BIOS password after BIOS update on Satellite A210-131

I just bought this notebook and update his BIOS. After update done computer shut down automatically. Then I turn them on, he asks for password, which I never gave any of them in BIOS.
What is the password?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Can not find BIOS update for Satellite A30

    Hi friends.
    I'am not found Toshiba A30-203 a new BIOS update.
    I want install the windows vista but this error sccren.
    Error message:
    "A computer has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is first time you2ve seen this Stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vendor for an updates BIOS."
    to apologize for my bad English.

    Hi
    It seems the Satellite A30 series is a one of series which was delivered with the no Vista support BIOS.
    I think it should be possible to install Vista after a the BIOS update.
    But know you will ask for the new BIOS version. Am I right? ;)
    Well, on the Toshiba BIOS page you should find different BIOS versions.
    Its very important that you will check the more info option before you will start the BIOS update. There you should find information about the BIOS compatibility (not every version is compatible with every unit).
    But as you know the Vista is not official on the market. As far as I can remember it should be possible to buy the OS in January 2007.
    I think Toshiba will offer a new version of Vista BIOS in the next time. I hope so ;)

  • Bios update toshiba laptop A210-sp6811

    Where I can update my bios toshiba laptop A210-sp6811, it appears the model of my laptop in the search.
    Solved!

    Satellite Pro A210-SP6811 (PSAFHU-01D00NB)
    The Toshiba drivers, utilities, and BIOS for the Satellite Pro A210-EZ2202X should work, because that machine is in the same PSAFHU part-number family. They are here.

  • No Bios Update for Satellite: L755D-S5204 / Inability to change Memory Settings in Bios

    Ok so I bought two new 8GB of BLUE Kingston Hyperx 1600 MHZ Memory Modules with heat spreaders recently from newegg.
    I installed them, and my system recognizes the full 8 GB, but when running CPU-Z the memory MHZ is registering in at 665.5 MHZ.
    I want to be able to run my Memory at least the STANDARD minimum 1333 MHZ if not be able to change the MHZ if possible to 1600 MHZ.  I CANNOT DO THIS WITH THE BIOS THAT CAME WITH MY SYSTEM, AND I CANNOT FIND A BIOS UPDATE ANYWHERE ON THE TOSHIBA SITE THAT WILL LET ME DO THIS.
    My system Laptop Satellite L755D-S5204 has the basic Bios that came with the system.  However I do not know or CAN NOT FIND any flash updates to update the bios so I can change these setting.
    My question to Toshiba Tech support is it possible to clock my system memory higher, and how do I do this with a BIOS that doesn't let me make any changes to my Voltage to my Memory, and doesn't let me make any changes to system memory or memory timing settings??
    When you figure that out and if you could possibly help me resolve this problem, please email me because as a computer technician I am really intrigued as to the reason why Toshiba doesn't have a FLASH BIOS UPDATE that will let you change the Memory settings, and Memory Timings!!
    Thanks,

    BIOS does not provide such option!
    I have no idea what graphic card you have but for example the Sat P850-138 was equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M graphic card.
    This GPU supports dedicated VRAM (default 2048MB)
    The available graphics memory can be expanded using system memory, through TurboCache
    In case the system memory would be expanded to 6GB RAM, the TurboCache technology could use up to 4,095 MB VRAM

  • 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 ;)

  • Problem installing BIOS update on Satellite U series

    Toshiba's TEMPRO facility has notified me there is a BIOS update (published 07 Apr 2010) to be installed.
    When I first received this notification I downloaded the .zip file and extracted its contents - BIOS_UPDATE_V170.exe - but on executing this file I received a pop-up error saying <"c:\" folder is not accessible>. I decided there must be a bug in the installer which would be corrected in time, so I did nothing and waited.
    Today I received another notification that the BIOS update was available, but once again I get the same error. My c:\ folder looks OK to me!
    The extracted BIOS file is in C:\TOSHIBA\ARSENAL10_10G_BIOS_UPDATE_V170_WIN where I extracted it to (having initially tried running it from my downloads folder, I thought I'd try from somewhere else, but it seems to make no difference).
    Can anyone offer any suggestions? All assistance greatly appreciated.
    Otherwise, how do I get advice from Toshiba?
    Cheers
    ttstoo

    OK - my mistake - ran as Admin and it runs ok - but the BIOS Updater says the date of the update is not later than the current one, so I guess I must have managed to install it the first time after all! Apologies.

  • BIOS Update Failure Satellite L505D-S596​5

    I have a Satellite L505D-S5965 that was interrupted in the middle of a BIOS update. It turns on but doesn't display anything, the power and AC Adapter lights are solid and the fan is running. I tried plugging in an external monitor and using the Fn + F5 shortcut but that was unsuccessful. I was wondering which brand the BIOS was and whether they have a recovery tool? Any insight is awesome!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Reflash for INSYDE BIOS.
    Using a separate computer if necessary perform the following:
    1) Download your notebook model's BIOS "*.exe" file from the Support section. Mine was: slm0v150.exe
    2) Extract the files from the "*.exe" file.
    3) Locate the file that ends with ".fd", this is your actual BIOS file.
    *(for different brand BIOS's the file may have a different extension such as .rom or .bin)
    4) Rename your BIOS file to: "BIOS.fd" without the quotations.
    5) Format a USB Flash Drive to (FAT or FAT32) file system.
    6) Copy your newly named "BIOS.fd" file to the root directory of the Flash Drive. (Not inside any folders)
    On the corrupt computer perform the following:
    7) Remove the Battery, AC Adapter, and Hard Drive.
    8) Plug the Flash Drive with your "BIOS.fd" file on it into any USB port.
    9) While holding the Fn and F key on your keyboard:
    a) Plug the AC adapter into your computer.
    b) Hold the Power button until the computer turns on.
    c) Release the Power button and both keys once you hear the fan turn on.
    10) Observe your Flash Drive's LED's blinking, wait until your computer turns off and remove the Flash Drive.
    11) Replace Battery and Hard Drive.
    12) You're computer should be all set!

  • BIOS update for Satellite Pro 4600

    Hello everybody,
    I am trying update the bios and i have followed the instructions, but I don't know what is wrong.

    2.-unzip the filed in a floppy nonbootable.
    3.- reboot the computer with the floppy in.
    4.- press f12 while boot.
    5.- nothing happend, the system ask me remove the floppy but nothing is updated.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    I found this Toshiba BIOS update instruction for this notebook series:
    1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a formatted floppy disk (please see note below regarding which type of disk to use).
    2. Ensure the Notebook is connected to the mains.
    3. Turn the Notebook off.
    4. Turn the Notebook on with the F12 key. Keep the key pressed until a short beep can be heard.
    5. The message "Ready for BIOS update. Place the BIOS update diskette in the drive and press any key when ready to proceed" will appear.
    6. Place the diskette containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy disk drive and press any key. FDD access will begin.
    7. When prompted by the message: "Please push the RESET switch (or turn AC power OFF/ON) to restart" remove the floppy disk and either press the RESET switch (if available) or turn the system off and back on to restart the Notebook.
    But note; BIOS update is always risky! If your notebook runs ok, then the BIOS update is not really necessary!
    greetings

  • Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A100-200 (PSAA8E)

    Hello,
    Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
    The BIOS on the download page is November last year, is there anything newer or does anyone know of an update that is compatible?
    Thanks,
    Ian

    Yep, newest updates and drivers for your notebook you will find on the Toshiba download pages, as Jimi already mentioned.
    Just as a little hint from my side is, that if there is nothing wrong with your notebook, just leave it as it is.
    As there is the saying, never touch a running system.
    So keep that in mind. ;)

  • Windows 7 - BIOS update question - Satellite A350-13A

    Hi,
    I have the Toshiba A350-13A for Poland.
    It came with Vista 32 bit system. I would like to install there Windows 7 64 bit.
    So I have a question for BIOS update.
    In my toshiba model driver section for WIN7 there is only a 32 bit BIOS for OS independent, but in the Vista section there is a 64 bit BIOS.
    So shall I stay with the 32 bit BIOS or update to Vista 64 bit BIOS?
    best regards.

    Hi
    Do you have any performance or notebook issues using the 32bit BIOS?
    If everything is working properly then leave the 32bit BIOS on your notebook.
    I would recommend updating the BIOS only if some serious problems would appear
    Cheers
