After BIOS update my Satellite A200-13J is slower

My notebook is slower since I updated the BIOS? I bought this notebook 1,5 month ago and now it takes 7 minutes to start! Internet Explorer takes 50 seconds to start...
Did I installed an update which isn't compatible with my notebook?? What do I have to do???

I have updated BIOS on Satellite A200 (PSAE0) to version 5.20 and there are no changes at all. Maybe you should back up all your important data and make clean OS installation.
I know it sounds stupid but you must also understand that nobody here know your personal OS settings and what can be reason for slow bootup.

  • Right shift key doesn't work after BIOS update on Satellite A200-28P

    For some reason, after I upgraded my Bios, my right shift key doesnt work and neither does my FOUR and SIX button, hence why i have written in words :(,
    I tried reinstalling windows, hasnt made a difference.
    I tried rolling back the drivers for the keyboard, as well as changing to the US version of the keyboard, nothing has helped.
    Thanks

    okay first problem is, my warranty was due to expire, so i brought an extension, and nothing has happened whatsoever on those regards, secondly, i ran a keyboard test, and i found out that it wasnt only the four six and right shift key which was now no longer working, but also the f2, f10, f11, f12,
    I have used a external keyboard, which works :D but it annoying to use that when the whole point of a laptop is to have the inbuilt keyboard,
    any suggestions on this

  • Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)

    Hello,
    Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
    My bios is 23/10/07 Windows Vista 32 Bit 1.80-WIN

    Hi
    Did you check the Toshiba European driver page?
    There you could find all drivers and BIOS for the Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)
    But I checked the page and the BIOS 1.8 for Win Vista 32bit is still the newest one.
    Seems you are already up to date buddy ;)

  • Blank screen & no booting after running BIOS update on Satellite A200-1AE

    Here is my problem with my A200-1AE (PSAECE) Notebook:
    I downloaded the latest BIOS update from the Toshiba download drivers library to install Win XP since finally the drivers are realized. (Note the update clearly stated to run ONLY if you want to install XP on you NB).
    So I unzipped the file and after hitting the .exe file it started updating the BIOS on its own without me giving the liberty to do so. Half way the N/B froze for about 20 minutes and as I didnt know what else to do so I reset it.
    Result? The NB does NOT boot. I press the power button, the Hard Drive icon flashes 2-3 times as well as the DVD drive, I get a blank screen and the power cord & power button icons constantly on. I removed the battery and the power cord for 48 hours hoping it will reset the BIOS on its own to no avail.
    The BIOS battery is under the touchpad which means I have to disassemble the whole laptop and I am not ready to do so. I dont know if on the motherboard there are BIOS reset jumpers and I need someones help as to what I should do. I am starting to think that things where MUCH easier back to when I just had a desktop PC.
    THERE must be something I can do other that taking it to the service center and pay half the value of the laptop in repairs.... PLS HELP Im desperate....

    Hi there,
    first of all: a notebook is not a desktop and such mobile computer does not have jumpers like a deskop computer. They surely have something to delete the BIOS but I am not so sure IF resetting the BIOS could help you.
    I guess you will have to send your machine to a service center for repair because in such cases you will have no other option. Do you have still warranty on this machine?

  • Re: Chinese words after Bios update on Satellite L100-119

    I updated my Bios in notebook Satellite L100-119 PSLA3E with version 3.20 wordwide and after that my Bios words become chineese.
    Has anyone the first bios?
    Plese help me.

    That's strange
    Did you use the BIOS from the Toshiba European driver page?
    This notebook belongs to the Toshiba European series and if you want to update the BIOS then you have to use the BIOS from Europe!
    Anyway, the latest BISO on the page is 3.20-win and this is only BIOS which is available
    If you need an older version then you will need to contact the Toshiba ASP in your country for an older version maybe they could help
    But check the BIOS again access the settings and set it to default
    Then save the changes and boot up again
    Maybe this helps

  • HDD clicks after Bios update on Satellite A100

    Hi.
    I just made a bios update to my Satellite A100 PSAA9, and after that I started to hear some clicks on the hard drive, from time to time. They do not occur very often, but I'd like to know why do they started!
    The bios update was released in 26/11/2007.
    Does anyone have the same problem??
    Thanks.

    This is the thing:
    if this is the same that was happening in Ubuntu, the problem is that the heads of the disc are parking too much. They are stopping too much when they shouldn't. The noise, the clicks, are the heads stopping. This happens (I think) because the disk is shutting down.
    This a good thing, if done in the right conditions. It saves energy. The problem is when the disks shut down when they shouldn't and too often. (the disks support only a determined amount of head parking, usually 600 000).
    The last time I was in Vista, it seemed to me that the noise had disappeared. But then I eared it again. Still it seems to be less frequent.
    I don't know, maybe i'm being paranoid .... :(
    I'm working in Ubuntu, and can't spend too much time in Vista. When I have time, I'll try to turn on Vista for a day or two, and watch for the S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics of the disk. Then I'll be sure of how many times the heads park, and it they are parking too much!
    (sorry if the English is bad! )
    Thanks.

  • More graphic memory after BIOS update on Satellite A110-195

    After Instell BIOS Update from 1.30 to 1.60 avaliable crahpic memory: 64 Mb, must be 128 Mb.
    It after update or it my mistake?

    Wait a moment. As far as I know in specification for this Intel 945GM is written that this card can use between 8MB-128MB for video operations. I am not 100% sure but I believe you can not force this card to use fix value and it works automatically and used memory depends on available RAM and also on intensive video operations. Am I right?
    If you start system properties how many RAM is shown under General tab?
    BTW: BIOS downgrade is not possible. It can be done just by service using special tools they have. Because of that you will never be able to find old BIOS versions on download page.

  • 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)

  • After BIOS update Satellite L350-172 doesn't start anymore

    Satellite L350-172 Bios-Update from bios-20090203164614 to bios-201002250
    I just updatet the BIOS of my notebook from 1.60 to 2,20. Now the Notebook doesn't start any longer.
    "It was stopped for reason not to damage the Computer" - blue schreen.
    How can I downgrade the bios again? Or - what have I to change in the bios-settings?

    Hi schuwe,
    Im a little bit confused about your posting. How do you tell your BIOS not to restart?
    Anyway, after BIOS update you should load the default settings in BIOS.
    Did you choose the right BIOS especially for your model?

  • 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
    Greetings

  • 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 L650-1KR PSK1JE - dead after BIOS update

    As the subject already states, my Satellite L650 - 1KR Part No. PSK1JE is totally OFF after BIOS-Update 2.40-WIN from bios-download-page.
    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... :-(
    Please help!
    Thank you in advance...

    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.
