• Satellite Pro U400 BIOS update failed - what is the BIOS Boot-block access

  Hello

  My last update of the BIOS has failed and my laptop PSU45E PrU400 Satellite is now out of use.
  I want to use the recovery disk of crisis with a USB floppy drive, but I don't know the key combination to run the boot block.
  Is that someone can help me?

  Best regards

  Hello

  I was wondering what crisis recovery disk you have?  :|
  In my experience the special drive is required, which is available only for ASP technician
  That's why it of necessary to contact the ASP in your country to reflash BIOS.

  In my opinion you shouldn't t try recovery disks of the crisis who loves you in the net, it can drive to the mobo damage

• Satellite A210-16F - BIOS update gone bad

  Yes, the flash upgrade did not go with me as, like many I've seen. Weird that toshiba recommends a bios flash when you get the errors of installation win7 / vista, and have many fail.

  I tried 3 versions of different bios of the internet, 2 from the site of toshiba (2.0 and 2.1, I thought) and alaa200a.rom.

  When I do the disc of crisis with the crisdisk.bat (even do it in DOS) it copies all the files on the floppy disk, also tried different phflash versions. Older actually seem to load for 2 minutes, the most recent tend to charge for a few seconds then stops and starts loading again etc.

  Needless to say that all my efforts with these bios have not paid off for a bit.

  When I put the laptop normally and when I press the Fn key on the keyboard, the Fn actually lights up, but nothing else happens.

  Anyone who would have an idea what to do, apart from buying a new bios chip?

  Thanks in advance.

  PS, I have a Satellite A210-16F PSAELE

  Hello

  I think that you have to contact the ASP (SAV) to reflash the Bios. The Bios failure topics discussed almost every day and no one can give a good solution and more communicating with ASP.

  You can read an article that maybe can be useful for you:

• Satellite Pro M30 Bios Update

  Hello

  I have a satellite pro m30 and I would like to make a bios update. Utility hardware Toshiba says that my bios version is 1.4. The existing updates see 1.2, 1.6, but it says nothing about 1.4.

  Should I take 1.6?

  Any help?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It might be possible that the BIOS version 1.4 is the version of BIOS default manufacturer for this model.

  In my opinion you should take the 1.6 version because it is the most recent and it may be necessary!

• Satellite Pro U300 BIOS update BACK

  Anyone know if I can upgrade the BIOS of my Satellite Pro u300 from a floppy boot BACK, or another way to do an update without Windows? The downloaded utility seems to work only in Windows, I do not use.

  I tried to launch a live Windows CD (BartPE and Ultimate boot CD) but it does not start or shows no graphics.

  I have problems with some hardware and hopes that an update of the BIOS.

  Thank you.

  No, you can not day BACK because Toshiba driver BIOS European page provides only the version of the BIOS win.

  For an update of the BIOS BACK you would need an update of the special BIOS that is not published on the page and is available for Toshiba technicians!

• Satellite Pro L40: Bios update not necessary - no settings for RAM in Bios 1.90

  Hi, I just bought a Satellite Pro L40 laptop and im trying to figure out why the bios has no parameter memory.
  If I look at the ram using a tool of information system (cpuz or aida320), it shows she doesn't move at the speed of 667 mhz but at 533 mhz.

  As you can see from this screenshot the memory runs at the real speed is less than the maximum that the sticks have a rated power.

  http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/4580/cpuz1pj5.jpg

  Its running at 266 mhz (533 mhz ddr) where it should be run at 333 mhz (667 mhz ddr).

  I also noticed that with this laptop fan never seems to come, is it possible to mount the fan?
  Whenever I have the laptop for more than 30 minutes, it becomes very hot.

  Hello

  > if I look at the ram using a tool of information system (cpuz or aida320) it shows that it does not run at the speed of 667 mhz but at 533 mhz.

  What is your FSB?
  If the laptop was equipped with memory PC2-5300 modules then they could run at 667 MHz, but only if the FSB would supports 667 MHz! I think is supported by the FSB of 533 Mhz.
  So I can't say it s nothing wrong!

  > I just bought a Satellite Pro L40 laptop and im trying to figure out why the bios has no parameter memory.
  Why do you think a BIOS update would turn the memory settings in the BIOS?
  Please don t mix of desktop computers laptops! Laptops cannot be overclocked.
  BIOS of laptop computers is not the same thing as a desktop PC BIOS!

  > I also noticed that with this computer laptop fan never seems to come, is there a way to turn the fan to the top? Whenever I have the laptop for more than 30 minutes, it becomes very hot.
  Have you noticed all automatically turn off downs or any other strange behaviors laptop as freezing OS for example?
  If it is then that the laptop runs correctly and doesn't overheat.
  Books to support thermal protection which would be closed the laptop automatically to avoid equipment damage

  Then lean back man and enjoy your nice toy ;)

Power adapter not connected not (it's) battery is less than 10% (it is not) and the BIOS is updated to the version 1.50. When I tried the update the laptop was running 1.00.

  Any ideas how to get back there to wake up? There the reset on the M/B bios?

  Thank you

  Hello

  This can be corrected by a Toshiba service technician.
  It seems that add-on ROM BIOS was flashed incorrectly in this case that the Rom module must be flashed once more using the disc of crisis of the BIOS.
  As far as I know, you can download this disc. Only windows based BIOS is available for download so you need ASP support!

• The update of the BIOS on Satellite Pro U400?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 (PSU41E) running Windows 7 x 64 and I try to update the BIOS to version 4.70 to 4.00.

  Whenever I try to do it from Windows using WinPhlash which comes with the download on the Toshiba site it seems to freeze when you try to Flash the new BIOS.
  I connected as the local administrator, tried to use other programs flash and even tried to do from a USB flash drive with no luck.

  Can someone please help me and explain how do I update the BIOS?

  Hello

  > tried to use other flash programs
  Never use other flash programs! In the worst case, you could damage the ROM module and then it must be replaced. Use only the program flash Toshiba that is tested and designed for laptop and the version of the BIOS.

  The update of the BIOS program is also designed for Windows, it s a Windows Update program.

  Satellite Pro U400 wasn t comes with Windows 7 so I guess you did your own installation. Value added package is required for the update of the BIOS program and can be downloaded on the European driver of Toshiba download page where is your laptop model:

• Re: Satellite Pro U400-160 - freezes when copying larger files or videos

  Hello:

  I have a Satellite Pro U400-160 and a VERBATIM external hard drive USB eSATA combo.

  If I turn on AHCI mode recognizes the drive, but when copying the video files or large file size, the system is frozen. However if I remove the mode AHCI works correctly. I have the version 9.8.9.1023 Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager and my laptop BIOS v4.0 and Windows Vista Business.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Normally the AHCI mode has nothing to do with an external HARD drive. It is only important for the internal HARD disk if you install Windows.

  Anyway, you have installed all the updates of Windows for Vista?
  In addition, you should test another external HARD disk or with another cable.

• Satellite Pro U400 - cannot install VAP on Vista 64-bit

  Hello
  Since I bought 4GB of RAM for my Satellite Pro U400 PSU45E, I installed vista Business 64-bit, with all drivers and bios 64 bit found on the toshiba site.
  easy, with the exception of the "value added package 1.1.19", whenever I try to install I get: error "failure of GetProfString."

  I installed every driver and utility for 64-bit, but still the same...
  Everyone has experienced with this?

  Without VAP, I can't use the Toshiba power saver, worst profiles I can't go back because I did a new install and deleted the recovery partition!
  Please, someone help!

  Hello

  VAP contains all the modules necessary and you n t need to install other tools in order to install VAP
  I think that it s a Vista may issue you should do a clean install, then you must update the Vista for the last State.
  After have installed all the patches Vista, try to install VAP and other tools.

  Good bye
