Satellite A80 - bios update gone wrong

my A80 had a strange problem as described here : Model Content Page...

but since it's already after toshiba's warranty period, i downloaded this bios : ACPI Flash BIOS version 1.30 for Satellite A80, filename : sa80v13.exe.

since the unit stuck on the open screen asking for password (and no password installed!) i copy the file bt1013a.rom to diskette and renamed to amiboot.rom, and tried to update the bios using this method : Bios Recovery Procedures. plugged the external floppy and turned on the unit. after couple of minutes of nothing happen ( i thought ), i turned off the unit and tried to turned on again. but now, all i got is blank screen with strange beep codes, 4-5-3 beeps.

is there any way to restore my A80?

 

Have you tried and contact toshiba, i know it is out of warranty, but this problem is different than others. The laptop is unusable.
it's never a good idea to turn the unit off while flashing if you don't know whether or not it is done. My advise is to flash it again, and wait a bit longer. If that doesn't work you have to disassemble the laptop and take out the battery. Try to find the reset button if there is one. I hope you didn't screw up your laptop by doing the recovery because , sometimes, it can go bad.

 

i already disassemble the laptop, the cmos battery is soldered type, tried to short it, but still stay the same ;(

 

stay the same mean it locks or give you the beep code.

 

If the batt was soldered on one side, you might lift it up slightly and shim a piece of paper underneath for 30 secs and hopefully it will reset.

 

solved, the problem was the memory, changed the memory and the beeps gone, but i still stuck with password, that i didn't put. browsed to toshiba support, and found this, Model Content Page.
is there any way to do it my self instead of sending to toshiba?

 

try to put in the wrong password and let see if it shows you any error code
