Equium A60 starts on battery

Hi people I need help if you can help.

I have an Equium A60 laptop and when I press the button when the laptop is running out of its battery, it does not start, but when I plug in the charger and press it starts very well.
Thought the battery was dead, but when he starts it says the battery is fully charged and it works fine without the charger plugged in for the duration, what it says on the battery monitoring software.
basically the on off button works fine when the charger is plugged in but has no effect when running off the battery voltage.

Would really appreciate some help on this one, if you can imagine all the solutions

Thank you

Hello

In my opinion there is no one-size-fits-all solution for such problems. You can try to remove the battery to put a little time inside and test again.

  • Equium A60 starts any upward

    My laptop Equium A60 asked me to uninstall Norton Antivirus because of problem with it. Upon restart, the computer would not boot at all. I use Windows XP and no BIOS is available when I turn on the computer and the computer was just a white screen. Unable to get into safe mode at all. Can someone help or give advice?

    Hello

    That doesn't sound good.
    Have you tried to boot from the recovery CD?
    Check it out.
    But if you can't get into the BIOS or see nothing on the screen so I guess it could be a hardware failure.
    In this case I don't think you can solve this problem without any help.
    Please ask the Toshiba service partner in your country for advice.

  • Equium A60-173 PSA67E does not start

    I don't have a model Equium: Equium A60-173 (PSA67E-00700C8J) that will not start.

    It tries to start hard drive turns, the fan starts, the dvd drive light flashes, the hard disk light flashes and then he died.

    Battery life is very good, charger/power supply is fine.
    Lights on the front shows the unit is on and the battery is being charged, they all light green.

    I removed everything, left power and removed the battery for an hour, but it still will power not on.

    Any ideas?

    It looks like a faulty motherboard, but it is not easy to say.

    You have already removed the battery and the AC adapter and waited upward at the time, so you have to go to an ASP and ask a technician for help. They can check your laptop and exchanging parts.

    On the Toshiba site, you can search an ASP:

  • Equium A60-155 will not start

    Hello

    I have an Equium a60-155, that I knew that she works for a while, but recently I came with a new poroblem... my laptop guard turn off without notice and loses all power.

    The battery has been dead for some time and lasts about 5 seconds, but I've been using the AC adapter.

    Recently, she stops and even the LED lights for the power/battery adapter / is not on.

    At first I thought it was the fuse in the adapter which could have been blown so I replaced it, and it started to work again, but then after a few minutes, it stops and lost all power.

    I had this during the last days and I noticed that it regains power when I unplug the power adapter from the mains supply and remove the fuse and put it back in but his lasts only for a few minutes.

    I don't know if it is a hardware problem or I just need a new adapter. Someone at - it similar problems and can offer any adivce?

    Hello!

    What do you think that the laptop is overheating? I don't know, but if so the laptop would also immediately turn off m.
    So, try to clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. So you don't have to disassemble the laptop.

    If it doesn't help it's really hard to say what the reason is for this maybe you should bring the laptop to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the laptop.

  • Equium A60 - beeps at start

    When under tension over an Equium A60, I get a long beep (3-4 seconds) and he then turns off; no error on the screen and no sign of activity.
    I'm assuming that there is a message error and probably serious enough, but no idea what it means.

    What does a single long beep mean?
    Be it on the mains or battery power, or with memory removed makes no difference.

    Thank you

    I guess that there is a hardware problem on your motherboard.
    A long beep is displayed because the laptop can not pass the POST (power on self-test) and, therefore, the machine doesn't start.

    Unfortunately, it's not easy to say what could be wrong with your laptop
    In your case, each unique material part should be checked; RAM, CPU, motherboard, etc.
    But I don't think that you have all the material resources useful and enough technical experience in this regard.

    In my opinion you have only one option, and it is ASP.
    The authorized service provider may check the laptop and can run diagnostics tests

    I wish you good luck

  • Can not start my new Equium A60

    Hello

    I really the don t understand why you do BIOS update with the new unit. This path is not easy to say how the problem can be, but if you turned off the camera, while the BIOS update it can be this motherboard is faulty now.

    Please, remove the battery and connect the unit to the power running. If all goes well is the LED for power there. Try to start the device. If there is no reaction you must take it to the service partner.

  • 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

  • How to start the recovery on Equium A60?

    Hi, I have to do a factory reset on my Equium A60, I put the cd in but cannot get it started the recovery, some can help me please? Thanks in advance

    Hi EPAs

    Turn recovery media in the CD/DVD drive and disappears. Press the power button and hold the C button. This means the unit choose CD/DVD drive as the first boot device.

    Otherwise, you can change the boot priority in the BIOS settings and set the CD/DVD device as the first.

    Try to get the CD of Microsoft facilities. Talk with your friends. I'm sure that someone has this facilities of Windows XP Home edition CD. Check if you can do something by using the R option.

  • Poor start speed on Equium A60

    Equium A60 family is incredibly slow to start five family in each user profile. 17 minutes to go to the page "desktop." The laptop was defrag'ed, disk cleaning, etc, etc. All photos taken off the hard drive - it is full of 25% and was never higher than 30% full.

    Can't find any help on troubleshooting site. Can you provide any help to reduce the length of time to access the Office page? We all lose the will to live and the Toshiba could soon in the tray. It is only a couple of years.

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Ciaran

    Unless you don't already executed him chkdsk.exe /f parameter (you need to run a cmd shell) this will force windows to analyze the structure of files on the disc hard when you restart the system. A scan of malware would also be a good idea, too much loading into memory could really slow down a laptop to do this I would recommend two programs (both free) AVG Free Edition and Spybot S & D. If this did not resolve your problem, the only other thing I could suggest is to use the right product recovery DVDs slow down be sure to backup all your personal files before they are destroyed.

  • 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.
