After BIOS update Equium A100-147 wont boot

Can anyone help me please?
Updated my BIOS as recommended using the windows tool! All went through fine, backed up, verified and flashed new version. After the auto reboot my laptop will not boot past the Toshiba screen, press F12 and nothing, F2 and I just get PLEASE WAIT. Guess I won't be trying Visa or indeed any OS now.
Why oh why did I do it? All was fine before but was advised to do it for full compatibility. Do I need a new board or is there a key I can press to unable me to boot from CD to reflash or return to old BIOS?
Please help!

I always say: do not touch well running system!!!
Anyway in your case something goes wrong with BIOS update and you must visit authorized service in your country. They can help you. Sorry but there is nothing you can do alone. BIOS functionality is very sensible case and if BIOS chip is defective now you can not do anything to make it work again.
Sorry. :(

Re: EQuium A100-147, wont start, \windows\system32\config\system -missing-

This laptop Equium A100-147started not connecting to internet normally, but would in safe mode.
So after trying virus scans-nothing.
System restore-nothing. I decided to put in the recovery disc and reinstall windows media.
I changed boot sequence to install it, changed boot sequence back to original.
It has reinstalled but will not go by the Windows Screen, A message has come up \windows\system32\config\system -missing or corrupt.
I cannot even see a way of doing a repair with this recovery disc??
Any help would be appreciated
thank you in advance.

That error means the Registry is corrupted.
The registry is made up from the following files:
c:\windows\system32\config\system
c:\windows\system32\config\software
c:\windows\system32\config\sam
c:\windows\system32\config\security
c:\windows\system32\config\default
You can restore these Registry files from the hidden System Restore folder on C: Drive.

Equium A100-549 wont boot properly

On the other day, my Equium A100-549 suddenly couldn't be booted. When the power is ON, there is no anything coming out on the screen (totally dark!). I have noticed the hard derive's light is not on, though the other lights are on.
I tried to boot with the recovery CD, but nothing came out, even F12 or "C" was pressed following the power on press.
I am suspecting that there would be a malfunction of the hard drive, but no any experience to judge this.
It would very appreciated for any advice.
Cheers.

I'm sure it's not a HDD malfunction.
If the HDD would malfunction, then you would receive an error message that the OS cannot be booted up or something like that.
If you don't see anything on the display and if the Toshiba splash screen does not appear too, then I??ve got a bad news for you buddy.
In most cases the motherboard fault causes such issue. :(
But this is only a suggestion and maybe you are a lucky guy and a cheaper part instead of mobo could be faulty.
The ASP can answer such questions... therefore my recommendation is to contact the authorized service provider in your country and to ask for the notebook check.
Hope the best...

[SOLvED]Installation restore after BIOS update. UEFI doesn't boot.

Hello.
In order to solve my trouble with firewire on my motherboard in was adviced -in the FW mailing list- to update the BIOS. As expected the boot entry created with efibootmgr was erased but thats fine and i knew it was going to happen.
The problem however is that neither archboot (USB) neither archiso (CD) nor ubuntu12.04 (USB) can boot into it so i can restore the uefi entries.
All hang with a blank screen. Ubuntu and Archboot booted fine in UEFI mode before the update.
I tried nomodeset, acpi=off and noapic but ended up with the same blank screen and no messages at all.

I downgraded to the previous (83) and to the original (70) and it doesn't boot in any of those two in UEFI.
It worked fine with version 70 before the morning update.

Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

Hi.
Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
bios-20070709111839.zip
After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
Thanks in advance
MAT

> Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update
What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
Good luck

[HP Omni 10 5601TW] Tablet won't boot after BIOS update

I tried to use this utility to update my tablet's BIOS.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-132613-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4157&product=6796753&sw_lang= After the update my tablet doesn't boot, or in the words of what this BIOS version fixes, the tablet stops functioning and displays a black screen after the BIOS is updated. How can I restore previous BIOS? Thanks in advance,Arpan

hey, i have run into the exactly same issue with my Omni 10 - Win 8. there was a BIOS update available in the HP Assistant app, i installed it and rebooted. Now no display on boot. On pressing the power button, i just get a usual small vibreation of the tablet switching on, and then nothing happens. the vibreation keeps repeating every 10-15 seconds. there is no display. i have tried with power+vol up and also power+ vol down button combos, but it just keeps vibrating every 10-15 seconds with no display. was a solution found for this?

Satellite Pro C850 wont work after Bios update

my satellite pro c850 cd wont work after bios update from toshiba.
what do i do?

Saying: dont work you mean it does not power up or what do you mean exactly?
Did you flash the BIOS properly?
Possibly something went wrong during the update and this means that ROM module isnt flashed properly
In most cases a special BIOS crisis disk would be needed to get it working
Not quite sure if you can get it fixed by your own
Check this thread. Maybe it helps:

Equium A100-147 doesn't boot up - no display on screen

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Equium A100-147. When I switch it on, I can see the LED's light up but there is no display on the screen.
I read on a previous thread on a similar model that this was fixed by resetting the computer.
I understand there is a possibilty that this is an issue with the motherboard, however I remain hopeful that a manual reset might work.
Can someone please tell me how this can be done??

You could try this short and simple procedure;
- remove the battery from the notebook
- disconnect all external 3rd party devices and the AC adaptor
- leave the notebook for about 20-30min
- then connect battery and AC adaptor again
If the notebook will not power up after this procedure then your have a serious hardware issue and only the ASP could help you.
I dont want to make any statement about the possible faults because its always difficult to say whats wrong exactly but it looks a little bit like a mobo issue.
Bye

The bios shows updated and i can go into the bios but the ram amount and frequency does not show rite and it also does not want to boot any of those items.
Please advise.

Hello all,
I, too, found this oversight on the part of Lenovo to be quite distressing. It is possible to upgrade the X61 BIOS with a USB thumb drive. I have provided directions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=817897
The above tutorial is aimed towards Ubuntu Linux users. However, I believe that users of Vista should be able to follow along. Please let me know if you have any questions... the process is simple enough that it should be possible with any OS out there right now.

Equium A100-147 Virtual Sound reinstall problem

I have read a few posts relating to the same problem I have, but with no definitive answer. I have the Equium A100-147 with Windows XP Media Center. I downloaded some up to date files from the Toshiba site (all for my model), including:
acsil-xpmce-100008-en
assist-xpmce-10300-en
confree-xpmce-59007ab-en
csutil-xpmce-7211006
ctrls-xpmce-3221506-en
display-xpmce-142004543
fmd-xpmce-2004
pcdt-xpmce-321u-en
pwrsav-xpmce-70307i-en
sdform-xpmce-2200-en
sd-secure-xpmce-104-en
sound-xpmce-51005253
toupad-xpmce-10001st-en
and then: tvs-xpmce-10312-en (latest Virtual Sound driver for the A100-147)
I uninstalled the old version of the Virtual Sound driver before attempting to install the new one. But as I have seen elsewhere, I get the message:
"Toshiba Virtual Sound does not support your computer."
I have spent all afternoon looking up and trying to think of ways to fix this. I have since updated my BIOS (bios-550win). Not one thing I try will make it work. I have even deleted references to Virtual Sound in the registry in case there was any conflict going on. It has made no difference though.
Could someone from Toshiba please explain why I am being told that I cannot install what was working perfectly well until this morning, prior to these updates, which are all for my notebook model? It's ridiculous. Apologies for my tone, but having wasted hours on this, I am extremely frustrated and just want my laptop back the way it was (and before you ask, yes, I have tried a System Restore, but that does not work either).
Thanks,
Mac

I ran some report the other night... not sure if this gives a clue to anything:
TVSASI v1.002 - TOSHiBA Virtual Sound Audio Service Information
Caption : "Realtek High Definition Audio "
Description : "Realtek High Definition Audio "
DeviceID : "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0861&SUBSYS_11791205 &REV_1003\4&1E09AF89&0&0001"

So the Realtek driver works fine, but still cannot installed the Virtual sound driver.

Equium A100-147 - System slow and sound distorted

Hi, Help needed.
I have the Equium A100-147, been working fine for a couple of year but in the last few weeks has ground practically to a halt, takes between 5-10 mins to startup and when starting and once started the sound is as if the memory is running slow (like distorted) this even at sign in when the windows tune plays.
Laptop has 2.5GB memory so should be plenty and 18GB free s not running low. Running XP SP2 MCE. Had zone alarm running, thinking this could be the problem have now switched to AVG, but still the same.
CPU in use when system idle, i.e. just started with no applications running fluctuates bbetween 25 and 55%
Any ideas on what it could be before I rebuild
Thanks
Gaffar

Hi
I think this is a known problem of Windows that its getting slower after one year or two years ;)
I think you should try to defragment your HDD and to delete some programs that you dont need. Then clean your system using CCleaner.
Disable all programs in start up that you dont need.
Furthermore you should AntiVir. In my opinion its the best freeware antivirus program that you can have.
Last but not least you should try to update the sound driver. Check the Toshiba website for a newer version.

Equium A100-147 - Native resolution on external LCD doesn't work

Hi,
My Equium A100-147 has 1 VGA and 1 S-Video output, so I'm using the VGA output on a external LCD monitor with native resolution of 1680x1050@60hz, but the integrated Intel 945 graphics card doesnt give me the right resolution to choose for this monitor, the most close is 1600x1200 and some another weird widescreen resolutions that make my monitor scaling show a ugly image.
So I tested another external monitor with native resolution of 1920x1200, and the closest resolution the Intel drivers gave me was 1920x1080, even installing both monitors drivers, removing and reinstalling the driver and even formatting the machine and reinstalling everything from zero didn't give any different results.
I have another laptop MSI Wind with the same graphics card built in and the very same driver version, and the laptop detects both monitor and the right resolutions for them, so it's not a monitor driver problem.
Seems for me that is a problem with the S-Video output that makes this mess, but there is no way to disable it in the BIOS or any another place in device manager I have seem yet.
Does anyone can give me some advice for what can I do?
Thank you!

actually the resolutions available to external monitors here on the intel control panel are
800x600
1024x768
1280x1024
1400x1050
1600x1200
1856x1392
1920x1080
1920x1440
2048x1536
so it seems possible to use another widescreen resolution at least to match aspect ratio without matching the right resolution.
I've just hooked my 1080p hdtv via VGA and I'm able to use 1920x1080 16:9 aspect ratio
seeing this another resolutions that aren't on the manual, maybe its possible to make custom resolutions as well.
I've tried make a custom driver using the intel ones and power strip but without success because I don't know exactly the range of frequencies to setup the driver .inf

Satellite Pro L300: BSOD after BIOS update

Hi
after update the Bios of Satellite Pro L300, the windows not start!
Its show the blue dead screen!
What can i do?

Hi
Are you able to access the BIOS settings?
Im not quite sure why this BSOD appears but possibly the SATA mode settings have been changed after BIOS update
Usually the SATA mode should be set to AHCI if the SATA drivers are installed.
But if the SATA drivers are not included the SATA mode should be set to compatible.
Please check this!
Furthermore you could set the BIOS to the default settings and could try to boot the machine again.

Equium-A100-147 - broken sound and video

Hi everyone,
I have the Equium A100-147, Its been working fine for last couple of year.
But in the last few weeks has get problem in sound and video (broken sound and video).
The sound is breaking and sometimes uable to listen + video breaking and so much delay due to its get so slow with so much sound distorsion etc..
This remains after new installation (format HDD) of Wind XP unable to fix even installed new drivers.
The Device Manager shows all drivers including audio and video working ok, d'nt know what's problem please help me.
Thanks.

Hi
Something like that can happen during high HDD activity this means that the reading/writing process could affect the sound/video playback
But usually this should not take long time
At the other hand this can happen because of higher temperature
High temperature can affect the CPU and GPU performance
I think you have used this notebook for couple of month without any troubles in my opinion you should check if cooling modules and fans are clogged and could remove the dust and debris from cooling modules use compressed air spray this helps p get rid of dust
Maybe then the notebook will run much better
