  Hello

  Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
  And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

  You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

• Tecra A3 - keyboard failed after BIOS update

  I updated the BIOS on my Tecra A3 with the package of 2, 30-VICTORY, and the keyboard has failed... Only a few touches of clam work and they do not even give the good sign... I guess that there must be a language problem or something?

  In any case... I can't go in the BIOS or my bootmenu because even the F2 and F12 keys does not work... The touchpad works very well though, if I Explorer win xp etc...

  How can I fix it?

  Hello

  did you buy this PC in europe or elsewhere in Asia (, USA)?
  If you provide your serial number, we can check if the machine is a European model. If it is not then maybe you have bad BIOS installed.
  If the machine still works as you describe, then it should be possible to download the correct BIOS (if it was the wrong) and install it. It requires only the basic operation of mouse.

• Acer aspire s7-392-9439: lack of default boot device or startup failed.

  Hello
  I bought an Acer aspire s7-392-9439 3 months ago. It has been working fine, until yesterday.
  I turn on the computer and it poped a blue screen with the error: 'lack of default boot device or startup failed'.
  This error reminded me that a message on a bios updated poped over a few days and I have the chance to install it.

  I contacted acer support, I was told that the update of the bios would have avoided this problem. Also, they told me to try things that can help, but unfortunately none of them has:
  1 restore the default bios settings.
  2. change the bios settings: uefi to legacy.
  3 type the Windows key + c when the computer starts.

  When these options do not have they said it is probably a hardware problem and I should send my computer to their repair center.
  My questions are:
  1. If they updated bios would have prevented the problem, how can it be a hardware problem?
  2 - does anyone know how to solve the problem?

  I would appreciate your help,
  Michael

  I had the same problem.  Tried the diskette of starting BACK and did not work.

  Here's how I solved it:

  (apologies to memory are some terms is not on-site)

  1. download the Setup file of the BIOS - link provided above in this thread (isST2212.exe)

  2. on a Windows 8 machine that works - search for 'Create a recovery disk' and run on a USB drive

  3. copy the file #1 to the USB drive once it's done make a recovery disk

  4. in the Acer BIOS (press F2 during startup), change to the method of priming of the legacy

  5 save and exit

  6. turn in the BIOS and move the option USB HDD as first boot device

  7. Save and exit

  8. you will end up in a Windows 8 recovery console

  9. go to Advanced Options - find the option that leads you to the command prompt

  10. from there I went to d: drive and found my file isST2212.exe - run by typing the file name when you are in the folder

  Make sure that you are connected to power - let it run.  It should install, automatic restart and you should be in business.

  I had an Acer offer to fix it for free with a 7-10 day turn around and at the risk of losing all my data.  It's a much better solution!

• Aspire M5 'Default boot device lack or failed to start.

  Hello and thanks in advance for ANY help you can offer. I have an Aspire M5 that suddenly no longer starts and gives the message "Default boot device boot failure or lack" and claims recovery media to be inserted. I usb recovery media and have also signed up with cloud of Acer. With my recovery media, I tried to refresh and to my PC nothing will do. When I try a system restore is gives me an error and says "you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart, select the operating system and then select the system restore". Unfortunately there is no operating system to select when I restart. I am very worried about losing the data on my hard drive, it is more precious than the drive itself. Now I'm checking if somehow my files are backed up on Acer Cloud - is there a way to do this? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated thanks!

  Not good.

  I suspect a failure of HARD drive, the only way to check is to remove your laptop and connect it to another PC with a external HARD drive Bay.

  ACPI-> Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
  ACPI defines hardware and software interfaces that allow focus on the OS configuration and power management to enumerate and configure motherboard devices.
  For example: ACPI is necessary for the standby and hibernation mode.

  Now your question; the new BIOS has been updated and configured to using VISTA.
  It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

  After the bios update, try to resolve everything by default, and then save. Then change the settings of date back to the time you have not yet updated to the bios. Save and exit.

  Because you don't want to initialize the network try to disable it in the bios.

• "Boot device not found" Message After BIOS Update

  Today I was invited by the HP Support Assistant software that a BIOS update was available, so I got the application download and install the update. When the computer is back to the top, it says the boot device is not found.

  Ugh.

  Can someone help me with this?

  I have a HP ENVY TouchSmart m7-j010dx Notebook PC running Windows 8.1. Laptop was working fine before the update, which means that I probably would not have allowed the update of the BIOS.

  I found the problem (for me, anyway).

  1) go into the BIOS (F10 from your black screen) configuration settings.

  (2) fix the "Legacy Boot Options" and save your changes.

  As soon as I did it, it starts immediately in Windows.

• Satellite A660 - boot problems USB after BIOS update

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and have recently updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.80). Since then, the laptop freezes on the splash screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
  It works without the memory flash connected and if I connect it after I enter the starting or the BIOS Setup menu. I can even start her like that.
  As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious regression. Is there a way I can downgrade to the version of the BIOS, or any other way to solve this problem? I rely heavily on external USB drives.

  Kind regards
  Claudiu.

  Claudiu salvation,

  That is really interesting, I have to say so I tested on my new Satellite A660 and Transcend 4 GB USB Stick. Well, I also installed 1.80 BIOS but I can t view this problem HARD drive is set as first boot device and all the other BIOS settings are default. The Toshiba screen and Windows computer starts as usual.
  No problem at all!

  Have you tested different USB devices?

  In General, it is not possible to downgrade BIOS. It is possible to an authorized service because Toshiba on page you can download the latest version only but I doubt it s a bug in the new version of BIOS because it works on my A660.

• Cannot boot after BIOS update

  Hi, I recently bought a laptop Inspiron 5000 series, and because the touchpad control was just horrible I did a check for updates and upgrades. The update includes an update of the BIOS I plugged the laptop and ran the update. When it restarts, it failed. All I see is a boot failure:

  The family Realtek PCIe controller error. Media Test failure UNDI. No found boot device.

  I couldn't do a safe boot, but when I tried to get around the boot legacy and UEFI boot it will start.

  I am quite unhappy that a BIOS update (version 1.1.9 was the old version and 1.2.2 was new) caused this. The laptop is only 4 weeks old if I want to get this resolved.

  What should I do?

  You need not Mech system program.  This is what DellCares told me to do it on Twitter:

  Turn on the machine, key to tap F2 on startup Dell logo, it takes you to the BIOS screen. Go to the "Startup" tab, select "start list Options", change the option to "Legacy" to "UEFI".  Restart the machine, it should load correctly in Windows.

  -----

  I must point out that many others on twitter had already told me to try the same thing.  A person has explained why this has happened.  He said upgrading the BIOS changed the start to the legacy option when we UEFI.  Enter the BIOS and change this back solved the problem, so he's probably right.

• Satellite L300 refuses to boot after BIOS update

  Hello

  L300 my girlfriend was terribly dragged so we decided to format C:. We did it with the XP restore disc that came with it.

  Then we had to update the drivers. We started the installation of upgrading the BIOS on Toshiba driver site, disappeared for a while and when we returned, the computer has restarted itself.

  He has been stuck in a cycle of the screen "loading windows" and one with a lower bar that says press F2 for this or F12 for this. Tried all the options in the start menu, not even safe mode works.

  We have tried to reformat with the previous method, by inserting the XP CD and by holding down the 'C' button when starting. We get the familiar "Windows Setup" screen, and it seems to load all the files from the CD windows installation. But when we come to the installation, we get a blue screen error message. "A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer...". Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D254, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

  Nothing seems to work, please help! We really want to save the images on the disk D: partition.

  Hello

  Try to configure the BIOS to the default settings.
  You need to access the BIOS, and there you can set the default value.
  Please check if you can install the operating system by using the-> AHCI and compatible SATA mode.
  If you are using AHCI to include the SATA drivers. If you are using compatibility mode, then SATA drivers are not necessary.

  If you want to get access to the HARD disk before you install the operating system in the C partition, then I would recommend to start the laptop using a Windows Live CD WinPE and BartPe.
  Both are live CD what don t need an installation, you must boot from this drive only to access to content on the HARD drive.

• Satellite A100 PSAA8E: Cannot boot from USB after Bios Update

  Hello

  I downloaded the latest bios (v6) for my satellite a100 (psaa8e) and after the update of the old bios, I noticed that I can not boot from USB. Is there a way to restore the old bios or will this problem solved?

  See you soon
  MB

  And before you can update the BIOS you were able to start the bootable CD from the external optical drive USB drive facilities?

  To be honest I really don't believe it. Try to connect USB FDD and you will see that the FDD is recognized and you will be able to use it as first boot device.
