Tecra 8100 BIOS Damage
Hello. Apparently, a BIOS reflash doesn't solve all of your problems.
When I tried to reflash the BIOS to repair the laptop, it had a BIOS write error. Now, when I start the laptop, it says something about needing a Toshiba Maintenance disk from a Toshiba serviceman. My question is, where can I find that disk on the internet? Is there a way that I can attempt the BIOS reflash again? I have reattempted it, but whenever I do another attempt, sometimes it just sits there for minutes and minutes without showing any progress. |

If it had a write error, then it could be the ROM chip or some other circuitry on the mobo that is bad.
What were you trying to "repair"? Maybe the mobo is toast? |

I made an earlier post about doing a BIOS upgrade....from Windows 2000. Everything seemed to go fine, and then the computer wouldn't turn on again. I figured a BIOS reflash would work, and now I'm stuck in this conundrum.

read the updating bios guide in the bios forum. Unless your motherboard has a safety, reserve bios, you will need to replace the motherboard.
