SATELLITE A105-S4074 BIOS UPDATED AND NOW DONT BOOT!

Hi,
I just have updated my old A105-S4074, with the lastest bios update available ACPI Flash BIOS version 6.00 for Tecra A7 (Intel) (PTA70U) and now is not even showing the post screen to enter to the BIOS
I flashed it using the cdrom way, and everything worked fine and finish sucesfully, but just when it restarted i got black screen!
The fan start,cdrom, but no hd light... just that and no video.
I tryied removing battery and ac, presing the power button for 30 sec, etc, and is just not working.
Any idea?
Thanks you in advance!
Regards

It's bad news that you may have corrupted your BIOS, even though you used the boot CD update method.
Regardless, you can try all these steps first:
Computer will not turn on
If nothing above works, see these intructions, and try to work your way through them for your make of BIOS. The BIOS.ROM file they mention, should be on your BIOS update CD.
BIOS Recovery procedures
Good luck.

  • Bios updated and now K8N Neo won't boot? FIXED!

    Successfully restored from backup (after some hassles!), but thanks to everyone who helped.
    Having messed with the bios some more, I *think* I now know what the problem was.  And *blush*, I think it was my fault all along *blush*.
    I think I had one of the drives selected at the top in Hard Disk Boot sequence, instead of the SCSI - Raid Array.
    That would mean it was only reading half the MBR at boot time which would kindof explain the problems I was having.
    Still, we live and learn.  Thank God for backups!
    Cheers all
    Chippy
    I hope someone can please help me?
    I just upgraded my K8N Neo2 bios from 1.4b to Easybios 1.3c (or whatever its called).
    I took all the proper precautions and the bios update itself has worked just fine. My system is "working" OK.
    However, I can't boot. The system POSTs fine, detects the raid0 array just fine and then falls over with an MBR 1 error and an MBR 3 error.
    I booted from the XP install CD and loaded up recovery console, and I can log on to the array. The array and all data is fine.
    So it looks like its just the MBR record that is screwed. Is this because of some incompatibiliy between my old and new bios?
    And anyway, please does anyone know how to fix it? I suppose I can try to rebuild the MBR somehow, but I don't know how. And I really DO NOT want to risk losing all of the data on the array. Yes, I have a full back up, but I don't want to end up having to rely on it!
    Has anyone seen this problem before when doing a bios update? And any ideas how to fix it?
    (I guess I could flash back to 1.4b, but I really would like a later bios version to go with my new - as yet untested - Opty 146).
    Thanks

    Thanks for the tip, Doc.  But I have entered the bios settings from scratch.
    I can try it again, but why do you think that might work?  There really aren't two many sata and raid settings to make - all you have to do is enable the two channels (sata3 and sata3) and then enable them also in the raid menu.  That's it.  And the board "sees" the raid array just fine, its just it won't boot anymore.  I can read and write to the array no problem from Windows Recovery Console, so I conclude that the hardware is all working properly.  I think its an MBR incompatibility issue between the two bios versions... or maybe MBR corruption.
    I seem to remember some people having problems with this a year or so ago when upgrade this bios from 1.4 to 1.5.  Some people were having to do complete Windows reinstalls to fix it.  That was why I didn't update my bios sooner.
    But I asked around this time and it seemed those problems had been resolved.
    Seems I was mistaken!
    Any other thoughts / suggestions?
    Thanks

  • BIOS Update and now fan is running constantly

    I got a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC last week and have just been prompted to install a BIOS update. When it was installing the update the fans turned on and were deafening.
    It's installed the update, restarted itself a few times, etc.
    However the fan is now running constantly and is extremely annoying. It's not blasting out by any means and is probably nowhere near how quick and loud it could be. But this is a brand new laptop and the fan shouldn't be running - all I'm doing is browsing the internet.
    What has this update done and how can I turn the fan off (I presume it will turn itself on when the heat inside the laptop requires it).
    Cheers

    Hello foxyjohn. I understand you are experiencing an issue where the fan is always running quickly after a BIOS update. The fan should not be running quickly, based on the information you have provided. I would like you to follow the troubleshooting in this document: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​lc=en&docname=c03620929

  • I recently installed a bios update and now I can't locate the built-in webcam on my 210-2190 laptop

    After installing a recent BIOS update, the search and webcam disappeared from the start  menu. I got the search function fixed, but I can't locate the webcam sofware. How do I turn the software back on?

  • Z87M Gaming Mobo - BIOS Update and now won't post

    Hello all...
    Firstly I have had a read through the messages here and it is looking like I may have damaged the board by attempting a BIOS update using the update tool in the BIOS!? 
    Anyhow here is what happened......
    I setup my system below and everything was booting happily with no problems at all.
    I could not seem to get my SSD to be recognised by the mobo (windows install could see the SSD but could not install OS as mobo controller did not recognise it).  I downloaded the 1.2 version of the mobo BIOS, extracted this to USB drive and used the update feature in the BIOS to flash.
    I selected the option for BIOS and Management Engine and the BIOS upgrade reported successfully flashed. The PC re-stared successfully a couple of times but on 1 boot it said it was updating or flashing the Management Engine, a percentage bar completed and that was the last time the PC booted successfully. 
    I have tried clearing the CMOS using the CMOS clear button and the CMOS jumper but this has made no difference.
    The power is there and the PC switches on but it wont post and is showing nothing on the debug LED's.
    I have tried removing all components but same outcome.
    The PSU is brand new and the fact that everything was working fine before the flash update (including the Gskill RAM btw) I feel the flash has caused this.
    However, I would very much appreciate some advice from some experienced MSI mobo users 
    Thanks 

    Quote from: Svet on 26-May-14, 20:53:16
    remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< again
    then try to boot with barabone setup
    I did try this with just the board and nothing, no post at all :(

  • Satellite M100 - After BIOS update it doesn't boot anymore

    Hey everybody :)
    BIOS problem: I was updating *BIOS* by WinFlash and my laptop "freezed" so BIOS is DAMAGED. Laptop does't boot up.
    I was updating my XP laptop to *BIOS 3.00* version.
    How to repare BIOS?

    Hey mate,
    I agree with Akuma and I think in this case you can do nothing. If the notebook froze during BIOS update I think the ROM module is now destroyed and must be reflashed or exchanged. In this case only an ASP can help you.
    On the Toshiba website you can find a list of ASPs and you should contact the nearest one. Speak with the technicians and they will try to help you.
    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) - After BIOS update it doesn't boot again

    Hello there..
    Please help me to overcome this issue.
    I have downloaded the latest BIOS for my Satellite L300 PSLB8E. The previous BIOS was 1.90 but I was facing some nework related error so I thought upgrading BIOS may help to solve it. I have download a new BIOS which is exe file 2.10, its installed successfully and then shut down but never booted again. I have tried to boot it many time. I have tried all the keys. I can only see one power led and two battery light.
    I dont know what to do now. I have a recovery disk but it also not working. I'm stuck.Ii had a bunch of emails to reply I'm lost now.
    Please help me someone.

    Hi dhaval2000in,
    Unfortunately I think the case is clear: Something went wrong due BIOS update and now your notebook cant start anymore :(
    The Toshiba recovery disk will not help you because it doesnt contain any BIOS reflashing programs it contains only a recover image of Windows with all drivers and tools.
    In my opinion you have to contact an authorized service provider in your country to get rid of this because the guys have to reflash the ROM module.
    Im sure you can clarify this problem with the technicians and then you can use your notebook again :)

  • Satellite M40X: After Bios update keyboard keys don't work properly

    I have a Satellite M40X and I had update the Bios to v. 1.60 and now the keys u, m, 7 and the arrow up are not working properly. The problem is that there is not other Bios version to use.
    How can I resolve my problem?
    Can I recover the old bios version?
    Thanks
    Gabriel

    Hi there,
    no you wont be able to recover the old BIOS. The only two options are:
    1. Retry the BIOS update and check if its working
    2. In case of no success, please visit the [ASP Locator|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT] to search for the nearest ASP in your country and to ask them for a hardware checkup and repair.
