How to enter BIOS on Satellite Pro NB10-A-100?

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro NB10-A-100 laptop and I want to enter to BIOS configuration and I can't.
What is the button combination to get in?
Thanks in advance.

Perform a complete shutdown in Windows 8 - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
Restart your machine and try to use F2 or F12. If you use F12 there should be option to enter notebook setup settings.
Please test it and send some feedback.

Cannot update BIOS on Satellite Pro C

Hi
Tried to update my bios to version 1.90 but failed because of following message:
Message in Window "Installing UEFI winflash 0.02"
There is an error occured, please check below items.
Bio Version above 190.
Battery capacity more than 10%.

Hi
I have no idea what notebook or system you are using but according to the error message you have used wrong BIOS.
The error message BIOS version above 1.90 means that your notebook is already flashed with a higher and newer version.

Satellite Pro 6000: Cannot find correct WLAN driver

Hi,
I have re-installed Windows Xp on my notebook Satellite Pro 6000. All is working except for the wireless connectivity.
When looking in the device manager, I see that the WLAN driver has not (or incorrectly) been installed.
So looked at the Toshiba site for the corresponding drivers, but I am not able to find the correct one. I did found some drivers, which seems to be the one, but unfortunately after installing the drivers, the wireless connectivity is still not available.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Robert

Hi
I dont believe that you cannot install the Wlan driver.
Go to the device manger and find out which Wlan card was installed. (check properties)
If the WLan card is placed under network adapters so the driver was installed properly.
But if you see a unknown device in device manager so you need the WLan driver.
Then download the WLan driver from the Toshiba site. Be sure that you use the right driver for the right OS!
You can try firstly to uninstall the old driver and then to install the new one.

Satellite C660-2C3: Cannot enter BIOS

Hello,
I enabled the Quick Boot Function which skips the Logos and only boots from HDD, but now I need to install a 32bit Windows for School, but I can't enter or reset the Bios.
I tried every button combination I can think of.
Is there any way to remove this feature again without taking it apart?
The existing Windows is not the Original one, so no toshiba software is installed.
Thanks for help.

HI
I have a similiar problem with my toshiba C660.
I want to view the S.M.A.R.T. menu on the hard drive , but actualy i cannot enter BIOS to change HDD Controller. He is curently saved as "AHCI" and i cannot enter BIOS to change it.

If i wrong , pls tell me where?!
Regards (sorry for my poor english)

Maximum HDD size for Satellite Pro 6000?

Hi, I am trying to install a 60 GB HD, but it formats, and it stops at Windows XP Pro instalation.
Is there a limit to HD size?
Thanx,
Ronaldo

Hi,
does it stop without any error message? If not then try another copy of WinXP since the Satellite Pro 6000 shouldnt have problems with that harddrive. I had 2 years a similar machine and I also had a 60GB Toshiba HDD installed. It worked like a charm, so I cannot imagine that the harddrive could be the problem.
Cheers

Satellite Pro 6000 doesn't boot anymore

Hi all,
I have a Satellite Pro 6000 that is quite old, but until yesterday it was working fine. Today, it won't start anymore. The indicator LEDs are on (220v:green/power:green/battery:orange) but the BIOS or OS won't start. Fan doesn't work either. The FN key seems to work - if I press it, the indicator below F11 lights up. If I press and hold the power button the power indicator LED goes off.
I've removed the battery to see if that might help, but it basically gives the save (non)result.
Is there any way to do a hard reset? Or is it curtains for this laptop?
Like to hear your thoughts on this one.
JP

Hi
Try to disconnect the AC adaptor and remove the battery a leave the notebook for a while. Wait about 20-30 min, connect all parts again and try to boot up.
If it will not work I assume the notebook hardware malfunctions Maybe its a motherboard fault (power supply electronic) or CPU.
Who knows. Without any hardware tests its not easy to find out what device malfunctions

Fn Key is disabled on boot - Cannot enter bios

Hi there,
I'm running an x240 series machine running Windows 8.1 pro. I need to enter bios. I have tried butting it from PC settings, but there is no uefi option or any menu or boot menu option.
Hence, the only option was to enter via the traditional route. However, the moment I restart the machine, the fn key green light immediately lights up, effectively locking the button. When I interrupt the normal startup process via the "enter" key, I cannot enter bios via the fn + 1 key since the fn key is disabled or locked.
Is there a reason or a solution to enable the fn key?
Update: Felt like a complete moron. The F1 label was so small on the keyboard that I missed it. Just press the mute option. You will see a tiny F1 label on it.

There is also a way to access UEFI BIOS through Windows 8.1, though it's buried pretty deep.
Go to >PC Settings
>Update and Recovery (it's at the very bottom)
>Recovery (again, at the bottom. the next step shuts down you Windows session, so save your work)
   Click 'Restart now'
the OS shuts down and then displays some 'metro style' options.
   Click 'Troubleshoot'
then     'Advanced options'
then     'UEFI Firmware Settings'
then     'Restart'
then you hopefully will be presented with the options that you are looking for. (works on anything running UEFI Windows 8.1)
Have fun!

Windows 7 Stuck At BIOS Cannot Enter BIOS or Change Boot Media

My laptop has no problem before. Recently I try to install Windows XP. First attempt fail, so I change SATA at BIOS from AHCI to Compatible, success. However the partition that I want to install Windows XP to is not available.
So just to test I choose my Windows 7 partition. Since it want to format the partition, I cancel the installation. After restarting windows, it stuck at bios. I restart again and change SATA to AHCI. Restart, still stuck at bios. This time I cannot enter BIOS, recovery or change boot media. Assuming the boot sector has corrupt, will reseating the cmos battery will fix this problem. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi kiebloom,
Yes, you will need to boot without the HDD to try and access the BIOS again. If you're able to access the BIOS using this method, reload the BIOS defaults by pressing F9 then press F10 to save and exit.
From here, you can try to:
1. Re-insert the HDD and press the OneKey Recovery button to reinstall Windows 7
2. Create a recovery disc for Windows 7, format the HDD and downgrade to Windows XP
3. Dual-boot Windows 7 and Windows XP (see this guide)

Satellite Pro 6000: LED error message - What does it mean?

Hi,
I gad an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 6000. Sometimes, not after a periode, it turns off. I gad the Error code 'cause the DC IN LED blinks orange. The blinking rate is 1x long 3x short 1x long 2x short 1x long = 10001001 in bin = 91h (is this right?)
Now 91h ist the following error: 1R5-E1V voltage is not more than 1.275V when the computer is powered on. But what the hell this error means? What is 1R5-E1V?
Need help. Greetz

Hi
You have to read the code backwards!
10001001 = 1001 0001 = 91H

In my opinion there is something wrong with the electronic on the board.
Therefore you have to contact the Toshiba ASP for the help.

Satellite Pro 6000 will not boot or do anything

Hello,
my satellite pro 6000 stopped working all of a sudden.
Power led, battery, keyboard leds are on, but nothing happens, tried to remove battery,cd, hd and put them back, nothing seems wrong.
Also tried the backspace trick in case but did not do any good.
It just does not start at all.
Any ideas out there ?
Thanks
[Edited by: Forum Moderation]

Hi,
unfortunately all the leds are working fine, no blinking that could point out a problem.
I am afraid that the motherboard might be cooked, I have seen similar symptoms on the net, it seems like a know issue at toshiba.

What are compatible DVD-RWs drives with Satellite Pro 6000

Hi
Can any one tell me what dvd rw's is compatible withe the satellite pro 6000?

Hi
Its always hard to find any information about compatible drives because of the different master / slave and c-sel settings.
In my knowledge Toshiba user manuals dont provide such information. Ok, I dont know if all user manual dont provide this but I did not find such info in my user manual.
However. I have investigated a little bit a someone has suggested that Toshiba SD-R6372 dvd writer is compatible with Satellite Pro 6000/6100 units.
I found it on a very popular online auctioneers ;)

Cannot install WinXP on Satellite Pro A200 - No HDD

Hi,
Please can someone help me. I've just brought 52 Satellite Pro A200 laptops. They come with Vista pre-installed, but I want to wipe them and install Windows XP. However I have a big problem - when I put my XP CD in and boot from it and click Enter to continue, it tells me that the Installation cannot continue as Windows found no hard drives (although I can boot in Vista so I know the HDD are ok).
Thanks for looking,

I too had the HDD problem. Its because there are no drivers on the XP CD for SATA hard drives. What you have to do is use some free software called NLite and merge the SATA drivers with the files off the XP CD. (It really is ace). Available at
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/nLite.shtml
Read this page it tells you exactly how to do it.(
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Windows-XP-On-SATA-Without-a-Floppy-F6-47807.shtml). If I can manage it then anyone can. Using the NLite software you copy the contents of your XP CD to your hard drive. Then you download the SATA drivers (available from the tosh site), then you integrate the drivers with your XP CD files. Finally you create an ISO image and burn it to CD. When you then boot off your new CD and install XP, it detects the SATA drive. Hey Presto!!!

BIOS Update Satellite Pro L10

I downloaded a BIOS update for my Satellite PRO L10 notebook, when I try to install I receive the following message
The input file EW3I1A04.WPH cannot be found, a valid filename must be specified to continue.
Any advice appreciated
Regards,

Hello guys
Mochitas I don't have SP L10 but I would like to know how you make BIOS update. SP L10 is old notebook models and if there is something wrong Toshiba have had enough time to replace offered BIOS update. I cannot imagine there is something wrong.
Pavlaras if you open zip file you will see exe file and it is logic to use this file to start BIOS update. I really don't understand how you come to EW3I3A26.WPH file. If you are not familiar with BIOS update why you make such risk before picking up some info how to do this.
I must say that I believe you have damaged BIOS chip and because of that you cannot start your notebook. Sorry but only authorized service provider can help you.

Cannot enter BIOS (F2) w/Apple USB AluThin Keyboard --- Win XP w/NO PS2

Greetings,
I love my Apple aluminum thin USB wired keyboard with my Windows-based PC, but...
I'm d*mn frustrated.
I cannot enter my BIOS by pressing the F2 key at start up.
I also cannot press 'any key' when trying to boot from a disc.
The keyboard is unrecognizable to the PC until the Windows XP Pro OS loads, then it works perfectly, typing on it now.
The F2 button works as normal once XP Pro is loaded.
My mother board does not have any PS2 ports (it is an Intel DG33LT board). So I cannot plug in a PS2 based keyboard to enter the BIOS or boot from a disc.
I've read all about going into the BIOS and turning on the support of Legacy USB, etc. However, this is useless, as I cannot enter the BIOS in the first place.
I'm trying to upgrade my computer that I use primarily for producing my income via product design, 2 GB of RAM just doesn't cut it with Illustrator and Photoshop running at the same time.
I'd like to install Vista so it can support the 8GB of RAM I purchased. Can't boot from the DVD to install it.
Any suggestions?

Yes, easy solution.
I figured the obvious culprit was the keyboard itself. I was curious if there was a software fix, etc... rather than going to the store and dropping $20 on a keyboard just to access the BIOS/boot cd.
Well, I dropped the $20 on a junker keyboard, and it all works fine.
Also- do not correct my online etiquette.
