Hi buddy,
the only thing you could do is to bring your machine to an ASP (authorized service partner) for a hardware checkup or BIOS repair because you in your situation cannot do anything.
Please, contact a service partner and send your machine to them, its the only way to solve your problems.
Heres a link to find the nearest ASP in your country:

Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) - After BIOS update it doesn't boot again

Hello there..
Please help me to overcome this issue.
I have downloaded the latest BIOS for my Satellite L300 PSLB8E. The previous BIOS was 1.90 but I was facing some nework related error so I thought upgrading BIOS may help to solve it. I have download a new BIOS which is exe file 2.10, its installed successfully and then shut down but never booted again. I have tried to boot it many time. I have tried all the keys. I can only see one power led and two battery light.
I dont know what to do now. I have a recovery disk but it also not working. I'm stuck.Ii had a bunch of emails to reply I'm lost now.
Please help me someone.

Hi dhaval2000in,
Unfortunately I think the case is clear: Something went wrong due BIOS update and now your notebook cant start anymore :(
The Toshiba recovery disk will not help you because it doesnt contain any BIOS reflashing programs it contains only a recover image of Windows with all drivers and tools.
In my opinion you have to contact an authorized service provider in your country to get rid of this because the guys have to reflash the ROM module.
Im sure you can clarify this problem with the technicians and then you can use your notebook again :)

Satellite M40X: After Bios update keyboard keys don't work properly

I have a Satellite M40X and I had update the Bios to v. 1.60 and now the keys u, m, 7 and the arrow up are not working properly. The problem is that there is not other Bios version to use.
How can I resolve my problem?
Can I recover the old bios version?
Thanks
Gabriel

Hi there,
no you wont be able to recover the old BIOS. The only two options are:
1. Retry the BIOS update and check if its working
2. In case of no success, please visit the [ASP Locator|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT] to search for the nearest ASP in your country and to ask them for a hardware checkup and repair.

After BIOS Update cannot boot Satellite C640 using USB Stick

After upgrading my Toshiba Satellite C640-10E (PSC02E) bios to 2.00 WIN, I cannot boot the laptop using USB Stick, When I checked the BIOS using F2 I was stunned because the USB connected to laptop was labeled as FLOPPY drive. Is there any option to downgrade the BIOS?
Thanks

From my experience the BIOS is able to boot from
- USB FDD (floppy disk)
- Primary HDD,
- USB Memory stick
- Network (LAN)
So I dont think that your USB memory is recognized as a USB FDD but the USB FDD appears as a separate boot device.
It would be interesting to know if another USB flash memory would act as your old USB flash stick.
PS: as Tonny suggested: you cannot downgrade because you dont have previous BIOS version only Toshiba service agents are able to downgrade the BIOS using traditional BIOS.

Satellite L630 dead after BIOS update

Hi
I have a problem with a Toshiba Satellite Laptop L630 model PSK00E-017019EN (UK model).
A Toshiba software scan recommended a BIOS update and as I had been having some issues with the laptop I decided to let it run . . . bad mistake!
The laptop will now not fire up into bios so is effectively dead.
I have downloaded various versions of the Phoenix Crisis Recovery Disk (which will build a bootable USB flash drive with MINIDOS.SYS, PHLASH16.EXE and a generic BIOS.WPH) and have also downloaded the latest BIOS from the toshiba website.
The downloaded Toshiba BIOS is an exe file SL630_L635_WIN_B140.exe which will extract to the following files using WINRAR (I have also tried picking up the files from %temp% after running the exe file with the same result).
The files I get are:
BB10140.FD (4170kb)
Ding.wav (104kb)
InsydeFlash.exe (764kb)
iscflash.dll (1760kb)
iscflash.sys (14kb)
iscflashx64.sys (23kb)
and platform.ini (9kb)
I was expecting to see the actual bios in the form xxxx.rom or xxxx.WPH so that I could add this to the bootable flash drive to reflash the bios.
So my actual question is, could someone point me towards where I can download the correct BIOS.ROM file for this laptop and also where I can obtain the correct version of Phoenix Crisis Recovery Disk software.
Also could you confirm the correct key sequence to boot to the Crisis Recovery flash drive . . . I have seen mention of both FN F and FN B (both used without battery and whilst plugging in adapter and then power button) . . . the FN F routine seems to boot the Flash drive but obviously without the correct WPH file it will not solve the problem.
Thanks
Phil

OK
.... well contacting Toshiba support was about as much using as whistling in the wind!
They had no knowledge of reflashing the bios, certainly could not send me an image for a crisis disk (even for a charge) . . . and their only suggestion was to have the laptop picked up for assessment and quote which would cost nearly 100 even if I didnt have it repaired. (I doubt if the laptop is worth much more than that)
So back to the forums in the hope that someone might point me to the correct USB Flash drive flashing routine for this laptop!
I have a feeling that the bootblock might now be damaged on the BIOS as it is now behaving differently if I try to flash the bios.
If I put the correct "bios.fd" file on a USB stick and then use FN-F on power up (no battery installed) then the usb stick flashes once, machine powers up, stays on for about 10 seconds and then restarts back to the black screen.
I have also tried (as suggested on one forum) putting all of the extracted files from the bios exe from Toshiba onto a stick + the FD file renamed as BIOS.FD . . . still the same result.
I am close to sticking it onto Ebay as "spares or repairs" . . . HELP!
thanks
Phil

Satellite L300-26K - After BIOS update the touchpad doesn't work anymore

Hi,
like recommended by tempro, I updated BIOS from ver.2.1 to 2.2 (windows-Version). After rebooting, touchpad incl. tips doesnt work anymore. In bios touchpad is enabled, in system it says unit is working properly. FN/F9 makes no effect. Reinstalling synaptics drivers - no effect - still dead.
Satellite L300-26K
Using Vista 32bit home
How can I restore BIOS to 2.1 again? (if i try the windows-bios utility from V2.1 it says it is still installed - so I cannot downgrade by this easy way)
Please help - I need my notebook without external mouse (this works)
yours
Oliver

Hi enigmo,
I cant imagine that this happened due the BIOS update. Have you tried reinstalling Windows by using Toshiba recovery disk?
This BIOS downgrade can only be done from an authorized service provider. The technicians can install every version because they have such special tools to make a downgrade.
On the Toshiba website you can find a list of them. Just give the guys and ask for that. They will help you! :)

Equium A60-173 - After BIOS update no boot

Hi, I have a Toshiba Equium A60-173 running Windows XP.
I just attempted to update the BIOS and all was going well until it shut down and did not switch itself back on. I waited and waited then powered it up myself. Result was a black screen or maybe even screen did not power on. I left it like this for about 5 mins then thought it had crashed so tried to switch it off to restart. The power button would not respond so I left it a little longer then removed the battery (<<<idiot I know)
Now the laptop will not boot, I press the power button and get: beeeep beep beeeep beep then it shuts off :S
I am lost and hope I haven't just destroyed my girlfriends laptop!
Any help/steps/advice very much appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
Unfortunately if BIOS update fails you can do nothing because the ROM module must be reflashed from a notebook technician
So you must contact a service partner in your country and ask for help. The guys can help you to get rid of this.

After bios update, doesnt boot up...

Hi I went throught that bios update from live update deal. It works great most of the time but this time the computer wont display. I mean I can hear the drives going and all as if its ok, but no display comes up. I have an athlon 3400 with Mushkin memory (one gig total) RADEON AIW 9800 pro and an SATA controller card with a raptor 36 gig, so, what should I do? I reset the bios, that didnt do anything.

Hi,
You will not be able to run board without a HDD and a floppy or CD. Once you have these fitted what does d bracket show? Let me know if the rig beeps, and how often
Don't muck about with battery, Ram and things on the off chance it might do something, more likely get a spike of static and blow the system.
What PSU are you using, what amps does it give on the 3.3v the +5v and the +12v lines
This is most likely a bad connection, short, missing component or inadequate PSU.
May be RAM, have you made sure you earthed yourels to case before touching inside case, especially Ram or CPU.
Cheers

Satellite C55-A - after BIOS update cooling fan runs faster

Hello,
I was informed by Toshiba application that new BIOS version is available I confirmed it and BIOS was updated. Now I have problem. Cooling fan runs faster than before and it is very annoying.
Can I find older BIOS version somewhere and roll it back? I don't need it if it doesn't work properly.
Now I have version 1.40. Is there some solution for this new version?
Message was edited: posting has been translated

Toshiba EU driver page provides only the latest BIOS version.
Furthermore the BIOS downgrade isnt possible using the win-bases BIOS update.
In order to downgrade the BIOS on Toshiba unit, you will need to use the traditional BIOS update method which requires special BIOS version. This is available only for authorized service provider.
At the other hand there must be an serious reason why the cooling module run faster.
Maybe the cooling method has been improved in new BIOS just to ensure that internal parts would be cooled down properly.
Its just an assumption but I think it makes sense
By the way: after each BIOS update, you should load the BIOS default settings and should save the changes. If you havent done this in the past, do it

Black screen on Satellite A100-712 after Bios update

I bought a new Satellite A100-712 and i did a bios upgrade, everything went well in windows and when the laptop got restarted it is stuck on the black toshiba screen which is displayed when we switch on the lapto.
Any suggestions please, I would be very thankfull

> i doubt toshiba didnt verify the drivers properly for all models
Sorry but I do not agree with you. BIOS update is very sensitive part of notebook upgrade and exactly there Toshiba must be 100% sure that everything works well. As I said in my previous posting I have updated BIOS on two WXP delivered A100 notebooks. One with number PSAA9E and other one with number PSAA2E. BIOS update on both units was successfully finished and I can confirm that offered BIOS on Toshiba download page is the right one.
Which model is your A100 (PSAxxx)? I have made BIOS update on PSAA9E because of VISTA OS installation. What is your reason for BIOS update on your A100?

How to enable LCD sensor in Satellite C850-B374 after BIOS update?

Hi, friends
I m currently a satisfied Toshiba customer since april 2013. I have been using laptops since 2007 having used various brands I found Toshiba to be good one.
I have recently updated the Bios from 6.0 to 6.50 from the Toshiba service station.
Update was successful and the computer works fine.
But after rebooting the LCD sensor which activates the Power button in this specific model of laptop is not working. After entering the bios setting utility i came to know that ec version is 6 and bios version 6.50 At this point How to enable the lcd sensor to automatically boot while i open the lcd
Ashik

>How to enable the lcd sensor to automatically boot while i open the lcd
You want to boot up the notebook by opening the lid. Right?
In this case you have to enable the option within the Windows 8 system settings
[Why does my Windows 8 notebook start automatically when opening the display lid?|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ2C03FA0001R01.htm]
You have to look for the option called: +Panel Open - Power On" feature+
This option needs to be enabled in order to boot up the computer automatically when the display lid is open

Satellite Pro P300 - After Truesuite update I can't open protected files

Hi,
sorry for my bad english but I came from Italy and here we don't have any forum who can resolve my problem.
I've got a Toshiba Laptop pro P300 with fingerprint reader. I use fingerprint to logon and protect some files, just for curiosity, it seemed cool...:|
The problem born when I recently update "truesuite access manager". Since I did the update I can't open protected files, I didn't read that I have to remove the protection before the updating (damn...), but these files are important for me and I have to open them again.
To resolve the problem at first I restore the system before the date of the update, to have the old version and open these files again, but all my fingerprints are deleted and I can't create new fingerprints because the pc says that it "can't open the sensor". I don't know what it means.
I thought that it needs some drivers, so I reinstalled truesuite access manager several times, I reinstalled BIOS, I've done the scan disk and the toshiba diagnostic, but the sensor still doesn't work.
I think that if I can save a fingerprint with the old version of the program I will able to open protected files again (and I will not protect them anymore) because only the old version of the program knows how to decrypt these files, but I don't know how to turn the fingerprint sensor on. Someone could help me, please?
Thank you so much!

The Truesuite update come from the Toshiba website. I can open the Truesuite program with my fingerprint but I can't decrypt files because it says that I don't have the correct "key of protection" or the "protection code keyAC 3000" of the file.

Satellite Pro L300: BSOD after BIOS update

Hi
after update the Bios of Satellite Pro L300, the windows not start!
Its show the blue dead screen!
What can i do?

Hi
Are you able to access the BIOS settings?
Im not quite sure why this BSOD appears but possibly the SATA mode settings have been changed after BIOS update
Usually the SATA mode should be set to AHCI if the SATA drivers are installed.
But if the SATA drivers are not included the SATA mode should be set to compatible.
Please check this!
Furthermore you could set the BIOS to the default settings and could try to boot the machine again.

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:
