    Hi.

    You cannot remove a bios, you either have to flash to a new version or see if you can flash back to your original one if you can as the updater might only accept a newer dated bios

    there are ways to force a flash, but you will need the bios, you could try and contact Toshiba, but i would wait and see if anybody else can help more!

    I can only find 2 bios`s for the Qosmio X300

    1.30-WIN32 and 1.30-WIN64

    Regards

    John.

    yeah mines work fine. Maybe you already know about it but you can turn the lights on and off with the multimedia buttons above the keyboard. The one between the sound and camera buttons. Don't know if that helps.

    maybe you downloaded the wrong bios update for the x300. i know there were 2 and the model numbers are almost the same.
