Satellite L40 - 1.90 bios update has no effect on the reboot of Vista except

Hello

We have a laptop L40 and very happy with it. There BIOS 1.60 and I want to update to 1.90. 32 - Vista Home Basic has been installed by default. He now has SP1.

When I unzip the package and run the bat file (that start with binary winflash), the 'dos' window opens and stays there for a while. Nothing happens and then the window closes and the system is restarted.

When I run just winflash, nothing happens. There is no dialogue or any other message.

How is - a is updating the bios on the L40 - 14Y (PSL48E)?

THX!

Hello

I'm really surprised, why you start the file beats if there is no exe file. Unzip all of the files on the desktop to the laptop and open the winflash.exe file, follow the instructions on the screen.
Make sure that the laptop is connected to the power supply current and NOT to interrupt by running the update of the BIOS.

  • Satellite A500 emit after bios update 1.50

    Hey guys and girls,

    I have some problems after the update of the bios. Before the update my laptop has been the scene of much smoother and everything was fine and dandy until Tempro told me to update my bios. The problem is that after the update, the temperature seems to be considerably higher as usual when I play the game (I am a gamer) and also all the games I play seems to be much slower than before (lower, gal frame rate). Before the update I could play Dragon Age Origins with 1366 x 768 with 4 x anti-aliasing and the only one that I could get the same performance with the graphic parameter above is on 800 x 600. Now, it is certainly a big problem for someone who is a graphics junkie when it comes to games.

    Hi mate

    I think you had a version of BIOS 1.30
    In older versions of the BIOS update are not available on the Toshiba driver download page. Only ASP (partner) has access to these early BIOS versions

    If I delete a song in the list of duplicates itunes, it has an effect on the existing playlist?

    Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

    Use MAJ > view > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

    Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning toback up your library before deduping.

    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

    The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

I need to install Windows XP, but first of all, I have to install the 5.10 Bios (the bios is dedicated to XP).

  • BIOS update has not stopped startup Satellite P850 for Win7

    Updated the BIOS on the site of Toshiba Australia yesterday which now prevented me Win 7 start.

    There was no apparent problem with the update or flash. I can't be in the settings of the BIOS using F12 and the start-up operation stops at the Win logo then the screen turns white. Tried to boot from a drive under Win 7 without success. Even tried to take out the hard drive.

    I suspect that Win 7 charges because I see the NumLock on the keyboard light is on but I don't see anything on the screen. Repeatedly, he performs an operation of disk check which is visible, but can't find any error. In my opinion, a problem occurred during the process of flash and I have no idea how fix it.

    Any advice would be much appreciated

    Hello

    To access the BIOS, you will need to press the F2 key instead of the F12 key.
    In the BIOS disable secure boot option and set the startup mode MSC mode

  • Satellite L40 - proceedings of BIOS rewrite

    Toshiba Satellite L40-14B (catalogue number: PSL4CE - 004005G 3)

    I got my laptop for Windows XP (from Vista) and I wanted to update BIOS version for XP Toshiba (5.50). I did everything right but still 2 seconds after you click the .bat file to start the process, Windows has interfered with a critical message and restart my computer.

    It restarted, (*) entered 'Recovery of the ROM BIOS utility V1.16 crisis', a progress bar indicates that old bios was erased; After that an another progress bar indicating the flash process stopped after 2 seconds (1 cm); flash error message appeared; the utility tried to erase the BIOS (first step bar once again); clear the error message appeared. The post OFFICE will continue or something like that is displayed, and all is blocked and disabled. After a long time of prayer useless, I removed the battery of my laptop and moving forward again (voltage). And everything is identical (new) brand above (*).

    It was a bit strange, especially since, after the reboot, I could access BIOS. No hard drive, the laptop closed in 3 seconds.

    I analyzed the contents of the hard drive and found a new file, called T20. BIN (1 M - no doubt with the BIOS image) in C:\.

    I think that when the laptop is turned on, it does not find the BIOS, it looks for image file of the BIOS in the root of the active partition on the hard drive, load it (T20. (BIN), begins 'The BIOS utility ROM V1.16 crisis recovery' and you know the rest

    After loading the BIOS from the HARD drive and start rewriting, all frozen and I can't do anything: "Recovering the BIOS utility ROM V1.16 crisis" occurs during the POST and POST gel before closing, so I can't get to the point where I can start.

    Meanwhile, I've changed the T20. BIN file with other bios (given by the Toshiba Site for Vista) and everything goes the same thing (with the difference that the BIOS for hard drive shows another version number).

    I know that some laptops have a service procedure so that you can rewrite the BIOS after the crash. I tried different methods indicated on the forums for other L series, but nothing works.
    I could t find the service manual for L40.
    I found even when Maintenance manuals for other Toshiba models where are presented procedures for maintenance for the rewriting of the BIOS (usually using a diskette).
    Didn t work for L40, floppy USB drive died before entering the BIOS and after that it's too late for me.

    Any idea? (Not ASP. I hear good ideas).
    Is someone a L40 manual or single BIOS rewrite maintenance procedures?

    Hi lonutS,

    That s a pretty long story, but I think the case is clear: something was wrong because the BIOS update and now the ROM module has to be reflashed. Normally the BIOS will be updated in Windows and not after a reboot or something else so probably the ROM module is deleted now but no new version has been flashed.

    > Any idea? (Not ASP. I hear good ideas).
    Is someone a L40 manual or single BIOS rewrite maintenance procedures?
    Why not ASP? That's the best idea and may ask you what kind of response you expect? Here he s in only a forum from user to user, so no one here can give you the technical manual or a special BIOS recovery tool for this laptop. These utilities only have an ASP and Toshiba itself.

    Here in the forum are similar topics on recovering the BIOS then perhaps you should read, but don t forget that everything happens on your own risk! If you have n t successful, I think that the only option is in contact with a ;) ASP.

  • Satellite A110 - 180 PSABOE - Bios update failure

The result is the laptop does not start because I think I lost the bios of programming. I test this http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Technology/Satellite-A215-S4747-Bios-update-failure/m-p method but the laptop will beep 3 times every 2 seconds without stopping and with black screen only. The CD-ROM unit tries to start but that's all.

    If anyone knows a separate solution that replace the motherboard, please tell me to probe it.

    Thanks for your help.

    > I've updated the bios with an update from the center of toshiba, but the process is unresponsive and I had to restart the computer. The result is the laptop doesn't start

    To me, it looks like the BIOS update procedure has no
    I'm afraid you have no other alternative besides contacting an ASP using m.

    It seems that the ROM module is not flashed on the correct order and the technician could try to relash Rom module with a BIOS version of crisis

  • Satellite A210 - heating and BIOS update problem

    My aunt was having problems with his A210, so she bought herself a new and gave me the old one. The problems that she has been seen was the computer kept stopping at random. I think it's an overheating problem because the laptop runs quite hot. The BIOS has never been updated so I thought that might help with this problem. in any case, when I tried to update the BIOS this error message came.

    > Has anyone else experienced problems with the A210 of overheating? All solutions?
    Hi mate

    I m a Satellite A210 owner and to be honest, a higher internal temperature might occur if the laptop would not get enough air to cool the internal parts like CPU and GPU.
    A few weeks ago, I used the laptop on the sofa I don't the opinion of t that the cooling that are placed at the bottom of the unit fans were clogged because of my position relax, if you know what I mean ;)

    After a short period of use, the laptop shut down automatically I was a little surprised, but I realized that air could not circulate, and so the laptop overheated

    Now, I m using the unit only on the desktop. This method is recommended, and it helps to keep the temperature at the lower level

  • Satellite L40 - failure of BIOS

    Guys,

    I'm Ray of Indonesia. Satellite L40-A511 just bought a month ago but I noticed after correctly installing XP (and after partitioning hard drive with GParted), I can't use the key entry in digital mode. I am a translator of film and my software requires me to run it in Windows XP environment.

    The key entry is vital (in digital mode) since I m using it much for tracking in the subtitles. Now after a while, the shortcut key for the volume was also malfunction. So, after reading some of the threads here, I conclude that maybe after the FN key BIOS update works perfectly. So I download the BIOS driver for XP to here and run the winflash.exe several times but nothing happens. So I run the .bat and it took the computer must be restarted. Then I press "F2" to the homescreen Toshiba, F9 and F10 to save the configuration. But, alas! I could not start Vista and Windows XP Home edition. The power is on, but it won't access the hard drive AT ALL!

    I think I Jinx guys lappie. It's quite possible that I can not get my L40 back as it used to be?

    Desperately,.
