New BIOS fixes incorrect power-on password prompt Document ID: 98082329 Posted Date: 08/21/07 Last Updated: 08/21/07 Category: ACPI, BIOS, Password Distribution: Public Applicable Models: Satellite P100-ST7111, P100-ST7211, P100-ST9212, P100-ST9612, P100-ST9412, P100-ST1071, P100-ST9732, P100-ST1072, P100-ST9762, P100-ST9772, P100-ST9752, P100-ST9742, P100-ST9712, P100-ST9012, P105-S921, P105-S9312, P105-S6074, P105-S6034, P105-S6124, P105-S6114, P105-S6104, P105-S6102, P105-S9722, P105-S6062, P105-S6022, P105-S6084, P105-S6064, P105-S9339, P105-S9337, P105-S6227, P105-S6217, P105-S6158, P105-S6148, P105-S6207, P105-S6197, P105-S6187, P105-S6177, P105-S6167, P105-S6157, P105-S6147, P105-S6134, P105-S6024, P105-S6054, P105-S6014, P105-S6004, P105-S6012, P105-S6002, P105-S931 << hide Use of any software made available for download from this system constitutes your acceptance of the Export Control Terms and the terms in the Toshiba end-user license agreement both of which you can view before downloading any such software.
Issue

The computer models listed above may display a "Password =" prompt when the computer is turned on, even though no power-on password has been set. If this happens, there is no password that will satisfy the password request. If the computer is turned off and back on again, it is very likely that the same password prompt will appear. The computer will be unusable until this problem is fixed.
If the problem has not happened yet, you can prevent it from happening in the future by upgrading the BIOS to the newest version.
The occurrence of this problem on any particular computer is unpredictable -- it may never happen, but it could happen any time that the computer is turned on. If this problem does occur, it will be necessary to send the computer to a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider, who will fix the problem at no charge to you.
Resolution

If this problem has not yet occurred on your computer, then click the following link to download and install BIOS version 4.00. This BIOS displays a power-on password prompt only when a power-on password has actually been set via the BIOS Setup program.
You may also browse for a newer version of the computer's BIOS at pcsupport.toshiba.com.
For more help, see Support Bulletin 98081213 Obtaining downloads and support docs from the Toshiba Support website.
If the problem has already occurred on your computer, then please make arrangements with a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider to have this problem fixed at no charge. To locate a Toshiba Authorized Service Provider (ASP), please visit Toshiba's Global ASP Locator at http://pcrepair.toshiba.com.

goto control panel, select add hardware and let windows look for the hardware. if you are lucky it should identify the drive, if it does let windows install the driver and it should work! (if it's a driver issue). If it doesn't have the driver, you should check if you have a cd with the driver software.

buy a new laptop

Motherboard repairs are often poorly done and they are expensive except for the simplest jobs like replacing the DC jack. And new motherboards are also generally very expensive. And cheap way out of this is buying a used battery charger or a used working motherboard. eBay is usually the best place to start. Good luck!

This is a bad pixel sensor. Your screen has hundreds of vertical and horizontal pixel sensors on the edge, if one goes out on either end it causes a dead pixel line through the screen. Unfortunately, the only way to fix it is to replace the screen. If you can live with the annoyance, I've seen screens last for years with a pixel line without any other problems.

I would suggest running linux based GParted live cd. Under linux you can alter the sizes of partitions and configure the partitions and format in NTFS/Fat32/

If you want to try
click on the Download the latest version

Bad battery connector on your motherboard

you can connect laptop and tv with the help of s-video cable
and also after u make connection successful, another cable is needed
for audio to convert sound from laptop

The program that controls the functions on the pad is called Synaptics. If the small red Icon does not show on your task bar, you can find it in program files. I had the same issue and turned it off. I forgot how I had done it so it took me a while to remember where to go to turn it back on. Right click the icon and go to properties. Then go to device settings and you can disable it or change settings however you like. Hope this helps you.

Those are items I would have done myself to test it. It sounds like some item is bad on MOBO (motherboard) it will have to be replaced in any case. I would order a new battery and a replacement MOBO for that unit. If your under a warranty Toshiba would have you send back the laptop to them so they can repair it. Or have local authorized service center send a tech with replacement parts to fix it onsite.

solved?

Compare all your internet connection settings to the laptops that work well. Mirror your settings to match a laptop's that is working properly.
You might also want to re-install your internet drivers. Go to your Toshiba site. They should have all the drivers for your model.

bot ur pc from cd rom then after then when it asks you to format or repair you have to pres R to repair OS.
AFTER YOU ARE ON BLACK SCREEN TO REPAIR IT you have to type 1 + enter
after that it will ask for ADMIN PASSWORD if you have it type password and pres enter also if you haven't pres enter
at the next line type this cmd

chkdsk /r + enter then wait for C.A 30 MIN until it finish and then after it is done type exit and enter and remove boot cd from cd rom

DONE!!!

This might be a software issue with your video driver (follow Microsoft's built-in Help to test that, and look for an updated driver for your particular hardware) but it is fairly unlikely to be a driver issue. The thin lines running through your screen are usually due to screen failure -- hope you have your warranty, because this is a hardware issue and usually pretty expensive if you're out of pocket.
