Default bios password toshiba satellite a135-s2276

What is "mylar"? I have the same problem...but I don't know what is the MYLAR????PLEASE, tell me how to find it...please

I have a Satellite A135-S2356 that had the same problem. I tried the solution from PCTServices above and it worked great.

"Power unit off. Disconnect AC power. Remove battery. Remove the memory cover screw, memory cover and the memory modules. Peel back mylar from JOPEN1 solder pad. Short JOPEN1 solder pads for 30 seconds. Replace mylar. Replace memory modules. Replace battery. Power up unit. If all is well, replace memory cover and screw."
Just short the two little solder pads and it worked great! I thought I would have to send it back to the manufacture but I am back in buisness. Thanks for the help.

my laptop is toshiba Satellite A135-s2286 and i have a problem with the bios passwod i.e, when i restart my system a black screen with a blue box appears and asks "enter password" so how should i fix this problem, please mail me with a best solution @npatel661@yahoo.com

There are a few ways that I can find through research...

Power unit off. Disconnect AC power. Remove battery. Remove the memory cover screw, memory cover and the memory modules. Peel back mylar from JOPEN1 solder pad. Short JOPEN1 solder pads for 30 seconds. Replace mylar. Replace memory modules. Replace battery. Power up unit. If all is well, replace memory cover and screw.


You can also simply take the unit apart and remove the cmos battery from the motherboard. The battery may be soldered on, you'll have to carefully remove it with a flathead screwdriver. You will not have to solder it back to the motherboard.

This is a common glitch with toshiba laptops. You may want to contact them with your issue to see if they can tell you anything other than these two options.

type password

i open the toshiba laptop batry but bios again ask me password and i forgot the bios settup password

The Toshiba support site now admits the problem where the computer starts insisting on a BIOS password during power up, even though you never set any such pw. The Document ID is 98082321. Go to Toshiba support site, enter your model # and choose "Support Bulletins". It links to the BIOS patch you can download (if your computer is currently ok). If your laptop is currently insisting on the bios pw, Toshiba offers no DIY fix, but says they will fix it for free if you get the laptop to one of their support centers...

hey man,
i just tried the solution and it really really work. shorting the JOPEN1 under the memory modules did the trick thanks a lot man I really appreciate it.

Solution # 4 worked just fine for my laptop.
1. Removed Battery
2. Removed RAM
3. Removed Wireless Card
4. Removed Chip under Wireless Card

Waited for some Minutes, turned computer ON and was able to access BIOS.

Thx,

Must take the laptop to a Certified Toshiba Repair facility. They can zap it. Covered under warranty. This is a common problem with this model. I had the problem with mine and the above is the only thing I was qualified to try. Works fine now. When fixed, download the new BIOS from the Toshiba website.

Got to the cmos battery. Tried removing it from the motherboard to no avail. Didn't want to damage my friend's laptop. Ended up sorting the positive and negative, which sucessfully removed the password.
