Equium A60 with defective built in memory

Hello

I tried to recover my Equium A60 with the recovery DVD and it does not boot to windows. I tried to install a number of different versions of windows and the error messages lead me to the conclusion that the module memory is faulty. The system came with 256 MB of memory and it is hard because it is part of the motherboard. My question is if I buy a memory module and install it in the expansion slot will be it be prevented from working by the faulty memory?

Hey Kevin,

There is unfortunately no way to isolate the faulty RAM on your motherboard. Even if you install a second module of RAM the system always tries to use the built in so defective module.

You will need to take you laptop to an ASP for the defective replace module.

Kind regards

  • Problems with tdms built executable; memory.cpp write error

    Hello

    I have a problem with writing tdms files in bed which executable, that I created with the Builder application in LabView 8.2.1.

    I created a small requesting readings some channels in the DAQmx. This schould results written in a PDM file. All this happens within a while loop, even the steps open-entry-closing-PDM.

    This test in the development environment everything is fine. But if I create an executable file and try this on the same and other computer, I received an error warning.

    The error that says: error on line 342, memory.cpp

    Is there anyone who has any idea what is the problem? What I have to insert something in the creation of PDM application designer?

    best looks, T.Malec

    The problem of TDMS is special to 8.20. However, you cannot run the executable with a new runtime, because the compiled code is not compatible between major releases (example: code compiled with 8.5.0 will run on 8.5.1, but not on 8.6.x).)

  • Equium A60 - I'd like to update the RAM

    I have an Equium A60 with 256 MB of RAM - I would like to upgrade to as much RAM as possible

    Can anyone tell what is the maximum amount of RAM I can crack and what kind of RAM I need?

    Thank you...

    Hi guys

    I checked the manual and it says that you can use the 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB PC2100 or PC2700 RAM memory module can be improved up to 1.5 GB (1 GB + 512 MB) why?
    Because it has 512 MB internal memory, which is NOT removable!

    A module can be inserted into the slot that is placed at the bottom of the unit
    You should see a slot cover in the middle of the Panel which is fixed with a screw.
    Remove this screw and you would be abele to remove the cover of the location too.

    More details are mentioned in the user manual!

  • How to activate the resolution wide screen to external monitor on Equium A60?

    Hello

    I had an Equium A60 with an ATI Radion 7000 mobility grahpics chip in it. Earlier the LCD is dead and has decided to use an external monitor rather than replace it. However, the external monitor is a monitor 22 '' widescreen computer does not provide a display suitable for resolution. Is it possible to update the graphics driver to provide the wide screen formats. I looked on the toshiba updates, but there is nothing new there, and ATI are not ready to support offer it on a laptop.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can't choose your preferred resolution because the graphics driver does not support.
    Eventually the 3rd party driver support your favorite display resolution, but to be honest I wouldn't use these drivers because it could cause serious difficulties for laptop.
    The point is that these 3 third-party drivers are untested and not certified by Toshiba.
    Therefore, the use is at your own risk.

  • Built-in memory card reader does not

    Hi all
    I use an Acer aspire one 533 with windows xp sp2. My has netbook with a built-in memory card reader that does not detect my memory cards (SD cards).
    FYI, the laptop has recently been recreated!
    Please help me! I am in critical need of it as most of the work on readers of SD.

    It is very possible that you need a driver.  The first place to look is the Acer site.  I couldn't find your model (533) in the list but I found a 5330 model at the following link which includes drivers for the card reader:
       <>http://support.Acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=52 >
    Start your search here:
       <>http://support.Acer.com/us/en/default.aspx >

    If this does not help, do the Device Manager:
    Start-> Run-> "devmgmt.msc".
    Find your card reader in the list, double-click it to obtain information on the manufacturer and model, and then search for a driver from the manufacturer's website.

  • Faulty memory to Equium A60

    Hi all

    Has just been given a notebook Equium A60 to look at, basically when I try recovery DVD, all is well until the phone restarts, errors occur with files system etc, blue screen of death, I tried MEMTEST86 memory and he finished only 12% before it failed with errors.

    I think that memory is faulty & is giving me these errors, I removed the cover at the back of the laptop & was surprised to see that the only slot was empty?

    Where is the memory of the system on these laptops? Windows XP says 192Mo, so I assume that 256 MB with 64 MB taken by graphic design...

    I have to 'strip' of the laptop to be able to get to the memory & if so is this a replaceable part?

    Any info or help would be greatly appreciated

    > Does that mean that the "base memory" is an integral part of the system board, so if it is faulty, then a new card system is required?
    I m afraid, Yes.
    The A60 takes support only one expandable memory slot!

    > Is there a way to "turn off" this memory installation & some external memory instead?
    The 256 MB internal memory is integrated on the motherboard and cannot be eliminated as the common memory modules.

    It really looks like a malfunction MB:(et le MB entier doit être remplacé.)
    But this is only my personal opinion and to be 100% sure that the verification of the laptop is necessary.

  • Equium A60-155 - memory upgrade

    I currently have Toshiba Equium A60-155 with 192 MB of RAM standard, and thought of the upgrade or buy a new laptop and I'm looking for advice.

    I use my computer for music production mainly as well as simple tasks such as browsing the internet and funny game (mainly supercomputers, data sets with less emphasis on graphics etc.)

    Basically everything I want to know the weather bought 1 GB of RAM would be update worth it because at the present time, the performance is slow to say the least. It would make a lot of improvement to my laptop or I'd better save for a few months and buy a new computer laptop all together?

    Thanks guys :)

    Hi Claire,

    Increase the RAM in your A60: his current 256 MB will certainly benefit even if I suspect that the improvement will be not exactly breathtaking.

    I suggest using the monitor of the task (available in Task Manager, during the execution of some of your applications to see just what the memory usage you actually is.

    You currently have 64 MB of your existing RAM allocated for use of graphics, and you may be able to reduce this to 32 MB or 16 MB even to give you an additional display options in RAM capacity advances.

    The actual gain from adding additional RAM will come if you want to run multiple simultaneous applications.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Unless you are an experienced user, you should allow Windows to manage this setting for you. Your problem may occur if the default settings have been changed somehow. First to diagnose your problem, you must follow these steps to ensure that Windows runs properly your virtual memory settings.

    1. find out how virtual memory is managed. Right click on 'My Computer' and choose 'properties '. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Performance click settings.
    2. which opens your performance Options. Click the Advanced tab. For private users 'typical' Processor Scheduling & Memory use must be set to "programs".
    3. under virtual memory, click change.
    4. which opens the virtual memory options. If you have more than one hard drive, make sure that your primary hard drive is selected under "Drive".
    5. under "Paging File Size for selected device" check the box indicating the size of the managed system.
    6. click OK in all the 3 boxes to close off these settings and restart your computer

  • Equium A60 runs unstable - how can I upgrade the memory?

    I have a friend visit me who has an Equium A60 which is very unstable when she runs multiple applications. I checked and it has only 192 MB of RAM. Can be increased and if so how much. How many slots are there on this machine?

    She is currently in the USA and I checked on Toshiba USA website and cannot find this PC is listed, so it should only be sold in Europe. It would be useful if someone could tell me what kind of memory it takes so I could look for it here. She is a student and in great need of a stable computer for his studies.

    Thanks a lot for all the help in advance.

    Hello

    Of course you can upgrade the memory.
    I guess you have only 192 MB memory main because the laptop came with 256 MB internal memory and the 64 MB are shared by the graphics card! This is why only 192 MB are free.

    Anyway, as I said the laptop came with 256 MB internal and memory is not removable.
    So only one slot is expandable!
    If you can upgrade the memory for max 1280MB (256 MB + 1024 MB)

    You can use the modules:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    Do you know where is the crack?

    The slot is placed at the bottom of the device! The cover is fixed with a screw.
    Remove this screw and you will be able to open the slot and improve memory.

    PS; I think that upgrading memory is described in the manual of Toshiba that was preinstalled on your laptop.
    Alternatively, you can download this manual from the page of Tosh

  • Failed to start after installing the new memory module Equium A60

    I have an Equium A60 laptop with the following specs:
    P4 3.06 GHz
    256 MB Ram (including 64 MB ATI graphics card)
    30 GB HD
    Windows XP Home Edition

    The problem is the following; I bought a bar of memory in order to update my system. I bought a Kingston SO-dimm pc2100 512 MB. After installation of the memory of the laptop wouldn't start, after about 5 seconds after having turned it on, it turns off completely.

    If I remove the memory it starts up fine. I had tested memory and its ok so there seems to be a problem with the laptop itself. I'm confused, so if anyone has an idea of what might cause boot failure, I would be happy to know.

    Thank you very much...

    As far as I know the main reason for the failure of start is the use of non compatible modules.

    According to the specifications of the laptop, you must use PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51). If you want to buy the module Kingston (products of very good quality) check it please the Kingston MEMORY SEARCH
