  Hello

  @dns
  The satellite was delivered with the DVD-CDRW combo drive.

• Re: Equium A60 PSA67E - can't burn new disks

  I'm losing the will to live now. Could someone help me please.
  I have a 2004 Equium A60 PSA67E-00400C8J.
  It reads and writes on DVD RAM RW and DVD ROM and CD RW that have pre files written on them.
  But, I can't get to see a new brand.

  I place several brands in the draw, closed and it works ok until you get auto white screen as you might indicate the contents of the file, but when I try and 'drag and drop' for her, he said: "there is an unknown problem and files of continue to fly in the air for always (10. (, 15, 20 minutes) until I get advice and "Cancel". Nothing is transferred at all. In desperation, I look at 'properties' for the drive and blue on the slice of cake, telling me the disk is full.
  Each new disc! several brands! all the same. I'm close to throwing out the window.

  Please please experts with suggestions would be welcome. I'll try anything.
  I know much too little for this and all officially released I've read seems to be written for a much longer young and sends me off the coast in total confusion. It took me an hour to reach this post on this forum, but I'll try.

  Please take pitty and talk in terms of Janet and John if you offer tests or responses.

  Thank you very much in anticipation

  If I understand your question, your CD/DVD drive cannot burn new disks.
  Is this good?

  What discs can not be burned? Are these discs copy protected?
  Have you tried different burning software?

  I use Nero and I think it s better combustion of the program.
  Recommend to use.

• Equium A60: graphics issues and more

  Ive had so many probs with tis equium a60. It was overheating, stand by was not working and now the graffics were spoil! I rang this place recommended pcworld n they said try to format (large). anyway I restored it to factory settings while he was exactly as it was when I got it. stand is now working properly :) but it still is overheating (I mean really, it becomes it hot) and the graffics are always spoil.
  What happens is the screen freezes for a few seconds, then he goes the worst possible of display settings, so everything is massive and the colors are all wrong. and a pop up in windows as a encountered an error please reboot.
  This happens only at random times, I do not understand why ive formatted. I don't know if the card graffics itself is exhausted. any help or ideas appreciated. see you soon

  Hi Dave,.

  I think he should assume that your problems stem from overheating. It is very common for the dust and debris to form and block the passage of air through the CPU cooler. I suggest trying to remove such an accumulation or blowing into the heatsink (towards the cooling fans), or by sucking debris with a household vacuum. If all else fails, then you can remove the heat sink and the dust before replaceing it. Beware that this may invalidate your warranty.

  Normally a thermal trigger remove power if it detects the CPU heat too, but this does not mean that other problems cannot occur.

  If you still have problems with you appear after you have addressed the issue of overheating then please post again.

• Equium A60 problem overheating and stand-by

  Yes, again, someone else has a problem with overheating Equium. I thought and knew that it was a foul, I checked the CPU and it looked like 2-4% and the fan still worked riot. But recently, I noticed when I press ctrl alt del to remove the Manager tasks, the CPU is more than 50% (73% was highest) and she quickly falls to 2-4%. When he's sitting their without programs or additional processes running. So I aint got a clue whats with her.

  The problem of confirmation suddenly started today. Usually, when I close the lid of my portable computer goes off standby. Today I did it, but after about 5 seconds, to be on stand-by there walk back by himself while the lid was still closed!

  So two problems here... lucky me. If anyones got any help to share its much appreciated, cheers.

  Eddie,

  The microcntroller of power on your responsible MB of the amount of current alternative used to charge your battery, and once the battery is fully charged no extra power is used. The battery must warm up all supported actually, but fully charged when it should then cool even when plugged into AC power.

  The adapter itself will always get warm (if it is not hot) when the notebook is turned on because it provides food for the notebook.

  EMI the single more general cause of overheating is the lack of air through the radiator of CPU, or because the radiator itself is blocked by debris (as described in the previous post excellent) article of air flows blocked by the bad location of the notebook.

  Excessive fan operation is an indicator course of the CPU, not too hot. If the radiator is clear (warm air can be felt through it), then the next most likely culprit would be excessive use of CPU in which case I would check in Task Manager to see exactly which processes were underway and who used the most CPU.

• Equium A60 - 199: ITunes and Mat * a UJ - 830 s (error 4280)

  I can't burn CDs on my laptop. This has never before been a problem, but recently, no matter what type of burning software I use, I can't burn it to a cd. I am currently using ITunes version 6 and after the burning process starts my computer ejects the cd and I get error 4280.

  I read a few different posts on this on other forums that give suggests using different CD to re - install an older version of Itunes (I am currently using v6), but the most interesting seemed to come on the Hewlett-Packard support site. They suggest the cd configuration folder and edit the file gcdrtype.cfg. It was there is place for a certain type of desktop compaq presario pc and turns to advise to change a line in the story, save and reboot and voila. The problem should be solved. Since I own a Toshiba a60-199 finalis I wonder if anyone knows a fix/solution similar to the problem.

  I'm also intrigued by the following message which produces CD Itunes diagnostics when I run:

  IDE\DiskFUJITSU_MHT2040AT___00 22___, Type of ATA Bus, Bus address [0,0]
  IDE\CdRomMAT * A_DVD-RAM_UJ - 830S___1.50___, Type of ATA Bus, Bus address [0,0]
  If you have several drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these discs can interfere with each other.
  Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, visit the support for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

  It is the root of my problem? How can I get this update?

  If anyone can guide me in the right direction to solve my problem and return me to cd burning sky, I would be very grateful.

  Hello

  It is still very problematic if you use some, ion my opinion, the "exotic" software I noticed that most of the users on this forum use applications 'standards' as NERO burning ROM.

  If no one can give you an answer try to contact ITunes support and explain the situation. They have enough experience with own products. Also check if there is any FAQ page. Sorry, but I can't tell you anything that can help.

• Equium A60-155, don't 'sees' new HARD drive

  I have an old Equium A60-155, P5A67E and tried to install a new drive hard - one Samsung 120 GB, 5400 RPM IDE.
  However the BIOS (ver 1.90) is not 'see' and has no auto-detection option I see either - in fact it has very few options for anyone!

  The existing drive (original) is a Fujitsu 40 GB IDE.

  The 120 GB should be not OK, below the barrier of 128 Gb? - but would be using a suitable HARD drive utility (-Samsung offers a version of OnTrack) to make the drive HARD smaller 'look' for the Bios, be any help anyway? Is that the new drive faulty? Any other ideas?

  Any help is appreciated!

  I agree with you and think that 120 GB should be recognized correctly. It is not easy to say what the problem is here. BIOPS value default settings and check again. If the same problem persists, try using a different HDD with 80 or 100 GB to see if any of them will be recognized correctly.

  Problem is that you have limited options with all this and that he cannot do much. Either it is admitted or not.

• Burned DVD - Equium A60 playback

  Hi guys, I was wondering if someone can help me. I have an Equium A60-692 with a Pioneer DVR-K13A CD-ROM drive. The current problem I have is that whenever I insert a DVD that was previously burned, not only by my pc, but others that the CD-ROM drive is unable to read. DVD, that I created in the past that worked very well also stopped play. All I get is the orange led flashing first and then rest it perminently on resulting in a failure in the dvd playback. The player plays original DVD movie very well and plays also any form of cd. Do you think the reader is endangered or is there a setting that has been changed? Any help on this would be greatly apreciated.

  Best regards Richard

  Hello

  It's not easy to say why it of not possible to read the burning DVD.
  You log out of engraving? Sometimes the medium cannot be read because the sessions of burning are not closed. But this is only possible if you burn CD/DVD several times.
  The second possibility could me not supported way. You must use different media.
  However try to remove you drive the Device Manager and reboot the device. The operating system should recognize the drive again. Well maybe this procedure will solve this problem.

• Equium A60 will not burn DVD - Mat * a replacement UJ-820 s?

  Hello

  My toshiba equium a60 will no more DVD burn.
  Can anyone help? Or I need a replacement dvd writer? Cheers ron

  > I need a replacement dvd burner
  It possible s that CD/DVD drive failure and that only the new would be useful.

  But first, you should try some common solution opportunities.

  -Try using different media DVD because not all CD/DVD are compatible!
  -Try to burn the DVD with another burning software (for example Nero Burning ROM)
  -Remove the drive from Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop. After restarting again the OS should install the drive again.
  -Remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  If all of the procedures of this will be not useful so the replacement drive would probably be necessary.

• Equium A60 sees a burner

  Unfortunately, more help is needed with my Equium A60 after earlier missing CD\DVD drive fault. Thanks for the help earlier, I had my return cd drive in 'My computer' and it does not read CD...

  Today, I tried to put some mp3s on a known working CDRW and my DVD burner is not seen. I get an error message saying that you do not have a cd burner... I have the CD Creator 6, which I was using before ok, too much is not a recorder on my laptop.

  I can no longer format a blank CD - r or drag and drop on a CD - RW formatted previously.

  Any ideas anyone. ?? Thanx. !!

• 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: 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

  Good bye
