  I tried at home, Proffessional and even a vista upgrade disc and nothing works.

  So I really need to know what went wrong and how to fix it.

  Hello

  To me, this looks like a serious hardware problem.
  If you are not able to reinstall the operating system on the HARD drive then some of the equipment should work.
  It of difficult to say what role could be faulty we can assume only what could be wrong

  If the BSOD appears the first part that should be checked is RAM module.
  The faulty RAM memory may be the reason for BSOD and therefore, it would be interesting to know if the new RAM would solve this problem
  You can delete only one module of RAM and could try to start the laptop comes with an installed module.

  If it doesn't, then you need a help of a technician for laptop
  Guys could check essential components such as the CPU or the motherboard

• Satellite L300D BSOD after upgrade to Windows 7

  I got this laptop (Satellite L300D) for a little more than a year with windows vista (32-bit) running and there were no problems. However, I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 (x 64) and became the problems since the first reboot.

  On the first reboot after installing windows 7, the computer off just after the "Starting Windows" screen Turn on again took me to the repair of the system where he performed a system restore and I was able to start successfully even once. I thought that the problem had something to do with the automatic updates, so I disabled the and tried to restart to see if the problem has been corrected. This time, after the "Starting Windows" screen I got a BSOD of unrecoverable system error. After several attempts to reboot and multiple attempts to repair system (which usually says she didn't) it started correctly again.

  This problem has been going for about 3 weeks now and it is quite irritating. The results of the system of compensation for claims that a "Boot critical file is corrupt", but it starts eventually after several attempts to start. He also has a habit of turning at random during the race (it happens about once or twice a day). So from now on, whenever I chaque fois que je tente tries to start my computer it shuts down after the start screen or give the BSOD and restarts and the only way to make it work seems to be to keep trying to start and hope for a successful boot of the system upward (this happens finally after a few failed attempts).

  I did some research on this and came to [this | 1251 http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?modelFilter=L300D-ST3501&rpn=PSLC8U&category=&selCategory=3&moid=222 & os = & ct = DL & selFamily = 1073768663] page. I think that's exactly what my problem is (need to update the BIOS), but if I understand correctly installing windows to do this only for 2000/xp/vista and I am unable to use the second option to boot from the disc as I get the BSOD before he gets to that point. I should try the windows install option although I am running windows 7 or is there another way to update the BIOS? Or I'm off completely and the problem is with something else?

  I wasn't sure what information I would like to add to this post so if need more information please let me know.

  Thanks in advance

  Edit: Oops, just realized the page I linked is not link to exactly what I had opened. I do not speak of 'critical BIOS updates for Windows 7 64-bit' under 'support form '.

  Hello

  First of all, it would be interesting to know what code BSOD, you get exactly. Can you post this information useful? Normally, on the Microsoft Knowledge Base, you can find additional information about most of the BSOD codes and so you can start to solve this problem.

  BSODS are often associated with drivers or RAM/HDD. The latter, you can check with special diagnostic tools, Memtest86 for RAM and Drive Fitness Test for the HARD drive. These two tools are free and you can find it using Google. You can download an iso image of them to create a bootable media where you can start the test.

  Regarding your update to the BIOS: I put t know what L300D you have exactly, but according to the Toshiba site it shows an update of the BIOS also for Windows 7 64-bit. You can try to install it.

• Satellite A500-1GL - cannot upgrade the BIOS

  Hello

  I tried to upgrade the BIOS on my Satellite A500-1GL (PSAR9E) for awhile now, but a dead battery so I can not go beyond the security check at the beginning. Is it all of the way around it, like I'm connected with current alternative, so I don't see what the problem is! Could I have possibly self-extracting zip files.

  Any help would be appreciated as this is very frustrating!

  Hello

  I think that you will not be able to update the BIOS, if your battery is dead.
  Victory based BIOS update can be updated from Windows system, and there is a security option that allow you to update the BIOS only if the laptop is connected to the power adapter and if the battery is charged.

  You can update the BIOS using a traditional BIOS version, but as far as I know that Toshiba service partner could do that.

  If you have two options:
  Purchase a battery in order to update the BIOS by using win according to BIOS version or you will get in touch with an ASP in your country and will ask you to update the BIOS by using the traditional version of BIOS.

  But the BIOS update is necessary to you?

  I have a laptop with the old BIOS version and I don't have that day even if the new version has been released.

• Satellite U300 - how to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?

  Attempt to update the BIOS of my U300-153, which is described as an operating system independent on the download page, I find that the upgrade file is provided in
  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090304140640.zip
  does not include the files to create a bootable CD, as described in the instructions to the
  IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07
  where Option 2 step 2 lists the files that are in the zip, and they are required to make a bootable cd. The files listed are not in the zip.

  It forces me to use Windows. My Windows is broken and I can't fix it, because Windows repairs destroy data (clearly indicated on the packaging of recovery CD) and installations of Linux. My Linux works very well, and I don't want the windows more.

  So how can I upgrade the BIOS? Either:
  1. use a true independent bundle of BONES (ie the promised approach of bootable CD). I can't find such a thing here.
  2 reinstall Windows, which trashes the laptop.

  Any suggestions?

  Sincerely,
  Aleksander K

  > How to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?
  Is not possible since the BIOS on Toshiba page is a victory-based BIOS version and if you want to update the BIOS then you need to install the Windows operating system and then you can run the exe file

• Re: Satellite L300D and Win7 - cannot find the WLAN driver

  I have the Satellite L300D (PSLC8C-06T01R) I just got this in the month; I decide to put Windows 7 on thinking there would be all the necessary drivers. Well I was wrong; Once I installed 7 we find all drives but the wireless card. I don't then told me the Vista disks would work on Windows 7 so I tried and no luck, I then put Vista on and everything was fine, then when I went to look for the driver for the wireless card in Vista, it doesn t do anything the card is always 'does not work correctly.

  Vista Atheros wireless drivers or something else on the site Web of Toshiba don t do anything.

  If anyone has the same problem made me know, or if anyone knows how to fix this or even if it is possible to find the drivers for windows 7 that would be great cuz that s my goal (Windows 7)

  Please as soon as possible I need this laptop at the University.

  For me, it makes sense to collect all relevant information before you do something again. Obviously you didn't check before installing Win7 Toshiba support page. Until that Win7 is not released Toshiba will offer no tricks of Win7.

  As I see you have Canadian cell phone model and I don't know what WLAN card is inside, but in your a story thing confused me. You have installed Vista again. I assume you have done this with original Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image is designed for certain model of laptop and contains all the necessary drivers for all hardware components. I don't understand what the problem with the wireless network card.
  I have to ask you if you have installed Vista with the Toshiba recovery image?

• Satellite L300D - can't watch movies using a Toshiba DVD player

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300D - 12L and the toshiba dvd player has stopped working.

  The laptop is always able to recognize the dvd as the 'AutoPlay' box appears when a DVD is inserted and says ' DVD RW drive (e :)) "at the top of the follow-up to the title of the film.
  I then click on 'play the DVD using a DVD TOSHIBE movie'... and nothing happens.

  I tried several different DVD, which I know work in other laptops or DVD players.
  I tried by following this link...

  http://www.TechSpot.com/VB/topic27616.html

  and deleted the lowerfilters and upperfilters but that cause problems and I had to perform a system restore.
  I'm running out of ideas and I would like to be able to watch DVD on my laptop again because I don't have a TV or a DVD player.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the CD-DVD drive can read the disc, but it seems that the Toshiba DVD Player cannot play video files

  Then maybe you should try to play the DVD using other software like Windows Media Player or VLC player download VLC player this small software and install it
  Then try to play the movie

  I recommend also to install the tool called DVD Player Update Check Tool that you find on the European driver Toshiba page.

  With this tool, you can check your laptop, if your DVD player needs an upgrade and if so, it gives you the download link for version upgrade needed.

• Satellite L300D-01N - BIOS version original need

  Hello

  had a bad bios flash when you try to apply PSLC8-PSLE8-180 - WIN.exe (Ver 1.80, 10/27/2009) updated the bios of my Satellite L300D-01N, model # PSLC8C-01N019

  now, the unit does not come on at all - I'm trying to restore it to work but it is impossible to find a copy of the bios file updated (from the active windows self-extracting program Toshiba update bios) during installation
  (I tried to extract it on another pc that the portable original is a brick now but still no luck)

  I was able to confirm that I can get the system to the laptop using the CRC, but I need a copy of the * original * BIOS that came with these units so I can reflash.
  does anyone have a copy of the original bios this device before you apply this update (ver. 1.8 2009-10-27)?

  Please note that I was not myself tried this update of the BIOS, so I don't have a copy of the original anywhere.

  Can you send me a copy please?

  Thnaks a lot

  Hi lostboy77,

  BIOS reflash is possible only to an authorized service. If the BIOS update has filed, you can do nothing. :(

  I know it's hard to hear, but you must understand that the update of the BIOS is always somewhat risky and if it wasn t flashed correctly, your laptop won't boot any more. So it of not so easy a Windows Update

  Anyway, here you can get a quick and professional help:

• Satellite Pro L300D PSLC9E - failed to update BIOS

  Hi all

  I got a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300D Windows Vista Business, this isn't that four months, recently, he began to break up and whenever he did, I got a message to upgrade the BIOS.
  So I went to the Toshiba Site and I downloaded an updated BIOS yesterday and installed even today, during installation the PC frooze.
  I left it on and it stayed like that for four hours, then it turns off.

  Now, when I turn it on all that I get is the fan turns to nothing else.
  The powerleader was connected to the laptop all the time.

  Do you have any ideas on what I can do, I have heaps on the laptop I would not loose.

  Model is PSLC9E Satellite Pro L300D

  The case is clear buddy update the BIOS has no procedure
  Perhaps the BIOS might not be updated correctly because the laptop crashed until the update procedure could be completed.

  Well, I can tell you that you will not be able to fix it yourself it's a serious issue and ONLY the ASP (certified partner) would be able to help you!

  So contact the ASP technician and ask for later handling.

  Good luck

• No GPU fan after upgrading the BIOS to 4.2 on Satellite P100-434

  Hi, I upgraded my BIOS today to version 4.2 and since the GPU fan only works during the splash screen, and once Vista has loaded, it never runs again, in addition, the CPU fan turns at a constant speed, and the screen has "shifted" to the right, so I quarter of the right hand of the screen on the left.
  As you can imagine, it's a little annoying, and to say that the GPU temp is 65deg. with 90deg all about processors. not too good for the material.

  Is could someone PLEASE tell me how I can downgrade the BIOS?

  I have fans and fences etc. are all and free from dust.

  This looks like a damage ROM module!
  How did you do the BIOS update? I have red in this forum that a wrong procedure or wrong BIOS can damage the motherboard.

  I think that it s a deal. I put t know if it s needed to change the entire motherboard or update the BIOS again but I n t think you will be able to do it yourself.

  I think the best way is to ask the Toshiba service partner in your country.
  I think they'll give you more details on the handling of the Fryer
