Satellite L40-14H - Black screen after updating BIOS

Hello!
I have Satellite L40-14H (PSL48E) notebook. I have installed WindowsXP, it worked ok, except the digital keyboard was turned on permanently so I couldn't type a couple of symbols. Than I decided to install special BIOS for WinXP, that have downloaded from Toshiba web-site. The PSL48x model is in support list. Alter flashing from Windows and rebooting, I entered to BIOS to see what changed. I've seen nothing new, so I exit the BOIS and reboot again.
Since that moment, the notebook turns on, but the screen doesn't, it is black :-(((
Please help me, how can I back it to live?
Thanks, Eugene.

Hi, i have exactly the same problem. I have tried everything but with no success. Am really getting annoyed with this as the computer is only 10 months old and i can see that there are several people on these forums who have similar problems. Dont mean to sound negative but it dosent make me want to choose a Toshiba again in the future. Will try the customer support tomorrow but not really expecting much.

M5400 - Black screen after updating BIOS

As the title says, I've got this unwanted black screen after updating BIOS with update utility from here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds037429
What I've tried :
- power / battery out, pressing power button several times for short / long and longer time
- BIOS battery out for about half an hour
- wincrisis with USB bootable stick and BIOS extracted from BIOS update utility from support.lenovo
- different combinations of keys such as : FN + B / F / R +/- win key
What should I do next except finding a hammer ?

Hey,
I am having the same problem, I was updating my bios.. followed all directions which is necessary to update them.
And then when it was almost ready it said "Bios update is not responding" so I waited... and waited because I did not want to abort it but then Vista aborted it for me.
Well at first it did not seem to be a problem but then I noticed that I could not click anything (was still in windows @ that time did not reboot yet) then I wanted to reboot but nothing worked.. Pressing off button for a time to shut down did not work.. So eventually power was out. And it shut down.
So I hooked it up again but nothing happened. Pressing the "on" button made it start.. The DVD-drive loaded for a second but... that is it just a black screen :S
Going to bring it back to the shop tomorrow.

Black screen after updating bios

My tablet turned black screen and couldn't do anything after updating bios provided by official hp page. I know that there is a way to enter into bios recovery, but my tablet doesn't have keyboard. Please provide me the solution.

Re: Satellite L40 - Black screen after updating BIOS

Hi everyone,
I have exactly the same problem as reported here:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-euro...threadID=35156
My portable is a Satellite L40-150 (Model PSL48E) It came with Vista and BIOS version 1.60
I updated the BIOS to version 5.50, because I wanted to install Windows XP. The BIOS update process went fine and the computer automatically restarted. Upon restarting, I entered the BIOS (pressing F2 key). I pressed F9 to load default settings and exited the BIOS, saving the changes.
The laptop restarted and the screen is now completely blank. Nothing appears in it.
I tried removing and then reinserting the RAM modules, but it didn't help.
So, I guess the only option is to return the laptop to a service center?
Why is Toshiba doing this? Are they doing this on purpose or what?
Regards.

I meant why is Toshiba releasing a BIOS upgrade that can render your laptop useless? (I've tried all the recovery methods they mention on their web, including turning on the laptop while pressing F12, but none of them work)
I've routinely upgraded the BIOS on all the computers I've owned through the years, and I've always reset the BIOS to its default settings right after upgrading. It's a procedure recommended by all manufacturers.
They all recommend to restore BIOS defaults after an upgrade because sometimes there can be some "leftover" configuration remaining from the previous BIOS version.
I upgraded the BIOS prior to installing Windows XP because it's the logical thing to do. Toshiba offers two different BIOS versions for my laptop, and the clearly state that one of them is compatible ONLY with Windows Vista, and the other one is compatible ONLY with Windows XP.
Could you tell me why should I install Windows XP on a laptop that has a BIOS designed for Vista? Common sense dictates that you should first upgrade the BIOS, and then install Windows XP.
I've contacted Toshiba's technical support and they will replace the laptop free of charge, because it's still under warranty.
I admit I'm satisfied with their customer care services, but I'm surely disappointed by their Quality Control. It has failed miserably in this BIOS release.
Regards.

Hp pro tablet 610 G1 black screen after updating bios

After upgrading to windows 10, I updated bios recommended by hp official page for hp pro tablet 610 G1, but my tablet now turn into black screen and I could not do anything. Please help!!!
Any combination keys for this tablet to enter into bios recovery?

Ok, first of all update bios to the latest version which is 1.5 already.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_me10_mb.zip
thanks, i'll try this and post back

Toshiba Satellite L755-S5216 Black Screen after failed bios update

There was a Toshiba BIOS update that went awry and now the computer won't turn on. I can hear the fans and see the lights, but all there is is a blank screen.

I'm not a tech support agent, but there are a couple things I would suggest doing.
While the laptop is off and unplugged, remove the battery, hold the power button for 10 seconds, restore the battery, and try the laptop again. If that doesn't work, try booting on only AC power without a battery.
If you still don't have any luck, give support a call at (800) 457-7777.
Good luck!

Qosmio X870-149 - Black screen after Update to win 8.1

After an update to win 8.1 I got a black screen after login , the only thing I could do was to press zero during startup and make a recovery installation .
It took 40 houres , I do not know why it took so long , but when it was over, the HDD was completely empty , so I installed win 7 instead , since I had not made ??a recovery CD . The problem now is that I still get black screen in between , and thinking that it might be a heat problem , I still have warranty , but I do not know if it applies when I installed win 7 on the machine.
I still have a warranty on my toshiba Qosmio

Hi
Well, the warranty covers the hardware related problems. It does not cover any issues related to the software.
Now the open question is: why the black screen appears?
Is it hardware or software issue?
What happens if you access the BIOS?
Can you see anything on the screen?
Is something visible on the external monitor?

Satellite L450 (PSLY0E) - black screen after BIOS update

It seems like I have "bricked" my laptop during a bios utdate gone bad...black screen, as suspected :o /
The laptop is a Toshiba satellite L450 (PSLY0E)
The new bios image is named "bwaa150a.rom"
Anyone knows if it is possible to recover the bios from flashdrive or floppy, using some sort of recovery toolfrom inside the bios chip? ...or something?
Anyone knows who is the manifacturer of this bios?
If I have to rename the bios image during a recovery, what shoult it be named?

Well, I've just brought my bios back to life... :)))
I used the "wincrisis" available from wincrisis.1.0.0.4
Basically I followed the instructions in the download above to create a recovery usb-flash.
Then downloaded the correct bios, renamed the "rom-file" to "BIOS.WPH", and copied it to the usb-flash.
Then I disconnected both the battery and the power connection cable on the bricked laptop.
While pushing down the "F-key" on the keyboard, I reconnected the power cable and powered on with the power button, holding down the "F-key" *all the way till the laptop powered down by itself* after 2-3 minuets.
Then, powered up the laptop normally...voil, running normally, with the newest bios... :)))

Qosmio F50-125 starts with black screen after an BIOS update

Hi
after instalation if new bios (v 2.0), computer sometimes starts with the black screen .
Even the first page that show press f2 to enter the bios is not shown.
Do you have somebody old version of the bios?
So I could try if it is the fault of it.

Hi
I think the old BIOS will not help you because the notebook would known that you are trying to update the BIOS to the older version and it would break up the procedure.
Furthermore the older BIOS is no available on the Toshiba European driver page.
I think just only a Toshiba ASP has got an older BIOS version.
Anyway, you said this happens sometimes.
This would mean that this issue doesnt persist always
Hmm. in such case I recommend settings the BIOS to the default settings and to update the display driver.
Check it out!

MSI GE60 0NC black screen after updating to windows 8.1

Hey, guys! I updated my laptop last night to windows 8.1 and everything went smoothly until the final boot wherein, after signing in to my account, there's only a black screen and mouse cursor. I tried finding solutions online like using sfc but it only fixes it for several minutes. Only the task manager works. Please help me.

Black screen after updating to ios 8 iphone 4s

iPhone 4S Cap 56,5 GB IOS 8.0.2 Model MD261HN/A Modem Firmware 5.4.00
Guys, since upgrade to IOS 8.0.0 I am getting black screens or crash in most apps (Facebook, Whatsapp, etc).
That has never happened before and I own this phone for about 3 years.
Any suggestion?
Thank you!
Fabio

Found a fix!
The problem is that after the update, for some reason, the screen brightness is set to lowest, so you can't see anything although the screen still works.
If you shine a bright light on the screen, like from the flash of another phone, you can see the information on the screen, not well, but visible, finish the update process, and when you're done, go to settings, and set your screen brightness up again.
It's as simple and stupid as that.

That’s happen after I made update for the software using Nokia software update, but in the middle of the operation I got an error message “update can’t completed” …
So please advise me with your experience.

Was it an OTA or Ovi Suite update? Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the power button for at least 8 seconds until the phone buzzez 3 times in quick succession. Then try restarting your phone again.
Another thing you could try if your initial update attempt was through OTA is to try connecting and updating your phone using Ovi Suite.
If that does not work then you may need to hard reset your phone but there are various issues with that at the moment, such as losing your data uinless you have a backup and other options such as the lost of some functionality which at the moment can only be restored by reinstalling Qt or by a Nokia Care Point.

Black screen after updating

Hello! I've upgraded to W10 using the Updater, and after every boot I see a black screen instead of the lockscreen. A few times it resolves itself after a few minutes, other times I need to put the laptop to sleep mode, then turn it back on. My laptop is a B50-30.

I think before it opens it'll restart several times after it finishes loading
