How to reset the BIOS to solve a problem with DVD burner on Satellite P100

Hi
I am trying to reset my cmos to solve a problem with my dvd burner.
I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completly inoperable.
After much searching I have heard to reset cmos.
I have treid through debug and nothing happend. I don't really want to open up the laptop and pull the cmos battery out or leave it for a month until the cmos battery runs out.
Is there any advice on what I should do.

Hi
What you want to do is simply not possible you said that you had some problems with PCs and you fixed it.
That's great. But a PC is simply different and cannot be compared with the notebook
> I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completely inoperable.
According to your statement above you CD/DVD drive issue could be related to the installed starforce nightmare. I dont know this but I presume this software/application has changed or destroyed the CD/DVD drives firmware.
Sorry but I see only one way to get it working again You have to contact the ASP in your country. Maybe a technician would be able to rescue the drive
PS: your Satellite P100 PSPA6A series seems to be a Australian series therefore you should use the Toshiba Australian page if you need some drivers or BIOS

Satellite x200 - how to reset the Bios password

Hello,
I purchased a used Satellite x200 to replace my old p100.
When I received it, I remarked the bios is locked and the person I got it from is unable to tell me the password, arguing she used the finger imprint only four long.
Is there a way to reset the bios password and how much would it cost?
Regards

Hi
The BIOS password can be removed only by an authorized service provider in country where you live.
So get in contact with Toshiba service partner and ask for BIOS password reset.

I hope someone will be able to help me. Have a good evening,

TORCH 9800 " How to stop the DATA Wiping due to Problems with Password Input "

PHONE TYPE:
Torch 9800 (1256)
PROBLEM:
On Friday, April 5th ... after several attempts of inputting my screen password I was constantly told by the 9800 that the wrong password was being attempted; which I know I did input the right PW . [ I believe that one key pertaining to the PW string is faulty and therefore not accepting the right character ] . When I had suffered prior password issues after several attempts the 9800 indicated on the screen that I would be locked out for 15 minutes until I could attempt again. This time after attempting what I believe was 9 times I suffered a "OMG" (Oh My God) situation where-in I believe the screen indicated to me that information would be erased; at that point I saw a progressive bar appear on the screen with the word "WIPING" and I immediately opened the back of the phone and removed the battery to stop the wipe at 40%.
One hour+ later I inserted the battery back into the 9800 and once again the data wipe bar appeared on the screen and I pulled the battery to halt the wipe at 20%.
I went to the Blackberry Official web site and sought out any solutions to stopping the data wipe in the Torch 9800 manuals and other service areas and there was no mention of the data wipe. I sought out other web sites for solutions and there was none... I also referenced a number of Black Berry forums and found that there where mentions of the same issue I was experiencing BUT no solutions.
I then pulled my sim card and inserted it into another Torch 9800 I maintain as a backup and when I went to my Mac Book Pro to connect the alternate 9800 and transfer data to it from the Blackbery desktop manager I was told their was a system failure. I attempted several times to in the dialogue box to copy data and settings from another device and again a system failure appeared. I again went to BB Torch Forums and found out that there have been a number of issues with Apple Macs and back up and transfers of data to Torch 9800 .
On Saturday I contacted Telstra Mobile Technical support and was connected to a Black Berry technical solution specialist who after referring to their BB manual and speaking to colleagues informed me that they saw NO work around solution.
I am therefore appealing to Blackberry wisemen & women to inform me if there is a solution to either obtain my backup data from my Mac and or to halt the Torch 9800 from wiping out my data if I have been able to pull the battery from the device. I have been user of Blackberry devices from the pagers of 1999 and have owned and operated over 14 BBs since along with my wife who is now on her first.
I am looking forward to your reply.

Hi canadagoose
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
Sorry to hear that you're experincing such issues !

But this situation happens when you enter wrong password for your BlackBerry ID , but not with device password that a user set in his device :
KB24157 : BlackBerry ID lockout behaviour .
As you're an old user as you mentioned in your post , I think you will agree that BlackBerry are the most secure devices available , if we enter wrong password to many times ( By default 10 times ) then it will initiate a wipe process , which you cannot stop my any mean.
Sorry to say but there is no way or any workaround available to stop a device wipe after it is initiated .
Reading your backup issue , have you ever done a full backup or a custom backup which atleast include your address book ! If you have it then after a wipe you can restore it from those backup files.

How to reset the calendar from myfaces?

I want to realize a "logoff" feature on my main jsp page. And that page contains a calendar component.
I simply "redirect" main page to the login page by return a string, however when I login again, the calendar is still like the one of the last login action. Eg: in first login action, I change the current month in the calendar to January, and then I log off. After next login, the month stays January, instead of the current month!
I tried to reset the members of backing bean, it remains the same.
I use the component calendar from myfaces, does anyone know how to solve this problem, or simply, how to reset the component calendar?
Thanks!

How to remove the BIOS password on Satellite M40

I'm looking for the the master Bios password or how can I reset the Bios password of Satellite M-40.
I forget my Bios password and I can't used my laptop any more.
Please I need the help

I've got bad news for you... :( the BIOS password cannot be removed easily.
As far as I know only the ASP (Toshiba authorized service provider) can remove the unknown BIOS password...
Therefore I don't see any other solution as to contact the local ASP and to ask for the password removing.
Bye & good luck

How to clear the BIOS on a HP Pavillion 500-214ed

Hi all,
in a flash of unprecedented genius I accidentally disabled all the USB ports on my Pavilion 500-214ed. Which now leaves me with a useless system, since both USB keyboard and mouse don't work. So I need to reset the BIOS to factory settings.
I've located the ROM_RECOVERY jumper (E16) on the motherboard, which I assume is the one I need to clear the BIOS, but I can't find a manual or something to let me know which jumper settings I need.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks in advance
Steve
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi, Steve:
Normally you can find that info on the motherboard specs page but it isn't there.
Did you try unplugging the PC, and carefully removing the cmos coin cell battery, and pressing the power button to remove any residual power to the motherboard?
Hopefully, removing the cmos battery will also clear the BIOS settings.
But if you first look at the motherboard, are there any jumpers labeled CMOS and password?

Does anyone know how to reset the fan on a MacBook Pro 13-inch (Late 2011) to it's factory setting speed (Maybe Terminal may help?)

I have a late-2011 13-inch MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite. (Standard configuration).
My problem is that I downloaded a fan control application and it worked perfectly, but it started to get annoying so I deleted it.
Does anyone know how to reset the fan speed back to factory settings (Maybe a command in terminal?)

After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?
