Tecra A7 - after update BIOS it does nothing

Hi all

I d/l and ran the "windows" BIOS update for my Tecra A7 model. Feeding, I watched the update go through all the steps, including the backup BIOS, but in the last step 8 of writing for the BIOS, looks what it hung. I waited over 2 hours and decide to restart.
You guessed it, now I have absolutely nothing - no Toshiba screen, no BIOS, nothing.

Is there a way to reset the BIOS or restore the backup? I don't have the recovery CD (laptop ready to work - no idea where the CD so). I am applying for DVD with Toshiba (if in fact he help me?) but in the meantime no matter what good techies out there? No floppy no CDROM drive only.

I'm lookin to my Board of Directors, where is the battery? Rock on Bros.

Hello

Firstly the Toshiba Recovery disk will not help you. It can only restore the operating system (Windows) and has nothing to do with the BIOS.

Also in this case you can't do so because the need for assistance from an authorized service provider. Only authorized technicians can try to reflash the ROM here module, you can search for the nearest:

Good luck! :)

  • Tecra A7 after updating the Bios is recognized as Satellite M110

    Hello everyone.

    I'm new to this forum, and of course, I need your help.
    after update bios in my tecra a7 202 'Toshiba PC Diagnostic' shows:
    Model name: Satellite M110
    Number: PSBM0U-1234567
    SERIAL NUMBER: 000000000000000000000000000000
    Lower than that, everything is ok.

    I used bios5.10 for both parties. but when I tried to update software panda antivir only has not allowed me to open the winrar exe file.
    There was the vbs script that was dangerous in reviews of panda. I turned off Panda, but it still blocked the exe file. I decided to open the exe with winrar.
    After that, I run SA10Flash.exe. I saved the old bios and loaded a new - but there were 2 ROM files: S10PM510. ROM and S10GM510.ROM. first was younger and I decided to choose it. Maybe it was fake.

    Anyway after update in mode Bios was error with CRT or something like that and choose the option: F2 for configuration and default settings F1 charge. I took F1.
    After that, I have Satellite m110 :(

    Help, please
    Best regards

    Hello

    Sorry, but I don t you understand the procedure.
    Have you read the BIOS update document provided by Toshiba?
    The update of the BIOS is risky If you use a bad BIOS or bad update procedure!

    I checked out the site Toshiba driver and downloaded the BIOS for Tecra A7.
    I unzipped the 510win bios and I found the S10V510.exe file
    It is a file. You need to run!

    To me, it seems you used bad BIOS or bad procedure and therefore the cell displays a false name.

    PS: Don't worry ;) Satellite M110 is also a large notebook: D... just a joke

  • Touchpad no longer works after update BIOS on Satellite A500-1GL

    Hello world

    I just bought my laptop Satellite A500-1GL today. I started at the top and plays a bit (nothing serious). The touchpad worked very well at the moment.

    Then I discovered this tool to update the material and the update of the BIOS that worked without any problems. After I restarted the laptop, BIOS, loaded the default values of the installation and recorded.
    After that Windows 7 (x 64) started the touchpad no longer works...

    I downloaded the driver here and installed again once, still does not. I went into the BIOS, disabled the touchpad (I thought that maybe it's a bug...) and started again. It still does not...

    I enabled it again in the BIOS, tried to push the function + F9, but it still does not... Finally, I used the recovery and installed a Windows 7 costs.
    But unfortunately it still doesn't.

    Now, I'm out of ideas, can anyone help?
    Is there a chance to get the older version of BIOS to downgrade it?

    Thanks in advance ;)

    Hello

    It seems strange that after update Bios touchpad no longer works.

    > Is there a chance to get the older version of BIOS to downgrade it?

    To be honest, I don't know where to find. In any case, do a search on Google. Perhaps, other users of the forum can give you a link to download.
    The downgrade of the Bios is riskier upgrade procedure. So, be careful the next time...
    Advice for the future; Do not touch the running system.

    Good luck!

  • Pavilion g6-2215sia: CARD without WIRE NOT DETECTED AFTER UPDATE BIOS

    Recently I have updated my BIOS on my laptop HP Pavilion g6-2215sia think he'll adjust the hardware acceleration feature missing in my system (there is no option in my BIOS to enable virtualization technology). My BIOS version was F.12 and I've updated to F.24, but after update BIOS all my wireless functionality no longer works (including my wifi and bluetooth), and still there is no option to enable virtualization technology in my BIOS settings. On my Windows 8.1 x 64 Pro wifi and bluetooth options are grayed out so I can't turn them on or off. I tried to reinstall my bluetooth driver, but the software says that it doesn't detect any bluetooth hardware. Even when I restart and boot in all my Linux distributions installed on my system (Ubuntu, Quina and Kali Linux) and my x 86 Android, they still do not detect my wireless capability (says Ubuntu, "wifi is disabled by hardware switch").

    To confirm that this was not a software problem, I has conducted an audit of start-up and tested for my wireless module and got this result, "without WIRE MODULE CHECK: NOT INSTALLED". The only way I can get my Windows operating system to recognize my wireless (wifi and bluetooth) is now by doing a hard reset, when I unplug my laptop from the power supply, remove the battery and hold the power button for about 30 seconds. When I turn on my system, then I can turn my wifi/bluetooth on my Windows. But if I restart my system the problem comes back and I can't turn on my wireless. So basically, I have to avoid questioning my system off and only Hibernate, so that whenever I turn on my laptop I can use the wireless. If I restart my system so I have to repeat the hard reset in order to use my wifi/bluetooth, which can be very annoying.

    The problem is that I often use my other Linux disributions and I have to restart before starting in them so that my readers will be mounted read/write, and when I do my Linux can not detect my wireless and it's a serious pain for me because I need to use my wireless often for internet connection.

    Please I really need help on how to fix this and get my wireless working normally without having to do a hard reset every time. I tried to restore my BIOS F.12 unfounded but I don't have the image file (I extensively searched the Internet to find, but does not). I've even updated again to F.26 but I still have the same problem (my current version of BIOS is F.26).

    If you see no updates the BIOS in your list of drivers - where do you have the updates to the BIOS, you used?

    Try here - if you do not see the list of the BIOS, use the "Edit" button to change Windows 8.1 to Windows 8:

  • 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.

  • 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?
    Juvenay clevain

    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

  • Satellite P500 - after update BIOS on the numeric keypad does not work anymore

    I just had a Satellite P500 and am running Windows 7. I downloaded all the latest drivers and updated the system BIOS to version 1.70 (from Toshiba support website). Now, my numeric keypad of the keyboard does not work.

    The NumLock light is on and when I hit the key "6" on the pavement, he turns the power light, but the behavior of the other keys does not change that it is on or off. The '-' key to enter a '6', but none of the other keys (except "enter" does nothing.

    I removed the keyboard driver and rebooted to reinstall the keyboard driver, but has no effect. The keyboard has worked for a few days after that I flashed the bios but seems to have stopped since I started using a USB mouse. I tried to uninstall the USB mouse driver, but who have nothing do either (it was a Logitech driver).

    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

  • XP does not start after update BIOS on Satellite L

    The reboot of the XP laptop will not start. I get the XP screen for a few seconds and then the blue screen of death flashes until restarting the laptop before. The blue screen is so fast, that it's not finished writing the text - I can't see all the numbers to check the error.

    Yes, you can downgrade (rollback) If you made a backup.

    Can enter you the Bios and check if the compatible mode (after updating the Bios, it might put AHCI default)?

    This error message appears if you want to update a BIOS that is not compatible with your model of laptop.
    Toshiba pilot European page provides the BIOS 2.10Win for this model of laptop.
    If you have used certainly bad BIOS.

    > There is no response when you press on the "FN" key and one of the number keys f

    First be sure that the AHCI is enabled in the BIOS.
    In addition, the Intel Storage Manager controls the AHCI so you should integrate the AHCI driver to CD Win XP as described here:

  • Tecra M4-138: update BIOS (i) 3.40 (ii) Slim Select Bay HD

    (i) recently (12/06/2007), Toshiba has released an update of the 3.40 BIOS which can be done only through windows. I own a Tecra M4 - 138 running Win XP Tablet Ed and since now I've updated windows fron BIOS (now it is under v3.30). But the last update can be satisfied! After you run the update, it displays a small window with the label 'run... '. "and a bar running and... that's it! After waiting nearly an hour nothing happenned. I called the local dealer and they advised to perform decommissioning if the system restarts to repeat the procedure and if the problem continues to avoid the update. Is this (thankfully)! Because I don't know if this update fixes important and by default, I tend to be updated, any valuable advisor?

    (ii) I'm trying for some time to put a HD (secondary IDE) to my Tecra M4-138 using the Slim Select Bay drive HARD adapter (PA-3134U-2CTE), an IDE interface and... of Toshiba 120 GB HD... SATA (!) all bought them 4PC GMBH (a Premium Business Partner of Toshiba...). In any case, after not receiving their share of response to my posts, I decided to use this SATA HD as external USB and I am now looking again for a 2.5 "HD (IDE) put in PA-3134U-2CTE. The question: what can be the maximum capacity that resists the Slim Select Bay?
    ?:|

    The update of the bios version 3.40 is logical, but it is not necessary if you are running a stable system.

    There are two major improvements:
    1. exit TV (S-Video) is compatible with Windows Vista now
    2 Improments about Chipset Intel

    If you have a floppy drive there is another possibility for updating the bios.
    Extract the 3.40 bios. Copy the files chgbiosa.exe and BIO0026T.COM on the diskette.
    Now you can perform the update of the bios as described in the http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000000b07 Bios FAQ in the traditional update section.

    According to your second problem:
    Tecra M4 has no real limits on the size of hard drive in the Bay of select. The only thing you have to rememer is Tecra M4 has an INTERNAL Serial ATA HDD but select bay with a selectbay for Parallel ATA HDD adapter.
    So I wonder you bought a SATA HARD drive - for this slim selectbay adapater. PATA HDDs will only fit in!
    Back to your question once again. You can buy any real 2,5 "PATA HDD for this card. To get the good HARD-Adator disc on the HARD disk, you should consider buying a drive hard Toshiba selectbay in Catalog option (for example PX1340E - 1 12)

  • The IdeaCentre 300-01IBY stick is not booting after update Bios

    I just updated to the latest version of the bios update. Immediately after that update the stick does not start. The light flashes for about 15 seconds then turns off - it seems to be in an infinite loop.

    I tried unpluging the USB hub and the memory card - nothing works...

    Any suggestions / workarounds?

    Thanks in advance for your contributions?

    Unfortunately, there is a known issue with the Windows Flash utility that is many devices 'bricks' (broken). You need to update the firmware if or update to the latest version W10 will fail and lock your device. The only approach is to use the flash of UEFI USB stick method (the other firmware download option), but it's too late for you now. You must give your stick for a replacement. Boring, I know. Happened to me too.
