BIOS Update interrupted - Toshiba e305-s1995

Hi,
My laptop was giving me this cooling system warning we all know about, when I googled and tried to search for solutions, one of them was to update the BIOS, that I did, or tried to, at least. Everything was great, downloaded the files, put them in my USB stick, started the installation process, when it did, my computer just shut off in the middle of the process. I think it was due to overheating, like it had done it before. The computer was sitting on a flat table, with a pedestal fan on it.
Now when I turn it on, it won't even display anything, just lights up the keyboard, and when it has to turn the screen on, it just starts all over again like a loop.
Now to the solution, what are my possible solutions? Is the BIOS chip removable? Do I have to change the motherboard, and if so where can I find it (I live in the Dominican Republic)? Is there something I can do to fix it? Or do I just forget I had a laptop? Please, I need any help, if any of you know how to solve this, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

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!
Dokie!

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?

Toshiba bios update

Ok so I just finally ran the recommended updates toshiba has been bugging me about at startup for the longest time and ran into an issue. Turns out there was a bios update hidden in there and I'm not sure that it finished properly. It ran the update fine from toshiba's update manager thing but after that it immediately restarted and continued updating from that actual bios menu and everything went smoothly until it finished. Now my laptop is stuck at this update screen saying its 100% done but refuses to respond in any other way, no keyboard keys do anything and the power button is unresponsive. I've been considering just yanking the battery out but I wanted to ask someone who knows what they're doing before bricking my pc. Here's a picture of the screen it's locked at and I'll include some specs: http://imgur.com/iRRDnwS
Toshiba satellite s55-a5295

Bios details are in the picture but it seems to be insydeH2O 1.3 updating to version 1.6
If you'd like any more details let me know and I'll try to get them.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yeah I held it for quite some time, everything was completely unresponsive. Fortunately I got if fixed today, I'll leave what happened in case someone has this specific problem. Turns out the bios was flashed successfully and it had fortunately frozen once things were stable. All that I needed to do was unplug the power and poke the tiny reset button underneath to force it to shut off and things rebooted just fine. Easy fix even if it was a little lucky, I'm just glad everything turned out ok. Thanks for the help Jerry!

I can't activate windows 8.1 pre-installed 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.

PLEASE HELP!! MY Toshiba L300 Laptop has black screen after Bios update

Hi, I was looking on Toshiba's website last night for an updated driver/software to fix my windows update which was not working. Whilst looking I had a message pop up saying Bois out of date and there was an updated verion, so I clicked update for my specific laptop, thinking that will be better. A window come up saying do not switch off. The the screen froze, and I could not do anything whilst it slowly updated, then the screen went black and remained that way for a considerable amount of time. I tried rebooting the laptop, it turns on, but bios will not load, the screen just remains black. Can anyone please help me, why would an update be on Toshiba's offical website if it does this?
Laptop: Toshiba L300-25G
Model: PSLB8E-0PG007EN
Serial: 59328582Q

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region. If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

Does Toshiba supports an BIOS Update Utility like DCCU?

Hi all
Different notebook manufacturer use a utility called the Client Configuration Utility (DCCU) which can be used to update the BIOS for multiple notebook models from the series.
I have searched these forums and the web but I cannot find a similar tool for Toshiba laptops.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks
Scott
Edited by: admin

> My firm has hundreds of laptops from another large manufacturer who do supply the DCCU utility to centrally manage BIOS updates and other BIOS settings, such as enabling/disabling options like Wake On LAN.
Well, the Toshiba provides a tool called Toshiba HWSetup. Using this tool you can change the different BIOS settings like booting order, wake up on LAN, etc very easily in the Windows OS.
As you know BIOS update is always risky and the BIOS update procedure is not always the same on all Toshiba notebooks series. The wrong BIOS or wrong update procedure can damage the motherboards ROM.
Therefore the BIOS update must be done on single notebook.
> Why is it that this particular manufacturer can create the DCCU utility that works for all machine models and Toshiba cannot produce a similar utility please?
Who knows ?:| I didnt find such informations in the internet or on the Toshiba page Such questions can be answered by a Toshiba technician or Toshiba manager but as you probably dont know this is a user-to-user forum and a simply user like me and you dont know such details In my personal opinion every manufacturer have own policies and restrictionsThat's all
Best regards

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

Where is a BIOS update for P505-S8010? And does Toshiba have a driver utility?

I have searched Toshiba downloads a lot and I can seem to find any bios update for my laptop
any links to the bios would be very helpful

Toshiba support bios update bricked my laptop.

I flashed my bios on the 2nd May at 7:44pm, prior to this I closed any running programmes etc, I clicked the bios utility that I downloaded from the Toshiba support website, it said it was updating the bios from 2.10 to 2.20, the laptop went to reboot and just died, absolutly inopperable, I push the power button and two clicks comes from the DVD drive and thats it, no HDD activity whatsoever..., I contacted Toshiba and spent £7 on the call only to be told that Toshiba wernt liable for the damage, I googled it and it appears that I am far from an isolated case, infact several other Toshiba customers have experienced the exact same thing, is this a scam by Toshiba to generate extra revenue from suckers like myself who go to their support page and trust Toshiba when downloading utilities from Toshiba, I have now been told that I have to pay £224 for a new motherboard, that is unacceptable, thats like me smashing someones window, knocking their door and charging them £100 to fix it, has any one else had a similar experience or know anyone else who has?

I have been racking my brain to try to get my girlfriend's P755 running windows 7 to communicate with my XP print server. I came to the Toshiba website and found the BIOS update to 2.7. The issue the update addressed didn't fit the network issue I was having but I figured what the heck it can't hurt,, right? Ha,,, Wrong. I followed the flash instructions to the T and when the PC re-booted wham Windows froze on the splash screen. After calling Toshiba where they tried to relieve me of $50 to assist me since her PC is a couple of months out of warranty I came to the website and found the F2,, F12 ESC instructions, none of which would get me into the BIOS setup screen. I even tried holding down the F2 key as someone mentioned while turning on the power to no avail. So I will share with everyone what I did to get into the BIOS and what I found when I got there. I held down the ESC key before hitting the power button then after the screen flashed once I hit the F2 key and voila I was in. Then when I got to power setting where I had to select allow network to wake PC <enable> <disable> it would not accept either entry and reported both a INVALID. I hit escape and backed out of BIOS and entered again and somehow managed to blow by power setting and set everything to the defaults. Oh one other thing. If you decide to burn the flash program to a CD it will go through the motions and even verify the CD but there isn't anything on it. Is Toshiba that hard up for money that they're trying to scam us or what? I personally own three Toshiba notebooks but the last one I bought may be "the last one I ever buy" if I encounter an issue like this again. Never in 30 years of dealing with PCs have I have a BIOS flash crash on me. What's up Toshiba?!?!?!?!?!?! You put out a bogus update then try to charge people $50 for a three minute fix that ended up taking me three hours? For shame,, for shame.

Satellite L850/0C9: Toshiba Service Station recommending wrong BIOS update?

I have a Satellite L850-0C9 laptop and Toshiba Service Station is recommending I install the new BIOS update labelled "Satellite Pro C850 BIOS Update - v6.50".
Should I install this as its not the same model as my laptop,
If not why is Service Station recommending I install it?

I assume this is your notebook and these are all the drivers and BIOS available for this notebook model:
http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/l850/pskdla-0c900r/download
The latest BIOS is v6.50 and it looks to be the right one.
The Pro C850 seems to belongs to the same series so possibly the BIOS is the same.
However, the BIOS update is always an sensitive procedure and from my point of view its not really necessary if you dont have an serious problems.

Toshiba Satellite L755-S5216 Black Screen after failed bios update

There was a Toshiba BIOS update that went awry and now the computer won't turn on. I can hear the fans and see the lights, but all there is is a blank screen.

I'm not a tech support agent, but there are a couple things I would suggest doing.
While the laptop is off and unplugged, remove the battery, hold the power button for 10 seconds, restore the battery, and try the laptop again. If that doesn't work, try booting on only AC power without a battery.
If you still don't have any luck, give support a call at (800) 457-7777.
Good luck!

Toshiba won't boot after Toshiba BIOS update

My Satellite P755 would not boot immediately after I did the updates that the Toshiba update software recommended I do. It still would not boot after going through the entire recovery process. At this point I'm thinking it must be a hardware failure so I called toshiba.
They told me it would be $49.99 for telephone tech support to fix the issue but that would be refunded if it was determined to be a hardware issue. The tech had me unplug the power, remove the battery and hold the power button down for 30 seconds (apparently this must remove the incorrect bios update or something). After putting the battery back and plugging back in the recovery process worked and it now boots again.
I'm happy this worked but a little frustrated that I paid $49.99 to fix an issue that was not caused by me, it was caused by the Toshiba update software suggesting and installing an incorrect BIOS update, which was confirmed by the technician that I spoke with. After talking to a rep and a supervisor I was denied a refund. I've lost time, money, and data over this issue.
The tech also told me I should call Toshiba anytime I update software to make sure it will work with my computer, even if it's an update recommended by the Toshiba update software.

Thanks to the original poster. I bought a laptop and I did the Bio update. I had an issue on my old laptop and i took out the power supply and that worked.
Now with this one after the update it would not turn on or do anything. I could not get to the bios or nothing as it was dead for the most part. It would trun on for a few seconds and I panicked as this is a lot of money to spend of a dead computer.
I have limited income and I was beside myself. I thought after taking the battery out and putting it back it continued to do it that it was dead. I picked me up and did a search on the web and eventually found this thread. I did what the oriingal poster did. I think leaving the battery out so it resets is the primary issue. I did both the on button in case. Yeah I know it don't make sense but I did it.
It is now working. It booted up and I am playing a CD in it.
My other laptop basically in direcly was stolen. Well not quite. I loaned it to my son and the car he had it in got impounded. I had my info on it so it could be returned but it was never retruned. I would like it back as it was realiable but it had the same issue to turn on at one point. Battery taken out fixed it.
I don't think I am going to do any more bios updates on it. I hope there is no more of them. I am not sure if it will shut off and power up right but since it is working now for the last five minutes It is ok. I am playing a CD on it.
thanks to the poster of this thread. You save me and my laptop. I love it.
I did read bad reviews of it as well as good. It is companies are doing anything to make a profit. It is why I stand for the resource based economy where planned obsolence will be history.
HUGS TO YOU GUYS.

Msi 970a-g46 - BIOS update got interrupted, screen is now perma black

So recently my computer has started having issues where it will just freeze out of nowhere leaving me only with sound, no mouse, no keyboard, i believe a still image on the screen (cant tell due to the mouse/keyboard).
Either way, so i figured i would go about and update all of my drivers, while updating my BIOS drivers, my computer had one of these freezes and i was careless enough to hit the restart button...
So now whenever i try and boot my computer, i am left with a pure black screen, and nothing else...
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Piers.

Try a battery removed CMOS clear and reset. The freeze may have been RAM, PSU, VGA related. A BIOS update is firmware, etc., no drivers involved. A list of system components may be of help in the troubleshooting process;
>> Posting Guide <<
So after doing that, i plugged it back in, and got a long squealing beep tone so i immediately unplugged it... im also a huge retard, and powered it on while i had the jumpers on clear data... i feel retarded and i hope i didn't just break my motherboard even more... D':

Pls note that bios v2 can be updated only if you using Windows 8. Otherway update will fail, and your mobo is "bricked"

as for overclocking, i haven't done any of that
