Satellite Pro L100 does not run after BIOS update

Ok the machine is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4. Problem occurred during a BIOS update from the official Toshiba website. I downloaded the zip file, extracted it and activated the .exe file inside.
The window opened by the .exe was a BIOS flashing program, the .exe also simultaneously wrote a new BIOS file to a temporary folder.
When tried to use the program all I got was an error saying that it couldn't find the new BIOS to input.
I tried again only to get the same error. I then left the laptop for several minutes and when I returned, I found a blank unresponsive laptop.
By unresponsive I mean an obvious lack of BIOS functions i.e. power LED's not changing when plugging in of unplugging from the mains and the fact that I had to pull the battery out to turn the machine off. When the machine is turned on now all it does is check the drives and restarts (no display, no beeps)
What do I do?
The first thing that came to mind was to reset the BIOS.
One problem, I can't find the RTC battery or a jumper switch.

I have at least found out why this happened, the program obtained from Toshiba automatically 'attempts' to upgrade the BIOS upon activation. This means that the program engaged with errors without my authorisation. I don't find this very impressive from a company as large and powerful as Toshiba.
Also it may be possible to fix myself if the BIOS installation instructions made sense, extracting the .zip file does not create three sub folders and pressing the F12 key does not start the laptop.

Satellite Pro L300 will not boot after Bios update

Help please.
I have just formated a Satellite Pro L300 laptop.
I used all the updated drivers from Toshiba and all went very well.
I then updated the bios with the latest version.
After doing this the laptop will not boot but just keeps scrolling through the start menu and no matter what option I choose it just keeps doing the same thing.
Any ides welcome

Hi
I used the Microsoft installation disk but just keep getting to the same stage until the blue screen appears. I have tried different installation disks and also changed the hard drives as well. I can do everything in bios, change boot device enable or disable devices but that is it. I have tried a few times to instal windows but it just stops at the same point saying windows is stopping instal to protect the system. I fear the bios update has done some permanent damage as I cant get past the dreaded blue screen.Thanks anyway

ThinkVantage Toolbox does not run after BIOS update

Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update Tool on my T410 ThinkPad (2518EWG) offered me download and installation of ThinkPad BIOS Update Utility US version 1.28-1.11.
Since then, whenever I try to run Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox I receive a message: „This version of Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox is not licensed to run on this system“.
I notice that the ThinkVantage Toolbox still shows the old BIOS No. 6IET49WW (1.09), while the updated BIOS is 6IET68WW (1.28).
Any comprehensible instruction how to solve the problem for a computer layman will be much appreciated. Thanks - Jan

Satellite C660D-104 does not boot after BIOS update

Hello,
I installed the latest bios on my computer Satellite C660D-104 but it has not rebooted.
Where is the place to do a reset?
Under the ram I have no triple x or B499
I can not find, can you help me please?
Thanks,

BIOS update failed this means that ROM module (where the BIOS is stored) isnt flashed properly.
As far as I know such issue could be resolved by flashing the ROM module again using Toshiba BIOS crisis disk.
I guess Toshiba authorized service provider own such crisis disk and could reflash the ROM

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.

Tecra A2: display brightness Fn F6+F7 does not work after BIOS update

Updated bios to 1.40 WIN at end of January. Since then F6 & F7 keys fail to increase or decrease screen brightness. Is this a coincidence or is the bios update the culprit!!??

Hi
Usually the BIOS update shouldn't have any bad influence on the Toshiba drivers and the OS performance.
There must be another reason for the FN key malfunction.
At first I would suggest to reinstall the common modules. Please check if it will help.

Notebook does not start after BIOS Update crash

Hi all,
I just want to ask whether is a chance to reactivate my Satellite A300 after a BISO update crash without send it to the Toshiba service.
I downloaded the new BISO and started it from the Windows menu. After a few seconds my PC crashed and everything was frozen.
I switched off the PC.
Now when I press the power button to start the Notebook the monitor is black and I can hear a sound brrr, brrr, brrr from the CD-Rom drive.
Do you think it is possible to boot from a CD or something like that. Is it possible to reactivate my notebook?
Your help would be really appreciated!
Thanks a lot
Best regards,
Chotte

Sorry but if the BIOS chip is damaged there is no much you can do about it. You must contact authorized Toshiba service provider.

Equium A60 does not start after BIOS update

I have an Equium A60. After being caught with some very nasty malware and a trojan I made the disiccion to reformat the machine and reinstall the o.s..
All went well until I updated the bios. Machine crashed and now I cannot get it to reboot. Press the power button and the machine will start for 3-4 seconds and then shuts down.
I know this is due to the bios and want to know if there is any way that i can reset this back to it original settings?
thanks in advance for your help

Hi Rob.
The model of my laptop is EA60-152 / PSA67E.
Yes i did upgrade from the Toshiba website.
I should have never done this it was working after the reinstall of the o.s and so i should not have tried anything else(never fix something that aint broke).
The only place i have found for a new motherboard is Toshiba. But the price is nasty. Talk about what a fool am i.
Never mind though i keep on thinking that there may be an answer or a scrap one that i can rob a bios chip from. Other than that a very nice paperweight me thinks..!!!!
If i get an answer than i will post it here..

Sleep and Hibernate does not work after BIOS update X1 Carbon 20A8

As subject title, did a recent Lenovo "System Update" on BIOS and other drivers, and since then sleep and hibernate no longer works, when i close the lid, it turns on by itself after 2 seconds.
When i select Sleep or Hibernate in Windows 8.1 with lid open, it just behaves like a Restart command.
Need this fixed! Any ideas?

Try downgrading to your older BIOS and see if it works again.

List of games that are not running correctly or does not run in ICS update

I hope to start a list for apps (esp games) that does not run after the ICS update.
Kindly list the game name along with the error. Hopefully its not off topic.

Since many of us having issues with gaming [both HD and Non-HD] after updating to ICS, so i decided to share a little bit of info regarding gaming performance in ICS.
For the gaming troubles we are not yet sure whom to blame? SONY, ICS or the Game developer.
1. Few game developers said that their 3D engine is not yet compatible with ICS.
2. No response from Google yet.
3. Sony was suppose to update their Graphics driver [Adreno] in ICS, so we were expecting better gaming experience, but in reality it declined. [Hoping to solve in 4.0.4, if SONY releases]
Remember Gaming performance and experience can be different depending on device, application version etc. Results stated below may not be same for all.
Few Gaming updates from different users:
# Angry Birds Space : For some it worked/some not working [Worked for me]
# Temple Run : Touch Control issues [ Game Developers said that their 3D engine is not yet compatible with ICS]
# Fruit Ninja: Some reported it lags. The speed of movement is slow.
# Asphalt 6HD : Works but some weird lines appears in the screen.
# NOVA 2 HD : Runs for 2-3 mins then force closes.
# Backstab HD : Runs for 2-3 mins then force closes.
# Dead Space : Working well till now.
# MW3: Working.
# Fifa 12 : Not working for me.
# Shadow Gun: Not Working.
Now it was advised that you must use the latest version of the games available in Google play store. The version worked in Gingerbread may not work in ICS. So it is recommended that you download the latest version of the games you want to play in ICS.
**Before Downloading you can also contact the developers if the games has any compatibility issues with ICS or not.

HT2693 My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back. Can I get the update out somehow? Thanks

My UPAD lite does not start after recent update. I have lots of info in it. Can anybody help me to get it back? Can I somehow undo the update? Thanks

"UPAD lite?"
I expect that you mean some version of iPad.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Satellite P850-30W - Fan does not run after coming back from sleep mode

I got a Toshiba Satellite P850-30W with bios 1.90.
Sometimes the fan does not run at all after coming back from sleep mode on windows 7.
This has happened twice (maybe more times without me knowing), and Ive had the computers for a month.
Normally the fan starts running when the CPU gets over 50 celsius, and stops under 50 celisus...
I tried running Prime95 when this fan-issue occured and the computer temps got dangerously high (close to 100 degree)! the fan did not start at all
...this error could potentinally damage the laptop...
to get the fan running again I have to restart windows
anyone else experienced this?
I guess the fix would be to never use sleep-mode...or toshiba needs to fix it with a bios update.

What kind of answer do you expect here in user community?
Exact info about the fault? I dont think that somebody would be able to provide exact answer but just speculations
In other Forum you can read about Satellite notebook; but is it exacts the same model?
No, it seems to be an L650 series. Its completely different series .
From my opinion its not software related problem.
BIOS issue?
Well, in case it would be a BIOS issue, the problem would appear always and not sometimes after being shut down 200 times.
It could be a hardware related issue. Memory? Maybe
In my personal opinion to get more details hardware diagnostic software should be used in order check the hardware for possible malfunction. Thats my personal opinion

Satellite L870-165 does not work after being repaired by their service

Laptop Toshiba warranty does not work after being repaired by their service twice.
Model: Satellite L870-165
Computer will not boot, stays with black screen stating: No bootable device-Please restart your system
After reboot still happening the same.
I called Toshiba phone incident and after trying several options I said take him to repair the service.
They first told me it was the hard drive, then phoned me to indicate that reinstalling and finally it was the motherboard, which supposedly changed. The day after being picked computer repair returned to give exactly the same error, only malfunctioned one evening.
After another call to 902 the Toshiba warranty service, I went back to take the service, this time I changed the hard drive. When I got home the computer did not start even once, again gives the same error.
I believe that this team comes with a factory default so that its solution is not easy because even the technical service told me that I did not know what else to do with it.

>Computer will not boot, stays with black screen stating: No bootable device-Please restart your system
This message pops up because the notebook cannot find the Windows system.
There could be either an problem with the HDD or maybe the HDD is OK but the Windows system isnt preinstalled properly.
You said that the service agent changed the HDD. But did someone install the Windows system?
You can try to do it yourself take your recovery disk (hopefully you created such disk in the past) and boot from the recovery disk in order to install the system.
In case booting from the Disk would not be possible, go to BIOS (F2) and disable the secure boot and change from UEFI to CSM mode

I found out that besides setting the library, I should also set the classpath.
I tried to set the classpath by setting the environment variable CLASSPATH: path1.jar; path2.jar; path3.jar.
I also tried to set it with the command prompt:
CLASSPATH = path1.jar; path2.jar; path3.jar.
But when double clicking on my .exe file, it still does not run and I still get the NoClassDefFoundError.
Please help. Thanks!

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.
