U940-11N SATELLITE - cannot get into the BIOS or Boot Menu

Hello

I am currently in the processing you want to perform an update of the operating system on my laptop. When I bought the laptop in a well known department store, it came loaded with Windows 7, despite the operating system preloaded in Windows 8 when buying.

I already disabled fast closing down, such as recommended elsewhere on the forum. However, after the closure of many downs and startups, based on all kinds of combination of keys to try to get the menu of boot or bios, I can't do it. It starts directly to Windows.

I tried to boot from an aswell as a bootable USB external DVD drive.

I tried F2, F12, F10, ESC and DEL at the start, but nothing. With pressure repeated, with continuous waiting, with the FN button, just in case... just nothing!

Could someone provide an overview of this please?

Kind regards
Jamie

Thanks for the feedback jamieb!

Good news!

    Hello

    For the problem with the BIOS (Basic Input Output System), I recommend you contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: cannot get into the BIOS and does not start

    I have a portable Satellite pro 6100, en I was trying to boot from an external USB hard drive. When I activated the second hard drive option in the BIOS it has stopped booting all in all, I can't even get into the BIOS Setup more. All I get is "In touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA" screen with the icons to select the method of priming preferred manually after it's just blank screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left.

    Press ESC or F8 before to turn usually results in fast beeps sounds.
    Press tilde (~) before turn is reflected in the remaining space screen (not even the home toshiba screen appears) and slow Zens sounds.

    Apart from that I can't really do nothing at all.
    I tried to reset the BIOS by disconnecting the battery CMOS/RTC (hoewever, we call it) of the motherboard for a while with no results.

    Turn on/off without the results of HD internal in a white screen with an ERROR 'IDE #0.
    I can always stop by pressing the power button, you don't have to bother on the external hard drive it past I don't even want it works more.

    Suggestions?

    Hello

    I agree with Graeme. Your HARD drive is probably faulty. Sorry, but I don't think that you will be able to use the external HARD drive. The option in the BIOS is not for EXTERNAL HARD drive is just, I guess, for disk HARD placed in select Bay.

  • Cannot get into the BIOS on my Sat A30

    Hi all

    I have problems to enter the BIOS. I heard when I want to get into the BIOS I have to press the ESC key when Toshiba logo is shown in the startup.

    But nothing happens!

    Could someone help me?

    Sammy23

    Hi Sammy23
    That is right. It's actually the ESC you press. But there is more to know. During the time where appears the Toshiba logo, that represents about 1.5 seconds or so machine "listens" for the ESC at the beginning.
    Means that you have to be quick like a cat to press ESC. I usually press ESC several times all the way to the market (until the Toshiba Logo is displayed). Try this. Another way to get into the BIOS uses Toshiba HWSetup (looks like a key any) in the in the Windows Control Panel. You can access almost all the parameters of the BIOS from there.

  • T530: Cannot get into the bios

    Hello.

    The issue of this link does not seem to be solved with the last update of the BIOS (or it's a similar question).

    I'm running 2.04 and since I have set to UEFI boot only I can't get into the BIOS. When I press Enter to interrupt normal startup the screen goes black, it seems to interrupt the boot but nothing looms on the screen. Starting continues after a few seconds (I guess that after the time-out of the screen of the interruption).

    There seems to be a problem with the code modesetting, because if I connect to an external monitor to the VGA port everything works correctly.

    Note that what is happening with optimus, as well as with only the active Intel card.

    Thank you.

    This seems to be fixed with the last BIOS update (2.07).

    Although a little more comments would be welcome.

    Thank you.

  • Pavilion P6-2378: Cannot get into the BIOS

    I've recently updated my BIOS to v8.19 on my motherboard of Jasmine using service pack SP67068 after seeing a security warning on my original BIOS on the HP driver update site.  After the update, I am unable to enter the BIOS and more!  I see more startup or other screen.  Here's what I've done so far:

    (1) I entered "bcdedit/set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy" (and standard).  No splash screen.

    (2) I momentarily pressed and also pressed the ESC key during several start ups.  No splash screen.  When I press ESC after turning, the drive just stops.  To continue, I have to press Ctrl-Alt-Del to continue, and it starts Windows normally without a splash screen.

    (3) I went to change the settings of pc and navigated at startup in the UEFI Bios, but after the restart, but the computer crashes just until I press Ctrl-Alt-Del, then it boots normally into windows 8.0, but without the boot (legacy or HP splash) screen.

    (4) I opened the discount to zero the BIOS jumper and removed the battery for 5 minutes, several times.  No splash screen and press ESC or F10 after that reboot causes hang until you press Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

    I wouldn't have updated the BIOS if it is not for the security warning, as it worked very well. Now, I can't get into bios no more.  Help, please.

    Hello!  Yes, your right, it's the graphics driver!  But I had already updated just before I had this problem, so I rolled back the driver and still had the problem.  But then I realized that my TV is connected to the computer when I upgraded and downgraded the graphics driver.  I've updated the driver with the TV disconnected and VOILA, I see the spash screens and am able to get into the BIOS.  The graphic resolution of boot has been masking splash screens.  THANK YOU for your help.  I am very grateful.

  • Cannot get into the bios of the start screen.

    Well I had run into trouble with my video card, and it had to be replaced. Before I do that but I was invited to try a system recovery to get rid of any possible program that was at the origin of defective symptoms of a video card.

    Well, I replaced the video card and everything has been fixed. But... because of the recovery of the system, some of my settings changed in Bios is returned back to default. I remember specifically in the Bios to disable the action keys (Fn + everything related F who did something).

    Problem is now I can't return to the Bios to change the settings once more.

    In order to dispel some of the suggestions more simple I tried already:

    Using another keyboard (allows me to enter the Setup program, reinstall system, diagnostics, etc. very well but not Bios)

    Unplug everything in the back, but the monitor and keyboard

    Erased from the memory CMOS, which led me to a screen saying that my Bios is set by default and to go to the configuration, press F10. But by pressing F10 led me to the single configuration screen and couldn't get into the BIOS.

    I carefully searched the internet to find answers for this problem, but I really hit a dead-end.

    I want to say I know that I've changed before setting on this computer it's just that I don't remember how. I mean I tried F1, F2, Del, Ctrl + Alt, and everything inbetween for shortcut keys enter the BIOS nothing helped.

    Thanks in advance for your reply eagerly to receive a response.

    Oh and I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s5260f, if that helps anything.

    Well fiddle with stuff I have solved my problem. Thing, it's actually, I couldn't have what I wanted through the BIOS screen. I remember he made on my friends computer to get rid of it, where their BIOS had more options.

    As for anyone with my problem (hit accidentally the Fn and the sleep button) I recommend that to go in Control Panel Power Options - then select doing nothing to hit the Sleep button.

  • Satellite C660-1U4 - cannot get into the BIOS settings

    I tried all the usual "F2", Del and all othe buttons F including ESC, nothing works, I really need to get into my bios because my touchpad does not work.

    To be honest I n don't know what you want to do in the BIOS.
    If the touchpad won t work check if the touchpad driver is installed correctly and also do not forget the touchpad is not disabled. Use the combination of keys FN + F9 to toggle the touchpad.

    Hello sepilo

    As Daniel said already, you can enter the BIOS settings using the ESC key at the beginning upward. You can also start the recovery procedure using key C. place the recovery CD in the DVD device, press the power button / stop and hold C button. After a few seconds, the recovery procedure will start automatically.

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start - cannot get into the BIOS

    Dear,

    I got a satellite Pro L300, width a HARD drive partitioned, with Win XP installed C and D with Windows 7 installed, the problem is the following:

    Days when I turned on my laptop, the OS splash screen appears, stop boot on Toshiba logo process.
    In addition, I can't enter the BIOS with the F2 key or the Boot Manager by using the F12 key.

    Help, please.

    > stop boot on Toshiba logo process
    This means that the laptop can not pass the POST (power on self test) properly and it would mean that a hardware problem has been detected on the motherboard.

    Remove one of the modules RAM (check both) and try to turn on using a single module of RAM.
    It is possible that one of the RAM modules is defective

    It would also be possible that the motherboard is malfunctioning, as you can see, it is hard to say what role could be wrong, but what looks like a serious hardware failure

    I was hoping that HP had fixed the enter the Bios thing with updated Bios if installed. This thing was a pain like that otherwise I'd be a camper happy with this PC, how is it you can not solve this HP?

    Because of disconnect hard drive it hangs just below ground

    The solution is

    I had installed a better Nvidia GTX-950 video card. By hitting the ESC, it hangs and nothing happens. Black screen, although you can see slightly change the colors

    Fortunately both the edge video card and the new Nvidia both using a HDMI cable. So I just plug my integrated video card. Started while typing ESC and the Legacy Bios screen selection came where I choose F10 to enter the Bios of the legacy

    When you perform an update of the HP Bios seems to put everything back by default, in other words on board, by selecting the video edge. Although you can see by selecting HDMI port at startup if you think it's ok.

    I have worked with Dell PC for 15 years to work, it does not matter what card I put in them. At the start, I hit F2 and Bios loads so that bit me. Now I know

  • Re: Satellite Pro L300 - unable to get into the BIOS or boot

    I have a Satellite L300, who will not get past the POST or the Toshiba start screen. It says to press F2 to enter setup or F12 for the boot sequence, but by pressing buttons does nothing and nothing happens - it just stays there. the HARD drive activity light flashes for a few seconds, then stops.

    I tried the new RAM and a HARD drive different, both with the connected power and battery alone without success!

    someone at - it suggestions?

    Hi jhilton0105,

    Hmm, I think that you have tried everything you can do, and in my opinion, it seems to be a hardware malfunction. Maybe it s related to the motherboard, CPU, module ROM or something else
    I think that your laptop should be verified professional people to get rid of this problem.
