Bios update for Satellite Pro L750 still on black screen

Hi,
The HDMI, USB, VGA and ethernet ports on the one side of my laptop were not working at all.
I rang the Toshiba warranty number and was instructed to update the bios.
It restarted straight away and came to the Windows log in screen and I entered my password.
After that the screen is just black.
It has been like that for 45min.
How long should it take????????
The light that indicates hard drive activity flashed occasionaly.
How long should I wait and what should I do???
Thanks

Hi
I think 45min is too long time I think there is something wrong.
Last time I updated the BIOS on my Tecra unit and this took 2-3min but definitely not longer.
Maybe you should power off the unit and should reboot it once again.
Good luck

  • 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.
    1.- download the files
    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

  • There are two BIOS Updates for Satellite A210 2.00-WIN & 2.30-WIN

    In 2010 there are two BIOS Updates for Satellite A210 2.00-WIN & 2.30-WIN

    They compatible for Satellite A210-1AO, Part Number: PSAELE-03Q009G3 (BIOS version/date TOSHIBA V2.0, 2008.06.10)?

    1. When I press power button notebook and OS start as usual.
    2. When I press power button and after I turn PC to BIOS mode, PC is crashing (shortly).
    3. So, I checked using standard OS tools hard disks for errors (errors was on disk where OS and all software installed. All errors was fixed).
    4. After I started using standard OS tools (Start from: BIOS->System start from CD-Rom with tools on CD) RAM memory test.
    5. On stage Test All Memory PC crashed. (No any dumps/logs left in the system about crashing).
    6. Now I need to do some physical manipulations. Ill have check each memory module. And I don't know how looking my motherboard, what is where on it. Where I can see scheme with details, names and elementary explanations (what is what)?
    Im not sure, but motherboard should be IALAA..?

  • 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 ;)

  • 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. ;)

  • 1.90 BIOS Update for Satellite A215-S7437 doesnt work

    I tried updating to the latest BIOS 1.90 on my Satellite A215-S7437 laptop but i found out that it froze at saying it was reading Old Bios, i let it sit still for 2 hours and then i did a hard shutdown. Then rebooted laptop, thankfully i did not bricked it had i done so my motherboard would be useless or would it?  My knowledge about BIOSes is limited but i do know something didnt go right.  Well only reason i was updating was because i saw that it added compatibility with Windows 7 and i plan to get Windows 7.  So is it worth the risk or would i be fine installing Windows 7 without the latest update which introduces 2.1 slic.
    Also is there a way to check if my old bios didnt get affected, i mean i know laptop is working right now but who knows. If my Bios ever gets bricked what would i do to fix it?
    BTW this is the update that i found not to work for me. Even though its for my model of laptop.
    ACPI Flash BIOS version 1.90 for Satellite A215 (PSAFGU/PSAFHU)
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=185272...

    If it's working correctly your old bios wasn't affected.  Since if froze while READING the bios it hadn't had time to actually write any new information yet.  That is what saved you.  If it had frozen while WRITING the new data it would have required sending it in to Toshiba for a repair.  If you decide to update the bios again you need to read the instructions for flashing From the bootable BIOS installation CD-ROM.  That is a MUCH safer way to accomplish this.  ALso make sure you are running on AC power.  NEVER FLASH WHILE ON BATTERY POWER although you do want the battery installed.
    I wouldn't update it unless you have to.  Wait to see if Windows 7 is NOT able to install or activate.  This is especially true if your system is out of warranty as you'll have to pay to get it fixed.
    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.

  • 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

  • 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 ;)

  • No Display After Reboot - Flashed with HP Software BIOS Update for HP Pro 4445s Notebook

    Hello,
    I am in need of your help, expertise and assistance for I really need to use my one and only laptop for work here at home.
    I installed an HP provided software for BIOS update. I was processed, save the current file system and continued with the flashing/updating the BIOS, successfully and a countdown should up to reboot the unit. When the unit rebooted, it now shows no display and a blinking caps lock led indicator. The power led button indicator is working while the caps lock led indicator is blinking and it takes 15-20 minutes then the laptop/notebook fan functions (I can here by the sound) but still no display.
    I've tried the troubleshooting steps and procedures, pressing the Window + B keys and the power button yet no luck. Tried as well with the USB fat32 formatted with the F0.1 BIOS inside but still no luck. I've already called HP Tech Support for ProBook and followed the instructions but still no luck. Last step that she has informed me, to try with an external display using the the vga/d-sub port on the notebook/laptop and to check if it will display on the external monitor. Did not try this yet for I don't have any nor spare external monitor to use.
    Any help and other set of instructions, fingers-crossed to fix this problem, would be greatly and much appreciate.
    Thank you and Best of All Success with your opinions.

  • BIOS Update for Satellite A300/600

    Hi all,
    I have a Satellite A300/600 (PSAG4A-02600M), which I have just installed W7 x64 on (I did a clean install). I am upgrading the drivers as per the Toshiba website. I noticed there is a BIOS upgrade to version 1.8 - I am currently running version 1.5.
    I have downloaded the update but when I try to run it I get the following message: "C:\Users\HELIF~1\AppData\Local\Temp\isc6632tmp\\i nsydeflash.exe could not be executed."
    The PC is running fine at the moment, no major glitches - do I need V1.8? If so, how do I remedy this situation?
    Other glitches so far in the upgrade process for me have been:
    Every time I pressed the mute button W7 UAC popped up to ask me if I wanted to allow the Toshiba program to adjust a system setting. Fixed this issue by moving the ButtonSetting.ini file and making a registry change.
    Loaded Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I inserted my XD card from my camera, W7 recognised it just fine, but WLPG could not see it. Therefore I am unable to import my photos off the card. Well, I can do it through W7 but WLPG gives you the options of fine tuning the import process which is what I'm after. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling WLPG after I'd installed all the drivers from Toshiba but it still won't recognise it. Still an issue.
    Lastly, in relation to WLPG, I can't seem to download Image Composite Editor, whenever I try the link to the download (ftp or html), Firefox just displays a blank page with "waiting for research.microsoft.com". Trying to find an alternative site to download it off but no luck thus far.
    That's it so far, any help would be appreciated.
    Message was edited by: helifella - added one more issue...

    Thanks for the advice. Won't be touching the BIOS any more.
    Think I found a solution to the WLPG problem = Picasa! No, but seriously, I will try the Windows or Windows Live forums when I get the opportunity. I must say I did like the face recognition in Picasa, makes tagging people pretty easy. If only tags were more standardised like audio tags (okay, I know there are a few formats but they're pretty good) so when I imported the photos I had already tagged in WLPG they were recognised by Picasa - grr.
    Anyway, thanks again, case closed.

  • Bios Update for G400s Touch/ White spot on the screen

    When will be released g400s touch's new bios? G400s already have the update. That is incompatible with my machine.
    Recently, appeared a white spot on my device screen. It's small, but it's bothering me since the notebook only has 1 year of use. The warranty covers?

    Moderator note: large image(s) converted to link(s):  About Posting Pictures In The Forums

    That sounds like a stuck pixel, usually has to be more than one to be a warranty issue. Contact Lenovo Support to verify your warranty status and determine if your warranty will cover dead pixels and how many would trigger screen replacement.
    Good luck.

  • Bug in latest 2 bios updates for FM2-A55M-E33

    Hey guys,
    Today I tried to update my bios of my FM2-A55M-E33 to the latest version(7721vA4.zip). Once everything completed succesfully, the bios wouldn't boot anymore.
    I plugged out my 3TB hdd and it worked fine. I installed an earlier version of the bios(7721vA0.zip) and this did work with my 3TB hdd.
    So in short:
    The latest bios updates for FM2-A55M-E33 will freeze(black screen) at bios start when a 2TB+ hdd drive is plugged in.
    Namely:
    FM2-A55M-E33 (MS-7) V10.3 BIOS Release
    FM2-A55M-E33 (MS-7) V10.4 BIOS Release
    I hope you can fix this asap, especially since these are the latest updates.
    Regards,
    Henkie de Grote

  • Re: Need Win 7 Recovery Disc for my Satellite Pro L750

    Hi all,
    Could someone tell me where to download or get a copy of the OEM Win 7 Recovery disc for my Satellite Pro L750? The laptop has a new HDD without a working recovery partition and I don't the recovery CD.
    Help Please.

    Yes of course you should make backup disks but this was my first personal laptop (unbelievable, right ? Never needed one before) and I wasn't aware i couldn't just make a recovery disk from any pc like I used to do for my desktop. The hdd is supposed to last for what, 5,000 hours ?
    I would be lucky to have had more than 1,000 hours on it. And no games play either; it had an easy life.
    As per Microsoft Forums I did a clean install of Windows 7 using a supposedly OEM setting download from Digital River (OEM in the 'channel' setting in the ei.efg file) but good old Toshiba must do something else in the hardware as slmgr /dli still states it's a 'retail' version so even though Microsoft would have given me a new product key (as to which i am entitled as i have purchased a licence when i bought the laptop), because the installation id states retail based, my genuine licence key number from the bottom of the laptop does not register as genuine when they check.
    I tried my desktop pc oem windows 7 installation disk that I got with the pc (now there's a whacky idea, providing a disk with the purchase...) and no luck there either. The laptop was still locked to its own licence key and retail version. I'm guessing even if i bought a new retail windows copy, it still wouldn't work !
    I still think $66 is far too much to pay to get the disks. I've already paid for the windows licence, But what choice has toshiba left me, other than to pay them their blood money.
    I may be a slow learner, but I do learn. I will never buy a Toshiba laptop, or other Toshiba product again. Sure, other companies will have the same licensing setup, but I'm not angry at them !

  • Satellite A200-23U - Need Bios update for XP

    Hi!
    Where I can find BIOS update for this notebook for Windows XP?
    Thanks.

    > Is it possible install other similar BIOS for XP from the Toshiba American driver page? Are there some forecasts for appearance of BIOS XP update on the Toshiba European driver page?
    I would not recommend installing different BIOS updates from different notebook series on the Satellite A200-23U.
    The point is that a wrong BIOS or not compatible BIOS can damage the ROM module or the motherboard!!!
    I would not risk this!!!
    Fact is that you should update the BIOS only with the version which was designed and published especially for your notebook model.

  • Bios update for my Toshiba satellite c675-s7200 - Helppppppp :/

    I am being told to download the bios update for my laptop so I put in the serial # and it gives me an update but I have read alot about once you upate your bios it wont work so I am really nervous about doing this..here are the problems I have been having..
    1. My laptop was restored back to the factory settings just like it came out of the box.
    2. When I turn on my laptop I have to press f1 to start windows now keep in mind it does not ask me to press any keys I only knew to press f1 because it was stuck on the Toshiba screen showing the f2 and f12 keys so I began pressing them all until i got to windows. None of the function keys work expect f1
    3. Once I get into windows everything runs and works fine. I have gone into my toshbia asst to reset the bios to default but it does nothing so I can not apply it. What do I need to do?
    I have been told that I need to replace my cmos battery but then I have been told that is not the problem the problem is the bios settings need to be changed to the default WELL ok how do I that if it will not let me?
    Helpppppp...

    Hi! It could be your CMOS battery causing this. Shut down your PC. When it starts up and you see F2 and F12 at the bottom of your screen, press F2. Find where it says to set to default on the bottom of the screen. My default is F10. Yours
    may be different. After you set to default , save and exit!
