Satellite Pro 410 - CDT - access the BIOS

Please, anyone could advise if it is possible to access BIOS through a sequence of keys to change the priority of the boot to access the CD drive first. I have a damaged Windows installation and am unable to get a bootable CD of diskette or bootable to work.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter,.

You will need access to the BIOS during system startup. DSepending on the age of your laptop and the BIOS manufacturer, the key combination may vary, but generally the following keys are used: -.

ESC then F1 will enter the BIOS

The F2 BIOS Setup mode

The F8 BIOS boot mode

BIOS F12 boot device selection mode.

Above the keys must be held down during boot of the system, until the confirmation message usually appears on the start screen, or until the BIOS mode is displayed.

    Hi GrahamB,

    Sorry, that normally Toshiba does not provide any disassembly manuals! You can find some tips for disassembly in these forum, but not for these old machines!

    Either you try it yourself or contact a Service partner and ask for a tip to remove the card!

    When you try it for your own please be careful because a damaged pension costs more than a brief phone call!

  • Satellite Pro 6100 - after updating the BIOS, it does not

    Hello

    I am trying to upgrade my old of Satellite Pro 6100.

    I started to upgrade the Bios via download from Toshiba (using WIN) site - OK downloaded zip files and installed, machine then stops. Problem, it does not restart - it's so now I have a laptop 'death' that is not responding to any key I tried.

    Any suggestions of resuscitation?

    Already I've updated from XP to SP2.

    Thank you

    Paul

    Hello

    It sounds like that the BIOS update has failed and your laptop can start t again. But try this workaround:
    Remove the AC adapter and the battery and then wait an hour. After that reconnect the adapter AC/DC and battery. Try to start the laptop.

    If it doesn t work I think that the motherboard needs to be replaced or you go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can reflash the ROM module
    But maybe you can find a motherboard of second hand cheap on eBay

  • Satellite Pro A200 - question on the BIOS update

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) with Windows Vista and XP that have been installed recently.
    In the driver of Toshiba page (BIOS update) says:

    "This Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!"

    (1) should I update my BIOS (1.4) or it'll be a problem for my windows XP?

    (2) anyone has try?

    (3) is there documentation on the BIOS updates (bug fixes, etc.)?

    Hello

    I will try to be very short with answers:
    1. If you use Windows XP Home edition on your laptop have BIOS update with the version 5.30
    2 this version of BIOS is available for days and it is possible that many people already tried. By the way: until Toshiba out something that is tested and verified.
    3. Unfortunately there is documentation about bugs and patches, but the fact is that Toshiba has designed the 5.30 version to support the features of Windows XP Home edition on the models of laptops designed Vista

    Which HDD mode did you use before the BIOS update? Perhaps this option, you need to change, then Windows will start up again.

    I have tryied to get out a map of Moser for 24 hours battery - but it did not help.

    Hey,.

    Unfortunately, I don't think that an authorized service provider can help you get rid of the password because they have special tools to do and how to do it. Maybe some jumpers must be defined, but I put t know

  • Satellite Pro S500-14Z - how to access the BIOS?

    Hello

    on the Satellite Pro S500-14Z I can´t access the BIOS via F2 and can´t change the bootpriority through F12. By pressing F2 or F12 during startup, the S500 beeps and restarts. When you first start, I had access to the Bios and set the password and active supervisor module TPM. Since I have no access to the BIOS before Windows starts. Is there another key to access bios (I tried ESC, DEL, F1, INS) or how can I change the pw supervisor (I know my real password!) and disable the TPM?

    Thank you
    Karl

    Hi karlS_1,

    Normally you can access the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows starts. It works with an external keyboard?

    You can change some settings in the BIOS using Toshiba HWsetup. This tool is preinstalled on your laptop and you can change the order of boot with this tool.

    Hello

    First of all you n t need to access the BIOS to boot from the CD.
    You can simply press the F12 key immediately after the laptop has been powered.
    It would show the available boot options.

    Alternatively, you can press the C button that would automatically allow the CD/DVD drive as the boot source.
