Satellite C660 - How to downgrade the BIOS?

I have the same problem. Latest BIOS version for my notebook is 1.3 but on my is 1.4 installed?! Notebook is 10 days and I cant work with it.
We have few C660 (PSC0LE) we bought tham on same day and they all have 1.3 and are working perfect. Only my is BIOS 1.4 version and its not good at all.
Please my question is how can I flash BIOS with 1.3?

Hey,
I agree with the user above. BIOS downgrade can only be done from an authorized service provider. So you should get in contact with the guys and ask if they can downgrade the BIOS for you or probably they can send you an older BIOS version via e-mail Just talk with the guys a little bit ;)
But normally newest BIOS version has most bug fixes so I dont think a downgrade is useful

Satellite A40: How to update the BIOS because I only have half of the Bios

Hi guys
i went to the local computer shop with my satellite A40 because i only have half of the bios !!!
I sent an email to the german toshiba technical support and they said try a bios update (which baring in mind i still dont know how to do)then we sent my laptop to a local computer shop and told them the problem they told me not to update bios on a cempron processor.
Why not? What are the risks in need to know.
please help me because i want to in the future possibly upgrade to vista??

Hello Daniel,
Im a little bit confused about your message.
What do you mean with only have half of the bios?
Whats wrong with the BIOS?
The Toshiba support said -> try a BIOS update.
On the Toshiba page you can download the BIOS for the Satellite A40.
It seems you didnt check the download page detailed because on this page you would find this instruction:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS&FID=TRO0000000b07
The BIOS update was detailed described in this document and you should follow these guide lines to update the BIOS.

Satellite x200 - how to reset the Bios password

Hello,
I purchased a used Satellite x200 to replace my old p100.
When I received it, I remarked the bios is locked and the person I got it from is unable to tell me the password, arguing she used the finger imprint only four long.
Is there a way to reset the bios password and how much would it cost?
Regards

Hi
The BIOS password can be removed only by an authorized service provider in country where you live.
So get in contact with Toshiba service partner and ask for BIOS password reset.

Satellite M - How to remove the BIOS password?

Hello.
I forgot my BIOS password. I tried doing everything from introducing some default passwords like 'toshiba' 'phoenix' holding the left shift key while booting to disassembling my laptop and finding my BIOS battery to remove it.
The problem is that my battery is glued on my motherboard and I don't know what to do. I heard that there should be some jumpers near the battery that could help me but I cannont find them.
I am desperated ....what can I do?
please help me
thank you.

Default password doesnt exist and there is no magic default password that can remove existing one. Removing BIOS battery will not help at all. On notebooks it will not work so forget it.
BIOS password can be removed by ASP only so contact nearest ASP and they will help you.
Theory with jumper is also not correct because BIOS removal procedure is not the same for every notebook model.
Sorry but ASP is your only way to remove BIOS password.

How to enter the BIOS settings on my Satellite L50-A-k4W?

Help me pls!! How to enter the BIOS settings? I do not know, and Google does not help me =((

At first you have to perform an complete shutdown.
Here an HowTo:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
The point is that Win 8 does not shut down the notebook but the unit performs hybrid shutdown to boot faster. So unit needs to be shut down in order to access the BIOS.
Start notebook again and press F12 to enter boot menu. Thee you can find option for BIOS settings. You can also try with F2 at start up.

Can I downgrade the BIOS on my X201i?

Does anybody know if it is possible/advisable to "update" one's BIOS to a previous version? That is, are there additional problems involved with downgrading the BIOS than the common risks with BIOS upgrades?
What I'm considering doing is downgrading to the version released in late June 2013, since it supposedly fixes the battery drain issue. Nobody at Lenovo apparently cares to respond to any of my queries of how it is possible that I have a newer version of the BIOS than is currently posted as the newest one (I have 1.40-1.20 installed since Oct-2012; the latest, new version posted Jun-2013 is 1.40-1.15) nor what to do about it. So I'm considering going ahead and reinstalling (overwriting) my current BIOS with the one posted on the web site: 1.40-1.15. (I'm experiencing quite severe problems with heat as well as terrible battery drain post upgrading to Win8 Pro.)
I'm no BIOS expert, so I am unaware of any risks or potential problems by downgrading one's BIOS. Perhaps there's nothing to it and amounts to the same as any BIOS upgrade/install. If so, please let me know. I'm in complete lack of reliable expertise.
Thank you!
Solved!

I'd tend to believe that your problems are related to W8 and not the BIOS version that you're running.
That being said, yes you can downgrade the BIOS and the risks are the exact same ones that are present during any BIOS upgrade.
Good luck.

Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords are not working now can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS

Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent

Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Cannot be done. Downgrading is not an option.
What is the issue you think downgrading would address? Perhaps there are other approaches.

Satellite A200 - Cannot downgrade the BIOS to v2.40

Please Help me.
I bought a brand new toshiba Satellite A200 series laptop with vista home premimum in it.
For some reasons I'm not a big vista fan.
So i downgraded my OS to XP and as i was searching for drivers and all for XP i saw a Bios update for my laptop it was 5.20 which was for XP. While for Vista its 2.40 as per mentioned on website.
Now from here my problems started.
I downloaded that v5.20 bios and updated it.
Soon problems started like laptop gets overheated, it freezes, and sometimes refuse to give performance.
As i was unable to find all my drivers for XP i switched back to Vista with the help of my recovery DVD. But the problem remained the same with Vista also so finally i took my laptop to a Toshiba Service Centre.
They said there is a problem in motherboard so they fixed it but they didn't fixed the Bios.
I still have v5.20 on my machine.
I tried to downgrade to v2.40 but it always shows an error.
Can Anyone pls help me.. I'm able to boot with a USB thumbdrive but i don't have a DOS version of Bios v2.40.
Please if anyone can provide me with my version of bios.
I will be grateful to he/she forever.
here are my system specs.
Date 2009/01/26 03:04:19
[PC Information]
Model Name Satellite A200
Part Number PSAFCL-01M00P
Not even this when i buyed the laptop it showed me 749 something as shared Graphic memory now it only shows around 399.
I know this is all because of that Bios update.
Now im not even able to play good games.
This machine is almost useless for me now.
Any help from you people will do.

thanky you very much for ur response and time Raver.
i have the reasons for downgrade i hope u'll understand. Here they are :-
1. From the very 1st day i upgraded to v5.20 my problems started which led me to take my machine to an ASP.
2. Problems Started like overheating, freezing, BDOS, and performance degradation.
3. Shared Video Graphic memory declined to only 399 is this am i suppose to get ??? i remember well that before upgrade to v5.20 it was higher than 749 something. i have a Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 Gfx with 2GB of Ram in my Notebook.
4. I'm unable to play Good Games, the games lags and its performance disappoints me. before upgrade those games were running smoothly.
All I'm asking u guyz is for a correct version of my bios which is v2.40 if u can provide me that i will be grateful becaose im fed up this v5.20 it is making my notebook a peice of trash day by day.
Please look in this matter and give me some more of ur precious time in searching correct version 2.40 for my notebook
Regards In Advance.
