Satellite P100: After BIOS update 4, 00-WINNER cannot use his & wireless card

Dear all,

I was a proud owner of the Satellite P100-437 4 months already, but last week I started having major problems with my laptop. First of all, next day after I bought the laptop with Vista, I get off my laptop for Windows XP SP2 and everything was fine. I had all this work and I enjoyed my laptop a lot. Last week, I checked Toshiba web site for new drivers and I downloaded the new update of the bios 4, 00 - WIN and apply.

After the headaches started. Suddenly, I lost my sound, but in Device Manager the sound card works fine. In addition, the small light in the wireless switch is missing and then the wireless device, saying also in the device manager that works very well.

I backed up all my data and reinstall win xp, clean and I installed the audio drivers and nothing has changed, the sound is still missing. Same story with the wireless. Yesterday, I've been witness to something else, I have attached an external hard drive, that is with usb connection and also usb power, and suddenly the sound and the wireless back for everything, but interrupting and finally disappeared again.

So, now, I wonder what to do and any help on this is appreciated. I work on cruise ships and my laptop it is priceless.

Deniz

Hello Deniz

I told everyone every time: Please do nothing while OS works well!

Do not forget this. The problem is that your laptop comes with Vista OS and BIOS is also designed for Vista. You were very lucky to run Windows XP Home edition with success and now you updated the BIOS designed Vista yet. I really wonder not that you have problems now.

What to do in this situation? It's very good questions. Try reinstalling the drivers for the sound and WLAN. Maybe this will help. Maybe clean install of WXP. I can't say for sure. I A200 (also Vista preinstalled) and I think that for the moment I have no interest in updating anything. Not yet.

Bye and good luck!

    Hello

    Hmmm what to say. Sounds not good and in my opinion, looks like you have successfully updated the laptop computer with a bad BIOS or something went wrong during the BIOS update process
    Are you sure you used the right BIOS of 110%?

    It seems that you will not be able to fix this problem yourself, without any additional help from the laptop technician.
    In most cases, the BIOS has to be flashed again on the particular way

    For me it s clear, you will need to contact the ASP to get rid of this problem

  • Satellite P100: After updating the BIOS 3.8 I can't access MCE pressing enter

    Hello!

    I was able to enter XP MCE by pressing the Enter key when the Welcome screen. Now I cannot and must click on the photo of the small image. Is it because of 3.8 BIOS that I put in place recently or not? Can I do this option still works? Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I put t know if you can restore this option but you should access the BIOS and try to define again the default settings t.
    Don t forget to save the settings if you exit BIOS ;)

    But I really don't understand why you have updated the BIOS. If the laptop is running without any problems a BIOS update is not necessary!
    Therefore, never change a system up and running, you know? ;)

    Besides as I know the P100 were not delivered with Microsoft XP MCE but with XP Home and Express Media Player or Vista

  • Satellite Pro P200-15W: after Bios Update 1.90 incredibly noisy fan

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200-15W, I recently made an update to BIOS version 1.9 and seems to have been a big mistake.
    After restarting the computer, I had a lot of software deconfig and the fan has become incredibly noisy.

    I have the problem with the Toshiba Vista registration software, I get this message: "registration of Vista has stopped working". I read other discussions, I don't want to just disable it in the start.ini file, I would actually solve the problem if there is a way.

    Is there a way to change the configuration of fans? I read a post from Toshiba on another model of laptop that has had the same problem of noisy fans after an update of the BIOS, they gave that a solution with a new version of the BIOS, is there a way to reverse the BIOS to the previous version? (recovery CD will be useful for this purpose)?

    See you soon

    Edgard

    Hello

    It seems that the picture of the fan was changed and renewed in the new version of BIOS, and so fans run fall.
    Why the table fan has been changed?

    Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve the reduction of the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with maximum performance.
    This helps to prevent the equipment from damage!

    Usually, the recovery CD formats the whole HARD drive (partitions too) and installs only the image of Toshiba on the notebooks of HARD drive.
    The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
    But you can try to recover the laptop to see if you can solve the problems of software as "Vista record"!

    If you want to reverse the BIOS, you will need to contact the ASP in your country!

    Sorry, but all I can suggest.

    Best regards

  • Satellite C55-A-16Z - graphics card does not work after BIOS update

    Hello

    I have a portable Satellite C55-A-16Z with windows 8 and a Nvidia geforce 740M graphics card.

    Last week he asked me to update the version of the bios at 1.30.
    The bios update was successful.

    However when I restarted my laptop I started having a BSOD dgxkrnl.sys.
    Correction of the error and restarted for an another BSOD Windows, and after the second solution, I stopped making BSOD.
    But now, I noticed its games running, if not use the dedicated card, but use the 4000 Intel.

    In the settings Nvidia dedicated card is configured to be always on.
    It seems that my card is missing, but it appears in Device Manager.
    I tried to delete, update the drivers and the default factory reset, but nothing helped.

    Also, when I go into Options power the Intel card is listed and when I disable the card intel in the Device Manager it starts to use the graphic viewer for windows.

    How can I get my Nvidia card to work again?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    After the BIOS update the BIOS should be set to default settings.
    You can do it in the BIOS.

    In addition, you mentioned that Windows 8 is still installed on your laptop.
    8.1 to win has already been published by Microsoft and I highly recommend that update you the system of 8 to 8.1 Win Win.

    Before you start the upgrade to 8.1 win, you should check and read the instructions step by step for Toshiba: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

    I guess that after the Win 8.1, nVidia graphics card upgrade works well also.

    Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

If everything works correctly, you can forget about this update. More if you do a BIOS update you shouldn't t run any other updates or programs that might affect the update of the BIOS.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - touchpad failed after BIOS update

    After that good BIOS update 2.00 to 2.10 / suggest by ALERT TEMPRO - http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20091125132031.zip/ the touchpad of my Satellite Pro A300 - GR 1 stopped working.
    He appears under the name hidden in Device Manager. The State of the device - "this device is not present, is not working properly or is not all its drivers installed." (Code 24) "reinstall the driver has no effect of course. I can also access the BIOS utility when you start pressing F2.
    Running Vista Business 32-bit Edition.
    Ideas to solve the problem will be highly appreciated!

    Hello

    Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
    And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

    You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

    I've also updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300 but I n t have a problem with the touchpad after the update.

  • Satellite P100 - v4.70 update BIOS stuttering in games

    Hello

    I had a problem with the Bios v4.70. Since I flashed my BIOS I had regular stops in my games. Looks like the game crashes every 3 seconds for a short time. I got the BIOS v4.50 before without problem. I would use v4.70 because since the new version of my graphics cooling fan card responses to temperature again.

    With recent versions, that I had the problem the fan worked only when I pressed the temperature of the gfx over 104 ° C. seems there is an emergency program that starts the fan and keep running at a constant average level. When I turn on my pc, I have to repeat this procedure. It's pretty boring, so I was very happy to see that the new BIOS has solved my problem. Maybe someone knows a solution.
    I know there are already discussions with stuttering in the game, but the solutions won t fit for me.

    I use a pilot updated the gfx, because Toshiba release new ones.
    My system is a Toshiba Satellite P100-354
    Processor: 2 GHz dual core
    gfx: geforce go 7900gs 512 MB with forceware v185.20
    OS: Win Vista 32 bit Ultimate

    > I use a pilot updated the gfx because Toshiba release new ones.
    I think that's the reason. No Toshiba drivers don t have overheating protection and therefore the graphics card may be damaged. It s recommended to use the drivers from the site of Toshiba, because with these drivers, you are on the safe side.

    Check the Toshiba website for the latest drivers and I think that the problem will be solved:

  • Satellite P100-196 - Bios (4.80) includes the update of the EC/KBC?

    Anyone know if the update of the BIOS of the Satellite P100 (4.80) includes the update of the EC/KBC? I downloaded the BIOS on this site and installed it but it does not show if the EC/KBC has been updated as well.

    If there is an update that is separated from the EC/KBC where can I download it?

    Hey mate,

    If there is no update EC/KBC special on the Toshiba site, I assume that it s included in the update of the BIOS. I've never seen such an additional update on the official website of Toshiba, so it seems to be a part of the BIOS update. :)

  • Satellite L40 (PSL48E) - is not restart after BIOS update

    Hello

    My problem is that I have updated the BIOS and after that the machine does not restart. (Corrupt BIOS?)

    After that the BIOS updated (Satellite L40 PSL48E), reboot the machine and with the F2 key, I open the BIOS setup.
    I check the version of the BIOS (5.50) and complete the configuration of the BIOS. The machine must restart now...
    Not at all, the machine does not restart. No screen only the powerled lights.

    I can to fix it on my own as a BIOS reset?

    Thank you for the cooperation.

    It's strange because after that the updated BIOS update you can go into the BIOS.

    However, try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait one hour and then put the battery back in and connect the AC adapter. Try again.

    If it doesn't work it is something wrong with the hardware or BIOS and must be checked by a technician for laptop.
