Notebook does not start after BIOS Update crash

Hi all,
I just want to ask whether is a chance to reactivate my Satellite A300 after a BISO update crash without send it to the Toshiba service.
I downloaded the new BISO and started it from the Windows menu. After a few seconds my PC crashed and everything was frozen.
I switched off the PC.
Now when I press the power button to start the Notebook the monitor is black and I can hear a sound brrr, brrr, brrr from the CD-Rom drive.
Do you think it is possible to boot from a CD or something like that. Is it possible to reactivate my notebook?
Your help would be really appreciated!
Thanks a lot
Best regards,
Chotte

Sorry but if the BIOS chip is damaged there is no much you can do about it. You must contact authorized Toshiba service provider.

Qosmio F50-10Z Bios update crashed - how do I reset cmos?

I have a Qosmio F50-10Z and as prompted by toshiba I downloaded the Bios update and began to install.
My screensaver came on and the whole thing crashed.
Would not turn off (even after holding down power button for 15 secs).
Took battery out and then put it back in. Computer powers on but screen is blank and won't boot up.
Tried to take it apart to flash the bios by taking out rtc/cmos battery (whatever it's called) but can't find the battery and got to the point where I wasn't willing to take it apart any further (has no-one else ever taken one apart?
Couldn't find information or diagram or photo of where the battery was on net...manual for laptop really unhelpful)
Have found comments about crisis disks but I don't know what this means.
So, how to I reset bios?
Please help - you are my only hope.

Thanks for your comments. Do you know where I can download a Bios flasher or Bios recovery crisis disk from? There seem to be a lot floating around forums but I cannot find anything specifically for my laptop. Am I missing something on the Toshiba website? I have seen people mention downloading a bios flash utility from toshiba (specifically for the F45) but can't figure out where they are getting this from...
In response to your recommendation - I know that is what I am encouraged to do but I'm in the UK - my nearest Toshiba recommended technicians are PC world conglomerate - the sort of guys who pat me on the head when I ask for specific RAM (rather than 'some memory, please'), look blankly at you when you say the word Bios, and bang their mouse when the computer freezes! Besides, they want 50 up front whether or not they manage to fix it, and given how many of my friends computers they have failed to fix that my boyfriend then fixed in ten minutes, I might as well burn my money as send it to them.

Satellite L675 - BIOS update crash

I tried to make a bios update, it started and suddenly pc crash.
Then i press button to open it again but nothing happens only blank screen and shutdown, anything to do?

You have big problem now. Obviously the BIOS is screwed up now and in such case only authorized service provider can help you with this.
What you can do is to check this thread and try to follow advice described there. Maybe you will be lucky and bring your notebook to work again.

Satellite L500 - BIOS update crash

Hi,
I attempted to update my BIOS on my notebook because it was suggested on Tempro, and now I wish I hadnt have bothered.
My laptop has now been updating for 3 hours at the programming step 3 of 37 stage on BIOS flash and is completely frozen it wont do anything at all.
I know I shouldnt turn it off,but gave that a try and even that wouldnt work.
Its just sat humming and I dont know what to do with it.
Any ideas would be great
Thanks

Hi,
> My laptop has now been updating for 3 hours at the programming step 3 of 37 stage on BIOS flash and is completely frozen it wont do anything at all.
The Bios update takes several minutes to complete. it looks like that the Bios failure process goes wrong. If you turn it off, you will get a blank screen. I even don't know what to advise you. You can wait but I don't think it finishes well.
The bad thing is that you have to go to ASp (service center) and ask them to reflash for money. Unfortunately, there is no warranty for Bios failure

MSI K8N Neo V2.0 Bios update crashed

Hi there,
I just thought it would be an good idea to update the bios pf my MSI K8N Neo V2.0 retail mainboard via Live Updater 3. But near the end WinFlash told me there was an error and form then on I get a checksum error while booting. I cant find any bios data on the website.
Is there anything I can do to fix that? How can I create a floppy without Live Updater?
Hope you can help me.

My mainboard is this one http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=217
Its an Award BIOS. Which version I cant tell you but I did not update it before.
That's V2, not V2.0 ==> http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=210#menu

BIOS update crashed G530 4446-23U Win 7 32 bit

I have installed latest BIOS upgrade from Lenovo and my laptop crashed. (June 24 2011)
Will not boot, Lenovo restore doesn't help, can't boot from Windows 7 DVD
Does anyone know of a utility to create a bootable USB (or disk) BIOS flash
to roll-back to a working version of BIOS?
Lenovo G530 4446-23U, no HDMI support
Operating system: Windows 7, 32Bit.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yeah.... Warranty .... Thank you!
This is a solution which actually works;
It was recommended by a brilliant friend who is not associated with Lenovo:
create bootable usb flash drive
here is a link to download wintoflash utility:
http://download.cnet.com/WinToFlash/3000-2094_4-10974471.html
Unzip 6get19ww.exe to the usb flash drive to a folder (for example C:\SOS)
boot computer from newly created usb flash drive (if Windows doesn't work, use command prompt)
locate an old bios file on a crashed machine. It should be name bios.bak
copy located file to another folder with the name bios.wph for example (C:\SOS\bios.wph)
run WinPhlash.exe from a folder (for example C:\SOS)
specify backup file for existing BIOS as bios1.bak
specify new BIOS file as C:\SOS\BIOS.WPH
flash BIOS
Everything WORKS!

Satellite L300D - Won't load after BIOS update

I had to update my bios & it seems that the wrong one was downloaded about 3% into installing the laptop just died & won't go back on.
There are no lights & there is no noise from the laptop at all.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
The laptop is a Toshiba satelite L300D

Hello
Well, if BIOS update crashed you can do nothing because the ROM module must be reflashed. This can only be done with special tools and only an authorized service provider has such tools.
So please contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help :)

[HUGE BUG] Z87-G43 After 1.50 bios update

Hi, i was used to the 1.30 bios and had no problem at all.
But Live Update 5 told me there is a new bios update: 1.50, i couldn't resist to *upgrade* :(
Now i can boot my computer 1 time every 10, the others seems like i have some huge problem with the UEFI.
I normally boot with UEFI SSD (Samsung 840 PRO 128gb) with GPT partition and all with Msi Fast Boot enabled, now i'm scared to turn msi fast boot on! If i can't reach windows to disable msi fast boot i can't reach the bios too.
When i turn on the computer it ends up in one of those possible scenarios:
- UEFI Shell listing some of the devices
- UEFI Shell listing all the devices
- A try to load from SSD without UEFI resulting in "MS-DOS like" error "Boot disk not present"
- Windows Boot loader loads and tell me he can't reach the Disk. Hitting reply *some* times (sometime 1, sometime 2, sometime 3) result in proper OS boot
- Windows Boots correctly
This is totally random, when i enter the bios *SOMETIMES* i can see the UEFI HD icon blue (so it can find it), and *SOMETIMES* its grayed.
Do i have a way to rever to 1.30 bios? Or is a fixed version of the 1.50 bios coming? Now i know that if i power off my pc i don't know when i can power on it again :\
If needed i can post a video of that (hoping to reach windows again)
2 more info:
1) i always have the windows watermark "SecureBoot is not configured correctly", but i had it from before the bios upgrade
2) the bios updater crashed after the *windows reset* input, so i had the "Restarting" screen in full screen and i saw for some second that crash alert

hi, i resetted cmos and leaved only the ram in slot 2.
Maybe it's just luck but now i can boot to windows a little more easily!
Here what happened after the cmos reset:
Boot #
Result
1
Bios alerted me about the CMOS reset, i pressed continue and i got the "ms-dos like" error "boot disc error or not present". Rebooted, and the bios says the first device is the UEFI HD, so i have no idea what's going on
2
Boot to windows
3
Efi Shell with full list of devices
4-10
Boot to Windows correctly
After this i did a manual shutdown and i had 2 boot to full list Efi shell.
Another shutdown and i goes to windows recovery utility.
Another shutdown and windows booted up correctly 2 times
and.. now.. i'm here

New NF980-G65 with an AMD X6 1090T and the BIOS Update Utility Crashes?

Last week I received my new NF980-G65 board and with it an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3). After installing the board and starting it up for the first time I noticed that it reports BIOS version 1.1 and CPU unknown. Next I downloaded the BIOS update to version 1.3 from msi, made a boot USB stick and powered up again. System will not boot from USB. I tried now over 20 different sticks from 256MB to 64GB and none of them worked!
Went back to my old system and ripped its floppy drive out to install it in the new computer. Had to go to RadioShack since I have not touched a floppy in over 10 years, but they had some on clearance. Made me a boot disk, put the new BIOS and install utility on it, booted the system with the floppy, started the BIOS update utility and watched it crash. When I start it by itself it gives me three screens of options and commands, but as soon as I try to use one of the commands or update the BIOS it keeps crashing.
What do I have to do to get the BIOS on the NF980-G65 updated so it will run with my AMD X6 1090T processor?
Thank you in advance for ANY help...

I am sorry, but I need to work with this thing since I make a living writing code, I do not play with it! This thing and the support I am getting for it are not worth my time or money!
What thing are you talking about? You are experiencing the a certain symptom for which you do not know the cause. For some strange reason and without any in-depth tests you seem to assume that the board must be the problem (ignoring all other components (for example your factory overclocked memory modules).

What support have you tried to get that actually has to do anything with money? Please note that this is not MSI Technical Support but a User-to-User forum, run by users (just like you) that do not get paid for donating their private time to try to help others.

The result remains the same, the update utility keeps crashing...
Are still using the same floppy drive with the same floppy disk in it?

GT60 0NE-403US - crashing - do I need BIOS update?

Hey guys, I need some advice here. Any inputs are more than welcome!
I got a GT60 0NE-403US laptop a few weeks ago. It originally has Win8 64bits, now Win7 Ultimate 64 bits.
bios version E16F3IMS.5OU
build date and time 11/23/2013 15:22:49
EC version 16F3EMS1 ver5.04
EC build 09/24/2012
I experienced many crashes and sometimes BSODs when running all type of games (even old ones).
Reading some topics here and in other forums I decided to update the EC to the Win7 version provided on MSI website.
16F3EMS1.413.zip
That stopped all BSODs and some of the crashing problems, but not 100%. Old games are good now, but for newest games (like Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite) I was still getting some crashing followed by message (most of times) "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered", and from what I read about it, it CAN be related to overheating. Using MSI Afterburner for monitoring, I noticed that most of times when it's about to crash, the temperatures are above 80C (always using the cooler boost function).
I did a simple test underclocking the core clock by 20 MHz and memory clock by 40 MHz, it became much cooler than before (about 75C-79C) and experienced no more crashing after almost 1 hour of playing.
I think I've tried all type of video configurations and I'm getting out of options. The only thing I can think is to update the BIOS for Win7, but according to MSI website "If the notebook you purchased has Win7 Bios installed, please DON'T attempt to update using Windows 8 bios (or vice versa). Failure to abide may result in bricking your system.".
So the question is: Do I need/Can I update my BIOS? If not, what are my other options to this annoying problem?
Here are the specs:
Model: MS-16F3
Intel i7-3630QM - 2.4GHZ Turbo 3.4GHZ
GTX680M - 4GB GDDR5
3 X 4GB DDR3 - 1600MHZ
750GB SATA HDD
NVidia driver: 314.22 WHQL
Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver: 15.28.15.64.3062
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits - all updates applied
Thanks in advance.

Quote from: darkhawk on 03-April-13, 09:38:10
I don't agree with this. The people that were having problems had the GTX675M/GTX675MX cards. This would be the first person I've seen with a problem on a GTX680M. So, I don't really think this is 100% driver related.
I'm running 314.22 and haven't had a single crash, even with my GPU overclocked.
I had problems similar to this, when the GPU got above roughly 85C I would get driver crashes such as you suggest (NOT BSOD's...but you fixed that with a bios update).
Underclocking will help, although I'm quite surprised it seems to have helped as much as you show with such a small underclock.
Honestly, the first thing I would do is perhaps check to make sure all the heatsinks are not clogged with dust. It's very unlikely, but it could happen. Then, I would consider replacing the CPU/GPU thermal compound. This should hopefully help your temperatures a bit.
If you're uncertain of doing that, I would perhaps consider doing an RMA. It seems like you have some issues with the video card.
Thx for the suggestion darkhawk.
Actually I didn't do anything with the BIOS, I've only updated the EC.
Is it safe to update my current BIOS E16F3IMS.5OU (from what I saw on MSI website, it's only for Win8) to 30S (for Win7, my current OS)? Also, do you think updating it could help?
Thx.

System Crash During Bios Update

I have a HP TouchSmart 600-1055 All-in-One. While I was performing a bios update, the system crashed. Now, I can't boot the PC up. It doesn't even show that blue HP boot up screen and keep beeping. It's out of warranty already. What can I do?

Hi
I think you were trying to update bios via windows mode.. !
try removing battery from your motherboard and also reset bios via jumper settings..
or
Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 20 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-power on
or

Crashing Techra TE2000 Needs Bios Update, Using Windows XP. Any Advice?

I have an older Toshiba TE2000 that has been crashing lately due to an insufficient BIOS update. It also states there is a problem with the RAM. Each time the computer crashes and reboots, it sends me to a Windows supports site that has diagnosed the problem, referring me to a BIOS update.
I have been doing my homework and know that a BIOS update is very tricky and can lead to permanent damage. It may be necessary.. however I don't want to have to buy a new laptop.
Can anyone offer any advice or support?
It started crashing a few weeks ago, and crashed three times the other day. Are the crashes affecting my computer and what will happen if I don't update soon?
Thanks for all your help
Chelios
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Go to the Product Support Link at the top of this page, enter in your model, then clik on the Download Tab to find the available bios files for that model. DO NOT update the bios from within Windows. Don't do it, don't even think about doing it if you want to use your computer again. When you double click on the download you will be presented with the choice of creating a CD to flash the bios from. USE THIS METHOD. You can use a CD-RW so you don't waste a blank, but even the cost of a regular blank CD is cheap compared to the $100 that most places will charge you to fix a botched bios flash. Be sure to burn the CD at the slowest possible speed to ensure the best possible quality. Make sure that your battery is fully charged, installed, and the AC Adapter is plugged in just in case.
And don't forget to go into the bios and hit the F9 key to load Bios/Setup Defaults then F10 to exit and save just prior to and immediately after updating the bios.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
