    Looks like you have a Canadian model. You can find drivers/bios files here [put in your model or part#]: Toshiba Canada - Support

    However, it currently looks like the site is down or completely screwed up, as it won't let you select which model you have; hopefully it's fixed soon.
    Hopefully they'll have a BIOS that will fix your problem.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I had been on this same site and downloaded the v.6 and screwed up the BIOS. now I need to reverse and flush it back to original.
    I have been trying hard to find the old version but fail.

    I hope someone on this site will be able to guide me to find and and how to reverse flush the BIOS.

    Regards
    FLDS
