Tecra A11 - problems of the more recent/video BIOS

Hi all

I just got a Toshiba Tecra A11 the other day which is out of warranty (Refurb). When I got the laptop there is a problem where the photo was displayed at 1024 x 768 and biased (in BIOS). Image 1-2cm off the screen to the left, with over the space of 5-6 cm black to the right of the picture, the low 2-3 cm of the image were also the bottom of the screen.

I installed Ubuntu Studio initially and attempted to force the display to a wide screen resolution. I didn't have a chance, I also installed Win7, but still with the latest drivers, I had no chance.

It was strange because the BIOS was displayed in the same way, so, naturally, I decided to upgrade to the latest version of the BIOS. The BIOS of the laptop is quite old (end of 2009).
I downloaded the update to the BIOS of Toshiba web site and ran the update.

The new BIOS has been installed and rebooted the machine.
However there was no image displayed on the LCD screen, windows startup has done successfully, if I connect to an external monitor to the laptop I brush. When starting the laptop backlight LCD lights.

My question is: what can I do to fix this? Is a tool of recovery or down to BIOS available? Is it possible to reflash the bios? What is recommended?

Thank you.

This means that everything is ok with the external monitor?
You can access the BIOS by pressing F2 and you can set it to the default settings?

Usually, you can switch between the external and internal view using the FN + F5 key combination. It work?

  • Tecra S1 - problems with the touchpad after update BIOS to 2.50

    Hello
    After the BIOS-update to version 2.5, the touchpad does nothing. From the docking station, the l' option option mouse PS2 works without any problem. Starting late, the touchpad no longer works. Normally - before the update - the touchpad began its work immediately after starting not rooted.
    What can I do to reactivate the touchpad?

    Hello

    Are you sure that your touchpad was not disabled?

    I mean the FN + F9 key combination to activate and disable the touchpad.

    This is why you should check this first.

    On the other hand a 3rd mouse driver part could affect the functionality of touchpad too.

    In my opinion, you should try to reinstall the driver for the touchpad and test it without connected part 3 mouse.

    Good luck

  • Tecra A11 speed on the fan at 100% all the time

    Hi, one of my colleagues has a new notebook Tecra A11. I've recently updated the bios to version 2.60 and since then the fan is constantly at full speed. Before the update it would be noticeable when the laptop has been widely used, but would slow down when idle. Anyone else seen/had this problem? I wouldn't mind flashing back to the old bios but can not see available on the web site of tosh.

    Thank you

    Hello

    In your case, I recommend setting the BIOS to the default value.
    You can do it in the BIOS. Insofar as I'm sure you could get press F9 default.
    But the option is mentioned in BIOS to verify this.

    In addition, I recommend changing the CPU and cooling module in Windows Power Options.

    This should help to reduce the speed of the cooling fan.

    Why is he not possibel to download an old Version of the Bios?

    JSpindler

    Hi jspindler,

    The question is why you want to update the BIOS? This update should be carried out only if it of really necessary. In addition, only the most recent update of the BIOS can be downloaded as it fixes most problems.

    In any case, you need to start the BIOS as an administrator and you should decompress all files from zip archive before start you. Also, make sure that the value added package is installed.

    By the way: what operating system is installed?

  • Strange problems with the most recent Flash player 18.0.0.232

    I posted these questions to Support Flash Player

    My first question was

    Where can I find the solution on your Flash player and Mozilla Firefox / Chrome (windows 7) that does not read the videos always out there?

    There is a conflict with firefox/chrome with your new version.

    More information

    I did everything what Firefox told me to do but the problem is bigger, because I told you that I have the problem also in Chrome.

    I did a clean install and was also the driver carried Flash as your adobe page told me to do.

    I installed again after that Firefox and the Flash plugin.

    The only security I have on my computer is the last free version of Avast (150909-0)

    Unfortunately, the problem is still there and it's the reason why I asked you what else to do.
    Adobe FB, I received this response: Adobe Flash Hi John, post your query on the forum of Flash Player.



    UPDATE

    I did the update Avast even on another computer, and yes the conflict comes from AVAST.

    Also on this computer under win 7, videos no longer work!

  • Tecra A8: Problem with the USB printer connected to the Port Replicator III

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my Tecra A8, year Advanced Port Replicator III and a USB printer. With the printer connected to a USB port on the Port Replicator, I have to wait 2 minutes for printing to start. When it is connected directly to a USB port on the laptop and the laptop disconnected from the Port, printing starts immediately. I have the latest drivers from the Isensys of Canon LBP 2900 installed and Windows Vista professional as the operating system.

    I called the technical support of my country, but her is not recorded similar problems.

    A person with similar problem? Some help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Seems like a strange question... Already done the standard procedure in the event of such errors? :)

    The standard procedure is somehow similar to the following:

    -Update your BIOS
    -Update all the drivers for your machine
    -Update your printer drivers
    -Update your operating system

    If all else fails, then try an another Portrep if available, maybe you need to contact your dealer for an another portrep for the test.

    Something like this should be your way. And then you sucessfully made a TROUBLESHOOTIN´ ;)

    I'd be happy to hear feedback from you on your situation...

  • I can't get rid of two windows of firefox than say in a case that firefox is "execution" and the more recent version cannot finish download.

    When I double click on my firefox browser a warning is that the latest version of firefox can not finish downloading as a version of firefox seems to work and I need to close. However I do not understand whether a version is running or, if to close it.
    In addition I recently, by double clicking on the firefox browser, got another window, after the closure of the warning in the first paragraph above, on PLUG-INS that won't go away . So, I uninstalled JAVA and Quicktime plugins he said "stale" and tried to update the card of ADOBE which was also stating that it was outdated. I completed all the steps the update for ADOBE but the window PLUG INS always returns (without JAVA and QUICK TIME as they have been uninstalled) saying ADOBE should be refreshed even if I did. What can I do?

    Follow these steps:

    1. Visit www.getfirefox.com, download Firefox 19.0.2 to your computer (save), and then restart your PC.
    2. After you restart your computer, and then double-click the Firefox installation program you just downloaded (does not open Firefox). Update Firefox.
