Satellite M60 will not boot up after BIOS update through windows

Hi all,
I was updating my bios on my M60 with the latest bios version and I was following the windows flashing procedure (the recommended one) and it blue screened and dumped. Now the laptop wont boot, wont even post. Just a big dead brick :(
I'm fairly proficient with hardware (I'm a software engineer) but I do not know how to reflash a laptop when this sort of thing happens. Is there a trigger bios reset on board? Is there anything I can do my self? If I take it back to my dealer how likely is it they will be able to reflash the bios in house? (Its a fairly large dealer in the Toronto area)
This being a work system I need the solution that has the smallest time impact - cost is not too big an issue.
Any help would be grand,
thanks in advance.

Hello Kristan
According to your problem description I presume the BIOS chip is damaged and unfortunately you can not do much alone. Please contact Toshiba service and explain them the situation. They will explain you everything you must know and you can talk with them about costs and the time they need for notebook repairing.
Bye

  • Satellite M40x will not boot up after CPU upgrade test

    I have an M40x Laptop. I took the CPU out of it to replace it with another to test the computer booted up fine so I shut down and took it out and put it's original CPU back in, and it would not boot. Now it will not boot up at all with either of the CPU's all. When I turn on the power all I get is a white screen for a few seconds and the laptop shuts itself back down. Both the CPU's are good because I have since tested them in other computers to make sure that was not the problem.
    Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this??

    Im not surprised.
    As far as I know Toshiba does not support any CPU upgrades and it's not advisable to do something like that.
    Its a fact that the CPU replacement on the notebooks is not easy and mostly not recommended.
    The processors used in portables are connected to the system board using a process called TCP (Tape Carrier Package). This is a permanent connection method and is used in the interests of miniaturization and heat dissipation.
    Did you assign the new heat paste? Its necessary and important if you want to connect the CPU again.
    So possibly this is a reason for the no booting.
    I think more details you will get from the service guys in your country

  • T440s will not turn on after BIOS update

    I have been using Windows 10 Pro 64bit for a month with only 1 persistent issue which was that the Intel Management Engine would give errors that it wouldn't shake hands with the firmware. The event error stated it was related to MEIx64. I've tried several different drivers, and different versions of Intel Management Engine but still had the same issue. So I decided to update my bios as I was on the 2.17 version. I followed the instructions step-by-step including deregistering from AMT or something in the bios. Once I ran the update utlitiy as admin within Windows it began the update and then the laptop completely shut down. So I left it for a little bit thinking it was doing something. It never turned on and now it still won't turn on.  The screen will stay black, no backlight at all of any kind. The power LED on the power button turns on (and the keyboard lights) for about 3 seconds then it turns off and makes a quiet pop sound. It then turns on automatically but with the same issue of no LCD screen, no backlight, then after about 20-30 seconds it turns off making the pop sound again.  Also, when I plug the AC power in, the power LED blinks 3 times. Not sure if this is normal or not. I've tried removing battery and AC, pressing power button 10 times at 1 second intervals and then holding power button for 30 seconds to no avail. I've tried the emergency reset button on the bottom of the laptop. I've unplugged the CMOS battery for about 30 seconds and tried again, all to no avail. I've also tried putting a bootable CD in my external CD drive to no avail. I do have an active warranty (3EZ - depot) until 2017. Is there ANYTHING else I can do to get this thing fixed???? PS - It appears to have an internal backup battery which I have not taken out. I'm trying to avoid having to really open this thing up and start removing stuff. Thanks

    Haven't gotten a reply at all so I filled out a service request and Lenovo shipped a box to put my laptop in and it ships today next day air. Thank goodness for warranties.

  • Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update

    My MacBook will not boot up after running Software Update (Security update + Java?) earlier today. I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. I have tried restarts several times and tried to start up from my original system DVD - this makes no difference.
    I called Apple support, tried resetting the power and PRAM - still no difference. He had no knowledge of other problems reported; although I note recent post may have same issue.
    I cannot get an appointment at my Apple Store before Monday.
    Any suggestions?

    Still no success. When I hold down the option key when powering up I get the hard disk icon plus arrowhead (only). When clicking the arrowhead it goes to the gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.
    This happens both with DVD in slot and without DVD. the DVD image is not coming up on screen. When I start up without DVD the hard disk icon appears promptly. When I start with DVD in the DVD is spinning for a short period before the hard disk icon appears. On clicking the arrowhead to hard disk icon the DVD spins again for a while then stops. Apart from the DVD spinning, both situations result in gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.

  • Windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.

    windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.  Where do I start to get my p.c. going again ???

    I get the message that a recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
    The computer does not boot up in safe mode or last known good configuration.
    I'm glad you think the software has nothing to do with it, but perhaps you can also explain why this problem started as soon as I downloaded the desktop software and tried to restart the computer.

  • Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.

    Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.
    The following happens.
    1. Speaker light lit (Green)
    2. Phone displays a firmware upgrade page (see attachment) for a few minutes. (Doesn't seems to be upgrading, but it "saids" upgrading)
    3. Saw Cisco logo with a Java Powered page.
    4. The whole thing loops again and again...
    I think the reason why the phone isn't booting up is because the phone needs to know where to find the configuration/firmware files from a tftp server. I do have a TFTP server, but normally I need to go in settings to change the alternative tftp server, but the thing is that now I can't even press the settings button...
    Please help.

    How many phones were reset and upgrading at one time? What is the setting of the TFTP Maximum Serving Count (Advanced TFTP Service Parm) on each of the TFTP servers?
    Sounds like too many devices trying to use TFTP at once.

  • Satellite L100 will not boot up if wi-fi is enabled

    Hi
    Starting from the beginning, yesterday for first time my husband connected his Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4E to an LCD TV using a s-video cable. Everything seemed to work fine but thebackground on thedesktop had vanished, there was just a plain white background with all the usual desktop icon. He restarted the lappy thinking this would sort it out but did not disconnect from the TV first. The lappy did not start back up - just had a plain black screen, no warnings or anything.
    A couple techie minded friends arrived at that point and suggested the lappy had 'lost' its display drivers and, after a lot of research decided the only option was to reinstall everything from scratch.
    I do not have the original Toshiba restore disks or recovery disks so downloaded all the drivers from this site. Now the laptop will not boot-up if the wifi is turned on. This model has a Atheros network card - at least the lable on the bottom says contains Atheros AR5BMB5.
    If I turn the wifi switch to off the lappy starts up every time, if however the switch is on it will not start up even in safe mode. If I turn the wifi on after windows XP has started up the lappy freezes and keyboard etc are non responsive and i have to force a shut-down by holding down the power button.
    So far I have spent hours trawling this and other websites to try find any clues that might help.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as Christmas is likely to be hell if hubby does not have his lappy to play with!!!
    Many thanks in anticipation.

    Hello Tree
    After almost 10 years with Toshiba notebooks I must say that I have never heard about something like this. For me it sounds unbelievable.
    The best solution for you is to install OS using original Toshiba recovery image. If you don't have one you can order it.
    What you can try is to enter BIOS settings at startup. Set it to default settings and check if the problem persists.

  • Toshiba Satellite Laptop - Will Not Boot, Safe Mode Not Accessible

    Hi everyone, thanks in advance for your help.
    I am trying to help my mother-in-law (I know, who does that!?) with her laptop. Because of the boot problems, I can only offer you limited info on the specs, but here is what I do know.
    Toshiba Satellite
    Model Number PSAE6C-TJ908C
    2 Gig RAM (assuming DDR2)
    HDD is a Toshiba MK2035GSS 200Gig
    OS Windows Vista
    Bios Version 2.60
    Problem:
    First it would boot ok in one user account, but when booted in secondary account it would act odd, ie caps lock stayed on when not pressed, etc. Deleted secondary account, ran Windows repair function, now I cannot access the primary account, will not boot in safe mode, can not change boot sequence in setup to boot from cd or run restore disc. I have to use an external keyboard as the laptop keyboards enter key and "a" keys do not work. (New keyboard which was replaced in December, warranty has since run out, thank you Staples.)
    Any and all help greatly appreciated. I'll answer any other questions you have as they come up, I realize I may have left out some key details.
    I forgot to add a couple of details. When booting, it hangs at the Toshiba screen prompting for either F2 for setup or F12 for boot device selection, when you reach the log in screen it gives a number of odd sounding beeps (3 I believe), the Filter Keys box comes up, and when you try to enter the login password it will not recognize it.

    That's one sick laptop. If the thing beeps on startup and even the keyboard doesn't work, I'd figure on replacing it.
    Are there important files you need to rescue?
