Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

Hi.
Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
bios-20070709111839.zip
After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
Thanks in advance
MAT

What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
Good luck
Greetings

I can't activate windows 8.1 pre-installed on my Toshiba E45-B4200 after BIOS Update

I bought Toshiba laptop Model E45-B4200, at first time I could activate windows 8.1 like a charm.
Few months later Windows 8.1 has crashed, so I did clean install of pre-installed windows, no problem so far. Toshiba Application installer app has downloaded BIOS update, so I ran it.
I tried to activate windows after BIOS update, but it didn`t work. No error message, but Change PC settings window just got minimized every time that I tried to click on Activate Windows option. I thought that I did some mistake, so I repeated windows reinstallation, and same problem occurred again.
Now I can`t update Windows, Office 2013, and so on.
I`ve tried SLUI 4 command to force activation by phone, but it didn`t work as well.
I read on MS blogs that windows 8.1 stores product key on MSDM table, windows should be activated normally. Now I got no options now, can you help me?

It shouldn't need to be activated it. Everything should be automatic. Because it's asking you, that's already indicative of a problem. You might want to call customer support.

Satellite A100-192 (PSAA9E) FN+F8 key not working after updating BT driver

I've just download the update for the Bluetooth driver "blt-mon-20071009150856" and install the "BtMon2Inst_v212" driver on my A100-192 (PSAA9E). after the installation of "Toshiba Bluetooth 4" driver the BT works fine.
BUT I can't use the wireless key (FN+F8) anymore to switch between Bluetooth and the Wireless device. I can disable/enable them only from the control panel or the ConfigFree utility.
Any idea how to bring the FN key back to life?
tnx.

>I have just check a strange thing - when the WLAN switch is off, if I press the FN+F8 it >DOES respond and telling me that "Wireless communication is disabled, Please turn on >the wireless communication switch" all the other FN keys works.
Described issue is definitely not strange. It is logic that you can not switch between WLAN/BT if the hardware is disabled. This function is the same for years and the same happen on all older notebooks.
I have two notebooks and both with WLAN/BT and if the WLAN driver and BT stack are preinstalled properly there should not be any problems. If the WLAN switch is set to ON you should be able to use both devices. Check also options in ConfigFree

Satellite L655-S5150 Poor connection to wireless on Battery after BIOS update.

Hi Folks, New to the Forum. Sorry if this was previously covered; however need help.
Brand new Satellite L655-S5150. Updated BIOS and Eco via Toshiba Bulletin board a few days ago and have experienced wireless connection cutting in and out. Noticed it only happens while on battery power. Tried changing driver power options with no luck(I did not restart after making this change) and then changed back to default. Is there a fix for this? Should I roll back BIOS? Should I return for another PC?
Any help is appreciated.
Alex
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not sure what is going on? I have the same laptop. I have flashed my BIOS twice. I am not sure what to say. I have never had any kind of problems with anything. I bought a Cissco ethernet router that handles all bands. I hooked the router up to comcast turned the laptop on and all was done. Get this, then I bought a LexMark 3 all in one printer. Set it up turned it on and started printing with no cables used, wireless. Deal is I have been working with computers for 20 years. The other deal, if I am not infront of the computer that is having problems it is hard for me to tell what is going on. I just don't get it. You should be able to plug it in and go for it. If you have questions I will do my best to answer them. Maybe if I can talk one through it it can be passed on.

Satellite L450 (PSLY0E) - black screen after BIOS update

It seems like I have "bricked" my laptop during a bios utdate gone bad...black screen, as suspected :o /
The laptop is a Toshiba satellite L450 (PSLY0E)
The new bios image is named "bwaa150a.rom"
Anyone knows if it is possible to recover the bios from flashdrive or floppy, using some sort of recovery toolfrom inside the bios chip? ...or something?
Anyone knows who is the manifacturer of this bios?
If I have to rename the bios image during a recovery, what shoult it be named?

Well, I've just brought my bios back to life... :)))
I used the "wincrisis" available from wincrisis.1.0.0.4
Basically I followed the instructions in the download above to create a recovery usb-flash.
Then downloaded the correct bios, renamed the "rom-file" to "BIOS.WPH", and copied it to the usb-flash.
Then I disconnected both the battery and the power connection cable on the bricked laptop.
While pushing down the "F-key" on the keyboard, I reconnected the power cable and powered on with the power button, holding down the "F-key" *all the way till the laptop powered down by itself* after 2-3 minuets.
Then, powered up the laptop normally...voil, running normally, with the newest bios... :)))

Satellite L455D-S5976 - blue screen after BIOS update

fan wasnt operating properly causing overheat so updated bios,
see here
[http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=67086&tstart=0]
and now i am blue screening (it flashes extremely quickly) just as the windows xp screen on booting appears. keeps doing over and over, please help.
*edit,*
incidentally as the bios started updating the fan immediately picked up speed. strange.

So you are not able to access BIOS???
Press F2 immediately (press it many times in the row) after notebook has been power on
But if you are not able to access the BIOS, I assume that there is a serious problem with BIOS/hardware possibly something went wrong during the updatebut usually this should not happen and its sounds strange
However, I think in such case just an ASP technician would help you.

PLEASE HELP!! MY Toshiba L300 Laptop has black screen after Bios update

Hi, I was looking on Toshiba's website last night for an updated driver/software to fix my windows update which was not working. Whilst looking I had a message pop up saying Bois out of date and there was an updated verion, so I clicked update for my specific laptop, thinking that will be better. A window come up saying do not switch off. The the screen froze, and I could not do anything whilst it slowly updated, then the screen went black and remained that way for a considerable amount of time. I tried rebooting the laptop, it turns on, but bios will not load, the screen just remains black. Can anyone please help me, why would an update be on Toshiba's offical website if it does this?
Laptop: Toshiba L300-25G
Model: PSLB8E-0PG007EN
Serial: 59328582Q

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.

>and i mean clear cmos in doing a short in something near to ram or change jumber ... like Desktop clear cmos
This is not possible for notebook boards
>lol , i send it to a specialist one .... tell me my current BIOS ChIP got damage by flashing it and interrupted flashing procedure ...... is that true???
Could be possible that the ROM module is damaged but in most cases the usage of BIOS crisis disk could solve this issue and as far as I know the Toshiba authorized service provider would be able to do that.

Satellite Pro P100 GPU Fan off or full speed after Bios-update to 4.20

Hello,
after installing the brandnew Bios-update 4.20 the GPU fan is when the notebook is cool off. While working with it the GPU temperature rises up to 100C (very very hot), then the fan begins to run on medium speed and the GPU cools down. After a restart, eg. next day, the fan always runs on medium or high speed (very noisy!!). With the the bios version before this problem didn't appear.
Has someone the same problem with his notebook?
Did anyone have the Bios-update before 4.20 and can send it to me???

Hi all,
I've got a similar problem. After updating the BIOS of my SP P100 (PSPAHE) to 4.2 on of the fans runs constantly. I was very astonished about the WinPhlash Software anyway: I just wanted to see what it looks like, and it started updating BIOS virus-like automatically without any message or confirmation etc.
With the first reboot I got a bluescreen immediately after Vista started booting. With the following reboot, the system started properly - everything seemed to be ok. Since then the system obviously can't control the fan anymore.
The bluescreen-error is reproduceable - it occurs after each trial. I already tried to update BIOS with a freshly installed Vista (Recovery DVD) bfore installing a single problem - same result.
I only see 2 possibilities to perhaps solve the problem: hopefully a re-downgrade to 4.0 can successfully be done. Second possibility would perhaps be to remove Vista and install XP instead hoping that the BIOS update doesn't hang up then.
Unfortunately, the previous BIOS version is not on the support pages. . If anyone gets hold of it pls. post here.

Re: Satellite C55-A-1JL - fan running at high speed after BIOS update

Hello,
I' ve upgraded BIOS from 1.20 to 1.40, and my computer started to restart automaticly after few minutes. the fan keeps running at high speed all the time
Anyone know why?

Question: does the notebook work properly besides the fast running fan?
Generally speaking after the BIOS upgrade you should always load the BIOS default settings.
In BIOS press F9 (load default) and then press F10 to save changes.
Try it out

Satellite A100-590 - cannot install Display Driver for Win7

I installed Win7 on my Satellite A100-590 (PSAA9E-03Z00QGR) today. Everything works fine exept for the display drivers.
I downloaded the win7/32bit drivers from here: [here|http://at.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=AT&BV_UseBVCook ie=yes&PRODUCT_ID=115970] But when I try to install them, the files extract and then nothing happens.
Anybody else have this problem or even better a solution? will any other drivers work on that laptop?
edit: graphic card is a ATI Mobility Radeon X1600

Extract the files into some new created folder. Open it and use setup.exe.
What happen when you start it manually using setup.exe?
You can also try to start setup in folder Bin.

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.

Toshiba Satellite won't go past Toshiba welcome screen.

Hi. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that was shut while running and sat overnight without power so it was basically sleeping.
In the morning, I turned it on and it froze on the Toshiba welcome screen which is the first thing you see when you start up the laptop.
The keyboard and mouse wouldn't work which didn't let me go into safe mode.
Also, the little cylinder light that indicates when the computer loads was completely on and stayed on.
It runs on Windows XP.
And now it does this everytime I turn it on and won't go any further.
Please help! Thanks!

The computer is not finding a boot device or files. Go into the Bios and check the Boot Priority. On most Toshiba Satellites, you either hit the Escape key or the F2 key to get into the Bios. Make sure that the first boot device is the hard drive. Often you will see this abreviated at HDD. Also make sure that the hard drive is being seen in the Bios. If the hard drive is not being seen in the Bios you are not going to boot into Windows. Guaranteed. If the hard drive is being seen in the Bios and is the first boot device in the Boot Priority and it is still not going beyond the Toshiba splash screen, then you have a major software problem. In that case the only option is run the Recovery CDs and see if you can reimage the hard drive. If the hard drive is not being seen in the Bios, this could indicate that the hard drive is not properly connected to the computer or has gone bad. In that case, you will be talking to your friendly Toshiba authorized repair center for diagnostics and repairs.

Satellite M35X-S109: Toshiba welcome screen comes after 13mins

Hello,
My toshiba laptop starts up in 15mins and i am very unhappy for that reason. Problem is when i try to open my laptop power button gets blue and fan is working but Toshiba welcome screen comes in 13mins. and windows opens normally in 1.5mins and after that computer works very fine. Has anyone know the reason why Toshiba welcome screen comes very late. In my opinion it is not a hardware problem could be something else.
Please help me. I really need a support.
Model: M35X-S109
OS: Windows XP Prof. SP2
Thanks...

Hi
I agree with Lucky. Before Toshiba screen will pass the notebook checks the hardware functionality.
This is not a software issue. As mentioned you can try to update the BIOS but please be careful. If the BIOS update will nothing change then I would recommend checking the memory modules. Please remove one module for checking the second module.

5800 freeze in NOKIA welcome screen

my phone turned off and when i want to turn on it again, it freeze in its welcome screen (NOKIA) without the handshake presenting. and it took so long 'til my battery dropped again.
yeah, i had a problem same with you guys .
and what i do is remove my memory card BEFORE i turn on my handset.
voila !, it back to normal .
but, if i turn off and turn on again (memory card still inside), it just initiate the screen NOKIA without the handshake presenting.
it drive me crazy.
what is the solution? , i don't wanna remove and insert my memory card everytime i use my phone.
please help me guys !

I had this issue as well ... when turning my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic on, it would freeze at the Nokia start up screen. I had installed lots of apps from the Ovi Store over a periods of a couple of months, so I cannot say which one was "to blame" for the sudden freezing.
Taking out the battery, even for hours, did not help in my case.. When I pulled out the (8Gb) MicroSD card then turned the 5800 on, it booted without a problem ... though of course I did not have access to any apps which had been installed to the MicroSD card.
Posters elsewhere have stated that in the situation described above, the problem is that the MicroSD card is corrupted, and must be reformatted. While I'm sure that would work, I think it's a little extreme as a first step.
There is an interim step that worked for me: try first running software (such as MS Windows' Check Disk) that can correct corrupted files on the MicroSD. There are many ways to go about this. I did the following (I run Windows XP on my computer).
1) remove the MicroSD card from the Nokia 5800 (be sure to follow the instructions in your manual)
2) insert your MicroSD into a card reader, and plug the card reader into your computer (if it's not already attached to your computer).
>>> At this point, it's a good idea to back up the data on your MicroSD card to your computers's hard drive before you go further.
*** the rest assumes you have Windows XP ***
3) After a few seconds, Windows XP should recognize the MicroSD card as a drive. In my case, a dialog box called "Removable Drive E" popped up. Your Dialog Box may have a different name. If so, substitute that name in the instructions below.
4) Scroll down within the dialog box until you see "Open Folder to View Files using Windows Explorer", and DOUBLE-LEFT-CLICK on it.
5) A Windows Explorer windows opens up. RIGHT-CLICK on "Removable Drive E" and when the dialog box opens, LEFT-CLICK on "Properties"
6) A new window opens, called "Removable Disk E Properties". Select TAB "Tools"
7) Inside the "Error-Checking" section on top, LEFT-CLICK on "Check Now ..."
8) A small window called "Check Disk Removabl ..." opens. Make sure both "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan or and attempt recovery of bad sectors" are selected, then LEFT CLICK on the Start button.
The Check Disk program will run for several minutes, and hopefully fix any corrupt sectors on your MicroSD card.
9) When Check Disk is done, shut down all the dialog and Windows Explorer boxes, then remove the MicroSD card. IMPORTANT: to prevent further data corruption, make sure you use the Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" utility before you physically remove the card reader and MicroSD card from your computer.
10) Insert the MicroSD card back in your Nokia 5800, then turn on the 5800. If Check Disk found and fixed the corrupted files, your 5800 should boot without a problem.
If after all of this your 5800 still freezes at the Nokia logo on start up, you might proceed with the card reformatting suggestions made by others. Good luck!
Cheers,
Bruce
