Equium or Satellite A60

I just got a new laptop. He says that it is an Equium A60 but when I have regestered with Toshiba is said that it is a Satellite A60. Is there a difference? I also bought a wireless adapter mini pci to adapt as it is not ready wireless but when I opened the lid of the wireless card is not a slot at the back of the MOBO and 2 screws. All advice welcome

Hi John

As far as I know the series Equium made just for the United Kingdom. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's the same model but cell phones in the United Kingdom have a different name.

One of my friends told me that some store in the United Kingdom (Dixons or something like that) offers models of computers portable satellite. It is also possible that Toshiba is registered under the name of Satellite. But don't you worry. Your serial number is important and if the service partner needs to check something they need for a serial number and not the name of the model.

Good luck with your new toy!

    Hello

    Usually there are different sets of Satellite A60 Equium A60 different but the two laptops are very similar and you should be able to install the motherboard of a satellite A60 in the Equium A60.

    The dimensions of (width + length) motherboards are the same.

  • Satellite A60 and energy saving issues

    Hello

    I am facing a problem that drives me crazy. After I formatted my laptop and install Windows XP, I'm never able to install Toshiba Power Saver or any kind of Toshiba Utilities. Setup turns on, but after that, it displays an error message (sometimes just sound no message) and it stops.

    To be more precise:

    I use a Satellite A60-302, with extra addition of 256 MB of RAM. I formatted the C: partition and installed Windows XP Professional (I tried 3 different versions: right XP, XP with integrated SP1, XP with SP2 integrated; just to be sure if the problem was caused by service packs). Then I inserted the CD provided, put in place the ATI card, etc. its pilots respecting order but when it comes to saving energy, the nightmare starts.

    I removed the RAM I added and tried the whole installation by the original Setup process, but no change... My hard drives are well checked for any kind of virus, and the installation process was done with the ethernet cable connected to offshore to prevent any possible intrusion.

    Funny, I remember setting up Win XP Pro on this machine before 3 months no problem at all. The only significant change since that day is the update of the BIOS from 1.60 to 1.80.

    Looks like a "common modules" error but it is not "common modules", on the CD or on the internet.

    Finally, I must say that I can't use my recovery CD because it's Windows XP Home Edition in Turkish, but I use Windows XP Professional English provided by my employer.

    Any help? I'll be delightened if someone could help me.

    Hi sunfury,.

    I imagine you're nettled. But there must be a solution to your problem.

    You are right. There is no common Modules for this machine. Usually the common Modules, all Toshiba tools depend on. It is the main module.

    In your case, it is very important to use a specific order of installation. Normally, you must use the order of Installation set by Toshiba. You can find it on
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/satellite/SA60/win-XP/install_xp_na_en.zip.

    But there is also another solution. I usually install on this path:
    -OS
    -chipset + display driver
    -audio driver
    -fix for... (all)
    -one other drivers (modem, LAN etc..)

    When you want to install the tools of Toshiba try in this order:
    -Power Sawer
    -Init GST
    -TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility
    -TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for display
    -Other utilities
    -TOSHIBA Console

    If you want to install SP2, maybe it will be better to do it later. It is also possible that some of the tools after installation of SP2 will not function properly.

    If you still have problems made me know.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A60: Unable to connect to the internet via a modem - no dial-up

    In my Satellite A60, WinXP Home, when I try to connect to the Internet via the modem of Toshiba, I get error 6: handle not valid, and after a few attempts, I get error 50: all devices connected / request not supported.

    Device Manager / network / card Asynchronous RAS displays an error (black exclamation point on a yellow background).
    The driver is asyncmac.sys = MS Access Remote network serial driver.

    I have:
    -tried to uninstall the RAS asynchronous card, but no luck, didn't say it may be necessary to start
    -modem uninstalled / reinstalled
    -update of Windows XP through windows update
    -update of the bios / modem / network drivers from Toshiba

    No luck, the RAS asynchronous card error is still there.

    Any suggestion?
    Thank you

    I think that this problem is Windows XP and map Asynchronous RAS, not the modem.
    The modem correctly composed the number, negotiates the user and the password, and then I get error 6 and 50.
    On the internet I found this tip for uninstalling and reinstalling the RAS asynchronous card:
    http://forums.practicallynetworked.com/showthread.php?t=6781
    I followed the instructions and run RArepair.exe.
    It uninstalls and reinstalls the map Asynchronous RAS, but RAS is still in error (the yellow field in the Device Manager).

  • Canoe install audio driver on my old Satellite A60

    Hi all

    I have an old laptop Satellite A60, and he had a problem so I formatted and reinstall windows, but I didn't have the original CD of windows came with this laptop so I used another CD that was provided by toshiba (I have another mobile satellite (I don't remember the exact model)). Everything worked fine, most of the toshiba utilities was already installed, but the graphics and audio cards drivers, missing (normal). I went to the toshiba website and download the audio drivers, installed, and when I clicked to restart the computer, after 2-3 seconds, I get a blue screen of death with the error STOP: 0x000008E and a TVS.sys file

    So I opened the computer and the driver was still missing. A few times, the driver is there and windows will not open and I have to go into safe mode and uninstall the driver. It's really annoying. I have tried other older versions of realtek AC97 drivers but does not work either. I tried like versions of the original that I downloaded from the official website of toshiba and 3 drivers, nothing works... The graphics card has functioned well tho... but having no sound is annoying...

    Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

    Different models of laptops have different hardware platforms and each recovery image is created for some portable model. Maybe this other model has different chipset, GPU, WLAN card, sound card, and so on.
    So I m really not ask you got BSOD at the beginning. There must be a conflict (registry entries) driver.

    What you can try is to install again and remove almost all the drivers installed and try to install the right drivers for the Toshiba download page in the hope that everything will be OK.
    I m not 100% sure, but tvs.sys probably owned audio filter.

  • Satellite A60 - laptop battery not charge/work

    Hello

    My stop laptop when you use the battery power. It will not re-start until I plugged in to the power supply. Every time I disconnected power laptop would shutdown. laptop does not work on batteries, no lights are working.
    When it is plugged seeing orange lights. Battery remains 90% fresh even after hours on departure av! I suggest that I can't use the battery power and the battery won't charge.
    Only a new battery in a month and has worked well up until now.

    I tried toshiba control energy saver but made no difference.

    I can't say with certainty if this happens because of the battery or something. In my opinion, it can be either battery or electronic power supply.
    Satellite A60's old laptop and everything is possible.

    Pre-installed software doesn t have a any influence on this. Toshiba power saver is preinstalled to consumption, Manager, with other words to help reduce battery power consumption and longer battery.

  • Satellite A60 - 102 - what HARD drive is possible

    What capacity of hard drive used in this laptop

    Hello

    Satellite A60 is a little older series and I think that the laptop supports the IDE HDD controller
    Perhaps the HARD disk controller support for only 28 bit LBA, which means that only 128 GB would be recognized by the BIOS.

    I think a 120 GB HDD should work but I'm not sure if the biggest hard drives would be supported due to mentioned m 28-bit LBA

    Hi mamlouk.

    I think that there's no way when you are working with a Windows operating system. There is a standard keyboard driver that could not be changed!

  • Mini-PCI I have a Satellite A60-302 - myth or reality?

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite A60-302 (PSA60E-00J030HU) and theoretically there is no MiniPCI slot in the computer (at least it does not mention the Hungarian manual), but the online manual (preinstalled on your laptop) refers to a cover on the bottom as "Cover WLAN", that material incidentally doesn't not part of this model. (And the part of the motherboard under this coverage is not something that resembles a slot MiniPCI, well that according to the English manual and specifications online to some Toshiba Page, I found in the Linux knowledge base, it must be part of this config.)
    Allright, there is no MiniPCI, I said, I should buy a PCMCIA CardBus WiFi adapter. I thought I'll check on the toshiba online store, to be sure, I'm buying quality products. But when I choose 'Specific product Options' and choose my config, the Bank's research concludes _only_ MiniPCI solutions for my laptop, which theoretically (and physically) does not support.
    Is it not a bit strange? :)

    Hello
    beginning of the "742" series machine was delivered with Wifi (Build-in).

    But even if a Mini PCI card would fit in your Machine, the problem is that you have no generation of antenna in.

    These are normally inside the display cover.

    So the best way is to buy a Wifi USB key. His fabulous work but not manufactured by Toshiba.

    Running perfectly with my A60-102...

    Can someone cause this problem?
    Someone at - it a solution?

    Hello

    Looking on the European driver Toshiba page?
    There is an AGP-ATI driver screen. You must download and install it.

    I assume that you have not used the Toshiba Recovery for the installation of the OS CD. Why?
    On this CD, all drivers are pre-installed and it s a better way to install the operating system.

    But if you want to manually install the OS you should do it in the right order.
    The Nice installation instruction is placed on the driver page.

  • Black screen on my satellite A60

    Someone help pleae. Downloaded a pack of sevice on my satellite A60 and he did serious damage to a graphics driver... decided to recovery sysem completely... Put the recovery disk in... rebooted, held the key c pressed and nothing happens... it starts up but no display at all... machine very quiet well on... help!

    Yes, I had the same thing, but with my satellite P10 (blue one), its still very new and I don't think that the problem was with the battery etc since when I loaded, right after the orange charge turns green after awhile, which indicates its fully charged.

    I just played an online game when all of a sudden the laptop instantly closed (it was on the charger ALL the time, but like I said the problem isn't here) then I tried to re - open myh laptop, everything was ok, except the screen, which was black ALL the time, there was no noise which indicated that the laptop did not enter windows.

    And as Raym0nd said, my cell phone was a little unusually quiet too...

    I hope to get professional help on this. Thank you.

    P.S: I realized that, when the laptop is turned off (I played an online game) that the internet connection was not longer working because it has expired. That has affected the laptop, because when you're not online and your game, it closes instantly, the game that is... But I had this situation many times before... Why it is like that now...?

    I need help as soon as POSSIBLE... Thank you all very much.

  • Satellite A60 Power Saver error

    Hi Mark

    The only thing you can try is to remove the energy saver and try to install it again. It is also possible that it will not help as there are entries in the registry. If there is no problem for you the best way is to reinstall the unit with recovery CD. After that it works again.

    In my opinion, it is not easy to repair some specific tools such as energy saving.
