Satellite P500 - how to recover the BIOS?

Hi all

Has someone any direction to recover a P500 with corrupt BIOS (starts and beeps but screen blank and fails to load OS)?

Thos occurred after a failure WinPhlash updated fronm the Toshiba support site.

I note a certain activity CD/DVD rom on andFn power + ESC seems to have an impact if help down while turning the power on, but I need to know what files to download and put them on a CD or a USB flash drive. Welcome Guide.

Just in case where the model is a PSPE8A-025002.

Thanks for your possible suggestions.

Rob

Hey,.

BIOS recovery is not possible and it can only be done from an authorized service provider. The guys have to reflash the ROM module with special tools and need a special version of the BIOS for this procedure.

You can find a list of aspic here:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > find an authorized service provider

I know that it s not the easiest way, but you n t have other options ;)

  • Satellite U300 - how to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?

    Attempt to update the BIOS of my U300-153, which is described as an operating system independent on the download page, I find that the upgrade file is provided in
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090304140640.zip
    does not include the files to create a bootable CD, as described in the instructions to the
    IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07
    where Option 2 step 2 lists the files that are in the zip, and they are required to make a bootable cd. The files listed are not in the zip.

    It forces me to use Windows. My Windows is broken and I can't fix it, because Windows repairs destroy data (clearly indicated on the packaging of recovery CD) and installations of Linux. My Linux works very well, and I don't want the windows more.

    So how can I upgrade the BIOS? Either:
    1. use a true independent bundle of BONES (ie the promised approach of bootable CD). I can't find such a thing here.
    2 reinstall Windows, which trashes the laptop.

    Any suggestions?

    Sincerely,

    > How to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?
    Is not possible since the BIOS on Toshiba page is a victory-based BIOS version and if you want to update the BIOS then you need to install the Windows operating system and then you can run the exe file

    Hi guys,.

    I have a laptop, it's a Toshiba Satellite C660D-15F
    Part No.: PSC0UE-02R00MFR

    At the start it blocks on password (Bios), but the owner does not remember it.
    I know there are 2 knots on the motherboard to the jumper to reset the BIOS.
    Can someone tell me what is the label of these winks or give me a solution to unlock the BIOS?

    Thank you very much

    BIOS password is very important security feature and we can not discuss this topic on the public forum. Why protect my phone when someone who steals, he can post it on the forum of Toshiba might ask how to remove my protection?

    BIOS password must be removed by Toshiba approved technicians after verification if you are the real owner.

  • Satellite A210 how to reset the BIOS password unknown?

    Hey guys

    I have a BIOS password on my Toshiba Satellite A210, I have no idea what it can be. One day, when I turned on my laptop, it came with a black screen with a blue rectangle in the Middle says "Enter password". I tried to enter my Windows login password, but it did not work.

    After 3 times to try the laptop password puts himself off the coast. No member of my house using my pc, and even if they did, they don't know how to do something like that anyway. Also, I have seen on other forums that it occurred to people for no reason.

    Another thing, I would like to try one of the programs of resetting the BIOS as KeyDisk or CmosPWD but if I put a CD, DVD, Flash drive, etc, in my pc and press F12 for the boot menu, nothing happens so I can't do that!

    Please help, I can't use my PC and I am currently on my sisters pc!

  • Satellite M70 - how to remove the BIOS password?

    Hello

    last November my boyfriend Satellite M70 laptop locked up shortly after recieveing a toshiba mail asking if he would renew his warranty. Unfortunately it didn't renew it, then the computer becomes usless.

    We got the screen and it works again all he needed was a few costs but it asks the BIOS password that was never given to hmio that his cell phone was a model ex-affichage.
    If someone could help, I would be very great ful because we need this laptop for everyday life.

    > last November my boyfriend Satellite M70 laptop locked shortly after receiving an e-mail from toshiba asking if he would renew his warranty. Unfortunately he renew it n t and the computer become so useless
    It's really amazing that the laptop began to malfunction after receiving this email from Toshiba. It its a little scary s
    but I think that it is simply "bad luck"...

    However, the point is that the BIOS password can not be removed this can be done by ASP (certified partner).
    In my opinion, you should contact the guy to get the deleted BIOS password.

  • Satellite A300 - how to recover the operating system without a recovery disk?

    First of all, sorry for my very bad English.

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300, PC 9 months ago. I had problems with a virus and result is that despite clean-up and disinfection, the computer is still infected and I refused access to the hard drives and regedit.

    I thought restoring the operating system factory preinstaled (hopefully, this is the solution and not the formatting) and Barrie told me to check out http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    I did it, but the PC it's imposible because there is no files. I don't have a rescue CD (if newbee).

    What can I do?

    Hello

    Usually the A300 (European series) has been equipped with HARD drive recovery option which would be you allows to recover the laptop using the files on the HARD drive. But if this is not possible while something went wrong with the maybe HDD it s due to the infection by the virus

    In any case if you are not able to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive you need the recovery disc.
    You can order it as suggested by resident on the other hand, you can use the MS Windows Vista disk and can download driver Toshiba page.

  • Satellite M40 - how to reflash the BIOS with the same version?

    Hey guys read the forums trying to find a solution for my problem. After that I reformatted the hard drive with the original CD every time you restart computer that wifi will go down, even if the switch is turned "on" and will not come on until you turn off manually and powered.

    The last time I fixed it by the BIOS update (newer) 1.70 this time I can't reflash BIOS since it's flash-based window and it verifies that I have 1.70. I reinstalled the latest drivers and software for all. I have searche too many old BIOS files if someone older mind Sending via 1.60, 1.50, for this computer would be nice greatrly it is M40 (PSM40E), it is the model with the video card Nvidia 6600.
    Or any idea how can I reflash 1.70 again?

    Thank you, Daniel

    Hello!

    Flashing the BIOS with an equal or older version is not possible. Therefore, you must go to an authorized service provider.
    Technicians can relfash with a same or older version.

    If you don't know where is the nearest ASP you should look on the Toshiba site. There you can search for it.

    Good bye
