Satellite Pro A30: after disk HARD replacing the BIOS does not see DVD or HARD disk

Hello

I bought a new Pro A30 of Satellite earlier.
Shortly after, I noticed the system sometimes
would freeze, with a rattling of the HD.
A reboot cold was the only solution.
I was told to replace the HD I did but the
problem persisted with the new HD.

I tried a known working HD and the problem still persisted.
At this point, the warranty period has increased.
Frost started happening more regularly, and
now, the BIOS does not recognize the HD player or DVD.
It starts and then try to boot from the network,
because he doesn't have a HD or DVD player.

At this point, I think I need a new system board.
Someone at - it other advice or seen this problem
before?

Thank you
Ray

Hello

What happens if you remove the CD/DVD drive or the HARD drive?
The laptop recognizes one of these devices?
Have you used the devices recommended by Toshiba?

in any case, this seems very strange and the dysfunction of the motherboard is not impossible

  • BIOS update failed on Satellite Pro A60 - how can I replace the bios chip?

    Hello, I'm in trouble of deeep.

    I tried to update my bios but something went wrong

    I have to desolder the bios and replace it with a new?

  • Satellite Pro P300-276: switch WLan on the front does not work

    Hello.

    I have a problem with my laptop and would like to receive help or ideas. The switch to forward wireless network adapter does not work.

    It works when I push it to the right and keep pushing it. Then light work, he finds the network, and the convenience store told me that everything is working well. When I let go, the light turns off, it can't find the network and the convenience store tells me that I have to put on the wireless network adapter.

    I suspect that it is a physical problem and I need to get the machine repaired. But if someone has a quick easy solution or a recommendation, then I would like.

    I'm online now using an ethernet cable (via a powerline adapter, which I tend to use anyway). Furthermore, the laptop is great and I love the big screen.

    Thanks in advance,

    Matthew

    Yes, in my opinion, his mechanical problem in something wrong with the switch may be a loser contact

    I think that the one and only one solution: laptop must be disassembled and the switch needs to be replaced

    But it is not easy and to be honest I advise to use a dongle USB external WiFi instead of paying lots of money to get this replaced change.

  • BIOS does not see the hard drive

    For my Presario 6620DK, I bought a Western Digital 160 GB PATA HARD drive, which I want to install instead of the original Samsung SV0602H 60 GB ATA-100.

    Unfortunately, bios does not see the new HD. If I'm on the old hard drive, it is recognized by the bios.

    I have the jumper in the right position for Cable Select.

    What do I have to get new HD work?

    Hi, Arne:

    There is the outside possiblilty of the drive is bad.

    You have another PC, you can test it in?

    You have a 120 GB of HARD drive, you can test in the PC?

    If she sees the 120 GB HARD drive and not 160 GB HARD drive, then you have your answer.

  • Does anyone know how to connect a Garmin GPS to the EOS 7 d? The camera does not see.

    When I plug in my Garmin GPS on my EOS 7 d and go into the GPS settings in the menu. The camera does not see all I get is "GPS not connected indication." The GPS turned on and functional. Someone at - it ideas?

    Once I had an application that you had photographed the display of a GPS device (the type that a rider could use because they observe "breadcrumbs" trail of your itinerary) on #1 chassis (they wanted to just make sure that you have a picture of the time on the GPS display.

    You then go about your day taking photos with the GPS running indepdently.

    At the end of the day, you import the images and it asks you to enter the time displayed on the first photo.  It uses the display of GPS time and calculates the offset of the time, the camera recorded in the EXIF data (just in case the clocks were not perfectly synchronized).  Then she uses the breadcrumbs on the GPS track and apply the GPS position, data for each photo from your camera roll.

    It was a bit complicated and app tried to take over your App "photo management" (which I didn't... "I wanted just the position data added to the existing images), but it worked.

    The fact is... I was able to add correction of position information to each photo and it did not require actually integrate the GPS to the camera (it was quite after the fact).

    Today, I own the module GPS Canon (MUCH more convenient), so I don't deal with that more.

  • Satellite Pro C660 bricked by update of the BIOS that failed

    My sister asked me to update his laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-16N; The part number PSC0ME-01S00SEN) of Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) of Windows 8 (64-bit).
    So I did.

    Then I went UK from Toshiba Web site to check if there are any drivers I had to install for Windows 8. The only one was an update of the BIOS (for BIOS v1.70). I don't know what was the previous BIOS version number.

    So I run the update application in Windows 8. Phoenix WinPhlash Technologies starts and then in the middle of the update, everything freezes.

    The trackpad would not move the cursor or anything like that. I had no choice but to disconnect the phone from the wall and remove the battery. The laptop is not under warranty.

    Of course, now it won't turn. It will beep once when I press the power button, but the system does not light. A few minutes later, it looks like one long beep and two short beeps. It then keeps repeating this sequence every two minutes "one long beep, 2 short beeps".

    I google and read the site after the blog after the post on the forum, but nothing works. Links to the software offered on these forums/blogs/Web sites in french are usually dead, so I can't try what they suggest.

    The most common solution is the Phoenix crisis recovery tool. I managed to download v1.0.0.4 which is supposed to allow me to make a bootable USB key. The version of this tool that I downloaded is supposed to be for a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. I have the correct BIOS.rom to C660 Pro Satellite (I renamed BIOS.wph and copied to the appropriate folder).

    I followed all the instructions, but it doesn't seem to work. Some sites say if it happens, I have the wrong version of phlash16.exe. Some other sites say that HP Boot Disk USB Utility should be used, but I don't know how to use it.

    What I really need, is a definitive step by step foolproof guide to know what to do, with links to the files/tools to use for this model of laptop. I will follow this blindly (which I don't really understand what makes each step, I just do it with no understanding,) so if anyone can help me with this, please write a guide like an idiot!

    If anyone can help me with this, I appreciate it. I'm really in a difficult situation - I can't really afford to pay a Toshiba ASP to fix it, and I can't afford a new laptop certainly. But I also couldn't bring myself to tell my sister, ' it's broken, deal!

    Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite Pro 4220 - update the BIOS does not start

    Hello!

    Please, someone tell me what is the problem with the update to v1.60 SP4220 BIOS? It does not start even do it according to instructions.

    I did the following:
    1 download/have unzipped the package v1.60 since the BIOS page on a non-bootable floppy disk empty
    2. put the floppy in the computer
    3. turn on the device with the F12 key

    With a floppy, I got the "non-system disk" error and another with a "EMBRL" error message missing. What is it, I'm not familiar with that one?

    Best regards

    Hello

    Can I ask why you want to update the BIOS?
    You have problems?
    If the laptop works well the update of the BIOS is not necessary! My laptop is about 6 years old and I have no day BIOS!

    However, I think that you didn't use the right update procedure.
    Please check this document before starting the BIOS update:

  • Satellite P25 - DVD-R/RW does not work, the reader does not see the drive

    I have a P25-S609 player gave me problems since it was a new computer. He totally went out then, I replaced the Multi-lecteur with a new FW UJ - 811 t and the thing still does not.
    DVD-RAM fuction is has never worked. I tried different disc and now the new drive.

    I am really disgusted.
    Help!

    Hello buddy

    > the player gave me problems since it was a new computer
    Can you please tell me how old is this model of laptop? It takes about 5 years now. And after a long period of time, you come to the conclusion to exchange the optical disk drive. Strange!

    Anyway have you checked the compatibility with the FW UJ-811 t? the assignment of PIN on all optical disk drives is not the same.

    In any case for DVD - RAM features, you must install driver DVD-RAM. I ve used a long time ago and DVD-RAM P20 worked very well.

    I put t know if the same is available for the models of laptop computers in the United States but check it please United States support page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp

  • Satellite R830-143 - update of the BIOS does not support this operating system

    The package runs, give the progress bar "extract files...". ", then displays a dialogue entitled"TOSHIBA BIOS package Ver.4.1.2"that says:"this package BIOS does not support this operating system."

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit on a Satellite 830R-143 with the short part No. PT32LE

    Does anyone know what is the problem?

    Thanks in advance for your help...

    Hello

    You have problems with the laptop?
    If not then why you want to do the BIOS? Just because the new BIOS is released?
    I would not change anything if my laptop is running correctly.

    However, the update of the BIOS requires the VAP (value added package).
    So remember that this PPV is installed correctly. If this isn't the case, so far.
