• New DVD drive not recognized on my Satellite Pro 4600

  Hi all

  I recently bought an engraver of DVD in NEC ND-6650 nine.
  This drive is NOT recognized by my Satellite Pro 4600 at all - neither Windows 2000 nor in the BIOS (v 2.60). BIOS updates higher than the 2.60 version are not provided.
  Does that mean I can forget about using the new writer in my old notebook?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Nils

  Hi Nils,

  I suspect that your new drive may be not be compatible with your laptop. Like all scanners to your new drive will be configured as slave or master (or CSEL possible), and this configuration should match your laptop.

  Usually your hard drive is configured as master on IDE channel 0 with optical drive is the slave on the same channel device. However, you may find that your optical drive is configured as master on the IDE 1 channel.

  Normally the setting is preconfigured by the manufacturer so you will need to check both the conficuration of your new drive and the configuration of your original drive to make sure they are the same.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro A60 does not illuminate

  When I try to boot my Toshiba Satellite Pro A60, seems to be powered. A few seconds later, there is a click and it cuts.

  I tried to turn on the computer with just the power supply with the battery removed, just with no power supply and battery and power, but none of these options are making a difference.

  I also tried to clean the fan in the aspirant from the outside by a suction pipe, but even once, it did not help.
  Can help you with the Please this problem?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  Turn the laptop over and unscrew the cover on the ram. Then remove the ram and try to turn it on again. If it lights, put the piston inside the laptop and try again. It does not turn on? Then your ram is dead. If yes then you can replace, or have your asp replace it. If this does not resolve the problem, there is a small plastic cover that runs along the keyboard just above the keyboard. Take this off and then unscrew the fixing screws to the bottom of the keyboard. Under the keyboard, you may have a second RAM slot. If Yes, try to remove the RAM stick and turn. It work? If this isn't the case, you probably have a problem with the motherboard. If it lights fine, then you have found the issue and can replace or continue using it without the extra RAM. Hope this helps and have a nice day.

• New RAM for Satellite Pro A60

  Hi guys, I got a Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 for about a year now and am lloking to buy little RAM for that I met two links that seem similar, but have different prices. The first link is www.dabs.com and it is "Crucial 1 GB 200pin SODIMM PC2700 DDRRAM without parity"

  The link to it is
  http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?quicklinx=31BB&SearchType=1&searc hTerms = DDR + PC2700 & PageMode = 3 & SearchKey = All & SearchM ode = All & keys = 50090, 4294957152, 40387

  He has on the actual key that it is an essential product and this second link is crucial.com/uk and seems to be the same thing but different prices
  http://www.crucial.com/UK/store/MPartspecs.asp?mtbpoid=8AB46FD7A5CA7304&WSMD=SATEL lite + Pro + series A60 & WSPN plus CT419262

  Basically, I was wondering if someone could help me telling me if these two are compatible with my laptop, or are the same as the other and which recommend you for me. And sorry if it is too much but can anyone give me any help on installation of the RAM chip? It is difficult to do at all?

  Thank you very much if you can help me out in any way possible.

  Hello

  The original RAM module apart from the number PA3313U-1M1G (1024 MB PC2700). It is always recommended to use tested and original pieces, as many users have a problem after the purchase of the module to different inexpensively.

  In my opinion, you can buy cheaper and test. If there is no problem you can return.

• Satellite Pro A60 does not recognize DVD-R blank disc

  Can anyone help?

  I've tried several brands of DVD - R, but also blank discs DVD + R on my Satellite Pro A60, but very few of them are even recognized.

  Pioneer DV - RW DVR - K13A is supposed to work correctly when I check the Properties tab.

  I tried to watch upodates but frmwre - na .zip was not allowed to work, the D drive was not considered appropriate...

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Hello

  What exactly do you mean? Is the drive does not support content or there is problem if you want to burn data on DVD-R media?

  Can you please explain this a little more carefully?

  Just FYI: I use the empty media TDK almost 5 years and I can say that TDK is very good for this kind of things.

• Satellite Pro A60 - Windows XP shows / use only a part of RAM available

  Hello guys!

  I am facing strange problems with one of my two A60s. I just upgraded two of them with 1024 MB of RAM the same. One works perfectly, but the other will show me only 410 MBs in Windows. The BIOS indicates the correct size. I changed the RAM from one to the other, but this strange error is always present. The version of the BIOS has been updated to 1.90 and has Windows XP SP2.

  Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Is there an easy way to put the management of RAM in Windows?

  Thank you in advance!

  Ralf

  It s very strange.
  I found that an additional Satellite Pro A60 info has been delivered with a different hardware configuration.
  Some A60 Pro comes with an internal memory of 512 MB and others with only 256 MB internal memory.
  In addition, the internal memory modules cannot be deleted and there is only one slot for memory upgrade.

  But I put t know why the OS shows only 410 MB

  Oh, I forgot to mention that the graphics card, also use the part of the main memory and, therefore, the operating system of shared memory could indicates a value of different memory.

• USB devices not seen on Satellite Pro A60

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my laptop Satellite Pro A60 running Windows XP Home: it is simply not to see all devices at all. Devices (USB, fan keys) are to be supplied with electricity, but I can find no trace of them on the computer anywhere. It is even not complain that they are not recognized - it's as if they were not there. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers of hub USB root/controllers, but that has not helped.

  It is the latest in a string a glitches that can be helpful to know: a few weeks ago, the ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP suddenly caused windows crash at boot time. I could just sort the problem by updating the bios and reinstall the ATI drivers (all toshiba). It is not of course the relevance, but after the bios update I also improved the 6 F-secure antivirus software. XX to 7.01.

  Usually, I try to get as much as I can by reading these forums but I'm not a guru of computing and on this one, I'm out of ideas - because Windows is not identify any fault, I don't even know what to look for on google... Someone has an idea?

  Thank you very much

  Philippe

  Hmm, you said that you have already reinstalled the drivers of USB controllers/root hub.

  But maybe you should try to make this again as a result of this procedure;
  -Disconnect all USB devices
  -go to the Device Manager and change the view to display hidden devices.
  -Open the tree of the USB controller and remove all controllers.
  -Restart the computer and wait until the OS has installed everything again.
  -Then plug the USB devices to the USB ports for laptop

  If this does not help, it would be desirable to recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD supplied.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A60: what RAM should I take?

  Hello.
  I have a Satellite Pro A60 P4 532, with the following:
  3.06 GHz/XP Pro/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/DVD-CDRW/LAN/WiFi

  I want to add memory (256 MB).
  On the web site of Toshiba, they lead me to the PA3127U - 1 M 25 (DDR PC2100), but I see that for almost similar laptops they offer the PA3311U - 1 M 25 (PC2700 DDR)

  * 256 MB DDR PC2100 (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  -P4 532 (3.06 GHz) / XP Pro/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/DVD-CDRW/LAN/WiFi
  -Celeron D335 (2.8 GHz) / XP Home/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/CD-RW/DVD-LAN

  * 256 MB DDR PC2700 (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  -P4 532 (3.06 GHz) / XP Pro/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/DVD-CDRW/LAN
  -P4 532 (3.06 GHz) / XP Pro/512 MB/60 GB/15TFT/DVD-R/RW/LAN
  -Celeron D335 (2.8 GHz) / XP Pro/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/CD-RW/DVD-LAN

  Can I take the PC2700?
  Not for the best performance, but it is cheaper!

  In addition, it is the same problem with 512 MB...

  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes, you can take PA3311U - 1 M 25 (PC2700 DDR).

• Re: Satellite Pro A60 - PCMCIA WLAN card does not question CardBus

  I received an A60 to upgrade for a friend and one of the necessary things is a wireless card.

  I got a 32-bit cardbus card but when I insert into the laptop, nothing happens. XP does not recognize, the oo lights do not come on the map.
  First I thought it was a faulty card but I tried other cards and get the same results and I reinstalled XP and all the drivers but nothing.

  I've seen other messages on the change of the mode in the BIOS, but there is no mention of the CardBus in the BIOS.
  The laptop uses the BIOS version 1.9. I just want to check is there something escapes me or the CardBus location just does not work?

  Hello

  Satellite Pro A60 was equipped with the 32-bit and 16-bit PCMCIA slot that supports PCMCIA card * Type-II * only!

  Have you used the * PCMCIA Type-II card?

  Perhaps you have used is not compatible PCMCIA card, you should check this first!

• During BIOS update by Satellite Pro A60 went down and did not start

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite Pro A60 and I've updated the bios. To halfway the update, my laptop came down and started Hasna´t since. It only give a couple of beeps (trying to tell me the bios is damaged, I guess) and turns off again.

  Tried to start with (~) key pressed (a tip I received from a friend), but without success.

  I live in a country where there is no available Toshiba dealer and I rather not ship the laptop for repair.

  Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  This doesn't sound good.
  If during the POST, the BIOS detects a problem, it will normally display an error message visual on the monitor explaining what the problem is. However, if a problem is detected before it initializes BIOS video card or a video card is not present or not detected then BIOS will play through the Speaker beeps to let you know there is a problem.
  Depending on the type of BIOS you have the BIOS can play beeps in a specific pattern to indicate what the problem is, or emits the signal even a few times indicating the problem.

  In your case, it is possible to s you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS procedure. Both can damage the motherboard.
  To avoid such damage and mistakes, Toshiba published FAQ document.
  How to upgrade the BIOS on most of the units!

  That you should read before making updates to the BIOS!
  Unfortunately, I n t think that you can fix yourself. I think you should ask to help ASP.

• Satellite Pro A60: TV S-VHS on does not work

  I have a Satellite Pro a60 and I'm pulling out my S-VHS to function... This does not work very well.

  I connected all the cables right and right click on the desktop, again choose preferences, then on Preferences, but I can't find anything on the transmission of the video signal.

  I have not though as the configuration standard of Toshiba, but that shouldn't matter. I'm running WinXP SE, but the drivers for my card ATI is about two years old and I can not find a suitable one anywhere, this is the problem, or should I program utility ATI?

  Best regards!

  Hello

  You should also check the TV settings. You must choose the right channel.
  As in the previous announcement suggested, you can change the display device using the FN + F9 key combination.
  If you want to play the DVD with the WinDVD player for example if you first need to change the output of the TV and then start the WinDVD.

• Satellite Pro A60 does not

  When I start my Satellite Pro A60 I get the Toshiba screen, then it goes to a white screen and nothing else happens. I tried to remove the battery, disconnect it from the socket without success.

  I turned on the laptop and you press F12, but nothing happens, occasionally strange after the Toshiba screen, there will be a black screen with the words "Checking boot CD-rom" in the upper left corner and then nothing happens.

  Does anyone have any suggestions? If so could you please email me at [email protected]
  Thank you

  Hello

  Check please if the HARD drive is recognized correctly. Enter the BIOS settings and see if the HARD drive is listed there.

  You can also try to set the BIOS to the default settings and try using recovery media to see if the recovery procedure starts correctly (if the HARD drive is recognized properly).

• Satellite Pro A60 does not supply power to the top

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A60 and when I turn on the machine, the lights come on and the fan whirls for about 5 seconds and then the machine just turns off again.

  No matter if I have the battery or HARD drive in or not, the same phenomenon occurs.
  I guess it's problem of CPU or power supply Board, but I don't know.
  Is there anyone else who has had this problem and if so how is it resolved?

  Any help would be appreciated very with gratitude that I am out of warranty and need the laptop when you work from home.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I guess it can be a single processor or card mother related issue.
  If there is something wrong with the power supply for laptop card then the cell phone would not turn on, even for 5 sec.

  But it's only my personal suggestion to make sure what's exactly wrong check specifications should be necessary.

  So I think that a laptop computer technician should check it out.

  Good bye

  you see the Toshiba logo red when it starts or a screen empty?
  Toshiba logo: so you have a software failure, and you should backup your data and do a restore
  White screen: while there must be a problem with your hardware! Contact a Service partner and he will repair under warranty!
