Random beep (1-2 sec) on the Satellite M60-182

Hello

Since I bought Satellite M60-182, I have a problem with a single long beep (1-2 sec) I hear from time to time. If I don't watch any divX movie to HARD drive beeps, but if I swith to any program or game I hear this annoying soung from time to time - a few times often (every 2-3 minutes) and one some time in the range of 10-15 min.
never steady.

This I hear however I cut his power.
Is it possible that it's HDD, or do I have to pay attention to something else?

Thank you in advance!

Hello

Strange noise. I read somewhere on a similar problem and the user suggested that this noise is coming from the HARD drive.
We hope not, but maybe you will get a HARD disk head crash in the future.
I recommend doing a backup of your important files daily.

You can also try to test the new HARD drive and verify that the strange noise appears.

    AX.

    Hi Axel

    My theory is that there may be some problem with button / stop himself (white metal under the button), or perhaps with several Planar cable wire.

    Also, for me it is definitely hardware problem. If you want, you can contact the partner of service allowed in your country and see what they have to say about it.

  • The satellite M60 display problems

    Hello

    I bought a satellite M60 a month ago, and since then, I've been strugling trying to solve a problem that has to do with the display (ATI 700 X mobility).
    When I play some games (the dawn of war, Unreal tournament...) the computer freezes completely, I actually have to force stop it to restart.
    Another problem, that I have seen is with Mixmeister Pro 6, the video playback is erratic, it is as if the computer is unable to handle any overload.

    I tried the upgrade of drivers, nothing works, then I installed the third party Omega drivers, but once again, nothing to do.

    Since the purchase of the M60, I had to correct problems of Wirless and PCMCIA card through driver updates, but there is nothing that I'm be able to do to resolve this display problem.

    I am quite convinced it's a driver issue, but then again, nothing is certain.

    If anyone can help me please I'm getting desperate.

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say why it happens but one of my friends has sometimes even appearance but on another unit. If he plays a high-performance games unity cling.
    In my view, this could be a heating problem. Playing games is hard work for the laptop, because all parts (bars of memory, processor, graphics card, etc.) work with max performance and produce a lot of heat. Most laptops are not developed for this.

    However, you should always use the graphics driver from Toshiba. I found the latest version of 15/07/05. It is a display 8.121.050.322A driver. In addition, you must install latest DirectX. I think that it s a 9.1. Check whether the fixes for these games are available.

    Second, if video playback is erratic, it seems that the OS is fully committed.
    In this case, you should check the processes that run in the background of the operating system.
    In addition, try to defragment the HARD disk

    Good bye

  • Annoying click every 20 sec on the Satellite Pro

    I'm a regular clatter aprox every 20 seconds from the right rear of my satellite pro, any ideas

    Hello

    I would say that this s a HARD drive. What do you think?
    On my laptop similar clicks appears when the head of HARD drive is trying to read files and data.

    How old is the HARD drive? Maybe it's time to change it? On my second notebook HARD drive died after 4years of use. So be careful and do a backup of your data.

  • Update disk on the Satellite M60-139

    Hello Forum friends and once again greetings from Cologne/Germany.

    Can anyone tell me what size I can switch the disk hard 80 GB of my M60-139 origin? I think it would be nice to have more space but I have heard that not every hard drive works with this model and its BIOS?

    So did someone has changed the internal hard drive--that model, what size and what service... partition? Any manual how to change?

    Concerning
    Friedel

    Hello

    In my opinion, you can use the 100 GB HDD, maybe also a 120 GB but I m not 100% sure of this size of HARD drive.
    Try it simply.
    It is important that the HARD drive will support the enhanced IDE ATA-6 interface and the 5400 RPM disk rotation.

  • High-capacity-battery for Satellite M60-139

    Hello!

    I find the battery 12 cell high capacity-, who announced in the advertisement of the Satellite M60 - 139.

    Anyone has more information or can tell me the product name/number?

    Thanks for your help!

    I tried to check if there is a battery high capacity available for your device but I didn t find any information about it. I guess that there is no such battery available for this model of laptop.

  • Sims2 does not start on my satellite m60-167

    anyone has an idea why the sims2 does not work on my laptop? This shows only the logo and claims "sims2 noticed a problem and has to be finished."
    Why? There is no clonecd installed etc....
    everything seems to be on the new standard on my laptop. What is going on?
    Thank you very much for the help.

    Hello Petra

    It is very strange because the Satellite M60 has a very powerful graphics card. As you know on this path, it is not easy to give a precise answer. Sims2 is known to me, but I've never tried.

    Usually some games detect a problem with the performance of the graphics card, but the error message which mentioned is unfortunately not accurate. Thank you for visiting the SIMS2 support page. Toshiba doesn't support game problems and you have more chance to get some tips on the SIMS2 support page.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite M60-132 - USB stops working until you restart

    My problem looks like this:

    All USB ports die after a few minutes (time may vary, but is shortened recently) after the start. They give no error - the USB mouse stops responding, the USB drive gives stops giving "delayed write failure" or sth like that. They are all visible and OK in device (Windows XP) Manager, no problem not being reported here. They have just stop working. I tried to reinstall Windows. It is not dependent on the OS actually. For example, I can boot from a live CD of SuSe Linux and ports will also die after a few minutes - they do on any OS tested.

    Now, I have discovered (GOOGLE usb ports stops working until the reboot) that several Satellite M60 users report this problem with their old cell phones. Exactly the same thing - ports die after a certain time of start and remain that way until you restart. In one case the user writes that he bought a cardbus PCMCIA USB controller and the problem continues - the ports of the controller when dying as well as embedded.

    My idea is to try even when the PCMCIA - maybe it will work in my case (another chip etc - you have never know). And anothr one must try to connect a USB hub to the Firewire port available. There are USB to Firewire Converter cards - could work like that?

    Anyone know any solution to my problem or have an opinion on my ideas? I am looking to buy a new laptop, which I can't really afford right now...

    Hello

    To be honest I've ever read on these problems on the Satellite M60, but it can happen from time to time, because it of also a fairly old laptop.

    My friend also uses a PCMCIA card that has USB ports on his old notebook. He is quite satisfied with this solution because it don t need to each time the USB ports. Just sometimes if he's copying files on USB.
    These cards are cheap, you can get it for a few s Euro and you can buy this card where you want, for example Amazon.co.uk.

    I never heard firewire to USB ports, which is new to me and I n t have experience with this.

  • Satellite M60-135: no function Sound Mixer level controls to "CD player".

    Hallo,

    On my Satellite M60-135 (Toshiba original Setup) Windows XP Sound Mixer shows a slider of level setting for the drive but it doesn t work.
    I can drag the level control or may mark the mute control for CD player, but it has no effect.

    I tried to disable digital playback in the device driver for the DVD-RAM device but it doesn't change anything on the level control.

    Is this a general problem of the Satellite M60, is a specific defect of my M60 or can it be fixed by updating all the drivers?

    Thank you for any suspicion.

    Wolfgang Nohl

    Hello, Wolfgang

    Believe me that this is not a problem or any kind of fault. As you know CD players used on desktop computers have audio out port. This level control Configurator will be used just for them. Portable CD or DVD player has this audio separated on the port and that this option cannot be used. The same situation is on my Tecra M1.

    In addition, it is a tool of Microsoft and Toshiba has no influence on it. As you know there is no OS designed only for laptops and this option is that it can not be used.

    Good luck and have lots of fun with your M60. It's a great unit!

  • Satellite M60 question - does not detect router BTvoyager2100

    Hello

    I have the Satellite M60 I bought in france. The problem I encounter is that it is picking up every local router broadband (4 of them to date) with the exception of my BTvoyager2100 router.

    I have a portable ibm English who picks up and uses the router bt with no problems.
    I used the xp wireless search engine and the radar of toshiba, but it does not find my router.
    does anyone have an idea what the problem is.

    Hello

    The Satellite M60 I bought in Germany has not built in Bluetooth device.
    The Bluetooth drivers are installed in any case, it's very confusing. I was looking on the same problem you do and finally found information that says:
    Computers laptop Toshiba with built in Bluetooth devices have a label at the bottom of the laptop with the Bluetooth brand label on it.
    On my M60 is no such label.
    So I think that the M60 was not built in a Bluetooth device.
    In addition:
    Bluetooth is not listed in the technical specifications of the M60.
