• T61p brick after BIOS update

  Hi all.

  This morning, I thought I would upgrade the BIOS on my T61p (6458-AT8), as the Manager of Maintanance ThinkVantage suggested.

  (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/quickPath.do?quickPathEntry=6458AT8, upgraded w. HD 500 GB and 4 GB of RAM).

  After the restart, the fan went to just max showing start of Lenovo logo.
  After 15 minutes like that, I pulled the plug and the battery.

  Now, I have a really expensive brick... By pressing the power button has no effect.

  Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this?

  Thank you

  Read on for a brief history of good service:

  The technician showed up this afternoon with a table cover, a new Board of Directors, a couple of screwdrivers and a USB floppy drive.

  1 disassemble the laptop
  2 seem surprised by two non - Lenovo DIMM (I had the Lenovo one original and he tried to start it with a mounted instead, of course no change)
  3. change the Board of Directors
  3. assemble the laptop
  4. wouldn't start
  5. Remove again
  6. fix the CPU tray-thingy
  7 go up
  8 boot
  9 set the time in the BIOS
  10 boot from albums secret IBM/Lenovo diskette
  11. set edge serial No.
  12 reboot
  13 fact

  He noticed that my LCD hinges were wobbly (it is like 3 cm... what I know already of course, but didn't know how to get fixed) and suggested I called support and had them send a technician to fix it.

  I called them after his departure. It is not usually something that is covered by the warranty, unless it's a whole new machine. I told him that it was like that from the first day (it was!) and that I keep in the dock, most of the time, is certainly not carried. He agreed and they send a guy tomorrow!

  I'm very happy with the service they provide - and hope that I won't need it again!

  Thanks for your comments.

  Help, please. WHICH IS: ACPI\TOS1901 * TOS1901

  Hello

  ACPI-> Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
  ACPI defines hardware and software interfaces that allow focus on the OS configuration and power management to enumerate and configure motherboard devices.
  For example: ACPI is necessary for the standby and hibernation mode.

  Now your question; the new BIOS has been updated and configured to using VISTA.
  It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

• ThinkPad T400 not display after BIOS update

  Hello dear,

  I updated my BIOS via Lenovo BIOS update and everything went successfully and it asked me to restart your computer after the BIOS update and now I don't get any screen, I waited like 10-15 min to see if I can see something and saw it started and I've updated my drivers for win 7 ultimate and when restarting again I don't have no matter what screen and I wait 20 more to see if I get something.  Anyone else facing the same problem here after the BIOS update?

  What should I do guys then, I always let the warranty? Update BIOS removes the guarantee?

• T400 dead after BIOS update

  System update to get the latest updates, including the BIOS.  After the update is complete, the machine has restarted but wouldn't start.  Now, when I turn it on, it shows just a blank screen, no hard disk activity.  I guess it's brick, and I'll have to go back to the Lenovo?  Someone has other ideas until I make?

  THX.

  Final update!  Found a post of someone suggesting to disconnect the CMOS battery temporarily, and it worked!  Very relieved the laptop doesn't have a brick, but I just rather in a State where it should be + 10 minutes to access the normal start screen.  After that I disconnected the battery, things seem to be back to normal!

• Brick machine after BIOS update

  Here is a method that has worked for save a laptop HDX18 running an Insyde BIOS.

  Download the latest BIOS for this model.

  FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp51501-52000/sp51618.exe

  Save it on the desktop and use 7-Zip to "extract the files, when you open it you will find a file with the name of 3610F34.fd.

  Rename this file to 3610.BIN (I used the capitols)

  Enter a USB flash drive 2 GB or smaller and it must automatically be formatted in FAT32, when it's done copy and paste your BIOS file, newly appointed to the flash drive, safely eject the drive on your computer. (not just pull the USB port)

  On my HDX18 Bricked.

  Remove the battery and the adapter and hold down the button for 30 seconds to do a hard reset.

  Plug the flash drive into one of the ports USB left , hold the 'Windows' + 'B' key and hold your it plug the adapter.

  Start the laptop should begin to beep and read the flash drive, release the keys when and finished the laptop turns off. Let stand for 3 minutes and Windows.

  This method has done does not on my dv8, or done a job here for mrtranmsb:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and/please-help-recovery-BIOS-HP-DV4-1326TX/...

  I had my dv8 two choices to replace the system board or replace the BIOS with a pre-programmed one chip.

  In my case, I was certain that it was a bad BIOS update because the machine was in perfect health before the flash.

  I decided to replace the chip, and 'My Tech' was most useful in the identification of the chip of the BIOS as well as Note Book Review. I bought the chip of 'My Tech'

  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/HP-Pavilion-notebooks/426674-HP-DV8-owners-lounge-568.html#post74959...

  Here is my thread as to where the BIOS chip is located on the dv8 (they're all the same)

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware/DV8-1000cto-BIOS-chip-location/m-p/678195#M46432

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  While all mean, this means that if your laptop is out of warranty , there not a lot of options to fix things.

  Most of the people do not have the skill that it takes to resolder a BIOS chip on the motherboard, and in this case, a replacement motherboard is the only alternative.

  OR

  If you have all your hard drive partitions in tact (the key is the HP tools partition), you may be able to save the BIOS of this partition by organizing the 'Windows' + 'B' key down to start. This works as with the factory original OS installation, you don't have not changed or added to partitions and if your machine is more recent then 2010.

  Before you try everything before, make sure that it is in fact a corrupted BIOS problem.

  Also note that this thread is only dealing with an Insyde BIOS, not Phoenix or any other.

• Notebook G71 won to boot after BIOS update on HP site

  I just updated the BIOS on my notebook G71... I downloaded the update from the HP site and it has been updated V20 to V23.

  After the update, the system became an automatic restart and now it does not move before the initial startup screen that shows HP and "ESC to return to the Start Menu" logo at the bottom. I tried the ESC key, but nothing past then is except that it says "esc... pause start." Nothing anyway. Now I can't reboot my system and it is dead. Help, please. Steve

  Unplug the power cord, remove the battery, hold the power button for a total of 30 seconds, connect AC only, see if it will load windows now.

• Satellite Pro P200-15W: after Bios Update 1.90 incredibly noisy fan

  Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200-15W, I recently made an update to BIOS version 1.9 and seems to have been a big mistake.
  After restarting the computer, I had a lot of software deconfig and the fan has become incredibly noisy.

  I have the problem with the Toshiba Vista registration software, I get this message: "registration of Vista has stopped working". I read other discussions, I don't want to just disable it in the start.ini file, I would actually solve the problem if there is a way.

  Is there a way to change the configuration of fans? I read a post from Toshiba on another model of laptop that has had the same problem of noisy fans after an update of the BIOS, they gave that a solution with a new version of the BIOS, is there a way to reverse the BIOS to the previous version? (recovery CD will be useful for this purpose)?

  See you soon

  Edgard

  Hello

  It seems that the picture of the fan was changed and renewed in the new version of BIOS, and so fans run fall.
  Why the table fan has been changed?

  Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve the reduction of the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with maximum performance.
  This helps to prevent the equipment from damage!

  Usually, the recovery CD formats the whole HARD drive (partitions too) and installs only the image of Toshiba on the notebooks of HARD drive.
  The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
  But you can try to recover the laptop to see if you can solve the problems of software as "Vista record"!

  If you want to reverse the BIOS, you will need to contact the ASP in your country!

  Sorry, but all I can suggest.

  Best regards

• Portege M800 no boot after BIOS update

  Hi Adrien

  I think that Akuma is right. Your laptop must be verified by the service of Toshiba s. Let check your laptop and I hope they will help you with this.

• Satellite L750 - Bluetooth does not work after BIOS update

  I am preparing some L750 notebooks for use and accept updates from the Toshiba, which included an upgrade of BIOS v1.70 for v2.00. He appears after this update occurs that Bluetooth no longer works, i.e. try to install Bluetooth Toshiba stack will fail as it is said that the Bluetooth radio is disabled and must be turned on for continue.

  As the L750 (model PSK1WA-0C300R) is not a hardware switch to enable or disable the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, the only option available (Fn + F8) is unsuccessful. I ran a recovery of factory default installation and Bluetooth still does not - resumption of classes does not restore the BIOS to the previous version. I have 5 of the model and confirmed the update of the BIOS is the cause. Two laptops now have v2.00 and Bluetooth has been tested in the work before the update of the BIOS.

  If Bluetooth is not critical for the environment which I deploy these notebooks, it's an annoyance I want to solve. My questions are: has anyone encounter the same problem and managed to resolve it? Is there a BIOS v1.70 available for download to restore the functionality? Y at - it an update of the BIOS > V2.00 for solve the problem I have? Thank you.

  Hi JasonL750,

  Load default settings after updating the BIOS? Go into the BIOS, press the F9 key to load the default settings of the installation. Also, make sure that Bluetooth is enabled in the BIOS if there is such an option.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know what happens if you use the FN + F8 key combination. Don't you see that he has an option to turn on Bluetooth and if so what happens if you do this?

• Satellite C55-A-16Z - graphics card does not work after BIOS update

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite C55-A-16Z with windows 8 and a Nvidia geforce 740M graphics card.

  Last week he asked me to update the version of the bios at 1.30.
  The bios update was successful.

  However when I restarted my laptop I started having a BSOD dgxkrnl.sys.
  Correction of the error and restarted for an another BSOD Windows, and after the second solution, I stopped making BSOD.
  But now, I noticed its games running, if not use the dedicated card, but use the 4000 Intel.

  In the settings Nvidia dedicated card is configured to be always on.
  It seems that my card is missing, but it appears in Device Manager.
  I tried to delete, update the drivers and the default factory reset, but nothing helped.

  Also, when I go into Options power the Intel card is listed and when I disable the card intel in the Device Manager it starts to use the graphic viewer for windows.

  How can I get my Nvidia card to work again?
  Any help is appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  After the BIOS update the BIOS should be set to default settings.
  You can do it in the BIOS.

  In addition, you mentioned that Windows 8 is still installed on your laptop.
  8.1 to win has already been published by Microsoft and I highly recommend that update you the system of 8 to 8.1 Win Win.

  Before you start the upgrade to 8.1 win, you should check and read the instructions step by step for Toshiba: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

  I guess that after the Win 8.1, nVidia graphics card upgrade works well also.

  Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

• Satellite C650 - black screen after BIOS update

  My Satellite C650 Windows 7 - won't start afte BIOS update / switch.

  Everything worked very well until the automatic update of Toshiba asked me to download and install the new BIOS update, I did. At the same session Windows and McAfee asked updated. I agreed to all. After all updates have been installed, turns off. The next day when I walk, I see only black screen. I also tried F2, F12 and drive recovery. Nothing happens!

  Any recommendation?

  Hey,.

  It seems that something was wrong during the update of the BIOS and so that you can t the computer unbootable. But I put t understand why you did the BIOS update. If everything works correctly, you can forget about this update. More if you do a BIOS update you shouldn't t run any other updates or programs that might affect the update of the BIOS.

  Anyway, in this case you can do nothing and you need professional help. Please contact an authorized service provider and guys can help you update the ROM module On the Web from Toshiba site, you can find a list of all the FSA:

• Satellite Pro A300 - touchpad failed after BIOS update

  After that good BIOS update 2.00 to 2.10 / suggest by ALERT TEMPRO - http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20091125132031.zip/ the touchpad of my Satellite Pro A300 - GR 1 stopped working.
  He appears under the name hidden in Device Manager. The State of the device - "this device is not present, is not working properly or is not all its drivers installed." (Code 24) "reinstall the driver has no effect of course. I can also access the BIOS utility when you start pressing F2.
  Running Vista Business 32-bit Edition.
  Ideas to solve the problem will be highly appreciated!

  Hello

  Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
  And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

  You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

  I've also updated the BIOS on my Satellite A300 but I n t have a problem with the touchpad after the update.

• Satellite M100 - no speakers sound thorugh after BIOS update

  Hi all

  I have satelite M100 PSMAAA-02006 with XP. I just updated the Bios on V3.0. Speakers do not work after update but the audio jack works so with headphones I can listen to but not through Laptop speakers and the keys to media on top of keyboard play, pause, stop, next, back, etc. homepage react too much.

  Someone knows the solution to this issue. Or is it possible to get the old BIOS? Although I not sure aboutt previous version.

  need quick help. Please answer as soon as possible.

  Thanks & best regards...

  Hi Julie,.

  I doubt that this was due the update of the BIOS. Is that what you have loaded default settings after updating the BIOS?
  Have you chosen the correct BIOS update?

  Normally you can hear the sound on the speakers laptop if you disconnect the headset. Make sure that the sound is not muted, you can do this with the FN + ESC key combination.

  About the multimedia keys, I would recommend reinstallation of Toshiba common Modules. You can find it on the Toshiba site.
