Equium A60 will not start

Hi, I am despartely needing help with my A60 equium that won't start. When you turn the button lights up, fan and starting, but then in a few seconds the cutting power. I tried different sources of energy, also just by using ac power and battery just all produce the same results. I had installed a memory chip a few months back and thought it might be that, but when I took it off the laptop has always been the problem.

Is there that anyone may be able to help me with this problem? Thank you

Hi Michael,

The first thing that happens when your, press on the power button on your laptop, it's that the CMOS chip (which contains your BIOS) through a pre-deignated POST (Power On Self Test) process that verifies the functions of the material of base components after what the BIOS will be charged which will lead in turn to the operating system itself being started.

If a failure or a problem occurs during POST and then power on the sequence stops (usually after a series of beeps are emitted that are coded to help the diagnostic process. The actual beep codes are specific to the manufacturer of the CMOS/BIOS chip.

If you receive no all audible sounds, then it is likely that the problem is very early in the POST process and may indicate a problem with your main card or your electronic internal.

You can try to remove and and reinstall devices such as RAM memory modules, hard drive, optical drive, etc to see if this corrects the situation, but if not then you will need to take the device to authorized, Service partner who has the diagnostic equipment needed to perform accurate control.

Kind regards

    Hello

    This laptop has problems with ATI (even those included on the recovery disk) display drivers. He created a blue screen on a dll file.

    After reading around, I found that it was recommended to upgrade the bios, after going to the appropriate section of the Web site, I downloaded the flash tool from windows for the laptop bios.

    I ran and it opened, returned to the laptop and the screen is blank, a blue ring around the power button is on, but no display.

    I left it for a period of time see if it would to restart or something, but nothing has happened, it would not be the button turn off so I unplugged the power and removed the battery.

    To again turn on the laptop, it only stays on for about 3 seconds then turns off again.
    I get the beep code: short break, Long, short break, beep, beep beep, then it turns off.
    The caps lock and numlock keys are turned on.
    The DVD drive light blinks.

    But other than that, no display etc.
    Ive tried the battery leaving aside for awhile.

    Anyone have any ideas why flash bios toshiba own this would cause? Also what can I do about it? in any case to recover the bios etc via a recovery mode?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Well, unfortunately for me it looks like a hardware failure.
    Maybe the motherboard is broken.
    These problems may occur if you use a bad BIOS or the incorrect BIOS update procedure.

    Please check this document FAQ How to upgrade the BIOS:
    IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07

    Unfortunately if there is something wrong with the hardware you should ask Toshiba service for assistance.

  • Equium L10 will not start

    Please help - my Equium L10 will not start.

    Power supply is OK. When the power is connected the orange battery light comes on. I press the power button the green power light turns on momentarily (literally a Flash), then both the Green and orange lights out with orange alone returning it on about 2 seconds later.

    Else does nothing - no fan activity, no hard disk, no activity of the screen activity, no other light - you get the picture!

    I tried the following:
    Removed battery and tried to start with AC power not only - no joy
    Removed AC power and I tried booting with battery only - no joy
    Barrette of RAM removed and reinstall - no joy

    Does anyone have ideas before considering a tech? Suggestions (with the exception where to paste!) would be welcome.

    Kind regards

    Hmm .He doesn't sound good. For me, it looks like a motherboard problem. It is maybe something wrong with electronic power to the Board of Directors of s. But not for sure.

    What you can do is to remove the battery and unplug the power adapter for a while.
    Wait about 20 minutes and connect the battery and adapter for the laptop. Then try turning on the laptop computer.
    If this does not help I recommend contact the ASP technician, because I don t think you will be able to know what's exactly wrong.

    So I hope that the technician can find the fault quickly and can solve this problem.

    Good luck

  • 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 A300D will not start.

    My Equium A300D does not start. It just displays 'the file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the checksum calculated. Why? What can I do? I have only a few months.

    Have you installed lately new RAM? Its important to the RAM test before use. Or the standard RAM is possibly defective.

    Go to www.memtest.org and run Memtest for a few passes (it is a bootable CD).

    The file system may be damaged, try running CHKDSK from the Recovery Console. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314058

    The HARD drive could be faulty, Hitachi DFT is a good HARD drive tester. Run the test advanced to search for bad sectors.

  • Equium A60 do not start

    Hello

    My Equium A60 primer not. Once the power is on, the Toshiba screen after, nothing else happens. The screen shows that the light is on but nothing is displayed. Fans are working and go to market and stop at intervals.

    During the boot and hold down the F8 key, I tried to load safe mode, but the machine stopped by what follows the on-screen...

    Anyone has any ideas on where to find a solution to this. Is it software or hardware releated etc.

    Thanks much for any help.

    Hello!

    In my view, this could be a problem with the drive HARD or Windows.

    First of all, I would like to check the HARD disk:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    If the HARD drive has no error I would reinstall Windows with the recovery because you disk as no access in safe mode.

    Good bye

  • Equium A60 does not start after the BIOS update

    I have an Equium A60. After being caught with some very nasty malware and Trojan horse, I had the disiccion to reformat the machine and reinstall the OS.

    Everything goes well until I updated the bios. Machine crashed and now I can't restart. Press the power button and the machine will start for 3-4 seconds and then stops.

    I know it of because of the bios and want to know if there is anything that I can reset this back to the original settings?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hello

    Unfortunately, you can not solve a BIOS is broken down by yourself. At the machine really / judgment of accident during the update process? If Yes, then your machine has disappeared and the only chance to bring back to life is to ask an authorized service partner to help you.
    Maybe they have a software to solve these problems. You should try and contact the nearest ASP in your country:

  • Equium L20 will not start properly

    My laptop L20 primer not. A black screen appears "apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully.

    Then tells me to highlight a choice of starting up, but when I choose, it moves quickly on a blue screen that I cannot read, then goes back to the same black screen.

    Help! It feels like Groundhog Day.
    Cannot make it work.

    Hi Donna,.

    More simple you take it out of this situation is to reinstall your operating system of the recovey CDs. Unfortunately this won't replace your data (unless you have partioned your hard drive and store your data on a second partition).

    This problem is usually caused by a missing or corrupt system files that prevent Windows from loading. Of course, you can try to recover the situation by using the since the original Microsoft Installation CD Recovery Console if you have one.

    It is also possible that the failure is due to a defective hard drive but it will become apparent when you try to re - install.

    Kind regards

  • Equium A60 will not work without battery

    Help!

    My A60 will work on a full battery but when I put the power cord in it, it still works on the battery even when he says he gets the sorce of power and count the percentage until he spends.

    Then I let it charge a big short TI. I got a new battery still, a unit of power too much and it does as an update of the bios.

    It's like the charger is there for the battery.

    I agree with Richard. Perhaps is there some problem with electronic supply power. I think that the technicians can run test or some diagnostic programs to verify if really power electronics is damaged.

    Generally electronic power should recognize the power running and automatically turn off battery power and start charging the battery.

  • After RAM upgrade my A60 will not start

    Today I attemed to install new RAM in my A60. It didn't go very well and when he was in and I tried to start the computer, it would have started with amd before turning off again a few seconds later.

    So I took the new RAM and tried to start it and it was fine. I then put the new ram back in and had the same problem, so he pulled out again, but once again with the new RAM it wouldn't start.

    How can I get to do it again?

    How did you try to boot from the CD drive?
    Have you tried to press the C key immediately after starting the laptop?

    Alternatively, you can press F12. The start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the drive as a boot device.

  • Equium A60 does not start correctly

    Hey,.
    I was working on my laptop and it froze, so I restarted, but it froze again.
    When it restarts again the laptop attempted a System Check, but to try to initialize steps 3 > (newspaper?) it happened extremely slow so I restarted it.

    This time, the laptop not boot but produces a blank screen showing:
    "For (x) Realtek RTL8139 810 x PCI Fast Ethernet Controller v 2.13 /8130/ (020326) PXE - E61 Media Test fails, check the cables." PXE-MOF-leave PXE ROM.

    However, when I am sometimes inclined to my laptop, it starts, but slowly?
    I test the University, but I don't understand what to do; I took it to our technicians, and they don't know what to do. Can anyone help please?

    Hello Joseph

    I assume that the HARD drive is at the end of his life. Like written Marina trying to check if you have access to the HARD drive otherwise, I think you need to buy new HARD drive.

    Please let us know if you will find what is the problem.

    HI Ian,

    In situations such as yours, the best option is to contact a Toshiba authorized Service partner who will have the necessary equipment for re-flashing your CMOS with the latest BIOS chip. This will be a much cheaper option than to replace the motherboard or BIOS chip
