Updating the BIOS can give problems if the wrong upgrade was installed or the BIOS update was not completely installed/finished. If possible go into the BIOS and roll back to the previous version of the BIOS/backup version of the BIOS.

- Try removing the main battery and the BIOS battery wait for 1/2+ hour then Insert the BIOS battery but leave the main battery out and power up the laptop. The laptop may then power up and allow you to go into the BIOS configuration. You can insert the main battery after you shut down, or connect the main battery while to laptop is still powered up.

- You have a serious problem, contact Toshiba and give them the details of your problem and ask for a fix/solution to the BIOS/startup problem.
