Update BIOS Satellite L30 - 10V died after unsucsessful

We couldn't get the L30-10 s to accept the 2 GB of RAM and advises him to upgrade the BIOS.

We went on the Toshiba site and followed the instructions using the software, they have provided, we started upgrading the L30 - 10 locked up and sat there for the night, now he's dead.
I have been informed that he needs a new motherboard and I find it hard to believe that it may be that the BIOS that has lost its data.

Can anyone help, we have been quoted £300 to fix?

Hello

You can try this workaround:
Remove the AC adapter and the battery and wait an hour. After that reconnect the adapter AC/DC and battery. Try to start the laptop and see what happens.

If it doesn t work you need assistance from an authorized service provider. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module and in the worst cases, the motherboard needs to be replaced.

Sorry but there is no other solution for a BIOS update has failed. :(

Welcome them

    Hey,.

    > I have a Satellite L30 - 10V which I've updated Vista to Windows 7 (full version)
    Did you do an upgrade or complete new clean installation of your version?

    Anyway, the drive worked during installation that you was not able to install Windows. So I doubt it s hardware related issue

    In your case I would try to remove the upper and lower filters in the registry:
    1.demarrez-> Run-> Regedit
    2. navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  • Satellite L30 - 11 d - after charging battery, it is said that 8% remaining

    Hello

    I have Satellite L30 - 11 d and the battery will be cooler. Laptop works when the power adapter is connected. When the AC adapter is plugged in the battery icon seems to be charged and the led will turn orange and green then as if the laptop has finished loading.
    However once the AC adapter is removed he says only 8% remaining and will stop in 5 minutes.

    I just bought a new AC adapter, and I updated my BIOS. Very confused on how to solve this problem, any advice will be very useful.

    Thank you

    Hi TL30,.

    In my view, this problem is only related to the battery and it should be replaced. A block can only be recharged about 500 times and after that, replace it because it can t be charged to 100% more.
    It has nothing to do with the adapter BIOS or sector

    Contact a service provider allowed in your country, or you are looking for online shops where you can buy a compatible battery. On your current battery, you will find a part number where you can ask Google to do this.

  • Satellite L30-115 returns after hibernation too early

    Satellite L30-115.
    The lid switch opens even slight movements (with the lid closed). What makes my book out of hibernation.

    Energy saver, I put to enter the Hibernate when I press the power button and do nothing when I close the lid. So I expect to do nothing when I opened the lid, too.
    The laptop still exists, after hibernation.

    Is this a bug in the BIOS, normal behavior, is there a place to put not to resume when I open the lid? BIOS and energy savings are updated recently.

    Thank you
    Dan

    When the lid is closed the small switch will activate and laptop knows what lid are closed. Light moves this contact will be interruption and laptop think the lid is open. Because of this, your mobile PC wakes up from hibernation mode.

    A few minutes ago I tested how reacts a Satellite phone and also my new Vista preinstalled Satellite P200D preinstalled old WXP. I did the same settings that you are, and the result is the same. After the opening of the notebooks of the lid to wake up from hibernation mode.

  • How to reset CMOS/BIOS Satellite L30-134?

    Portable satellite L30-134

    Did a stupid thing earlier and started putting my supervisor for the BIOS password when my 8 month old was sitting on the couch next to me... Well, the next thing I know his hands where all over the keyboard, then press the ENTER key was pushed, aaaahhhhh! The password is now set and I ain't got a clue what it is.

    So my question: How to reset the CMOS/BIOS to lose the password or is there another way around him?

    Would like to thank all appreciated help/remedies.

    TIA

    Graham

    It is not possible.
    The entire passwords must be removed before you start with the update of the BIOS.
    Sorry, but if you don t know the password you cannot delete it and the BIOS update procedure will not work!

    ASP in your country is a last chance for the removal of the password. Guys are able to remove the password. It shouldn't be very expensive.

    Hello

    The laptop goes to home Toshiba screen?
    If yes there is no hardware malfunction but perhaps something wrong with the software.

    You suggested that it of not possible to enter the BIOS. How have you tried to get into the BIOS?
    As far as I know, this unit uses a Phoenix BIOS so you must press the F2 key immediately after switching on. Press the "F2" key several times to make sure that the option has been enabled.

    The alternative to boot from the CD/DVD drive is using the C key. The same procedure here: press the C key immediately after starting the laptop.
    (the CD must be inserted before you start)

  • Update BIOS Satellite 1730

    I want to update BIOS and who have already downloaded and the file dezipped. This file that I copied to a floppy disk. In the description they say I have to restart the computer and press a certain key (F12 or the left of the space bar). But it did not work. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Guenter.

    Hello

    on this model you do not need to press F12 or another key. Just unzip the packege BIOS on a blank floppy disk, reboot the machine and make sure it boots from the floppy disk. The upgrade of the BIOS will be done automatically.
    Make sure that you have the power adapter plugged!

    Hello
    Please, so prompt correctly I think?
    Look at me is Toshiba L30-134.

    Today, I have loaded the new BIOS version for this portable goal - 3, 10 - WIN and she put in place instead of preceding.
    During the installation, everything happened perfectly, but after installation I discovered, that the threshold of cooler working temperature has changed!

    Now cooler began to be launched to the realization by the processor of the temperature of heating from 63 to 67 degrees and with cooler previous BIOS worked at 58 degrees!

    If it is unsafe for the processor? Or and was designed also Toshiba engineers have specifically changed a temperature threshold in the new BIOS version?

    P.S. I bring an apology for my disgusting English language. It is not my native language :-)

    Don t worry and don't worry my friend ;)
    The temperature of my CPU on non-Toshiba notebook is also about 67-70 ° C and everything works great for years!

    Hello

    It s a shame hear that mate!
    It seems that something was wrong during the update of the BIOS, and so the laptop won't turn on.
    I'm afraid that you can't do anything else as to contact the local ASP m!

    The local ASP technician must check the device and possibly it might update the BIOS using a special BIOS and the special procedure.

    Good luck buddy

  • After RAM upgrade on stick Satellite L30 - 10V single RAM is recognized

    I just added a stick of Ram 1 GB Crucial in the L30-10 (PSL33E), but only the recognized 1 GB, the Hyundai stick (512 MB), which shipped with the laptop is no longer used by the system.

    I tried to pass it around, but I can only get 1 stick of RAM to work at the time, is 1 GB, when the two Rams are placed in slots or if only the 1 GB is installed or 512 MB when I leave the 1 GB.
    Do you have someone at - he managed to get 2 stick operating simultaneously, on this system?

    BTW, CPU - z recognize the two sticks and reports correctly 1536 MB, the BIOS but only 1 GB, in fact less, since some plans to unlock the graphics card.

    The version of the BIOS on my system is V2.80, dated 05/03/2007 and the two memory are the same speed PC2-4200.

  • Low graphics performance after the setting of the default BIOS satellite L30 - 10W

    Hello!
    In a first time - im not English so my language is wrong.
    Half a year ago and windows vista showed 3.8 also efficient graphics card, I bought Toshiba L30 - 10W. Then, I played without any problems on windows xp (call of duty 2, flatout 2, fifa 07). But lately, I supported at the default bios and now I can not play on windows on this game because I have about 5 frames per second. I tried to reinstall modded, latest drivers, old drivers, windows drivers - nothing works.

    I installed vista rescue dvd I got with the computer and now the effective partition of the graphics card is 2.3! That means when I bought computer graphics card was overlock? I have phoenix bios, buy, that I do not see here all functions related to the graphics card.
    Help, please!

    Hello

    I ve got a L30 with Vista and checked the BIOS values.
    I must say that the value of the memory is not editable in the Phoenix BIOS!
    It s assigned automatically!

    In my opinion, you should check if it is possible to change some values in the ATI catalyst graphics.
    Otherwise, reinstall the OS using the Toshiba Recovery CD

    I had the same question that I've updated couldn t of the BIOS. The solution to my problem was very easy: you need to extract all files from zip archive, and then start the update. So extract all files to a new directory and try to start the update.
