Satellite A200 - BIOS update fail

I've made big mistake. I tryed to install BIOS update for my SAT A-200. Everything went fine but after shuting down computer doesn't boot any more.
If I start it manualy power light comes on hard drive fleshes few time and thats all.
I've got this update with toshiba TEMPRO with Toshiba. I need some advise

Same here with Satellite A110. BIOS update from Toshiba site crashed my BIOS.
Using FN+B button while poweron you will enter Phoenix BIOS Recovery Mode. You need a Floppy Drive (intern or USB) and crisis recovery disk to flash firmware.
I was able to flash my bios to old version but are now stuck with a BIOS password - which I did not set.
So I need to go to ASP afterall.

  • Satellite P200 - BIOS update fail at stage 3

    There I was thinking, I should keep my computer up to date. So I tried to update BIOS. The BIOS update got stuck for 3 hours at some stage 3. The computer will not reboot now, not even to a setup screen. DEAD
    I have read somewhere that you can make a bootable USB flash BIOS recovery. Then use a certain key combination ie Fn and B or Fn and W (can not remember). Can some one give me a step to step guide from where to download software, right to recovering my BIOS and machine?
    I should not have to pay any fees to get my PC working again as it was working perfectly before this upgrade attempt. I did nothing wrong.
    Thanks,

    Hi spiralvista,
    > I have read somewhere that you can make a bootable USB flash BIOS recovery
    Yes, I did read about such threads here in forum but it doesnt always work and there is no official support for this procedure. Everything what you do with such BIOS recovery tools happen on your own risk and in worst case you could destroy the whole ROM module.
    Best option would be contacting an authorized service provider because the guys can have professional tools to reflash the ROM module where the BIOS is stored. So you should get in contact with the guys and ask for help. They can also tell you how much it will cost.
    Sorry that I cant give you another answer but here its an user to user forum only where you can talk with normal people like you and me Nobody from Toshiba here ;)

  • Satellite U400 - Bios update procedure failed

    Hey Guys,
    I need some help!
    I was updating my works laptop Bios and i had the power cord conected and (no battery, it was at home).
    Anyway we had a blackout right in the middle of when i was doing the up date.
    Now when the computer starts up all the lights come on and there is no display and then a long beep.
    Any ideas on how i can fix this?
    It's still under warenty
    thanks
    Michael

    Hello
    Sounds like that the BIOS update failed because the notebook doesnt start anymore
    How can you fix this? Yourself you cant fix it I think because the ROM module must be reflashed or the mainboard must be exchanged but you can go to the nearest authorized service provider.
    The technicians can check this and repair it. On the Toshiba website you can search for the nearest ASP:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an authorized service provider
    Good luck!!!

    You must install all Windows 8 Update, before you windows 8.1 Update use
    Never use MS Defender and other antivirus software.
    After successful system update, install this software

  • System BIOS update failed

    Hello,
    I need your help.  I ran HP System Diagnostics following recent BSOD incidents (about 3) on my Pavilion dv6.  I ran all the tests successfully except Memory Test as it takes 6 hours (approximately). 
    Interestingly the BIOS test came up with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file".  I tried running BIOS driver update from th HP website for my dv6 notebook but I am not sure it worked.  During the update the computer would shut down - is that normal?
    What can I do to check that my BIOS from 25 January 2013 is the current version? More importantly prevent future BSOD appearing.  I have plenty of memory, so rather intrigued.  Ran Norton and Microsoft Security and no viruses etc.
    Hope you can help.
    Many thanks,
    Barbs

    Hi,
    So the system shut down is normal for BIOS update and if I can restart the computer, therefore assuming the update worked. 
    I checked HP System Diagnostics the BIOS test still returns with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file". 
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks again,

  • BIOS update fails on Satellite P100-429

    Ive had a bad flash on my Satellite P100-429.
    The utility crashed which left me with a bookend. Not happy
    Ive created a floppy crisis recovery disk & bought a USB floppy drive after much hunting the internet for info.
    Problem is I need verification on the exact key combination for my laptop to envoke crisis recovery mode.
    On power up I have usual symptoms, flash of LEDs, power to CD-rom, power click of floppy drive etc...
    I just need to verify correct sequence for key combinations.
    Can anyone help?
    Win-f, win-b, fn-f, fn-b, win-esc, fn-escape doesnt seem to work for me
    How long to wait for floppy to start after combination etc?
    Help!

    Hi
    I dont have experience with these BIOS recovery tools because in my opinion its a little bit too risky. This is no official way to recover a BIOS and I dont want to destroy the whole ROM module.
    In my opinion if a BIOS update wasnt successful, you should go to an authorized service provider. Contact a notebook technician and explain your situation. The technician can try to reflash it and they have more experience. I think this shouldnt be a problem to contact one. ;)
    Good luck!

  • Satellite A205-S4629 BIOS Update Fail - File has different BIOS part number

    I have used the Toshiba support download page to identify my model A205-S4629 Satellite laptop and downloaded the following BIOS update utility sa200f0v520.exe.
    After building the IOS install disk and running the Phoenix Phlash16 utility I get the following message "File has different BIOS part number".
    The utility is using the following image file MW10M520.ROM.
    Any input is appreciated,
    Thanks,

    Hi
    As far as I know the BIOS package downloaded from the Toshiba US driver page contains the WinRAR 32-bit self-extracting ZIP file which includes both Windows-based and diskette based BIOS update installation options.
    Did you try to update the BIOS using Win-based BIOS?
    What OS do you use?

  • Satellite L300 BIOS update problem: "That BIOS is not for your notebook PC"

    I got Satellite L300 notebook and I want to update it's BIOS (current v1.50), so I've downloaded bios update v1.60-WIN and when I run extracted PS10160M.exe file - I get a message that "That BIOS is not for your notebook PC".
    What I'm I doing wrong?
    ps: that BIOS update was automatically suggested after registration on Toshiba website via serial number.
    UPD: seems like autosuggestion fail: Manual search shows that 1.60-win bios update not suitable for Satellite L300 PSLBCE model. :-(

    Did you download the BIOS for the PSLBCE model?
    You cannot use the BIOS from other L300 models, for example PSLB0E.
    If you installed Windows yourself using a generic Windows Disc, you will need to install the Value Added Package from the Toshiba website. The BIOS Update requires the TVAP package to detect the machine properly.

  • [SOLVED] MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC - Bios Update Fail

    Hi,
    today i decided to do a bios update of my board.
    A friend of me told me NOT to use the Windows-Flash tool cause he killed two borads with it.
    Ok so i used the flash utility from the bios/uefi menu with a usb-stick (M-Flash).
    Everything looked ok - flash tool was running and told me success/complete and it will now reboot/reset.
    At this time i wasn't able to boot anymore 
    It was like the board tried to read the flash but failed, reset, failed ...
    Lucky for me there is this little switch for the bios chip.
    Everything worked with the backup chip and i tried to reflash the broken master chip.
    -> Using the MSI E-Setup with Mode "In DOS Mode. (USB)".
    Booting up the usb stick and switched to master bios chip when i was seeing the "alert - only continue when you know what you are doing bla bla"-message.
    Wasn't able to flash anything cause of error:
    Quote
    ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID
    Asking google i should use the /X option (/X - Don't Check ROM ID).
    Now i got a new error 
    Quote
    Rom image layout detected RomHole is redesigned
    With this message i should use the /K option (/K - Program all non-critical blocks) i was told ... now a was able to flash the chip 
    And the result was: fail 
    I found the "HQ USB flashing tool" here and tried to flash the broken chip again (switching the bios switch from backup to master after booting), but also no luck for me ...
    After a break i had an idea - at which time i can switch from the backup chip to the master chip?
    The bootcode "A2" was the right for me
    At the bios/uefi setup all my fans were running at full speed and i was sure this is because of the broken master chip.
    So again i tried the M-Flash tool from the setup - f**k it will reset/reboot before the flash progress will start - but now i know the time to switch from backup to master chip 
    The tool started and i saw the same messages (everything ok, reset/reboot) as i tried it the first time.
    Reboot - SUCCESS! 
    I wasted about three hours of my live to brick and unbrick the master chip, but i don't know why this happend 
    Maybe this post will help someone to fix a failed bios update.
    YourName

    Thanks for sharing 
    I used M-Flash a couple of times, just remember DON'T remove usb-stick until it reboot successfully to os....

  • HP Compaq 8510w BIOS Update failed, stuck in bootloop.

    Let me begin with how this happened. I wanted to create a Hackintosh and decided to use my HP Compaq 8510w for that purpose. But since HP whitelists what WiFi cards you can use (OS X is not compatible with Intel), I had to flash a custom BIOS that removed the restrictions. This flashing worked though it would say it failed and should be flashed again. But it would still work and load everything correctly. I finally decided to restore the BIOS but the installation failed and the laptop is now stuck in a boot loop. I want to know is there any way I can recover the BIOS (WITHOUT SENDING THE UNIT IN FOR REPAIRS) or if I need to purchase a new Motherboard for it. I have tried using the Win+B recovery method though I might have done something wrong because the laptop takes no notice. Do I have to use a USB Floppy or can a Flashdrive be used?
    Thanks,
                     Mark

    try it without naming the file. there is only one file that is a ROM filetype. That is the EUR5.14 file in the F5.14 BIOS update. There is also a F.5.11 available under XP.  The OS does not matter as this is  cross platform code that is loaded before the operating system.
    If the preceding does not work then you wil have to go online and find a BIOS recovery company that is relatively local to you. Their websites cover what you need to do for them (provide a valid  ROM file. (perhaps a eeprom chip matching the one in your PC)
    Going to this level is sometimes a bit too much for non techies as it requires acquiring and properly using a special tool to remove and install the CMOS eeprom chip. I have no idea what level of expertise you have.

  • Pavilion g6-2235us bios update failed - error msg on boot

    I've had trouble updating to Windows 8.1, so I did a bios update, as recommended by the HP Web Site, but it failed, and now the laptop won't boot.  It displays error message "Your computer needs to be repaired:\bcd, error code 0xc0000034..."  Additional info is available by hitting escape, and I can get into a black screen with options:
    f1 System information
    f2 System diagnostics
    f9 Boot device options
    f10 BIOS setup
    f11 system recovery
    I've been down all those paths, with no luck on proceeding any further.  f10 shows me all the bios setup screens and the bios version shown is F29, the version that I tried to upgrade to.
    I've tried removing the big battery and pressing the start button for one minute - no joy.
    I've tried holding Windows+B+start - no joy
    I guess I'm down to trying to create a USB Key with the BIOS on it, and that's where I am stumped.  The BIOS softpaq for this machine is sp66880.exe.  I've got that on a fat32 usb stick with the volume label HP_Tools,  and I've got HP tools on the stick too.  When I try to boot with the stick by pressing windows+b+start, the light on the USB stick flashes a lot, but ultimately I get the message "The system bios recovery failed. Unable to open bios image file."  I have the feeling that I just don't have the proper setup on that USB stick.  I tried to run sp66880.exe on another computer, but it tells me that it is going to immediately flash the bios, which I definitely don't want to do (on my Toshiba laptop!).
    I would greatly appreciate any help you all can give me on how to create the recovery USB stick in the proper format.  Thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Fixed!
    It turns out that the bios update actually succeeded, but something in the hard drive boot files got corrupted.  I was able to make a Windows 8 Recovery USB stick on another machine, and finagle around to have the HP laptop reformat the hard drive to original factory condition.  Fortunately, I made a very recent Macrium image before this most recent problem started, so the next step is to restore that image.  With the new v. F29 bios, hopefully this beast will finally upgrade to Windows 8.1.

  • Satellite L750D - BIOS update 2.1 and sound problem

    Hello
    I have little problem. I have been downloaded from your website BIOS 2.1 for Toshiba Satellite L750D (PSK32E).
    I have been updated BIOS to 2.1 and start problem with sound. When I start game, music or something other only 2 first minutes sound plays properly but then it stops for no reason. No sound at all. I have been reinstalled op system but the problem is still there.
    Sound works for 2 minutes only then is completely off. Every start application with sound plays 2 minutes and stop all quiet is. I have made a probe on my mother laptop its a twin laptop. I have been updated bios same problem 2 minutes and then no sound. My operating system is win 8 pro 64 my mother laptop is with win 7 x64 premium.
    Two BIOS updated 2.1 ver on L750D and the problem is same. Please fix BIOS.

    The BIOS seems to be very old. I was released nearly 1.5 years ago so to be honest I doubt its and BIOS issue.
    I had the similar issue with my other notebook equipped with an Realtek sound card.
    The sound appeared again after plugging and removing the headphone jack
    But i could solve this installing the newest sound driver update from Realtek driver page.
    But it seems that your Satellite does not support Realtek sound chip but Conexant sound chip.
    Therefore the solution might not be useful for you.
    However, I think you need to update the sound driver.I recommend you to google for Conexant SmartAudio HD driver and to test the newest available driver version.
    In internet I could found the Conexant SmartAudio HD Driver version 8.65.9.51 for Win 7/ Win 8 / Win 8.1
    Not quite sure if this is the newest version but you can test it.
    In order to manually update your driver:
    1. Go to Device Manager (right click on My Computer, choose Manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel)
    2. Right click on the hardware device you wish to update and choose Update Driver Software
    3. Choose to select the location of the new driver manually and browse to the folder where you downloaded the driver

  • U530 bios update fails.

    I have downloaded a new verios of bios update (7ccn35ww) but I am unable to update the bios. Every time I run the tool, it automatically restarts the system and tries to update, when it complains that "Update failed. Secure Flash"
    Does anyone know why ?

    Hi aminvali,
          Just to cover all the bases, what is your current BIOS?  When did you purchase your U530? To find your current BIOS, just spam F2 upon a cold boot, and enter the BIOS utility. If you have Win 8, see this article:
    https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1-Knowledge-Base/How-to-get-into-BIOS-in-Windows-8/ta-p...
         The reason I ask, is because if your U530 was bought in the last few months, you could already have the 7CNN35WW BIOS loaded in your system. Lenovo usually loads the last BIOS available to them in the manufacturing plant, before they post it on their support site. Hence, if you try to flash the same BIOS you already have loaded, it will generate an error.
         Please report back with your results.
    Edit: Also, assuming that 35WW file is a new BIOS for your system, when you downloaded the file, did you put it in the Lenovo D: drive?
    Have you tried this:
    Turn off the comupter. Enter BIOS.  Change boot mode from UEFI to Legacy on the last tab. Save changes. Boot Windows. Run update file again. After successfull update return your BIOS settings back
    Cheers

  • G550 BIOS update failed. Reset CMOS?

    The BIOS update from Lenovo failed on my G550 rendering it useless.  I get fan and HDD action and all LEDs light up but NOTHING on screen...  The CMOS battery is soldered or glued in.  Where are the CMOS jumpers?

    Hello,
    I'm new to BIOS issues, and this one sort of takes the cake. I tried to update my Lenovo G550 (serial 2958)'s BIOS to the updated x64_18CN44WW_(2.53) bios, and the computer crashed most of the way through. Now I'm dealing with a bricked Lenovo. I understand that there are warnings about letting the computer go to sleep before updating the BIOS, which I did, but I simply didn't look deeply enough to find these warnings before I attempted the update. But that doesn't matter now.
    What does matter is that I'm working with a Lenovo that needs a reflashed BIOS, and right now I'm working through the options provided by this website:
    http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/2105-BIOS-Recovery-procedures
    I've tried Method 1 with NTSF partitioning (on a 4GB USB stick), and Method 1 with FAT partitioning (on a 1GB USB stick), both with no success. I'm doing this with the 2.53 BIOS file from the lenovo website's updated installer, as I don't have the backup BIOS handy (it's saved on the bricked laptop).
    I need some information to help me either fix my laptop. Specifically, does the Lenovo G550 (Serial 2958) definitely have a Phoenix BIOS? Are there any reports of a USB stick boot being used to successfully flash a bricked computer using the Fn-B boot method? Does the motherboard have a Joint Action Test Group port? Are there any 'legacy' BIOS files I should try to use available to Lenovo staff? What's the course of action a tech would take if I sent my Lenovo in for repairs?
