Re: Blank screen on Satellite A200-1bw after Bios flashing

I have a Satellite A200-1bw and I have flashed my Bios when laptop froze.
So had to restart, now the screen wont come on.
Any help on what to do?
Do i need a new Bios chip from toshiba?

I have a Satellite A210-16G and i decided to flash new BIOS version (2.00-WIN32). I downloaded new version, unzipped two files (setup.exe and alaa200a.rom), quit all executed programs and disconnected internet, and launched setup.exe.
After that a program window apperared and it automatically started to check my bios version (strange thing - system cooler started to work with maximum rpm) and after 5-10 secs that window became blink and in the top there was a "No response" message.
I thought it's ok and i was waiting for about 15 minutes for some result...
But i got no one. I closed this window, and tryed to reboot, but suddenly i got a white screen.
I turned off a camputer by holding power button.
And after this i cant turn it on - i press power button, then a power led turns on and thats all, blink screen, no response.

Black screen on Satellite A100-712 after Bios update

I bought a new Satellite A100-712 and i did a bios upgrade, everything went well in windows and when the laptop got restarted it is stuck on the black toshiba screen which is displayed when we switch on the lapto.
Any suggestions please, I would be very thankfull

> i doubt toshiba didnt verify the drivers properly for all models
Sorry but I do not agree with you. BIOS update is very sensitive part of notebook upgrade and exactly there Toshiba must be 100% sure that everything works well. As I said in my previous posting I have updated BIOS on two WXP delivered A100 notebooks. One with number PSAA9E and other one with number PSAA2E. BIOS update on both units was successfully finished and I can confirm that offered BIOS on Toshiba download page is the right one.
Which model is your A100 (PSAxxx)? I have made BIOS update on PSAA9E because of VISTA OS installation. What is your reason for BIOS update on your A100?

How to install second hard drive in Satellite A200-1BW?

I see my new Satellite A200-1BW has two hard drive bays,on looking into the second bay I cannot see how a second drive can be fitted as the plug in socket appears to be missing.
What parts do i need to fit to fit a second drive as they are held in stock by my local computer outlet and are quite cheap,can anybody advise me on part numbers etc of the bits I need.
Thanks
Steve

Hi,
there are many different models of your machine on the market and some of them have a second drive, some of them not. If you bought a model with one drive then you will only be able to install ONE drive because your model was only intended to have one drive.
And even if you solder a connector to it or attach it in any other way then you dont know if the bios supports the second drive.
My suggestion on it: obtain a USB-HDD and store your data on that drive. Would be making more sense then spending a lot of time on investigation to find out that your mainboard is not able to handle a second drive.
Cheers

T400 died after BIOS flash

From windows (7 x64) I`ve tried to update the BIOS.
It was processing and after that it restarted itself unexpectedly.
Now after turning the notebook on it beeps twice and thats all.
Can`t see anything on the screen.
Tried to download the BIOS flash bootable CD, but unable to boot from that to repaire the BIOS.
I have warranty, but I think I will have to send the machine to another country(im in Hungary) for weeks, so I ask you as there maybe a solution for this...however I`ve `googled` for hours about this.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Just to give a positive feedback...

Re: Where can we buy a new screen for Satellite A200-1k8?

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if it is possible to buy a new screen (all the upper part in fact) for a Satellite A200-1k8 and where ??
I'm unable to find any information about that on the Toshiba website, so may you can help. ;)

Hello,
in fact I have already removed about twenty notebooks (ASUS, Toshiba, HP, MSI, IBM and Acer) and recovered to about half without problems and without a manual :D Note that the rest was not intended to be reassemble ;)
I do have some knowledge of hardware, but I never removed the plastic surrounding the slabs screens. There I am afraid to break the plastic, but hey we'll see :^0 And surfing along Seamey last link, I've found some nice tips for screen and inverter replacement. I give you what seems to be te most important tip: use a hard guitar pick.
I think I will order the new screen by the end of the week. I'll try to take some pics of the process and post it as feedback.
Thx everyone for your help/answers/tips :x
Mornichou
ps: any valuable information is still welcome
pps: as english is not my mother language, excuse me for the commited faults. I would be happy if you tell me which you've found the three most awful ;)

Satellite A200 freezess after 3-5 seconds

I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 notebook and it doesn't power on right.
The fan begins to turn, the power lite shines blue constantly. Then after 3-5 sekonds the fan stops and then the power lite starts to blink: Two times blue then two times red. And the Laptop freezzes. That might this blinking mean.
I thinks it's a parten for the problem. I have already cleared the bios, it doesn't help.
Removed the battery. Also removed the battery of the bios.
Can anyone help me to find out that does the blinking mean?

Hi!
This is really strange and I never heared about such an issue but in your case I would try to remove the CD/DVD drive and HDD and then try it again.
Have you external devices connected to the notebook i.e. LAN cable, mouse, keyboard or something else? If yes remove all and try it again.
In worst case you must contact an ASP and follow the link posted by Luke to find one.

HP Laptop. Blank screen and caps and num lock lights flashing.

Hi,
I hope you can help me.
My laptop is the HP Pavilion DV6-1216sa, bought new in September 2009. When I turn it on, I get a blank screen, the fan is working and the wifi, volume and mute lights light up. The caps lock and num lock lights flash together, once everyone 3 or 4 seconds. Normally when this happens (it has happened throughout the life of the laptop), I turn it off and turn it back on, and it works again. However this time, the problem persists. I've tried most combinations to get the bios screen up and I've tried getting it to another screen via hdmi and VGA, but no signal received. I have tried everything recommended by the HP support website. I have checked the battery, ram, and hard drive.
Best regards,
Jay

The best cheapest fix is if you can remove the motherboard your self and send it to a refabricator who will check all the chips on the motherboard and reball the bad ones. Cost is about $60-120, closer to the bottom if you can ship them just the board but if necessary they will take the whole laptop and remove the board for you.

Satellite A200-23U - Need Bios update for XP

Hi!
Where I can find BIOS update for this notebook for Windows XP?
Thanks.

> Is it possible install other similar BIOS for XP from the Toshiba American driver page? Are there some forecasts for appearance of BIOS XP update on the Toshiba European driver page?
I would not recommend installing different BIOS updates from different notebook series on the Satellite A200-23U.
The point is that a wrong BIOS or not compatible BIOS can damage the ROM module or the motherboard!!!
I would not risk this!!!
Fact is that you should update the BIOS only with the version which was designed and published especially for your notebook model.

Cooling behavior after BIOS Flash - Satellite Pro A300

Hello everybody,
I have two laptops, Satellite Pro A300 and Satellite A300. Both have the same configuration, C2D E8300,2GB,ATI 3650 512MB and so on.....
Today I flashed BIOS to the latest version (from V3.90 to V4.20) on both of them. On the version 3.90 cooling was OK, fan worked only when it was necessary. But now after flashing the BIOS fan works permanently, it does not stop.
What I did make, in Vista's Power Options under Toshiba Power Saver I changed the Cooling Method from Maximum Performance to Battery Optimized, the cooling reversed to the normal operation, but the cover (keyboard area) became hot a little bit.
My question is, what is the problem with cooling in the new version (v4.20)? And how to solve this problem?
Again, problem didn't exist before BIOS flashing and the problem is on both computers.
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Osman

Hi mate
Thanks for the feedback
> So what do you recommend me, to stay on Battery Optimized mode? Generally speaking, what's the difference between Maximum Performance and Battery Optimized modes in Power Saver?
Usually its advisable to use the Battery Optimized mode only when the AC adaptor is not connected to the notebook and the notebook uses only the battery power.
In such case the notebook does not waste the power using Battery Optimized mode and you could use the notebook much longer using battery only.
Using Battery Optimized mode the CPU and cooling modules run with lowest performance and the CPU does not create high heat dissipation.
This leads to a lower internal temperature and lower usage of cooling modules.

Satellite A200-1ZF wont start - flashing power led

Hi,
today my Satellite A200-1ZF laptop wouldn't start, instead my power led blinks orange-orange-blue-orange-orange -blue and so on and so on.
The HDD led turns blues when I turn the computer on and seems to work fine (I can hear the normal running sound from the HDD).
I tried removing the RAM module to see if there's a fault in one of the modules, no help. I tried removing the battery and running it only on ac power, also no help.
Anyone got any idea?

Hi
Im a little bit confused.
If I understand you right your notebook starts but display is black or how to understand you?

Neo2 not booting after BIOS flash

Darn - after upgrading to v1.3 BIOS, my Neo2 FIS2R won't boot.
I got a brand new set of components - new CPU, Neo2 FIS2R, and 1GB of Kingston HyperX PC3200 memory (22261T). I put everything in my system (Antec case, 400W P/S) and it booted fine with the v1.0 BIOS and I was able to install WinXP to my new 120GB SATA drive and my ATI9700Pro. Great - I know all my components work.
I install LiveBios and it shows me that v1.3 is out and enables MAT and DOT - the two features I bought the mobo for. So I download the latest via LiveBios, build the floppy (my system uses NTFS to boot) and reboot.
The BIOS flash process goes smoothly and I wait all the way to the end. I shut off the system and reboot - nothing, just a blank screen. So I shut it off, clear CMOS, and reboot again - still nothing. I try several more times, still nothing. However, recovery mode works so I reflash 1.3 a couple times to see if that will help, but it does not.
Finally, I build a floppy with v1.2 BIOS as the recovery BIOS and use recovery mode to load that. Still no go.
It is at this point that I discover and plug in those diags LEDs (I was using the onboard USB header to bring the USB ports to the front of the case) and find that it is stopping almost immediately at the 'early chipset identification' phase. Ouch. Oh, and at this point the BIOS recovery mode no longer works. Ouch.
Any thoughts? At this point I got an RMA number from the vendor and I'm thinking I'm just sending it back.

Unfortunately I can't even get to that phase - the system won't show the post splash screen or post at all. It just sits there blank (I know I wasn't clear on where the boot process was stopping - it doesn't even allow me to enter rom-based setup.)
So I'd love to set vdimm to something else, but I can't.

MSI Gaming 5 Z97 00 Error Code after Bios Flash

Was using a USB for bios flash through the uefi bios. I chose ME flash, and it flashed ME then rebooted and then flashed the bios and then it finally rebooted but to a black screen. After a few minutes, I restart the computer and it has an 00 error code now. I removed the graphics card and cleared the CMOS.

remove the power cord itself from the electrical outlet

Try with your second stick alone in the same DIMM slot.

98 error and black screen.
I know that this board has dual bios and it can swith between the two if one of them goes wrong. It have done that before then i was benching but now i can't get it to work...
Is my board just a paper weight now or is there something i can try to get it to switch to number 2 bios?

Is the BIOS blue LED blinking or solid? If no BIOS LED at all, then there is hope. Try & force to POST from the secondary by removing all the RAM except for a stick in the primary blue dimm slot. With power cord removed from the PSU, remove the battery for ahwile, clear CMOS, & test. If you had the Auto BIOS Update enabled before the failure, it should flash the primary. If not enabled, first thing if you can get in to BIOS is to enable Auto Update, shut down & restart & hope for the best.
