• Re: Satellite L40 - black screen after BIOS update

  Hello world

  I have exactly the same problem, as shown here:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-euro...ThreadId=35156

  My laptop is a Satellite L40 - 150 (model PSL48E) it came with Vista and BIOS version 1.60

  I updated the BIOS to version 5.50, because I wanted to install Windows XP. The BIOS update process went well and the computer restarted automatically. After the reboot, I entered the BIOS (by pressing the F2 key). I pressed F9 to load the default settings and you exit the BIOS, saving the changes.

  Restarting the laptop and the screen is now completely empty. Nothing appears in it.

  I tried to remove and then reinsert the RAM modules, but it did not help.

  So, I guess the only option is to return the laptop to a service center?

  Why Toshiba do that? They are this deliberately or what?

  Kind regards.

  Hello

  I put t agree with Leolo and put I t too agree with you.
  The point is that there are tow updated BIOS for the L40.
  One for Win XP and one for Win Vista;
  But the two BONES work on with the two BIOS but some functions such as the FN buttons wouldn't work if you n t use good BIOS for the good OS.

  The BIOS on the Toshiba page is not defective. But of course, it is always possible that something will go wrong during the BIOS update procedure because the BISO update is always risky!

  One of my friends has updated the BIOS on this laptop and everything went well!

  Hello

  Have you used the good BIOS?
  I recommend you to check the serial number that is placed at the bottom of the unit.
  The first 5 digits and characters are important.
  Then compare it on the page of the Toshiba driver and use the good BIOS!

  Please note that bad BIOS or bad BIOS update process can damage the laptop. I would recommend so double check the BIOS version prior to execution.

  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.

• Satellite L30 - 11 d: update Bios to boot from USB

  I have a Satellite L30 11(d) bought Sept 07.

  I'm interested in trying to boot from USB, at the present time, my bios does not.
  I am looking to update my bios. There is a updated bios updated for me to download (3.10WIN).

  I have 3 questions:

  (1) 3.10WIN allows to boot from USB?

  (2) is 3.10WIN related to the use of MS Vista? (Looking at this article , it seems that the new phoenix / toshiba bios only allows panoramas...?)

  (3) how to settle?

  (with ubuntu 7.10 works well... aside from the sound)

  As to the question;

  (1) No, it is not possible to boot from a memory stick USB HDD or USM

  (2) each BIOS for each series of Toshiba notebook is different! Please don t no matter what other laptop computer BIOS or fixed PCs. Satellite L30 - 10 d belongs to the series of the 3,10 and PSL33E BIOS is OS independent. If your laptop comes with XP then the BIOS supports XP completely. Of course, you can try to install Vista but it is possible that some features of the laptop as FN keys will be does not work

  (3) the BIOS should always be done in the Windows operating system. As you can see on the page of the Toshiba driver the BIOS version is called 3.10Win - version

• Satellite L40 - 16 d: update CPU & PC card question

  Hello

  I have Satellite L40 - 16 d PSL48-E and I want to know who is the fastest processor I can put on?

  In the upper right corner, I have a dummy card. What can I put on this decision?

  THX

  Don t think you could improve the laptop with a faster processor due to overheating problems. A faster CPU produces more heat, and this leads to overheating.
  But as I know the Dual-Core CPU T2310 1.46GHz was installed on this notebook.
  Theoretically, an another Dual-Core CPU could be inserted but practically it of desirable and in most cases the wouldn t stable performance specifications.
  Last but not least, you will lose the warranty!

  With regard to the issue of card slot;
  Well, some Web sites said that this laptop runs the Express card. That is why it s an ExpressCard slot ;)

• Failed to update BIOS 7020 OptiPlex

  Running 64-bit Windows 7, updated to date.

  It is impossible on multiple systems, update BIOS 7020 OptiPlex by using the update for my Windows version found here.

  When I try to run the O7020A08.exe file, I get the following error message:

  The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer's system information to see if you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher.

  I checked the MD5 checksum, so I am confident that the file downloaded correctly. Google results based on the error message seem especially related w / old software works is not on a newer OS.

  Thoughts?

  It pays to check the BIOS version before attempting to update. My BIOS is updated.

  But I can't imagine that this behavior is simply a funny way of showing that the BIOS update is not necessary.

• Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) standby & hibernation fails after updating BIOS

  Hello

  I wonder if it is common that after the upgrade of the Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) of the BIOS 2.50 at BIOS 3, 70 - Win or 3, 90 - Win, do sleep modes and Hibernate the * completely locked laptop computer? *

  After the upgrade, when I try to enter sleep or hibernation, the laptop turns off the LCD and gets locked so it isn't help to press and hold the power button, open/close the cover, press Fn - F3 or F4 - Fn, the only way is to disconnect the power supply and wait until the battery runs down, or simply be very rough and * disconnect the battery *.

  While the Pro U300 is locked, I hear that HARD drive and fans are also swivel - as soon they were when entering standby or hibernation mode. Very ugly behavior - you can FRY your laptop with something like that. I thought that BIOS 3.70 was faulty but unfortunatelly version 3.90 also worthless.

  Furthermore, I can't yet understand why large (70% of the zip file) file of the package to upgrade the BIOS (3.70 and 3.90)... is the portable other flashers log file?

  Your ad, I understand that the screen does not wake up after its entry in the standby or hibernation mode.
  Am I wrong?

  I noticed that Toshiba has released a new version of the Intel graphics driver.
  At this time the update is 02/20/08 and the version is 6.14.10.4831.

  Maybe you should try to update the display driver too check to see if it would help to get rid of this annoying display problem

  I recommend to remove the old version of the graphics driver first, then install the new downloaded driver.

  Mate good luck

• Satellite Pro L40 PSL43E: How update BIOS

  Hello

  I hope someone can help please?

  My Sat Pro L40 was entering into an infinite loop of BSOD, and I think I This reduces up to an update of the BIOS that I need.

  I downloaded the correct one for my laptop model: PSL43E.

  I saved on the desktop and extract the files to a folder on the desktop.

  The instructions on this site say run the *.exe file

  I see only 2; that which is a small file winflash.exe.manifest and the winflash (and has an icon of chip next to him) to research in the properties of this file, it says it's an .exe file so I tried to run it.

  File pos up to with the "is it the right of a warning" I click ok and about 15 seconds later, a box appears looking for a file name and in the name of box says "here for the Fill bios image file.

  I'm at a loss what to do next because I can't get the update of the BIOS works properly.

  The laptop opens in safe mode on a user account inactive that I've never used (it does not open in safe mode in my own user account and enter the BSOD loop).

  Help, please!

  Great tips Maurice! ;)

• Satellite X 205-S9800 - update Bios failure of process

  Hello guys, I have a very big problem

  I have or at least I got a TOSHIBA Satellite X 205 - S9800 laptop with 4 GB 667 ddr2 sdram installed, fsb and I downloaded the new v2.5 update of the bios from the Web from Toshiba website.

  I started the process of update in windows vista using the phoenix Toshiba bios update utility and while the utility has reached line 2 of 18, there was a vista blue screen of course followed by a system crash. I should mention that I had problems with before blue screens because of the ram I think.

  In any case, I had no choice but to disconnect the power cord and remove the battery, because the power wouldn't button? t is longer, and now when I try to turn on my laptop, it powers just up to the graphics card and cpu coolers and power led light.
  Of course, the screen remains black, the second I take my finger on the power button it turns off. When I plug in the power cord, it does the same thing, but without pressing me the power button.

  I wonder what should I do, because obviously the bios has failed, and now I have to reschedule, my question is, where he is on the motherboard, or if someone knows the part number. I have some skills in electronics.
  I can replace it, because I have find a new somewhere, or is it possible to remove the chip, connect it to an Eprom special peripheral reprogramming and actually write the image of the bios again. Or is there any life in the chip?

  I mean it would help if I find a USB floppy and try to reprogram this way.
  For any help or suggestion would be gladly appreciated, because obviously this is a terrible situation, and I made a terrible mistake, which can actually be deadly.

  Thank you in advance, I hope I have this issue

  OK guys, I found the eeprom part number (CSI) W (I) 16-16 k CMOS EEPROM 24 c series with 128 pages with 16 bytes each, ca? s 2048 KB, packed in a box of 8-Lead SOIC, so I should be able to remove the motherboard, attach it to a serial interface and reprogram (still doing some research on it).

  By all means if you have any suggestions, they are gladly appreciated.

• Satellite A210-199 - after updating BIOS only seeing yellow on

  Hi all, help is needed.

  After a BIOS updated with the help of Toshiba TEMPRO laptop Satellite A210-199 stopped working. The updated spent normally, but when it was turned off is more responsible. All this time the yellow indicator Burns power only. In a few minutes a laptop trying overloaded, but has no outside effect and so constantly.

  How is it possible to correct?

  Hello

  Well, it seems that the BIOS update has failed or something else. Maybe the ROM module must be reflashed by a technician of the laptop.

  But you can try this workaround first:
  Remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour. Then reconnect both devices and try to start the laptop.

  If it doesn t work on the Toshiba site, you can search for nearest authorized maintainer:

• Pavilion H8J91EA #ABU: failed to update BIOS on H8J91EA #ABU

  Has had a major disaster last night.

  Tried to update the BIOS on a Pavilion H8J91EA #ABU failed; Displays the boot block update message (or something like that - don't remember exactly) message stayed on the screen for centuries and then blacked out.  Now, the machine seems totally dead.  I tried the method of recovery of bios key 'Windws-key' and 'B' without result.

  Does anyone know if this feature is supported on the #ABU H8J91EA

  Thank you

  It sort!

  After failing to install the new BIOS understandable machine does not start.

  The option Windows key & B to retrieve the original BIOS is supported on this model but would not work.

  If you leave the machine off for a few hours the BIOS recovery works fine the first time try you it. but once the BIOS has loaded the system was unable to restart to complete the installation. Returning to the State where you cannot call the BIOS recovery feature and the machine is completely dead.

  Solution in my case was...

  • Power down machine
  • Leave for a few hours
  • Turn on, all holding the key windows and 'B '.
  • Wait for the BIOS recovery to start and release the keys.
  • Answer all questions and wait for the reboot to start.
  • If it does not start, turn the machine off and leave for a few hours.
  • Turn on the machine, and with a little luck, the boot will continue.
  • Answer any questions that you are asked, and wait.
  • Breathe a sigh of relief...

  I hope it's useful to someone.
