• Satellite A135-S2286 - USB ports does not work after BIOS update

  I recently had the dreaded BIOS password prompt problem. I checked online to the toshiba support site and took the laptop to a toshiba authorized service center and is fixed by getting the updated BIOS updated to 1.60, but after update BIOS, none of my USB ports work.

  When I connect a USB device, a warning from yellow pop up comes up unrecognized USB device. The same USB device works fine on other computers/laptops. I searched online for a solution and found on a lot of people have the same problem, but did not find any fix for this error.

  It will be useful, if someone has a solution for this error.

  Hey Buddy,

  Is there yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager next to USB ports or they appear correctly?

  If you notice a yellow exclamation you must remove the USB port and restart the computer. All USB ports are installed automatically, you do not need an additional driver.

  I hope that it helps :)

• Problem of Tecra M5 BIOS update

  I downloaded the file from the Toshiba site and now have P003Fv370.exe. Race that happens just with "update of the BIOS is not supported OS, unsupported operating system or service pack is installed". I was under the impression that it was independent BONES? Please help, I need to update to stop it crashing and blue screening me every half hour. I have already installed the value-added package.

  I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 PTM51E
  Running Windows 7 Enterprise
  Current installed BIOS is version 1.70

  I also read somewhere on the installation with a USB key, if someone could help I would appreciate it. Thank you.

  Post edited by: deleting
  Just tried again and it says "Could not create"C:\TOSHBIOS. " UPD file! "I don't know what is happening more.

  Hello

  The P003Fv370.exe is a package.
  Right click on that package and select unpack here.
  Now you should see the other folders inside this .exe package.

  From my knowledge, it takes a file that starts the BIOS update.

  If it won't work, I guess you need the original preinstalled system Toshiba update BIOS.
  The other hand I n t think that BSOD appears due to the old version of the BIOS.
  I guess that the update does not solve the problem.

  Maybe the BSOD appears due to a problem of critical software or hardware issues so would be really interesting to know if the same thing happens with the help of preinstalled Toshiba system

• Qosmio DX1210 starts plus-mise the Bios updated has no

  Hello

  I tried to do an update of the BIOS on my DX1210 last night to version 1.5.
  There is a write failure error message during the update and now the system does not start.
  Is it possible to reflash the bios when a bios update fails?
  I have all the files extracted on one but key USB bios I don't know what to do to initiate a bios recovery?

  Well, the BIOS problems can be solved only by a Toshiba authorized service partner.
  I guess the ROM module where the BIOS is stored, not properly was flashed.
  The Rom module can be flashed again using a disc special crisis.

  So I don't see a real option for you: get in touch with the guy from service for repair.

• Dead by Satellite A500-1pj after involuntary Bios Update

  Hello world

  A friend of mine bought a new PC laptop toshiba Satellite A500-1pj a month ago. Windows 7 pro 64-bit pre-installed.
  Also preinstalled: support software toshiba who - correctly - configured search automatically and installs updates and critical fixes.

  Last Sunday this wonderful software recommended an update 'critical' to my friend - she's no expert but a user experienced who can make the difference between an update of the bios (and avoid this!) and a security patch, she agreed to download and install what she believed to be a security update.

  Sure, she gave permission to an update of the bios being installed. During the process of updating the machine froze completely. She waited for three hours and then pulled the plug. Guess what: the machine is now completely gone. Does not display without fan, simply nothing.

  Hotline support Toshiba told him that his cell two weeks old is not under warranty because this warranty does not cover software 'problems and the Bios updates are software upgrades.

  The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...

  My questions:

  (1) the laptop is a Satellite A500-1pj (PSAR9E-01M00QGR) fitted to a phoenix UEFI bios (bios toshiba/phoenix, 1.1.26 update tool is pretty radical - no warning at all! he tried to update me my computer dell laptop, lucky!).
  I found some posts on older machines that can be reflashed using a usb disk, hot spare bios back and a combination of keys (Fn + B or Fn + F...). is it possible to do this with a UEFI bios too?

  (2) anyone out there have the same problem?

  (3) any chance of toshiba help us with that issue and prevent others from making the same mistake to understand at least a warning in their bios updates?

  Thanks for your help!

  Tony

  > The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...
  I doubt that
  I think that the module ROM BIOS was flashed incorrectly (don't know why) and therefore you can not start the laptop.
  This can happen for different reasons, maybe that the update process was interrupted due to a process running in the background, etc.

  In order to solve this problem, the ROM module must be flashed again using a special crisis disk BIOS... that's all.

  The update of the BIOS is always a sensitive procedure but if everything was done correctly, then update the BIOS must successfully complete.

  I found this very interesting and useful to Toshiba and HowTo doc correctly updated the BIOS!

• Re: Tecra M9 bios update without windows

  I have a Tecra M9 runs only [Opensolaris 2009.06 | http://opensolaris.org/os/downloads/] on this subject.
  Is it possible to do a Bios Update (acutally I have 1.50)

  Is there an ISO image or back - tools so I can create my own ISO image...

  Thank you
  GerryH

  Hello

  I doubt you'd be able to update the BIOS on the Opensolaris OS.

  The Toshiba page provides only focused on the victory of the BIOS, which means that you need to install windows to update the BIOS.

  The traditional BIOS version allowing you to update the BIOS by using the USB disk is not available for download.

  I think that only FSA (authorized service providers) availability to perform a BIOS update using the diskette.

• Tecra 9100 - problem BIOS update/restore

  Hi all:

  A few days ago, I (declining misguidely) tried to update the BIOS on my Tecra 9100. Now on startup I get the message "BIOS (Block1) is damaged! (Call the repairman). Technician: Place the maintenance disk in the drive and press any key when ready "." I tried to restore the BIOS by following the instructions on the web page of the BIOS (traditional method using a USB FDD) driver - put on with the key immediately to the left of the SPACEBAR key leads to the message "ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update floppy in the drive and press any key when you are ready to move forward. "The disk is regularly consulted and the laptop will beep every 10 seconds for a period of a few minutes. Then it stops, but should be repeated after any key is pressed. There is however, no change in the information in the form and no result just possible restart in the same error message on the BIOS damaged.

  Anyone can shed some light on what might be happening here? I'm afraid that I maybe should I follow a few instructions on the screen (as the instructions for the update of the BIOS suggest) that I do not see that the screen is not active? So I can't hit the correct answers when required. Should I really the military and its maintenance diskette? Is this disk available anywhere if I can do it myself?

  Any help or suggestions that anyone can give on this subject would be much appreciated - I don't want to go hunting a new motherboard unless it is absolutely necessary.

  Cheers, Chris.

  Hello Chris

  I am not a technician, but according to your assignment, I'm sure that your BIOS chip is damaged. I'm afraid of nothing that you can do everything alone. I recommend you call and explain the situation.

  I'm really skeptical you will find these special tools online.

• Brick machine after BIOS update

  Here is a method that has worked for save a laptop HDX18 running an Insyde BIOS.

  Download the latest BIOS for this model.

  FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp51501-52000/sp51618.exe

  Save it on the desktop and use 7-Zip to "extract the files, when you open it you will find a file with the name of 3610F34.fd.

  Rename this file to 3610.BIN (I used the capitols)

  Enter a USB flash drive 2 GB or smaller and it must automatically be formatted in FAT32, when it's done copy and paste your BIOS file, newly appointed to the flash drive, safely eject the drive on your computer. (not just pull the USB port)

  On my HDX18 Bricked.

  Remove the battery and the adapter and hold down the button for 30 seconds to do a hard reset.

  Plug the flash drive into one of the ports USB left , hold the 'Windows' + 'B' key and hold your it plug the adapter.

  Start the laptop should begin to beep and read the flash drive, release the keys when and finished the laptop turns off. Let stand for 3 minutes and Windows.

  I had my dv8 two choices to replace the system board or replace the BIOS with a pre-programmed one chip.

  In my case, I was certain that it was a bad BIOS update because the machine was in perfect health before the flash.

  I decided to replace the chip, and 'My Tech' was most useful in the identification of the chip of the BIOS as well as Note Book Review. I bought the chip of 'My Tech'

  While all mean, this means that if your laptop is out of warranty , there not a lot of options to fix things.

  Most of the people do not have the skill that it takes to resolder a BIOS chip on the motherboard, and in this case, a replacement motherboard is the only alternative.

  OR

  If you have all your hard drive partitions in tact (the key is the HP tools partition), you may be able to save the BIOS of this partition by organizing the 'Windows' + 'B' key down to start. This works as with the factory original OS installation, you don't have not changed or added to partitions and if your machine is more recent then 2010.

  Before you try everything before, make sure that it is in fact a corrupted BIOS problem.

  Also note that this thread is only dealing with an Insyde BIOS, not Phoenix or any other.

• Satellite 1410-604-BIOS update > update BIOS Incorrect in the web?

  Hi there again!

  Now with a new and strange issue.

  We all know that tell old... "If it does not break, don't fix it." And if you put in more computer terms, "especially if it's a BIOS.

  Yes, we all know that the BIOS is something quite dellitate to manage. For some reason, we normally feel as if we manage something like nitroglycerine, or radioactive products. And it's because we all know who is put at risk at the moment: our (or sometimes other) computer, the whole system could end up as dead as some pieces of metal, plastic and son.

  Well. I passed through all of this, more than 10 times in my life, and only once, it went wrong. But since this old motherboard was already dead, it was not important. But I've always been EXTREMELY care. Allways cross checked everything before you do anything, allways has a backup and a way to allways and restore that backup... I did COMPAQ systems, which have been prepared in this way. A BIOS update was about about a disc, turn on the PC with the disk in the floppy drive and wait. And if you don't like the results, you just click on 'back to a previus BIOS' and that was it... very nice. And easy.

  A few days ago a friend gave me a Toshiba Satellite 1410 604 to solve some problems that have been her crazy. After you remove a Norton Internet Security has expired, install avast and scan, I found more than a hundred of files infected with a variety of viruses, malware, trojans, and everything you could imagine. Avast all removed, but the rest of the operating system was so unstable that we decide to format it and install from scratch.

  I asked for the restore disks, which obviously it failed because they were lost in one of his trips. After that we had confirmation of Toshiba representatives there is no disk recovery available for this model, because it is too old, we decided to install from scratch like any other normal PC and resigned to losing some of the utilities accompanying that CD and are not available for download on the Web site.

  I downloaded all the software available for this model, including two updates to the BIOS. (In reality an update, but in two versions: Windows and traditional) and prepared a CD with all the drivers and programs as if it were a new system installation. And everything was fine, no problems at all. Until we arrived at the wireless LAN card, but that's another problem is already solved (the mini PCI card for the WLAN does not support the encriptación WEP or WAP, and it is not possible to connect to any LAN encripted wireless).

  At this point, and when I started setting up and activation of peripheral PCMCIA and USB devices (this computer only supports USB 1.1, 2.0 not) I discovered this text from Toshiba Web site:

  "This Bios update adds functionality to your system.
  (BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. This program is stored in a chip memory dead on the motherboard.
  When the computer comes on, the BIOS is launched to perform various functions to start.)

  For more detailed updated information, please refer to Information update BIOS Toshiba"

  Quite specific. Isn't?)

  According to the information in this Web site, the available BIOS fits the following models:

  "Satellite 2410 414, Satellite 1410, Satellite 1410 - 654S, Satellite 1410 814, Satellite 2410-303, Satellite 2410-304 s, Satellite 1410 354, 2410-601 Satellite, Satellite 1410-401, {color: #ff0000} * Satellite 1410 604 * {color}, Satellite 2410-404, Satellite 1410-301, Satellite 1410-304, Satellite 2410 S403, Satellite Pro 2100, Satellite 1410 S203, Satellite 2410-304, Satellite 1410 554, Satellite 1410 S102, Satellite 1410 - 354F, Satellite 2410 703, Satellite 1410-303, Satellite 2410 - S203, Satellite 1410-801, Satellite 2410 603, Satellite 1410-902. ', Satellite 1410-313, Satellite 1410-802, Satellite 1410 714, Satellite 2410-354, Satellite 2410 514, Satellite 1410-614, Satellite 1410 704, Satellite 2410 515, Satellite 2410-504, 2410-702 Satellite, Satellite 1410 S103.

  Yes... it's here!

  Now when you go into the "Toshiba BIOS update information", you get:

  "Ref. FAQ: TRO0000000b07.

  A BIOS update is a {color: #ff0000} * operation is relatively simple and can be done by computer more competent users * {color}. All BIOS updates can be obtained from "BIOS update" Section download click here...

  Note: the BIOS files are specific machine the correct BIOS for your machine should be used. »

  Please note that Toshiba does not disencourage BIOS manipulation, on the contrary: they even encourage people to do. It is not badly needed, but at the same time that they encourage people to 'play' with such a delicate question, at the end of this page, in small letters, they say:

  "Toshiba provides this information"as is"{color: #ff0000} * without warranty of any kind * {color}, explicit or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of quality market or adequacy has a specific use."

  This should trigger yellow alarms in our minds.

  + "Human error is inherent in man, and it is not possible to eradicate. It will be displayed always, sooner or later"(Prof. James Reason). +

  And finally, I made the mistake. Although I have read this warning, I remembered all these successful BIOS update with COMPAQ and relied for Toshiba. This update was available there, and Toshiba told me that it was for this computer. Great!

  So finally, I disconnected all devices (USB), removed the PCMCIA (WLAN), plugged the battery charger to avoid any possible battery problem, restarted windows, and then Windows started the update (windows version, such as recommended by Toshiba). This drug looked very nice, nothing different from what I usually see on these old COMPAQs.

  As reported by the update program, the system would restart. And in fact he did.

  Windows normally closed (a little faster than normal, but without mistakes, and since there is no other programs that most - even the antivirus not working - no), the computer turned off, all lights (normal) offshore, and then again on...

  {color: #0000ff} * BEEEEEEEEEEEEP... BEEEP... ... BEEEEP * {color}

  OMG! I never movement something SO bad. 3-1-1!

  And now... What a 3-1-1 is here? Award BIOS would mean no card graphics or video deffective card, but it is not true, because it worked 20 seconds ago. There are BIOS.

  He never came again to life. He's still 3-1-1 beep.

  But now comes the investigation on the human factors involved in this accident.

  I found I committed the following errors:

  * (1) * rely in the constructor, even if they have WRITTEN their information may be incorrect or incomplete. (BAD if I was a detective QA & QC).

  * (2) * I cross checked deep enough (until it was already too late).

  * (3) * I haven't looked above for how to make a backup of the BIOS to restore must anything deceive you.

  * (4) * let Toshiba lead me to a path that I didn't walk, just because of their supply of 'increased functionality.

  * (5) * Beleave in Toshiba when they said "relatively simple operation and can be performed by the most competent computer users"... they never said it is infallible. "."

  Then I began the most interesting part of the investigation.

  {color: #0000ff} * "what went wrong?" * {color}

  Obviously, the update of the BIOS has not somewhere, somewhere. And I wanted to know what and where.

  First thing, I discovered that there is another Toshiba search engine called "askiris" ([http://askiris.toshiba.com]) and I looked to see if, for any chance I could get the old BIOS 1.20 version which was installed at the origin of this machine.

  And I found something... VERY interesting:

  And I got my first surprise here: there is a {color: #ff0000} * README. TXT * {color} that was not present in the file that I downloaded earlier from the repository of drivers.

  So I went the readme.txt and I found this:

  'README. CDC TXT 31/01/2003
  Flash BIOS version 1.40 for Satellite 1410
  -----
  This BIOS is applicable for the following models:

  Satellite 1410-S105
  Satellite 1410-S106
  Satellite 1410-S173
  Satellite 1410-S174
  Satellite 1410-S175
  Satellite 1410-S176
  Satellite 1415-S105
  Satellite 1415-S106
  Satellite 1415-S115
  Satellite 1415-S173
  Satellite 1415-S174
  Satellite 1415-S175
  Satellite 1415-S176
  Satellite 2410-S203
  Satellite 2410-S204.

  Please note that the model 1410-604 is * NOT * listed.

  I thought ' well, there must be another archive... ". »

  But then I realized a name that seems familiar, that is, in the directory where I unzipped this file 1.40, and the name is:

  {color: #0000ff} * 2410A9V140. EXE * {color}

  So I took the other file, the update of BIOS_Win, and I discovered that the name of the file is:

  * {color: #0000ff} 2410A9V140. EXE, {color} * (Ups!)

  So I once again, uncompressed to find:

  No readme file...

  Then another issue raised in my mind: what happened to the other file 1.40? What did the other 2410A9V140. EXE are inside?

  This:

  * {color: #ff0000} they have two 20 files and 1 046 461 bytes. I asumed that they are the SAME two folder {color} *.

  And the readme file does not list the model 1410-604 in its readme file, so I can't explain it except as a Toshiba error. * {color: #ff0000} they put an incorrect BIOS on their website and has proposed updating and somehow lead to such mistakes. {color} *.

  (Except in the case that one of these models is a name that is different from the model 1410-604, and if that's the case... now I don't know why this BIOS do not work with this computer).

  The worst thing is that neither the other files (V1.10, 1.20 and 1.30) lists the 1410-604, apparently so no solution possible workaround for this problem. I need an original v1.20 to the CMOS, and Toshiba seems to have. They offered me to solve the problem, leaving the laptop to an ASP, and pay only € 95 for the work and about € 280 for a motherboard replacement, I will get it resolved. But they offer no guarantees of their possibilities because is a model "too old" and "abandoned" and "unsupported"...

  In other words, they said 'you don't have to bother with it, just go and buy a new' (something of quite out of my reach in this time of crisis): P

  Thanks for reading so far.

  Now, what I need is to get ideas on a work around for this, my ideas are:

  (1) the CMOS has some startup that works (it allows a roll-back if you have the appropriate file). So I need a good BIOS to burn in the CMOS memory, the SAME SAME model (a backup BIOS) but the backup should be sufficient for the burning program (CHGBIOSA.COM).

  (2) it is always possible that the BIOS might be OK, but the CMOS data has been corrupted somehow. If so, the CMOS of compensation could solve problem. But I wasn't able to find a clear cmos from the outside button, and after disasembling I took battery, with no good result. I try to leave the MOBO without battery for a period more long (I left it about 20 seconds) just in case where 20 seconds are not all capacitors for well pass zero values. I don't have a lot of hope in this point.

  (3) try to get a REAL good update from Toshiba. I contacted technical support several times, and I was able to verify that they are only - phone operators, with a script in front of them, and when the problem is going - out of reach, they fall in the same response: "you must go to an ASP. I still have a faint hope to find someone who really knows a little and could illuminate with a good BIOS in this disc.

  (4) as far as I could find, this BIOS is not any BIOS-manufacturer known. It seems that it has been developed by Toshiba (own brand), so the Phoenix crisis recovery disk won't be of any help here. As well as any other BIOS recovery tool not designed for Toshiba BIOS. But I'm open to all ideas, which could be put to the test more or less safely. (Remember that the 'BIOS-BOOT-PART' feature still works, I don't want to lose that possibility alone of redemption).

  Wwwaaaaoooowww... what a falks long post! Sorry about that!

  Forgive me, but I wanted to be really clear.

  Someone give some tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.

  Please don't say that I shouldn't be doing... I already know that. I already did some research and found my mistakes, not to repeat them. Now, I need to spend, to move and to try to solve this problem, or at least learn to solve similar things. As much as possible.

  Thank you once again, in advance, and sorry again.

  Modified subject to beter reflect what the problem is (apparently erroneous file BIOS in Toshiba Download Center).

  Hi Fenix,

  Wow... He tooked a lot of time to read your post...

  Maybe I can help you.

  The Bios in the website is the right one. If you have downloaded the right version of the Bios.

  Toshiba America, which has most of the time the Askiris you used isn't accurate models for Toshiba Europe.
  This should be the reason, why does not the readme file contain the European model.

  I'll try to do an update of the fresh Bios using the update of the traditional Bios.

  Copy the files on the disk, put it in the floppy drive, press and hold power on the notebook tab.
  After that the laptop is off, press on and hold the key on the left side of space power on the laptop new bar and wait until it turns off again.

  If your laptop does not power perhaps the most, the RAM is default?

  Therefore, if the use of the traditional Bios or change memory doesn't help, and your laptop is still dead you should go to a SPA, but it will cost money.

  I now have my fourth Toshiba laptop and I had never problems with the Bios updates.

  The 1410 is very old I think, so before you go to a SPA, I'd buy a new ;)

  Best regards

  Maurice

• Satellite 1130 Z24 BIOS update problem.

  I have download the proper file, but saves it as tw30170w.rom. How do I run it? Windows does not recognize it.

  Hello
  I would try it with the traditional Biosupdate.

  Download bios here-> http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  Watch "Support & downloads", click on "Download Bios" a choose your model

  How to upgrade the BIOS

  Satellite 1130

  1.) extracted the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
  2.) insert a 1.44 MB diskette formatted in the floppy drive.
  3.) Execute the file *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen. A BIOS update diskette will be generated.
  4.), make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector.
  5.) turn off the laptop.
  6.) place the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy drive.
  7.) turn on the laptop with the F12 key.
  8.) the BIOS boot menu appears. Select 'Removable Device', 'USB Floppy Drive' or the diskette symbol using arrow keys. Press "enter".
  9.) the Notebook will start from the BIOS upgrade diskette.
  10.) the BIOS update will start automatically.
  11.) after a few minutes the laptop turns off automatically, remove the disk and do a restart. If it does not then remove the disk and turn off the system and return to restart the laptop.
