• How to check the version of the BIOS is not damaged on Equium A60

  I have another thread in regards to IEEE 1394 host controller usually start and other strange questions for Equium A60.

  Regarding above, I feel THAT BIOS can be altered that I cut two pins to get rid of power according to the tried and tested instruction on another site, the BIOS password. Properly deleted BIOS password! Password requirement has occurred after that the computer is not used for a long time. Maybe the short circuit with a paperclip to cause corruption of the BIOS? Computer note seems to maintain time and date so battery CMOS OK?

  Can I reflash the BIOS or require special equipment? Any help appreciated more

  Hello!

  Why would you say that the BIOS is intact?

  If you have downloaded the BIOS Toshiba it s not intact. Toshiba doesn't offer these BIOS versions, they would be tested before.

  The BIOS (for example with an older version), you can reflash t. This can make an ASP (authorized service provider). If you wish, contact your local ASP. Only, they know to do this and will not get such textbook because it s a user to user forum.

• Equium A60 - 157 HELP Card/PCMCIA wireless network!

  Hi all!

  This problem has been frustrating me for at least 2 months.

  OK, I recently bought a Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card (wifi card).
  The first time I installed the wifi card it worked perfectly. I powered
  extinguish your laptop (after I had finished working on it). The next day
  When I turned the laptop on, you guessed it, the wifi card was not
  work. I did not remove the wifi card for the power off/power on stage.

  When I went into Device Manager, a yellow exclamation point was
  above the wifi card. When I looked at the properties of wifi cards, I found the
  following message appears:

  This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
  If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
  Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

  I tried unistalling and reinstalling the wifi card. I tried to use the latest Belkin drivers for the wifi card. Sometimes it works, but when I have the power turned off/turned on the laptop it s not go.

  One of the ways I got the card to operate was removing and inserting the card several times
  until he finds resources and finally worked. I put t use this method as, obviously, I might damage the cardbus slot and the card. In the meantime I ve been using a Belkin Wireless G USB network adapter. I had no problems with the USB adapter, but I prefer to use the wifi card. This is because the majority of the wifi card is housed inside the laptop, so it s not easily evicted. The USB adapter is great for wireless networks inside, but too risky for roaming outside.

  I had this problem of 1.70 at 1.8 ° C bios version, and I still have it with revision 1.90. I intend to return m wifi card in the store for an Exchange, but I have a really bad feeling that the same thing will happen with the replacement of the card. I m not convinced that the current wifi card is defective, because it works perfectly when he gets the resources.

  I tried to manually configure resources on the devices, but I have a major problem. Windows seems to be LOCKED in the automatic settings. The automatic settings check box is grayed out completely, it is impossible for me clear the checkbox. I did not take anything in the bios that can help me solve this problem.

  I noticed that there are many devices running off IRQ (interrupt requests) 19, when you view resources by type in Device Manager. These devices are:

  Standard enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
  USB host controller standard OpenHCD x 2 (two entries)
  Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
  Controller CardBus Texas Instrumetns PCI-1410

  When the wireless card works she also runs IRQ 19, but as I said before Windows is locked in the automatic settings and do not manually configure the hardware resources.

  Equium A60-157 is not provided on board, but it has the potential for. WiFi L.e.d. on the front panel, physical location for wifi turn on side panel wireless icon and F8. Someone know if Toshiba offer an upgrade service, or can I install wifi on board myself?

  ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE QUESTIONS!
  Thanks for your time!

  Hello

  I found this for you:

  Both devices have received a same ports of entry/exit (e/s), the same interrupt, or the same Direct memory access channel (whether through BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of both). This error message may also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device (for example, if a (USB) universal serial bus controller does not get a break in the BIOS because of a damaged MPS (Multiprocessor) system table).
  You can use Device Manager to determine where the conflict is and turn off the device in conflict. On the tab General properties of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard.
  Try disabling the features of conflict. It will be interesting to know if the problem will occur again.

  In my opinion, you should contact the Service partner and ask them if the unit is ready for the Wi - Fi module. Sorry, but I'm not sure about that and I don't want to give you a bad information about it.

• System failure-Equium A60 won't boot to the top

  Hey guys & gals
  for the first time using this site and need some advice!

  I have a toshiba laptop
  "equium a60 model PSA67E-No.-00200D8J.

  Ive had problems with my start up! I get an error message saying: I have a missing driver!

  read the MSG error-"system32\drivers\ntfs.sys".

  Also get message...

  "windows was not start because the following file is missing or damaged:
  system32\DRIVERS\isapnp.sys ".

  Unfortunately I can't find my original CD boot disk & I don't want to lose the files saved... not too good sense when it comes to problems with this...

  If anyone can give some advice please, it drives me crazy! Laughing out loud

  Alan.

  Heyho,

  looks like you're in big trouble. I think the only chance to backup your files is to get some linux live CD (knoppix, ubuntu and mandrake) and an external hard drive to copy the files to your hard drive internal to external hard drive attached.

  The best way would be to ask a technician or a guy who is VERY familiar with computers to backup your data.

  After that you need to reinstall your operating system but without the recovery CD, you are out of luck. Then you don't have a lot of options.
  One of these options is to look for startup disk or how to call it: "restore CD". If it is not available you should contact an authorized local dealer servicepartner toshiba and get a new recovery disk. The last option is to buy a Windows XP or to ask someone (family, friends, the one who) for a Windows XP to install.

  Greetings

• 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. ;)

• Using the mic in as an Audio on the P4 Equium A60 - 156 532 line

  Hello

  I was wondering if I can change the microphone on my Equium A60-156 P4 532 port to operate like an Audio Line In , as I want to use Avermedia AVerTV-U2 USB2 to convert my video tapes on DVD. However the Avermedia AVerTV - U2 USB2 requires an Audio Line In on the sound card. The suppliers of the Avermedia AVerTV - U2 USB2 recommended a reg file.

  Anyone know if it will work or have alternative ideas on how I can convert my video tapes on DVD?

  Hello
  The point is that the Microphone in your laptop sector works with a preamplifier.
  He could only kill you this Port, if the input signal is powerful.
  Be careful!

• Equium A60: PC2700 and PC2100 compatibility

  Hello again...

  Based on the MANUAL of USE Equium A60 I incorrectly ordered a SO-DIMM PC2100 200 PIN, I understand turns to the DDR266.
  Based on your good advice, I realize, I should have ordered DDR333 PC2700-SO-DIMM 200 PIN.
  In the store where the ram was purchased they said I could always install the ram but it works at the slowest speed of modules 2 memory.
  The questions are:

  Is this true? can I have on my laptop a PC2700 256ram (factory installed) and a race of PC2100 (purchased separately) 512ram together with no ill effects or damage to the machine?

  and also

  If it is true and a PC2700 and PC2100 modules can be on the same machine, will there be a significant decrease in performance?

  Thanks for your help and a very big thank you for the kind responses to my other questions :)

  Kind regards

  Confused newbie

  Hello
  Normally, you can run Ram PC2700 in collaboration with am Ram PC2100.

  Faster memory will adapt its speed to the slower.

  The PC2700 is downwards compatible way.

  So, in this case, you can buy this memory without problem

• 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 does not recognize the DVD ROM

  I am trying to use the product recovery dvd - rom on my Equium A60 and found that the reader not recoginse not the disc. I tried DVD movies, audio CD and other disks installion and all work well and the recovery disc is recognized on the other 2 computers I tried it on if the drive is not damaged.

  I've also tried uninstalled the driver and restart the computer, so the driver reinstalled, this allowed the disk to read once, but when I rebooted the computer run really drive it is came with the same messages "not found no bootable disk" he was not able to read again since.

  Can anyone help?

  Hold on! Have you tried to boot from the recovery DVD or have you tried to boot under Windows OS?

  I put t know exactly what could be wrong but sometimes a lens player could malfunction and could not calibrate correctly. In this case some mediums are not readable.

• No hard drive on Equium A60-155

  Hello

  I inherited the estate of a parent a Toshiba Equium A60-155 (model without PSA67E-00300C8J)
  It came without any hard drive - the coverage is in the original box from Toshiba, but that's all.

  As it was a gift, I don't mind buying a new HARD drive
  But, can someone tell me the technique so I buy the right one please?

  Thank you
  Tyn

  Post edited by: tynyffridd - topic (oops)

  I found the info that this laptop comes with several different hard drive capacities between 40 and 60 GB.
  So, theoretically, you can use any 2.5 with IDE connector up to 80 or even 120 GB.

• Cannot install XP OS on my Equium A60-155

  Hello guys,.

  I had a laptop series Equium A60-155 about 3 years old worked when I used last and it was about 2-3 months ago. I turn on the laptop yesterday into the to use and she charged up to the logo then no activity on the display showed after that.

  I formatted the laptop with Windows XP Home edition disc and then tried to install Windows XP Home edition, but it keeps stopping at 53% in the installation process.

  I went to a technician, and his suggestions were:
  -Possible overheating,
  -Damaged, hard drive
  -Configuration of the bios,
  -Damaged the motherboard or,
  -damaged band memory.

  I tried again this morning, but even once, he stopped at the same percentage as yesterday 53%. If you have any suggestions that require the problem please post your here on this post.

  Thanks to those who responded.

  Hello

  I also suspect that the HARD drive is faulty. If possible, try to get the second HARD drive for testing. It doesn't have to be a new brand. Test it and post the results.

  We can just speculate on possible problem, but I agree with technician. Take the first step and test the HARD drive.

  O Yes, you can also clean the laptop before starting the procedure of facilities. After only that the laptop will be cooled much better.

• Equium A60 - Generic not recognized USB Hub

  Equium A60, XP Home Edition SP3.

  My Tevion USB 2.0 combo card reader is reported as being a USB device fails, is not recognized and implemented in the device as an unknown device manager.

  Here's the riddle:
  When I plug it into the same old PC under XP Pro SP3, it is recognized and works.
  When I plug it into a new PC running Vista Home Premium, it is recognized and works

  And finally, and especially:
  When I plug a USB 1 Hub 4 ports on the A60 Equium and then plug the Tevion USB2.0 card reader this Tevion card is recognized and works. There are a lot of bleating like a lost sheep on the run faster if connected to a USB 2 port, but if I plug it directly into the port from Toshiba it does not at all.

  Any ideas to solve this problem or similar experiences?

  Wizzer

  Is the gap of 4-port hub powered by the USB port of your satellite or is it a KVM?

  If self-powered it s then it s obviously needs a lot of power combo card reader which can be provided by all of your computers, but not the satellite.

  It is a theory that might make sense... :)

  Hello
  I have an Equium A60 which is coming up with 'failed to resume and Press any key to continue' when I turn it on. This FAILED after the battery is and it stop. By pressing a button any does nothing.

  I can't enter the BIOS if I'm fast until the message arrives, and it is set to the Startup Mode, will not resume. I tried to reset the default settings, removal of hard drives and boot from other devices, but it does not seem to happen, so I canoe perform a BIOS update either.
  Ive had the machine goes in search of a battery that I can remove or I can press a reset button, but I couldn't find anything.

  I can do, or is it totally dead for good?

  Please help me! Its a laptop second hand, but I have had it a week! ;)

  Simon

  Hello

  Could you please check if the HARD drive has been recognized in the BIOS!
  If she recognized the war you should try to install a new OS.
  Boot from the CD by pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop.

  You can also try this:
  Simply remove the cache connector unplugged the HARD drive HARD drive and plug it in again, turn on the laptop.
  If the same message appears, simply press the SPACEBAR and check if the operating system boots from the HARD drive.
