Satellite M40: BIOS update failure is covered by the warranty?
Hello
I own a satellite M40. I had some problem with it, and tried to update the bios to see if he could he solved.
I flashed the bios with the windows-based utility, but the shutted of the computer down without any warning.
Now the laptop comes on only 1 or 2 and then put off the coast.
I bought this Toshiba, 10 months ago. So, is an update of the bios failed outside the warranty?
Thank you

Broken keyboard key is covered by the warranty?
Hello
I bought Thinkpad T520 a month ago. Today, one of the areas that hold the key broken Z. The key is still usable but can be detached easily. I used the laptop on a desk only and I have not pressured the keys that could break them. It is a defect of the key and I wonder what are my options on the setting of this knowledge? It is covered by the warranty? Lenovo replace my keyboard? I can't afford to send him to the service for more than a few hours since this is my main computer and I need for all working days.
Thanks in advance
There is no reason for its failure unless the hammer, a brick or a bottle of whisky was launched on it. So YES would be the answer.
Don't ask them if. Suffice it to say the broke / has failed and you need it fix/replace keyboard.

Qosmio X 500-fault of screen not covered by the warranty?
So as said elsewhere the X 500 series has a certain design/manufacturing fault that allows a "shadow" be visible on the entire length of the screen at the height of the taskbar (so don't not visible in windows, but jobs is full screen, like movies, just terrible).
The attitude of Toshiba is that it is a "limitation of the technology" and not covered by the warranty (which I think is very poor on their part).
My query is why?
Given their other 18.4 "models (P500 for example) doesn't seem to have this obvious anomaly, and nor other brands models 18". If it was a limitation of the technology like Toshiba said so surely other models/brands that X 500 would have this anomaly?
Personally, I think the excuse of "limitation of technology" is just a COP on part Toshibas who do not want to solve the problem on EACH item, I'm sure that the next model (x 600? whatever) will miraculously not the issue and those of us who have decided on Toshiba will continue to say "too bad".
I searched the net looking for x 500 no descriptions of this "limitation" as we should expect a "limitation of technology" to be as widely reported as their other favorite, the dead pixel but found nothing. It seems this limitation of effects incredibly alone technology Toshiba X 500? Toshiba must think we're gullible.
My fault however maybe done research, can any that shed light on why only the X 500 has such a terrible mistake and no other models?
I don't know if this is the right place for these issues.
It is user forum and I do not think that any of us has access to s secrets Toshiba ;) to see what type of screens are used on the Qosmio X 500.I don't know if Qosmio x 500 has new generation screens, but I don't know that Toshiba uses better technology for this model of laptop high-end.
In the past all Qosmio notebooks are best of the best in all aspects, materials, software and many other software programs.Just, I hope not, I am sure, that Toshiba will continue this philosophy for Qosmio range and seems best proof new Qosmio F60.
I like it a lot but leys see how much it will cost.Good bye

The charger is covered by the warranty?
My charger stopped working yesterday for no apparent reason. The charger is covered by the warranty? And how could I go to get a replacement charger?
Thanks for your help
Hello!
Normally the charger is covered by warranty when your laptop is guaranteed.
Contact an ASP (authorized service provider) to get a new one.

Default setting screen IdeaPad s 100 14IBR (CAT in is not covered by the warranty?)
I just purchased this ideapad yesterday, lol, yesterday
What happened earlier in the morning when I tried to open the laptop
It tends to lose
I had a cat of support and the person says that it is not covered by the warranty.
I did not open the screen myself, it happens when I flip the cover in the usual way a normal person would do when you want to watch on the screen (unless you're not)
I'm going to visit a service center in the morning, I just want to raise this issue in this forum.
now any illumination that is why it is a joke? This is not due to misuse or whatever, is definitely a fault, the plant problem rather than my own problem.
This problem is solved.
The service center does not charge me anything to replace it.
It took approximately 3 business days, total 6 days including weekends.

Wear of keyboard is covered by the warranty?
My w520 wear letter keyboard, some letters are worn or partially worn (white print on the keys).
I'm in third year of ownership. I didn't intend to keep for a long time, but I find the 'good old' so hard to share with of 7row keyboard.
I must say also that have more old thinkpad (x 40, 60 x) used and abused again with all the keys like new after 6 years
I've heard that some people in the United States has obtained new keyboards under warranty on their w5xx, free of charge, and no need to send the thinkpad.
Just called my local support from Lenovo (Italy)...
They said that the main doors labels are normal wear and tear and which was not covered by the warranty.
If I want a new keyboard, I must pay, still under warranty.
(Also they told me also that here we don't send you a box to deposit in the thinkpad, but it is the owner who must a generic box itself to source and wrap the thinkpad, they send just the mail.) )
Do you have an experience about it? (labels/new keyboard keyboard under warranty?)
If your keyboard is just worn out, the warranty covers the replacement.
However, if certain keys or mouse buttons stopped responding, it would be a different story. Then you would have the right to call and ask for a replacement keyboard.
I just replace the keyboard on my X220T on my own dime due to several keys very worn - and Yes, the machine is still under warranty.
Good luck.

Hot pixel is covered by the warranty?
Less than 2 months ago, I bought a Hp Pavilion laptop M4 and lately, I've been experiecing a hot pixel on my screen. It affects especially the performance of the laptop but my OCD comes into play and I constantly watch over the pixel to check if it's still there.
It shines bright white and I was wondering if it is covered by the warranty.
For some reason the article Monitor\video is missing from the portal of support for your laptop. I ask HP about this.
Use this document to see HP warranty test on LCD screen or bad pixels.

Satellite L40 - 12K - BIOS update failure
Hi people,
It is the second Toshiba laptop, I've managed to screw up. I don't know why, but it seems that Toshiba is especially prone to spectacular failure of BIOS.
This laptop (Satellite L40 - 12K, short model PSL40E) has a bios made by FRIEND and Toshiba has an update on its Web site for windows that uses the tool of WinFlash.exe made by ASUS.
The tool only works for 32-bit operating systems, and I had installed a 64-bit version of Windows, I could not pass the laptop.
Then I thought: we will try to update the bios from MS-DOS, using a bootable flash drive!
I went to the ASUS ftp site and downloaded the latest AFUDOS (2.41). This is a special version of the afudos FRIEND tool, specially designed for ASUS.
I ran the tool under MS-DOS, and it will make sure the BIOS automatically confirmed that the binary file was compatible with the laptop model and automatically starts the process of flashing.
But it crash in the phase of "flash erase". He was stuck there for HOURS, so I turned off the computer and tried to turn it back on.
Not at all, the laptop won't turn. It does not even ANY SOUND. NO LIGHTS, NO NOISE, NO FAN, NOTHING.
ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY DEAD.
So, there you have it. I have flashed dozens of computers (servers, laptops, workstations, etc.) in my life, and I've only had TWO failures.
TWO of them were with Toshiba laptops. Geez, Toshiba is really the King of the failures of BIOS flashing!
Hello
I would never try update the Toshiba BIOS with a BIOS from other support pages for computer laptop manufacturer
What to say; I found one from Toshiba victory of the BIOS and traditional BIOS Toshiba U.S. driver page:http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com
Maybe you could try to Flash the BIOS using this version of BIOS
If this is not possible, then only a service provider authorized Toshiba would be able to help you.By the way: I've had three different Toshiba notebooks: A210, U400, and now Tecra A11.
The BIOS update has worked perfect for all series...
