DOS attack affected BIOS ACPI - need DOS BIOS for Satellite P60

Help!!!!
I am looking for the DOS version of the latest BIOS for the Satellite P60(C), but it seems it is not available for any users on any Toshiba site.
I installed the latest (1.9 for windows) but have the feeling that it still was not good enough to stave off attacks, since suddenly it does not want to boot from the hard disk, and even running software from the CD ROM meets up with a "sticky" end. (either BSOD with ACPI invalid information) or it will not even start on the hard drive, but will start on the floppy drive.
So, I am looking for the latest version of the DOS-based BIOS, but they have locked it out on the USA site and do not show it on the Canadian site.
I have repaired a lot of computers, installed BIOS updates.
I do not know what the difference is between the BIOS of the P60E, P60C, P60A, but assume since it is based on the same model parameters it could not be that different.
So, what I am looking for is the BIOS for mine, but will settle with any one of the P60's

Hi
I think you will be not successful finding a traditional BIOS update.
The Toshiba pages provide only the BIOS updates which can be updated from the Windows OS.
> I do not know what the difference is between the BIOS of the P60E, P60C, P60A, but assume since it is based on the same model parameters it could not be that different.
I think the differences are not visible for a common notebook user but it looks like the different A60 notebooks were delivered with different devices like CPUs or GPUs and therefore the BIOS update is not the same.

  • Need WXP drivers for Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

    Hiya,
    I've had to re-install Windows XP on my laptop. I don't have the Toshiba drivers CD though.
    So I came here to get the drivers but I've no idea which driver goes with which hardware in my Device Manager.
    Here's what I need the drivers for under Device Manager...
    Ethernet Controller
    Mass Storage Controller
    Network Controller
    PCI Device
    PCI Device (again)
    SM Bus Controller
    Can anyone advise which specific driver I need for each?
    Many thanks,
    James

    I want to know if this update works fine for A100-811 ?
    The last version 5.9, i understood there was a problem with it. In fact messed up my computer.
    I took it twice to service guys, because i believed i did something wrong, but i followed all the instructions corectly. Link http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS&FID=TRO0000000b07

    > Why they announce me by mail to make update bios, if it's not necessary
    Who knows what improvements the new BIOS supports from my knowledge Toshiba doesnt publish any details about the BIOS improvements
    But again; its your choice you can update or not but you know that its risky so why to update it if nothing is wrong? Only to have a newest version?
    Well buddy Ive got a 7 years old notebook and I have never updated the BIOS.
    I know that a newer version is available but my notebook runs great and Ive got no troubles so why to do this? My opinion is; never change a running system. And I think its a great advice because since long time it has been working properly.

  • Need new motherboard for Satellite Pro C50-A-1E0

    My son's Satellite Pro C50-A-1E0 went completely t*ts up. I think it is a common fault and requires a bios reset or something. Anyway I'm thinking a new motherboard will do the trick.
    Any help as to which motherboard to get that is compatible and would this actually help?
    Thanks.

    Hi nessie
    It is not easy to find new motherboard and believe me it is pretty expensive so you can buy new notebook.
    What you can do is to contact nearest Toshiba service provider at first. Explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this. They are also able to obtain new motherboard for you.
    Addresses and phone numbers you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

  • Need wireless drivers for Satellite A100-259

    Hi
    Had to reformat my daughters laptop (A100-259 PSAA2) due to virus issues and am in the process of rebuilding it. Almost there but can't seem to get the wireless bit to work. Nothing appears in the system tray even when it's switched on (little switch on the right has the light on). I assume because i've reinstalled XP that i need to reinstall the wireless drivers but i can't seem to find them on the toshiba web site (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK). It only shows the Atheros management utility.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciate especially as i'm pretty new to this kind of stuff and she has lost the manual that came with the laptop.
    many thanks
    Norrie

    Hi!
    I dont know why no WLAN drivers are available for this A100 model and Windows XP but you can search for an other A100 model (for example Satellite A100 PSAA8).
    Then you will find an Atheros WLAN driver for Windows XP and it should also work.

  • Need XP drivers for Satellite A100-230 PSAA9

    Hey, I'm re-installing windows xp for the second time on my laptop now as the first time i did it without consulting help and it resulted in not everything working and i got a bit too much of things i didnt actually have.
    I would like to know what drivers exactly i need to get it working. I don't know what exactly i missed out on last time all i know is that internet wouldn't work on it.
    Any help is very much appreciated because i've been trying to get this thing going for a while now and i would really like for it to work.
    Best regards and thanks in advance, Maxime Maison

    Thanks, but i downloaded the drivers by clicking them one by one on the list because clicking all gave a lot more options and it confused me so hopefully i have all the correct drivers now. However i did not manage to intall the LAN driver, I don't know why but i extracted it and there was no setup file just an uninstall file and some other files that didnt give me anything... i plugged my ethernet cable from my ADSL to my comp and it's not working... wasnt really surprised as i take it the non-installed LAN driver is the cause... if not, then what must i install for it to work i have the drivers but unfortunately not the CDs that came with the computer :(
    what have i done wrong?
    P.S the installation manual gave a huge list of hotfixes and other gibberish i didnt get anything from... i also by accident managed to click the uninstall LAN driver thing :o if that helps solve anything... shouldnt be so quick in doing stuff :(

  • Need new HDD for Satellite L300-1BD

    Hey,
    the HDD in my Toshiba Satellite laptop isn't working anymore.
    So I'm going to buy a new one today but which one do i need? Like how many inch? And is it a SATA connection or something?
    Could someone please tell me to what i have to look when I buy a new HDD for this laptop

    Hello Vivendi
    One thing is strange to me: I presume that your L300 notebook is pretty new one and I don't understand why you want to buy new HDD. Is warranty still valid?
    Please check it. If the warranty is still valid contact nearest authorized service provider and I am sure you will get replacement for free.
    If you want to buy it I also presume you want to replace it alone. So, remove the old HDD and on the white label you will find all necessary information about HDD.
    Anyway, you need 2,5 SATA HDD.

  • Need Technical Manual for Satellite P200-18Z

    I require a manual with detailed information of the hardware in this notebook.
    I am compiling a hardware particular kernel for FreeBSD.
    I will be very thankful for this information and I will post my configuration on BSD specific forums so that other people may use it.

    Hi
    Such technical manuals that you mean are not for public and are only available tor ASPs and Toshiba because on the Toshiba website I can only download the user manual.
    But for hardware informations you dont need a service manual. You can find enough informations in user manual or if you search with Google as Akuma suggested.
    Furthermore if you have installed XP or Vista you can use a hardware information tool, like PC Wizard 2008 or Everest.
    I hope I could help you a little bit.

  • Need wireless driver for Satellite P70-A-129

    Hello to the Community.
    I have reached a dead-end and after hours of efforts I need your input.
    I have installed Windows 7 x64 on my Satellite P70-A-129 and although
    I have downloaded all relevant drivers from the official support page,
    and tried them all (Atheros/Qualcomm, Intel, Realtek)
    the Wireless adapter is not functional as none of the drivers seems to be
    the one needed.
    All other subsystems/drivers are fully functional. I would enormously appreciate any
    input as to where to look/what to do next.
    Thank you in advance
    Vassilis

    Yes, BT installed without problems.
    Intel driver, Intel Proset application, Realtek driver, all installed without problems.
    The Atheros driver completed the installation but reported that it cannot find the adapter.
    In ALL of the above cases the wireless adapter appears with the yellow exclamation point, just as
    when there are no drivers at all.
    At this point I must mention that the wireless adapter was fully functional right out of the box (Windows 8.1),
    so there is no hardware problem (the laptop is two days old).
    Right now I am re-installing W7 (after so many trials and since I am not going to proceed with
    s/w installations unless all hardware components are fully functional) I figured what the h*** let's
    try fresh......

  • Need Wireless driver for Satellite Pro U400 PSU413

    Hello,
    I have a Satelite Pro U400, PSU413. It recently died a blue screen death and has since had to be formated and reinstalled.
    I am having a problem installing the wireless drivers.
    The ones listed under the downloads section for this model do not work and the user of the laptop will be lost without wireless.
    The file to download from the toshiba website is http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/tracker.jsp?file=http%3a%2f%2fsupport1.toshiba-tro.de%2ftedd-files2%2f0%2fwlesslan-20080530073920.zip
    I have downloaded/extracted and ran setup, i've also tried to manually install the driver but windows isnt interested.
    Any ideas?

    Fixed it myself.

  • Need XP drivers for Satellite A210-12Y (PSAELE)

    Hi,
    I'm a young professional and I have the need for using Windows XP to work since Vista isn't quite as reliable. Unfortunately I noticed that the drivers for said OS were not yet released (with my disappointment) on Toshiba's website.
    Could you please give me some indication on how to solve this problem? Or shall I just wait for the release of said drivers from the main website (hoping this happens any time soon)?
    A210-12Y PSAELE (00V00TIT)
    Sincerely

    Hi mate,
    you have two options:
    1. Collect the drivers from the internet by the hardware manufacturers, for example: chipset is from intel -> go to www.intel.com and download drivers from there, graphics is Nvidia -> go to www.laptopvideo2go.com, sound is a realtek chip -> www.realtek.com and so on. Do you know what I mean?
    2. Wait until toshiba releases the XP drivers for this model type. I dont when but it would be there when its there. ;)

  • Need installations CD for Satellite L500-245

    Hello, I hope some one can help.
    The computer is of my brother and he lost the installation cd and we need it to reinstall windows and all the features. I hope some one can help us.
    thanks!

    > we need it to reinstall windows and all the features. I hope some one can help us.
    The question is what you want to do exactly. You can do this using original Toshiba recovery image or using Microsoft installation disc.
    Toshiba recovery image:
    It contains operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba specific tools and utilities ad some additional software. Please note: after recovery image installation Windows must not be activated.
    Microsoft OS:
    After installing OS using original Microsoft disc you must activate preinstalled version. This cannot be done using product key from the sticker at the bottom of your notebook and you must pay the licence.
    Al necessary drivers, tools and utilities must be installed manually one by one and it can be pretty complicated if you dont know how to do this.
    My recommendation: if you dont have Toshiba disc order one and use it for OS installation. It is cheapest and also simplest way to install and configure OS.

    Dont think that anybody here will be able to help you and to get any links to the repair manuals.
    Fact is that such manuals are not for public usage; just for the Toshiba authorized service providers.
