Re: Satellite A200-1AX doesn't boot after BIOS update

Hello all!
I wanted to install XP on a Satellite A200-1AX.
So I tried to update the Bios to the version that supports XP.
When I tried to install it, Vista crashed and now the laptop won't even turn on.
When I keep the power button pressed, the fan wheezes but nothing else happens.
I think the BIOS is gone or corrupted.
What do I do?
Thanks in advance for any help!

> When I keep the power button pressed, the fan wheezes but nothing else happens. I think the BIOS is gone or corrupted. What do I do?
What to say buddy. Looks like something went wrong during the BIOS update procedure Possibly the BIOS was not written correctly and the ROM module must be flashed again using a special procedure and tool.
In such case you can do nothing you have to contact the ASP in your country for a fix!!!
Dont waste a time and ask an authorized service technician for a help.
Good luck and best regards

Satellite Pro L300 will not boot after Bios update

Help please.
I have just formated a Satellite Pro L300 laptop.
I used all the updated drivers from Toshiba and all went very well.
I then updated the bios with the latest version.
After doing this the laptop will not boot but just keeps scrolling through the start menu and no matter what option I choose it just keeps doing the same thing.
Any ides welcome

Hi
I used the Microsoft installation disk but just keep getting to the same stage until the blue screen appears. I have tried different installation disks and also changed the hard drives as well. I can do everything in bios, change boot device enable or disable devices but that is it. I have tried a few times to instal windows but it just stops at the same point saying windows is stopping instal to protect the system. I fear the bios update has done some permanent damage as I cant get past the dreaded blue screen.Thanks anyway

Comp doesn't boot after bios update

I flashed the new 1.90 bios using winflash on my K8N Neo2 Platinum, after the reboot my comp screen didn't turn on and ventilators stayed at max rpm.
I tried clearing CMOS (i know it can't do anything but it's worth trying) and using another stick of ram (PC4000 on hynix chips that can do cl3, my BH5 doesn't boot on cl 3)
but nothing helped.
Is there a way of reverting to the older BIOS?

Well it's hard to flash back to an earlier bios if your system don't post .
What you can do is to shut off system , remove +5vsby by turning off PSU .
Then remove all devices except the neccesary cpu/memory/gfx card/floppy drive (specially disconnect all USB ,including usb mouse/usb kb )
After having it barebone , reset cmos with the jumper (min 15.secs to be sure) .
Connect the power and see if it posts with a normal PS2 keyboard and no mouse.
If it does you can flash back with a msdos bootable floppy with awfl833d.exe and the bios file on it .

X121e doesn't boot after BIOS update

Hello everybody,
I am experiencing following problem with my Lenovo X121e Laptop.
After suffering problems with the Fn-keys on my Laptop, I yesterday decided to give it a shot and upgrade my BIOS for 1.06 to 1.11. I downloaded the BIOS update package from the Lenovo website and startet flashing using WinFlash. Flash progress went fine, ending in the WinFlash shutting down and innitiating a reboot. After Windows had shut down, the Display remained black, not giving me a chance even to reach the BIOS.
I have already tried to start up the Laptop without AC and battery pack, but no change. Even tried to hold the power button for about 60 seconds when having the Laptop disconnected from AC and battery, nothing.
Can anybody tell me what happend to my X121e and how I can get it working again ? Or is it a case for warranty now ? I
Thanks for helpful answers in advance.

Satellite L40 (PSL48E) - Doesn't reboot after BIOS update

Hi,
My problem is that I update the BIOS and after that the machine does not restart. ( BIOS corrupt ? )
After the BIOS update (Satellite L40 PSL48E) the machine reboot and with the F2 key I open the BIOS setup.
I check the BIOS version ( 5.50 ) and exit the BIOS setup.The machine must be reboot now.....
No Way, the machine does not restart . No screen only the powerled lights-up.
Is there anything I can to fix it on my own like a BIOS reset ?
Thank you for cooperation.

This is strange because after the BIOS update you could go into the BIOS.
However, try to remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor. Wait one hour and then put the battery in and connect the AC/DC adaptor. Try it again.
If it doesnt work there is something wrong with the BIOS or hardware and should be checked by a notebook technician.

Satellite C660D-104 does not boot after BIOS update

Hello,
I installed the latest bios on my computer Satellite C660D-104 but it has not rebooted.
Where is the place to do a reset?
Under the ram I have no triple x or B499
I can not find, can you help me please?
Thanks,

BIOS update failed this means that ROM module (where the BIOS is stored) isnt flashed properly.
As far as I know such issue could be resolved by flashing the ROM module again using Toshiba BIOS crisis disk.
I guess Toshiba authorized service provider own such crisis disk and could reflash the ROM

Satellite A200: Some devices stoped working after BIOS update

I recently updated my BIOS to V2.60 on my Sat A200
but ever since i apdated the BIOS some of the hardware components stoped working.
So i decided to use the product recovery CD but it wont work anymore.
Each time during its loading stage the system crashes and i get a blue screen mentioning a file called CLFS.SYS as the root of the problem
Is there a solution for my problem?

Hi
What Sat A200-xxx do you have exactly?
From my experience there are different BIOS versions for different operating system.
The Vista and XP needs different BIOS!
But I wonder why the Toshiba recovery disk does not function anymore? ?:|
Usually you should be able to recover the system no matte what BIOS has been installed.
Did you try to format the HDD firstly using another disk for example like Win XP?
Check this!
I think you should format the HDD again and then should try to recover the notebook using the Recovery disk

Satellite A200-1AX: very grainy videos after Win 7 installation

Hello.
I have a toshiba Satellite A200-1ax and it use to have Vista when i got it.
I got rid of the OS and installed XP, thous installing the BIOS update for XP.
I've recently installed Win7 and everything is good. The only problem i have is with video files.
Every thing i watch is very grainy.
I've installed some codecs and the catalyst for Win7 beta and thing's got a bit better. Still pixelized though.
But HD video files don't work at all. It's the same as having a video card that doesn't support HD.
The audio races ahead of the video.
I haven't changed anything with the BIOS.
Could the problem be from there? Should i run the BIOS update for vista?

I use ti have Xp on the laptop and the same videos where great. Now they are grainy.
HD doesn;t work properly.
That's the only problem with this OS...
Use to have vista, but i don;t want to go back to those memories :D
PS - i gave the copy of win7 to a friend, he installed it and the videos are OK with him.

Satellite L300 - webcam doesn't work after BIOS upgrade

I recently upgraded BIOS to 2.2 and the webcam has stopped working. It disappeared and there is one unknown device in the device manager in the universal serial bus controller.
I tried everything even with new clean fresh Vista OS but nothing like there is no webcam I installed the drivers but not recognized so I would like if I can to downgrade BIOS to 1.5 and to fix the webcam. If I can cos I need it. Is that possible?
Tnx

Hi
I dont think its BIOS issue.
First of all the unknown device (webcam) appears in the device manager and this means that an device has been recognized by system and BIOS.
The only reason why its listed as unknown devices is: the driver is not installed properly.
After BIOS update you have to set the BIOS back to default. Access BIOS pressing F2 and within the BIOS you can use the button F9 to set it to default and F10 to save the changes.
After that you should boot up the unit and should go to device manager.
Mark the unknown device and delete it from the list (if possible)
Go to control panel -> software and check the software list for webcam software (from chicony). Uninstall this software if its part of the list.
Now reboot the notebook.
Clean the OS using CCleaner and install the correct webcam software for Vista. Note: please pay attention to 32bit or 64bit version.
If the installation would fail, try the Toshiba recovery disk and set the notebook back to factory settings.
By the way: BIOS downgrade is not possible because the old BIOS is not downloadable.

Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E doesn't boot after XP BIOS update

Hi there, I need some help!!!
just recieved laptop, tested all ok with Vista business and everything works fine.
Now i have a requirement to test a build for a duel boot XP laptop and followed the enclosed instructions for changing the BIOS to enable me to install XP.
Re-started the laptop with the bios disk, selected the XP bios and all seems ok.
The phone rings, i answer. When i finish I look back at laptop and screen is white.
Leave it for 20 mins still white. Turn off laptop and restart, no tosh splash screen, nothing.
Now will not boot, so what do i need to do to get this thing working again???

Hi buddy...
That looks very bad! :( it look like something went wrong during the BIOS update procedure and therefore the notebook cannot boot correctly.
Hopefully only the ROM module must be flashed again.
This can be done only by an authorized service provider!
I don't see any other solution as to contact the ASP in your country and to ask for the help and further handling.
Good luck and best regards

Re: Satellite A200-1K7 - Doesn't boot with 4GB RAM

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade to 4GB of RAM. According to the manual my Satellite A200 1k7 does support up to 4GB of ram.
However, if I place two 2GB modules the computer won't turn on. Either one of the 2GB modules on it's own works fine but the two of them together won't work.
The power light turns on, the harddisk whirs and then goes quiet. Nothing happens, not even a BIOS screen.
My BIOS is up to date. I am using windows Vista 32 bits.
The memory modules I use are both SO-DIMM DDR2 PC2-5300 667 Mhz.
Please help!

Im not sure but as far as I know the Satellite A200-1K7 has an Intel 943GML chipset that supports 2GB max.
So you should check which chipset you have. For this you can use PC Wizard 2008 (http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php).
If you have an other chipset I think the modules are not compatible and so you need other modules.

Satellite A50 doesn't function after BIOS update

Hi All,
I tried flashing my BIOS through windows as recommended on my Laptop Manufacturer (Toshiba) website. I guess the process went wrong as after 2 hours still the message "Do not interrupt" was getting displayed. I had to force power off my PC. Now it is not booting up.
The Laptio is Toshiba SA50-114, Satellite series.Model No - PSA50E
I have tried suggestions in following link
http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSu...200%2035586212
However, this did not work.
However, I don't have the recovery disk tool and BIOS/ROM file. Have tried searching on internet, but with no results.
Can someone please help me with
1. How can I perform the BIOS update to get my PC running back.
2. Point me to links where I can find the files in the above link.
Many Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Parag

> 1. How can I perform the BIOS update to get my PC running back.
Not possible if your BIOS ROM module was wrong flashed.
If you are a lucky man then only the ROM module must be flashed again using an special procedure. But this can be done only by an authorized service provider in your country.
> 2. Point me to links where I can find the files in the above link.
There is no link! You will have to ask the ASP for the help.
Bye

Pavilion g6t wont boot after bios update now just black screen please help!

I downloaded an update for the bios for my pavilion g6t-1d00 laptop running windows 7 64 bit. It started acting kind of funny but I didnt think anything of it til I tried to boot it up the next day and all I got was a black screen and a orange led light on the f12 button for the internet and the caps lock button after blinking afew times started the dredded two times every couple of seconds. I tried the windows key+B key power key, no luck. I cant access anything because I have no monitor and I'm at my wits end. I refuse to wipe my hard drive and start over even if I could! I cant access hp tools or manager or anything, please someone has to have a solution!

@Fuschia4me,
1.       You will have to use another computer
2.       Access the HP.com site with the BIOS updates available here is the link
3.       You want to select the F.36 BIOS version
4.       When you click on the update then click download and it will ask you to save or run, you want to save to a flash drive
5.       Once done insert the flash drive into your laptop
6.       Turn the computer on and press the windows and B key like before
If the process doesn’t work the first time I would try at least 2 more times.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks
