I have searched and found nothing, however, I have this problem. I have a Toshiba Dynabook C9 (214LDEW). The other day, I restarted my computer, and my startup screen was CHANGED! No longer was i greeted with the nice Dynabook Logo, but an ugly red Toshiba "in touch with tomorrow" logo. NASTY!!!!!!!!!!
I have been very nice to my laptop, and I wonder what I did to deserve an ugly red startup logo rather than the nice dynabook logo i have seen since i got this computer.
I suspect this was a bios problem. I tried resetting to defaults, i tried pulling the cmos battery and waiting a hour. but all i got was a reset system clock.
I have searched the net short of learning Japanese trying to find a bios patch or update to get my dynabook logo back.
Please help me, I know it may seem stupid, but I liked my dynabook logo, not a ugly red Toshiba ad.
(bios says it is acpi 1.50)

as in, i had this logo....
and something happened where now i have this ugly thing
HELP PLEASE
Thank You in Advance!!!!!!
Toshiba Dynabook C9 BIOS problem
Absolutely sure, I had been using my laptop off and on for the past week exclusively in my study. I had been using stand-by mode instead of shutting down, until I uninstalled winDVD or something that needed a reboot, when I rebooted, I got a strange "press F1" message, thinking I must have hit [esc] accidentally, i hit F1 without even reading the message (foolish me). The computer rebooted rather than entering BIOS and wham. there is the Toshiba logo, rather than my nice Dynabook logo... That's partly why I got this laptop, it is a JDM laptop, and branded dynabook rather than just a Toshiba.
So in short, YES.
I am not sure how someone would flash my bios when I can't even find any bios' for this computer.

According to useless Toshiba tech, this machine has been out of warranty for 3 years, but when i pulled the cmos battery it reset the clock to Jan 1, 2000, and i booted off that several times... so no dice.

Oka, It has been awhile, and I would like to ask for help one more time. I know It has probably been decided that this is a useless thread, I am still on my knees... Here is the BIOS from my laptop right now.
