Satellite L355 - dreaded blue screen - Bios does not end

I have a new Satellite L355.
Sometimes at startup I get the DBS.

Otherwise said, the bios does not end and the screen is blank.
Laptop repair center replaced the motherboard twice, but I still have the problem.
I found that if I turn off the power and remove the battery, I can start very well after the replacement of the battery.

Does anyone know why the battery clears the problem?
Toshiba technical support often has a user that to clear a trouble report. They must know something.

Thank you, jack

> Occasionally when booting I get the DBS

That would mean that this sometimes happens from time to time but not always
Is this good?

I think that it of difficult to say what's going wrong here because the question is not always happens... so it is difficult to replicate it
Usually if the POST (power on self-test) cannot transmit properly then that would mean that a material error has been detected somewhere on the map

Maybe you should check if the laptop using the latest version of the BIOS.
If a new BIOS has been published, then you should try to update.

  • Satellite Pro 4220 - update the BIOS does not start

    Hello!

    Please, someone tell me what is the problem with the update to v1.60 SP4220 BIOS? It does not start even do it according to instructions.

    I did the following:
    1 download/have unzipped the package v1.60 since the BIOS page on a non-bootable floppy disk empty
    2. put the floppy in the computer
    3. turn on the device with the F12 key

    With a floppy, I got the "non-system disk" error and another with a "EMBRL" error message missing. What is it, I'm not familiar with that one?

    Hello

    Can I ask why you want to update the BIOS?
    You have problems?
    If the laptop works well the update of the BIOS is not necessary! My laptop is about 6 years old and I have no day BIOS!

    However, I think that you didn't use the right update procedure.
    Please check this document before starting the BIOS update:

  • 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.

  • Satellite R830-143 - update of the BIOS does not support this operating system

    Hello

    I received a notification via Tempro that he did not have a BIOS upgrade. I downloaded the ZIP file (bios - 20120209125153.zip), extract the package (BIOS360_EC140_WIN.exe) and ran it according to the instructions.

    The package runs, give the progress bar "extract files...". ", then displays a dialogue entitled"TOSHIBA BIOS package Ver.4.1.2"that says:"this package BIOS does not support this operating system."

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit on a Satellite 830R-143 with the short part No. PT32LE

    Does anyone know what is the problem?

    Thanks in advance for your help...

    Hello

    You have problems with the laptop?
    If not then why you want to do the BIOS? Just because the new BIOS is released?
    I would not change anything if my laptop is running correctly.

    However, the update of the BIOS requires the VAP (value added package).
    So remember that this PPV is installed correctly. If this isn't the case, so far.

  • Satellite Pro A30: after disk HARD replacing the BIOS does not see DVD or HARD disk

    Hello

    I bought a new Pro A30 of Satellite earlier.
    Shortly after, I noticed the system sometimes
    would freeze, with a rattling of the HD.
    A reboot cold was the only solution.
    I was told to replace the HD I did but the
    problem persisted with the new HD.

    I tried a known working HD and the problem still persisted.
    At this point, the warranty period has increased.
    Frost started happening more regularly, and
    now, the BIOS does not recognize the HD player or DVD.
    It starts and then try to boot from the network,
    because he doesn't have a HD or DVD player.

    At this point, I think I need a new system board.
    Someone at - it other advice or seen this problem
    before?

  • Satellite 2800 - BIOS does not recogize Toshiba 40 GB HARD drive

    I have an old Toshiba S2800 (if-200 questions in total). He was works very well with a 10 GB HARD drive for ages. Yesterday, I thought that putting his hard drive to a bigger.
    Removed the old and installed a new hard drive, Toshiba MK4026GAX. On the power on the BIOS does not detect the HARD drive at all. I can hear the humming noise (platter (s) rotating), but apart from that, there is nothing. The BIOS indicates disk mode HARD is "unused" and also on page 2 is none shown on the primary hard disk IDE channel. (tried to boot Linux from a CD to see if who sees anything on the IDE channel, but apparently the primary IDE channel is disabled if the BIOS does not detect a master or a slave connected device). Change the mode of the master to the slave na HARD drive? t change a thing.
    The BIOS version is 2.00. Tried to find an older one without success.

    I thought that the BIOS has a limit of 32GB, but when I connect a 120 GB hard drive (WD scorpio), it has been recognized by the BIOS and the PC was ready to boot from the device.

    I would have thought computers laptop Toshiba were at least compatible with another device (e.g. hard drive) Toshiba

    Someone has any idea how to operate?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    It of very strange that the 120 GB HDD has worked on your old Satellite 2800 unit.
    I know that the BIOS would not recognize these large HARD drive sizes.

    In any case, seems the purchased disk is not compatible with your laptop and you can buy one that is supported.
    I discovered that the 20 GB HDD MK2016GAP could be compatible

    Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

    Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

    Please provide more info. You see error messages?

  • Satellite P10 304 BIOS does not detect HARD and CDROM drive

    My HDD p10-304 has recently failed.
    I bought a new 60 GB western digital 2.5 drive "and installed today.

    At startup, the BIOS does not detect the drive, but also, it does not detect the CD-ROM drive.
    This makes me think that maybe it's not the player after all, maybe the onboard IDE / motherboard.

    I'm kinda stuck, so it's a new drive should work fine, and I have no way to test the motherboard.

    The only difference is that the insulation on the original drive sleeve should be reduced by half.
    The bit important (low, where the circuits would otherwise affect metal) is always there, it is the
    Few albums I had to remove but that should be no problem.

    Someone at - it suggestions?

    Thank you, Stu.

    Hello

    What happens if the HARD drive is not connected to the motherboard? The BIOS recognize the CD/DVD drive correctly?

    You bought the HARD drive compatible? To my knowledge the Mobile supports a HARD drive with interface IDE (ATA-5) increased.

    But as you said possibly the motherboard failures and he would be advised to contact the technician during a particular test

    Get the dreaded blue screen at startup. Use Windows XP and my PC of becomes as much as the screen connection, but when I select my login name, that the blue screen appears.

  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

  • Satellite A200 + Vista Ultimate - power management does not work

    No matter what I apply to the power management settings of the screen never goes and the PC never sleep or standby extended. Screen saver does not either - except once - yesterday, for the first time since I bought the PC in August. Has not yet done.

    I assumed that this is a bug in Vista. "Tech Guy" PC World (ha ha) cannot repair. Is it at the level of the BIOS or something else? Of course, there is an incompatibility between the OS and the hardware. Video chipset? If you choose a balanced power management, the screen slightly off if you take out the power cord, but that's all that happens. Power management is all set to default.

    It's exhausting, because whenever I want to leave the PC for a while, I have to put it to sleep manually.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello Peter

    First of all are the guys responsible for tech updates? They must offer that you support for the hardware you have and clarify also all problems, if you use a preinstalled recovery media.

    Upgrade is your decision, and it is possible that it may have some negative influence on the functionality of the OS. All this is quite complex. As you know Vista has own power management options. Toshiba install PVAT (ValueAddedPackage) and after doing this there are some additional settings.

    The question is: How did you get the OS upgrade? Did you do a clean install? Have you installed all the stuff from the download page of Toshiba including VAP?

    With other words: all the basic settings on energy consumption are defined in the BIOS. AFAIK in Vista is the management of clean energy implemented and Toshiba installed just a plugin. If these rudimentary BIOS settings are not changed, I guess everything works fine. Change the settings of the BIOS with an update, I can imagine that different settings will not work correctly.

    Hmm, that's really not easy to say what you can do. Maybe check for the last update of the BIOS and after doing that it is trying to put the clean install of Vista Ultimate. And, of course, you must install all the stuff from Toshiba following the document of instructions for installations.

  • Keyboard shortcuts for the screen saver does not

    When upgrading to Mac OS Sierra, the hotkey to put the screen in sleep mode (control - shift - (power or Media Eject button )) has stopped working. As I use this command several times a day and don't know not of any other way to put the screen in sleep mode, it's one of the few reasons why I consider really return to El Capitan.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hi Zwolff,

    Thanks for posting in the Community Support from Apple! I understand that you are having problems with the keyboard shortcut to put your display to sleep. It is certainly a handy to use feature and I'm happy to offer some suggestions to help.

    The first thing that I recommend you try safe mode connects. This will clear the caches and conduct audits at your connection. Here you can find the steps for safe mode:

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    I also recommend you test this in a test on your Mac user account. There may be software or a specific file of the user that generated problems with your shortcut.
