BIOS is not appearing in Toshiba tecra laptop M1

Hold down the Esc key and press and hold the power button until the on/off light on the system indicator panel illuminates (green) for approximately one second. When the following message appears on the screen: "Check system, Then press [F1] key," press F1. The System Setup screen appears.

If that doesn't work, try powering on the laptop and when the Toshiba splash screen comes up, hit F2 or F12.

One of these methods will get you in to the BIOS setup.

Formatting a laptop is the same as doing it on a desktop computer.
If you are using the Windows installation CD then to get the laptop to boot up with the Windows CD you can change the BIOS boot startup device and make the CD the first boot device.

Esc then F1 or F2

This is especially difficult to do since it is to prevent theifs. My tip offers some suggestions that might work but you are on your own.

If this answers your question, I'd appreciate 4 thumbs. I do this for fun and do not get paid.

press ESC several times at the screen when you power on then a screen will appear press F1 and there you are .....

this is due to the bios problem. check for bios update from service provider then press fn+esc+power button when light start blinking put your pen drive in the usb port after 1 -2 min, it boots up . that files are like flashget etc.

Good day to you.
I have a toshiba Laptop with Bios Password problem. I cannot start my system anymore, cos the laptop is requesting for Bios password which I dont know or have.

hi


go to your bios setup when it wants password press enter .thats all your password is disabled.

other way that clear your bios setup with help of jumper settings.

third way put your cmos away from its position for 15 min your bios is clear.

I assume youve tried everything.
you have 2 options.you havent said what type of password this is but these methods will sort all.
if its a bios password you need to find rtc(requires dismantle)
and remove battery for 5 minutes then replace battery.reassemble and restart.if its just a personal password reinstall window os
