Satellite L10-119: update the BIOS clears and RTC battery is not

I upgraded my Satellite L10-119 with new 250 GB HARD drive and the BIOS update. The laptop worked well.
After two months a probem follow arrived - only first 137 Gb(2^48) of the disk is accessible.
I've discovered:

1. If I flash BIOS again and the computer restarted after flashing, the upper part of the HARD drive is accessible for a short time or until I restart again.
2. a show of internal clock 01/01/1988 if I disconnect and connect a main battery.

So I guess that it is a problem with the RTC battery (L10-119 is 2.5 years old)

I tried to charge the battery of the CCF by connecting the laptop power for a long time, but this does not solve the problem.
Does anyone know what can I do else (except visit ASP)?

Your guess was right, and I also, think that the problem with your BIOS settings always clear RTC battery.
In other words, the RTC is dead.

Battery charging will not succeed, because he can't keep the load.
It's probably not as easy to replace then with desktop computers, so I advise you to contact local ASP, and all must be dismantled.

I'm sorry to tell you, it's the only method I know to get your laptop to life.

But the last 10 days of the BIOS date and time keeps restarting by default whenever I turned off or in hibernation laptop. My battery is dead, but I'm not, it reloads all the time and restart the BIOS after that I have unplug the phone charger.

    I put t know if you can restore this option but you should access the BIOS and try to define again the default settings t.
    Don t forget to save the settings if you exit BIOS ;)

    But I really don't understand why you have updated the BIOS. If the laptop is running without any problems a BIOS update is not necessary!
    Therefore, never change a system up and running, you know? ;)

    Use the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings and change the order of boot devices. This option is under the STARTUP tab. Otherwise, you can insert the recovery CD when the unit is turned OFF. Turn it on and immediately press the C button. keep it down for a few seconds and unit is forced from the CD/DVD drive.

What happens with that, & how do I fix the problem?

    Hello

    Latest version of the BIOS for your PC back in 2007 so it will hardly make a difference with Windows 7 performance.

  • Satellite Pro U500 - update the BIOS does not start on Windows 7

    Try to update BIOS on Satellite Pro U500 PSU9CA. The download site says there is a new version available, after that download and run the program nothing happens. You can see the Winflash process in the Task Manager but it never appears"". If this has yet been tested by Toshiba?

    There are no instructions, no readme or whatever it is.

    Did somebody get the BIOS update?

    Hi torana.

    As far as I know Toshiba always test their drivers or updates tools before they will be released and I have never had a problem with the new updates, so I think that the problem is lreated to your laptop, maybe something wrong with your installation.

    In General before you start the update of the BIOS you have to decompress all the files in archive zip and launch the update as an administrator.
    Also make sure that the value added package is installed and no firewall is not blocking the update program.

    Hello

    First as you probably don t know, Toshiba doesn't support the other operating systems like Microsoft Windows. This means that, also, the BIOS has been configured only for the use of Windows and not Linux.
    Secondly, as far as I know Toshiba public doesn't any BIOS details (source of the kernel configuration, etc.).

    > don t know the exact type of the IDE controller.
    The L100 doesn't support IDE controller but a SATA controller ;)

  • Satellite A215-S4817 - update the BIOS

    Hi, I'm trying to find the update of the BIOS for a Satellite A215-S4817. I tried several BIOS updates for numbers of similar but not exact model without success.

    In addition, this Web of Toshiba site does not recognize my serial number, and it cannot complete the application auto-defaut either. Maybe I have a more serious problem? The real problem is that my laptop will crash occasionally (screen goes completely black), but a hard restart to fix it. I was told I need to update BIOS, but maybe I need something different.

    Thanks for your help!

  • Satellite A500 - cannot update the BIOS (error message)

    Hello

    I have a PSAR3A - 02U002 Satellite A500 with BIOS version 1.9 is installed.

    After reading several forums, I discovered that there may be a BIOS (v2.0) update available to resolve the current problem, these Satellites have with overheating cooling switch down.

    Excited, I have tried to install the new BIOS - this is what I get:

    "There is an error occurred, please check below the elements."
    BIOS version more than 200.
    Battery capacity more than 10%.
    AC is fixed. »

    First of all, my BIOS version is 190, no more than 200. Second, I find it very difficult to believe that the battery must be less than 10%. And third, I don't see what that remove the power supply cable will do.

    Please note that this update of the BIOS found on Toshiba's European website, but v2.0 claims to be a worldwide release. I then checked on the Australian site and there is no BIOS for my model. I don't know how to interpret this contradiction.

    Help, please!

    Hi umm_excuse_me,

    So I think that BIOS update is not available at this time for you. European and Australian models have different model numbers, so I doubt that the update of the BIOS is always the same. The pieces of equipment may also be different.

    In your case, I would wait until the BIOS was released on the page Australian too.

    By the way: where did you read that this update was release in the world?
