Equium A60-692: I need to start twice to get the job of the OS

Hello

I have problems to make my A60 began. When I turn it on and it started, if I click on the beginning of the window do not appear until I first pressed the windows button.
I can then go into the programs, BUT the keyboard does not work. If I now click on shut down and restart when it appears in the middle of the screen, it will close and restart, then everything will work as it should. I've had several people look whizz, but we are still scratching our heads.

I'm not very close to any officer of Toshiba and would appreciate comments as long as it could be understood by a retired.
Thanks Andy

Hello

Have you tried to reinstall the OS?

It sounds like a software problem. Maybe some damaged registry entries are responsible for these behaviors strange system.
So check out maybe it's not a serious problem and only the new facility is needed ;)

PS; Don t forget to back up data you ;) installation, will erase the whole HARD drive!

  • Ieee 1394 host controller Texas Equium A60-692 does not start

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Equium A60-692 about 2 years old. On rare occasions the above will install and also the network/ethernet card etc with it when it starts. But 99% of the time it fails to start upward.

    Tech from Toshiba tell me it's the CMOS battery, but time slept OK for the last week so maybe it could be something else. Other strange things are can only recognize the drive HARD to start from what IDE Standard is chosen in the BIOS options (Enhanced IDE option and I think only used normal overall, ups causes boot errors). Also a green screen with weird graphics on occasion. Also the speed of the processor can be reduced, as shown in the properties of my computer.

    Any ideas from anyone as worried of wasting time to unsolder the battery if this isn't the problem. Could this be a fault of the motherboard that is irreparable? I am a relative novice if need help someone here. This made me!

    Hello

    I think you might be right. Eventually he s a small part on the motherboard that could malfunction.
    If I m not mistaken the controller IEEE 1394 Texas Instruments could be the Firewire port and it s part of the mobo

  • Equium A60-692: Texas controller ieee 1394 host controller starts is not getting started

    I had unfortunately no response about the foregoing. I have Equium A60-692 and installed the new copy of XP.

    Before that, I inherited machine with power stuck on the password. Former owner had left standing for several months and said this seems to cause this not tentatives not this setting. I managed to use a rider based on the to remove, but now I think it was a symptom of more serious problems (but maybe I did something BIOS?)

    The controller seems to be when the machine is hot (strange). Fact that average anomaly map mother re ccomponent ventilation cold?

    Any help here, because I have tried everything I can.

    Have you set the BIOS to default settings?

    Hmmm... What about the question of hot/cold? I imagine that certain welded components can lose connectivity when the laptop is cold.
    In my opinion, you should install driver chipset when possible. Subsequently disable device firewire in Device Manager. I mean that this port is probably not so important to you. Isn t it?

  • 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.

  • iPod and Equium A60-692

  • Equium A60-692: sudden failure

    I have an equium A60-692, a little more than 9 months. For the past few weeks the computer just turned off while I'm working, especially watching a dvd. I removed the battery and restarted and worked normally. Is something wrong with the battery or the computer uses not common but the passage to the battery?

    Any help would be appreciated.
    David.

    HI David,

    There are two possible reasons for your problem,

    1: the laptop may be overheating leading to the power off. Normally, it is clearly the fan increased before the laptop closed.

    If this is the case try any dust/debris from your cooling fans with a compensation vacuum hose.

    2: your power system could suffer an intermittent contact of your power connector on your laptop, which causes the phone switch to battery power, even if the power supply is connected. Usually, this will require a power-stop/restart to restore normal operation. If this is the case, you will notice the low battery alarm.

    At 9 months, it is likely that dust/debris is your culprit so I would check that first.

    If you suspect your power connector then you should always be covered by your warranty even if you have to convince your repairman is not due to 'normal' wear

  • Equium A60-692-power - laptop gets no power

    Hey

    My Equium A60 - 692 has ceased all powered by the AC adapter (though I measured it and its give a good 19v). I noticed the end of the adapter (the end that goes into the laptop) is different from the normal ones. Rather than having a hole in the center that integrates a pic on the laptop, it's just got a piece of flat metal. Wondering that was normal and the problem is inside your computer laptop or if the latter has somehow broken and is stuck in the adapter. It looks like its supposed to be that way, but it seems a little weird...

    see you soon

    HELLO Rodders,

    I fear bad news. The flat piece of metal that you describe is the rear part of the central axis that broke inside the power jack on your laptop. It is quite a common phenomenon (check some other posts on these forums).

    Unfortunately, the solution to this problem is for your authorized Service partner nearest replace the motherboard (expensive!) unless you can find someone ready to weld in a new socket.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    Kind regards

  • What are the cards WiFi are Equium A60-692-compatible?

    Hi all
    I have a Toshiba Equium A60-692 (model: PSA67E-001001EN). It has a wifi, lid at the rear for a wifi card, but I can't seem to find a list of anywhere where wifi cards are compatible. Someone would be able to provide me with a list of compatible cards!

    Some people said that the Toshiba Equium A60-692 does not support a Wifi but as there is a sign for one at the back I guess that it is wifi ready! In the connectivity for the Athros Wizard, he says also there a 1394 connection, but it does not have a card.

    I found a few on ebay and I want to know if they will be compatible:

    (1) Toshiba 802. 11a / g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card - Netzwerkkarte, Mini PCI - 802. 11 b, 802. 11A, 802. 11 g, PA3298U-1MPC

    (2) Toshiba WLAN Mini PCI PA3300U-1MPC 54 megabit 802.11 g/b

    (3) TOSHIBA WLAN MINI PCI 54 Mbps 802. 11a / b PA3273U-1MPC

    (4) Toshiba PA3300U-2MPC card WiFi Kit 802.11 g 54 Mbps NEU

    Thank you for your time and I look forward to your responses!

    Hello

    If s said Atheros has a connection 1394 so I guess this means that the firewire.
    The IEEE 1394 mean the firewire connection available on this laptop.

    Anyway, the WiFi network is not available and if you want to use WLan technology on your laptop if you use the WLAN USB key. It is the simplest way to connect to the wireless LAN.

  • Equium A60-692: memory upgrade question

    Hi, I want to improve my memory. I wanted to add a memory of 1 GB on the extra slot but I wanted to be sure that I'm looking for, I don't know much about it and I want to ensure I have buy one that is compatible with everything. If someone knows something about this answer please.
    Thank you

    Hello

    Well, you're first time here in the forum ;) Welcome!

    Now to your question. AFAIK the Equium A60-692 was delivered with an internal memory of 256 MB. This module cannot be deleted.
    Additional memory location is available and you can upgrade the memory for max 1280MB (256 MB + 1024 MB) in this case, you can use a 1 024 MB module.

    You use PC2100 DDR - RAM memory modules.
    Also, I found one that you can use without any problems. The reference is: 1024Mo PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    According to the website Agics, it is associated with Virgin Media. You are able to boot into Windows after the error? That seems to be with the program to backup stuff V. You may need to reinstall the software due to corruption.

    Concerning

    Unfortunately, this model laptop has a Broadcom bluetooth device or a device of Atheros.

    Try to install the Atheros driver first because it is more common.  If it isn't an Atheros card, Setup HP rejects the update indicating no match of material.

    If this isn't Atheros, install the Broadcom bluetooth driver.

  • event twice to get the answer, run

    Hello, newbie here.  I did a little routine to take an identification number entered by the user (usually 4 digits, but not exclusively as such) and structure of the event allows you to add an alpha prefix and this year as a suffix, and then displays the new string.  I'm trying to get a handle on works the structure of the event, as well as text, strings and date functions.  It works as it is, but I have to run the event twice to get the right result.  Any suggestions or explanations are really appreciated.

    PS I also noticed that the string functions and the text don't work in the same way.  The control of the chain added whenever I entered a new identification number and didn't all of its contents to the CONCATENATE node would be out and I couldn't find a way to limit it to the current entry.   The text control gives me what I want, but it appears in my 'Express', not classic or modern menu, which seems to have their own advantages in different situations of the screen formatting, etc.   I guess I could build another function to extract the desired part but that seems like overkill.  Any tips?

    Thanks, Jim

    That does what you want it to do?

    You must have control of the string to be read inside the a case for event.

    When you run your VI he read control of the chain before he expected in the case of the event. So if you do not enter the chain before you click on the arrow to run, you will not get the correct string. Then when you run the 2nd time the chain is already in control of the chain so he can read it.

    That's why you had to run it twice.

  • How can I start Equium A60-692 backpack?

    the model number is A60-692, I want first of all to my computer in the BACK because I have a backup of my HARD drive made by norton ghost. while I am connected and using the operating system, it won't let me change some of the windows folders or files, so if I can start my computer backpack I can then delete the contents of my HARD drive and then restore the backup on the HARD disk.
    I need extract the contents of the backup to a flash drive or cd/dvd to be able to run windows from backup.

    is it possible to copy the backup of the operating system on the original HARD disk.
    concerning

    Hello

    I also use Norton ghost to back up. The Norton application runs on Windows XP Home edition. I always create the backup file on the second partition, and if something goes wrong I can restore OS using Norton and recorded image (file) to the second partition. If I'm not able to start the unit I can install WXP again on the first partition, install Norton and then restore from saved image. I don't have to change all folders or something. Just launch Norton Ghost and navigate to saved the image.

    Now to your problem: you didn t write the exact location of your HARD drive (partition that exist or not). You can use the external floppy drive and start with the startup disk or also create bootable CDs. How to do that you can read on http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/

    Sorry, but your description of all the things you want to do is a little confusing to me.
