Equium A210-1AS - After BIOS update it becomes hot

Hey, wondering if anyone can help here ...
Currently have a Toshiba Equium A210-1AS with BIOS version 1.80 ver 1.00PARTTBL 4/8/2008.
Since the BIOS was updated some time ago to this version 1.80 the computer has become hot very quickly and therefore performance of the laptop has decreased.
I looked on the Toshiba support site and the only version upgrade to 2.00 was not compatible with this notebook.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The short model number is PSAFJE
Thankyou

Hi
I have checked the Toshiba website and I didnt see any BIOS update for the Equium A210 PSAFJE. That means a BIOS update was never released for this notebook normally.
For me it sounds like that you have updated the BIOS with a version for another Equium A210. So you should go to an authorized service provider. The technicians can install the right BIOS version for you (downgrade).
Bye

Equium A60-173 - After BIOS update no boot

Hi, I have a Toshiba Equium A60-173 running Windows XP.
I just attempted to update the BIOS and all was going well until it shut down and did not switch itself back on. I waited and waited then powered it up myself. Result was a black screen or maybe even screen did not power on. I left it like this for about 5 mins then thought it had crashed so tried to switch it off to restart. The power button would not respond so I left it a little longer then removed the battery (<<<idiot I know)
Now the laptop will not boot, I press the power button and get: beeeep beep beeeep beep then it shuts off :S
I am lost and hope I haven't just destroyed my girlfriends laptop!
Any help/steps/advice very much appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
Unfortunately if BIOS update fails you can do nothing because the ROM module must be reflashed from a notebook technician
So you must contact a service partner in your country and ask for help. The guys can help you to get rid of this.

Equium A210 - After BIOS update the DVD drive stopped working

hi, since I have updated my BIOS recently, my DVD drive has stopped working on my Equium A210-1AS with Vista 32bit.
I have tried Microsoft fixme program that does not work, upper and lower registry is not there ether in regedit.
Has anyone got any solutions to get DVD drive working again?

Have tried fixme from Microsoft that doesnt work, have tried to delete upper/lower filters they are not there, have unistalled CD drive and restarted the drive re-installs and still does not reconise any CD/DVD to boot up and DVD drive disapears some times
Any suggestions?

Re: Downgrading Equium A210-1AS from Vista to WIN XP

I have a fully functioning desktop and a barely working Equium A210-1AS I have Avanquest Fix-It 10 working well on the desktop. I installed Fix-It 10 on the Equium and after a day or so the computer crashed. It would boot and after endless restore operations and uninstalling a not-needed program and Fix-It 10 the computer is sort of working with a peculiar message. I was too mean to pay an extra 30 for a recovery disk for the Equius which has Vista Home OS. Now it so happens that I have a genuine OEM CD of WIN XP in my possesion. I bought it and used it on a desktop that I eventually took to the Council rubbish dump when it stopped working.
Can I create a CD with all the XP drivers downloaded from the Internet then just boot up with the WIN XP disk then insert the drivers CD?
I believe I could activate WIN XP by telephone and explanation. Would this work and what would the difficulties be? I do not need to save any data.
BTW I like XP and dont like Vista!
Thanks for any help,

I have another problem. When I use the other link supplied by Jeka-IL to the Toshiba website concerning an AHCI driver, and I went to Device Manager to find out which chipset I had the result was nothing like the example given by Toshiba. What I saw was as follows:
IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
IDE Channel
IDE Channel
IDE Channel
Ricoh Memory Stick Controller
Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller
Ricoh xD Picture Card Controller
Standard Dual Channel PC IDE Controller
Standard Dual Channel PC IDE Controller
IEEE 1394 Bus host contollers
Etc
etc
The processor is an AMD Turion 64 x 2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz
This I am sure is a processor that could operate 64bit but is currently operating Vista 32bit

Wireless LAN Driver for Equium A210-1AS

Hi
The Toshiba TEMPO system alerted me to a Wireless LAN Vista driver update for my Equium A210-1AS. I've downloaded it, but it's an Atheros driver, whereas the wireless connection properties show the wireless device to be a Realtek RTL8187B device, driver RTL8187B.sys.
It's not exactly obvious why an Atheros driver would be relevant.
Any suggestions?

Reverse the Atheros WLan driver installation and use the preinstalled one.
I agree with Mores. Dont update anything if your notebook runs great.
By the way; some A210 notebook were equipped with the Atheros WLan card and therefore you have received such update.
I think you should take a look firstly on your notebook before doing any updates

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.

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?

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.

Satellite Pro L300: BSOD after BIOS update

Hi
after update the Bios of Satellite Pro L300, the windows not start!
Its show the blue dead screen!
What can i do?

Hi
Are you able to access the BIOS settings?
Im not quite sure why this BSOD appears but possibly the SATA mode settings have been changed after BIOS update
Usually the SATA mode should be set to AHCI if the SATA drivers are installed.
But if the SATA drivers are not included the SATA mode should be set to compatible.
Please check this!
Furthermore you could set the BIOS to the default settings and could try to boot the machine again.

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

HP p6230a runs slow after bios update - Getting error BIODHD-8 on Diagnostic Tools

After bios update my desktop runs so painfully slow it is unworkable. Disk drive seems to be constantly hammered by processes that don't appear on task manager. Running 64 bit windows 7 (sp1). Running the diagnostic tools prior to boot up comes up with error code BIOHD-8 - A SMART test failed on the drive - please contact HP Support. Ideally would like to get previous version of bios as machine was running well before update.

I will ask my HP Employee Expert colleagues about this internally. It will take a while for them to respond.
the BIODHD-8 error code means your harddrive is failing and must be replaced.
Back up everything that you possibly can before it fails and no longer boots up into Windows .
is your notebook still within the standard warranty period of one year? A notebook hard disk is a warranty replaceable item.(no cost to you while within warranty)

Re: Equium A210-1AS - Blue screen and can't start it

My computer was working fine, i shut it down, the next time i start up it shows the windows loading screen, then for a second a blue screen flashes by, it restarts and repeats, i shut it down and started tapping F8 untill the advanced boot options comes up, safemode ect... none of them work and all lead to the blue screen, if i select the repair option at the top "Repair Your Computer" it begins to load with a vista background and cursor and then shows the error "The installed program cannot start. click OK to turn off the computer."
in Advanced Boot Options i try "Disable automatic restart on system failure" and the blue screen stays up so i can see it, it shows a usual blue screen error, reading:
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
STOP: 0X000000ED (0X85DDA600, 0XC000009C, 0X0000000, 0X0000000)
I do not have a recovery CD as i believe there is a recovery partition, but i don't know how to access this-
I am using Equium A210-1AS
Part Number : PSAFJE-005005KS
Windows vista 32bit
Thanks,
I know know the recovery partition is accessed theough "Repare your computer" but just shows "The installed program cannot start. click OK to turn off the computer." :/

Hello
In my opinion the case is clear: If you cant start the HDDrecovery feature (btw, its not a recovery partition!!!) using Repair my Computer option, you need the Toshiba recovery disk to reinstall it and get factory settings back.
Im wondering that you dont have a recovery disk. You didnt create it? So you didnt read the user manual but this should always be done before you do something with computers.
Anyway, you can order a new recovery disk here:

Equium A210-1AS: Windows BootManager Status unexpectedI/Oerror has occurred

Hi everyone, I'm really hoping someone out there can help me today!
My daughter is in the middle of her GCSE Exams and has a problem with her Equium A210 - 1AS.
It was working fine until last night and now all she gets when booting up is:
"Windows BootManager screen
Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.
Thiserror can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB Drive while the device is in use, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or CD Rom drive that is failing.
Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer.
If you continue to receive this error message, contact the hardware manufacturer.
File: \Boot\BCD
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred.
ENTER=Continue"
She tells me she had her web cam plugged in and tried rebooting and replugging that in but this has not resolved the problem.
Can anyone out there help me please as we are desparate to get to work on her pc!
Many thanks if you can.
Regards,
A

> Toshiba has lost any future business from me, and the many others I have read about in various forums.
Sorry to hear this but I don't know why you think so. Fact is that Toshiba and any other notebook manufacturer has specific rules how all this works. In the whole story problem is that you, and many other people you found in Internet, are not familiar with all this and you build your opinion based on your interpretation. Unfortunately it is far away from reality.
When you bought your notebook you were obligated to create recovery DVD and use it for further OS installation. This was described in Toshiba reminder with clear instruction how to do this.
When you buy Microsoft installation disc and loose it you will not get new one for free although you have bill and evidence you bought it on regular way.
As I can see you have your opinion about all this and I don't want to disturb you anymore.
Good luck.
