    I have a toshiba m115 the laptop was password locked. I called tech support and they told me that I would have to take it to an authorized dealer to get the problem fixed. After reading many forums I finally found a fix. Did the fix and ended up that the harddrive also needed a password in order to boot up. Managed and found the password and got into the operating system. I downloaded a bios fix that was recomended by toshiba for the bios because apparently that is what had happened in the first place. So I installed and rand the bios flash update and now my m115 will not even boot up. I can push the power button it turns blue and the screen is black but nothing else happens. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    Your BIOS update probably didn't flash correctly and you have probably bricked your laptop.
