Hey Jake,

Your A60 should be able to run continuously without overheating unless there is a problem with the air flow through the radiator CPU.

The only problems are likely to be a radiator clogged (easily resolved with a vacuum cleaner hose) or blocked the grilles of intake (fixed by placing the laptop in a suitable place (and not on a carpet or fabric upholstery and probably not on the knees if possible).

The unit you mentioned can be of any help in this last scenario because it can prevent the grilles of intake being accidentally blocked while the laptop is in use.

Personally, I don't see much advantage in the use of these devices, but they do no harm, so I guess the choice is yours. :)

Kind regards

  • Equium A60-155: replacement of the cooling fan

    which screws can I remove to access the cooling fan if you please. (Equium A60-155)

    Hello

    Unfortunately, don t find all documents on the fan to replace procedure, but in my opinion it should remove much of a screw covers.
    This procedure is not easy and if you don't have any experience you shouldn't t remove anything.
    By the way; If you remove the cover, you will lose the warranty.

    In this case, the best way is to contact Toshiba service in your country for assistance and more information.

  • Overheating on Equium A60-155

    Hi all

    I've owned an equium a60-155 for almost a year now, it has been discovered, but recently it began to close, which I suppose is overheating.

    the vents are clear and unblocked, although the area around the Equium logo (top right of the base unit) feels very warm after a closed random

    I use the machine for work and play and sometimes watching DVDs

    for about 2 weeks, ao that the machine started randomly turning its self, without warning, the machine sits on a table and the underside and rear passages are clear

    There is no virus/spy/software advertising on my machine and all programs are updated

    Anyone know of a cause or a solution to my problem?

    Thanks in advance

    Jake Houghton

    Hello

    Well, if there are cooling vents are free and not dirty, so I guess that the cooling fans are working properly. In this case, what you can do is to check the settings for standby power.
    Try changing the method of control of the CPU to Auto. Also, check if the cooling method is set for maximum performance.

  • 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.

  • Equium A60-155 will not start

    Hello

    I have an Equium a60-155, that I knew that she works for a while, but recently I came with a new poroblem... my laptop guard turn off without notice and loses all power.

    The battery has been dead for some time and lasts about 5 seconds, but I've been using the AC adapter.

    Recently, she stops and even the LED lights for the power/battery adapter / is not on.

    At first I thought it was the fuse in the adapter which could have been blown so I replaced it, and it started to work again, but then after a few minutes, it stops and lost all power.

    I had this during the last days and I noticed that it regains power when I unplug the power adapter from the mains supply and remove the fuse and put it back in but his lasts only for a few minutes.

    I don't know if it is a hardware problem or I just need a new adapter. Someone at - it similar problems and can offer any adivce?

    Hello!

    What do you think that the laptop is overheating? I don't know, but if so the laptop would also immediately turn off m.
    So, try to clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. So you don't have to disassemble the laptop.

    If it doesn't help it's really hard to say what the reason is for this maybe you should bring the laptop to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the laptop.

  • 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.

    I found the info that this laptop comes with several different hard drive capacities between 40 and 60 GB.
    So, theoretically, you can use any 2.5 with IDE connector up to 80 or even 120 GB.

    If anyone can help I would be very grateful.
    Thank you very much

    Hi mate

    You can use another motherboard to another satellite or Satellite A60.
    But the stronger CPU depends on the chipset located on your motherboard.
    You should first check the specifications of the chipset, and then you know what CPU would be compatible.

    But note; replacing the motherboard is delicate. I doubt you could do this without additional assistance of a technician. In addition the DMI and firmware must be updated after the replacement of the mobo. This is necessary because the CPU would stick with 600 Mhz if the microcode would not be updated. This can be done by a technician of ASP.

    That's why I donation to recommend t this is

  • Equium A60-155 - touchpad cable required

    Hi guys,.

    Recently, my mousepad on my laptop has stopped working. So I took it to a computer to check it out.
    He concluded that the cable that connects the mousepad on the motherboard had a small tear in there that cut through some of the metal strips.

    So I am buying a new internal cable of mousepad from somewhere but I can't find anywhere that sells it.
    MY warranty has run out and I do not get a response from technical support Toshiba (at least not yet).

    Anyone know where I can get the Toshiba Equium A60 - 155 Mousepad cable that connects the motherboard to the United Kingdom?

    Hello

    Generally, all Toshiba laptop parts could be bought of the ASP in your country.
    I think that guys would be able to order directly from Toshiba.

    If one of the local FSA does not, then try another service point.

    Here you can find the database with all of the ASP s worldwide:
