• 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.

• Equium A60-199: question on the colors of the button power/powerlight

  I was wondering if someone could explain why the power button on my Equium A60-199 changed from its usual blue to a Pink/Purple mix, and also why usually green power light on the front of the laptop has changed to amber.

  Thank you.

  If the powerbutton is Pink/Purple and your amber powerlight, that means that your machine is in mode. This happens usually when the computer has been configured with a power that leaves your machine goes mode sleep after using only not in a period of time.

  Or you have vista and click on the button in the Startmenu which supposedly should stop the machine but rather switch to standby.

  That's all.

• Swapping screens: Equium A60-181 > Equium A60-199

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix a laptop Equium EA60-199 with a LCD of bust. (Just to save it from the landfill because it works fine also.)
  I found and bought an Equium screen on eBay (the whole "cover", not just the bit in the middle), which apparently came from a model of EA60-181.
  It looked pretty similar to mine and is also 15 "so I thought I'd be a chance and it was worth risking it.

  When I received it today I started taking the lid broke my 199 (off the keyboard and by unscrewing the hinges) - there are two points where the screen connects the main unit: a white rectangular plug caps on a Board and a separate black wire that connects to another point is close (what is Earth?).
  However, the replacement of 181 I've got, is there an extra couple of wires (one black and one white) coming out of the lower part of the screen of the hinge.
  Does anyone know what that here are to - probably they are included in the big white plug on the 199 and 181 screen would not work unless they were connected?

  I'm starting to think that maybe a better option is to take the LCD screen on the cover and exchange the most (using one of the howtos I found on the internet) as I assume the connections to this end are pretty standard. However, I'm not very experienced messing around inside computers for all the tips are welcome!
  Really nothing to lose the computer's been written off by its owner in any case - just thought it would be nice to rehabilitate if possible!

  Thanks a lot for your help.
  Tom

  HM, that only black and white cable sounds like a wireless antenna. To check if this is the case, you should check if on the end of this one thread an orange (or something like) a square is delivered which is then an antenna and should be all over the top of the lcd housing.

  If you're lucky, make a picture about it, place it somewhere on a free imagehoster and post the link here, then maybe I can tell you with certainty what could be exactly the wire.

  See you soon

• Equium A60-199 is not play or recognize any type of cd or dvd

  Hi all

  It's the first time I was in the unfortunate duty position post one problem-normally I can find a solution here and just fix it myself!
  I have an a60-199 on windows XP Home Edition. It is about 18 months and unfortunately out of warranty. The issue I'm having is that the cd rom drive (a carpet * s uj-830) is not play or recognize any type of cd or dvd. Finally, I used about a week ago and have tried resetting the system to forward, then nothing works.

  I also tried the suggestion of microsoft to change IDE transfer parameters, and that no longer works. When I put a disk in it turns three times and the light on the cd drive flashes, but he can't find anything, and I get the message ' d: / is not accessible. the request could not be performed because of an i/o error "I also websearched that but found nothing else than the suggestions above that has not worked."

  Is it possible that the link between the motherboard and cd rom to be broken yet light and spinning cd happen? I am completely confused and would like to have suggestions from anyone!

  Thanks in advance,
  Fyldelass.

  Hello

  Don't reset the system how you used recovery media to set to factory settings? If so, I think that there must be a hardware malfunction. The drive has power and I think that the problem is not connection but damaged drive.

  The drive is original and also compatible with this unit. The assignment of pins is just. Before trying anything, you can try to remove the disc and check the contacts. Maybe they should be cleaned. If nothing helps, I presume that the replacement should be performed.

• Equium A60 - 199: ITunes and Mat * a UJ - 830 s (error 4280)

  I can't burn CDs on my laptop. This has never before been a problem, but recently, no matter what type of burning software I use, I can't burn it to a cd. I am currently using ITunes version 6 and after the burning process starts my computer ejects the cd and I get error 4280.

  I read a few different posts on this on other forums that give suggests using different CD to re - install an older version of Itunes (I am currently using v6), but the most interesting seemed to come on the Hewlett-Packard support site. They suggest the cd configuration folder and edit the file gcdrtype.cfg. It was there is place for a certain type of desktop compaq presario pc and turns to advise to change a line in the story, save and reboot and voila. The problem should be solved. Since I own a Toshiba a60-199 finalis I wonder if anyone knows a fix/solution similar to the problem.

  I'm also intrigued by the following message which produces CD Itunes diagnostics when I run:

  IDE\DiskFUJITSU_MHT2040AT___00 22___, Type of ATA Bus, Bus address [0,0]
  IDE\CdRomMAT * A_DVD-RAM_UJ - 830S___1.50___, Type of ATA Bus, Bus address [0,0]
  If you have several drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these discs can interfere with each other.
  Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, visit the support for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

  It is the root of my problem? How can I get this update?

  If anyone can guide me in the right direction to solve my problem and return me to cd burning sky, I would be very grateful.

  Hello

  It is still very problematic if you use some, ion my opinion, the "exotic" software I noticed that most of the users on this forum use applications 'standards' as NERO burning ROM.

  If no one can give you an answer try to contact ITunes support and explain the situation. They have enough experience with own products. Also check if there is any FAQ page. Sorry, but I can't tell you anything that can help.

• Equium A60-173 stops without reason

  My laptop turns off suddenly, it comes to a complete stop, I thought it was the battery had blown or something so I bought a new.

  I put it on and it started working. Everything suddenly after an hour or two use it turns off again. Same thing happens again, just total shutdown, fresh does or anything like that.

  Can someone let me know what is the problem with him?
  See you soon

  In my opinion the laptop automatically stops because it is overheating!
  This is a common behavior if the temperature reaches the critical level.

  The laptop supports protection against overheating and this protection prevents the equipment from damage!

  I recommend that you check the modules of cooling for dust and debris, and if necessary to clean!
  You can do it by using a jet of compressed air!
  Those air sprays you can buy from every laptop or computer!
  Then clean the fans and check if this can help resolve this problem automatically shut downs!

• Equium A60-173: stops often

  Hey guys, I have a problem with my laptop, that he often cut only when something like a scan virus and when I start up again it reconise even that windows didn't close properly. I checked and it is not a problem with the power supply.
  So I was just wondering if it is a serious problem and if it can be fixed?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  Hi Jon

  On this path, it is not easy to give you 100% correct answer, but I presume that the unit overheating if the CPU usage is very high (such as the analysis of the HARD drive).

• Equium A60-155 has stopped charging the battery

  Hey all
  Can anyone help?

  For no apparent reason my A60 has stopped charging the battery, it works very well with the cord in but take out and matrices of the computer. Energy saving says that it does not load but defaults to full power with the power cord in. I tried to remove the battery for a while and change the power settings, but nothing helped. This happened to someone else? I have to buy a new battery?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  To me, this looks like a charging problem and it can be caused by power supply to electronic malfunction. Perhaps only the battery is dead. However the best solution is to contact the Toshiba service partner because he can start the diagnostic test and then give you an appropriate response.

• 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

• 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

  HTH
