Satellite M30-chip Bios - where to buy?

Hello
I have a really serious problem. A few days ago I tried to do an update of the BIOS with the intent to fix some bugs. Unfortunately, there was a power failure that crashed my phone. I am shure that I have ki * led Bios... The problem is, that my warranty is over two months ago, so I am really pi * sed. I went to a computer store to get more information and they told me, the Bios chip is welded. Even if they try to get rid of him, there is no way to Flash the chip, because they do not have a slot for this kind reader.
The question is: where can I get a stupid chip? Because they want me to buy a new as 350 euro meinboard!

It would be nice if someone could me!

Hey MrBruns

Sorry to hear this story as you know (now) the BIOS update is risky and the bad or worn BIOS update procedure may damage the motherboard.
Unfortunately, I think that it is not possible to buy a single ROM for this motherboard!

In any case, I really recommend contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for help. Maybe you are a lucky man and the module ROM must be flashed again only on the special track

  • Satellite M30 742: update BIOS issue

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M30-742.

    The BIOS does not recognise my new NEC optiarc DVD RW AD - unit 5540 a. so I need to do a BIOS upgrade.

    Can someone tell me where can I get BIOS more recent (I currently v1.40) and how the procedure is done?

    Thank you in advance.

    Concerning

    Maybe you don't need to update n the BIOS but a CD/DVD player compatible and taken in charge? ;)

    Not all CD/DVD slimline drives are compatible with laptops due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.

    I is recommended; buy a compatible player and don t flash BIOS because this willnot help!

    A hint more; If you try to update the BIOS with the bad BISO or bad procedure the laptop motherboard could be too bad!

    So be careful dude!

  • Satellite M30-821: where to get the motherboard compatible

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M30-821, my motherboard seems to be broken for a few weeks. I would change it. Does anyone know where I can supply one, even if it isn't a new (actually a cheaper)?

    Thank you

    Hi Christophe

    I assume that you know something about the technology of the laptop and you know the motherboard for laptop is one of the parties outside the expensive laptop LCD screen.
    The new motherboard costs a small fortune :(

    You have two options; either you buy a new Board of Directors of the Toshiba service partner in your country (new = expensive with guarantee) or you will check for example eBay offers and maybe you will get a second hand unit with the motherboard (second hand = cheaper but without warranty)

    It s your choice dude

  • Where to buy parts for Satellite R630-155?

    Back to Christmas, I stupidly pulled my lap top on the floor to break the case and the hard drive.

    I got the case and the hard drive replaced with a local pc due to recommendations repair company.
    Unfortunately my confidence was misplaced and 5 months I still do not have a decent wifi pick up and I also discovered that the camera more light built into the front of the screen of the cover is missing.
    I've been to the repairman but seems empty and not joy.

    I know that to take a glance that it is has taken a multi white plastic for at least the camera
    So nobody knows where can I buy spare parts if all goes well for the missing camera and light and the Wifi component.

    At the moment I am hated to part with the R630 because it proved invaluable when traveling because it is light and before Christmas 2012 ideal to pick up wifi signals in hotels and cruise ships.

    Secondly, I am in September who travel outside China, hong kong, Japan, Singapore &

    Can anyone recommend a modern equivalent not so expensive for the Satellite R630 I can search and buy?

    I look around before repairs and might find something equivalent on £1,800.

    Hope someone can help
    Thank you very much
    Rossnagh

    It is very difficult to find these parts for laptops, especially for new models of portable computers.
    Best place to get these things is Toshiba authorized provider. They can order these parts but I don't know if they'll sell it for you or they only order it if they can repair your laptop.

    You can try to contact ASP and ask for help. Addresses and phone numbers, you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

    It is not easy to give you some good advice on other phones but I think for the trip and extremely mobile use series Z Satellite can be very good alternative for you.

    Check the Toshiba website for your country a little and pick up some info on equipment and the price of course.

  • I wonder where to buy a Satellite P500-185

    Hello

    I wonder where to buy a Satellite p500-185. I can't find a store where I could buy this model.
    Toshiba says it is only providing through chains such as Metro, Media Markt, Markt Pro,... in Germany and Austria.

    Chains are not aware of this model. I m enjoyed by the full hd (1920 x 1080) screen and a built-in tv tuner.

    Help, please

  • Satellite M30: How disable the BIOS boot password?

    Hello

    Before my vacation, I activated the startup password in the Bios. Now I want to turn this off, but it does not work. In the Bios, I can go to the Security tab, but I can't change the settings with the F5/F6 key or space. A beep is all I get. Entering on this point, I wonder to set a new password.

    Anyone know how to disable the password for a Satellite M30? Please note that I have not forgotten my password, I can always start the machine.

    THX,

    Werner.

    PS On this forum, I don't see any topic title, only the name of the authors. Is always normal? It is very convenient that way, but maybe it is related to my pc.

    Hello

    I found a step by step explanation to clear a BIOS password:

    "Turning on the computer from a State"off"with the ESC key. You are asked "password =". "

    Enter the password, and then press ENTER. The unit will display: "the valid password is entered, the system starts up. Check the system. Press key (F1). »

    Press the F1 key. This will start the device in the BIOS Setup mode.

    Using the arrow keys or tab, move to the password field and select REGISTERED.

    Press the SPACE bar, enter the password, and then press ENTER. For now, the password field is transformed into NON REGISTERED. »

    Hope this will help you.

  • Satellite M30 - user not allowed to update the BIOS

    I have a Satellite M30 (204, according to me, model 60 GB 1.6 GHz) and I try to update the BIOS but get the error message the "the user is not allowed to update the bios. The reason why I'm trying to update it is I just bought a 250 GB hard drive, but the BIOS does recognize that 128 GB and I guess the most up-to-date BIOS will allow the drives of this size, although I have not found any documentation for precise to say so be it.

    Someone at - it a patch to update the BIOS (I don't think I have a usb floppy drive drive anywhere) or to access the full capacity in other ways? Thank you.

    Ainsworth

    Hello

    could you please tell me what operating system you´re to help? I guess that Windows Xp...

    Usually, the update of the BIOS routine has absolutely NOTHING to do with the capacity of your hard disk drive. You are working with a limited user account? If not, I suggest right clicking on the BIOS update file and choose the option "Run as..". Subsequently a windows pop up and you ask under which user you want to run this program. Click on the "Next user" radio button and choose the administrator. If you have a password for your admin account and then type in, otherwise it should start automatically.
