X205-S7483 Flash,Freeze,Fail

Bottom line I just maxed out my memory and installed two new HDD's on my x205-s7483; I then proceeded to install Win7. After awhile I had a problem getting my Mass Storage Controller installed, I hadn't flashed the bios yet so I then searched for an option; I then discovered a 64 bit solution so I proceeded to flash my bios. As it ran for quite some time (1hr +) it was frozen and not thinking; as I force closed (killed all power + battery pull, power button did nothing by the way total freeze) and now i have nothing but a power indicator the HDD's spin and my CD-rom will too, but no display or Bios. I have seen some links to BIOS recover disks, a UK site has one but it’s like 7 or 8 bucks American and I don’t know if it would do anything; it says no matter the operating system it will recover BIOS… really?. Anyone have options or ideas, I figure my bios is gone now but i have no idea of the options available to me if this is the case. Thanks in Advance, Jinsama

Most places charge about $100 or so to fix it and the turn around time depends on where you take it or send it. Some places can get it back to you in about a week while some places are taking much longer. If the system is dead it's impossible to load a bios repair disk to fix it. That is caused by bios coders who don't know what they are doing. PROPER bios code requires that the boot block remain seperate from the rest of the bios to avoid an issue like this. It isn't supposed to be touched during a bios flash. These days people are in too much or a hurry and just write the bios file and updater to flash the entire bios chip and when the flash fails there is no boot block to fall back on preventing one from reflashing the bios without an eprom burner.
Also, if you ahve used a Windows based flash utility successfully in the past you were lucky. I've rarely seen it work correctly, and when it goes bad there is NO way to do anything about it. With a self booting disk based flash utility, especially a FLOPPY disk one there is normally a chance to save a flash going bad if one is prepared for it.
As far as 64bit support, that has as much to do with the chipset venders as it does with Toshiba. 64bit is fairly overrated at the present time. Most users are better of with 32bit at this time, especially on laptops.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Problem with Win 7 and x205-S7483

Hello!
I have Win 7 for a few weeks.
My Satellite x205-s7483 constantly freezes at viewing of video and Internet surfing. I can't do anything on my notebook during this time. This situation continues for a few minutes. With video this problem returns in 7-10 minutes. Help me, please.
Sorry for my very-very bad English. In my country nobody have this problem and I want to get your recommendation.
Thank you!

Is the memory failing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Let's try to learn more.
Note the computer-clock time when lock-up occurs.
Open Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) and expand Windows Logs.

Flash freezes on Mac G5, dual 2,5 MHz

Ever since I upgraded from Flash MX 2004 Professional to
Flash Professional 8 on my PowerMac G5 it doesn't run. All I can do
is
open the software but as soon as I click on a menu or a
button, whatever, like changing the size it freezes instantly. I've
searched the forum and every possible place to find any answer that
can solve my problem but it seems like I'm alone with this, I can't
find any information anywhere. I've even tried to un-install and
re-install Flash again but same problem still occur - freezing. Has
anyone had the same problem on a Mac G5 with dual 2,5 GHz
processors, in that case – what did you do to solve the
problem? I'm out of ideas and can't figure out more.
My specs are:
PowerMac G5 (2005), dual 2,5 GHz processors
Boot ROM-version: 5.1.8f7
Systemversion: Mac OS X 10.3.9
Kernel-version: Darwin 7.9.0
1 GB RAM memory
Apple 20" flatscreen, 1650 x 1050 pixles resolution
Flash Professional 8, upgrade (Flash worked fine before the
upgrade!)
All other Studio softwares I upgraded run and work great,
except for Flash.
Please help me, I need HELP!

I also have to add: I can't even click on Preferences in
Flash, nothing. It freezes instantly. It run as long as I don't
touch ANY button or menu in Flash, as soon as I do anything, touch
a menu or button Flash freeze.
Anyone know what to do? Or shall I throw it out and install
an earlier version like MX 2004 Professional, that version of Flash
worked. Please, please, please... Help.

Flash Builder fails to copy over static files in incremental compiles

During incremental compiles, the Flash Builder fails to copy over certain static files (such as *.js and html files). I have my own html wrapper and during incremental compiles it fails to copy over this file and also deletes the file from bin-debug/bin-release. I have to do a clean build instead to ensure these files are copied over.

Just tried this out on an IIS server with Flash player 10.3.181.14 - it worked.
Are you using the release version of Flash Builder 4.5 with the release version of Flex SDK (not a prior SDK build)?
The URL you mentioned gives me a 403 forbidden error.

any idea ?

I did the same thing, TAC support said they've had like 20 people complain about this. He said "there is no reason to update the boot code on a 3005 model. It is only needed on the 3015 and higher models to support RAM chips larger than 256MB." TAC support said DO NOT UPDATE the boot code on the 3005.
I suggested that they make note of this SOMEWHERE in their documentation. He provided me with some hidden low-level commands to erase the boot code, but as he said the 3005 doesn't need v4 of the boot code, and the boot code hasn't been tested for it, it's possible it would just break the concentrator. He then added the only way to 'fix' a damaged boot code is to replace the entire unit. He suggested we not touch it anymore, and leave the boot code running as-shipped.

Help. Flash player fails to update??

I am running Windows 7 64 bit computer. Update for Flash player failed at 65% with comment :- error failed to register-: how do I overcome this problem please

Dear Dominic
Brilliant reply. Simple English. Simple to follow instructions. And it worked immediately, first time.
Why couldn't the Apple and Adobe corporations get their programming right first time? We spend billions of UK pounds and US dollars with them. They reply with incompetent programming such as this, and arrogance to their customers in issuing faulty systems without doing the most rudimentary checks.
Anyway, I certainly shan't be buying another Apple as this is the most unreliable, most incomprehensible, most illogical and downright thoughtless shoddy piece of computer kit which I have ever owned. And all of it is rubbish ~ emails disappear, photos can't be organised properly, spreadsheets don't work, Pages is laborious… the list goes on and on...
But thanks to you Dominic, I have been able to load Adoble Flashj… maybe eyou should get a job at Apple, and set them all on the right course to how to work simply and correctly with customers.
Thanks again,
David

JVM Error 547 - Flash Write Failed

Hi, i got the 547 error after a long way of many other errors, it start by installing a new app using the stupid DM and my BB restart after the installation and i got 507 error, which mean no software, so i doubt it and tried to pull the battery, sim card and SD, wait for some time, return the battery, and 561 error was there, tried again and nothing
after search on crackberry and blackberry forums, talking about JL and BBSAK, used both to wipe and re-install the OS again,
of course i remove the vendor.xml from common files and user "document and settings" folders
during the installation it load until the net_rim_cldc.cod and restart on its own, and the loader give an error not able to connect again, so i wait until my phone restart with error 507 and click on retry, it stupidly erase every thing again instead of continue from the stop point and it reach the same point and restart, so i fall in a loop
i tried to delay the net_rim_cldc.cod to the end by changing the Platform.alx, and i tried to cancel this file from Platform.alx and it stuck with the truetype font.cod
i remove this OS and i tried to download from a different service provider, "again of course i remove the two files for vendor.xml" but no use
then i used the BBSAK to add manually all the basic files which is 220 modules, and i left the net_rim_cldc.cod to the end, suddenly my phone try to start and keep restarting every 2 minutes, and after several attempts is give me the JVM Error 547 "flash write failed"
no i cannot connect to BBSAK, the only way is to connect to the loader without battery and wait until it finish erasing then i can connect to JL to wipe or BBSAK
but then what?? i will end up between BB apploader which cannot finish the installation and BBSAK which can put the 220 files in 220 steps and the phone will not load
now, any BB genius can help??

Flash Builder fails to connect to debugger

I've noticed this problem after doing a clean build of all projects (app and libraries) in my workspace. After a clean build, when I launch the application in debug mode, Flash Builder fails to connect to the debugger and is usually stuck with a status of "Launching app: (61%)" for a long time and ultimately reports an error. However, if I just do a clean build of the app (no dependent libraries), I don't have this problem.

You may be hitting this infamous issue: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-16153 (multithreading problem in Flash Player, supposedly fixed now but not released yet). The more CPUs/cores your computer has, the more often you will encounter this issue.

X205-S7483 Won't Boot, Power Light on, Fans Off, HDD Off, Screen Black, CD Drive doesn't open.

I gave my Toshiba X205-S7483 to my brother to use and about a year ago I was told it wasn't working anymore. He says it was his son who was about 3 at the time who broke it so I don't know what was done. I don't notice anything obvious. I couldn't work on it at the time and a friend of my mom offered to take a look at it. This guy must have been after something else because he took it apart and gave me back a bag of parts. I have to laugh at bs like that because life is too short. So the laptop stayed as a bag of parts for about a year. Sad I know. Reminds me of the old Pixar movie about the sad little Lamp and toaster. Anyways, I decided to make an effort to bring this baby back to life. I took the time and put it back together. The problem is still there but I believe everything is there and I didn't break anything else. I have been reading around in the forums and the only other posts I have found refer to a situation where the CD drive works, the fans spin and the Hard drive fire up. In some the computer doesn't post. However in my situation I have a power light which leads me to believe the MotherBoard has power but I don't have anything else really. The battery light and charge lights are working as well. I used a multi meter to verify proper voltage at the charger output. I have yet to pull it back apart enough to test voltages on the motherboard. If anyone has any advice on what to look at specifically that would be awesome. I plan on checking for a fuse around the power supply. Only other thought is to buy another board. I would like to fix this if I can. I like to tinker so I'm in no hurry.

Have you tried running it on an external monitor? If the lights work, fan spins, etc, but you have no display, even with an external monitor, it's either a video card or motherboard issue.

Flash Freezes up on frequent calls to XMLSocket.OnXML event handler.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to plot data received in real time on my chumby device which supports actionscript 2. Flash however freezes due to the high data rate of my application. Does anyone know of a way to avoid freezing up the GUI due to the seemingly intensive socket communication?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello everyone -
Since I last posted an interesting update happened. I tested my Flex application again, it is calling a Jetty Server that returns a JSON object, in different BROWSERS. I disabled HTTPS for now, and the crossdomain.xml policy file is wide open for testing (ie. allowing every request to return data). So the app accessing the data using HTTP only. Browsers - IE, Opera, Firefox and Chrome. Each browser contained the SAME application, revision of the Flash Player (10.3.183.10 debugger for firefox, chrome, opera, safari PC; 11.0.1.129 consumer version in IE9,) take a look at the screen shot (safari not shown although the result was the same as IE and chrome)
Note that Opera and Firefox returned successful values (i.e. successful JSON objects) using the same code generated from the Data Services Wizard. Chrome, IE and, Safari failed with an Internal error. So I am left wondering - WHY? Is it something with the Flash Player? the Browsers? the Flex SDK? Any thoughts are appreciated. Again, the code is found in the original thread above.

Flash freezes (halts/hangs) when using SLC FastForward flash based product. Help!

I'm using Windows XP SP3 - Chrome Version 23.0.1271.97 m, Firefox 17.0.1. - i7 Q Core 3.4 Ghz, 4 Gb DDR 3, AMD Radeon HD 6452 (Video Card) : The screen seems to completely lock up with no response from the HID (Keyboard, Mouse). I have to restart the computer, sometimes it will let me restart the browser. I'll be using the product for several minutes and the computer locks up. It mainly occurs in Chrome and am wondering; since it's a peppered version of Flash that it's requiring more resources from the video card (512mb) it's locking the system up. Anyone have ideas why flash would be failing/freezing during the use of this product? The symptoms and behavior are similar to those that occur when using other flash based products such as YouTube. Any one have any ideas?

the next time it happens, post your logs. /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be one of things to look at. Check your CPU usage at that time. See what process or processes are taking most of the CPU cycles and/or memory and other resources.

Problem with Windows7 and Adobe Flash freezing computer?

Hello All, There is a problem with Windows7 and my Adobe Flash causing my computer to freeze. So, Skype, videos, etc will not work. Have tried many things to solve problem. Can Oracle VM be used to run a different operating system...such as XP or Vista where Flash will work properly? I would hate to have a new operating system installed on a new computer. thanks

If you mean Oracle VM VirtualBox, then yes, definitely. A free download, it installs and runs great on Windows 7. http://www.virtualbox.org/

Flash Installation Failing

Attempted to update the flash on my 15" Retina Macbook Pro running OS X 10.10 today, only to get the error "installation failed" which provides me a link to a support page. After extensive research on Adobe forums, I followed several pieces of advice for a fix with no avail. For example:
I uninstalled the flash version I currently had, restarted my computer and attempted a new clean install as suggested by Adobe. Did not work.
I've attempted to run an install using that backdoor method of "show package contents" and installing from there. Same error occurs.
I've downloaded the .dmg file a few times incase I had something wrong with the download. I've restarted computer multiple times. Still nothing. Now I don't even have the previous version of flash installed on the computer, because the previous advice was to uninstall it altogether.
Any new suggestions out there?

Hi radiatedesign
Thank you for providing the screenshot it is as it does confirm you and OP sarahrannals are having the same error.
To address your other comment, by posting 'same thing' and not providing the previously requested information slows down our ability to assist you, as your issue may or may not be the same as the OP. Many people post "same thing" but it usually turns out that their issue is not be the same thing as the OP For example, in this thread, melinda_o said she had the same problem as OP sarahrannals, but the offline installer worked for melinda_0, and is not workging for sarahrannals, and probably won't work for you either, therefore, melinda_o did not have the "same issue" as sarahrannals. This is the reason for asking for the information, to verify if it was indeed the same issue.
sarahrannals and radiatedesign
Unfortunately, the FlashPlayerInstallManager.log file didn't provide information on the failure. This usually indicates a permissions issue in the filesystem. Repairing the filesystem and filesystem permissions may resolve this. Please see the section on First Aid in this Apple tech note, Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck - Apple Support. Run both Verify and Repair Filesystem and Verify and Repair Disk Permissions. Sometimes the verify step will return clean, but the repair step will fix some things.
After completing the above. Delete all Flash Player installers you may have downloaded and download a new installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer. I recommend clearing the browsers cache first to make sure a previously cached installer is not downloaded again.
