Equium A60-181 more problems.

Well, I decided to update my BIOS to 1.90 summer saw questions
with firewire port, however, this has not cured the problem I ve
met (see section flakey firewire...).
I'm not really all that bothered I put t need firewire, but it
look just odd having yellow markers in the Device Manager.
In any case, I met another strange problem with my laptop. While
connected to the grid and with the profile, the value of energy savings
'Normal' my screen goes black after a short period of idle however
any attempt to wake with the touchpad had failed. I have
to move down the lid in the closed position to force her to run in
in standby mode, that's when I was using ftp to transfer files
above. I had considered to be a unique event, but that was up to the
same problem happened again with the latest BIOS.
anyone else had this same problem?

Also, there entry weird in my event logs that I wondered
If someone could explain this:
\Device\ACPIEC: this embedded controller (EC) hardware returned
data when none was requested. This may indicate that the BIOS is
incorrectly trying to access the EC without synchronizing to the BONE.
The data is ignored.

What exactly is an ACPIEC?

see you soon,

Hi Richard

The brightness of the screen, you can change using FN + F6 or F7. Check Please also the brightness of the screen in power management. Under Normal profile, you can set the amount of brightness for each level of battery capacity. There are four of them.

Check this http://www.michna.com/kb/WxACPIEC.htm. It is very interesting.

  • Equium A60-181 (PSA67E) - cannot find the display driver

    Due to problems with some games I did experiments with other ATI drivers for my laptop.
    It turns out that their support for Open GL is scandalously broken so I tried rolling back the drivers.
    Unfortunately Windows doesn't let me do it because I need the original driver files so tried to download on the Toshiba support page.
    Well although it seems that the Equium A60 - 181 aka PSA67E does not appear as a product more also any attempt to seek A60-181 or PSA67E displays empty hits Unlike Google or Msn.

    What happens here? Please tell me Toshiba did not hold for this laptop isn't exactly new or old it is still worthy of driver / BIOS update support especially when needed.

    Akuma is right. All the notebooks are listed in the archives.

  • Equium A60 - 181 und external monitor

    Hi I have an Equium A60-181 with connected Ati graphics card in and monitor external 19 "CRT. While the monitor seems to work I ran into a few problems. By turning on the monitor XP prompted me to install drivers I assume that they are for the monitor in question sheet etc.

    It seems in any case that I'm unable to change the resolution or refresh rate of the screen is set to 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz. I changed the display properties and selected reverse, but when I OK/apply the cursor goes back to 1024 x 768 and the refresh rate is 60 Hz - huh?
    I restarted XP and still have this problem I even Device Manager check for yellow markers so now I'm at loss here is a common problem with Ati?

    Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    see you soon,

    Richard S.

    Hi Richard

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the resolution of 1024 x 768 max for external (second) monitor is restriction of graphics card. Is this the situation even if you use an external monitor just without screen laptop (FN + F5)?

  • Equium A60-181: Win XP does not start successfully - the BSOD reboot

    Hello.

    I have an Equium A60-181 which has an operating system problem.
    Loads of XP logo at the beginning, when it happens to show the log on screen, it is a quick blue screen of death error, and it restarts.

    I tried to go into safe mode, but it blocks on atisgkaf.sys.

    Is that what I can do to save the operating system?

    How can I start to diagnose if it's a hardware problem?

    Thank you, Lawrence

    Hello

    The atisgkaf.sys file belongs to the graphics card driver.
    But as Akuma has proposed, the Windows operating system does not load 3rd party in safe mode drivers.
    This is why the ATI graphics card driver should not affect the start-up procedure.

    However, this is only my personal hypothesis and believe me; nothing is impossible, so a hardware problem might be possible.

    But just a question;
    Have you tried to reinstall the OS?
    The installation process goes smoothly through the unique installation steps?

    I think that the new installation of the operating system is a good idea to find out if it is a hardware or software problem.
    Maybe you should try it

  • Equium A60 - 181 Win XP: card incorrect RLAN - icon notification taskbar

    Hello world

    Ive took my Equium A60-181 for quite a while now and its been fairly reliable, sound always connected via WiFi to my home network.

    Very recently, however, the icon in the tray system for network connectivity was incorrect. He said always I am not connected to the network... but I am, because the internet works and I can still access the network drive that is located on another computer on the network and network printers.

    Why is the system status bar tells me that I am not connected to the network when I am?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    And Happy New Year.

    Rhys James

    Hello

    I presume that you have assigned the LAN TCP/IP address and gateway manually parameters and these parameters are not set to automatic. Am I wrong?

    The same message appeared to me. I connected my laptop to the other PC and changed the TCP/IP address settings.
    It was the reason of this message in the taskbar.

    All simply set it to auto again and you will get rid of this annoying message.

  • Equium A60: USB Hub problems

    I have an Equium A60 and that you just bought a USB 2.0 with 4 ports hub, but it is not recognized when plugged into one of the usb ports
    It causes also the PC hang on shutdown and startup
    Hass someone at - it had similar problems

    Hello

    As far as I know for some USB hubs, it is necessary to install a software that can help to use correctly. Some of them are plug and play devices and there is no need to install any additional software.

    I use Satellite 1900 and also have USB hub and it works correctly. In my case, it was necessary to install the driver before the hub is connected. A demon of the mine has Belkin hub and in his case, the driver has been installed after that the laptop has recognized a new hardware component.

    All this is based on the producer of hub. I hope you have some instructions how to connect the hub to the laptop on the right feel.

  • Equium A60 - 181: strange deformations on the cover

    Hello.

    I have an old p4 A60-181 for 8 months with screen 15 3.06 inches.
    On the external plastic lid, I noticed a strange thing, starting to happen.
    Looking forward and down on the cover above the left side about 2 inches to the bottom and 2 inch from the edge begins a discoloration of the blue cover and on a thorough inspection, it feels like it has distorted in an area about 2 inches in diameter.

    I suspect that something hot in the electronics of display is originally a problem to the external case.
    Not happy about this.
    Someone else noted this?

    Thank you
    Paul

    Hello Paul

    If you think that there is something serious, in my opinion, you should contact the authorized Service partner and let check the device. One of my friends has the same unit and I was interested if it has the same problem, but everything is as usual.

  • Equium A60: Blue screen problem

    I have a series of A60 Equium (PSA667E), refurbished. There is a blue apearing screen sometimes when I start sending me an error message. I tried to update my BIOS, like the Web site noted. But a message tells me that I have no need, because its already set to level. So, I have the correct BIOS but my problem blue screen persist. What I can do...

    Hi Eduardo,

    Can you give a little more information about the error message on blue screen? These usually occur because the operating system has encountered an error serious and can not continue, but without the details of the screen, it is not possible to advise you what to do next.

    Kind regards

  • Swapping screens: Equium A60-181 > Equium A60-199

    Hello

    I'm trying to fix a laptop Equium EA60-199 with a LCD of bust. (Just to save it from the landfill because it works fine also.)
    I found and bought an Equium screen on eBay (the whole "cover", not just the bit in the middle), which apparently came from a model of EA60-181.
    It looked pretty similar to mine and is also 15 "so I thought I'd be a chance and it was worth risking it.

    When I received it today I started taking the lid broke my 199 (off the keyboard and by unscrewing the hinges) - there are two points where the screen connects the main unit: a white rectangular plug caps on a Board and a separate black wire that connects to another point is close (what is Earth?).
    However, the replacement of 181 I've got, is there an extra couple of wires (one black and one white) coming out of the lower part of the screen of the hinge.
    Does anyone know what that here are to - probably they are included in the big white plug on the 199 and 181 screen would not work unless they were connected?

    I'm starting to think that maybe a better option is to take the LCD screen on the cover and exchange the most (using one of the howtos I found on the internet) as I assume the connections to this end are pretty standard. However, I'm not very experienced messing around inside computers for all the tips are welcome!
    Really nothing to lose the computer's been written off by its owner in any case - just thought it would be nice to rehabilitate if possible!

    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Tom

    HM, that only black and white cable sounds like a wireless antenna. To check if this is the case, you should check if on the end of this one thread an orange (or something like) a square is delivered which is then an antenna and should be all over the top of the lcd housing.

    If you're lucky, make a picture about it, place it somewhere on a free imagehoster and post the link here, then maybe I can tell you with certainty what could be exactly the wire.

    See you soon

  • Updating BIOS for Equium A60-181

    Hi, according to the toshiba site there is a new update of the BIOS for my laptop.
    I was wondering is it worth the update, unfortunately, there is no information
    provided regarding the bugfixes or improvements? Also can I use the
    Windows update tool or use the bootable CD, it's just I'm not sure
    flashing Windows XP, except if it is a procedure without normal fault?

    see you soon,

    Richard S.

    Hi Richard

    Richard you have some problems with this device? If everything works properly I don't see a reason any BIOS update.

    If you think that the update of the BIOS is necessary, you can try Windows based Bios update but please check the first Description of the Toshiba BIOS update before you continue.

  • Equium A60-181: how to connect to the router belkin wireless encrypted?

    The title says everything, how can I connect this laptop to my network with 128-bit encrypted signal. The router that I m trying to connect to is a belkin and connected without any problem before encryption. So please help me because I want to use my laptop again with the guarantee of the encrypted signal thank you.

    Hello Dean

    If your laptop can see your WLAN, it must be a problem with the network settings. In my view, you must configure the router to the factory settings and try to establish the connection without any network key.

    If it works well, you can then configure the network to be sure.

  • Equium A60-181 screen is very low after reconnection of cable

    My satellite had been very slow lately and I was advised to remove the base and clean the dust fan (I'm quite a novice).

    When I replaced the screw, the screen would not work, but all the power lights were on. I reopened the base and found that a wire was disconnected and rested there. After that, the screen went very dark.

    Any ideas what it could be?

    Any help appreciated.

    Hello

    Uh, I think that it s is probably not a good idea to screw on your machine without having experience with mobile systems.

    Thus, for your problem, try to reconnect the cable but correctly. In the case of no success, it would be useful to bring your machine to a technician or at least to an authorized service partner to check your machine/connections. Maybe they can find the error.

  • Equium A60-181: how to manage the connection to the TV or monitor

    Hello

    I have an EA60-181

    Basically I'm trying to look at something I have on my laptop on my TV, I have connected to correct blue port on the back on my laptop and plug the other half into the phone from my pc to my TV, the pc cable. Then I turned my tv on pc workstation, you press fn + f5 for lcd/tv and nothing. I just get a no signal going to my tv as it is said that he is looking.

    I don't really know what happens someone please tell me what is happening.

    What is the resolution?

    p.s. When you look at the section displayed on toshiba hwsetup that is set to lcd + analog RGB and on the Advanced tab on the control panel display screens Setup ati watch tv is not connected, even if the cable is connected someone help me?

    Thank you

    Wayne

    Hello Wayne

    Sorry, but I didn t understand how you connected to your laptop to the TV and you hear with good blue port.

    If you want to connect properly and the easiest way, you must use S-Video output port on the back of your laptop and connect it with an S-video cable to your TV (if TV has an S-video port). The S-video port on your TV should be enabled and using FN + F5 key combination that you should be able to get on television.

    If the image is black and white, this means that S-video port on your TV is not properly enabled.

  • Equium A60 - 181: Installation of applications for the Toshiba

    I'm no stranger to Toshiba laptops and the various pilot facilities, but affecting this laptop for a colleague has cost me a significant amount of lost hair.

    I am unable to get some applications Toshiba works on XP SP2 Professional, namely the Toshiba Power Saver (fails with error 0x7E) & utilities Toshiba (refuses to proceed with the installation in the form of common modules not found).

    The failure of these two applications seems to be down to the "common modules" are not responsible. The common modules files are something I know, but there is not available for download from the Toshiba web site for this model.

    After talking to Toshiba Helpline, I was informed that the satellite is very similar to the Satellite and the common modules for satellite A10 files should work.

    Guess what. they do not.

    All the drivers have been installed in the correct order of the Web from Toshiba site.

    Can someone help Please

    Hello

    Everything that you have done is just and it is not easy to say why this happen. Is your version of WXP Pro SP2 integrated or not?

    This unit comes with SP1, and it is possible that you must preinstall the unit completely before installing SP2.
