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. ;(

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...

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

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,

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.

I have had this HP machine for about two years now, bought it new on November 2011. Last night I decided to find out if any of my drivers were outdated so, I went to HP website to download all the newest updates. After finishing the installation for all my drivers I realized that there was also a new BIOS update, so I proceeded to download and install it. after the installtion finished and I rebooted everything seemed fine for about 1 hour, however the system froze and then thats when my End begins. The machine will not POST, everything turns on, all parts have been removed and tested, but machine turns on and does nothing. And my conclusion is that sadddley enough my motherboard/BIOS is bricked. Is there any solution to my misfortune, I need this machine for work. Please respond to my post, I will apreciate any opionis or suggestions please and thank you. BIOS was updated to Version7.16 Rev. A, 2.6M.

Ricky, welcome to the forum.
I am not certain that there is anything that you can do. However, here is the "Motherboard Specifications" page for the computer. Near the bottom of the page there is a guide on clearing the CMOS. I would give this a try to see if it helps.

If you are under warranty, call support. If not, probably, the board cannot be fixed

SORRY FOR MY POOR EANGLISH

Hi
Its pity to hear that mate!
It seems that something went wrong during the BIOS update and therefore the notebook cannot power up.
Im afraid you cannot do anything else as to contact the local ASP!
The local ASP technician should check the unit and possibly he could update the BIOS again using an special BIOS and special procedure.
Good luck buddy

Laptop dead after BIOS update. How do I restore original BIOS?

Model: HP Pavillion m7-1015dx
Original OS: Windows 7
Current OS: Windows 8 64 bit
Problem:
I tried to update the BIOS using this file:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-124651-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Released:2013-10-08
File name: sp63801.exe [1/1, 6.56M]
Version F.29
It gave me a Blue Screen of Death and the computer restarted. After restarting I only get a black screen, the fan turns on but there's no text and no way to access the BIOS nor the boot menu.
The Caps Lock led starts blinking twice, then stops for 1~ second, then blinks twice again and again, indefinitely. This, according to HP, suggests a BIOS Corruption Failure.
What I've tried:
I don't have the HP recovery partition, so I've tried installing both HP UEFI BIOS Update SoftPAQ and HP UEFI Support Environment SoftPAQ to a FAT32 USB drive named HP_TOOLS. I have tried these tools separately, not at the same time. I've tried them with 3 different bios downloaded from this site. I hold the windows key and B, then turn on the computer. Nothing happens. I have tried Fn and B, holding them for different lengths of time, there's no beeps, no text on the screen, nothing. The led on the USB drive flashes over ten times at the beginning and then stops, then caps lock starts blinking again. I have tried putting the .bin file in different folders in the USB, including the root, same result. There's no.sig file in the bios I have downloaded.
I am on mobile, excuse the errors. What am I missing?
This question was solved.

Thank you. I'm typing this from my just-recovered laptop. I don't know what I would've done if I wasn't able to fix it. You are a true hero heroine.
A few pointers for others with the same problem:
* Make sure you have at least .Net Framework 3.5 installed. Phoenix tools wouldn't generate the files until I installed it.
* Not every BIOS version on the HP site can be installed with this method. I had to click on "previous versions" and only the three oldest ones were able to generate the required files with Phoenix tools.

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.

Satellite C660D-117 dead after Bios update

Yesterday I tried to execute bios upgrade but it got stuck in step 3 (of 27 I think).
I left it as this for more than an hour, nothing happened.
I also tried to cancel it or press CTRL+ALT+DEL but the machine was completely frozen.
It did not react when I pulled out the power cord.
Basically the only thing that I could do was to remove battery that I did. PROBLEM - now the laptop is completely dead. Not like others were saying that it boots. It does not do absolutely anything - even there are no LED lights on when I plug the power cord.
I tried to remove the battery and hold the power button for a while in order to reset the CMOS, but no luck.
It does not react at all.
Do you think it is solvable by flashing the CMOS again (if it is even possible) or do I have to purchase a new motherboard?
Thanks

> Do you think it is solvable by flashing the CMOS again (if it is even possible) or do I have to purchase a new motherboard?
Its difficult to say in most cases it should be possible to bring the notebook back to life flashing the ROM module (where BIOS is stored) once again using an crisis disk.
I dont know if this would help you but take a look into this thread:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=54395
Otherwise recommend asking an Toshiba service technician for a help

T6x Dead after BIOS update

I flashed the BIOS for my 8889 and the update said it worked fine then asked to reboot then I get a black screen. This is my wife's laptop and what I am reading is I will need to replace the system board. Ouch that is $$$ what options do I have if I sent this in to a depot and had them flash the BIOS directly. Everything was working fine and I will never update the bios again stuff like this happens like I have been reading. Any help would be awesome!
Thanks

the BIOS must be flashed with the exact version number for your laptop model number, if it is flashed with different BIOS version, then it ends up as a paperweight....
You would have to escalate the case with one of the service team member, explain your case and why you think it is not your fault, maybe if you are lucky then you may not have to pay for the subsequent service... otherwise you would need to get a new laptop................
