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 :)

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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 L650 - Touchpad won't disable after BIOS Update

    Hello,
    I've recently got a new laptop, a L650-1CN,
    I run the various kinds of software from Toshiba, and one of them is Tempro,
    It shows me messages when a new update is available.
    Today I got saw the message that a new BIOS update v.1.80 was available.
    I downloaded it, and installed it. After installing my laptop shut down. Then I booted it again.
    But after a few minutes I noticed that my touchpad didn't disable itself anymore.
    I usually use a logitech wireless mouse.
    Now I'm wondering if I should do a system recovery and not install this BIOS update, or find another solution to fix this. Because it's really annoying.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi buddy,
    Usually the touchpad disable it automatically if an external mouse is connected but only if you enable this option in touchpad settings.
    I also use an external mouse from Logitech and have activated this option. You can find it in control panel > mouse. Go to tab Device Settings and mark the option Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached.
    I hope it works :)

  • 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 M40 won't load past BIOS screen

    when i turn my Satellite M40 on sadly it won't load past about 7/8ths of the blue bar going across the screen.
    this has left me completely baffled as what to do.
    apparently it could be repaired by removing the battery cables on my CMOS?
    would anyone know how i would go about doing this? or have any other ideas?
    thanks xx

    Hi Dec,
    The scrolling blue bars indicate that the Wondiows operating system is being loaded from the hard drive. If this process stalls during the load then it is likely that either the hard drive itself is defetive or the files which are being loaded are corrupt and cannot be loaded.
    Interfering with the CMOS chip will not correct this problem since the BIOS has already been loaded at this stage.
    If you have access to a bootable CD/DVD (such as Norton Disk Doctor) then I siggest you try booting from it and running a scan of your hard drive. Alternatively you could try re-installing your operating system from the Toshiba recovery CDs but this will over-write any of your own data on your hard drive.
    regards

  • X301 won't start after BIOS update

    Hi all:
    Well I've had my new x301 for about 2 months and it's given me nothing but troubles....Recently I found out my laptop won't come back on from hibernation (when you close the screen and open it up). So I downloaded and installed the lastest updates from Lenovo (including the recent BIOS update), restart computer, only to find out it doesn't start up anymore...black screen, thinkadvantage blue botton doesn't light up, no harddrive activity, only light on is battery and power...
    I'm thinking maybe something went wrong with the BIOS update. Is there anything I can do to fix it (besides shipping this thing to a repair center which is a big hassle, or paying $200 for an on-site tech that might or might not solve the problem).
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hello all
    I just updated my X301 (2776LEG) with the 3.12-1.05 bios. Now my laptop won't start up when running on battery, it powers on for a short while and powers off again. This cycling keeps on going (after 30min I switched it off!) but as soon as i connect the power adapter it boots fine. Seems like this bios update f****ed up the battery power part of the computer....
    I tried the bios battery trick but it only worked on the first boot and after that the same problem is present.
    I have added 2gigs extra memory and a ultrabay battery and it has been working 100% for about a year now. This error started right after the bios update...
    Thought that a reflash of the bios would solve the problem but i cannot reflash the bios with the same bios version...
    Any ideas ?
    Kind regards

  • 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.
    > 2. Point me to links where I can find the files in the above link.
    There is no link! You will have to ask the ASP for the help.
    Bye

  • 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.

  • Laptop won't boot after BIOS Update

    My laptop took an automatic BIOS update
    Now when I try to turn on my computer it won't turn on:
    Screen is black
    Power button and f12 button lights flash at 5 second intervals indefintiely
    At the same interval a fan or hard drive can be heard spinning for a split second then stopping
    I've tried the hard reset (Remove power and battery fo 5+ minutes, plug in power but no battery and turn on) but no affect.
    The Windows key + B key with the power button for 1 second had no affect either.
    I can't find any info with my exact problem (All other info seems to have blinking light codes while mine is just at a constant interval)
    Thanks!

    @B1-17 ,
    Thank you for posting back.  Now based on how you are explaining the response you are getting after doing what you have done so far the next step will be to try and get a response with removing some components and then see what kind or response you get.
    Here are the steps you want to follow.
    First remove your memory from you notebook.  Here is a link for the Maintenance Manual that will show you how to do this.
    (When Removing Or Adding Any Part To Your Notebook. Remove Battery and Power Cord.)
    1) Remove bother Memory Modules.  Put the power cord back in only.
    2) Start your notebook and see if a new flash code or beep code happens.
    3) If yes place only one memory module back in to your notebook and try rebooting.
    4) If you boot up then we have a bad stick of memory.
    5) If you still have a flash or beep code. Remove the single memory module and try the other.
    6) If this lets you boot up.  Replace memory module that is not in the notebook.
    7) If you still have the original problem or a new beep code.  Power down again.
    8) Now remove power cord then the hard drive.   Use Maintenance and Service Guide for instructions.
    9) Try booting up again and see if this changes the original flash code or beep code.
    10) If yes then replace hard drive if no then contact phone support for repair options.
    At this point if there is no change in the original flash or beep code you are looking at a repair.  For information on how to get your system repaired please contact our phone support.

  • [HP Omni 10 5601TW] Tablet won't boot after BIOS update

    I tried to use this utility to update my tablet's BIOS.http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-132613-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4157&product=6796753&sw_lang= After the update my tablet doesn't boot, or in the words of what this BIOS version fixes, the tablet stops functioning and displays a black screen after the BIOS is updated. How can I restore previous BIOS? Thanks in advance,Arpan

    hey, i have run into the exactly same issue with my Omni 10 - Win 8. there was a BIOS update available in the HP Assistant app, i installed it and rebooted. Now no display on boot. On pressing the power button, i just get a usual small vibreation of the tablet switching on, and then nothing happens. the vibreation keeps repeating every 10-15 seconds. there is no display. i have tried with power+vol up and also power+ vol down button combos, but it just keeps vibrating every 10-15 seconds with no display. was a solution found for this?

  • T450s won't boot after bios update

    Just got my new t450s yesterday.  Booted it up today and connected to the internet.  Lenovo widget popped up and told me there was an update.  It said there was a new bios update. I walked through the UI steps and it installed the new bios and then went to reboot the machine.  Machine did not post.  Any attempt to power on gets a blank screen and 2 short beeps, pause, 3 short beeps.  The Green light on the power button is currently gently pulsing.  pressing and holding the power button does nothing.  Tried unpluging and replugging both the battery and the AC adaptor and no change.  help?

    Guys, I just faced the same issue. My T450s was delivered to me this afternoon. I got it home and plugged it in and was prompted for the BIOS update while I was updating Windows. Went through the UI and the machine did not come up after shutting down for the update. I found this post online and tried to factory reset but did not get a response again. Things were getting crazy and I decided to try and remove the external battery and let it drain down. But I just thought of trying the factory reset after the external battery was removed and it worked!! The machine has booted up and went straight into installing the Windows updates and I found that the BIOS has been successfully updated too. Really weird!  Seems to be running fine now. But a scary way to start off!
