Ok, I’m going to keep this direct and detailed, yet short as possible. I have a Toshiba Satellite P105-6134. Today I was browsing the updates page on Toshiba and noticed for my model a BIOS update. ‘Ok’, I figured, ‘guess I’ll go ahead and do’ is what I thought to myself. I had down BIOS updates several times over the close to 2 yrs of having my system and other the nervous jitters I get of doing a the update for the most part I’ve had no issue.
….until today.
I went about doing the update as I normally do for a BIOS and then kind of let it run its course (stepping away from system to go do some other things around the house)–after the download and install it seem to shutdown normally, so I didn’t think anything strange. When I came back I saw my system at the Vista splash screen (I have it set to the aero-like blue/green wave) as I figured it was well on it’s way to getting back on to the log-on screen. However, after waiting for about 15 mins….it was still stuck there…..20 mins…still there. Needless to say, to make a long story short WELL over I guess 40 or so more minutes later it’s still there!
The only light indicators that are on that I notice are the power-related ones (battery, reg. power indictor, and the ac indicator) the other 2 which deal with my ram and hdd/processor (I believe) are not on–at least not at moment. As I said, I stepped away from my computer at point in which my system came back on–so I did see the BIOS jump screen show (I just assumed it did since it was already at the Windows splash screen when I turned). I’m doing my very best not to freak out, and in turn do something rash; so I’m going to ask this: should I turn off my system and turn it back on to see if it boot through? I haven’t cut it off yet and I don’t really want to if it’ll further enhance the issue. But I’m at a lost…..I didn’t get any error messages or anything like that so I don’t know what to make of it. Any suggestions would be absolutely appreciated. Thanks in advance.
