Tecra 8100 BIOS damage

Hello. Apparently, a BIOS reflash doesn't solve all of your problems.
When I tried to reflash the BIOS to repair the laptop, it had a BIOS
write error. Now, when I start the laptop, it says something about
needing a Toshiba Maintenance disk from a Toshiba serviceman. My
question is, where can I find that disk on the internet? Is there a
way that I can attempt the BIOS reflash again? I have reattempted it,
but whenever I do another attempt, sometimes it just sits there for
minutes and minutes without showing any progress.

Find the Toshiba Service Center nearest you. Take your notebook to them
to clear the BIOS. My experience with TSCs is that they will very often
do simple things free of charge.

Will they do the same without a warranty?
