E540 After BIOS update the computer wont start

Hi!
After I did an BIOS update from windows the computer wont start. Only the green FN key and the red "i" in the word ThinkPad lights up!
I can't access BIOS.
Tried tho remove the small CMOS battery for an minute

If these long boot symptoms, following the BIOS update occur, multiple customers have reported success in resolving them  by disabling Intel AMT and setting the security chip, TPM, as active in the BIOS.
Steps to disable Intel AMT and enable TPM settings as below.
Boot into BIOS
Select Config
Select Intel AMT
Press Enter key on Intel AMT Control and select Disable
Press ESC twice
Select Security
Select Security chip and select Enable
Press F10 and click Yes.

  • Bios update failed- computer wont start

    Hi. Yesterday my computer automatically updated the newest bios update from hp. Everything was working ok up until the point the computer restarted itself.
    Now I just get a black screen and the keyboard command windows+B doesn't work. I have tried quite a few things like recovering the bios via usb after removing the hard drive but that doesn't work either. I think i may have bricked the bios.
    Any ideas on what to do?

  • Upgraded bios, now the pc wont start

    Just to get it out of the way, here are my specs:
    OS: Windows 7 64bit
    PSU: Corsair TX V2 650W PSU
    Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD65 B3, Socket-1155
    CPU: Intel Core i5 Quad Processor i5-2500K
    Ram: Kingston ValueR. DDR3 1333MHz 8GB, CL9
    GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti 1GB PhysX
    HD: Western Digital Caviar® Blue 1TB
    CD/DVD: Sony Optiarc DVD±RW Burner, AD-5260S
    Bios: The one on the board's download page, was 1.9 upgraded to 1.C
    So anyway, as the thread name states i upgraded the bios. I did this through the liveupdate program (which i now after googling a bit, understand as something dumb to do) because it said that there was a new version ready.
    The computer was running splendid before this, but after the bios update finished (i didn't see any errors) and it rebooted the black screen at startup (that states bios version etc.) stated "Harddisk not found!".
    This seemed odd, haden't seen this before.
    Anyway, i proceeded to the bios config screen and loaded the optimized defaults. Then i saved & exited and when the pc came to the "starting windows" screen(where the "orbs" fly towards eachother) my keyboard (which has led lights) turned black and 3 secs after that the computer reboots.
    It goes on like that until i shut it off. Windows also asked if i wanted to do a repair, which i did, but didn't help at all.
    The bios does find the harddisk in the config menus, so i don't really know whats going on.
    I tried to reinstall the former bios, but that didn't help either.
    So, i'm kind of stuck on what to do here.
    Any idea what i could try?
    Thanks for all answers.

    Hey again, thanks sooo much for the answers.
    I went into the bios and changed the sata options to AHCI instead of IDE which it was currently at.
    And now it works perfectly fine, thanks again for the answer and I'm sorry for the trouble.
    I won't update the bios again unless it updates something i specifically need, it's just that having everything up to date seemed like a good idea :\
    Well, anyhow.. thanks again.

  • Satellite L - After BIOS update it won't start up again

    I just got an email saying there was a BIOS update for my laptop. It started to install but my computer shut down and won't start back up
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
    The update was: ACPI Flash BIOS version 1.90 for Sat/Sat Pro L355D/L305D (PSLE0U, PSLC0/1U)

    Hello
    And what Satellite notebook you have exactly? Is your notebook designed for this update or is it another model?
    After a failed BIOS update you can try this workaround: Remove the AC/DC adaptor and battery then wait one hour. After this connect the AC/DC adaptor and battery again. Now try to start the notebook again.
    If the notebook doesnt start you need help from a notebook technician. Therefore contact the nearest authorized service provider. They can help and will try to reflash the ROM module I think or the mainboard must be exchanged.

  • Satellite P500 - After BIOS update the number pad isn't working anymore

    I just got a Satellite P500 and am running Windows 7. I downloaded all of the latest drivers and updated the system bios to version 1.70 (from Toshiba's support website). Now, my number pad on the keyboard is not working.
    The numlock light is on and when I hit the "6" key on the number pad, it turns the light on/off but the behavior of the other keys does not change whether it is on or off. The "-" key enters a "6" but none of the other keys (except "enter" does anything.
    I removed the keyboard driver and restarted to re-install the keyboard driver but that had not effect. The keyboard did work for a few days after I flashed the bios but seems to have stopped since I started using a USB mouse. I tried uninstalling the USB mouse driver but that did not do anything either (it was a Logitech driver).
    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

    I'm having this exact same issue, Did the BIOS update, which fixed the problem for Vista X64, formatted the machine to windows 7, Number pad keys except 6 and - Register as the Fn Button, Bringing up the function shortcuts display when pressed in windows, recovered from 7 to Vista X64 using Built in recovery partition, Problem still exactly the same. i have reset BIOS to defaults twice now, which has not resolved the issue. the next step will be to reflash the bios with the update again to see if this will fix the issue as it did once before. Laptop Model P500/025 Or Part number PSPE8A-025002
    *EDIT: I reflashed the BIOS with 1.70 Again and the number pad is back to normal. Seems like an extreme fix for a silly problem. Every time you format you have to Reflash your bios, risky no?*

  • Satellite L300-26K - After BIOS update the touchpad doesn't work anymore

    Hi,
    like recommended by tempro, I updated BIOS from ver.2.1 to 2.2 (windows-Version). After rebooting, touchpad incl. tips doesnt work anymore. In bios touchpad is enabled, in system it says unit is working properly. FN/F9 makes no effect. Reinstalling synaptics drivers - no effect - still dead.
    Satellite L300-26K
    Using Vista 32bit home
    How can I restore BIOS to 2.1 again? (if i try the windows-bios utility from V2.1 it says it is still installed - so I cannot downgrade by this easy way)
    Please help - I need my notebook without external mouse (this works)
    yours

    Hi enigmo,
    I cant imagine that this happened due the BIOS update. Have you tried reinstalling Windows by using Toshiba recovery disk?
    This BIOS downgrade can only be done from an authorized service provider. The technicians can install every version because they have such special tools to make a downgrade.
    On the Toshiba website you can find a list of them. Just give the guys and ask for that. They will help you! :)

  • Satellite L - After BIOS update the screen is black

    Hello,
    I made a BIOS update on my Windows 7 64 bit and then the OS get frozen. After I restarted the laptop, there is only black and nothing appears on the laptop.
    What can I do?

    Hi
    Have you tried to remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor? You should test this and after one hour you can connect both devices again.
    In worst case you need help from an authorized service provider. The technicians can try to reflash the ROM module.
    Sorry, but I think in this case you can do nothing.

  • After Firefox updated, the computer locked up when I turned on the HP Scanjet G4050. Why?

    Firefox seemed to be working fine, but when I turned on the scanner, the screen locked. I couldn't do a "force quit". The only solution was unplugging. I tried this twice after restarting and the same thing happened. Each time I turned off the scanner before restarting. Once, I left the scanner on after unplugging the computer. Then, when Firefox was launched it locked up.

    Matt answered my question in another Discussion area.
    Thanks Matt!

  • After BIOS update DVD driver do not read DVDs anymore - Sat A80

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A80-131 and after bios update (last version 2.5) by windows procedure update, my DVD drive do not read DVD medias anymore. It is possible to read CD medias, but not DVD one.
    Can I reinstall the old bios? Can I reinstall the firmware?
    Thanks
    Ronai Lisboa

    Hi Ronai
    Like Jimi has said in the posting above. It's very unusual that after BIOS updating the DVD drive hasn't read the DVDs.
    Furthermore it's not advisable to use any 3rd party applications to DOWNGRADE the BIOS. Usually only the ASP can downgrade the BIOS. Such procedures are very serious and the wrong procedure can damage the motherboard.
    However, it's nice that you have solved the problem and that the drive works properly.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • After BIOS update Satellite L350-172 doesn't start anymore

    Satellite L350-172 Bios-Update from bios-20090203164614 to bios-201002250
    I just updatet the BIOS of my notebook from 1.60 to 2,20. Now the Notebook doesn't start any longer.
    "It was stopped for reason not to damage the Computer" - blue schreen.
    How can I downgrade the bios again? Or - what have I to change in the bios-settings?

    Hi schuwe,
    Im a little bit confused about your posting. How do you tell your BIOS not to restart?
    Anyway, after BIOS update you should load the default settings in BIOS.
    Did you choose the right BIOS especially for your model?

  • X301 won't start after BIOS update

    Hi all:
    Well I've had my new x301 for about 2 months and it's given me nothing but troubles....Recently I found out my laptop won't come back on from hibernation (when you close the screen and open it up). So I downloaded and installed the lastest updates from Lenovo (including the recent BIOS update), restart computer, only to find out it doesn't start up anymore...black screen, thinkadvantage blue botton doesn't light up, no harddrive activity, only light on is battery and power...
    I'm thinking maybe something went wrong with the BIOS update. Is there anything I can do to fix it (besides shipping this thing to a repair center which is a big hassle, or paying $200 for an on-site tech that might or might not solve the problem).
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hello all
    I just updated my X301 (2776LEG) with the 3.12-1.05 bios. Now my laptop won't start up when running on battery, it powers on for a short while and powers off again. This cycling keeps on going (after 30min I switched it off!) but as soon as i connect the power adapter it boots fine. Seems like this bios update f****ed up the battery power part of the computer....
    I tried the bios battery trick but it only worked on the first boot and after that the same problem is present.
    I have added 2gigs extra memory and a ultrabay battery and it has been working 100% for about a year now. This error started right after the bios update...
    Thought that a reflash of the bios would solve the problem but i cannot reflash the bios with the same bios version...
    Any ideas ?
    Kind regards
    Tommy

  • Z50-75, wont boot after bios update

    Hi to all!
    I just baught Z50-75 with AMD FX7500, 8GB Ram and FreeDOS. I installed Windows 8.1 Pro, and they pulled some drivers during the installation, and I went to Lenovo sight and downloaded all the rest (graphics, camera, etc.), after each installation the computer restarted normally and all was O.K. The last drivers that I saw on the site were BIOS drivers, and I downloaded those to and it started the installation after which it said:"The system will now restart for changes to make effect", and it did, but, it would not boot up after that, all it did was show me this on the screen:
    And I tried both of the options (the second one with the Windows CD inside), but it just stays where it is, no effect.
    I can enter the bios and change the settings, but none of them seem to work because this is the maximum where it will go, the only difference is when I change from AHCI to Compatible mode, it restarts and than I have a blank screen, I have to use the One button Recovery to get back to this one from the picture above...
    I would appriciate any kond of help, please give me some advice.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.
