Equium A60 - I'd like to update the RAM

I have an Equium A60 with 256 MB of RAM - I would like to upgrade to as much RAM as possible

Can anyone tell what is the maximum amount of RAM I can crack and what kind of RAM I need?

Thank you...

Hi guys

I checked the manual and it says that you can use the 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB PC2100 or PC2700 RAM memory module can be improved up to 1.5 GB (1 GB + 512 MB) why?
Because it has 512 MB internal memory, which is NOT removable!

A module can be inserted into the slot that is placed at the bottom of the unit
You should see a slot cover in the middle of the Panel which is fixed with a screw.
Remove this screw and you would be abele to remove the cover of the location too.

More details are mentioned in the user manual!

  • Equium A60: Is it possible to update the graphics card?

    Because the graphics card in the A60 Equium is not very good and I was wondering if I could get a different graphics card and plug it into the back and used instead.

    If someone could tell me if I can I would be very grateful

    Hello

    No, it s not possible to update the graphics card to another.
    As you certainly know, the laptop technology is not the same as the desktop PC simply. It s the motherboard technology all just different. You know that heat is a bigger problem for every laptop and generally of designer, developer and manufacturing. In addition, the various interfaces are not equal.

    For example: what do you think, why Intel doesn't produce chips with speeds of 10 GHz, 100GHz, or 1000GHz. Because of the heat.

    I think that the graphics card performance will produce more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.
    The other graphics card needs another module of cooling and the cooling module must be compatible with the motherboard. Everything needs to be changed (the case design, interfaces, etc.) before the upgrade might be possible. In my view it is simply not possible at the moment.

  • Equium A60-173 does not start after the BIOS update

    Hello people,

    I downloaded a BIOS updated toshiba for my Equium A60 - 173 and while it was loading on, restarted my laptop. Now, whenever I turn it on, the power light comes on for a few seconds, there is nothing on the screen and then it turns off again. I'm really worried, I've done some serious damage. I know a bit of the BIOS, but not that much. I need help, this is how I put a BIOS on here if I can't turn it on and the current one is damaged. Is it possible to get the loaded BIOS on without being able to turn it on?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    Concerning
    James

    You could try to remove the battery, wait 2 minutes and then go back, however he only its not very likely that your BIOS update was not successful. If I remember correctly when I flashed my A60-181 this process takes about 10 minutes. If your laptop prematurely reloaded until the program has finished, I'm afraid you have no choice but to send new to Toshiba to be fixed.

  • My Equium A60 not startup after Windows update

    Hello.
    I have an Equium A60 (PSA67E) about 1 years. There has been many problems with this one recently. First, there was the problem of overheating. The machine would heat up and stops by itself without any warning. I tried many options by keeping the cooling ports clear but dint help not at all.

    I've recently updated my bios version 1.90 such suggested by Toshiba. I always see overheating so far after the bios update.

    The most annoying is the display driver which is in this case a lack of mobility radeon ATI 7000. This would cause the display to become oversized and the resolution is very low. It would go without saying when I restart the machine.

    Last month, I reformatted the machine using the Toshiba Recovery CD. Everything went well until I am passed on the automatic update of windows. The first update coming, and I install and reboot the machine to let it function. He's fine. Comes the second update is installed and I have proceed to restart to allow functional upgrades, it does not start. The machine keeps starting over and over again without loading the OS. The screen is the typical Toshiba boot screen with the yellow light (charger) on the screen and after some time a blue screen is delivered for a short time (I am unable to read this error message it is said) and the machine starts start again. What can be the problem?

    I need to install windows XP SP2, and for this I need to go through the Windows Update. What can be the remedy and on the update of the available display driver. I tried, but it makes the situation worse.
    I used the recovery CD at least 20 times that there is no alternative. I tried to start in safe mode but din't work.

    Hi, Germain,.

    According to your description of the problem it doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what you have done so far, but I just want to clarify a few points.

    1. After installing the recovery CD system you install/activate your anti-virus software?

    2. are you using Windows Update in automatic mode or you manually select the update process?

    I recommend you to turn off automatic error (Advanced tab in system properties) reboot so the system will not attempt to restart when you get your blue error screen. This will allow you to see what error.

    Kind regards

  • Equium A60-155: energy saver ends at the beginning upward

    I had a lot of problems with breaking that I did a new install, but when I put all the drivers and stuff on the eve software power puts an end to started and I can not install hotkey-dd-xp-10008sa-en. It says drivers not found.

    Can the poster me an iso of the original installation disk for Equium A60 - 155 that I've not had one, or we shed some light on the problem

    Hello

    I guess you can not install the Toshiba Power Saver because you use an order of bad installation.
    All important information about the installation of the driver s you will find on the page of Toshiba diver.

    In addition, if you have installed the SP2 of Microsoft so you should check fact sheet Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update on the necessary and important Toshiba updates.

  • Equium A60 does not work properly with the Logitech Quickcam Fusion

    If someone managed to use a webcam Logitech Quickcam Fusion with an Equium A60?

    I installed the latest available drivers and software and most of the time it screws right up to the operation of the computer. He ends by crashes so bad that I can't recover even using Manager Windows task! If I leave the USB cable connected to the PC, 9 times out of ten, it won't boot into Windows, until I have remove lead :(

    I installed the same software and drivers on my desktop PC and the device works very well every time and the boots OK with the camera connected to a USB port.

    Two computers use Win XP with SP2 and all updates.

    Hello Bill

    Do you have problems with the USB ports if you are using other devices? I really don? t know what can be the problem. Check the Logitech SUPPORT PAGE

    Maybe you'll find some tips there.

  • Equium A60-692 - no power and removing the HARD drive

    The power has gone on my A60-692, the adapter is ok but there is just no no LED on the laptop. I had to get replaced a few years ago so maybe it is related to that of the power connector.

    I took to a local repair place, he said, it would cost more to fix this, so I should really find it useful laptop only think about recover my data.

    Is it really so hard to fix these things?
    How hard is it to make the hard drive out, & how would then access down my data?

    Thank you
    Dave

    Hello

    > I took to a local repair place, he said, it would cost more to fix this, so I should really find it useful laptop only think about recover my data.
    I agree with the authorized service provider. My personal opinion is that it s a malfunction of the motherboard and it is a very expensive part. Besides, Equium A60 is pretty old model so it would be better buy you a new laptop and recover your data.

    > How difficult is it to make the hard drive out, & how would then access down my data?
    It of not difficult, but I m really wondering why you need access to these data. You don t have a backup? In my opinion the backup is the most important thing you need to do on a computer.
    Anyway, normally on the underside of your laptop there is a HARD drive cover which is guaranteed by one or two screws. You must remove this cover and then you can see the HARD drive and you're able to remove it.
    Also buy an external HARD drive enclosure where you can install the HARD drive. Then you can connect it to another computer to back up your data. ;)

  • Equium A60-157 PSA67E: where to find the Toshiba common module

    Slowly work his problems but can someone tell me what is the "Toshiba common module" as one of the programs will not because he can't find it.

    Also the Intervideo windvd v5.0b11.288 - srs has been modified to Toshiba systems and it's around anywhere?

    Thank you very much David

    Hello

    I checked the Equium A60 driver download area and there is no common module for download.
    In General, the common Module is a tool for Win XP that is required for the execution of other tools of Toshiba correctly.

    I guess that common Modules are not necessary for this model of laptop.

    With regard to the windvd: WinDVD can be downloaded from the Toshiba page, because it is not a tool of Toshiba and this tool has been a part of the recovery disk

  • Equium A60 - DVD player does not read the data disks

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my DVD drive on my laptop Toshiba Equium A60. The DVD drive (Pioneer DVD - RW DVR-K13A) will play store bought movies etc. without problem. He will also read a blank DVD when you put it in the drive, but once the information/data are on the disc, it won t detect the drive.

    I'm not really good with computer so any help would be grateful. The computer used for any play he stopped just do a few months back.

    Many thanks, Phil

    Hello Phil

    It is not easy to find explanations for these issues. What you can try is to create own data CD and check if the drive can read. I recommend buying a blank DVD-R from TDK. Over the past 7 years I never had no problem read/write TDK media.

    Media that cannot be read properly? Is - this DVD-R, DVD - RW, DVD + R or a DVD + RW?
    Please give us more information.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro L300 upgraded to Win8 but I would like to update the drivers

    I have upgraded to Windows 8, but I found the Wifi adapter needs to be reset frequently (it seems to be without a cause) - Troubleshooting Windows 8 solves it by resetting the adapter, but I thought there will be a fix for this?

    When I tried to update the drivers I found that the L300 is not (in the not extensible or expandable lists)-is the L300 compatible in this respect by another model? Or can you suggest how to update all the drivers of Toshiba for this model.

    Thank you

    Your Satellite Pro is the model of laptop old enough and not supported for Win8.
    It is difficult to find drivers for the notebook not supported models and old.

    Problem is that if you make the decision to do so anyway you are on your own and can be all just lucky if everything works properly.
    > is the L300 compatible in this respect by another model?
    It is not easy to give you the right answer. What needs to be done is to compare each hardware component important as chipset, GPU, chip sound, LAN/WLAN with other models and see if some Win8 drivers are available. It is not so easy.

    For example: Toshiba Satellite pro L300 offers 4 different hardware platforms. One you have? What is the model number of your machine?

  • Equium L350D - 11 d - I should update the BIOS?

    A month ago I bought a "reworked factory" L350D - 11 d and I am pleased with it. I couldn't have guessed that it was not new, and it works perfectly, I would say.

    I just got a Toshiba Tempro application to download and install an update of the BIOS - it:
    [THIS HTTP://UK.COMPUTERS.TOSHIBA-EUROPE.COM/INNOVATION/DOWNLOAD_DRIVER_DETAILS.JSP?ID=63134&OSID=-1&OSBUILD=6000&OSBITSIZE=32&DRIVERLANGUAGE=42&SOUR = TEMPRO & LNG = 1]
    but I am concerned about a number of things. I should add that I used laptop computers for years but I am not particularly well informed on the technical level.

    1. the faq on updates BIOS says that the laptop must be in mode 'start-up', not 'repeat mode '. I don't know what are these modes, and a few technically competent guys which I asked don't know either. Can someone enlighten me please?

    2 that the technically competent guy said was update the BIOS was fraught with peril, and I could end up with an unusable machine. Is this really so? If this is the case, then I don't understand why Toshiba blithely ask customers to do. But as the update doesn't seem to be a solution, but simply provides unspecified 'increased functionality', and I've had my laptop a month and it works perfectly, is there any point to take the risk?

    3. the update was published October 9, 2008, and that I only bought my laptop at the end of January is it reasonable to assume that the resumption of the factory included a BIOS loading which included the updated? If there is, then I don't have a dilemma to worry! Is there a way to know this?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello!

    First a question: you have a problem with your laptop?

    If you don t have a problem with your laptop you should not update the BIOS or change anything on the system configuration and software.
    Never touch a running system! ;)

    Do not update BIOS if TEMPRO said. For example I only update my BIOS if I have a problem with it, but normally you should not do this.

  • Equium A60 go in standby mode after the reinstallation of the OS

    Hi all, I just formatted my laptop and reinstalled windows etc... and now my phone will not go into sleep mode, when I go to "start, stop the computer" standby is not selectable and in my properties of power the only option for "when I close the lid on my computer" is to do nothing, I tried the latest toshiba power saver driver, any other ideas?

    Thank you

    HI Matt,

    If you re-installed your system from an installation of Microsoft CD then you will need to download and install the Toshiba power management utility. This should allow you to select the options standby and hibernation correctly.

    If I not mistaken and for what I could see around the internet, I should be able to switch to 4 GB PC2-667 and Dual-Channel should not be necessary. But an expert of confirmation would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
