Equium A60-155 died - how to change the motherboard?

Hello

A week ago, I used my laptop Equium A60-155, I turned it off for the night. The next morning, he lights up no battery or AC, the lights on the front of the LT do not come on either.

I tested the AC and it is very much pushing the 14.8V.

On another forum suggested to abolish the HD to see if that would help (it didn't).

So it might be that the MOBOs dead (in which case I'll have to buy a new one when I get a job, or internal theers fuse who jumped (if it exists).)

If there is an internal fuse can I replace it myself and what is? (I'm on a job and can not afford the repair costs, some charge 70 Quid to pick it up, and another Bill 110 quid + parts)

I guess it's just a matter of undoing the screws on the bottom?

Hello

I suggest also to contact the ASP in your country, because he can do a diagnostic test and can give you a detailed response.
Maybe you n t need to change the Board of Directors, and perhaps only the part low cost has a failure.
But to find out the laptop must be verified.

  • Equium A60-155 will not start on the recovery CD

    Hey,.

    Just got a computer satellite phone of second hand from a friend who has been upgraded - gave me for free because it doesn't seem to work properly (he thought was a problem of HARD drive).

    I replaced the HARD drive (with one I formatted on my desk but an envelope that I have for it) and have the recovery DVDs, but I can't do anything with the machine... when I turn on I only get to the Toshiba logo screen and does not go any further (with the exception of time weird when I get a blank screen)... now the C button or trying to get into the BIOS (tried hold ESC F1) (, F2 or F12) does not work.

    I opened the machine and everything is correctly connected - the DVD player also seems to be spinning and reading the disc, but nothing loads of it.

    Anyone know what this could be and what I can do to fix it, or is it a lost cause?

    Thanks for any help!

    Adam

    Hi, EIB

    I assume that this satellite has installed Toshiba BIOS and therefore, it should be possible access the BIOS by pressing ESC then F1.

    You said that this laptop does not have the Toshiba logo screen it seems we can't get the MESSAGE correctly well I m sorry to say but in my opinion the portable hardware malfunctioning.

    Maybe something wrong with the jury. and not with the HARD drive

  • Equium A60-155 - touchpad cable required

    Hi guys,.

    Recently, my mousepad on my laptop has stopped working. So I took it to a computer to check it out.
    He concluded that the cable that connects the mousepad on the motherboard had a small tear in there that cut through some of the metal strips.

    So I am buying a new internal cable of mousepad from somewhere but I can't find anywhere that sells it.
    MY warranty has run out and I do not get a response from technical support Toshiba (at least not yet).

    Anyone know where I can get the Toshiba Equium A60 - 155 Mousepad cable that connects the motherboard to the United Kingdom?

    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Generally, all Toshiba laptop parts could be bought of the ASP in your country.
    I think that guys would be able to order directly from Toshiba.

    If one of the local FSA does not, then try another service point.

  • How can I copy DVDs on the HDD on Equium A60-155

    Anyone know if I can copy DVDs to the hard drive?
    I have an Equium A60-155 and Sonic Record now and Intervideo winDVD creator on it.

    These two programs say that they allow me to copy to a blank disc, but don not say if I can copy on the hard disk.

    Hello

    sure, why not. Go to Explorer windows and do copy - paste, which should make the thing.

    Otherwise, there should be a few good programs like "Isobuster" that can do almost the same thing...

  • 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.

    see you soon,

  • Equium A60-155: replacement of the cooling fan

    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.

    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)?

    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.
