Satellite Pro L40 - after I start the update of the BIOS, nothing happens

I'm trying to update my BIOS version 2.00 - WIN for Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE.
My OS is Vista 64 bit.

I downloaded the file and run the .exe but nothing happens.

I also tried to copy the files on a diskette and start with a floppy disk, however, I get an error message saying to remove the diskette in the drive on startup. Any help please?

First update the BIOS for Satellite Pro L40 is based on Windows it of possible to update in DOS mode.

Also, I checked the Web from Toshiba site and I can only find a BIOS for Windows XP and Windows Vista 32-bit.
It seems that the update of the BIOS is not supported for Vista 64-bit.

If you want to update, you need to change to 32 bit Vista or XP. Then you can update the BIOS.
Don t forget this version 2.00 - WIN is for Vista 32 bit and 5.50 - WIN XP.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - how to enable the WLan using ConfigFree

    Can you help me?

    My English is bad I do not end.

    The question is:
    My computer is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 and I use the ConfigFree for the wireless, but it seems that the WiFi network is disabled.

    Help please!
    I want to know what's wrong

    Thank you!!

    Hello!

    Your wireless network card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager, or you may notice a yellow exclamation?
    Her check first because otherwise, you can get the WLAN to work.

    In addition, you can activate WLAN with the material on the laptop switch which must be set on and the FN + F8 key combination.
    Check it!

    After this Free Config should find your WLAN router if you are in the range of that.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L40 does not start after changing the BIOS settings

    Changed some settings in the bios last night and now when I boot I get a screen black lights flash and hard drive lights up but nothing on the screen.

    There is no password on the bios... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

    I put a windows disc now, I hear the disc spin but nothing on the screen

    (I think that I have come to the right place on the forum)

    It s a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 model psl4be.

    Thank you

    > There was no bios password... How would a BIOS reset to normal?

    You can set the default BIOS ONLY inside the BIOS access BIOS by pressing F2 or at the beginning of the initialization of the order

    But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
    Maybe it s just a simple bad luck that this problem happened exactly after change something in the BIOS.

    Try connecting an external monitor and check if you can see something on the 2nd screen.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - after upgrade to Windows 7, the FN keys do not work

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite Pro L40 PSL4BE and have just upgraded to Windows 7. Since the upgrade I can no longer use the function key and the top and down arrows to control the volume. Keys F6 F7 & still control the brightness so I don't know the function key still works.

    Anyone know if it is a driver problem or nobody knows how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Drew.

    Hello

    You need to install the package of value added for Satellite Pro L40. This package contains all the necessary drivers for the FN keys. Then please install or update VAP if you have already installed an earlier version.
    Here you can download: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Can you confirm that FN keys work with installed VAP?

  • Satellite Pro L40 does not start

    When I turn on my Satellite Pro L40 it shows me a screen asking me to start to repair windows or start windows normally.
    When you choose the option it brings me to the same screen.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you very much

    Salvation will be

    For me, it looks like the OS installed was confused for no apparent reason
    If you are not able to boot into the Windows XP operating system and if the repair option doesn t helps to start in safe mode I n t see any other possibility as to boot from the Toshiba restore CD and reinstall the OS again!

    But note; boot from the restore CD will format the whole HARD drive and you will lose all files stored on the HARD drive. ?

    It is a drastic procedure but in my eyes he's the only one who could allows to solve this problem.

  • Satellite Pro L40 is not start!

    Hello

    I just got a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 and I tried to install WinXP and WinVista on it, but after the 'realtek boot agent' screen, the screen remains black.

    Once I recognized that it is not working properly, I went into the BIOS to change the order of boot or something. But he wasn't listed CD/DVD player and there was no option to boot from USB.

    You have a solution for this problem?

    Thank you...

    This means that your CD/DVD drive does not appear in the BIOS and you can not boot from the CD recovery Toshiba or from the Microsoft windows CD?

    Everything you say seems strange to me

    In the worst case I would recommend contact the authorized service provider in your country for control of computer laptop because it s a new laptop computer and the guarantee must cover everything!

  • Satellite Pro A300-257 while flashing the BIOS

    Hello

    I have a dilemma. I recently installed windows 7 on my laptop of girlfriends who is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-257, everything went well until I tried to update the Bios. I followed all instructions on the toshiba site had to put the model number in to get good bios double checked and triple checked before running the program, but when I ran the system crashed to halfway through the closed system update and now it wont even boot lights are on cd player is ROAR a few stays on black screen.

    I read many forums and it seems im not the only one with this problem.
    I just got the phone to toshiba and they say im not covered because I does not you can call and go through it with them on the phone, even if at no time did he tell me to do that I followed the instructions of there Web site.
    I also confirmed with them that I used the correct bios but they say that they are unable to prove that and I can put in the wrong information that I did not.

    In my view, there is a program that will allow me to boot from the cd so I don't have to go out and buy a reader external floppy to Flash the bios, I think that his winflash. Unfortunately, all I can find is the executable program on there website which im guessing will not start work.
    Anyone know where I can find the prog to update the bios and the bios file so I can create a cd bootable to Flash the bios.

    Any help will be appreciated with gratitude

    Thank you very much

    Hi mate

    I m afraid there is no alternative to reflash the BIOS to the traditional version of BIOS who can start the BIOS updated using an external USB drive and the floppy disk.

    The European driver Toshiba page contains only the BIOS Win-based that can be updated when the windows operating system. The traditional BIOS is not available for download. Only authorized service partners have access to this version of BIOS and that's why I don t see any alternative as to get in touch with the guys and to ask for help.

  • Satellite Pro A300-1E7 - cannot start the cam software

    I bought the Satellite Pro A300-1E7.
    Webcam does not work in MSN messenger video call.
    Will have problems similar to the previous posting, except that I use Zonealarm.

    I think that Zonealarm has disputed cec_main.exe in a similar way.
    I tried to follow the instructions here, but without much success.
    I removed the Camera Assistant SOftware and re-installed the driver but does not seem to have improved things.
    Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.

    Any ideas please?

    Hello

    I used the Zonealarm happened and I was not really satisfied, because this software locked everything and most of the applications didn't work properly even after the new configuration! Finally, I removed this software and I noticed more advantage. my laptop starts much faster!
    I think this software would lock the cam software too.

    > Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.
    This means that the software has been removed and is not installed correctly.
    But to be sure, check in Control Panel-> Software (Add & Remove Programs) if the webcam is installed.

    I have the internal cam of Chicony too and it s works well as part of the software Skype. I didn't test t MSN but I don t see serious reasons why it shouldn't t work.

    In my view, you must first remove the zonealarm. Then clean the OS using CCleaner. Finally, redownload the webcam software and reinstall it!

    The toolbar of the webcam is not always visible on the desktop.
    It seems that if you move it the mouse cursor to the place where the webcam tool bar was hidden.

  • Satellite Pro L10 will not start the system

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L10, which won't work for some reason any.

    The last time that I used it, it worked perfectly fine, but now all I get is a black filtered message on "windows starts do not successfully»

    It indicates that the computer is not responding and asked me to choose one of the five options - safe mode, safe mode with network, security mode command, last known configuration, prompt or start windows normally.

    There is also a 30 second countdown if I do nothing the portable samekh automatically.
    It is, none of these things work.

    Everything that happens with any option is to a thought very much time on things, then it goes to a black screen with a time/processing bar downstairs, then when that ends it turns itself off, samekh, mw windows page shows (with f2 and f4/f10? options) and the process is repeated.

    He did about 50 times now and still nothing.
    I tried the command ctrl/alt/del, I tried to turn if off and try again, I even opened the f options but I don't know enough about computers to do more.

    Help, please!

    If possible I would like to get the computer on long enough to verify what documents I have on this subject before I can back up (if necessary) and restore it to the factory settings (as I predicted), or if this is not possible, I do not think that there is a lot to lose in this respect in any case, am prepared to take it all back to factory if necessary. I have all necessary installation CD and manuals to go with.

    hope this makes sense and I gave you all you need to know.

    Thanks, B

    It seems that the laptop is not able to boot the system, but I m not quite sure if it s because of the defective system or HARD drive corruption.
    If it s just a system problem, the installation of the new Windows operating system should help you to get it resolved.

    In case the HARD disk is defective, you need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the system.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: cannot get into the BIOS and does not start

    I have a portable Satellite pro 6100, en I was trying to boot from an external USB hard drive. When I activated the second hard drive option in the BIOS it has stopped booting all in all, I can't even get into the BIOS Setup more. All I get is "In touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA" screen with the icons to select the method of priming preferred manually after it's just blank screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left.

    Press ESC or F8 before to turn usually results in fast beeps sounds.
    Press tilde (~) before turn is reflected in the remaining space screen (not even the home toshiba screen appears) and slow Zens sounds.

    Apart from that I can't really do nothing at all.
    I tried to reset the BIOS by disconnecting the battery CMOS/RTC (hoewever, we call it) of the motherboard for a while with no results.

    Turn on/off without the results of HD internal in a white screen with an ERROR 'IDE #0.
    I can always stop by pressing the power button, you don't have to bother on the external hard drive it past I don't even want it works more.

    Suggestions?

    Hello

    I agree with Graeme. Your HARD drive is probably faulty. Sorry, but I don't think that you will be able to use the external HARD drive. The option in the BIOS is not for EXTERNAL HARD drive is just, I guess, for disk HARD placed in select Bay.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - after sleep mode the mouse no longer works

    Hi all

    Hope you can help me with this problem because I believe that I have tried everything I know and my next step is really formatting all the computer again and again without knowing if it will work this time, because that's what I just did, during the upgrade to win 7.

    I have 2 problems:

    When the computer goes into sleep mode and I start it backup - the mouse stops working, unless I have move to another usb port. I get a message on usb can run faster...

    Another problem is a program of freezing at this point as well, this program is Oracle JDeveloper, don't know if that has to do any?

    I tried to update ALL the drivers of toshibas webpage - these problems still...

    Help, please!

    Would rather not format again...!

    Christian

    Hello

    Can you please tell us which version of Windows 7, you have installed? I mean if you have 32-bit or 64-bit.

    Is it just that you use an external mouse?
    The touchpad works after sleep mode? If so I think that it s something wrong with the external mouse maybe.

    By the way: make sure that you use the latest version of the BIOS. You can find it on the page of Toshiba.

    And as for the question of the Oracle, I think you should communicate directly with Oracle support. ;)

  • Satellite Pro A200 - HDD recognised by the BIOS but not in the startup list

    Hello

    After some problems with the virus of my laptop is not able to start more. How reset BIOS ignores the boot from the HARD drive and try to start either from CD or network. The HARD drive is recognized by the BIOS (it appears as 1 hard drive in the home page). In the selection screen startup list preferences appear only floppy drive, CD/DVD and network.

    The hard drive can be mounted and browsed without any problem of windows or Linux. I tried to install both systems and the installation always succeeds but when rebooting the system is not able to boot from the hard drive.

    I guess it's a BIOS problem, but I'm not sure about this. What do you think?

    By the way how do I update the BIOS without having neither windows nor floppy drive?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi mate,

    I m a bit confused now as a first step, you wrote that the computer can boot from the HARD drive, but then you t wrote you browse the HDD with Windows and Linux

    I'm not sure this is the problem of this but I recommend to load the default settings in the BIOS.

    If your HARD drive doesn t work could be defective (bad sectors or something else). You could test with special diagnostics as Drive Fitness Test Tools. It s a freeware tool so you can find it using Google.

    By the way: have you tried to install Windows with the Toshiba Recovery disk?
