  • How to enter the BIOS settings on my Satellite L50-A-k4W?

    Help me pls!! How to enter the BIOS settings? I do not know, and Google does not help me =((

    At first you have to perform an complete shutdown.
    Here an HowTo:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
    The point is that Win 8 does not shut down the notebook but the unit performs hybrid shutdown to boot faster. So unit needs to be shut down in order to access the BIOS.
    Start notebook again and press F12 to enter boot menu. Thee you can find option for BIOS settings. You can also try with F2 at start up.

  • How can i access security settings to stop PDF being copied?

    How can i access security settings to stop PDF being copied?
    I'm trying to secure my documents so others can not convert file to word or copy and paste information to edit

    Keep in mind (and Acrobat will alert you to this fact) that protections that you set in Acrobat are enforced by all Adobe products but the 3rd-party PDF Viewers may ignore them. There are even Web sites that will strip protections that you set in Acrobat. This is not a reliable technology these days. Acrobat keeps it mostly for backward compatibility for those users who use only Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

  • How to access BIOS settings in Bootcamp Windows 7?

    I need to reset the BIOS boot order in my Bootcamp partition to boot first from a DVD/CD, such as a Windows 7 repair disk.  What are the steps to get there?

    There is no BIOS, so you can't access the settings.

  • How can I access BIOS/EFI in MBP Retina

    How can I access EFI (or BIOS equivalent) in Macbook Pro Retina?
    I tried to access with Option + Command + O and F. But, it doesn't work.
    Is there anyone who saw the bios settings of MBP Retina?

    Apple disables the standard mechanism for entry into the EFI shell in its computers, but not the EFI shell itself. If you want to launch the EFI shell, you can download third-party software that changes the interface EFI shows you at start-up. This will void your warranty & support, so you'll have to use Google for instructions.

  • How to restore default BIOS settings on Toshiba 1410 / 1415 / 2410 laptops? Option to CHGBIOSA?

    I  have problems booting to any operating system but DOS on Toshiba Satellite 1410 (in very good physical condition) after few years of inactivity (drained down main battery and CMOS battery - now they're charged)
    Windows stops with BSOD (error 0x0000008e), Linux stops with kernel panic, bad_area_nosemaphore and IRQ error.
    Plain MS-DOS 7.10 seems to run OK.
    BIOS was 1.40 with main password set. After first boot it displayed request for entering password and pressing F1 key to set the hardware clock. Now it doesn't display this message anymore.
    Two memory modules (Nanya - 256 MB, 266 MHz, CL 2,5) are OK - checked on different versions of MemTest86+
    (Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool hangs when starting!)
    I dismantled laptop and cleaned very small amount of dust inside with compressed air.  Changed thermal paste on the processor (Celeron M 1,8) and bridge. Turned laptop on with extension cards, battery and disk and without them also.
    It didn't help.
    I flashed the CMOS with BIOS 1.20, 1.30 and 1.40 back again. None of the versions didn't let booting neither Windows nor Linux.
    MS-DOS, PC-DOS, FreeDOS still run OK.
    What's more interesting - after flashing procedure all BIOS settings were intact (booting priority, battery saving mode, etc.). And yes - I removed the password before flashing!
    I was suspicious about problems occuring when laptop was entering 32-bit mode and checked it with Video Memory Stress Test.
    When CMOS was flashed with 1.20 BIOS above test was running flawlessly. However, with 1.30 and 1.40 version it stopped >>Unhandled Exceptopn "Access Denied"<< in 8th iteration when lucky. Most of the time it stopped after 2nd or 3rd iteration after framebuffer subtest.
    So my question are:
    - did CMOS lost its settings or somehow they were corrupted after long period of laptop's inactivity?
    - is Video extension of this BIOS flashable?
    - why the settings are NOT restored to defaults after each CMOS flashing?
    - or maybe there is some hidden switch/option to CHGBIOSA flasher to reset non-flashable CMOS area?
    - or is my built-in Video Card (nVidia NV17M) or IRQ enumerator dead?

    Hi Jerry! I think I'm on board now, anyway I hope so. I removed both devices and switched them around. The device manager shows two USB devices. One is Mass Storage and one is Composite. I don't realy know which one is the 1TB and which one is the 16 GB. In my boot menu, it just says USB now?? My laptop only has three USB ports. Two on the right and One on the left. I have a wireless mouse plugged in one of the ports on the right as you can see in device manager. I hope this is what you were asking. I can be a little thick headed at times, so let me know what else you want me to try Thank you for your kind reply. It really means a lot to me.
    Dokie!

  • Lenovo G50-30 Unable to access BIOS settings after Windows recovery

    Hi
    I recently 'downgraded' a recently purchased Lenovo G50-30 with preinstalled Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 using a UEFI USB install on a GPT partition. I also updated the BIOS from A7CN40WW to the latest A7CN43WW and all was working fine. However, after performing a necessary restore of an system image created using the Windows 7 backup and restore tool, I am suddenly unable to access the BIOS settings, either with the novo button (I do get the menu to select BIOS) or with Fn +F2. All that happens is that I receive a blank screen with a static cursor in the upper left corner. I can however still access the boot menu Fn +F12. This is a particular pain as I obviousl can't select USB 3.0 in BIOS.
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    OK, I managed to clear CMOS by disassembling and desoldering a leg off the the RTC battery but to no avail. The problem seems to be that BIOS a7cn43ww itself has somehow been corupted. In theory this should be able to be resolved by a reflash. The trouble here is there seems to be no way to reflash with a current or previous BIOS version, so I'll have to either wait for a newer version or someone may know better.
    C'mon Lenovo support this simply isn't good enough. It's a brand new laptop and I'm considering returning it for a refund.

    How would I get into bios if I can't remember my password to get to the desktop though to start with? I am beyond annoyed with windows 8 and toshiba. Best Buy didn't give me a disk, instead there's a stupid card. If I had the disk, I could simply do a reinstall and change the password. Plus we pay for the operating system so this is not good, what they are doing at all now! Even if they gave a reset disk it would be helpful. But now they want to charge for that?
    any way.. how do i get to the bios at bootup before reaching the desk top so that I can reinstall or "something".. must be able to in there!

  • How do I access profile settings in ios 6? I used to be under general settings in ios 5.

    I am trying to access profile settings in ios 6.0.1, but it is not there on my iphone 4s. It used to be under general settings in ios 5. Can anyone help? I am trying to delete a profile setting that I do not use anymore.

    So, the profile section is the place where you can add, for example, a wifi profile from your school that is used for authentication, or a profile from freemyapps. This is the profile I am talking about. I am not able to find it on the 4s in ios 6 for some reason. Do you guys know? Would really appreciate it.
