• Equium A60-155: how to clean the fan?

  This isn't a problem as such, more than one request. How do you clean the fan? A litle while ago my laptop kept turning off itself, and it turned out to be part of the problem I the fan was clogged so I was wondering if anyone knew how to clean so I can myself sorting in case it happens again. Thanx

  Hi Jemma,

  The problem is that dust is sucked into the fans and is then trapped in the radiator CPU effectively blocks.

  A good way os compensation this accumulation of dust is to use a hose of vacuum cleaner against the aspiration air grills so that dust is sucked in. Just put the hose against the grids of aspiration air for a few seconds and block any gaps around the pipe with a cloth.

  Kind regards

• 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.

• 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,

• Blue screen on Equium A60-155 - "Driver IRQ not less or equal" stop 0 x 0

• 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.

• 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:

• 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...

• 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.

• Equium A60-155 will not start

  Hello

  I have an Equium a60-155, that I knew that she works for a while, but recently I came with a new poroblem... my laptop guard turn off without notice and loses all power.

  The battery has been dead for some time and lasts about 5 seconds, but I've been using the AC adapter.

  Recently, she stops and even the LED lights for the power/battery adapter / is not on.

  At first I thought it was the fuse in the adapter which could have been blown so I replaced it, and it started to work again, but then after a few minutes, it stops and lost all power.

  I had this during the last days and I noticed that it regains power when I unplug the power adapter from the mains supply and remove the fuse and put it back in but his lasts only for a few minutes.

  I don't know if it is a hardware problem or I just need a new adapter. Someone at - it similar problems and can offer any adivce?

  Hello!

  What do you think that the laptop is overheating? I don't know, but if so the laptop would also immediately turn off m.
  So, try to clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. So you don't have to disassemble the laptop.

  If it doesn't help it's really hard to say what the reason is for this maybe you should bring the laptop to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the laptop.

• Cannot install XP OS on my Equium A60-155

  Hello guys,.

  I had a laptop series Equium A60-155 about 3 years old worked when I used last and it was about 2-3 months ago. I turn on the laptop yesterday into the to use and she charged up to the logo then no activity on the display showed after that.

  I formatted the laptop with Windows XP Home edition disc and then tried to install Windows XP Home edition, but it keeps stopping at 53% in the installation process.

  I went to a technician, and his suggestions were:
  -Possible overheating,
  -Damaged, hard drive
  -Configuration of the bios,
  -Damaged the motherboard or,
  -damaged band memory.

  I tried again this morning, but even once, he stopped at the same percentage as yesterday 53%. If you have any suggestions that require the problem please post your here on this post.

  Thanks to those who responded.

  Hello

  I also suspect that the HARD drive is faulty. If possible, try to get the second HARD drive for testing. It doesn't have to be a new brand. Test it and post the results.

  We can just speculate on possible problem, but I agree with technician. Take the first step and test the HARD drive.

  O Yes, you can also clean the laptop before starting the procedure of facilities. After only that the laptop will be cooled much better.
