Equium EA60-155 has no much memory

Bought a few months ago and I'm not expected that unity is very slow. When I click on the information system, it indicates that memory is just 192 MB - is it just me, or isn't this supposed to be at least 256 MB on these machines?

Hi Colin,

Your EA60 uses the shared RAM for the graphics card. This means that a part of your available RAM is reserved for use graphics (usually 64 MB) and the rest is available for use of the general system. The effect is to reduce your available RAM: 256 MB to 192 MB when you query your information system.

Your BIOS may have an option (UMA I think) that will allow you to change this allocation. The options available are 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB. Generally, 64 MB is the default, but if you do not use the software which is dependent on the graphic quality usually (game or utility of photograph), then you can reduce to make more RAM available for general use.

    This weird thing with my ram got a day is the next 64 MB 256 MB any ideas and how expensive of difficulty? I'd just be able to buy more for the expansion slot?

    see you soon

    Hello

    You can upgrade the memory maximum. 1024 MB and a slot is available because this camera has 256 MB of internal memory.
    These modules are memory compatible:

    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)

  • Replacement help Equium EA60-155?

    Without apparent reason, using 'K' of my Equium has come off. I tried a bit of gentle violin but cannot replace it.

    It is possible, but a pain to get the letter by pressing the key on the keyboard base.

    Does anyone know if it is possible for the user to replace - I really can't manage without the laptop for days if I get a Toshiba service center to fix it.

    Thanks in advance,

    Phil

    PS I guess I'm lucky that it is not the 'E '!

    Hi Phil,

    I managed to replace some of the keys on my keyboard SA30, usually because of their duty be removed to remove the small items that my young son invariably drops in them.

    First of all, you need to remove the help of the lever mechanism 'X '. To do my lifting gently down all aid by keeping in place the mechanism of 'X '. (If you try to remove the top aid you brak the clips that hold it in place.).

    With the help of deleted, you must wind up the mechanism of 'X' for the keyboard itself. You will see four pegs platic bit that should be locked under the metal brackets on each side of the current key. Again, be very careful not to break the components because this will make them useless). You can find easier to remove another help to see exactly how the 'X' lever mechanism is installed.

    Once the lever 'X' is back in place then go back help by hooking the two upper clips in place and Gardner by pressing the lower part of assistance until you feel a slight "click" which indicates that aid is now well in place.

    Good luck.

  • Equium A60-155 has stopped charging the battery

    Hey all
    Can anyone help?

    For no apparent reason my A60 has stopped charging the battery, it works very well with the cord in but take out and matrices of the computer. Energy saving says that it does not load but defaults to full power with the power cord in. I tried to remove the battery for a while and change the power settings, but nothing helped. This happened to someone else? I have to buy a new battery?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    To me, this looks like a charging problem and it can be caused by power supply to electronic malfunction. Perhaps only the battery is dead. However the best solution is to contact the Toshiba service partner because he can start the diagnostic test and then give you an appropriate response.

  • Equium A60-155 - Wireless is not lit

    Recently, I have an old Toshiba Equium EA60-155 off a friend for my nephew because he doesn't have a computer. It didn't work, but I would like to fix things.

    It was designed for XP and only has 768 MB of RAM, but works very well that now, I put XP back on except a problem. There were a couple of missing drivers, that I found and installed, BUT it doesn't have a wi - fi card.

    I plugged an old Wireless LAN CardBus PC Card and had the driver for it. Bulbs work on the map, and everything is OK in Device Manager. Even the Windows Wifi can capture my network.

    The problem is that the current Wi - fi does not seem to be on. Well the front light is not on. However, there is no power switch on this model.

    There is the Fn F8 button, BUT it seems to be the only Fn button that does nothing. I had to install a few other drivers for the other Hotkets, etc... at work, BUT I ran out of drivers to install.

    I guess that there must be a driver or a program that activates the key F8.

    Anyone has any ideas, I have searched high and low and most of the ideas for getting knowhere.

  • Satellite 4030 has much too much memory embedded - 66 MB not 64 MB

    Hi all

    I have a 2nd Satellite 4030 user who has far too much memory shipped! [66 MB not 64 mb]
    The maximum allowed to my machine is Total = 312 mb.

    I added a 256 MB stick in slot 1 memory to the supposed 64 MB on board & it does not start.
    I put back the original 128 MB & started stick & apparently, I have 66 MB of RAM?

    Adding to this 66 MB 256 = 314 MB! 2Mbmb more than max allowed.
    I tried 2 different sticks of 256 of ram to my other laptop Toshiba & still no boot [prove it is the amount of ram?]

    Am or work around for this I stuck running on only 192 MB?

    Help K Morton

    Hello Morton

    This is a very stupid situation. That I can see, nobody has written anything in the last 3 days and to be honest, it is not easy to say why this happens.

    I don't really have experience with these cases, but maybe you can try to update BIOS. Check Toshiba support page and try to update BIOS. Maybe BIOS values will be refreshed, and after that the memory will be displayed as it should be.

  • 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

  • Equium A60 - 155 192Mo of RAM only showes

    I have a satellite EA60-155 it only showes 192 MB of ram.
    Is it actually OK for this laptop?
    It has a celeron 2.80 GHz. 192 seems a strange figure of ram

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    192 MB of RAM?
    I don t think that and I think that you have something so bad you overlooked something or you didn t he checked correctly or you are which means that the memory of the graphics card.

    Available RAM can be checked in the BIOS.
    You can see more details in DirectX also. Start this tool by using the dxdiag command.

    It has all the details.

  • 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.

  • Cannot install XP OS on my Equium A60-155

    Hello guys,.

    I had a laptop series Equium A60-155 about 3 years old worked when I used last and it was about 2-3 months ago. I turn on the laptop yesterday into the to use and she charged up to the logo then no activity on the display showed after that.

    I formatted the laptop with Windows XP Home edition disc and then tried to install Windows XP Home edition, but it keeps stopping at 53% in the installation process.

    I went to a technician, and his suggestions were:
    -Possible overheating,
    -Damaged, hard drive
    -Configuration of the bios,
    -Damaged the motherboard or,
    -damaged band memory.

    I tried again this morning, but even once, he stopped at the same percentage as yesterday 53%. If you have any suggestions that require the problem please post your here on this post.

    Thanks to those who responded.

    Hello

    I also suspect that the HARD drive is faulty. If possible, try to get the second HARD drive for testing. It doesn't have to be a new brand. Test it and post the results.

    We can just speculate on possible problem, but I agree with technician. Take the first step and test the HARD drive.

    O Yes, you can also clean the laptop before starting the procedure of facilities. After only that the laptop will be cooled much better.
