The keyboard of my toshiba, satellite m35-s311 with opensuse 10.3, disabled after I installed an rpm to detect my usb modem, which was usually detected as a flashdisk .

After rebooting, my attempt to access the bios to make sure what was happened failed.

I reseted the Bios to factory setting by shorting the jumper pad. But I still can't get my Bios access back.

Could possibly the new rpm modify my bios ?

I downloaded the latest bios update for sattelite m35x-s311 from toshiba official website, burned it, booted it, it ran for about haft way then crashed.

Now I don't know what to do, please help me , Thank you

At the POST Stage that indicates a Hardware Failure of some description not a Software Issue.

In answer to your question here [b]No[/b] any software that you install can not affect the BIOS it only affects the Software after it loads in the form of the OS.

Now assuming that the BIOS Flash Failed and you no longer have a working system as per the warnings on that should have been on the Toshiba Web Site your only real option is to replace the M'Board as the BIOS Chip is soldered onto the M'Board and is not replaceable.
