BIOS update problem with Satellite A200

I installed recently the Toshiba Alerts Software - through it I received an alert to install a software for improving my Satellite A200 1GH.
After installing this software I probably updated the BIOS and now I could not start the computer because it is asking for a password already from the bios.
I did not managed any password before.
Please help me solve the problem!!!! Is there a possibility of loosing information with this situation???

Hi there,
no you cannot loose any information, but in your case I would check for a NEWER BIOS version for your system because there are some threads were other users had the same problem.
A user posted that a NEWER version was released and the problem was fixed, but you must check for it here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Otherwise it would be necessary to bring the machine to an authorized service partner. If you need a link to find the nearest one in your country:

BIOS update problem with satellite C660

I have a satellite C660, and was sent a ' ''BIOS update C660 Version 1.80'', but when I try and install it this message comes up:
''THE PROGEAM WILL BE CLOSED
There is an erroroccured,please check the below items.
BIOS version above 180
Battery capacity more than 10%
AC is attached''
The AC is attached and there is also plenty of battery power, so what more can I do ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Please post your full model number found on the bottom of your lap top. Does any one ever read any of the messages posted before posting a new message??
Dokie!!
IMHO if your not having a problem, you don't need to up date the BIOS. That is a very serious procedure and can end in a bricked PC if not done exactly right.
Dokie!!
I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.

BIOS updating issue on Satellite 3000 -X11

Hello,
I found a lot of people complaining of this same issue.
I found no solution posted. Most threads (now locked) ended with people saying "Don't update your bios if it is running okay"
This computer is not running okay and I would like to update the BIOS.
The issue is that the bios update says it failed due to the update not being for this model of computer.
The laptop is a Satellite 3000-X11. I have downloaded the v1.6 BIOS update for the Satellite 3000-X11
So I am not sure why it makes this complaint.
Please advise if there is something more I can do here.
Also please know the BIOS update procedure I followed was exactly per the instructions.
Thanks,
Jonathan

(sorry about the name change. Somehow ended up with two profiles when I accessed the forums via a different country site)
As per my original post... the computer does NOT run okay.
That is why I wish to try updating the BIOS.
It has issues with it not starting or starting but with a screen that is so dimmed it looks blank. Looking really hard at it I can see it is not blank, just VERY VERY dim.
I wish to update the BIOS just in case that fixes things.
The BIOS update complains that the PC is not the right model for this update, when it is the right model.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Same here and this is driving me crazy. I can buy, but can't upgrade. Grrr.

FYI: MS-7125 BIOS has problem with Hard Drives withNative Command Queuing (NCQ)

For those the have messed my two treads on which both ended up being cause by K8N Neo4 BIOS problem with HD's with NCQ.
Will wonders never cease? MSI Support finally conceded the BIOS has a problem with Hard Drives with NCQ and they have forwarded the problem to their programming department.
However, do not look for any results for above two weeks.

The problem that this thread has been trying to follow is the incapability of the nVidia RAID Controller with Serial ATA Type 2.5 drives. I know the threads has been hard to follow and part of that is because when I started the thread I had what appeared to be three totally un related problems, but all three were traced down the common problem of the incapability of RAID Controller with Serial ATA Type 2.5 drives.
The title of this thread is MS-7125 BIOS has problem with Hard Drives with Native Command Queuing(NCQ). The statement was true at the time it was written and has nothing to do with memory problems.
Sense the thread was started MSI has fixed the BIOS part of the problem, but we have sense learned the nVidia RAID Controller Command software and its driver has problems too. I have been working MSI Support, they have been using me to test pre-beta BIOS and Drivers soon. Of the testing I have done the pre-beta BIOS worked and the Pre-beta 32-bit driver works. I am assuming that the latest BIOS V1.B had as part of it included fixes was the needed fixes for working with the nVidia RAID Controller as I have test the pre-beta RAID Driver with BIOS Version V1.B as the Raid array function fine windows XP Pro 32-bit Edition. As I have had no communications with MSI support of over a week now I am hoping for a release of 32-bit and 64-bit RAID Drivers. But, nobody should get the hopes up, because through other backdoor sources nVidia is having a hell of a time. One reason for this I heard is that the nVidia RAID Controller is fully software, no hardware other than the electrical drive interfaces. Their problem started when they tried using the old 32-bit code Controller with new 64-bit hardware drivers and now they are having to totally rewrite the controller core in 64-bit code. But, knowing my source, it may all be fiction.
The RAID Array you say is up and running, are the drives full specification SATA 2.5 in other words do the both have 3Gb/s speed and NCQ. If you send me the full part numbers I will check the specifications a get back to you. Because if you have nVidia RAID 0 Array you working you will be the first to have done it and there about 230 people around the world that would like to know how you did it, even MSI, who's pre-beta nVidia RAID Drivers that will work with BIOS V1.B for 32-bit Windows only and nothing for Windows XP 64, would like to know.

BIOS Update 6.70 problem with Satellite Pro C850-172

I have two problems with updating the BIOS (the 1st is more important then the 2nd one):
1. While trying to install BIOS Update 6.70-WIN (29/11/13) it says that:
"The version of ROM file is the same as that of BIOS"
and it stops. In the DOS window it shows one phrase:
"NOT Windows 8 Platform, using Windows 7 update...".
I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit system but recently there has been major automatic update done to it.
I got lost. Is there anything I can do to update BIOS?
2. Earlier it says that Flash process will be terminated and I need to "contact OEM BIOS engineer to add the NV storage location by HISII interface". But if I want to risk I can continue etc.
Previously I took the risk and updating went well.
But is there possibility to contact OEM BIOS engieneer?

Hi
>While trying to install BIOS Update 6.70-WIN (29/11/13) it says that:
>"The version of ROM file is the same as that of BIOS"
What is the present BIOS version which is available on your notebook?
In case the BIOS is already up to date, the BIOS flash procedure will be interrupted.
>"NOT Windows 8 Platform, using Windows 7 update...".
Im not quite sure about the meaning of this information but it looks like the BIOS update was released for Windows 8 system and probably its required to upgrade the system from Windows 7 to Windows 8 in order to be able to flash the BIOS
By the way: why you want to update the BIOS? Just because new version is available?
Please note that BIOS update does not improve the notebook performance but fixes some issues. In case your notebook runs properly, the BIOS update is not very important

Satellite A660 - BIOS Update Problem

Hi
I have a Satellite A660 and my battery doesn't want to charge...it sticks to 0% and when I unplug the cord, the computer shuts down. After many computers restarting and failing finally understood what the problem was. The problem was my BIOS which is Version 1.20.
When I try to install the BIOS, I always get these three errors:
BIOS Version Above 2.00
Battery Capacity more than 20%
AC is attached
Thanks for your answers.

Hi again
It seems your model is built for Canada. I could find it on the Canadian Toshiba site.
No information about revisions information of the BIOS in your model was provided though.
However, as it seems many hardware platforms are similar, however NOT always compatible, I looked at the US web which more generously provides revision information for the BIOSes and I found the BIOS which probably is similar or related to your BIOS, and there are in fact some battery-related fixes.
Have a look here: Link: [http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2726536& rpn=PSAW3U&modelFilter=A660-BT2G22&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768663#]
So this is a tricky case.
You may need to update to solve a problem with the battery but the update refuses because the battery does not have the proper energy level.
I suggest You ask your ASP / support for help with this!

Satellite Pro L300 BIOS update problem

Hi
I've an Satellite Pro L300 (PSLBHE).
I downloaded the new bios file and started the upgrade. A window appeared and showed the old and new bios version (v1.70 -> v2.20). About in 1 min. my laptop screen turned to black but HDD green light flashed and didn't anything about 15 mins. After I pushed the power button and the laptop shutdown. Now if I push the power button nothing happen just blank (black) screen and the HDD flashing light.
What's the problem? What can I do? Please help me.
gjon

Problem is that BIOS update is screwed up now. Obviously BIOS update was interrupted and now the BIOS chip is damaged.
What you can do now?
Unfortunately not much. What you need is professional help so I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help. Sorry.

Satellite M30-404 BIOS update problem

Hi ppl
I have problem with bios update, my notebook is 1.30 bios ver. and ill try update to 1.60 ver. over windows update becauseI don?t have floppy disk for traditional update. But dont work 4 me. Plz help ? Im try to update on 1.20 ver., reading in BIOS manual, but nothing hapend.
Sry ppl for bad english :)

Hi
if You want to upgrade the BIOS from Windows, one critera have to be met.
You have to have Common Modules installed in Your system. If Your windows is the Toshiba factory installation then Common modules should be installed.
If not, please make sure You have it. You can find this software on the Tools & Utilities CD.
If all fail, you can use the traditional BIOS update but write it as a boot track on a CD. (I will not go into detail on how to create a bootable CD).

Satellite L300 BIOS update problem: "That BIOS is not for your notebook PC"

I got Satellite L300 notebook and I want to update it's BIOS (current v1.50), so I've downloaded bios update v1.60-WIN and when I run extracted PS10160M.exe file - I get a message that "That BIOS is not for your notebook PC".
What I'm I doing wrong?
ps: that BIOS update was automatically suggested after registration on Toshiba website via serial number.
UPD: seems like autosuggestion fail: Manual search shows that 1.60-win bios update not suitable for Satellite L300 PSLBCE model. :-(

Did you download the BIOS for the PSLBCE model?
You cannot use the BIOS from other L300 models, for example PSLB0E.
If you installed Windows yourself using a generic Windows Disc, you will need to install the Value Added Package from the Toshiba website. The BIOS Update requires the TVAP package to detect the machine properly.

BIOS update fails on Satellite P100-429

Ive had a bad flash on my Satellite P100-429.
The utility crashed which left me with a bookend. Not happy
Ive created a floppy crisis recovery disk & bought a USB floppy drive after much hunting the internet for info.
Problem is I need verification on the exact key combination for my laptop to envoke crisis recovery mode.
On power up I have usual symptoms, flash of LEDs, power to CD-rom, power click of floppy drive etc...
I just need to verify correct sequence for key combinations.
Can anyone help?
Win-f, win-b, fn-f, fn-b, win-esc, fn-escape doesnt seem to work for me
How long to wait for floppy to start after combination etc?
Help!

Hi
I dont have experience with these BIOS recovery tools because in my opinion its a little bit too risky. This is no official way to recover a BIOS and I dont want to destroy the whole ROM module.
In my opinion if a BIOS update wasnt successful, you should go to an authorized service provider. Contact a notebook technician and explain your situation. The technician can try to reflash it and they have more experience. I think this shouldnt be a problem to contact one. ;)
Good luck!

Require BIOS 1.8 for Satellite A200-13M (PSAE6) - Fan activity

Hi y'all,
I recently updated my Satellite A200-13M (PSAE6) with bios 2.20-Win Vista.
I am experiencing a higher fan activity and as a consequence, a lot more noise!
The fan now activates at 47-48C wich is lower than previously (~50C)!
I would like to downgrade to the previous bios version which turned out to be smoother!
Could anyone help me get the 1.8-Win vista version.
What are the key changes from v1.8 to v2.2 except the more agressive fan control?
Kind regards.
Maxime

Hi Maxime
In my opinion the cooling modules run stronger and faster to prevent the internal hardware i.e. GPU and CPU from overheating.
For me it looks like the fan table which is stored in the BIOS was updated and therefore the fans rotate faster due to the reason mentioned above
The Toshiba driver page offers only the newest BIOS updates the older BIOS versions are not available on the website and I think you needed to contact your local ASP to get an earlier BIOS.
Unfortunately, I dont see any other possibilities to get an older, different BISO version for you notebook series.

MSI z77a GD80 PCI-e running at 8x and Bios update problem

Hi guys, first of all, sorry for my bad English, this is also my first topic, i recently bought a new PC, the spec is:
i7 3770k @4,3ghz
Corsair H80
MSI z77a GD80 bios 1.2
GTX 680 lightning
8gb ddr3 1600mhz cas9 G.Skill
1TB HDD WD Caviar Black
Asus xonar DX
The problem is, since the first bios, i can't run my PCI-E at 16x, i know when my card is idle the PCI-E goes to 1.1@4x , but when it's in use, it turns to PCI-E 3.0@8x , I'm also waiting for bios updates to check if it solves my problem, but when i try to download the new version 1.3, the download fails ( I'm trying to download with Live update 5 )m is there somebody that can help me solve this problem pls?
I've tried until now:
Replace the card into the first PCI-E slot again
Clear the PCI-E slot
Update to bios 1.1 and 1.2 ( 1.3 is not even downloading )
Set PCI Gen 3 from Auto to disable, and it keeps running with PCI-E 3.0@8x
Thx for any help !

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 18-November-12, 16:22:21
As per the manual, the VGA must be in the primary slot to run 16X. BIOS setting for graphics 3.0 should be set to Auto.
Do not use Live Update for BIOS updates. Too many borked boards are the result. Use the forum's USB method;
>> Forum Flash Method <<
Just curious. If I installed Add-on card that run at PCI-E 4X on 3rd slot (2nd slot is empty) what's configuration will apply ?
