Satellite L850 cannot access BIOS by using the F2 key on startup

I'm trying to get to the BIOS of a Satellite L850, but now the F2 then turn does not hit the power switch and then now the "F2" key does not work.

The key does not work, press fn and F2 change the brightness.

Any help would be appreciated.

A retired old man, the only easy solutions and it is not my PC, I try to help a still older retiree.

Hello

If you use Windows 8 Please perform the first full stop. After doing this restart your machine and press F12. There you should be able to find the opportunity to enter the BIOS settings.

Check it please t.

  • Satellite L850 - unidentified network, try to use the LAN card

    I have the Satellite L850 and were using the wireless without any problem.

    Now I find that I can't get the network to work just by using my Ethernet cable.
    I tried to turn off the wifi and allowing the PCIe realtech family responsible of the treatment, which is the connection to the local network, but I get unidentified network.

    Y at - it a sort of conflict between wifi even if it is disabled and the connection to the local network.
    I'm pulling out my hair. The LAN worked very well until I decided to try the WIFI.

    Hello

    The unidentified network problem may be related to different causes, and therefore different workaround solutions may be possible.
    First of all I recommend you to uninstall the network adapter driver.
    This can be done in the Device Manager. After the driver has been removed, restart the laptop and install the network driver that you can download on the page of the Toshiba driver.

    2nd solution: reset the reset TCP/IP protocol
    To do this, see the article Microsoft Knowledge base:

    Check also if you tools of security (firewall, antivirus software, Mcafee) n does affect network connectivity.

  • Re: Satellite L300 - cannot access BIOS

    My daughter has a Satellite L300 suddenly failed so that on the net. Computer suddenly locked with the whitewashed display picture. Computer could not be shutdown and the task manager would not meet Alt, CTRL, DELETE.

    Laptop was forcibly stopped with a 5 seconds press the power button followed of a reboot. The unit began to start the system, showing the "f2" Toshiba bios or f12 for boot selection, but not details. The "f2", or the f12 key had an effect - i.e. the parameters of the BIOS could not access with f2 & startup option has not posted with f12. Have a set of Toshiba Vista recovery disc I inserted the disc 1, forced another followed stop of a reboot. The disk ran upward and displays "Windows is loading files...". "with a progress below bar that gradually developed 100%, followed by the"Microsoft Corporation"logo with the loading above bar. This lasted a few minutes, but then only shows one arrow big mouse controlled. Disc 2 has never been called for, no program loaded and none were available.

    The loss of access to the BIOS me was more concerned the inability to load Vista, but none are good.

    I'm calling on the cell phone of the guru to help me with this baffling problem - HELP!

    Hello

    Normally you can access the BIOS if you press the F2 key once you have turned on your laptop. Press on and hold this key until you are in the BIOS menu.

    If you can boot from the recovery disc, it should be possible to access the BIOS because it passes the BIOS self-test and until there is no hardware problem.

    If you connect an external keyboard, you can access the BIOS? An alternative you can also try to press F12 for the boot menu.

    You can also try this, if nothing else works:

  • Satellite U400 - cannot bluetooth speaker pair using the Toshiba BT stack

    Dear all,

    I would be very happy to help / advice you can offer the following.

    I have a U400 I got about 10 months ago.
    The built-in laptop bluetooth that I keep all the drivers up to date via the toshiba tempro tool.
    Last night, I got a bluetooth (Gear4 blackbox) speaker that I thought would be easy to pair it with bluetooth. This speaker uses the A2DP.

    -The wizzard "Add new connection" found the speakers but could not perform a pairing no matter how many times I tried.
    This could be due to my existing drivers are not currently supporting A2DP? I'm already using a bluetooth mouse without any problems

    -Try to solve this problem, I downloaded the latest Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (Version 6.40.02) and I tried to install. I have not tried unistalling anything until this... I just run the installation. This has got to a point and got stuck trying to install the bluetooth file transfer. I had to cancel and then use system restore to get back to where I started. Should I unistall existing bluetooth before installing the battery Bluetooth Toshiba? What should I do?

    -Toshiba laptop computers come with Toshiba Bluetooth Stack already installed?

    I am really grateful for any help and advice

    Thank you very much

    John

    Hello
    > Toshiba computers laptops come with Toshiba Bluetooth Stack already installed?
    Of course!
    All laptops that are equipped with internal BT module have a preinstalled BT stack!

    But to be able to use Bluetooth, enable it first using the FN + F8 key combination

    This key combination allows the Wlan and BT, so be sure you have chosen the BT and not Wlan ;)

  • Satellite Pro C870-172: how to use the Fn keys by pressing the FN key

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro C870-172 and I found that the FN key is used by default.

    I mean that if I need to use the normal F1 or F2 key, I have to press "FN" + F1 or F2 etc... otherwise I get the function of toshiba. which would be fine, but in a lot of technical programs, I need to use the normal F1 F2... touch!

    is there a way to reverse the default system so that when I press the F1 key, I get the F1 function and when I press FN + F1, I get the toshiba service?

    Thank you

    M2

    Yes, go to the BIOS by pressing F2
    Now switch to the Advanced tab, and then open the System Configuration.
    Here you will see the option called: mode of the function (without pressing Fn first) key
    This option should be disabled.

  • Satellite A660 - cannot install Win 7 using the external DVD drive

    Hello!

    Not so long I asked help to reinstall win 7 on my laptop.
    The only option was actually in the restoration of order dvd what I did. Today, it has arrived.

    Problem is, or was that some of the CD or the DVD couldn't be read for some reason any.

    Now it won't boot from the cd, it says faulty hard drives.

    So what I did I have pluged my detached external DVD drive and it started from that.

    But just after a few seconds, she told me to '1 support recovery' and open the drive in the laptop. Tried to insert the disc - nothing, like its not inserted, tried to disable computers portable cd - nothing please help

    Hello

    You should first check if the external CD/DVD drive is recognized as a boot device.
    Connect the external USB CD/DVD drive and switch on the device.
    Press F12.

    Now, you will see all bootable devices. Generally, the CD/DVD USB drive should appear if his support. If it does not appear, you will not be able to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive.

    In this case I recommend you to create a bootable USB flash memory and install Windows 7 from USB flash memory

  • Satellite A30 - update BIOS cannot access bios and no light to full charge

    Hello

    Like a fool I upgraded my bios (to 1.80) for Satellite A30 (PSA30E). I've noticed two problems.

    (a) during start-up I no longer get any what welcome screen and can not access the bios or boot from other devices - so if I want to boot from the CD now I can not - for example impossible to reinstall the operating system in the future

    (b) the battery suddenly was not fully charged and constantly hangs on 99% (apparently)

    (c) who knows what else could go wrong

    I'd like to undo what I've done, but it does not seem possible. How the hell can I solve it, since clearly the update of the bios is incorrect. Find a bios update file earlier (and how to use it)? Can I fix it?

    Someone at - it ideas?

    David

    Hello

    First may to ask why you have updated the BIOS. If everything works, the update of the BIOS is not necessary.

    OK, how have you tried to access the BIOS? Usually the F2 key must be pressed immediately after starting the laptop. You can try to press several times.

    But you can start from STRANGE on different ways. You can press C button and the specifications will enable booting from the drive or you press F12 and you choose the STRANGE as a source of start-up.

    I put t know why the power of the battery freezes at 99%, but you can try to remove the battery and wait several times. Then reconnect and check the status of the battery.

  • Satellite L500 - cannot flash BIOS

    Hi all

    Looking for help here - I have a series of Satellite L500 and the battery has recently stopped charging - from 3 hours to 0% - not charging not from one day to the next. Have you tried altering the eco of the settings button, by pressing power for 40 seconds and even a new power supply unit (we have these to my work), but nothing seems to work. The only thing I can do without buying a new battery is flashing the BIOS.

    Problem: I get an error saying that the BIOS cannot be flashed because it has less than 10% of its power. An idea for a workaround?

    I'm more inclined to buy a new laptop than to spend any money fix this one (CD drive and a USB port also stopped working) but try to maintain the old faithful.

    Any tips or advice?

    Thank you
    Bajar

    To Flash the BIOS by using the version focused on winning, the battery must be charged.
    If it s unloaded, the process of updating the BIOS would not start up.

    But why you want to update the BIOS?
    BIOS update does not resolve the problems with the drive CD/DVD or USB ports.

    Hello

    You are unable to download the updates?

    Try the following steps to resolve the problem:

    Method 1: Temporarily disable any security (including firewalls) software and check if the problem persists.

    Check out these links:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    If disabling the security software solves the problem, then contact the manufacturer of the specific security software to fix the problem.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable
    your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are
    connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2:
    See the article mentioned below and run the Fixit diagnostic tool to fix the error 643.

    You receive error code 80070643 0 x or 0 x 643, code error when you use the Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web sites to install updates:

    Hello

    This means that the computer cannot connect to the router.

    Try this process.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.  A window that says connected does not mean that you are really connected. Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see. If it is not connected in the log to router from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, (make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast) is on and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    --------------------------------------------------

    I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

    Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
    some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • Satellite L850 - cannot make Bluetooth work under Win 7 64 bit

    I bought a "new" L850, with Window7 64 Bit
    I managed to have Bluetooth run only once, but now it still says "Bluetooth is not ready" when I try to make a new connection.

    I have the Bluetooth Manager icon in the taskbar and then I turn on and off Bluetooth, but the icon does not change, and I still get the above message.

    Can you give me advice what to look for?

    I can't imagine that there is a problem with bad or old drivers Bluetooth worked a few days ago, and I'm not aware of having changed anything that has to do with Bluetooth.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    AFAIK, you must activate the BT as well as the WLan using the function key F12 (or FN + F12)

    Have you tried that? BT is enabled?

    It would also be interesting to know what Sat L850-xxx you exactly.
    I think that the laptop was equipped with a WLan/BT combo card, but I t know if its a Realtek or Atheros module.

    I think in the worst case you should try reinstalling the drivers necessary to run.
