    Yes, the upgrade flash went wrong with me also, as so many i've seen.

    I tried getting 3 different bios versions from the internet, 2 from the toshiba site (2.0 and 2.1 i thought) and alaa200a.rom.

    When i make the crisis disk with the crisdisk.bat (even doing it in DOS) it copies all files on the floppy, also tried the different phflash versions. Older ones seem to actually load for 2 minutes, the newer ones tend to load for a few seconds then stops and starts loading again etc.

    Needless to say, all my efforts with those bios haven't paid off for one bit.

    When i put the notebook normally on, and when i press the Fn button on the keyboard, the Fn light actually lights up, but nothing else happens.

    Anyone who might have any idea what to do more, apart from buying a new bios chip?

    Thanks in advance.

    It seems that the boot block is looking for the bios. I am sorry but i have no further advice. Hopefully someone will come along with further help.
