  If you want to add the input language, Portuguese (Brazil), you can choose between Brazilian ABNT and Brazilians ABTN 2. Have you tested the two solutions?

• Question about cleaning the keyboard of an Equium A60

  Hello

  I recently managed to outflank cola on the keyboard of an Equium A60 and the keys are sticking rather annoying. Nothing else has been affected by the oil spill. Is there a way to clean the keys on these machines, such as by popping the key cover off? I am unwilling to put too much force to see if this method will not work because they don't seem like the type who's going to jump off and I don't want to cause any real damage (or rather, not more damage). As far as I remember, the period of guarantee in addition to the machine, so I prefer to take a solution that I can do myself rather than send in a (probably) expensive 'official' job. Any advice is welcome.

  Thank you

  Hello

  sounds very good. How do you know that only the keyboard has been affected? Do you have some view of x rays? :)

  I suggest you to bring the product to a technician because if once some fluid more so deeply touched a laptop, then you have a big problem.
  I can't give you a few tips to clean your keyboard because it s not only of clothes that can be lifted in a tube with some oxy-clean.

  I really suggest you to connect with someone who is familiar with this kind of computer system.

• Equium A60-191: number of Modem - only an analog phone lines are supported

  My Equium A60 has been turned on when lightning struck nearby and caused the power supply turn off and turn back on.

  The OS is XP Home and my ISP is AOL. When I try to access the Net with DUN, I get the repeated error message:

  "Connected phone line is not compatible with this modem. Only analog phone lines are supported. »

  My desktop computer, which also uses AOL, always connects to the same phone line with no problems.

  I restarted the A60 several times; changed and I tried the 2 phone connection cables - both work; the phone line works very well; I reinstalled the driver provided on this site; removed the tick from the box that says to wait for the telephone line; verified that the modem is working and on the Device Manager list. All this is in vain.

  Convenience store suggests that COM 3 is not enabled. I don't see that com 3 listed in the device under Ports Manager.

  I tried Google and ASK with the error message. There is not a lot of posts, and it seems that the Toshiba modem is actually an Agere. This fact seems to be the object of some of the complaints.

  Finally, I uninstalled the driver/modem, AOL and another DUN connection. I restarted and went through the process of installing AOL and "new hardware". While the modem is on and allegedly working... I am still unable to connect to the Net. I reinstalled an additional 'pay as you go' ISP. When I try to dial a number on which it generates error 680. It does this even when the box is unchecked, to wait for a dial tone.

  I would be very grateful if someone could help it. I'm out of ideas.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  You are right, the modem supports the Modem Agere chip.
  You won't find the COM3 in the Device Manager for the modem uses a non-real com port. It s virtual com port.

  I think you should start the diagnostic tool test and check if the Modem has no malfunction.
  Additional you must remove the connection in the region Select utility and after restarting again create a new.

  I also found useful Microsoft article on troubleshooting network and dial-up connections.

  and you'll find info on the error of DUNS 680:

• 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

  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. ;)

  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.

• Internet connection and Equium A60

  Hello!
  A few months ago, I bought a Toshiba Equium A60. I could never use the modem to connect to the internet via my BT phone line, but the jacket LAN worked well and I plugged my laptop on the net in my workplace. Sudenly it has stopped working, and after the computer went twice to a Toshiba repair center and after reinstalled the system twice and after doing everything that has been said to do to the Toshiba help line, nor the modem or LAN jacket works.

  For the modem, troubleshooting says that maybe there is a problem in COM1 and that I should reinstall the system (what I did) and for the local network, it always says that there is no cable connected (I tried 2 different cables and 2 Sockets for connecting different!).

  I also tried a USB modem and it does not work! Can someone help me? Or my laptop always uses smoke signals to communicate to the world?

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should try to remove the two components of the Device Manager, and then restart the device. The new hardware components should be detected and installed correctly. If there is no success, this is obviously some malfunction of the equipment.

  If you connect the LAN cable to your laptop, it must there have enabled the small green light contact and if there is a transfer of data that the orange indicator light should also be activated and flashing. If you connect the LAN cable is it green light turned on? If this isn't the case, you should speak also to the network administrator to check if the socket you are using is properly enabled.

• Faulty memory to Equium A60

  Hi all

  Has just been given a notebook Equium A60 to look at, basically when I try recovery DVD, all is well until the phone restarts, errors occur with files system etc, blue screen of death, I tried MEMTEST86 memory and he finished only 12% before it failed with errors.

  I think that memory is faulty & is giving me these errors, I removed the cover at the back of the laptop & was surprised to see that the only slot was empty?

  Where is the memory of the system on these laptops? Windows XP says 192Mo, so I assume that 256 MB with 64 MB taken by graphic design...

  I have to 'strip' of the laptop to be able to get to the memory & if so is this a replaceable part?

  Any info or help would be greatly appreciated
  Concerning

  > Does that mean that the "base memory" is an integral part of the system board, so if it is faulty, then a new card system is required?
  I m afraid, Yes.
  The A60 takes support only one expandable memory slot!

  > Is there a way to "turn off" this memory installation & some external memory instead?
  The 256 MB internal memory is integrated on the motherboard and cannot be eliminated as the common memory modules.

  It really looks like a malfunction MB:(et le MB entier doit être remplacé.)
  But this is only my personal opinion and to be 100% sure that the verification of the laptop is necessary.

• Equium A60 - 155 clicks when I try to turn it on

  Hey

  I was wondering if any1 could help me. I recently put a toshiba equium a60-155 without a power adapter, also without battery but the store are previding by toshiba as soon as possible. so I put a power adapter and plugged - DC IN light turns green so everything seems good but then when I try to turn it on just click and the keyboard lights flash, then nothing happens - if I hold down the power button everything that just clicks and flashes. is it because I dnt for a battery? -I don't think dnt. any other ideas?

  see you soon

  Josh

  Hi Josh,.

  Your A60 equipped with a pre-installed system or you have set up your system CD provided?

  Your laptop must turn on without the battery, so it is possible that there is no operating system installed for the time being installed.

  Have you had the correct PSU for your A60? Your card must be able to supply sufficient power for the laptop or that it does not start.

• Question of Eve Equium A60-155

  Hi all

  I an Equium A60-155, which was set up a few times (some with DVD original recovery and a few with the Windows XP Pro CD standard), but has still a problem persistent... whenever the unit to standby and then brought out of standby, it fires upward, but with a black screen and no response from the keyboard. The only way to get into Windows is turned off manually and restart normally.

  Someone else had this problem or a solution? I think it might actually be the hardware at fault because he had so many different re - installed.

  Hello

  I read that the graphics driver and BIOS upgrade might be very useful in such cases.
  You should compare the pre-installed driver and BIOS versions with the versions on the Toshiba page. If there is a newer version, then I recommend to update these applications.

  Your comments would be very appreciated.

• Equium A60-155: can't access CD/DVD drive

  I own an Equium A60-155 with an extra 512MB memory installed. My problem is with the carpet * a DVD Super - multi Drive.

  When I insert a disc the busy light flashes for about 5 seconds, I hear a small amount of activity, but then it just stops and it stays on permanently. If I try to access the drive through windows, it seems to be empty!

  I had this problem before and it sets just once! I don't think that it is windows such that the drive has the same way (busy light always on, if the disc is in the drive) before even windows has started. My warranty ran out earlier so he sent set is not an option?

  Does anyone have any ideas, what is the problem?

  Hi Joe

  I put really know what can help, but you can try to remove the drive from the Device Manager list. Restart the device and check the functionality again. After you restart the new hardware (CD/DVD-ROM) unit will be recognized and installed correctly.

  If the problem persists with any type of media (original music CD and DVD) it can really be some malfunction of the equipment.

  I've found this workaround short:

  1. start the registry (type regedit in RUN)
  2 open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder
  3. open the CLSID folder
  4 open the {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} folder
  5 open the ShellFolder folder
  6. change the data value of 'Attributes' of the ' 40 01 00 20 "to"50 01 00 20".". "
  7. change the DWORD "CallForAttributes" at "0x00000000" (double click and change value data to 0).
  After this procedure, the option rename must appear in the drop-down menu when you right click on the Recycle Bin icon.
