    I'd say you have bricked your notebook, but there are people more knowledgeable than me in this area. Try contacting Toshiba and see if they can fix it.

    This is a delcitate situation; send it to a Toshiba repair center, to fix your BIOS.

    If your laptop is still under warranty I will 2nd icefly's suggestion and send it back to Toshiba for repair. Additionally, disclosing what you did may not be a good idea... as I don't think that there is a way to recover from this with a soldered BIOS chip...
