• Equium A60: After BIOS update device will beep several times and turns off

  Hello

  I downloaded the windows BIOS update for my Equium A60 (dated 11/15/05) and ran the executable by following the instructions, after ensuring that the current AC has been connected, etc.. The update has got a little more to halfway when the computer turns off suddenly.

  Now when I try to turn back on it just a few beeps and turns off again. It seems to me that the BIOS is screwed. Is there anything I can do to get my machine to run?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I m not very good if the update of the BIOS might help you what it s a battery problem
  Have you noticed this problem on the first day of purchase?
  I mean if this issue was not present the same using BIOS in the past, then it wouldn't be a matter of BIOS but material, possibly a battery

  I think that the battery needs to be checked.

  I have this case you should check if the vents are working properly. You can try to clean with vacuum. If this procedure doesn't help you should contact ASP because the device overheating is a serious problem and it cannot be used to service partner.

• Equium A60-173 stops without reason

  My laptop turns off suddenly, it comes to a complete stop, I thought it was the battery had blown or something so I bought a new.

  I put it on and it started working. Everything suddenly after an hour or two use it turns off again. Same thing happens again, just total shutdown, fresh does or anything like that.

  Can someone let me know what is the problem with him?
  See you soon

  In my opinion the laptop automatically stops because it is overheating!
  This is a common behavior if the temperature reaches the critical level.

  The laptop supports protection against overheating and this protection prevents the equipment from damage!

  I recommend that you check the modules of cooling for dust and debris, and if necessary to clean!
  You can do it by using a jet of compressed air!
  Those air sprays you can buy from every laptop or computer!
  Then clean the fans and check if this can help resolve this problem automatically shut downs!

  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.

• 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.

• Equium A60-157, problem after update BIOS 1.90

  Hi all!

  I've had my Toshiba Equium A60-157 for two months. I've updated the my bios twice. First of 1.70 to 1.8 C and from 1.8 to the current 1.90 (common at the time I made this post).

  I noticed that as soon as I used my recovery DVDs to restore the laptop to the default constructor, I had a problem with the main user account that is normally created after the completion of the recovery strategy.

  Whenever Windows would open a session after the recovery account generated, a popup would display a message similar to the following:

  "Windows can not load the profile and connects you with a temporary profile." No changes will be saved. "

  He also said that this problem was maybe due to incorrect permissions, or something like that. The pop-up window also contained a 30-second countdown before opening in windows with the temporary profile. As indicated by the pop-message no changes would be recorded. I could even change my user account image.

  I ran it again the DVD of recovery only to get the same problem. This NEVER happened when I ran on the original bios 1.70, bios recovery DVD AND 1.8 c.

  Anyway I came up with a solution to this problem, which only caused me no problem at the present time.

  I just logged into Windows mode without failure, entered the account administrator, created a new account and deleted the account of departure (created at the end of the recovery program).

  So far, the user account-wise, everything back to normal.

  If the recovery strategy or the bios did not cause this problem, I would be grateful if someone could give me some possibilities of doing just that.

  I don't want to get updates of bios from 5-10 down the road, only to find out that my recovery DVD does not work.

  Fact the DVD should be updated as well as the recovery bios?

  Thanks for your time.

  Hi, Conrad

  Can you please tell me why you do the updates to the BIOS? Have you had any problems? I use my unit for close to two years and I didn t make any BIOS update so far. If everything works well, it is not necessary to do an update with the exception of some Microsoft updates that make the OS more secure. Don t do any update if it is not necessary.

  In any case, I am very confused with your question. Normally, Recovery DVD should not be updated. The BIOS updates are useful if there is a hardware conflict or a problem and not a problem using the operating system or any software.

  It will be interesting to know why you're doing the recovery procedure each time after BIOS update.

• Equium A60-173 - after update BIOS not boot

  Hi, I have a Toshiba Equium A60 - 173 running Windows XP.
