Re: Satellite A135-S7403 does not pass POST after BIOS update

Hello
I have A135-S7403, i know that it's old but i worked good until i install a new Bios version (1.90 for Satellite A130 (PSAD0U/PSAD3U) from the official Toshiba site(here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1854878& rpn=PSAD0U&modelFilter=&selCategory=3&selFamily=10 73768663).
Everything installed without any problems but when i restart laptop it doesn't start.
It freezes on screen with red inscription "In touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA" and i can do nothing.
What should i do? And why this official update broke down my computer?

Sounds like I'm having exactly that problem. Today I update the Bios of A135-S4477 with the official update download from toshiba support. Things works fine and the screen says smt like "sucessful... your pc will shutdown in 10 seconds" then I saw a small popup says smt like "if the keyboard or mouse doesn't work.... bla bla bla" I doesn't finish my reading when the whole system goes off but I think everything is ok at that time.
When I try booting up the system. It's freezed at the "in touch with toshiba". F2 or F12 cannot function. I had no choice but brought that to the local service, unfortunately they cannot fix it and they have to send it to another center in another city. Actually I don't know what happen to my laptop since I did follow the instruction of the official download. What are the cases that can happen? what is the worst case and what about the best case? how much will I be charged?
Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Satellite A series does not start up after BIOS update

    After bios update with downloaded utility my notebook does not start up.
    Did this case covered by warranty?

    Im not quite sure if this would be covered by warranty. You should contact the ASP in your country for details but I presume its not covered.
    PS: Did you try this workaround:
    - remove battery, disconnect the AC adaptor
    - wait ~ 40min
    - connect both devices again and try to power up the notebook

  • Satellite Pro A300-1DZ does not find HDD after BIOS update

    Hi everyone,
    I have recently purchased a secondhand Satellite Pro A300 1DZ.
    Put a fresh copy of Windows xp home on it.
    I then went on to install all the drivers needed from Toshiba's own site and at the end of this I thought it may be a good idea to update the bios????
    OH DEAR what a big mistake.
    Now the netbook will NOT start windows.
    So I thought thats ok I will just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but it is telling me it cannot find a hard disk on my netbook?
    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am going crazy,
    Could someone please tell me how to fix this? Thank you x

    Hi
    I think the option SATA mode has been set to AHCI and therefore the Windows XP cannot find the HDD.
    This is because of the SATA controller.
    You can set the SATA mode from AHCI mode to compatible mode and this will allows you to install the Win XP on the notebook without the usage of SATA drivers.
    So, youve got two options if you want to install Win XP:
    AHCI mode -> but you have to include SATA drivers
    Compatible mode -> Win XP installation possible without the SATA drivers

  • Vaio Flip does not turn on after BIOS update

    Hello Community, I'm using Sony Vaio Flip 13'' (SVF13N13CXB) for about a year.Yesterday I decided to upgrade my firmware to address noisy fan etc. So I got update utility from Sony website, launched it, got prompt to reboot my PC to continue upgrading process. After rebooting I got a Vaio logo and progress indicator rolling. After reching 66% it stuck. I waited for about an hour, there was no progress, so I had to power off my PC (hold power button for 5 seconds).Now when I try to power it on using Power or Assistance buttons, it will turn on the green led, fan starts making some noise, and thats it. Screen is blank. I searched throught this site, tried to press battery button at the bottom with clip, discunnecting/connecting power adater, etc, etc. Unfortunatelly nothing helps.I assume the BIOS is now corrupted (I may be wrong although). Please can you suggest how can I recover the firmware to factory state? Thank you, Vitalii

    Hi vetooon,
    Welcome to Sony Community!
    It looks like your laptop is already corrupted. Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot your computer.
    Power Cycle the computer by poking the battery reset hole [4] for about 15-20 mins with the laptop unplug. 
    2. Plug it back in then press the power button. If issue persist proceed to the next step .
    3. Press and hold the power button for 3-5 mins or until its completely off. 
    4. Press the "ASSIST" button. When you see the "Vaio care Rescue mode" page, select F2 to go to BIOS then reset it to default. 
    5. Go back to "Vaio care Rescue mode" page, we'll check if you have a Restore Point so we can go back to an earlier date. On step #7 instead of choosing the "Recovery and Maintain" choose the Advance Option, then choose the current operating system of your pc (ex. Windows 8) 
    6. If issue still persist then click on this link and follow the instructions carefully. Please take note that on this process you will go back to factory setting and all the files will be deleted. You can seek the assistance of a professional technician to retrieve your files.
    I hope this helps you.

  • Satellite M30-107 does not boot correctly after Recovery disk usage

    Hi
    I've recently got hold of a second hand toshiba Satellite M30-107 laptop, and decided to freshen it up.
    I used the toshiba recovery disk, but after doing so the laptop no longer loads windows.
    When turned on it shows the Toshiba start up disk for about a second then goes to a blank screen and freezes.
    When turned off and on again a screen comes up reporting an error in shutting down and gives the options to start in safe mode etc. but choosing any of the options causes the machine to freeze.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    jt

    Hi
    Sounds a little bit like the notebook does not boot due to the Windows software issue
    Did you recover the M30 with the original Toshiba recovery CD which was supplied with this M30 unit?
    Maybe Im wrong but for me it looks like a wrong recovery CD was used and an image with non compatible drivers was installed
    You could try to install the OS from original Microsoft Win XP CD and could check if it would be possible to get the notebook ruining using clean OS.
    In such case we ( you and me ;) ) could find out if this issue could be related to the software or hardware.
    Bye

  • Satellite A100-TA7 hangs at POST after BIOS update

    Being kind of tech swavy, i know my chances are very low in fixing this but here goes.
    I decided to update the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite A100-TA7(PSAA8C-TA702C) laptop to the latest version available (6.00).
    I did this because I've heard of people have better luck in making their FN keys work in linux with the newer BIOS.
    The installation finished normally(went through all the steps, wrote all 21 blocks) without any errors but after rebooting I noticed that it now hangs at the Toshiba logo screen.
    The blue progress bar moves twice but then gets stuck about 1/3 of the way through.
    In order to see how bad the damage was, I pressed esc at the beginning of POST and saw that it gives me the right BIOS Version (6.00).
    It also tells me that "No TPM or TPM has problem", and "2039M System RAM Passed."
    It then displays the message "Press <F2> to enter SETUP" (which makes the message disappear, but otherwise does nothing.
    If i press f2 during the Toshiba logo screen, it replaces the message at the bottom with "Please wait" and nothing happens even after waiting an hour.
    (Which makes sense because before the whole blue bar would load before going into the CMOS settings). The thing is that the BIOS doesn't really "freeze", It just gets stuck at one specific place (I know this because i can press F2 even after waiting an hour and the laptop does respond to it by displaying "Please Wait".
    Anyone have any more things i could try? Thank you
    PS. I tried clearing the CMOS too. (By holding the power button for like 60 seconds without any power source <--- I'm not sure if this is how you do it on this laptop so any info would be nice). And I'm also 100% sure i chose the right BIOS update and followed every single instruction.

    Hello Greg
    I am very happy to hear you have solved this BIOS issue but I must react because of some your statements here. I do not have timet to do some research but let us write about some facts. I use Toshiba notebooks over 10 years now and I think I can say that I am pretty experienced with all this stuff.
    Toshiba sold hundred thousand laptops and I can really not imagine that this can be some common problem because, I presume, all offered stuff on download page is tested. If 0.5% cases are the same it does not mean there is general problem. What you think how many people use the same BIOS update as you? I guess thousands of them.
    About Linux support I can say the same as Eldorado. Sorry but I am afraid you do not understand what the support is. Just some facts:
    Toshiba does not offer drivers for Linux OS
    Toshiba does not offer tools and utilities for Linux
    Toshiba does not offer BIOS for Linux
    Toshiba does not test anything relevant for Linux functionality (very important for support)
    With short words: there is nothing for Linux. If you can install Linux successfully and use it without problems you are very lucky guy and be happy, but there is definitely no support.
    If you exchange experiences with other people it is really good and you should do this in the future but if you hear something and later something goes wrong it is your problem.
    At the end I can say that this is user-to-user forum and you should be happy if someone here want to discuss about your problem and try to help. If you are not satisfied with comments or opinions it is your problem and if you want professional opinion you know very well where you can get it.
    Have a nice day.

    Hi buddy,
    You should check the forum content or with other words, use the forum search firstly before you ask something. Failed BIOS update is not unusual and can happen always. The forum contains already a lot threads about this and the only solution is contacting an ASP. The guys have professional tools to recover it.

  • Satellite A660 - Camera device failed to initialize after BIOS update

    I bought a Satellite A660 PSAW3A-07P00R last December. Yesterday I updated to BIOS version 1.9 (did not record what version before the update). Running Windows 7 Home Premium.
    After the update, I got this message when I want to use the built-in webcam. The message is "Camera device failed to initialize. Either the device is in use by another application, or it is not recognized by the system." I have tried to open the device manager but cannot find any image or camera device there. I have also download the webcam application version 1.1.1.15 from Toshiba site but it does not install.
    Is it any way to revert the BIOS back to the old version? Can Toshiba look at this problem for BIOS version 1.9? Has any one come across with this and finally fix it? Your suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Will

    Hi
    Only the ASP can revert the BIOS to early version because they could reflash the BIOS using the BIOS DOS-rational BIOS.
    But the point is that if you are using the right BIOS, then the webcam should work properly in connection with the new update.
    So I agree with Xardas. You should set the BIOS to default settings and should save the changes before you would leave the BIOS.
    Then uninstall the webcam software and disable also some background processes which could lock the webcam. This can be done in msconfig.
    I would also recommend cleaning the registry using the CCLeaner who knows whats is going wrong with the OS registry so CCleaner helps you to clean the registry entries.
    After several reboots, you could try to install the webcam software once again.
    Good luck

  • G530-4446-24U takes FOREVER to POST after BIOS update

    Hey,
    I just installed Win7 Pro 64-bit a couple of hours ago and lost the ability to adjust my screen brightness.  After installing chipset and power management drivers I still had no luck.  So I updated the BIOS with this file. 
    Now it all works well once I'm booted into Win7, but it takes a very long time to POST when I push the power button.  I haven't timed it, but it seems to be over 60 seconds before I have anything displayed on my screen.  When it does start POST, it works fine at the expected speed.  It also restarts when attempting to wake from sleep, and the same problem as mentioned above applies as it must POST again.
    Is there a more appropriate BIOS update for my machine, or is this a terrible bug that must be worked out?
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I couldnt flash either from Windows 7 pro x64. I ended up using BartsPE to run the flashing program. I dont have the speed issue, it boots up with the same speed it always did. you should make sure you used the right BIOS. i had the problem once, but it seems to be working now. I still havent gotten the Brightness to work though.
    as for the "Cannot load driver C:\Drivers\BIOS\6get18ww\PHLASHNT.SYS.  Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator privilige, please login again! This driver has been blocked from loadingError code: 1275"  message, this is because it uses a 32 bit driver.

    Okay, i'm able to get into vista with four gigs, six gigs causes it to reset at crcdisk.sys, and it seems to boot with 8. It seems that some setting got tripped in the BIOS update, Looks like this was some spirit of spontaneity prevalent in so many computers. Thanks for the help!
    you are welcome, next time please do not touch the BIOS when everythink is working fine. and don't update BIOS only because its a new one.. read here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103441.0
    also 1.5 are known as problematic one for most of K9A owners...
    "Okay, i'm able to get into vista with four gigs, six gigs causes it to reset at crcdisk.sys, and it seems to boot with 8."
    that is normal, issues can be expected when using 3 memory sticks. recommended are 2 memory sticks, other working combination 1 or 4 memory sticks.(but 3 memory sticks are not recommended.)
    also its a good idea to check memory for errors with Memtest86, to ensure that they are working correctly without errors.
