    Finally use this disk to start.

    Hello

    Did you choose the good BIOS update for your model? Was it for Satellite L300 PSLB8E?

    After the BIOS update you must always load the default settings. Maybe a bad BIOS setting is causing this BSOD.

    Hello

    What BSOD you get exactly?

    Satellite L300, you need SATA drivers to install Windows on a drive of Microsoft because it s equipped to a SATA HDD. The driver you need you can find in the Intel Storage Manager package on the Toshiba site.

    If you don t have an external floppy drive you can use nLIte to create your own with these drivers installation disk.

  • Application of Satellite L300 PSLB2E update Bios

    Hello. I'm sorry but I don't know where to ask for a request for update of the Bios.

    As we all know that x 3100 is a new graphics chipset and Intel is developing to make it worked better and better.
    Currently, the site of intel, there is a new driver 15.9 but it has not been updated on the Support from Toshiba site.

    But I managed to install the driver manually, I can't update the Vbios version * 1588 * such as suggested by Intel (Vbios can only be updated by the TSR and the main bios version) to fix the bug of corruption of the memory and BSOD that exist in 1436.

    I hope Toshiba will have a new update of the Bios (Vbios is sufficient for just) to fix the current bugs caused by the Intel Chipset.

    Thank you.

    Are you talking about the chip for desktop PC Intel or chipset for laptops?
    I m not a L300 owner but to my knowledge, the L300 supports the Mobile Intel GL960 chipset.

    You know that Toshiba portable computers are equipped with the BIOS that has been specially configured for the only series from Toshiba. Thus, it also manages its own characteristics.
    You know that Toshiba use own graphics drivers.
    Original published by graphic manufacturer (Intel, nVidia, ATI) graphics drivers are not the same as drivers Toshiba.
    So Don t mix it. It s recommended to use the graphics drivers from the Toshiba page (not Intel)!

    With regard to the update of the BIOS;
    I noticed that from time to time (any series of notebook) BIOS updates are released, then published on the page of the driver. I think it's only a matter of time when the new update will be available.

    See you soon

  • Re: Satellite L300-11V - updated after the BIOS no longer start

    Hi guys, I've updated my BIOS today with 'InsydeFlash' with nothing open and everything looked perfect, said the program was a success and restarted.

    Now the laptop looks like its broke, it lights up but nothing. However, it tries to read the CD in the status bar that resembles his tent to recover himself. Any ideas? The problem is that it's barely out of warranty

    Hello!

    Akuma may be good but try this workaround too:
    Remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait an hour and after that connect the two devices again. Now, you can try to restart the laptop.

    If it doesn t work it seems that, during the BIOS update something goes wrong and the module ROM needs to be reflashed. But it is possible to an authorized service provider

  • Satellite L300 - webcam does not work after BIOS update

    I've recently updated the BIOS to 2.2, and the webcam has stopped working. He disappeared, and there is an unknown device in Device Manager in USB bus controller.

    I've tried everything, even with the new Vista OS pure but nothing as there is no webcam I have installed the drivers but not recognised so I would like if I can get the BIOS to 1.5 and fix the webcam. If I can cos I need. Is this possible?
    TNX

    Hello

    I put t think its BIOS problem.
    First the unknown device (webcam) appears in the Device Manager and it means that a device has been recognized by the system and the BIOS.
    The only reason why its listed as unknown devices is: the driver is not installed correctly.

    After update BIOS, you have to put back the BIOS to default. Access BIOS by pressing F2 and in the BIOS, you can use the button to default to F9 and F10 to save the changes.

    After that you should start the machine and need to go to Device Manager.
    Mark the unknown device and delete it from the list (if possible)
    Go to control panel-> software control and check the list of software for webcam software (from chicony). Uninstall this software if its part of the list.

    Now, restart the laptop.
    Clean the operating system using CCleaner and install the correct webcam for Vista software. Note: pay attention to the 32-bit version or 64-bit.

    If the installation fails, try the Toshiba Recovery disk and define the notebook back to factory settings.

    By the way: decommissioning of BIOS is not possible because the old BIOS is not downloadable.

  • Satellite L300 - after update BIOS BSOD appears

    Hello world

    I have a question about it. I have a Toshiba L300 with Intel GM965 chipset. I've been works very well with this laptop after using the Bios v1.40.

    However, recently, after an upgrade of the Bios to v1.50, I started to get the BSOD (quite often) in Vista that I had in v1.30 bios.

    If you have this problem and find the solution somewhere, please let me know. Much appreciate.

    Moreover, there are some problems with BSOD caused by the chipset GM965 reviewed on the site Internet of Dell and Intel. Most people say it's because the Vbios (video bios). The fact that after upgrading my bios to 1.50, the Vbios from my toshiba is always (most recent intel is 1572) 1436.

    If you have a newer version of the vbios, please let me know when you bought your laptop. Much appreciate.

    Here is an exchange of views on Intel and Dell website:
    http://software.Intel.com/en-us/forums/user-community-for-Intel-graphics-technology/topic/59127
    http://software.Intel.com/en-us/forums/user-community-for-Intel-graphics-technology/topic/61093/

    Moreover, for those who cannot upgrade the driver Intel site, please uninstall the previous driver and install the new driver of the installation file (or do it manually). Contact me for more details if you need.

    I'm looking forward to having good and clear on your part answers. I don't like the answers- and made-up. (I'm not a fool).

    Thank you

    Hello

    I'm still looking for answers about Vbios. Hope can hear someone here.

    In the meantime, I would like to use this thread to discuss chipset GM965 and question, you can meet with her. Obviously, the driver supported by Toshiba is an older version and is missing many features. Some people say it is not safe to use other pilots, but it is false. There is nothing wrong if you use the original equipment manufacturers, as they know more of 3 companies.

    Intel has released a new chipset GM965 - X 3100 driver to:

    Download: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2800
    Covering memo: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/17122/eng/relnotes_winvista64_gfx.htm

    with many correction of bugs (including for the extended monitors).

    To get the best performance new driver. You must uninstall the current driver on your machine manually from the Device Manager. You can then run the whole upward.

    Don't forget to add a light T & L SW for some software to improve their performance. (Look for how to improve x 3100 perforamce on this site support or the answer that and I'll show you how). For x 3100, SW mode will allow you to have some executives rate more and you can play your games as well as make your graphic works.

    Kind regards.

  • Satellite L300 - after the BIOS update I have a black screen

    Welcome! I have a big problem.

    I improve my Satellite L300 BIOS to the old version that I download on the official website of Toshiba. I turn on the update program and after about minute, the system will shoot down and on the screen I see black screen only. The light on the drive flashes green and the led in the DVD-ROM flashes orange. I have no idea what's going on.

    Please help me!

    Hello

    It sounds like this during the update of the BIOS, that something was going wrong. I think that the ROM module must be reflashed or in the worst cases, the motherboard should be replaced.

    In any case, you should contact an ASP for help. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module and solve this problem.
    If you don't know where is the nearest ASP, you can search on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) - after update BIOS no longer start

    Hello..
    Please, help me to overcome this problem.

    I downloaded the latest BIOS for my Satellite L300 PSLB8E. The previous BIOS was 1.90 but I was facing some nework of error so I thought to upgrade the BIOS can help solve. I have download a new BIOS which is the exe 2.10, its installed successfully, and then shut down, but never started again. I tried to start it several times. I tried all the keys. I don't see a power led and two battery light.

    I don't know what to do now. I have a recovery disk but it also does not work. I'm stuck. II had built a bunch of emails to answer that I am lost now.

    Please help me someone.

    Hi dhaval2000in,

    Unfortunately, I think the case is clear: something was wrong because the BIOS update and now your laptop can start t more :(

    The Toshiba Recovery disk will not help you because it doesn't contain any BIOS programs it contains only an image of recovery of Windows with all the drivers and flashing tools.

    In my opinion, please contact an authorized service provider in your country to get rid of it because the guys do reflash ROM. module
    I m that you can clarify this issue with the technicians and then you can use your laptop again :)
