Equium A60-199: question on the colors of the button power/powerlight
I was wondering if someone could explain why the power button on my Equium A60-199 changed from its usual blue to a Pink/Purple mix, and also why usually green power light on the front of the laptop has changed to amber.
Thank you.
If the powerbutton is Pink/Purple and your amber powerlight, that means that your machine is in mode. This happens usually when the computer has been configured with a power that leaves your machine goes mode sleep after using only not in a period of time.
Or you have vista and click on the button in the Startmenu which supposedly should stop the machine but rather switch to standby.
That's all.

Equium A60-692: Question on the RAM size
I have an Equium a60-692, which indicates that she has a 256 MB DDR Ram. When I check the system, he says he has 197 MB of Ram. I am told that this is due to the pilot of the screen using the other 60 MB. Which seems big to me or is this normal? I also find that the machine is slow to start and open programs. Is it because of the limited amount of Ram (197 MB)? An increase in Ram would solve my problem?
Hi Ron,
You available RAM is 256 MB, and that the BIOS reserves a small portion for the graphics card. The normal distribution is 64 MB for that you will 192Mo of left RAM for use by the operating system. 64 MB is quite normal for the use of graphics (and is small enough to some modern games). You may be able to reduce the amount (say, at 32 MB) in your BIOS (check allocation UMA).
Slow loading may indicate that your HARD drive is a grooming needs. I recommend running Disk Cleanup on your Start menu, followed by Disk Defragmenter also in the menu START. This will ensure that you schedule the files and folders are properly located and organized for use.
Increasing your RAM probably will not help your slow loading problem, although it will improve the performance of games and utilities of great resources by reducing the use of the swap file.

Equium A60-199 randomly shutting down - could it be overheating issue
Hi, I am writing on behalf of a friend who knows his laptop A60 closing unexpectedlly... (she says that he stopped after a few minutes, or when she tried to open Firefox)
Details of system
Toshiba Equium A60-199 Model No.: PSA67E-00J00C8J
18 GB free & 19 GB used
512 MB OF RAM
CPU Celeron 2.93GHRunning Windows XP Home
NIS 2006I took a look at distance and was about 30 minutes without any problem using FF logmeinitreach... There was nothing showing in the event log manager, for the time of day, that it would close down all before... so I was wondering if it is a faulty power supply?
Everythng is going on well just clicked on the analysis of complete system of Norton Internet security which has not been run in a long time and the PC, stop NOW, it will not restart everything. ??
Apparently she can hear some buzzing but nothing happens... (which I think might well be the blow fan)
Advised her to let a little and about 2 hours later, she was able to turn it back on... I wonder if it could be overheating. ??
Apparently he is 3/4 months than what was going on then ceased to happen and started again...
Please can you give me some advice on how to clean it - other than to take it to a hardware shop
I downloaded the A60 user manual and have themselves asked to confirm what show the lights - in an attempt to check overheating
is the question...I've also read online "you can spray compressed air into the gills of admission but not airflow vents to help get rid of the dust and debris." I have looked at the manual and can see 2 lots of mouths... It is on the side and the other on the bottom, is e eintake the one on the side? I literally direct the air on side air intakes and the spray?
When you ask him if she knows that when the fan is always, sometimes on, never an etc. she was thinking ot is ALWAYS on... who'd show up again overheating...
Please notify
tamba1Hello Cathy
I also believe that the sudden stops are the result of overheating. If the dust is blocking cooling air flow grill is blocked and material can reach the critical temperature of material very fast. Sometimes you can start any application pre-installed, the CPU usage goes to the next level and laptop will suddenly stop.
The laptop should be cleaned as soon as possible. If you have no experience with the disassembly procedure I recommend you contact the closest service and the laptop must be cleaned on professional way. It costs a little bit, but you can be sure that you use Notepad for a longer period of time.
If you need the addresses and phone numbers to contact the ASP (authorized service provider) please visit http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.
Bye and good luck!

Equium A60: How to remove the CD/DVD drive
I own an Equium A60 PSA67E and need to know how to remove the CD/DVD drive. A few days ago I tried to completely remove the underside of my laptop by removing all the screws. After doing this I found that most of the underside was loose, but the CD/DVD drive was always held in place, which means that I couldn't
Hello
I m not 100% sure, but I think there is a screw under the keyboard that attach the drive. You must remove the keyboard and check if there are screws that fix the drive.

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.

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.
TomHM, 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

Equium A60-157: Question about maximum size of HARD drive
Hello
Looking to upgrade my Pentium 4 3.06GHz Equium A60-157 a bit then got a new module of 1024 MB of RAM, but now really to upgrade my 40 gb HDD to go with. I found all the specifications of the type of HARD drive, I need, but may not know what the maximum size of the disk, it is that the BIOS will recognize. I don't think that I've never updated by the BIOS and I'm looking to get a 120 GB drive. Any ideas please?
Thanks for your help!
Hi Alex,
Most portable smanufactured in the last 5 years or so are able to accept larger hard drive capacity without problem. I am currently using a 80 GB drive in an old SA30 of three years. I can't guarantee a 120 GB drive will work, but I see no reason why it wouldn't.
Kind regards

Equium A60-199 is not play or recognize any type of cd or dvd
Hi all
It's the first time I was in the unfortunate duty position post one problem-normally I can find a solution here and just fix it myself!
I have an a60-199 on windows XP Home Edition. It is about 18 months and unfortunately out of warranty. The issue I'm having is that the cd rom drive (a carpet * s uj-830) is not play or recognize any type of cd or dvd. Finally, I used about a week ago and have tried resetting the system to forward, then nothing works.I also tried the suggestion of microsoft to change IDE transfer parameters, and that no longer works. When I put a disk in it turns three times and the light on the cd drive flashes, but he can't find anything, and I get the message ' d: / is not accessible. the request could not be performed because of an i/o error "I also websearched that but found nothing else than the suggestions above that has not worked."
Is it possible that the link between the motherboard and cd rom to be broken yet light and spinning cd happen? I am completely confused and would like to have suggestions from anyone!
Thanks in advance,
Fyldelass.Hello
Don't reset the system how you used recovery media to set to factory settings? If so, I think that there must be a hardware malfunction. The drive has power and I think that the problem is not connection but damaged drive.
The drive is original and also compatible with this unit. The assignment of pins is just. Before trying anything, you can try to remove the disc and check the contacts. Maybe they should be cleaned. If nothing helps, I presume that the replacement should be performed.

Of crashes/blue Equium A60 laptop screen when the LAN cable is in?
Hi all
I have a laptop Toshiba Equium A60 which now extends for less than a year.
I am running WinXp Sp2Yesterday, my laptop started to plant flashing a blue screen (not the time to see what he says that the computer reboots too quickly).
I found that only apparently failed when the network cable is connected for example if I start the laptop, it will be put in service as usual, but when it starts to communicate with the network/router (I see glancing at blue screens in the lower Task Bar to the right), it crashes. I tried another port on the router but no luck.
Is my network card: Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
It works well in Safe mode and doesn't crash.
I updated the driver but and it's always the same.
I then decided to restore my laptop to factory/day via the Toshiba Recovery DVD.
When it worked fine all day restored (had internet access via the network) until I clicked on: set up a home network or small business in the control panel. He crashed again in the same way. Now it will crash repeatedly like above.
This could be a problem with my cable?
Help, please... Any ideas?Thank you for the charges,
ShayHello
If the network connection works fine, it is not necessary to set it up again. I guess there are conflicts and the unit freezes. In my opinion there is no problem with the hardware or with your cable with the network settings.
