• Tecra S11 - market auto in the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Tecra S11 and I want to on my laptop when I plug in the power cable.
  I find all of the features in my BIOS of energy auto on, or something like that.

  Furthermore, is it possible to turn on with a USB keyboard or usb receiver infra-red?

  Thanks in advance for any suggestion

  I've never heard of these characteristics and to my knowledge, that this option does not work, there is in the BIOS released for Toshiba laptops.

  In my case the BIOS contains an option like Wake Up LAN or Wake up on the keyboard.
  This allows the laptop to wake up sleep mode by LAN or the keyboard.

  The option that you're looking for should be something like power on USB etc, but I doubt that its share of the current BIOS

• Tecra A3X - how to remove the BIOS password?

  Hello

  I have a Tecra A3x who died before Christmas. I bought a motherboard replacement on eBay. I mounted the motherboard and the powers of the Unit well stop but to a password screen that is black. I tried to find a way to wipe the BIOS and have removed the CMOS battery for about 10 minutes. I read that most laptops have a jumper built in too fix. I've looked in the usual places - memory modules etc. I can t find it anywhere.

  Any help would be very welcome.

  Thank you
  John

  Hello John

  As you probably know BIOS password is very important security feature and remove the BIOS password can be described on the public forum of the manufacturer s. It is a kind of top secret information.
  It is not logical to do this, right?

  Each Tecra A3X stolen with BIOS password could be unlocked.
  In my opinion, you should contact the person who sells you this motherboard and request password. If he cannot stop, return. At this info in the description of the product on its offer to ebay?

• Tecra M5 - how to remove the Bios password?

  Hey guys,.

  My Tecra M5 got a password for BIOS from one day to the other, I never told him to do.

  All of my passwords do not work, so how can I reset the password?

  Please help me :)

  I never heard that the BIOS password can be activated only then I m wondering really how that can happen in your Tecra M5.

  You must understand that the BIOS password is a very important protection and we cannot discuss in the public forum about this.
  How to remove the BIOS is not always the same and Tecra, as cell phone business model, is quite complicated procedure of withdrawal of the BIOS and it can be made by Toshiba only service provider.

  I'm sorry.

• Tecra M3 PTM30E - cannot update the BIOS

  Hello

  I can't install my new Bios on the Tecra M3 PTM30E-09X01LEN system.
  The message says: not supported.

  Why?

  I put t he understand.

  Hello

  First of all, I want to ask you why you want to update the BIOS?
  You have some problems with the laptop that could be solved by the BIOS updated?

  Also what BIOS you use and where did you find and download?

  The Tecra M3 PTM30E seems to be a European model and the BIOS must be placed on the European driver Toshiba page.

  I checked the page and there are two versions of the BIOS;
  BIOS 1.20 - WIN-FBCF is only for the models with filter virtual control of Angle (FBCF)
  The BIOS 1.50 - WIN is for models WITHOUT filter the virtual control of Angle (FBCF)

  Seems that you used the wrong BIOS!

  Contact the previous user and ask the BIOS. If he tells you that BIOS is not for him, but he was not in the description of the product to return this laptop and write negative comments.

• Tecra S11 - how to enter the BIOS?

  Hello

  I have a Tecra S11 with windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit installed. I want to make a backup image and install Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. However I can't understand how to enter the BIOS to change the DVD player to the first boot device.

  After that 1 second a Toshiba logo, I asked a user password, after that it directly starts in the currently installed Windows 7.
  ESC, del, f1, f2, f10, f11, f12, tried them all, but no BIOS menu is located. What is the trick?

  GR,

  Hello

  According to the user manual you must press the F2 key to enter the BIOS setup, but you must press the front key Toshiba logo appears.
  It work?

  Alternative, you can change the boot order using tool "Toshiba HWsetup' which is preinstalled on your laptop.

• Tecra 8100: How to enter the BIOS

  BIOS settings made using Toshiba Windows utility or how I
  Enter the BIOS during boot? What button I push on?
  Thanks in advance for answers!

  Hello

  Yes, you are on the right track.
  The most common BIOS settings can be changed in the Toshiba HWSetup utility.
  But it seems that the Tecra 8100 uses a Toshiba BIOS, and so you should be able to access the BIOS by pressing ESC and F1.

• Tecra A11 - 11N - after that the BIOS update programs not loading now

  My model is Tecra A11 - 11N. I ran the BIOS update and now some of my programs, including ITunes, Nokia Ovisuite, payer VLC etc. are not running. I tried to uninstall and reinstall them, but same problems.

  In any case to come back before upgrade?

  Hi evangny,

  I also Tecra A11 in front of me and have installed latest version of BIOS but this didn't affect all installed programs. BIOS and installed programs are different.
  What you can do is load the default settings in the BIOS after the update.

  Can you be a bit more detailed?
  What exactly happens if you try to start these programs? You get an error message?

  You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?

• Tecra A9 - compatibility/AHCI in the BIOS mode

  The Toshiba Tecra A9 seems to have a serious lack of implementation of the BIOS: it has an Intel ICH8 - M - SATA controller capable of running in Intels so-called "handset Mode" that allows it to act as a controller SATA AHCI, a normal IDE controller or mix the two for various channels.
  The BIOS allows to adjust it to the "compatibility" - mode that seems to work correctly by running in the IDE for all channels mode, but the mode "AHCI" seems to be set up wrongly. AHCI is a standard for SATA devices that is widely used and the Tecra A9 defines only the hard disk to use SATA AHCI - optical drive CD/DVD-ROM rest in IDE mode which leads to conflicts of pilots as only one driver can access the controller in DMA mode - when the value of both SATA and IDE modes, two drivers are needed for one physical chip.
  'AHCI' in the BIOS must activate the peripheral subject connected to the controller is running in SATA AHCI mode, but as I already said, it is not. Only the hard drive will be displayed as SATA device.

  For me, this looks like a defect in the BIOS that needs to be repaired.

  Best regards
  Peter

  Hello

  I think that it s perhaps a default, but you done already encountered problems with the execution of the "compatibility mode" where the CD/DVD drive (IDE ;)) works in "IDE mode"?

  Do you have a few mistakes or something similar? If so, then it s probably REALLY a bug, but if not, maybe this 'combined mode' (I know what you´re talking about my old 875P Chipset and my ICH5 have the same thing) works correctly.
  In my machine (desktop computer with a DFI Lanparty 875P and northwood at 3 Ghz) runs in the "handset mode" so that everything works to make it compatible in "IDE" mode But I Don t a loss of performance.
  It s not as fast when I drive in pure SATA mode, but then my DVD won't work.

  So, if you have problems with the machine then I agree, otherwise "it s not a bug, it s a feature" ;)

• Tecra M7: new stops in the bios the scanner when the lid is closed.

  It took me a while to find the problem: energy saving? striker wacom? lol some very stupid "Star" in the new bios of Toshiba.
  quote from the toshiba download site:

  * Version 1.70 - 2006-10-24 *.
  * Requirements of Intel incorporated to improve stability.*
  * Because of the changes to make sure that the scanner is not activated when the LCD is ferme.* *.
  * Version 1.60 - 2006-09-21 *.
  * Changed the temperature parameters.*

  I have no idea what they were thinking, but since when I move that I often close the lid, it is very, very annoying, because I need to reboot in order to get my Tablet works again. the latest features are not an issue, I'll keep xp pro.

  now give me a download link for version 1.6 of the tecra M7 of the bios. Thank you in advance, I'm counting on you.

• Is Tecra S5 - useful to update the BIOS?

  Recently, I bought a laptop Tecra S5 and yesterday I noticed an update of the BIOS on the Toshiba site.

  I googled a lot searched this forum and found a lot of discussion about people having problems after updating (flashing) the BIOS. So I want to ask you if the update worth it, and if someone with an S5 did. Could someone also tell me if there is a way to ensure that you can roll back previous BIOS version after that an update does not?

  The laptop is precious to me and since living in this time of financial crisis means that I won't be able to buy a new one if I screw this up I want to be sure. Thanks in advance.

  EDIT: I forgot to mention that I installed Vista 64 due to having 4 GB of RAM.

  Hello

  First a BIOS update is not required if your laptops gently. Never touch a running system ;)
  A BIOS update is only recommended if you have any problem with him, for the memory vivid example not properly recognized or so.

  I only updated the BIOS of my laptop if I have problems with it, and that means that I have updated the BIOS on my Toshiba notebooks 3 times yet. I m not a Tecra S5 owner but I never had a problem with the BIOS updates. Some people who said that the update of the BIOS didn't forgot to read some instructions how to do this:
  Before you start an update of the BIOS, you must close all running programs and close all background processes that you don't need. Also your antivirus and firewall should be disabled and must be signed in as an administrator. Don t forget to connect the AC/DC adapter, before start you.
  If you follow these tips, normally the BIOS update must be done successfully.

  A BIOS to a previous version downgrade is possible that anuthroized service provider. This means that you can downgrade it yourself.
  But the newer versions are pre-tested Toshiba and should not cause more problems as before. Newer versions of BIOS problems.

  I hope I could help a bit! :)
