Satellite Pro L40 PSL43E: How update BIOS

Hello

I hope someone can help please?

My Sat Pro L40 was entering into an infinite loop of BSOD, and I think I This reduces up to an update of the BIOS that I need.

I downloaded the correct one for my laptop model: PSL43E.

I saved on the desktop and extract the files to a folder on the desktop.

The instructions on this site say run the *.exe file

I see only 2; that which is a small file winflash.exe.manifest and the winflash (and has an icon of chip next to him) to research in the properties of this file, it says it's an .exe file so I tried to run it.

File pos up to with the "is it the right of a warning" I click ok and about 15 seconds later, a box appears looking for a file name and in the name of box says "here for the Fill bios image file.

I'm at a loss what to do next because I can't get the update of the BIOS works properly.

The laptop opens in safe mode on a user account inactive that I've never used (it does not open in safe mode in my own user account and enter the BSOD loop).

Help, please!

Great tips Maurice! ;)

    I think that the laptop supports Atheros 11 b/g wireless network card, so you will need to install the Atheros Wlan driver.

    Here, I sketch the history with the my two Satellite Pro L40 - 15A (PSL4BE).

    Cell phone 1:
    a. BIOS 1.60
    b. upgrading to Windows * XP * to 5.50 _For Windows XP_
    c. programme stop the PC from the start, with a progress remains empty bar!
    d. first boot in the BIOS showing version 5.50 (!), but then: dead (black screen)
    e. taken for an ASP.
    f. after 15 minutes and for as little as 35 it has been resolved, and BIOS updated to 2.00
    g. explanation of the ASP guy was it was my fault, because since the laptop is with Vista installed, I couldn't do a upgrade the BIOS of XP!
    h. sold the laptop with BIOS 2.00

    Laptop 2:

    f. first boot in the BIOS showing version 5.50 (!), but then: dead (black screen) (as 1 laptop)
    g. tried every combination of secret keys, CD, USB, floppy drive, but nothing could do the trick to force a BIOS loading, as the ASP was indeed able to do with my laptop 1!

    i. but now, the laptop still has BIOS 1.60

    Hello

    Here you can find the traditional versions of updated BIOS for this laptop model:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/415039398/BIOS-2.0-psl4be-Vista.zip.html
    http://rapidshare.com/files/415039409/BIOS-5.5-psl4be-XP.zip.html

    So you can update the BIOS using a USB bootable or external USB FDD drive.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L40 - killed the laptop BIOS update

    Recently I thought it would be better to download the latest drivers and upgrades for my Satellite pro L40 to keep up-to-date and partners the laptop that works smoothly. I couldn't have worse summer. Before I updated the new driver updates I thought it would be a good idea first update the Bios. So I downloaded the update of the Bios on the Toshiba site, unzipped the files and followed the online instructions for updating the BIOS. I double clicked on the BIOS file to run the update, the laptop says it was end the session, I waited and the Toshiba logo screen came. In the instructions, it says that I have to press F2 now and confirm that the date and time are correct. I should then press F9 to load all the default values and then press F10 to save and exit. At this point, the laptop must away to the loading screen, but... I got a black screen. IV turned off the computer and turn it back on, but still, I get a blank screen. The lights are on but know one's home.

    Could a mod/staff/Board Toshiba administrator please explain to me why I'm going to draw the consequences of my lack full on my face because I followed a form of direct teaching of personnel of Toshiba or... Please run me through the process of bring back my cell partners in life, before that I get my Crown snatched jewels. This isn't a laugh. An upgrade directly from the manufacturer is not intended to cause you problems!

    Please get back to me as soon as POSSIBLE. My first son moments of life (videos, photos) are on this laptop. That cannot be replaced. Please tell me that the laptop can be fixed...

    Hello Durks

    I'm really sorry to hear you I have this problem.
    To be honest, it is not easy to discuss about this because a lot of people on this forum with a similar or same problem reacts quite aggressive if they don t hear exactly the thing they want to hear.

    In any case, I just want to write my comment. Don t be worried about photos and other important data. You can remove the laptop HARD drive, put it in a small box of HDD SATA 2.5 and connect the HARD drive to the other PC / laptop as external device. You will have full access to all stored data. So you can do the backup.

    Update the BIOS.
    What to say at this point?
    I have checked the Toshiba download page and saw that the BIOS update is available for Windows XP Home edition and Vista pre-installed notebooks so I hope you ve chosen the right one. Anyway, it is not easy to fix screwed up in the BIOS. You hate me now, but I think you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Call them, explain the situation and ask what you can do about it.

    I hope you will fix this laptop soon.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite Pro L40 PSL43E - need drivers for sound card for XP

    Bought the PSL43E model Toshiba Satellite Pro L40, configured with Vista. Our Application does not work on Vista, had to downgrade to XP Pro. Impossible to find suitable Sound Driver for XP Pro. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I think that the laptop must support the audio chip high-definition Intel HDA (Azalia) ADI AD1986A.

    Check Intel page for the compatible driver or you would use the audio driver for the * series Satellite L40 PSL40E * or * series Equium L40 PSL41E *.

    Hi softrice,

    On Windows XP, and high-definition sound cards, to install two hotfixes first before you can install the sound card driver:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/835221

    These fixes are included in the SP3 so alternative, you can install this rather unique updates.

  • Satellite Pro U200: unable to update BIOS to v.3.70 - WIN

    Model No.: Satellite Pro U200 PLUA1E
    OS: Vista Business SP2
    Current BIOS: v. 3.50

    Try to update the BIOS to v3.70

    When I run P0044v370, I get a Windows Script Host message:

    "Script:
    C:\ProgramData\Toshiba\Common\_cabBDF1.tmp\autoExe c.vbe

    Code: 8007007E
    "Source: WScript.CreateObject".

    I want to update the BIOS before the upgrade from 1 GB to 4 GB of memory. Also my U200 Pro keeps crashing and whenever before it restarts, I get a message saying something like "try to install the latest version of the BIOS" (it is not on the screen very long sorry can't be more accurate).

    I don't have have the recovery CD, I'm trying to boost performance because it runs very slowly.

    Everything is - I am in your forum people good hands! Thanks in advance.

    You have what Windows OS installed.
    It is Win XP?

    Update the BIOS needs an installation of the common Modules, so don't forget not that the common Modules are installed or this software update.
    The CM is on the page of the European driver Toshiba

    In addition, the P0044v370.exe unpacks the package I recommend creating a folder on the desktop and to decompress the files in P0044v370.exe first. Then move to this new folder and run the exe file in the folder.

  • Satellite Pro L300: BSOD after updating BIOS

    Hello

    After updating the Bios of the Satellite Pro L300, windows will not start!
    His show the blue screen of death!

    What can I do?

    Hello

    You are able to access the BIOS settings?
    I m not very well why this BSOD appears, but eventually the SATA mode settings have been changed after the BIOS update

    Usually the SATA mode must be on AHCI if the SATA drivers are installed.
    But if the SATA drivers are not included the SATA mode must be set to compatible.

    Please check this!

    In addition, you could set the BIOS default settings and may try to start the computer again.

  • Satellite Pro A300 (PSAG9E) - after updating BIOS Windows will not start

    Restart went well after update BIOS and Windows XP logo appears loads for a few seconds then a beep and restart - last good known or start Windows normally same effect.
    Reboot back to start - this is a new laptop - using the BIOS of Toshiba s official download site.

    Quite annoyed to try to find a way to upgrade or downgrade the BIOS.
    Took battery and RAM to see if I can delete it?

    Any ideas anyone?

    I think you mean BIOS * update * and do not upgrade ;)
    An upgrade is not possible

    However, you can try to remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour. After that, reconnect the battery and the AC adapter and try to start Windows.
    Moreover I would load the default settings in the BIOS before starting Windows.

    If it doesn't work, it seems that your ROM module needs to be reflashed. In this case an ASP can help you.

    Hello

    First of all he must know that if you use the bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure, can damage the laptop (motherboard)
    I checked the Toshiba page and it seems that, currently, the BIOS release is 25/04/06 - version 2.6

    Please check this BIOS FAQ document:

  • Satellite Pro L40 PSL43E I need to find all the drivers XP

    I need to find all the XP drivers for this laptop in particular. Any ideas where I can find them. on this site, I get only the ' how downgrade "Pease help ASAP.

    If these drivers are available, you will be able to find these drivers on the European driver Toshiba page.

    If the drivers are not available on the European driver Toshiba page, the pilots were not released.

    But I have a suspicion; I found some XP for Sat L40 series drivers. Some series supports the same devices and so the drivers should work also.
    Check some unique XP from different L40 series drivers and maybe he would go.

  • Satellite Pro L40 PSL43E: Unable to connect to wireless local area network

    Hello to everyone who reads,

    I've had this laptop for about 12 months and a few days ago while trying to connect to the internet, she advised that I was not connected to my router.

    I have another laptop, it connects well with wireless and it connects fine using the ethernet cable but wireless!
    Especially, when I switch the radio power on/off using the small switch on the front the same symbol rises (the cell phone, red circle with a red slash through it, then the sign of the internet!)

    I tried the update of the driver for the Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network wireless adapt and not much happened!

    I'm not in portable computers in a big way so any advise given better would become simple?
    I saw some stuff about the removal of the cards and other things? but I don't know where to start!

    Is it a common thing with these laptops?
    Need help please, I desperately need my laptop wireless.

    Thanks a lot to all in advance
