After BIOS update failure and rollback, audio hot keys detect press but do not function

All other hot keys appear to function properly, only the mute/audio-/audio+ hot keys do not work.
I can press the key and the vertical volume indicator displays but it does not move.
At this time, I suspect this has to do with the failed BIOS update yesterday. All keys functioned properly before the failed BIOS update.
All HP drivers and software are updated to latest.
Another symptom I don't know may be related is that my bluetooth headphones have refused to connect once now without a full reboot. Bluetooth would connect and speaker audio audio would be muted, and sometimes "Manage Audio Devices" indicated connected to headphones but no headphone audo.  Will warrant further watching.
The BIOS update was the most recent as of this writing and attenmpted to update only yesterday. I watched as the new BIOS progressed all the way to the point the BIOS attemnpted to flash and failed, then rolled back. I assume a backup was flashed because all my non-default BIOS settings had to be reset (non-UEFI boot, enable virtualization). 
TIA,
Tony
BTW - I find it odd I can't just press a button to export/print my system configuration from the HP Support Assistant, I have to click every individual entry separately, but here goes...
The current running BIOS is F.63
The full results follows

Seems after another day,
The problem resolved itself.
No reboot, no significant changes to the machine I can think of since my original post.
Just a spontaneous  self-fix.
Thx,

  • Toshiba P755-S5270 Won't start after BIOS update failure

    I was informed by Toshiba Service Station that I needed to update my BIOS.  During the update, my laptop froze.  After powering down it would not start again (Black Screen) the power comes on but nothing else.
    Any ideas?

    I understand if I would have just decided that I would change the BIOS for no good reason, I have what's coming to me, BUT when Toshiba's program "Service Station" that came loaded on my laptop, says that I need to update and I use Toshiba's program "Service Station" to do just that... and it fails... one might think that the program is to blame.
    If this Update was suggested by anything other than an approved program that came loaded on the laptop, I wouldn't have done it.
    What really irks me is that I've owned this laptop for one year to the day and my warranty just expired!
    Oh Well... Lesson Learned.

    Use the backup of your computer to put all the media and files back.
    If you chose to reformat the computer without doing a backup, well, that's just dumb.

  • Laptop dead after BIOS update. How do I restore original BIOS?

    Model: HP Pavillion m7-1015dx
    Original OS: Windows 7
    Current OS: Windows 8 64 bit
    Problem: 
    I tried to update the BIOS using this file:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-124651-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Released:2013-10-08
    File name: sp63801.exe [1/1, 6.56M]
    Version F.29
    It gave me a Blue Screen of Death and the computer restarted. After restarting I only get a black screen, the fan turns on but there's no text and no way to access the BIOS nor the boot menu.
    The Caps Lock led starts blinking twice, then stops  for 1~ second, then blinks twice again and again, indefinitely. This, according to HP, suggests a BIOS Corruption Failure.
    What I've tried:
    I don't have the HP recovery partition, so I've tried installing both HP UEFI BIOS Update SoftPAQ and HP UEFI Support Environment SoftPAQ to a FAT32 USB drive named HP_TOOLS. I have tried these tools separately, not at the same time. I've tried them with 3 different bios downloaded from this site. I hold the windows key and B, then turn on the computer. Nothing happens. I have tried Fn and B, holding them for different lengths of time, there's no beeps, no text on the screen, nothing. The led on the USB drive flashes over ten times at the beginning and then stops, then caps lock starts blinking again. I have tried putting the .bin file in different folders in the USB, including the root, same result. There's no.sig file in the bios I have downloaded.
    I am on mobile, excuse the errors. What am I missing?
    This question was solved.

    Thank you. I'm typing this from my just-recovered laptop. I don't know what I would've done if I wasn't able to fix it. You are a true hero heroine.
    A few pointers for others with the same problem:
    * Make sure you have at least .Net Framework 3.5 installed. Phoenix tools wouldn't generate the files until I installed it.
    * Not every BIOS version on the HP site can be installed with this method. I had to click on "previous versions" and only the three oldest ones were able to generate the required files with Phoenix tools.

  • I can't activate windows 8.1 pre-instal​led on my Toshiba E45-B4200 after BIOS Update

    I bought Toshiba laptop Model E45-B4200, at first time I could activate windows 8.1 like a charm.
    Few months later Windows 8.1 has crashed, so I did clean install of pre-installed windows, no problem so far. Toshiba Application installer app has downloaded BIOS update, so I ran it.
    I tried to activate windows after BIOS update, but it didn`t work. No error message, but Change PC settings window just got minimized every time that I tried to click on Activate Windows option. I thought that I did some mistake, so I repeated windows reinstallation, and same problem occurred again.
    Now I can`t update Windows, Office 2013, and so on. 
    I`ve tried SLUI 4 command to force activation by phone, but it didn`t work as well.
    I read on MS blogs that windows 8.1 stores product key on MSDM table, windows should be activated normally. Now I got no options now, can you help me?

    It shouldn't need to be activated it. Everything should be automatic. Because it's asking you, that's already indicative of a problem. You might want to call customer support.

  • After BIOS update DVD driver do not read DVDs anymore - Sat A80

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A80-131 and after bios update (last version 2.5) by windows procedure update, my DVD drive do not read DVD medias anymore. It is possible to read CD medias, but not DVD one.
    Can I reinstall the old bios? Can I reinstall the firmware?
    Thanks
    Ronai Lisboa

    Hi Ronai
    Like Jimi has said in the posting above. It's very unusual that after BIOS updating the DVD drive hasn't read the DVDs.
    Furthermore it's not advisable to use any 3rd party applications to DOWNGRADE the BIOS. Usually only the ASP can downgrade the BIOS. Such procedures are very serious and the wrong procedure can damage the motherboard.
    However, it's nice that you have solved the problem and that the drive works properly.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • 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.

  • 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 p6230a runs slow after bios update - Getting error BIODHD-8 on Diagnostic Tools

    After bios update my desktop runs so painfully slow it is unworkable.  Disk drive seems to be constantly hammered by processes that don't appear on task manager.  Running 64 bit windows 7 (sp1).  Running the diagnostic tools prior to boot up comes up with error code BIOHD-8 - A SMART test failed on the drive - please contact HP Support.  Ideally would like to get previous version of bios as machine was running well before update. 

    I will ask my HP Employee Expert colleagues about this internally. It will take a while for them to respond.
    the BIODHD-8 error code means your harddrive is failing and must be replaced.
    Back up everything that you possibly can before it fails and no longer boots up into Windows .
    is your notebook still within the standard warranty period of one year? A notebook hard disk is a warranty replaceable item.(no cost to you while within warranty)

  • 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:

  • Satellite A series does not start up after BIOS update

    After bios update with downloaded utility my notebook does not start up.
    Did this case covered by warranty?

    Im not quite sure if this would be covered by warranty. You should contact the ASP in your country for details but I presume its not covered.
    PS: Did you try this workaround:
    - remove battery, disconnect the AC adaptor
    - wait ~ 40min
    - connect both devices again and try to power up the notebook

    I tried everything: Press all buttons, take out the laptop battery, only laptop battery, ...simply nothing!
    My last hope is a hidden, very special key sequence for toshiba laptops or something like this.
    Of course my warranty is already over... :-(

    Sorry to hear you have such problem now. I presume something went wrong and now the BIOS chip is screwed up and in such situation you need professional help. Toshiba service provider can help you with this but Im afraid it can be very expensive.
    In the past I never had such problems but on the net you can find many pages with description what can be done. Visit this page and check if you can find something useful there. I mean you can try to fix it alone.
