  Hello

  I think the disk replacement procedure is very similar to replacements on other laptops.
  To remove the STRANGE bay module follow these steps:

  1. turn the computer.
  2. remove the black binding screws.
  3 turn the computer over and open the display.
  4. push the module bay ODD.

  All that s. It s not achieved with a screw.

• Satellite Pro A60: How to change the size of the AGP aperture?

  Hi people!

  I recently bought a laptop Satellite Pro A60 series.

  I also had an upgrade to 512 MB RAM module for it.

  Since then a few games that I try to launch slow area. (it wasn't before) I have increased the Frame Buffer, but wish to increase the AGP Aperture Size as well, but there is no option for this in the BIOS?

  Is there a fix that solves it?

  Hello

  Well, you said that the games run a bit slowly after upgrade memory.
  In this case, I guess that the graphics card is not really the problem.
  As far as I know if memory modules are not similar system could runs unstable.
  In addition, after the upgrade, you should try to install this new programs (games).

• Satellite Pro A60-221 - how to reflash the BIOS?

  Hello

  I was installing a new fresh OS on a Satellite Pro A60-221(PSA65E-02E03TFR), I wanted to take it seriously, so I tried to update the BIOS. I used the program given by Toshiba in a zip file: bios - 20070808110029.zip, the program is called: Osaka20V190.exe.
  I run it, in the end, the computer turned off, so I reboot it. Since then the computer do 4 beeps, 1 long 1 short 1 long anda the last short I think that the shutdown of the computer itself.

  So I think that I should have made a huge mistake (perhaps because that I run Osaka20V190.exe directly in the zipfile whithout put on the desktop for example, stupid, stupid, stupid...), and my question is:
  Is it possible to Flash the bios to the default without having to start the computer? As in a motherboard, you can put a jumper between the two pins?

  If the answer is already in this forum, I'm really sorry to bother you, I searched in the pro A60 series but could not find.

  Best regards.

  Hi hyeud,

  > maybe because that I run Osaka20V190.exe directly in the file zip whithout to put it on the desktop for example
  Yes, generally all the files of zip archive must be extracted first before starting the update, but now it s too late

  Such a reflash BIOS what you hear can only be initiated because on the Toshiba authorised service provider Web site, you can download a Windows based BIOS update.

  To contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. Guys can you help you get rid of this problem. :)

• Question about the use of the Satellite Pro A60 fan

  Hello

  I intend to get a Satellite Pro A60 and I was wondering how much the fan turns on.

  Could someone comment if the fan turns on when the machine is totally inactive, and how he lights up when the machine is used for word processing and surfing the web?

  For example, when using normally does the fan turn on 1/10th of the time, or 1/2 time etc.?

  Thanks in advance,
  Pete.

  Hello

  Sorry I can't give you specific information about the cooling fan. A60 is known to me. It's a very nice laptop. Cooling vent is in reverse I am a pretty that there is no background noise.

  If you make the decision to buy it, look at what the capacity of the HARD drive is too high and that the DVD-ROM can burn a lot of different formats (DVD Super Multi drive).

  Have lots of fun with it.

  Hi Barry,.

  I'd be inclined to return your laptop to an authorized Service Agent Toshiba. The OEM software should not require all the updated drivers at this early stage of his life, and the unit will be well within its warranty period.

  The closer your repairman details can be found on the Toshiba site.

• Satellite Pro A60: Blue error screen

  I got my satellite pro A60 laptop for about 6 months and, recently, a blue screen started flashing up to white writing scrolling down really fast and then the laptop restarts. I don't have the time to read what says the writing of this article. Can someone give me advice on what this could be and how to solve the problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Well, the simple is to reinstall the operating system. But if you wish, you can disable the function of Windows Xp to automatically read this massage of error on reboot.
  Go to system in Control Panel. Then the Advanced tab. In the announcement of the Startup Recovery section press set button. You need to disable the option automatically reboot.
  But it of very difficult to understand the error blue screen for ordinary users.

• Satellite Pro A60 - recovery question

  I tried to do a cover of product on a satellite pro A60

  I put in discs 1 and 2 according to the instructions and everything seems to work ok.
  Then tells me to remove the recovery media and restart the computer using ctrl alt del

  It restarts and goes through toshiba screen and on the screen of windows xp... then a blue screen that says please wait while windows prepares to start... then on windows xp with a saying of hourglass professional screen, please wait. Nothing else happens.

  It does nothing else, we left it for 3 hours today and it didn't go past this screen.

  Everyone knows it or can give me some tips on how to make the laptop still works?

  I installed windows and the Toshiba Recovery many times and I didn't noticed this problem on any of my books.
  I remember that once my Windows installation operating system has failed. I put t know why
  But I just formatted my HARD disk, erase all partitions and started the installation again! The procedure is completed successfully and portable started in the Win XP operating system.

  You must understand you problem could be linked to the software only or the operation of the equipment (HARD drive?)

  One question; have you used the recovery CD Toshiba compatible? I read repeatedly on similar problems, and finally the wrong recovery CD was the reason for start-up/installation problems.

  Make sure that sue you the good CD and then I would recommend repeat the installation of the OS.

• ATI error and no windows - Satellite Pro A60

  Hello

  When I start my computer, I get a blue error screen c0000415
  A quick google reveals that this is one of these: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832324

  "So what are you bothering? I hear you cry - the problem I have is, in getting this error of the other (also the ATI card based) I stuck my red disc in and erased everything - including the windows... and CFLA error occurs before windows installs and SafeMode (-that worked perfectly before) does not work because windows is not installed!

  Oh the fun.

  "I think it's a hardware error" - Yes so don't I... However, before the reinstall and get it back, I could work to the computer in safe mode and videos played very well with the resolution and full color. Am I missing the point if I think a video work is an indicator of a working video card?

  I admit that I'm perplexed indeed. I'll try to dig up an old Windows 98 drive, but I don't know how much this will help, because the only copy of XP I have is on the recovery disk... [Return to step 1]

  Any suggestions much appreciated - thanks in advance...

  [it's a satellite pro A60 w / 256 +?] RAM, processor celeron 2.8 Ghz, ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 etc...]

  Hello

  As suggested in document of Microsoft this problem can occur if an ATI Radeon 7200 graphics card has been installed on your computer and the driver that is supplied with this adapter may not work correctly with Windows XP.
  The installation of SP2 should help.

  This statement of Ms. says it all! It of not a hardware problem but it is a compatibility issue with Windows XP (without SP2) and the driver radeon ATI 7200.

  You should try to get an original CD of Windows XP with or without SP2.
  The software callednLiteallows you to create a Windows clean boot CD and add the patches MS and service packs for this CD.

  Then, you can try to boot this CD and after installing the OS, you need to update or change the graphics driver!

• Need latest driver for ATI Radeon 7000 igp - Satellite Pro A60 mobility

  Please let me know which ati driver to d/l for my laptop satellite pro a60 en please.

  How can I find out what bios version I have installed and which is the latest relevant version for me and windows xp.

  Many thanks steve

  Hi Steven,

  You can access the last display on the web site of Toshiba driver. Just click on the tab Support & downloads (Download Files) and then enter the details of your laptop. You can select all drivers or just the display drivers.

  You can find out what version of BIOS you have by entering the BIOS during the initial power on the process. Just press the ESC key when the TOSHIBA logo appears, and then press F2 to enter the BIOS configuration panels. Make sure you do not make changes to the BIOS settings unless you really want to. :-) As with the details of the driver, you can access the latest version of the BIOS for notebook on the Web from Toshiba-> Support site @ downloads-> update your BIOS, then just enter the details of your laptop.

  Kind regards
