• Re: Satellite L500D - boot problem after BIOS update

  I downloaded the new version of BIOS (v1.4) official Toshiba site to update my computer Satellite L500D (PSLK0A - 00U009). But after the update, Windows 7 cannot start, Windows logo appears for a while then it restarts automatically. Windows then goes into repair mode. I followed the instructions on the screen to fix. But it does not work.
  When I reinstalled Windows, the computer worked fine until Windows Update told me to restart the computer. The computer dies again.

  I think that this version of BIOS has a problem. I wonder if there is a way to downgrade the BIOS to the earlier version. I found some instructions on the net to use the Phoenix recovery disk, but I have no file disk and BIOS.
  Please Please HELP, very appreciate.

• Satellite L500D - update BIOS, covered by warranty?

  Hi, I bought a Satellite L500D in September of last year. The weekend comes, he suggested I should keep the machine etc. updated drivers so I logged on the Toshiba web site and there was a link with * New * Bios Update, i.e. After choosing the etc. good model from the dropdown boxes.

  The update seemed to work however when the machine is re-start, he went through the boot process closed however it has not started up.

  I tried to choose the boot in SafeMode etc and tried to reinstall the backup CD, but I can't get the machine to start. I have now put the machine in to authorized service center for Toshiba to fix.

  As I followed the instructions on the web site of Toshiba is that this should be covered by the warranty?

  Thank you

  Hello

  No, the update of the BIOS is not covered by warranty! This update happens on your own risk, and you can find this information on Toshiba Web site e too.

  I quote the Toshiba page:

• How can I access the recovery on my Satellite L500D-00F partition?

  Hi, I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L500D-00F delivered with Windows 7 Home Premium and my OS is not working properly so I need to boot from the recovery partition, but I can't find a way to do...

  =============
  FULL ARTICLE: P
  =============

  The first startup launched the hidden restore partition and I followed the procedure to install the OS of the computer.

  At one point he asked me if I wanted to 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7, so I choose the default option (32 bit) because I couldn't find anywhere in the specifications of L500D of the merchant that is was a 64-bit processor.

  After the installation of the computer, it started Windows 7 properly and I could hear the startup sound, see my office for a second and the screen went black, nothing worked at all and I discovered that my computer was actually a unit of 64-bit, so that is probably why the video driver does not work properly, I guess. Whenever I start my laptop, I see my desktop for a second then it goes black and crashes like this.

  ====================
  END OF THE STORY: P
  ====================

  In any case... I want to restart this recovery partition and reinstall my operating system using the 64-bit version.

  How can I boot from the recovery partition on my L500D-00F... AND PLEASE don't tell me to hit F8 during the startup, I already tried this and NO I don't have a "Repair" option The first is 'Safe mode' and there is no option 'Fix' or 'retrieve '.

  Also, in Windows Disk Manager (that I can use in some way when I boot in safe mode) I see two hidden partitions, a 10 GB and a 1.5 GB, so I KNOW they are there, I did not delete them and they should be intact.

  Any help is appreciated, but don't tell me to hit F8 when starting, this has already been tried: P

  Thanks for the comments.
  On this forum, that we have already talked about this and of course access to the data recovery is not the same for all models of laptop. F8 method is for example for models Europeans and several people from the Australia or even Canada reported on the use of the 0 button.

  In any case, I'm happy to know that everything is going well.

  Good bye

• Satellite L500D: 64 bit Win recovery disk is 32-bit - can I restore 64-bit?

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite L500D, which has Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.
  I have the recovery CD is 32-bit, however, and I need to reinstall Windows.

  I'm assuming that this drive can install the 32-bit version and does not give you the option - if after installation, is there always a partition on the HARD drive for the 64 bit version?

  If possible, I want to continue to use the 64-bit edition.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Did you create this disc using the Toshiba Recovery Media creator?

  If so, then the pre-installed Win 64 bit should be part of the image that you created using this software.

  Generally, when booting, you should get the option where you could choose between 63 bits and 32 bits of the system.

• Satellite L500D - can't get optical to work reliably drive

  HI again users Toshiba.

  Since I got my Satellite L500D I had a problem with TSST corpCD/DVGW TS - L633C ODD. I run 3 OS (Tri-Boot) and all have the same number, so, even though I have updated the firmware to version TO02, I can't get this drive to work reliably. From time to time it will "play" DVD / CD, but not more often.

  Basically, when I put a DVD or CD, the drive makes a sound of "hunting" and nothing else happens.

  I've been on several tracks of high-low registry settings, operating system specific upgrade and tonight an update of the firmware.

  Because etiquette programs that I use on this system I can't abandon this unit some 'tech boutique', even if there was a local.

  I am technician qualified in the field of electronics and electric, but have not been exposed to the functioning of such a DVD player so advice here before that I put on the classware magnifying and opt for a quick glance.

  My problem, what are looking for?

  Suggestions anyone?

  Hello

  What Satellite L500D you exactly (L500D-xxx)?
  If you have downloaded TO02 Toshiba support and download page?

  To be honest I n don't know what can be the problem, but you can remove the existing HARD drive, put the other HARD disk, install OS using the Toshiba recovery image (I hope that you created the recovery DVDs) and test the functionality of the BIZARRE with own OS pre-installed (factory State).

  If the problem persists perhaps you should contact Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help. They can check ODD and replace if necessary.

• Satellite L500D - Iinitially had a problem "could not load the profile.

  Satellite L500D initially had a problem 'could not load profile' then stop. It is now the windows installation discs that I don't have. Where can I get them? They can be downloaded from Microsoft or Toshiba sites?

  Error message:
  File: \boot\BCD
  Status: OxcOOOOOOf
  Info: an error occurred while trying to enter the boot configuration data

  ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THANKS

  Hey Buddy,

  > They can be downloaded from Microsoft or Toshiba sites?
  No, the disc can t be downloaded because it s not for free.

  You can start in safe mode?

  In the worst case operating system is confusing to the top and you have to reinstall Windows, but so you can take the Toshiba Recovery disk that will restore your notebook back to factory with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

• Where can I find the drivers of Windows XP Home for Satellite L500D?

  Just got my new laptop bueat you. It has AMD processor and stuff and is perfect. But I need to adapt to a new hard drive to install XP as I have always only on Win 7. I couldn't get it to dual boot, more like I do a clean install less all that junk factory installed.
  I need XP drivers for the batch. The Australian Toshiba site isn't very useful and ascomprehensive than the United States and I find it difficult to find anything.

  Yes I love XP because it has gave me free PCing struggling for a long time. Win7 is good but I need to do a full install of OS and I don't want to wipe WIN 7 either.

  So if anyone knows where I can get the drivers made me know. I don't know which ones to go down the American site, their codes of models are different.
  I build my own desk tops, so I would have a total control over everything, even this one.

  Hello

  I found a few Win XP drivers for some series Satellite L500D on the European driver Toshiba page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  See the page and try to install drivers Win XP only.
  All the other missing drivers, you will need to collect clean hands.

  OS: Windows 7 32-bit

  Hello

  You see something on a screen? So you can check if the internal monitor works properly or not.

  If not try this:
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter. Now wait at least one hour or overnight and then install the battery pack and plug in the AC adapter. Before you turn it on, make sure the battery is fully charged and try to boot up your laptop.

  If you have connected to external devices such as mouse, keyboard, printer, etc. remove them until you turn it on.

• Installation of recovery image on Satellite L500D

  Am trying to re - install windows 7 on Satellite L500D. I'm having all kinds of problems with the computer because it has been infected by malware or viruses, don't know that. I have already backed up all my documents, photos and files pst on an external hard drive.

  I press '0' when the power and then got the following options.

  First option is 32 or 64 bits,
  I chose 32 that the vehicle has currently 32-bit installed.
  Warns next option, I selected Yes.
  Next option is factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-the-box). or erase the hard drive, I chose the default settings restoring.
  Then there's 3 options,
  1 recovery of out-of-the-box-state (System Recovery Options include).
  2. recovery without changing hard drive partitions, or
  3. recover to custom size partition. I thought I chose Option 1, but it shows all partitions will be deleted and you will lose all data on the hard drive.

  This means that I will delete the windows installs partition?
  Choose option 2?
  Option 2 says "the first partition is deleted and you will lose all data on the partition. I am thinking 2 option?

  On a separate issue, I could install the 64 bit version of Windows, if so it would be an advantage?

  Hello

  Detailed explanations on the recovery image installation, you can find on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  Please check it and I hope you find al the info you need there. I always use Recovery option out-of-box state > system recovery options are included.

  Your system is infected of course and you have to complete resettlement in order to not make this so complicated. Back up all your data and install recovery image using option 1. No matter what will be removed and what not. Drive HARD integer should be cleaned.

  I recommend you to use the version of 64-bit operating system.
  Very nice article about 32 and 64 bit versions OS, you can find here.

• Satellite L500D Pro - Solution for drivers HD4100

  Problem:
  After a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit on the of Satellite L500D Pro vor of the Radeon 4100 drivers cannot be installed.

  Solution:
  Just take the 32-bit Windows 7 Toshiba Support drivers and everything works fine.

  I spend my afternoon to find a solution to this and although I found many people with the same problem, there is no answer except 'no install windows from the CD of restoration' - which is absolutely no solution!
  Then I tried everything that I could imagine and take the 32-bit package has been the salvation.

  It should also work on other laptops with the same graphic card.

  Hi Eroghor,

  Thanks for sharing this information with us. It s very useful! :)

  But why is no recovery disk? It of best that you can do. Pick you up at the factory with all the drivers and tools. So you don t have any problems with the installation of the driver, and you can have fun with Notepad. :)

  This laptop has an ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics chip, which could be too underpowered to run intensive 3D games.

  Personally, I'd go for a model that can handle better 3D games like the Satellite A500 or P500 series.
