• Equium A60 - fan runs constantly

  Equium A60. 5 years old. For years, the fan is running constantly. Even in winter, and when little ongoing transformation.

  Help. Beginner language please.

  Hello

  After 5 years of use, I think that your laptop is full of dust. Dust blocks the flow of air and the laptop cannot be cooled correctly. Because of this cooling fan runs constantly and try to cool down the hardware components.

  In my opinion the first step you need to do is clean up your laptop. If you want to do this properly the laptop must be dismantled. I don't know if you can do it alone without manual maintenance, but if it must be done on the service business contact way and let them do it for you.

• 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.

• Equium A60-199 randomly shutting down - could it be overheating issue

  Hi, I am writing on behalf of a friend who knows his laptop A60 closing unexpectedlly... (she says that he stopped after a few minutes, or when she tried to open Firefox)

  Details of system
  Toshiba Equium A60-199 Model No.: PSA67E-00J00C8J
  18 GB free & 19 GB used
  512 MB OF RAM
  CPU Celeron 2.93GH

  Running Windows XP Home
  NIS 2006

  I took a look at distance and was about 30 minutes without any problem using FF logmeinitreach... There was nothing showing in the event log manager, for the time of day, that it would close down all before... so I was wondering if it is a faulty power supply?

  Everythng is going on well just clicked on the analysis of complete system of Norton Internet security which has not been run in a long time and the PC, stop NOW, it will not restart everything. ??

  Apparently she can hear some buzzing but nothing happens... (which I think might well be the blow fan)

  Advised her to let a little and about 2 hours later, she was able to turn it back on... I wonder if it could be overheating. ??

  Apparently he is 3/4 months than what was going on then ceased to happen and started again...

  Please can you give me some advice on how to clean it - other than to take it to a hardware shop

  I downloaded the A60 user manual and have themselves asked to confirm what show the lights - in an attempt to check overheating
  is the question...

  I've also read online "you can spray compressed air into the gills of admission but not airflow vents to help get rid of the dust and debris." I have looked at the manual and can see 2 lots of mouths... It is on the side and the other on the bottom, is e eintake the one on the side? I literally direct the air on side air intakes and the spray?

  When you ask him if she knows that when the fan is always, sometimes on, never an etc. she was thinking ot is ALWAYS on... who'd show up again overheating...

  Please notify

  Hello Cathy

  I also believe that the sudden stops are the result of overheating. If the dust is blocking cooling air flow grill is blocked and material can reach the critical temperature of material very fast. Sometimes you can start any application pre-installed, the CPU usage goes to the next level and laptop will suddenly stop.

  The laptop should be cleaned as soon as possible. If you have no experience with the disassembly procedure I recommend you contact the closest service and the laptop must be cleaned on professional way. It costs a little bit, but you can be sure that you use Notepad for a longer period of time.

  If you need the addresses and phone numbers to contact the ASP (authorized service provider) please visit http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  Bye and good luck!

• Equium A60-692: sudden failure

  I have an equium A60-692, a little more than 9 months. For the past few weeks the computer just turned off while I'm working, especially watching a dvd. I removed the battery and restarted and worked normally. Is something wrong with the battery or the computer uses not common but the passage to the battery?

  Any help would be appreciated.
  David.

  HI David,

  There are two possible reasons for your problem,

  1: the laptop may be overheating leading to the power off. Normally, it is clearly the fan increased before the laptop closed.

  If this is the case try any dust/debris from your cooling fans with a compensation vacuum hose.

  2: your power system could suffer an intermittent contact of your power connector on your laptop, which causes the phone switch to battery power, even if the power supply is connected. Usually, this will require a power-stop/restart to restore normal operation. If this is the case, you will notice the low battery alarm.

  At 9 months, it is likely that dust/debris is your culprit so I would check that first.

  If you suspect your power connector then you should always be covered by your warranty even if you have to convince your repairman is not due to 'normal' wear

• Equium A60: graphics issues and more

  Ive had so many probs with tis equium a60. It was overheating, stand by was not working and now the graffics were spoil! I rang this place recommended pcworld n they said try to format (large). anyway I restored it to factory settings while he was exactly as it was when I got it. stand is now working properly :) but it still is overheating (I mean really, it becomes it hot) and the graffics are always spoil.
  What happens is the screen freezes for a few seconds, then he goes the worst possible of display settings, so everything is massive and the colors are all wrong. and a pop up in windows as a encountered an error please reboot.
  This happens only at random times, I do not understand why ive formatted. I don't know if the card graffics itself is exhausted. any help or ideas appreciated. see you soon

  Hi Dave,.

  I think he should assume that your problems stem from overheating. It is very common for the dust and debris to form and block the passage of air through the CPU cooler. I suggest trying to remove such an accumulation or blowing into the heatsink (towards the cooling fans), or by sucking debris with a household vacuum. If all else fails, then you can remove the heat sink and the dust before replaceing it. Beware that this may invalidate your warranty.

  Normally a thermal trigger remove power if it detects the CPU heat too, but this does not mean that other problems cannot occur.

  If you still have problems with you appear after you have addressed the issue of overheating then please post again.

• Equium A60-155: ATi Mobility graphics card problem

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium A60, recently I am getting error informing messages than the "display driver ATi2mtag has stopped working properly.
  I have reset my machine as told to do the error dialog box. Reset works fine, but the laptop crashes to the desktop, when turned off and on again once I get the Safe Mode screen.

  I reinstalled the driver for the graphics card several times, and the error persists through safe mode. The returned error and trying to open in safe mode, the machine flashed a blue screen of death, too fast for me to read, even applied for each of the available options. I was unable to cross this safe mode selection screen.

  As a last resort that I reformatted my laptop, using the Toshiba CD recover but the error persists, with regular driver display and the actual machine crashed.

  Since the reformat, I reinstalled the display drivers, and the problem persists.

  I downloaded the drivers from this site and the problem is still there

  You know a possible fix or solution to this problem? I am a competent enough and user of computer knowledge, so do not be afraid of getting technical in your response.

  Thank you

  Jake Houghton

  Hello

  This problem occur immediately after the operating system starts or after several usage time?
  If this issue occurs after a several time of use, so it could be an overheating problem.
  In this case, you should check the cooling modules. Check if the fans are working properly.
  Try to clean it with the vacuum cleaner.

  If this doesn t solve the problem if you maybe there is something wrong with the graphics card and you will need to contact Toshiba service for assistance.

• Equium A60-173 PSA67E does not start

  I don't have a model Equium: Equium A60-173 (PSA67E-00700C8J) that will not start.

  It tries to start hard drive turns, the fan starts, the dvd drive light flashes, the hard disk light flashes and then he died.

  Battery life is very good, charger/power supply is fine.
  Lights on the front shows the unit is on and the battery is being charged, they all light green.

  I removed everything, left power and removed the battery for an hour, but it still will power not on.

  Any ideas?

  It looks like a faulty motherboard, but it is not easy to say.

  You have already removed the battery and the AC adapter and waited upward at the time, so you have to go to an ASP and ask a technician for help. They can check your laptop and exchanging parts.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search an ASP:

• Equium A60 has recently started to overheat

  My Equium A60 has recently begun more heating really bad. It's at the stage where I can not install windows XP on it without him turning off during the installation of precession.

  Anyone know what could cause it to fire so quickly?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Especially the laptop overheats because the cooling module doesn t cool unique pieces in the right way.
  Fans do not twist full implementation because of the dust and debris inside the laptop.
  After a long time working, it s advisable to clean the cooling modules.

  How?
  Well, the simplest method is a use of the vacuum cleaner. But be careful

  If it helps the laptop must be checked by a technician.
  The technician can renew the thermal paste between the CPU and the cooling module.
  Important to take heat from the CPU thermal paste.

  Last but not least do not forget that there is enough free space around the laptop.
  The free space is important for air circulation correctly

• 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.

  Good bye

• Equium A60 does not restart

  Hello

  My Equium A60 which I had since almost two years earlier this week crashed and does not restart. I met previous problems of slowness and the computer laptop closing (which I believe was down to heat), but it's much more serious.

  All that happens when I pass on is a black screen is displayed, as if the monitor does not work, and then after a few minutes it turns off, there is nothing really to go. Is there anyway I can record what's on my hard drive or who lost? Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  You can try to connect the HARD drive to another laptop or desktop as an external device using the USB HDD box. The disc HARD should be recognized automatically and you can copy all of your files.

  Of course, this is possible if the HARD drive is not defective. I did several times with my old Satellite 1900 HDD. No problem at all.

  On your device, I can tell you just follow: after pressing the power button / stop if there is no activity (HDD led, display, the cooling fan noise) I guess the unit must be controlled by the service.

• Updating BIOS on Equium A60 to cause the BSOD?

  Hey,.
  I had my Equium A60 for a little less than 2 years and now it has started flasihing a blue screen when it works for a while, I tried to read what he says but it's too fast and then it restarts the computer! the only things I can do out there are BIOS of letters that I've now put together probably need an updated (or so I hope this is just the problem)...

  given that I've never updated the BIOS until I was wondering if I make a mistake it will cover on my extended warranty? I think I also insurance on it could someone help please?

  Hello

  This document explains how to disable the automatic restart of Windows XP after a system failure:
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5B01770000R01.htm

  If you turn off it does not restart the laptop and you can read the error message.
  But I think that this message is not really a help. You will get a memory address, and a common user is not able to read this BSOD.

  The BSOD appears especially because of the misconduct of software or a hardware malfunction.
  I put t think that BIOS update will help you with this problem.
  I think you should try to reinstall the operating system. Especially the new facility allows to solve software problems

  But probably the high temperature may also be responsible for these BSOD errors.
  In this case you should check the fans. Most dust and debris would be responsible for the high temperature because fans may not turn with a maximum return.

  If you have no experience a technician must clean the notebook professionally.

• Equium A60 stops automatically after 10 min

  My laptop TOSHIBA Equium A60, after 10 minutes of work it disconnects because it seems to become very hot, even if the fan is working?

  How can I solve this problem

  Hey Osama,

  This looks like a classic case of overheating caused by an accumulation of dust and debris in the vents of execution was cooling. I suggest that you try to use a hose of vacuum cleaner against the bars of suction air on the bottom of your laptop to extract dust and debris.

  Make sure also that the laptop is not used in an environment where there is insufficient air, pass through the cooling system.

  Kind regards

• 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.

• Equium A60 do not start

  Hello

  My Equium A60 primer not. Once the power is on, the Toshiba screen after, nothing else happens. The screen shows that the light is on but nothing is displayed. Fans are working and go to market and stop at intervals.

  During the boot and hold down the F8 key, I tried to load safe mode, but the machine stopped by what follows the on-screen...

  multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\system 32\ntoskrnl.exe
  multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\system 32\hal.dll

  multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\system 32\BOOTVID.dll
  multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\system 32\config\system

  Anyone has any ideas on where to find a solution to this. Is it software or hardware releated etc.

  Thanks much for any help.

  Hello!

  In my view, this could be a problem with the drive HARD or Windows.

  First of all, I would like to check the HARD disk:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  If the HARD drive has no error I would reinstall Windows with the recovery because you disk as no access in safe mode.

  Good bye
