No. The computer just went to the warranty plan and the BIOS was been replated. It is an HP problem during the update process

System Crash During Bios Update

I have a HP TouchSmart 600-1055 All-in-One. While I was performing a bios update, the system crashed. Now, I can't boot the PC up. It doesn't even show that blue HP boot up screen and keep beeping. It's out of warranty already. What can I do?

Hi
I think you were trying to update bios via windows mode.. !
try removing battery from your motherboard and also reset bios via jumper settings..
or
Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 20 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-power on

Satellite Pro L100 - Crash during Bios update

Hi
I own a Satellite Pro L100 (PSLA4E)
From the Toshiba site I downloaded the BIOS update. Whilst installing it I read that it needed power cable plugged in. Before I could cancel it to get the cable it had started and then froze! The computer stopped working and so I turned it off! Since then I have read that, that was a very big mistake!
When turning it on the fan turns on and I can hear the cd drive spinning etc. After 15 seconds, which the screen is blank, the computer starts beeping!
Is there any way of fixing this?
Thanks very much
Rich

Hi Richard
Looks not good buddy according to your description something went wrong during the update procedure and now the ROM module was not flashed correctly.
Maybe you area lucky man and the motherboard is not damage but only the Rom module must be flashed again.
Unfortunately, this must be done by ASP technician. You will have to contact the ASP in your country for a help.
Good luck and have a nice day

Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message.

Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

I updated my ipod and my computer crashed during the update now the apps that come with the ipod such as the app store and itunes are not on my ipod how do i fix this

Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

Computer crashed during software update

Currently using OS X Lion, started the latest software update and computer crashed during the update. I forced the computer to turn off, but when I turn it on, it returns to the same "crashed" condition (grey screen with an apple logo in the center, plus the time symbol spinning).
Greatly appreciate if anyone can help me. Thanks!

Back up all data, then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup) and reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

IPhone 4 crashed during app update, apps are blank

I had 24 app updates in the app store, tried to update through the phone. It crashed during the update, and now all the to-be-updated apps are showing up with a white generic logo and 'waiting...' message, updates do not go through. The app store still shows 24 updates, but when I go into that page it just spins. I have rebooted twice. I will not be close to my phone backup until tomorrow. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Crash during firmware update

I just tried to update my iPod Shuffle. I ran iPod Updater, it said "Update needed" and I clicked update button. In the middle of the update, Windows crashed and the iPod seems to be dead now. It isn't recognized by Windows anymore and iPod updater just says "Plug in the iPod for update" and when I plug it in, nothing happens. Even when I press the battery button, nothing happens (and I'm sure the battery isn't empty becasue before the incident, when I pressed the battery button, it was showing green). I tried everything: reseting the iPod, restarting computer, reinstalling software and nothing is helping.
I suspect that the firmware of the device got fried during the update procedure (since the update was aborted halfway because of crash). Is there any way to revive the device (reflashing the firmware somehow) than taking it to service?
Shuffle Windows XP Pro
Windows XP Pro
Windows XP Pro

My problem is the same.. If i connect my ipod shuffle on the USB port(s) my PC can't recognize it and in "My Computer" folder there is new device called "Removible Disk (F:)" but I can't open or format it.. I hope in a fast solution, 'cause i can't live without music! :P

Dell XPS12 messed up during BIOS update

Hi all, yesterday I tried to update my Dell XPS12 (9Q33 mid 2013) BIOS to the last version (A08). During the installation, the laptop remained stuck in "EC programming" at 50%..I waited two hours but nothing changed and my PC was unusable: completely blocked, no keyboard,no touch and even the windows clock was blocked.
So, as I read in a lot of BIOS-related threads, I removed the AC adaptor and let it discharge completely..some users resolved with this workaround, and their PC's worked well after.
Unfortunately, my XPS12 doesn't want to power up anymore..I also tried to put the .hdr file of the BIOS in a USB stick and tried to power up with "end" button pressed. It powers up and the fans are working, but nothing happens then..Am I using the wrong procedure to repair the BIOS?
Thanks in advance,
Fabio

thanks for your response.
*) I can connect the charger to the laptop, and the laptop charger stays ON. I can't say nothing about the system leds, because I can't turn on the laptop due to the corrupted BIOS.
*) Again, I can't power it on so I don't hear any beep.
*) Same as above, I can't toggle anything because I can't power it on. The only thing I can do is the procedure to Re-install the bios. I insert a USB stick with some BIOS files, then I keep pressed "end" button and then I insert the charging cable. In this mode the laptop powers on with the power led blinking fast, but nothing happens then. I think I'm using the wrong files to re-flash the BIOS, can you provide me the right How-to? probably it can be the problem, because the laptop was messed up during a freeze in the BIOS update in Windows, as i wrote in the first post.
thanks,
Fabio

During BIOS update Satellite Pro A60 went down and hasn't started

Hello everyone,
I have a Satellite Pro A60 and I updated the bios. Halfway the update, my laptop went down and hasn´t started since. All it does is give a couple of beeps (trying to tell me the bios is corrupted, I suppose) and shuts itself off again.
Tried to start with the (~) key pressed down (a tip I got from a friend), but no succes.
I currently live in a country where there is no Toshiba dealer available and I rather not ship the laptop to have it repaired.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This sounds not good.
If during the POST the BIOS detects a problem it will normally display a visual error message on the monitor explaining what the problem is. However, if a problem is detected before the BIOS initializes the video card or a video card is not present or not detected then the BIOS will play several BEEPS through the speaker to let you know there is a problem.
Depending on the type of the BIOS you have the BIOS may play beeps in a specific pattern to indicate what the problem is, or play the same beep a number of times indicating the problem.
In your case its possible that you have used a wrong BIOS or a wrong BIOS procedure. Both can damage the motherboard.
To prevent such damages and any mistakes Toshiba has published the FAQ document.
How to update the BIOS on most units!
This you should read before doing any BIOS updates!
Unfortunately I dont think that you can solve it yourself. I think you should ask the ASP for help.

DV6500 rebooted during bios update. No Bios or Post screen. Blinking CapsLock

DV6500 (RM098AV)
I downloaded the latest bios and started the install. During the install the screen all of a sudden went black, fan went into high speed mode, all LEDS solid except for a blinking caps lock light. The Caps lock is blinking at a steady rate, no pauses ect. I've tried doing a hard reset with no power or battery holding down the power button. I've removed the CMOS battery, let sit, still nothing. I've tried holding down FN+B and Win+B while adding power with no result.
When I plug the power in with no battery the laptop won't even power on. I hear a slight clicking sound while he power button kinda flashes. This happens over and over until I add the batter. Once the battery is added then it powers to a black screen (no flicker or anything) solid LEDs except for the flashing caps lock.
ANY ideas at all?? or anyone else with the same situation??
HELP!

Did this ever get resolved, b/c this just happened to my dv6565ca in attempting to update to the current BIOS via Windows 7. Everything blanked during the BIOS erase/write procedure and now the computer only boots with the battery in, and there is nothing but a blank screen, the fan running on high, and the steady blinking of the Caps Lock button. I computer will not start w/o the battery as per the hard reset guide from HP.
I have been doing BIOS updates successfully for many moons, and am intimately familiar with the procedures and cautions, and have never had anything brick on me like this. What is going on HP ?

Froze during BIOS Update

Lenovo 3000 n200 0769 BRG
As per the title my laptop froze during a bios update, I now have a €300 paper weight.
When turning on the fan spins, the cd tray works, but the screen stays blank and only a single power light stays on. I tried starting the machine with no RAM inserted to see if the bios would beep. It didnt.
I think i need to reset the CMOS and in another thread there were instructions as follows " two exposed metal traces labelled CLRP1. You need to short those traces together for a few seconds."
I can get to the traces CLRP1, but it doesnt work.
Could someone please verify how to short those? What do you actually do?
I lightly pushed a flat head Metal screwdriver on the traces, also tried a paperclip,other screwdrives, and basically everything metal.
Could someone clarify what needs to be done? Thanks so much

If the bios is corrupted, yes, it may be bricked.
Search the web and these forums for "phoenix bios recovery"
there may be some hope. I have never tried any of the solutions
I have found about a Bios recovery disk.
The solution for a bios "hard reset" on my N100 was to dis-assemble
it to the point where I could short the leads of the bios backup battery
for about 5 seconds. The bios on mine was not corrupted, though.
Find the Hardware Maintenance Manual for your laptop model HERE
and look for how to remove the top cover. The battery is probably
on the bottom of the motherboard. A bit tedious and complicated
if you are doing something like this for the first time.
