• Problem loading on Equium A60-157

  I have an Equium A60 who until recently worked perfectly. The battery was empty until it stops. Now the battery will not charge when the AC lead is plugged in. Amber led on front stays THERE no matter how long he remains connected.

  The indicator of battery level in the Control Panel, power options, tab said power meter battery is at 0%, critical and in charge, but does not load. I tried to charge it for more than 24 hours with laptop on and even turned off but nothing. I can't understand what causes this problem.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  It s very strange however.
  I see only two possibilities of malfunction.
  The battery is dead and you need a new or motherboard failure there.
  But in my opinion it s battery failure

  Check if the new battery will solve your problem of load.

• Equium A60-157: lines on the start screen

  Hi, I have a problem with my Equium A60-157.
  When the machine starts and get you the LOGO LOGO & P4 TOSHIBA lines running down the screen there is a fault or a common thing with Toshiba?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I don t think that these lines are a common thing on Toshiba laptops.
  This problem occurs after full load of Windows?
  Have you seen these lines on other applications?

• 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 A60-155: 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

  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.

• 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.

• Problems with the graphics to Equium A60 driver

  Hello everyone,

  First sorry for my bad English.

  I have some problems with my graphics card driver. After a new installation, I wanted to just install the driver for the ATI Radeon 7000 (I have an Equium A60), after that, I noticed that my pc was down. The problem was because the driver, I'm sure, because after a fresh install, without the drive VGA, my laptop works, somehow... I mean, I don't know it might work if the graphics would have a clean driver better.

  I searched on the web and saw that it was not a new problem; many people have the same problem with it. Somehow, the driver of the computer is not compatible.
  Could someone help me find a solution to my problem?
  Thank you very much

  Eurytheus

  Sorry my friend, but your ad looks really amazing. Driver Toshiba of origin is not compatible with the hardware. It cannot be. It cannot be the truth!

  Your model of laptop is almost 4 years and I assume that Toshiba had enough time to react if the display driver is somewhat problematic. I recommend you to backup all your data and try to install your laptop using original recovery image. If there is no hardware problem notebook should work again well.

  Sorry, but I don't see another solution because the pilot is certainly tested and it should work.

• Equium A60-157, problem after update BIOS 1.90

  Hi all!

  I've had my Toshiba Equium A60-157 for two months. I've updated the my bios twice. First of 1.70 to 1.8 C and from 1.8 to the current 1.90 (common at the time I made this post).

  I noticed that as soon as I used my recovery DVDs to restore the laptop to the default constructor, I had a problem with the main user account that is normally created after the completion of the recovery strategy.

  Whenever Windows would open a session after the recovery account generated, a popup would display a message similar to the following:

  "Windows can not load the profile and connects you with a temporary profile." No changes will be saved. "

  He also said that this problem was maybe due to incorrect permissions, or something like that. The pop-up window also contained a 30-second countdown before opening in windows with the temporary profile. As indicated by the pop-message no changes would be recorded. I could even change my user account image.

  I ran it again the DVD of recovery only to get the same problem. This NEVER happened when I ran on the original bios 1.70, bios recovery DVD AND 1.8 c.

  Anyway I came up with a solution to this problem, which only caused me no problem at the present time.

  I just logged into Windows mode without failure, entered the account administrator, created a new account and deleted the account of departure (created at the end of the recovery program).

  So far, the user account-wise, everything back to normal.

  If the recovery strategy or the bios did not cause this problem, I would be grateful if someone could give me some possibilities of doing just that.

  I don't want to get updates of bios from 5-10 down the road, only to find out that my recovery DVD does not work.

  Fact the DVD should be updated as well as the recovery bios?

  Thanks for your time.

  Hi, Conrad

  Can you please tell me why you do the updates to the BIOS? Have you had any problems? I use my unit for close to two years and I didn t make any BIOS update so far. If everything works well, it is not necessary to do an update with the exception of some Microsoft updates that make the OS more secure. Don t do any update if it is not necessary.

  In any case, I am very confused with your question. Normally, Recovery DVD should not be updated. The BIOS updates are useful if there is a hardware conflict or a problem and not a problem using the operating system or any software.

  It will be interesting to know why you're doing the recovery procedure each time after BIOS update.

• Equium A60: USB Hub problems

  I have an Equium A60 and that you just bought a USB 2.0 with 4 ports hub, but it is not recognized when plugged into one of the usb ports
  It causes also the PC hang on shutdown and startup
  Hass someone at - it had similar problems

  Hello

  As far as I know for some USB hubs, it is necessary to install a software that can help to use correctly. Some of them are plug and play devices and there is no need to install any additional software.

  I use Satellite 1900 and also have USB hub and it works correctly. In my case, it was necessary to install the driver before the hub is connected. A demon of the mine has Belkin hub and in his case, the driver has been installed after that the laptop has recognized a new hardware component.

  All this is based on the producer of hub. I hope you have some instructions how to connect the hub to the laptop on the right feel.

• Equium A60: CD and DVD reading problem

  I have a laptop that uses a carpet Equium A60 * a UJ-811 t dvd/cd-rw. For some reason any all of a sudden when I play a music CD or a DVD it jumps slightly. On audio, it's like a constant ripple, and the video jumps a few images every few seconds. Don't have an idea why its doing so. Any help appreciated. see you soon

  Hello

  He s strange. It s easy to tell why it occurs. For me, it looks like a constantly driving rotation. You have other problems to drive with no media music or a movie?
  Other possibilities that you can see are the properties of the drive.
  Please see the properties of the drive. You will find a hardware tab. Please select here your player and press the properties button. In the Properties tab, please check if digital playback is enabled. You should also try to disable this option and check if this problem occurs again.

• Graphic 3D MathCad for Equium A60 problem

  Hello Marina.

If the problem of images fixed the same, so you should contact the manufacturers of MathCAD. Maybe they got patches. I found this site: http://www.mathsoft.com/services/technical_support/

• Equium A60 - problems of severe graphics

  I own a ' Equium A60-156 532 P4 / XP HE/256 MB / 40 GB/15TFT/DVD SuperMulti ' which I've updated with 512 MB of ram, so now it has 640 MB of Ram for system with 128 MB for graphics.

  My problem is, even if it meets the requirements of apparent minimum configuration for various games (such as "Fable: The Lost Chapters"), it does not correctly display in the game. The grass is white, yellow water, unreadable text, etc etc...

  I don't like the graphs such as shading and ripples in the water, I just like it so my laptop actually displays the right colors during a game!

  I tried the latest driver from the Web from Toshiba, the Windows Update site AND even sought the drivers on the ATI site with no luck.

  My laptop is doomed to be the trash and not play games or is there soemthing I can do?

  Hey Joe,

  Unfortunately drivers grpahics for your laptop has been deliberately out of engineering to prevent the graphics chip to produce too much heat.

  As you probably know, the graphics chip is integrated on your motherboard in order to reduce the space and there is no separate cooling. Graphics drivers are tailored to remove those aspects of the functionality of the chip which would tend to produce too much heat.

  It is generally true that the latest games tend to use features that were omitted in the drivers from your laptop.

  Unfortunately, there are no eassy solution to this problem as pilots of the last chip manufacturer won't load properly on your laptop without changing.

  I suggest that you try the latest drivers for your graphics chip of http://www.omegadrivers.net/, but beware your graphics chip to overheat as this can cause the pertubation requiring a new mainboard.

  Kind regards
