    Hey guys, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-PSAG9E here. Tried flashing to the latest BIOS version 2.20 from Toshiba's site, but the power cut out mid-way through the flash process. The laptop's not booting up anymore.

    I've googled around and have found out that the Insyde BIOS has a recovery mode where you place the BIOS file on a USB drive (FAT16 formatted) and performe a routine by holding down a key combination, plugging in AC and starting up. I've already tried this, to no avail with several different key combinations. Could anyone help me out?

    Laptop is out of warranty so calling up Toshiba isn't really an option. The BIOS filename is PO10220M.FD.

    Anyone know what the key combination is for Toshiba laptops?
