• Issues with my Equium A60-192

  I've had my Toshiba for over 2 years,

  Here is a list of my problems and there are so so many might save some time would be great!

  1 overheating - I sent to PC Mastercare 3 times and all they do is clean the fan and the heat sink. As many people have said about the thermal paste I think it is a problem that requires urgent attention.
  Although the problem is, when I recover the computer is fine for about 6 months and then it starts again!

  2. the recovery disc. Being an Amature-semi-professional Windows understanding, there are a few directories that do NOT, for example delete microsoft frontpage (Attention to the record all lowercase) I think that there is some kind of hidden virus that is at fault. Although it is a recovery disk, you wonder if this is something you should look at. However, this isn't a nice feeling to know that you can not delete a single file (which does nothing)

  3. as many people have said about Windows just suddening not allowing start because some files are not present! This is yesterday for me, and with a little persistence, I managed to back up all my files and retrieved using the doubtful recovery disk.

  And the final point!

  4. the computer does not seem to lose a huge amount of processing power, even if it is a 2.5 Ghz! I wonder if I need to add more RAM or there is an underlying problem. I just picked up the computer and it works fine!

  If you could point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

  PS my laptop was a series of laptop that were shipped with the wrong BIOS. I've updated, but I wonder if it exceeds the BIOS that is defective!

  Bravo guys! (and girls)

  HI Chris,

  Sorry to hear about your problems, but here are some tips to get on with: -.

  1. overheating. It is a very common on laptops problem and if your search these forums you'll see discussed many times. The general rule is to ensure that dust and debris is reduced to a minimum in the radiator of CPU. Given that the cooling air is always being drawn in through the gills of contribution of background, it is obvious that dust accumulates. I clean my SA30 using hose of a vacuum cleaner to fear that once a month and that let it run fine without any problem of overheating. You'd be amazed how much dust crosses a few months.

  2 recovery discs. It is very unlikely that you have a virus "hidden". The recovery disks typically contain an image "Ghost" of a default operating system will contain some surprising elements. The 'frontpage' file is one of these elements. It is part of the base build XP but is not filled if will show just like an empty folder (usually contains a "version" file, which is also empty. It is normal.

  3 Windows starts do not. In general, if Windows has this kind of problem there are two culprits, either a rogue application (or virus) has damaged or written too part of the OS or the hard drive has experienced some kind of problem (impact or vibration for example). I've had just that kind of behavior with my own laptop and it generally preceded by a hard disk failure. I suggest that you run CHKDSK on the drive to check for bad sectors.

  4. the current treatment. When the unit is newly installed from media of recovery it will work generally quite well, but you use the portable computer the contents of the disc will become more fragmented especially if you add other applications, or do a lot of browsing on the internet. I would recommend that you regularly run utilities cleaning/Desk (at least once a week) Disk Defragmenter to keep things smooth. I recommend also to download and install the malicious utilities (such as Lavasoft Adaware, Spybot and Windows Defender from Microsoft). Run those weeklies as well to make sure that the bad guys are not allowed to infect your system. Extra RAM will also help, but the benefits will be seen most noticeably if you are running heavy applications (such as games or video editors) or if you open several applications at the same time.

  Hope the above is helpful.

• Drive recovery for Equium A60-157 PSA67E

  Has anyone got a copy of the disc recovery issued with an equium A60-157 PSA67E as I am trying to get this laptop for work and unable to get its hotkeys control and be able to work.

  I think I've worn out my wellcome with Equium forum and technical appeal but it's somewhere I myself lack of understanding on this subject.

  I loaded all recent downloads listed on their site, but always impossible to get these functions to work.

  So can you help me please...

  David

  Hello

  Why you n t install a new Windows OS on this laptop?
  Missing drivers can be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
  All drivers are available!

  The recovery disc can be ordered for this model of laptop because it s too old.
  Clean install OS Win + drivers is therefore the only option

• Equium A60 issue of the wireless USB mouse

  I bought 3 optical mouse for my equium A60. The first 2 have worked for a short period, but then appeared to be very erratic, beating on the entire screen and the slightest touch. I just bought a third and spend money on it to combat this problem, but it's always like it. It's a belkin wireless optical mouse. The connection is USB and I have no driver to install. It flies just all over the screen completely uncontrollable. Please can someone help.

  Hello

  Have you checked the pointer options in the properties of the mouse?
  In my opinion, you should try changing the query options to slow down the pointer options.
  In addition, improve it the accuracy of the pointer must be marked.

  Good bye

• Equium A60 - no wireless network connection

  Hello world

  I have had a good look through the forums and can't find anything related to this but my apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere :-)

  I set up a wireless home network with a Windows XP desktop computer with a router and a laptop old Win98, WinXP SP2, which I can't connect and an Equium A60. I installed two different network on the A60 USB adapters, seems to be okay with all of them except that there is no "wireless network connection" listed under network connections Control Panel. Both cards work fine on two other machines, so there must be a problem with the A60. I installed an adapter and then uninstalled before trying another.

  Under control-> connections Panel Network, I can see an old broadband connection and the connection to the Local network (which is allowing me to connect to the router via Ethernet, so that the router will work), but the wireless network connection icon is not there. The driver for the USB adapter makes its appearance in Device Manager and is reported as working properly, but if it worked correctly then (I think) a wireless connection icon should appear - it happened with my other WinXP desktop.

  Any ideas of what could be the cause?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I guess that the external WLan USB stick has been recognized one installed correctly. You said it appears in Device Manager. Are you sure that the WLAN USB key has been recognized to 101%? !!

  If the WLAN USB key is recognized correctly, check the properties of this stick. (I think you should right click and then click on properties).

  But if the stick was not recognized, you must verify the properties of the single USB ports and power safe mode.
  Choose the USB single root hubs in device, right click, properties, tab power management Manager and disable the option called allow the computer to turn off the device to save energy.

  So maybe it helps

• 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 - no wireless but I don't want to use WLan connection

  Hello

  I just bought a laptop Equium A60 without the installed adapter Atheros AR5001 wireless card.
  Do I need to buy this type of card adapter to run wireless or are there other models Atheros card I can use or would it be better to buy a usb wireless adapter.

  Thank you juan

  Hello

  You can purchase a USB WiFi key.
  These sticks are cheap and easy to use!

  If your Wlan router would support WLan 802. 11 B/G or N then I recommend buying a USB WLan stick that favourable two WiFi G and N standards
  802.11 N standard is the most recent and you would get the fastest connection using 802.11 N.

  But like I said; It depends on your WLan router

  Each portable computer shipped with the wireless card has a sticker on the underside. Please check to make sure if the card is on the Board of Directors. You can also open the Device Manager and check the entries under NETWORK CARDS.

• Equium A60 - 157 HELP Card/PCMCIA wireless network!

  Hi all!

  This problem has been frustrating me for at least 2 months.

  OK, I recently bought a Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card (wifi card).
  The first time I installed the wifi card it worked perfectly. I powered
  extinguish your laptop (after I had finished working on it). The next day
  When I turned the laptop on, you guessed it, the wifi card was not
  work. I did not remove the wifi card for the power off/power on stage.

  When I went into Device Manager, a yellow exclamation point was
  above the wifi card. When I looked at the properties of wifi cards, I found the
  following message appears:

  This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
  If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
  Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

  I tried unistalling and reinstalling the wifi card. I tried to use the latest Belkin drivers for the wifi card. Sometimes it works, but when I have the power turned off/turned on the laptop it s not go.

  One of the ways I got the card to operate was removing and inserting the card several times
  until he finds resources and finally worked. I put t use this method as, obviously, I might damage the cardbus slot and the card. In the meantime I ve been using a Belkin Wireless G USB network adapter. I had no problems with the USB adapter, but I prefer to use the wifi card. This is because the majority of the wifi card is housed inside the laptop, so it s not easily evicted. The USB adapter is great for wireless networks inside, but too risky for roaming outside.

  I had this problem of 1.70 at 1.8 ° C bios version, and I still have it with revision 1.90. I intend to return m wifi card in the store for an Exchange, but I have a really bad feeling that the same thing will happen with the replacement of the card. I m not convinced that the current wifi card is defective, because it works perfectly when he gets the resources.

  I tried to manually configure resources on the devices, but I have a major problem. Windows seems to be LOCKED in the automatic settings. The automatic settings check box is grayed out completely, it is impossible for me clear the checkbox. I did not take anything in the bios that can help me solve this problem.

  I noticed that there are many devices running off IRQ (interrupt requests) 19, when you view resources by type in Device Manager. These devices are:

  Standard enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
  USB host controller standard OpenHCD x 2 (two entries)
  Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
  Controller CardBus Texas Instrumetns PCI-1410

  When the wireless card works she also runs IRQ 19, but as I said before Windows is locked in the automatic settings and do not manually configure the hardware resources.

  Equium A60-157 is not provided on board, but it has the potential for. WiFi L.e.d. on the front panel, physical location for wifi turn on side panel wireless icon and F8. Someone know if Toshiba offer an upgrade service, or can I install wifi on board myself?

  ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE QUESTIONS!
  Thanks for your time!

  Hello

  I found this for you:

  Both devices have received a same ports of entry/exit (e/s), the same interrupt, or the same Direct memory access channel (whether through BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of both). This error message may also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device (for example, if a (USB) universal serial bus controller does not get a break in the BIOS because of a damaged MPS (Multiprocessor) system table).
  You can use Device Manager to determine where the conflict is and turn off the device in conflict. On the tab General properties of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard.
  Try disabling the features of conflict. It will be interesting to know if the problem will occur again.

  In my opinion, you should contact the Service partner and ask them if the unit is ready for the Wi - Fi module. Sorry, but I'm not sure about that and I don't want to give you a bad information about it.

• Unable to connect to a wireless network - "the network card know driver or hardware related issues.

  Can someone help with the following problem please?

  I'm unable to connect to the wireless network.

  I have an Acer Aspire 5315 with an Atheros AR5007EG wireless adapter. This shows that "working properly" in the Device Manager. I tried to re - install the drivers for it constantly. They seem to everyone install ok but I still have the problem.

  The symptoms are...

  (1) if I try to set up a wireless connection, I get "unexpected error occurred". There is no useful looking for messages in the event viewer.

  (2) if I use "Diagnose and repair" I get "knows the network adapter driver or hardware related issues.

  I uninstalled everything which I think could be the cause of conflicts. I scanned for malware. I have run chkdsk and sfc. I have all the updates from Windows Update. I tried in Safe Mode with networking, but still get the same results.

  OS is Vista Home Basic 32-bit SP2.

  I would be grateful for any advice that might help solve this please.

  I have now re-installed Windows and everything works fine.  I still have no idea what caused the problem, or if it could have been set without a re - install.

  Thanks for the replies.

• 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
  tamba1

  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: ATI mobility issues

  I have an Equium A60 (PSA67E) with Celeron 2.80 ghz, 192 RAM, windows XP, and a 7000IGP ATI MOBILITY RADEON I bought jan 2005.
  I use the laptop and after 10 minutes a message appears and tells the driver has stopped working and I need a new. Which driver should I download for this stop happening? Ive looked to other people having problems with the infanite loop and its recommended location to download a bios updared will this help?

  I sent ATI and they said I need to contact toshiba

  It is also is so slow when I try and work on it, I've defragmented it but it works still slow. Would this becaure to have 192 RAM?

  Thank you for your help

  Hello

  First of all, I would recommend trying the page of the Toshiba driver graphics card driver:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
  You choose unit and OS and download and install the driver.

  In my opinion, your device must use min 256 MB memory.
  But it is not only the problem of memory. Some software programs and background processes may decrease the performance of the laptop.
