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.

There is no link! You will have to ask the ASP for the help.
Bye

Satellite Pro C850 wont work after Bios update

my satellite pro c850 cd wont work after bios update from toshiba.
what do i do?

Saying: dont work you mean it does not power up or what do you mean exactly?
Did you flash the BIOS properly?
Possibly something went wrong during the update and this means that ROM module isnt flashed properly
In most cases a special BIOS crisis disk would be needed to get it working
Not quite sure if you can get it fixed by your own
Check this thread. Maybe it helps:

Otherwise you need help from authorized service provider available in your country.

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.

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.

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 A660 - USB boot problems after BIOS update

Hello,
I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and recently have update the BIOS to the latest version (1.80). Since then the notebook will freeze on the boot screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
It works without the flash memory connected and also if I connect it after I enter the boot menu or the BIOS setup. I can even boot from it like this.
As far as I am concerned this is a serious regression. Is there any way I can downgrade the BIOS version, or any other way to fix this issue ? I rely heavily on external USB drives.
Regards,
Claudiu.

I too am having problems with my A660 since upgrading to 1.80 bios - the HDD/SD utility, the pc health monitor and half the other toshiba utilities no longer work because they can't recognize the bios and actually tell me this... I get an error message telling me ''can't get bios type''...
On top of this I get the boot problem as well - I have to unplug half of my USB devices to get the laptop to boot properly...
And now - one month into owning my new A660 - after a hard drive failure, a problem with the Broadcom internal wireless adaptor I now have the internal TV tuner no longer working and have no idea how to fix it...
My gut feeling is that the sooner I can downgrade to the original factory bios the BETTER - and wait for another bios update to come along that is not faulty/buggy...
HOPE someone can help me with this...
John.

Satellite L300 does't run after BIOS update from V2.10 to V2.20

Hi
I just installed BIOS V2.20 over the Bios V2.10 for my Toshi Satellite L300 over Windows XP.
Afterwerwards the Machine starts and shows just the XP starting window and the restart that I have the options save restart or normal restatr.
Nothing runs any more? Even starting from Windows-CD has no effect.
Who can help?

Thanks for you suggestions, but F2 did not help.
I performed the Bios update because on the website of Toshiba, there was written, hat the update increases function of the system.
I just called the update service. They mentioned I should reinstall Win XP, because my Computer starts, but Windows is not starting.

Satellite C850 - Low fan speed after BIOS update

Hello,
So I have my Satellite C850-PSKCEV bios updated around 6 months ago to version 6.80 (I bought my laptop in 2012), and since then the fan is running at low speeds and will never run full speed as before, and as a consequence the laptop overheats prematurely and very fast, and even when the laptop is not in use but left running it does overheat, also gaming is not even possible as any game that I run (even with the lowest settings) gets a fps drop every 5 seconds and lasts 5-10 seconds which renders even the lightest games unplayable, also I am afraid of the continuous overheat to damage the laptop's internal components.
I did clean the fan and vents from dust and there is not even one particle inside them and yet the fan won't run fast and I can't feel but very slight airflow from the vents as apposed to the strong one before this problem.

Hp g62 doesn't respond after bios update

after buying this laptop brand new, i installed windows and drivers, and after all was settled i went to do the bios update, using the recommended tools on the hp page. as millions times before, i followed the instructions, the update process completed itself, and the laptop went to shut down / reset. however, nothing happened, and the power led and the wireless led were on, the fan was working, but the screen was blank.
i tried to turn it on again, and every time i turn it on the fan starts to work really loud for 15 seconds. during that time i can turn of the laptop just by pressing the power button. during these 15 seconds the wireless LED is orange (off). after that, the fan calms down to normal levels, and the wireless LED is blue (on). when this happens i can only turn off the laptop by holding the power button.
i tried the hard reset, and it didn't help. what else can i do? it's a brand new laptop, but i don't know will the warranty work in this scenario? those are HP tools i used, from their site and they caused this

Disconnect all peripherals from the laptop. (external drives, mice or other devices)
Remove AC power, remove the main battery, locate and then remove the RTC coin cell battery for 15 minutes. RTC battery is located in the memory module bay on this model, L shaped cover with 2 screws, you will need to remove the main battery before removing this cover.
Put the coin cell back in and connect AC power only, see if it will post the HP screen, if it does Immediately use F10 to enter the bios and set the date and time, save changes on exit.
If it does not start, power it back down, hold all 4 arrow keys down and power it up while holding keys for 2~3 seconds after power up, let up on the keys and wait (2~3 minutes) to see if the bios recovers. If you get the HP post screen, enter the bios and set the date and time before booting into windows.

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 C870-196 - Long launch after BIOS update

Hello
I went to u BIOS 6.00 to 6.70 and I have a very long black screen between the TOSHIBA logo and the launch of my session I had not before!
I delivered the default settings in the BIOS (F9) as shown.
Where can this come and what to do?
Thank you
Kind regards

Well, new BIOS updates contain always some changes and probably something has been changed in new version and therefore the time between Toshiba logo and appearance of the image is a little bit longer.
What to say its not know to me that you could modify this delay so you will need to accept this BIOS change

Satellite L855 won't boot after BIOS update

I downloaded the BIOS update and followed the instructions it gave during install, however upon reboot (which the setup initiated) I get a blank screen. The CPU fan intermittently starts and stops. I am thinking that the BIOS update was unsuccessful, how do I resolve this issue?
Thank you,
Neil.

Hello Neil
Generally speaking when BIOS is screwed up you need professional help and you should contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
Check also this thread. Maybe this methid can help you too.

Satellite L300D - Won't load after BIOS update

I had to update my bios & it seems that the wrong one was downloaded about 3% into installing the laptop just died & won't go back on.
There are no lights & there is no noise from the laptop at all.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
The laptop is a Toshiba satelite L300D

Hello
Well, if BIOS update crashed you can do nothing because the ROM module must be reflashed. This can only be done with special tools and only an authorized service provider has such tools.
So please contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help :)

Hi
Its pity to hear that mate!
It seems that something went wrong during the BIOS update and therefore the notebook cannot power up.
Im afraid you cannot do anything else as to contact the local ASP!
The local ASP technician should check the unit and possibly he could update the BIOS again using an special BIOS and special procedure.
Good luck buddy

Satellite A100 - Windows and BIOS doesn't start after BIOS update

Hello, I have updatet BIOS of my notebook sattelite A100.
After updating I cannot start my notebook and BIOS doesn't start.

Hey guys... I tried to update my girlfriend's BIOS on a A100 just now (the windows installer) and the procedure stoped in the middle because windows crashed while doing. Now the laptop won't start at all (obviously). I have a black screen when turning it on. No boot sounds or anything. I've already removed the AC power source and battery in case that works. I guess removing the BIOS battery won't help either since the flashing was wrong... In case that doesn't work, is there any chance i could find a BIOS from ebay or somewhere else?
Thx in advance, Jimmy..
PS. My gf is going to shoot my brains out :P
