• Equium A60-155, don't 'sees' new HARD drive

  I have an old Equium A60-155, P5A67E and tried to install a new drive hard - one Samsung 120 GB, 5400 RPM IDE.
  However the BIOS (ver 1.90) is not 'see' and has no auto-detection option I see either - in fact it has very few options for anyone!

  The existing drive (original) is a Fujitsu 40 GB IDE.

  The 120 GB should be not OK, below the barrier of 128 Gb? - but would be using a suitable HARD drive utility (-Samsung offers a version of OnTrack) to make the drive HARD smaller 'look' for the Bios, be any help anyway? Is that the new drive faulty? Any other ideas?

  Any help is appreciated!

  I agree with you and think that 120 GB should be recognized correctly. It is not easy to say what the problem is here. BIOPS value default settings and check again. If the same problem persists, try using a different HDD with 80 or 100 GB to see if any of them will be recognized correctly.

  Problem is that you have limited options with all this and that he cannot do much. Either it is admitted or not.

• Equium A60-155 - HARD drive upgrade

  I have an Equium A60-155 with 40G HARD drive.
  The manual says that this model comes with up to 80G installed, but is it possible to upgrade to 120, or even 160G?

  Hello

  If your laptop comes with a HDD of 80 GB then you ve got a good chance a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive would be supported.
  I have no course with a size of 160GB HARD drive but I m m the 160 GB might be too afraid.

  I recommend you use and test a 120 GB

  Hi Jack

  I don't know if you the chip memory is damaged or is not compatible with your device, but as far as I know your laptop works with PC2100 DDR - RAM (1280MB max) however I found some information on parts compatible with Equium A60 - 155 m.
  You can use:

  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

• Equium A60 - 155 clicks when I try to turn it on

  see you soon

  Josh

  Hi Josh,.

  Your A60 equipped with a pre-installed system or you have set up your system CD provided?

  Your laptop must turn on without the battery, so it is possible that there is no operating system installed for the time being installed.

  Have you had the correct PSU for your A60? Your card must be able to supply sufficient power for the laptop or that it does not start.

• Question of Eve Equium A60-155

  Hi all

  I an Equium A60-155, which was set up a few times (some with DVD original recovery and a few with the Windows XP Pro CD standard), but has still a problem persistent... whenever the unit to standby and then brought out of standby, it fires upward, but with a black screen and no response from the keyboard. The only way to get into Windows is turned off manually and restart normally.

  Someone else had this problem or a solution? I think it might actually be the hardware at fault because he had so many different re - installed.

  Hello

  I read that the graphics driver and BIOS upgrade might be very useful in such cases.
  You should compare the pre-installed driver and BIOS versions with the versions on the Toshiba page. If there is a newer version, then I recommend to update these applications.

  Your comments would be very appreciated.

• Equium A60-155: can't access CD/DVD drive

  I own an Equium A60-155 with an extra 512MB memory installed. My problem is with the carpet * a DVD Super - multi Drive.

  When I insert a disc the busy light flashes for about 5 seconds, I hear a small amount of activity, but then it just stops and it stays on permanently. If I try to access the drive through windows, it seems to be empty!

  I had this problem before and it sets just once! I don't think that it is windows such that the drive has the same way (busy light always on, if the disc is in the drive) before even windows has started. My warranty ran out earlier so he sent set is not an option?

  Does anyone have any ideas, what is the problem?

  Hi Joe

  I put really know what can help, but you can try to remove the drive from the Device Manager list. Restart the device and check the functionality again. After you restart the new hardware (CD/DVD-ROM) unit will be recognized and installed correctly.

  If the problem persists with any type of media (original music CD and DVD) it can really be some malfunction of the equipment.

• My opinion on the Toshiba Equium A60-155

  I've had an Equium A60 - 155 during almost a year now and I'm quite impressed by it. For £730 I paid for it, not worth it.

  I had to increase the ram with another stick 512 for another £60 as the laptop does not work even with the standard 192. By that, I mean system breaks down, abnormal system responses, spontaneous reboots, system files/missing features, anti-virus program, just basically a machine unreliable, unusable failures.

  I will say that now the extra ram is installed, the software is more stable and most previous problems disappeared. But Toshiba is expected to have delivered it with 512 MB in the first place!

  And the battery on this is terrible! There is barely even a laptop! On a good day with battery all the saving settings on max I get about 50 minutes of it--and Yes, a year ago, when it was new, it would last together 30 more minutes at about 1:20. At the point where the thing was started in Windows and you install to work, it is for food then you might as well forget about asking him and always run from the network.

  How Toshiba charge that kind of money for a laptop that has this kind of performance? There is nothing on the laptop that can justify this money... the graphics card? Average. The processor? Celeron - enough said. The motherboard? Standard. The battery life? Laughable. The DVD burner? A bonus, but not worth the extra money. The size? Large.

  Just that there is more that I could do about it I wish and Toshiba could be made aware of the misery that they have caused me (and probably many others) during this 'portable '.

  * Note to the mods - please do not remove this post once again. Why do you feel the need to remove it anyway? Send me an email.

  I don't want to sound harsh, but you shouldn't really complain if you had bothered to check the specifications before you buy. Regarding the system crash that you can't just blame Toshiba is much poorly written drivers in XP bugs bugs in the BIOS firmware. Make sure you have XP installed with all the latest service packs for updates also updates BIOS (there has been 3 since I bought my A60-181) and if you want to try a different operating system to install Linux or use a distribution like Knoppix bootable CD.
  The battery life on laptops are poor, in general, I have seen some rival brands that quoted 1.5 hours but that the technology for you and having a processor Celeron doesn t s helped no more. That said that 50 minutes seems short for load complete so I recommend to contact Toshiba and see if they replace.
  The Admin of this forum is probably done only by ensuring that all messages on this forum to help are useful asking the nature. Making negative comments about products Toshiba on a Toshiba forum isn't clever but if you have a problem, then ask for help instead.

• Replacement of the hard disk for Equium A60-155

  I need to replace the hard drive in my equium A60-155. I need to know what is compatible with this model and if the brand of the drive is important in compatibility. For example should be a drive hard toshiba or is it possible to others.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  You n t need to install a HDD in particular of Toshiba. You can also use disk of another company.

  It is important that you use a HARD drive with support for hardware specifications.

  I found these useful discussions on the replacement of the HDD on the Satellite and Equium A60:

• Is it possible to upgrade the processor on Equium A60 - 155

  Hello

  Is it possible to upgrade the processor on my Equium A60 - 155. There is currently a Celeron D 2.6 Ghz and its so slow! I can put a P4 chip in or is the motherboard a Celeron only (plug 7 a bell rings)?

  Thank you

  As far as I know spend CPU is not possible and thereby you can upgrade RAM to the maximum level. You should also configure and optimize the pre-installed OS and I sure that you will be satisfied with your laptop of my.

  In my opinion, the processor is powerful enough, but there are also other factors that may be responsible for slow operating system.

  which screws can I remove to access the cooling fan if you please. (Equium A60-155)

  Hello

  Unfortunately, don t find all documents on the fan to replace procedure, but in my opinion it should remove much of a screw covers.
  This procedure is not easy and if you don't have any experience you shouldn't t remove anything.
  By the way; If you remove the cover, you will lose the warranty.

  In this case, the best way is to contact Toshiba service in your country for assistance and more information.
