Re: Qosmio X870-15D - Impossible to access the BIOS

Hello everyone,
I've got my Qosmio X870-15D Win8 64 bits for 5 days now and since 2 days I can't access to the BIOS (6.30) as I could the first days ; and yet, I didn't put any password
Please, any idea to fix that problem ?

Thank you for answering Pedro !
In fact, the laptop ignores my pressing on F2 key while powering and directly boots on Win8, let's say 19 times out of 20 ; right now, I succeeded to enter the BIOS (don't know why this time) and changed system settings to boot on CD or USB key. So I hope I can access back to the BIOS so I can change back the settings to boot on W8 to perform what you kindly adviced.
I'll tell you more a.s.a.p.

    You have encounter Activation Lock, the antitheft feature of the iPhone. The previous owner did not remove the phone from their account. The phone cannot be used until they do. Return to the store and let them sort this out. It is very unusual for someone to "forget" to disable activation lock, as it is necessary to do so to erase personal information on the phone. So it is quite likely you bought a stolen phone.

  • Can't boot into Windows 8 Single Language 64 bit or access the BIOS screen with the F1 key

    I have in my possession right now a Lenovo E49, Model name: 3464
    I am unable to access the BIOS settings at POST by pressing the F1 key.  Neither does it respond to the Enter key when it displays the message "To interrupt normal startup, Press Enter".  I am also unable to boot into the installed OS Windows 8 Single Language 64 bit.
    For your informtion, these are the events that led to this issue.
    I accessed the BIOS settings at startup using the CHANGE PC SETTINGS option in the CHARMS menu in Windows 8 Single Languge 64 bit followed by GENERAL and ADVANCED STARTUP.  Then I chose Restart Now.  Windows restarted to produce the startup screen where I chose Troubleshoot, followed by Advanced Options and UEFI Firmware Settings, followed by Restart.  This took me to the BIOS settings screen. Once there I changed the boot settings in BIOS so that SECURE BOOT was turnned OFF.  It was in ON state prior to that.  I also changed the BOOT MODE to LEGACY ONLY.  I also changed the BOOT ORDER to boot from DVD drive first followed by the Hard Disk and USB Hard Disk.  I saved the changes by pressing F10.
    Now the computer is able to boot from the DVD Drive.  I tested this by inserting a Windows 7 Repair DVD and also a Linux Live DVD.  Mind you, I didn't mke any changes to the Hard Drive.  I'm also able to boot from a USB Hard Disk.  This too was tested by inserting a bootable USB HD that had both Windows 7 and Windows 8 OS installers.  I used only the command prompt feature in the Repair option on the Windows 8 installer to ensure that I could access the partitions on the HD.  I did not in any way install Windows 7 or 8 on the HD.
    If there is no bootable DVD or USB HD inserted, the laptop is involved in a loop that restarts followed by a message that says the following:
    "Intel Undi, PXE-2.1 (build 083)
    Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
    This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:
    US5, 307, 459,  US5, 434, 872,  US5, 732, 094,  US6, 570, 884,  US6, 115, 776 and US6, 327, 625
    Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Series v2.41 (06/08/11)
    PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM."
    I am positive that the current state of the BIOS is such that it does not accept any input keys like F1 and F12 at POST so that the BIOS can only be accessed through Change PC Settings in Windows 8 as I had done prior to the occurence of the issue.  Since I cannot boot up Windows 8 I cannot use this method to access the BIOS.  And since it is not possible at this stage to access the BIOS settings through the F1 key, I believe Lenovo must have surely provided another alternative to enter the BIOS.  Can you kindly tell me what other way is there to do this.  In earlier days, one could reset the BIOS by shorting the BIOS through pins on the motherboard.  Is that possible now?  Or is there some Lenovo BIOS utilily that enables me to change the BIOS setting to boot with Legacy and UEFI?  Or do I have to install Windows 8.1 64 bit in Legacy mode?

    I'll see if another member of the team can jump in here and offer more help...
    What I might imagine is that you can only access BIOS from a cold boot. Windows 8/8.1 have hybrid shutdown and don't completely shut down the machine normally, so even when it powers off, it isn't fully off and the next boot is not really a cold boot.
    Please see this KB.  I realize this assumes you can get into windows.
    As you suggest, it also seems as though you have set legacy vs UEFI and that may be why your drive is not currently booting.   Can you remove the battery on your system?  If not, is there a reset hole on the bottom?  Removing battery and AC and pressing and holding the power button several times, then re-attach AC and Battery and try to restart and press F1 to get into BIOS.  (Not familiar with models that use enter for BIOS).

  • Satellite 1400-103: Cannot access the BIOS Setup

    I'm having problems getting into the BIOS setup. At the 1st bootup screen I press ESC key then message appears Check system. Then press F1 key. Once key is pressed it doesn't take me to BIOS setup and laptop reboots. Any help will be much appreciated.
    James

    No it doesn't. There is a problem with the OS and I was gonna do a repair using an XP disk. I have been trying to boot from cd rom by pressing C button and I've also tried pressing F12 key to change boot device. The teacher whose laptop it is has put a bios password on bootup but I'm assuming this shouldn't affect bootup or accessing the bios setup. I'm not sure if it's a supervisor password or administrator password.

  • Accessing the BIOS - Post Windows 7 Install

    After I installed Windows 7 I lost the ability to access the BIOS through pressing the Lenovo Care button. How do I retain this ability?  This is on a Lenovo SL500 Thinkpad.
    Message Edited by Emanuel on 06-16-2009 10:09 AM

    Hi Emanuel:
    Have you installed the "System Interface Driver" from the Lenovo Windows 7 beta downloads page?  I think that this is the driver that enables the blue Lenovo button.
    If that doesn't work, you can still access the BIOS setup by tapping on the F1 key while the computer is starting up.

  • Tip to Access The BIOS from HP ENVY Laptops

    I have seena a number of posts that advocate pressing Esc or F10 while restarting to access the Bios to make changes...
    But this does NOT Work on the Latest HP ENVY Laptop Models ....
    This Post is Not a Question as Such but a Share as I Figured out HowTo Do it !!
    You could perhaps use this way to get at the BIOS on any Windows 8 0r 8.1 System ...
    From Windows 8 0r 8.1 ---
        Go to PC Settings
            -- Select Update & Recovery
                      Select Recovery
                           -- Go to Advanced Startup
                                  Click Restart Now
       Let the System Restart,
              It will bring up the Windows TroubleShooter Screen --
                   -- Select Troubleshoot PC
                            --Select Advanced options
                                    Select UEFI Firmware Settings
       And Voila !! Whew it seems like a lot of effort when verbalised here ... but it is not so bad,
           once you have done it a couple of times, and can just go Click Clik to get there ...
       This SURE Works when NONE of the F-Keys Work !!!

  • How to access the BIOS on Satellite A500-1G2

    Hi
    Could you tell me how do you enter the BIOS. I have A500-1G2 laptop. I've upgraded the Bios and i can't get in. Please help me.
    Czarek

    Hi
    You can access the BIOS pressing F2 button immediately after the notebook has been powered up (after power button has been pressed).
    You can press F2 several time to be 100% sure that this worked

  • Qosmio X870-15D and Win8.1 - popup message "Flash Cards Test Version"

    Hi eveyone !
    Since I updated my X870-15D native Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, I get a popup message telling : "+*TOSHIBA Flash Cards*+ (title) +*Win8-TestVersion*+" and two buttons "OK" and "Cancel", each time I boot up ; whatever button I clic, the popup disappears
    How can I get rid of that irritating popup please ?

    You could try to uninstall the applications from Win 8.1 system but Im not quite sure if this would be helpful.
    Fact is that Win 8.1 upgrade should be done using special step by step instruction. In case you will not follow this instruction, some software parts might not work properly.
    By the way: In case you have problem only with the Flash Cards Support Utility, I would recommend you to uninstall this Flash Cards Support Utility (also called TOSHIBA Function Key Utility) from the system. After notebook reboot, download the TOSHIBA Function Key Utility for Win 8.1 and install it again.

  • Re: Tecra M11 cannot access the BIOS

    I have a brand new Tacra M11-11L machine. I have set a password on the BIOS but cannot now access it at all. When I switch it on I get the Toshiba splash screen, i press the escape key and am presented with a little note saying "F2 for Setup". I press F2 and the screen goes blank, i get a underling cursor flash three times at the top of the screen and then it boots into windows. I need to change a setting that is not covered by HWSetup. I can get into HWSetup with my password but it is not use to me!

    Hi
    Try firstly *INS* button and then *F2* button
    In my case this worked!

  • Re: Qosmio G20 blocked on JBOD in the BIOS

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the Toshiba Qosmio G20-109 .
    The system does not start, the two hard drives in JBOD (unable to start Windows).
    HDD1 - 120GB
    HDD2 - 250GB
    So I wanted to put the first HDD 1 1RAID-0 using the method described in the manual : I entered the code 1 2 3 4 and I pressed Enter.
    The problem is that once entered the BIOS code remained frozen and blocked.
    I tried everything , I 'm not despairing by reaching install an OS.
    I hope there is a solution.

    It's simple.
    1RAID-0: HDD 1
    JBOD: HDD 2
    DVD Drive does not boot a modified Windows. I had an official version that starts but does not have the driver.
    I created a CD with the driver using nLite but he did not recognize.
    I found on the internet a CD Win XP SP3 Toshiba OEM.
    Miraculously, he possessed the RAID drivers and recognized the hard drives that allowed me to install Windows.
    I installed Windows on the HDD 1 and I just formatted the HDD 2.
    Thereafter, I installed Windows 7 with the driver.
    Toshiba RAID: 1.11.17
    Toshiba RAID Virtual Device: 1.1.0.0
    I updated the firmware of the DVD drive : D100> D101> D102 it allowed me to start the CD created with nLite.
    All drivers are up to date for Windows 7.
    Only the buttons to the TV does not work (touch keys) !!
