete.

  Someone who can tell if I wrong somehow the computer into thinking it is a newer version or the mabye bring in the former and then update?

  Grateful for any help! Robert

  Hello

  To my knowledge it is not possible to downgrade the BIOS in windows mode, because you will always have a notification, this new version is already installed.
  To my knowledge the ASP technician Toshiba may downgrade the BIOS but only using the traditional version of BIOS (BACK).

  But I recommend to test this workaround solution.
  Shut down the laptop. Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Now let the laptop disconnected for a longer period of time, I think about 3-4 hours
  Then plug the battery adapter and ac and access the BIOS by pressing F2 to turn on/off the unit.
  Here, you must set the default BIOS (F9) and save the changes.
  Now, start Notepad and check how it would work.

  Usually, the date and time resets because the CMOS battery is empty. But I can't imagine that this could be a problem here, however, you can reload the CMOS battery running the laptop on area for 18 to 20 hours. During this time the laptop must be ONE.

• Satellite C660-13R - BIOS update problem

  Hi all

  I was updating the BIOS on TOSHIBA SATELLITE C660-13R of 64-bit windows 7. Downloaded driver toshiba web. To halfway the portable installation hangs. I left it for 40 minutes to run, but he did not return to the normal state. As the motherboard fan began to move at high speed, I decided to take out the battery. Result when I power my laptop back I 1 beep from the motherboard and a black screen.

  Can someone help me please?

  Of course, the BIOS update procedure has not. Something was wrong during the update process and it seems that the EMRPOM module was not properly flashed.
  This is the reason why the laptop is no longer.

  Possible solution?
  Well, if EMPROM isn t damage, it should be possible to re-flashing the BIOS module once more, using special version of BIOS and crisis disk BIOS.
  Usually the authorized Toshiba maintainer in your country should be able to re-flash of the module using this disc of crisis.

  I also read in this forum that some people managed to re-flash EPROM module using some 3rd party crisis disk found somewhere in the internet but it still does not
  The ASP will therefore probably be your last resort

  However, to use the forums advanced search option to find related discussions on the crisis disk BIOS could be interesting for you

• Satellite L305D corrupt BIOS

  Hello guys,.

  I have problems with the satellite L305D (PSLC8U) friend. I've upgraded to windows 7. In support of product, I read that in order to use windows 7 I have to upgrade the bios of the laptop to the latest version (1.80).

  I tried to upgrade from Windows because it is how the upgrade utility works (once I have downloaded and run the utility started the upgrade automatically). At halfway through the computer upgrade became unresponsive and display deleted. I let it rest for a while and that nothing happened after half an hour I have pulled the plug and the battery.

  Now, when I turn the laptop on the screen is empty (even the screens backlight does not illuminate) the CD rom has a certain activity and nothing happens.

  I searched in many places and the method of recovery below and I try to follow this but nothing happens:

  "Using another computer if necessary do the following:

  (1) download the file for your model laptop BIOS "*.exe" since the Support section. Mine was: slm0v150.exe
  (2) extract the files from the file "*.exe".
  (3) locate the file that ends with ".fd", it's your actual BIOS file.
  * (for different brand BIOS, the file may have a different extension such as ROM or .bin)
  (4) rename your BIOS file to: "BIOS.fd" without the quotes.
  (5) format a USB Flash drive (FAT or FAT32) file system.
  (6) copy your 'BIOS.fd' newly named file in the root directory of the Flash drive. (Not inside all folders)

  On the damaged computer, follow these steps:

  (7) remove the battery, adapter sector and hard drive.
  (8) plug the Flash drive with your "BIOS.fd" file on the subject into a USB port.
  (9) while holding down the button Fn and F on your keyboard:
  (a) connect the adapter to your computer.
  (b) hold the Power button until the computer turns on.
  (c) release the power button and the two keys once you hear the fan turn.
  (10) see your flashing, Flash Drive LED wait that your computer turns off and remove the Flash drive.
  (11) replace the battery and hard drive.
  (12) you're computer should be all set! »

  In my case, the laptop does not access the USB key (the led on the USB key does not blink).

  I also tried to use the same flies on a CD, and the only thing that happens, is that it reads the CD and then nothing.

  I even tried to use the flashing the BIOS utility on American support to Toshiba site where the utility allows me to create a CD bootable and Flash the bios from the CD. The same result.

  The laptop uses the insyde BIOS.

  Please help me because I'm desperate

  Hi hapipaz,

  BIOS update requires the VAP (value added package) and all the security tools should be put off.

  As far as I know that the ROM module must be flashed again with a disc of crisis.
  This can be done by agents of Toshiba.

  TNX

  In the worst case you will need to contact the Toshiba authorised service provider in order to solve this problem.

  To my knowledge, a special crisis disk BIOS is required for reflashing the EMPRO module.
  Some people were abele to create this disc using a few 3rd party apps but it wasn't always so I guess you have to contact service engineer has set.

• Re: Satellite C660-119 - BIOS fail

  Hello.

  We had trouble with our battery so tried everything to also update the BIOS.
  The laptop had no anyway as updated bios n since 2012.

  So went to Toshiba downloaded the right one. Arrived at programming block 17 and then nothing the froze.fan system remained on. It's on during some time so had to pull the plug before it overheated.

  So obviously tried to pull up again. White screen. Lights fine. DVD drives work towers fans. And a beep when it detects RAM. Tried various combinations without success. The so-called support of tosh.

  They cited 187 if it takes reflash and 275 to replace the motherboard.
  Now don't not truism paying I'd rather buy an a Lil nee

  Basically, as everyone has ideas how to do it yourself before I go on it

  I don t think you will be able to fix it but check

• 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

• Update BIOS - black screen now on Satellite C660

  First of all Hello first post. I have 2 laptops computers C660 girls 1 satellite crashed a while a go so she began using mines. Mine C665D now broke screen can see some of the screen. Decided to try first permutation screen not switch different connectors then swapped hardy Bank 665 to 660 and clean install win7 pro. Was good, but had no network drivers. Do not have another pc iPads allows only a bit difficult to download driver swapped so Hardrive back download driver 660 exchanged again for driver loaded all good work. Reading tips says update all drivers. Started at the top of the page of the Toshiba driver and did the bios update. Crash! During installation stop 'corrupts' BIOS and now will not start. Push button power led both come the fan starts and then just stops. Fact a little research, and it seems that the bios flash was not a good option, too bad it's on the driver download page, won't happen again. I tried to leave without battery f2 etc but still stops. Any help would be appreciated as I am defiantly out of my depth now. The two pieces currently in the laptop, but I'm pretty well on the menu drop-down put back together thing, tempted to bin then all but both will see if you guys can help.

  was soon Blowen

  A bit of an update might help others?
  It seems that I need Ref lash the bios. From what I had read the reading process.
  1. make a bootable usb stick (at this stage now)
  2. download the bios. I downloaded back wi to be able to extract the files. There are 4 files as follows.
  1 bios. ROM 4 356 kalonji
  2 BiosCheck 1 kalonji (it is a Notepad I read file)
  3. ec.ROM 128 kalonji
  4 configuration 1389 kalonji
  Not exactly what file to be copied to a guess, I would say 1 but maybe all necessary?

  3. remove the hard drive and optical drive
  4 remove battery insert bootable usb, apparently, it is imperative that you keep it F key kept in then plug power on keep pressing the button F let go after a certain time (30 seconds not sure how long I'll try) release the F key. If you have a USB stick with a light if it lights it is working, wait just restart the system and I hope that you can now enter the rest of the system.
  I got my old Acer laptop installed fresh closet 7 win was running very slow spen so much more sorting, day was services using 100% cpu, Windows update, this turned out well and now pretty well I hope make bootable usb and put on the Flash Toshiba bios.
  Feel free to add if I missed something.
  Thank you

• Satellite C660 - cannot install BIOS 1.50

  Hey.

  I just bought a new Satellite C660 24 hours. I have installed all updates and programs for the PC to run more smooth, but I can not install the Bios 1.50. It gives me an error when I try to install it.
  When I go to see the latest version of the bios it say it is 1.20.

  How can this be repaired?

  See you soon.

  Hey,.

  Why do you update the BIOS? You have problems with your new laptop C660?
  I mean the BIOS update is always a bit risky, so I just wanted to update so it s really necessary, otherwise the BIOS update is not important and you can forget it.

  Just have fun with your new laptop computer and enjoy! :)
