Toshiba P755-S5270 Won't start after BIOS update failure

I was informed by Toshiba Service Station that I needed to update my BIOS. During the update, my laptop froze. After powering down it would not start again (Black Screen) the power comes on but nothing else.
Any ideas?

I understand if I would have just decided that I would change the BIOS for no good reason, I have what's coming to me, BUT when Toshiba's program "Service Station" that came loaded on my laptop, says that I need to update and I use Toshiba's program "Service Station" to do just that... and it fails... one might think that the program is to blame.
If this Update was suggested by anything other than an approved program that came loaded on the laptop, I wouldn't have done it.
What really irks me is that I've owned this laptop for one year to the day and my warranty just expired!
Oh Well... Lesson Learned.

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

Hp compaq 6510b won't start after BIOS update

hello
when I power on my laptop HP compaq 6510b it DISPLAYS this message :your bios failed to complete the update 6510b.after flashing the bios the laptop won't start .it displays the same message (your bios failed to complete the update 6510b) and turns off.I can't access the bios by pressing F10.the bios version was F16 and flash it by F20 .need help thank u very much.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I extracted BIOS softpaq sp55553. It is BIOS version F.20. It had the .SIG file inside when extracted using WinZip. You do not need to make a bootable usb flashdrive. Just put the files at the root of a FAT32 formatted usb thumbdrive, plug it into a usb 2.0 port. Hold the Win + B keys down and press the power button. Continue holding the keys down until the notebook reacts. It usually takes a bit longer than 15 seconds to respond and begin the BIOS recovery.

Lenovo Z580 won't start after BIOS update

I wanted to update the BIOS of my lenovo Z580 but when it restarted it said "start PXE on IPv4/IPv6". When i booted without LAN internet cable it gave a window with this: boot menu

Oh yeah before you say this in BIOS hdd is ranked higher than IPv4/6

hi! you probably upgraded to 5FCN95WW BIOS, didn't you? you need to switch boot mode in BIOS. I can't remember which option is enabled by default, but there are only two of them - UEFI and Legacy. you have to change to the one that isn't set by default by the way, you should know 5FCN95WW is buggy, and downgrading to 5FCN35WW would be your best bet. once you sort the boot problem out, check this guide to downgrade: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Guide-BIOS-Downgrade-from-5FCN95WW-to-5FCN35WW/td-p/1781189/highlight/false

X201 won't start after bios update

I just updated the bios from the download I got through lenovo system update, it completed fine then shutdown.
Now it will not power up not even to post screen, I have removed all parts and tried removing backup battery but still nothing.
If anybody knows of a solution help would be appreciated.
Lenovo x201 i5
Type 3680

if removing the battery and press the on/off buttons ten times doesn't work then you have a bricked BIOS.
1. Either you get a new motherboard
2. Find a company that can reflash the bios on the hardware level.

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.

Portege Z930-118 wont start after BIOS update

my PORTG Z930-118 failover and wont start after i upgrading in middle of upgrade i remove power and press shutdown bottom after that i see the power and wireless but screen still black ?
Any help please

Hmmmm.... BIOS upgrade interruption has screwed up BIOS and thats the reason why your notebook doesn't start properly. BIOS is damaged now.
In such case you need professional help by authorized Toshiba service provider.
On this forum you can find many threads about similar problems. Some people have tried to fix this alone and if you are interested to read how one other forum user has fixed it check please this thread.
Ayway, you can contact nearest Toshiba service, explain the situation and ask for help.

Satellite A100 - Windows and BIOS doesn't start after BIOS update

Hello, I have updatet BIOS of my notebook sattelite A100.
After updating I cannot start my notebook and BIOS doesn't start.

Hey guys... I tried to update my girlfriend's BIOS on a A100 just now (the windows installer) and the procedure stoped in the middle because windows crashed while doing. Now the laptop won't start at all (obviously). I have a black screen when turning it on. No boot sounds or anything. I've already removed the AC power source and battery in case that works. I guess removing the BIOS battery won't help either since the flashing was wrong... In case that doesn't work, is there any chance i could find a BIOS from ebay or somewhere else?
Thx in advance, Jimmy..
PS. My gf is going to shoot my brains out :P

Stuck at windows starting after bios update boot

Model: Satelitte P755-S5120
Part NO: PSAY1U-OVD026
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
I get stuck at starting windows everytime I restart my computer. This happened right after I installed a bios update and rebooted my computer to finish it. I could never get back in.
I tried running diagnostics but it didn't seem to find any errors. I tried restarting it in safe mode and all other modes but I keep getting stuck at starting windows.
Funny thing is when I restart my computer on safe modes, I could see the files loading and on all of them it always stopped on \windows\system32\drivers\CLASSPNP.SYS
Maybe that file is corrupted, I have no idea.
Also tried repairing, and after it loads window files it goes into a black screen and it stays there, nothing happens. I let it run for an hour or so.
So any ideas? I'm not a computer guy so I don't know what else to do. Please help.

If you didn't burn a repair disc, download one from here. Scroll down to Windows 7 System Repair Disc 64-bit.
Create a Windows 7 System Repair Disc
Use it to boot to the Windows Recovery Environment.
Try the Startup Repair from there. Sometimes it takes several times.
Also, run this disk check at a command prompt. It may take a long time.
chkdsk c: /r
Then try Startup Repair again.

Firefox won't start after windows update

After windows Updated my computer Firefox won't start. I tried a clean reinstall two times, won't work. When I tried to start the firefox the first time after booting my computer it comes with the following message.

I do not see much about coloum 14, but I am guessing this file is stored somewhere and its corrupt. Update.xul suggests that it is the update file. Do you still have this in your downloads folder? There are two places for update and for a clean reinstall:
[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/] in a private window will give you a new install or you can choose from here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/]
This is what the file should look like; [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/log/7a2edc5171e6/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/content/update.xul] If you can copy and paste that file from a working browser we can see the issue, but it will just look the same as the error.
if you can replace the contents of the file locally with what it should look like it will fix the error, but who knows if there are other errors. May be best to delete the updater and save all the profile folder contents.

Apps won't start after latest update?

Hello,
I'm on an older 2006 iMac (the one without the black border) and I installed the latest update last night. Now I can't get Firefox, Safari, Mail or apps working properly. When I try to start an app it bounces up and down and then I can't remember what it says but it won't start. Any ideas how to fix this? I'm thinking of downloading Firefox and Safari on my sister's computer and then transferring them via my memory stick.
I also tried a restart. Last night I just shut it down and walked away and figured I'd deal with it when I get home from work today.

Hi, first I hope you have your important stuff backed up!!?
I would & always do Repair Permissions Before & after Updates, so I would try the RP ..
Then I would go the SMC route, specific for your model..
If after that you still have "issues" You may need to go the Archive & Install route..

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 :)
