Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 stuck on toshiba logo after bios change

My Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 is stuck on toshiba logo after bios change.
entered bios fine changes from UEFI to CSM boot and now i cannot enter bios or boot past toshiba logo.
Ive tried F2 tapping and holding while powering up the laptop(tried every Fkey,DEL,ESC, with and without FN key)
cannot re-enter bios.
Also i tried to run the bios update cd created multiple  1.50 1.40 even 1.00, it doesnt seem to read any media.
i tried holding C, FN+C and f and just about every key on the keyboard to get something to work. i had dvd as top of boot priority for a while now so i shouldnt have to try f12 or holding C before boot but i tried . it doesnt seem to read any media
i tried windows 8 install cd, Ubuntu, centos, nothing goes past toshiba logo and no errors, i dont get the non bootable device error so its seems to not be reading the dvd. (dvd does spin and make read noises) im trying to find my usb floppy drive to try a floppy version but it acts like its not reading any media.
I also pulled the HDD and all usb devices to make the dvd the only media available and with the HDD out it spins then toshiba logo then black screen with solid white  horizontal curser on top left of screen.(only happens when hdd out)
is there some type of key combination that will force a bios update or a crisis recovery mode for bios.
I also Pulled the battery for 2 solid days(battery,cmos battery, and power supply and held power button for about 10 mins while watching tx to make sure the thing was drained before the 2 day sit with no power at all.
this happened the second i changed from UEFI to CSM boot so its not a motherboard problem or anything like that because all was well before this setting change.
I already pulled the HDD and backed it up to another drive and swapped it to elimiate that.
any ideas on a secret key combo to force a bios read from dvd or usb or anythng.
or another combo that im just missing to enter bios after CSM boot.
UPDATE
to do a crisis recovery on this laptop
1 get a usb stick and format it in fat or fat32
2 download "7zip" and install it if you dont have it.
3 download bios from toshiba website.
4 run the installer for bios but dont choose and option just close it we just want to extract the files to the location normally  c:\splnvxxx where xxx is the version number like 150
5 goto the installed locaion "c:\splnv150" or whatever number.
6. find file os2014273a_150 or something similar. it will be an application, it will end in version number _150, and it will also have a disc image file of the same name. but we want the app. 
7. right click on it and you should have an option 7zip then extract
once extracted there is a folder now archesxxxxxx_bios_v150_win 
8 copy the bios file located in archesxxxxxblahblah/X64/BIOS.fd , BIOS.fd is the bios and just copy that to a BLANK usb thumb drive that was formatted with fat or fat32.
9. put usb into your satellite and unplug the power from it.
10 holding FN + ESC key together plug the power back in and press power button.
11. release keys FN and ESC if all is right it will have the power button and led on from blink abut every 1 second while it searches for the bios. once its done it will reboot and you should be good to go.
if it keeps cycling with the power button then the bios is named wrong or something is not right with the usb. try reformatting it again and make sure that the bios file is the ONLY thing on the drive.

Ok a little research and digging into the bios exe downloaded from toshiba shows this has INSYDE BIOS witch should have a recovery process wich i prepared a usb stick with just the bios.fd on it found some post around toshiba forums with different models using win +B or Fn + F but neither of these worked for me to force bios update
anyone with this model know the key combo to force recovery

  • Satellite p75-a7200 error on boot. Please help ASAP.

    Just bought this laptop for my daughter on Christmas. Here is the error information.
    When I power on the system I get a blue screen with this on it.
    Recovery
    Your PC Needs to be repaired
    The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
    File: \BCD\
    Error Code 0xc0000034
    You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. (And so on)
    Press ESC for UEFI firmware Settings (This only puts me into system BIOS)
    How can I make this recovery tool(s) when I can not even get into Windows 8?
    Note: I have another laptop that I can use, but im not able to make a Bootable USB for some reason in Windows 7.

    In case Windows does not boot, you should be able to enter the recovery environment, which in Windows 8.x looks like the picture below.
    From Troubleshoot you can go to System Restore, Safe Mode, Startup repair ("Automatic Repair"), a command prompt,  the BIOS/UEFI, or even restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents from the recovery partition..
    According to Microsoft, trying and failing to boot several times will eventually take you to the recovery environment instead. According to Toshiba, you can also get there by pressing F2 or the zero key on powering up.
    Try many times.
    Have you upgraded to Windows 8.1?

  • Satellite P75-A7200 hard drive mount connector

    I am missing the hard drive mount that secures the additional hard drive on the Satellite P75-A7200.
    Does anybody know where I could find this piece?

    About a month ago I replaced failed 20GB hard drive in a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 with a 40GB Samsung 2.5" Hard Drive that I bought from PC World for 45 (ordered via their website using the collect@store option). Since then the laptop has performed without problems.The only minor annoyance is that the recovery CD's formatted the new hard drive with 2 20MB partitions rather than a single one of 40MB. The main thing to check if you are not replacing drives on a like for like basis is that the power consumption of the replacement drive is no greater than that of the original otherwise you could encounter overheating problems.
    The smaller (20GB and 30GB) drives originally fitted to the A10 no longer appear to be readily available. A 40GB Toshiba 2.5" hard drive is available from MISCO for around 49+delivery.
    Hope this helps.

  • My Satellite P75-A7200 won't boot

    Hi all,
    tried to update my Satellite P75-A7200 to 8,1 .
    Now it won't start up anymore. It said no BOOTABLE DEVICE. I've tried to press F12 when turning on the computer; BOOT menu come up, I don't have the HDD RECOVERY option.
    Can somebody let me know how to fix it or where I can get the RECOVERY MEDIA?
    Thank you.

    I found very interesting document about recovery options after system upgrade to Win8.1
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB4403L30001R01.htm
    I didnt test it because I have created recovery USB before I have started to change preinstalled OS and installed Win8.1 upgrade.
    Please check it out and send some feedback.

  • Satellite P75-A7200 Wireless Card Upgrade

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone has upgraded their Wireless Card in their Satellite P75-A7200. Until I got it home, I didn't realize that it was only a single band card and doesn't support 5ghz wireless N which is all I run my network on at home for bandwidth purposes since my neighborhood is flooded with 2.4 ghz users. It appears its a simple swap to change, but I need to know if if the Antennas support 5ghz.
    According to Intel's Docs:
    "Before installing Intel® wireless adapters supporting IEEE* 802.11a, verify with the laptop manufacturer that the laptop includes a 5GHz (802.11a) capable antenna..."
    I was going to switch it out with a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 or Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth
    I'm just not sure about the midle antenna port that the 6300 has since the P75-A7200 only has 2 wireless
    Attached is what adapter I currently have installed. (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230)
    Any help is appreciated. I am a very technical person, so I'm not a noob at this. Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I was finally able to extract the screw very gently with a power drill and #1 screw extractor. I then installed the new card in under 15 seconds. Booted right up and I had 5gz connectivity with upwards pf 160mbps (and I'm not even close to the router). No need to update any drivers. Definitly worth the $30 investment. Thanks to priuscat for providing the information on what card to get.
    Attached is exactly how the new card looks from Amazon

    Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, try
    DFU Mode Restore: Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer. Hold both Home and Power Button for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode, the iPhone screen should be black, blank.

  • My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode after battery change?

    my iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode after battery change, I decided to change my faulty iphone 5 battery as i was out of warrenty, I managed to chance the battery with no problems (I Think), when i put the phone back together and tried to power on with the power button, nothing happened.!  i connected to itunes and it powered on, displaying the connect to itunes screen (recovery mode) all was going well, the phone was restoring, the image of the phone restoring and loading up was displayed on the screen, when it finished it restarted but to show the connect to itunes screen again, it is stuck in the recovery loop. i tried the steps with holding the power and home button etc, none worked.! now when i try to restore, it extracts software but then, ' the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured (3194)' comes up, any ideas out there???? and Happy Christmas to Everyone ,

    Hello Andyoneill9,
    It sounds like you are trying to restore your phone but keep getting an errror message 3194. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
    Error 3194 or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451
    Resolution
    Important: If you see one of these messages and need help updating or restoring your iOS device, Install the latest version of iTunes and try to update or restore again. After that, follow these steps if you need more help.
    Check your "hosts" file
    After you've updated iTunes to the latest version, you can check the hosts file to be sure your computer can contact the update server. Use the numbered steps below if you’re on a Mac.
    If you’re using a Windows computer, follow steps in this Microsoft support article, noting that resetting the hosts file will affect software services that rely on hosts file redirects. If you're using Windows on a business computer, consult your IT department to be sure applications will still work correctly after resetting the hosts file.
    In the Finder, choose Applications > Utilities.
    Open Terminal.
    Enter this command and then press Return:
    sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    Enter the password you use to sign in to your computer and press Return. You won't see text appear in the Terminal window when you enter the password. Make sure you use a nonblank administrator password.
    Terminal will display the hosts file. Navigate using the arrow keys and look for an entry containing “gs.apple.com”.
    Add the # symbol and a space ("# ") to the beginning of the gs.apple.com entry.
    Press Control-O to save the file. Then, press Enter when prompted for the filename and Control-X to exit the editor.
    Restart your computer.
    Try to update or restore your iOS device again.
    This is the first troublehsooting step to try, so there are additional things to try if needed you need them.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Satellite P75-A7200 won't boot

    Hello all,
    I've had my Satellite P75 for over a year and it's performed flawlessly. Recently though, when I power off the laptop before I go to bed and then turn it on in the morning, it takes over a half hour for the boot sequence to actually reach Windows 8.1. The laptop's power light and keyboard both illuminate, so the unit obviously still receives power. Now, though, it hangs at a black screen and won't reach windows at all after having left it running for over 2 hours.
    I've tried removing and re-inserting the main battery, CR-2032 battery, and HDD, as well as multiple F2 and F12 button combinations on startup. The laptop still stays at a black screen upon power-up and won't reach Windows at all. I can't access the BIOS or the advanced startup options as it doesn't even reach the Toshiba logo anymore. I've made sure not to leave the AC adaptor plugged in as I know it can overcharge the battery; I've also experienced a strange electric current on the aluminium housing of the laptop when it's plugged in (Could this be because the AC adaptor uses 2 prongs and therefore isn't grounded?).
    Any quick fixes or help for this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

  • Toshiba Satellite won't go past Toshiba welcome screen.

    Hi. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that was shut while running and sat overnight without power so it was basically sleeping.
    In the morning, I turned it on and it froze on the Toshiba welcome screen which is the first thing you see when you start up the laptop.
    The keyboard and mouse wouldn't work which didn't let me go into safe mode.
    Also, the little cylinder light that indicates when the computer loads was completely on and stayed on.
    It runs on Windows XP.
    And now it does this everytime I turn it on and won't go any further.
    Please help! Thanks!

    The computer is not finding a boot device or files. Go into the Bios and check the Boot Priority. On most Toshiba Satellites, you either hit the Escape key or the F2 key to get into the Bios. Make sure that the first boot device is the hard drive. Often you will see this abreviated at HDD. Also make sure that the hard drive is being seen in the Bios. If the hard drive is not being seen in the Bios you are not going to boot into Windows. Guaranteed. If the hard drive is being seen in the Bios and is the first boot device in the Boot Priority and it is still not going beyond the Toshiba splash screen, then you have a major software problem. In that case the only option is run the Recovery CDs and see if you can reimage the hard drive. If the hard drive is not being seen in the Bios, this could indicate that the hard drive is not properly connected to the computer or has gone bad. In that case, you will be talking to your friendly Toshiba authorized repair center for diagnostics and repairs.

  • Toshiba-Satellite Laptop Model C655-55225 stopped working after 90 days

    I purchased a Toshiba - Satellite Laptop on 9/30/2011, it completely stopped working on 1/5/12. The laptop was not even used until 12/25/11, as it was a Christmas present for my husband.  I called Customer Service at Best Buy because Toshiba Customer Service has been of no help, only to be told to call Toshiba.  When I called Toshiba the first time they had us run some diagnostics on the laptop, which did not help at all.  The computer will not even power up.  Please keep in mind this laptop was gently used and well taken care of for the two weeks it was in use.  There were no bumps, drops, virus or spills.   I have spent a small fortune on products at Best Buy this holiday season and this is how they treat their customers?  They offered no suggestions or help at all with a product they sold or offered to intercede with Toshiba.  I can tell you with all certainty I will never buy another Toshiba product nor darken a BestBuy entryway.  The customer service is equally awful with both companies. 

    Did they give you any other reason why they wouldn't send it out? It is a pretty common procedure to send it out under manufacturers warranty and I am surprised they would shoot you down. Did you talk to geeksquad or just customer service?

  • Toshiba Satellite L505D-S596​5 - Are there any newer BIOS Failure updates? Last update was 2011

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5965 and got the BSOD. I have searched the forums and found a post; 
                  BIOS Update Failure Satellite L505D-S5965
    I tried creating a "Boot CD-ROM Installation Method   Create CD-ROM Now but the webpage is no longer there. 
    I am having the exact same problem as the above post. The keyboard is not functional once you get past the Toshiba screen.
    I followed the following instructions:
    ‎04-07-2011 06:57 PM - Reflash for INSYDE BIOS.
    Using a separate computer if necessary perform the following:
    1) Download your notebook model's BIOS "*.exe" file from the Support section. Mine was: slm0v150.exe
    2) Extract the files from the "*.exe" file.
    3) Locate the file that ends with ".fd", this is your actual BIOS file.
      *(for different brand BIOS's the file may have a different extension such as .rom or .bin)
    4) Rename your BIOS file to: "BIOS.fd" without the quotations.
    5) Format a USB Flash Drive to (FAT or FAT32) file system.
    6) Copy your newly named "BIOS.fd" file to the root directory of the Flash Drive. (Not inside any folders)
    On the corrupt computer perform the following:
    7) Remove the Battery, AC Adapter, and Hard Drive.
    8) Plug the Flash Drive with your "BIOS.fd" file on it into any USB port.
    9) While holding the Fn and F key on your keyboard:
      a) Plug the AC adapter into your computer.
      b) Hold the Power button until the computer turns on.
      c) Release the Power button and both keys once you hear the fan turn on.
    10) Observe your Flash Drive's LED's blinking, wait until your computer turns off and remove the Flash Drive.
    11) Replace Battery and Hard Drive.
    12) You're computer should be all set!
    I can punch F2 to enter BIOS or F12 to enter Boot Manager, but the system doesn't respond to keyboard in either.
    I attempted to flash BIOS off a USB as described in the above mentioned post, and it never worked. My flash drive lights up and then goes off. The BIOS version is the most current available according to Toshiba, 1.5
    When I removed the HD and don't have a Recory disc in the DVD drive, I get:
    "PXE-E61 Media Test Failure, check cable
    hPXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
    No Bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
    This is the same with the BIOS flash drive or without."
    I have searched for any follow ups beyond the above post and can't find any. I appreciate any help, thank you in advance.
    Kindly,

  • Satellite P75-A7200 headphone jack not recognized at all

    model number PSPLNU-00H004
    i've tried updating all drivers etc, still will not pick up headphones when i plug them in. scanned for new devices in device manager and it just sees microphone and speakers, nothing else.
    any help would be appreciated

    I am having a different headset related problem. the headset I am using is a turtle beach X12. the headset works like its supposed on every system I plug it into EXCEPT my new P75-A7200 with windows 8. the problem being very very low volume. this is a powered headset and even with the system volume at 100% and the headset volume at 100% all sounds are slightly above normal speaking volume. and if there is any backround noise at all I cant hear my game or movie at all.
    I have gone through the system settings and made sure all volume setting were at thier max and still the volume is too low.
    if I plug my headset in to any other system I own, be it my xbox 360 or my wifes laptop or even my desktop. I have to turn the system volume down. a LOT or risk having my ears blown out.
    I'm hoping its just a software/driver issue and that its not because of a low cost cheaply made sound card.....
