KT6V 7021 - OnBoard NIC "dead" after BIOS 2.00 update ... any thoughts?

Hi!
Just flashed KT6V BIOS 2.00 and now my onboard nic suddenly stopped working.
The network adapter gets recognized by Windows as usual, but although I do get a dhcp lease from my server I'm unable to connect to any share on it. It's also impossible to surf the web or to simply ping any local/remote host. If I try to connect to the system from any other workstation on the lan it doesn't work either.
The network status only shows a great amount of sent packages - caused by AVAST! as it tries to look for an update on boot - but only "0" received.
I flashed the BIOS from the emergency diskette and did a CMOS clear (Jumper) afterwards. And yes, I did disconnect my PSU from the wall socket.
Since I need network access to the system I tried stepping back to BIOS 1.90 but with no avail - the onboard nic doesn't receive a single paket after it has got it's dhcp lease.
Any clue what might be wrong and how I'm able to get my nic back to work?
Thank you in advance for any useful help.

Hi Fredrik.

So if you were to downgrade BIOS problems would go away, right?
I have already downgraded to BIOS 1.90 and the problem stayed the same - the onboard nic is still dead beef.
Quote
When clearing CMOS there can be no el. left in your system, so unplug power cable etc.
As mentioned in my first post I _have_ unplugged the power cord from the wall socket.

If the new BIOS would affect NIC card... Hm, it is hard to see quite how.
I can't think of any reason either, however, the nic went dead after updating to BIOS v2.00. I assume that there must be some kind of "network code" inside the bios which has to do with the onboard nic - otherwise I'm unable to explain why the MAC address suddenly changed to "11:22:33:44:55:66". If I would only have a clue on how to access and/or flash the nic ... ???
Quote
Is there any error marks for the nic in say Device Manager, if you get that far?
Nope, there is no question or exclamation mark on the network card in the device manager. Windows thinks the card is working, but in reality it isn't. As already stated: No traffic from/to the network.

Satellite A300 - touch pad dead after BIOS 2.20 update

Hi,
exact model is Satellite A300 PSAGCA-06M01N running Win XP.
i had a problem with the webcam, and i read in the forum that it may be solved by a BIOS update. so i went ahead and downloaded the latest BIOS from the toshiba website specifically for my laptop model. it went completely well with no errors.
however when the computer restarted after the BIOS update my touchpad doesn't work anymore.
i went to the Device Manager and could still see the Synaptics touchpad device and it says "This device is working properly". but its totally dead and will not respond including the 2 buttons. before i updated the BIOS i had never had any problems with it.
Tried FN+F9 to no avail. plugged in a USB mouse and it works with no problems. In fact, when i plugged in the mouse the synaptics software said " Disabling the touch pad due to external pointing device" so the device driver for the touchpad is working.
if i remove the mouse it will say the touch pad is restored but it is still not working. rebooted many times and still the same problem. went into the BIOS and selected "Default" still a no go.
Can someone offer any advice or ideas please?
I really need the touch pad for the way i use the laptop...

Hi,
thank you for your reply. i already checked the BIOS setting for "Pointing Devices" and made sure its enabled. its the only setting in there that relates to the touch pad. just to make sure though i disabled it and then rebooted, after which i rebooted again and enabled it to no effect. i know this is not an isolated instance, as my search has turned up some with exactly the same problem. I'm really disappointed with Toshiba.
regards,

My Qosmio F10 is dead after Bios Update

My Qosmio F10 is dead after BIOS update ... it doesn't work anymore .. i update the bios from 1.10 to 1.20
the switch Led is always orange...
what can i do to make it work again ? or return the 1.10 version?

Hi
You can check many postings in this forum about the BIOS upgrade procedure.
Mostly the users damage the notebook because of wrong BIOS or wrong BIOS procedure.
If the notebook is dead after this procedure so it could be a damage motherboard.
In this case only the Toshiba service partner can solve this issue. ;(

KT4AV MSI-6712 Dead after BIOS Flash to support XP3000 CPU (Photos)

Hello, I'm a 15-year veteran system administrator and hardware hacker and this is the first time I have ever had what appears to be a truly DEAD mobo killed after a BIOS flash!
Of course I read all the stickies and spent 2 hours research & homework first, before posting here. I tried everything to revive this mobo.
Here's what happened:
MSI-6712 KT4AV system with onboard Audio and Ethernet, Athlon 2800+ CPU, 1GB (2 x 512MB PC2700 DDR) RAM. 300W PSU. It's been running great for years with never an issue. I just got a Athlon 3000+ CPU I wanted to upgrade, but before I did I decided I had better upgrade the BIOS to support this newer CPU, since the BIOS Version History says the later revisions handle the 3000 CPU.
I upgraded the BIOS from DOS Boot via a Bootable USB and it Verified successfully. Then I rebooted and it said something like Invalid CMOS settings, so I entered BIOS Setup to view my new BIOS. I noticed new features like Network Boot ability, so the new BIOS seemed to be a success. (Note this was a soft-reboot, not a hard power-off reboot). I set my normal settings and saved to reboot and the system was DEAD from that point on! No beeps, monitor stays black. CPU fan does run but that's it.
Here is what I have:
(This image is larger if you view it directly)
Things I have tried:
Removing all RAM and vacuuming dust, reseating 1 stick nearest the CPU. (This shouldnt be necessary since I have not removed the ram or disturbed it, but I tried anyway since D-Bracket LED indicates a Memory error.)
Trying a different brand PC2700 DDR RAM stick.
Removing CMOS battery for 10 minutes.
Jumpering Clear CMOS a dozen times. Leaving Clear CMOS jumper overnight (desperate!).
Disconnected all devices from mobo, all HDs, even the AGP video card.
Unfortunately, since the mobo fails so early, it never beeps or initializes the keyboard, so safe-mode INS or CTRL-HOME don't work... so I can't reload my old BIOS backup I carefully saved before I flashed the new one.
As you can see the BIOS chip is soldered directly to the mobo.... so am I 100% dead here? Is there anything I can do?
I am 100% positive I did this BIOS update correctly and there is no reason it should have killed the mobo!

Quote
UPDATE: Oh boy, it looks like I may have flashed the WRONG BIOS???!?!
Too possible, that's why i ask
Quote
I'm not sure what my old bios version was, I couldn't find any way to tell? The BIOS flash utility did not display my old version anywhere either.
Well you told that you have created BIOS backup before update the BIOS, ==> "so I can't reload my old BIOS backup I carefully saved before I flashed the new one."
Can you upload it somewhere to check it?
Quote
I now see that I should have instead flashed BIOS v5.4 for KT4AV: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=552
I am shocked at this mistake... Can such a small discrepency (KT4V-L vs KT4AV) really kill my motherboard? I saw the KT4V-L and thought it was right because my mobo has Onboard LAN...
I'm doomed!

Can such a small discrepency (KT4V-L vs KT4AV) really kill my motherboard?
Sure yes, will be no wonder

T61p dead after BIOS flash

Hi all.
I own a T61p (Type: 8891-CTO) which had its mother board recently replaced due to the well known GPU error.
Now today I updated the BIOS with the latest available under Windows XP. After the reboot the laptop showed the "Lenovo Thinkpad" screen. After a few seconds the fan started running on it's maximum setting but otherwise nothing happened.
I tried to turn off the laptop using the On/Off key but to no avail. I ended shutting the laptop down by undocking it from the dock and pulling the battery pack.
Now, the laptop won't turn on again. Pressing the On/Off key are not giving any reaction. Also, when putting the laptop back into the dock or applying the power supply the small indicator LED with the plug does not turn on.
So, I'm now in the unfortunate situation of possesing a completely dead T61p.
What can I do now? Is it possible to revert the BIOS update by Lenovo support, or is there another way short of swapping the main board or buying an entirely new laptop?

@benwon:
I have actually tried to contact Lenovo support on this matter, but since my warranty ran out in January they couldn't really help.
The support person I spoke to sounded rather pessimistic about this matter. He denied the option of restoring the BIOS by "hard flashing" it right away and suggested a planar replacement. The probable cost for this small operation would be as high as buying a brand new laptop.
Since buying a replacement planar on the net and replacing it myself is way cheaper than a new laptop this is what I will do. If I get lucky and can get the BIOS of my dead planar "restored" and thus getting it working again (assuming that the errored BIOS hasn't destroyed any of the hardware) I can still use it as a replacement part or for a secondary PC.

Satellite L650-1KR PSK1JE - dead after BIOS update

As the subject already states, my Satellite L650 - 1KR Part No. PSK1JE is totally OFF after BIOS-Update 2.40-WIN from bios-download-page.
I tried everything: Press all buttons, take out the laptop battery, only laptop battery, ...simply nothing!
My last hope is a hidden, very special key sequence for toshiba laptops or something like this.
Of course my warranty is already over... :-(
Please help!
Thank you in advance...
lichtimc

Sorry to hear you have such problem now. I presume something went wrong and now the BIOS chip is screwed up and in such situation you need professional help. Toshiba service provider can help you with this but Im afraid it can be very expensive.
In the past I never had such problems but on the net you can find many pages with description what can be done. Visit this page and check if you can find something useful there. I mean you can try to fix it alone.

Satellite L630 dead after BIOS update

Hi
I have a problem with a Toshiba Satellite Laptop L630 model PSK00E-017019EN (UK model).
A Toshiba software scan recommended a BIOS update and as I had been having some issues with the laptop I decided to let it run . . . bad mistake!
The laptop will now not fire up into bios so is effectively dead.
I have downloaded various versions of the Phoenix Crisis Recovery Disk (which will build a bootable USB flash drive with MINIDOS.SYS, PHLASH16.EXE and a generic BIOS.WPH) and have also downloaded the latest BIOS from the toshiba website.
The downloaded Toshiba BIOS is an exe file SL630_L635_WIN_B140.exe which will extract to the following files using WINRAR (I have also tried picking up the files from %temp% after running the exe file with the same result).
The files I get are:
BB10140.FD (4170kb)
Ding.wav (104kb)
InsydeFlash.exe (764kb)
iscflash.dll (1760kb)
iscflash.sys (14kb)
iscflashx64.sys (23kb)
and platform.ini (9kb)
I was expecting to see the actual bios in the form xxxx.rom or xxxx.WPH so that I could add this to the bootable flash drive to reflash the bios.
So my actual question is, could someone point me towards where I can download the correct BIOS.ROM file for this laptop and also where I can obtain the correct version of Phoenix Crisis Recovery Disk software.
Also could you confirm the correct key sequence to boot to the Crisis Recovery flash drive . . . I have seen mention of both FN F and FN B (both used without battery and whilst plugging in adapter and then power button) . . . the FN F routine seems to boot the Flash drive but obviously without the correct WPH file it will not solve the problem.
Thanks
Phil

OK
.... well contacting Toshiba support was about as much using as whistling in the wind!
They had no knowledge of reflashing the bios, certainly could not send me an image for a crisis disk (even for a charge) . . . and their only suggestion was to have the laptop picked up for assessment and quote which would cost nearly 100 even if I didnt have it repaired. (I doubt if the laptop is worth much more than that)
So back to the forums in the hope that someone might point me to the correct USB Flash drive flashing routine for this laptop!
I have a feeling that the bootblock might now be damaged on the BIOS as it is now behaving differently if I try to flash the bios.
If I put the correct "bios.fd" file on a USB stick and then use FN-F on power up (no battery installed) then the usb stick flashes once, machine powers up, stays on for about 10 seconds and then restarts back to the black screen.
I have also tried (as suggested on one forum) putting all of the extracted files from the bios exe from Toshiba onto a stick + the FD file renamed as BIOS.FD . . . still the same result.
I am close to sticking it onto Ebay as "spares or repairs" . . . HELP!
thanks
Phil

Motherboard dead after bios upgrade (ms 6195 - K7 pro ver:1 n1996)

Hi,
as you can read in the topic i tried to flash the ms6195 with the flash utility and flash image i got from msi.
Afterwards the pc rebooted and hung (keyboard dead) on checking nvram. After a cold reboot i just get a blank screen.
Can i replace the bios chip and if so where could i get one?
Thx,
Jim

/f is for award flasher -- no such option for amiflash
seems the reason i can't flash the rom chip is because it's locked and the flasher uses the unlock procedure for the ms6191 which doesn't work
so i need to manually fill in the rom chip(w29c020) and flash part(???) (chip set still gers detected amd 751/756)
I can't find the flash part number anywhere on the board so where can i find this (or how can i contact msi to ask for the flash part number)?

PT880 Neo-LSR 7008 ver 1 dead after bios flash

I flashed my new (well it's been on a shelf for a while) PT880 Neo-LSR 7008 with a Win98 floppy and now it doesn't boot anymore.
I followed the instructions on the website ... make boot floppy, put bios on different disk. when I ran the flash program, it
successfully erased the old bios then I got a error reading drive a: error. I assumed it was looking for command.com or some
other nonsense, but I hit r for retry several times before taking the bios disk out and putting the boot floppy in. then I
hit r for retry again. the flash program then continued, starting the flash process, finishing, and finally giving me a 'success' message
and sending me back to the DOS prompt. So I assumed it worked.
Now when I try to boot the computer (which booted fine before the flash), I get nothing. The D-bracket-2 never gets past
all four lights (= system power on - "the d-led will hang here if the processor is damaged or not installed properly"), even though
I changed nothing other than flashing the bios. The cpu fan is plugged in and turns so I don't think it's the thermal protection
circuit.
I tried hitting ctrl-home to force a bios recover with a bios file named amibios.rom in the floppy but I don't see any drive
lights come on the floppy after several minutes.
I also tried booting after clearing the cmos with jumper and also physically taking the battery out. This is not my first time
flashing a bios, but the first time I had a problem. Anybody got any suggestions? oh yeah, I used
the 1.9 bios 11-26-04 to flash.

okay, thanks. the files check out fine on a different floppy drive (was written using the floppy on the dead computer).
the MSI tech support people also think it is a bad board (even though it worked fine prior to the bios upgrade). wasn't sure I would get a reply from the ts people, site says you should get a confirm letter first, which i didn't. luckily i still have at least a month based on manufacture date till the 1 yr warranty ends.

Z87 GD-65 7 Sata ports dead after bios flash

Greetings, I have a Z87 GD-65 Mobo. I updated the BIOS to version 1.6 from 1.1 via forum flash tool. After the BIOS update, I restarted the computer. While the computer is restarting, I noticed it stopped loading the before the BIOS was loaded. So I checked the debug LED and it stopped on A2 with a black screen. It took me awhile to figure this out but I removed all of the HDD and their sata cables (I have 4 HDD). One by one, I tried connecting the HDD with the OS to each of SATA port on the mobo. I found one that is working, and was able to start my computer (which is sata port #1 and the rest are dead) and get into windows. Question is: How do I get the sata ports to work again?.
System:
OS: Windows 8.1 PRO
MSI Z87 GD-65 With i7 4770k no overclock.
Memory: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHZ
GPU: MSI GTX 780 Lighting.
Power supply: Corsair TX850M
Cooler: Corsair H80i

Yes i cleared the cmos by removing the battery and pressing the switch on the mobo and left it for 1 hour. The files i used are the ones from here http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z87-GD65-GAMING.html#overview and the usb flash tool.

New Latop Dead after BIOS Update

I just bought this laptop in October, 2014 a C50 PSCMLU-04202F to replace my 2003 Dell and after about 10 times of usage it is dead. Toshiba software on my computer said to install the BIOS update and it completed installing but now will not boot. I get the message: "Reboot and select propoer Boot device or insert Boot media in selected Boot device and press a key". They will not provide support without a credit card. Support says I am out of warranty, yet it was there support tool that said I needed to update my BIOS which I did. Can anyone help me? I moved ALL my pictures to this new computer and fear they are gone....

OH so I did the power button F2 and in advanced saw that the HDD/SDD was first so am assuming it can't see the hard drive i called Toshiba back and this tech said that since i was litterly 2 day out of warranty they would talk me through a reset, but to take it somehwere first to get my pictures off of there as a reset would wipe it out. Once I do that i wil lcall them back and if the reset does not work, they will be charging me 29.99 to ship back and fix since the hard drive IS under warranty - somethnig Alvin my morning tech didn't bother to check on or inform me of but swore someone would call me back and that didn't happen. So story here is stay tuned. Maria was FAR better service.

Yoga 2 Pro Went DEAD After BIOS Update

Had a horrible experience .. with good ending ... when upgrading Bios for my Yoga 2 Pro. So I'd like to share with others. I bought my Yoga 2 Pro last June (Man 3/22/14) and love it! But, it had problem restarting automatically after Windows Update. At least 3 times (That I can recall. Did not use it briefly from June 30 - July 22), the screen reminding user not to shutdown after Windows the update would stay on until I manually powered it down and restarted it. Last July 23, it did again after Windows Update. Searched Lenovo web-site and found a Bios Update for Yoga 2 Pro (Win 8.1 64-bit). Downloaded the new Bios (dated July 11, 2014) and went through the instruction striclty. First of, the screen responses were not at all as detailed in the instruction. So, the instruction is not very good. Received 2 warnings: Make sure the laptop is connected to the charger during the procedure, and the bios is for Yoga 2 Pro ONLY do not install it on any other models. As part fo the procedure, the laptop switched to a Bios Utility program. Again received the aforementioned warnings. Update progress was shown on the screen. All of a sudden, then screen went blank and the keyboard stayed lit. Waited for about 30 minutes. Still the same. Press and held the power button down (not sure for how long) ... nothing! Just no response from the latop. Called Tech support. She (the tech support lady) said that ... it is not recommended for user to go through the BIOS upgrade! What? Then why post it on Lenovo.com? She also said that I should not have downloaded software from the internet and upgrade, especially for BIOS. Well, I told her that I did not download the program from ANY web-site, I downloaded it from LENOVO.com. She said further that looks like the BIOS update had damaged my mother-board, there is a problem with Win 8 & 8.1, and because it was my own doing ... the damage would not be covered by the warranty! Considering the circumstance, Lenovo would waiver the initial $99 fee to assess the damage, but I would have to pay for any repair costs. In any case, I was so fumed at Lenove Tech Support responses that I hung up. close my laptop and put it aside. Almost 24 hours later, when the battery drained completely, I connected the laptop to the charger, press the power button to turn it on ... and ... to my surprise, the laptop booted and everything came back normal! The last (7/25) auto restart seemed to go well. Not sure if the auto restart problem is fixed with the new BIOS, but it seems to be. Time will tell.

Thank you for your posting. I searched the net when I ran into the problem, but could not find any help. Obviously, my search was not exhaustive. I was trying to make the following: a. Lenov should be more specific in their BIOS update instruction. Their instruction was ... far ... far from reality. b. Lenovo tech assistance was ... not much help. After listening to the description of my prolem, the tech lady immediately said that the operation must have damaged the mother-board, and that the operation is not ... recommended. No guidance on draining the battery a or how to restart the machine, etc... What I received was confusing that caused more panic! As a note, I had done BIOS upgrade on DELL PC/laptop before w/o any problem. I fully understand the implication of a BIOS upgrade, but trusted that manufacturer fully tested whatever that they post in their web-site. Oh well, live ... and learn! All in all, the Yoga 2 Pro is a great machine and I love it! Hope that anyone who runs into the same problem will be able to get the needed help in time! Cheers,

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.
If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

Thinkcentre Edge 92z (AIO) - Dead after BIOS update

Today I started Lenovo System Update to check for new updates for my ThinkCentre Edge 92z (model 3396BSG). System Update found a BIOS update. I started System Update from my Win64 Pro System.
Initially the display was showing white characters on black background. After a while a new window appeared with yellow characters on black background.
No interaction was done by me.
Some minutes later the system turned off.
I turned the system on and - nothing. The system didn´t show any startup messages, no splash screen - nothing. During "boot" (in fact no boot at all) I was not able to enter the BIOS - the systems seems to ignore any keyboard interactions.
To my opinion something during BIOS update killed my system.
I would appreciate any hints or comments.
Thank you and regards, Ingolf.

The machine is running again - after replacement of the system board. Thank you to Lenovo support and the technican.
Regards, Ingolf.
