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...

Good bye

    The color on the TV settings won't help. Check please the port on your TV settings. As far as I know by the use of the pot from S-video to TV, it must be enabled properly to get the color.

    Your best bet might be trying to use an external CD/DVD drive to install Windows XP (must confirm that your laptop can boot from USB CD/DVD). I would not recommend it otherwise because they are pretty complicated and you will encounter other issues.

  • Upgrade to 1 gig Ram on a Satellite A60 302

    Hi there, 1st time user here
    I bought a Sodimm DDR 333 mhz 1gig of ram card for my Satellite A60-302 and installed today - but without success
    The laptop turns on but the screen remains black and then the laptop turns off, it also emitted a continuous beep. I thought it was because the RAM was too, but he can handle 1280MB of RAM and 256 enjoys so it should be able to handle
    RAM has not been affected by the static-hands then someone can help?
    Thank you very much
    Matt

    You re right. The unit should be able to handle the module memory 1024Mo in one location.
    I have only one explanation why the laptop will not work after the upgrade.
    Either the module is not compatible and not right or it s simply corrupt.
    I recommend using the modules recommended by Toshiba.
    These are:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    PA3313U-1M1G is a module of memory-SO DIMM 200-pin DDR 333 MHz PC2700.

  • Satellite A60-302: CD Player read DVDs and CDs but not burned discs

    I have a Toshiba laptop: Satellite A60-302 and I have a problem with the cd player. It can read DVDs and records I buy but it will not read burned discs (even the ones I burned with the portable computers own burner). Only from time to time, he will read a burned disc.
    I tried to clean the eye of laser of cd players, but it did not help.

    Anyone know what could be the problem?

    Hello

    This sounds like the CD burner doesn't burn CD correctly.
    You suggested that you used different types of CD.
    In the user manual, you will find a list of compatible media.
    These media has been tested and it works correctly.

    But if this happens with all CD, so possibly the drive cannot work properly and only a replacement would solve that problem.

    As far as I know there are two connectors that are marked with the HAND and to THE.
    In this case, please connect the white cable to the HAND and the black cable to the auxiliary voltage
    Additionally, you have the drivers and Utilities CD Utility & Tools, or you can download it on the Toshiba site. To my knowledge, the PA3300U-1MPC is an Atheros WiFi card.
    Therefore, you need Atheros AR5001X Mini PCI Wireless Network Adapter V2.1.2.16 and Atheros Client Utility V2.1.2.16

  • Satellite A60-302 keeps closing

    Hello

    Recently, I noticed that our a60 started running slower and slower. It has been upgraded to 1.25 GB of memory without a lot of speed increase. I checked for viruses and malware and it's clean, I tried to clean the fan aswell (it is not so easy to get in) without much success. It seems very quickly throw the hot air and the fan is constantly ramp up full in an attempt to cool. In the last two weeks, it turns itself just to the, which I guess means now that it is overheating.

    No idea what to try next? It executes the BIOS 1.9, but I also noticed that things like Firefox or IE can sometimes take 90% of the time CPU for some time, which I guess also puts strain on the CPU. I would go to the bottom of why it is overheating so fast today, and if that's the cause of it works more slowly and more slowly, or if the idle is causes the load on the CPU and it overheats.

    Hello

    a reason may be that the cooling system of your machine is clobbed with dust. I suggest you to buy compressed air in a box (available in the electronic markets (is)
    and clean your cooling system (fans, etc...). If the problem persists, it would be preferable for you to contact a technician for laptop computers and let them clean out
    the cooling system.

    Should help, I got the same thing with the mother Satellite 2430, so after cleaning, the technician has applied new cooling grease for the CPU.
    After that the machine runs smoothly and well.

    Try it :)

  • Wire antennas check on Satellite A60 - 302

    I want to buy this product on e - Bay:

Insert the card and fix the two wire antennas, which should already be inside the compartment (you can check these now to make sure that you have an internal antenna). »

    How I check it? (two wire antennas)

    Thank you

    [Edited by: admin on August 28, 2006 10:35]

    Hello

    I found the info that your Satellite is not ready WLAN and because of this, you will not be able to use this wireless network card. I'm not 100% sure but I think the WLAN card slot is located under the keyboard. It will be interesting to check if there are two available cables (black and white cables from antenna).

    Alternatively, you can contact Toshiba partner in your country, and they can give you info on compatibility with the WLAN card and upgrade possibility. Otherwise you can use the little USB WLAN stick.

  • Question about power lamp on my Satellite A60 - 302

After doing this operations is charing again, but a few minutes later lamb out...
    What is this prob. and what we do

    Hi Levent,

    Regarding your power supply problem, I would recommend re-installing the utility of power management Toshiba since the Toshiba utility CD, (unless you use Microsoft Power settings of course. I then go into the utility of Toshiba power from the control panel and check that the power is as you want them to be.

    Your ventilation issue is quite common (you can search this forum for similar positions), but in short, the cooling fans are blocked with dust and other debris over a period of time. You should clean this accumulation of CPU radiator by carefully removing the radiator under the laptop or by sucking debris with a household vacuum. Where the CPU is too hot the notebook our instantly down to avoid damage even if you notice a rapid increase in the speed of the fan before that happens.
