• 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 will not burn DVD - Mat * a replacement UJ-820 s?

  Hello

  My toshiba equium a60 will no more DVD burn.
  Can anyone help? Or I need a replacement dvd writer? Cheers ron

  > I need a replacement dvd burner
  It possible s that CD/DVD drive failure and that only the new would be useful.

  But first, you should try some common solution opportunities.

  -Try using different media DVD because not all CD/DVD are compatible!
  -Try to burn the DVD with another burning software (for example Nero Burning ROM)
  -Remove the drive from Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop. After restarting again the OS should install the drive again.
  -Remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  If all of the procedures of this will be not useful so the replacement drive would probably be necessary.

• Equium A60 - question about replacement OEM DVD - RW

  Hi all

  The DVD - RW in my Equium A60-692 went faulty and reads discs input/output of windows is no longer.
  My Question is: can I replace the drive with any portable computer OEM DVD - RW drive, or should it be replaced with the drive from DVD - RW original it came with?

  Thanks for your time...

  See you soon

  You can replace it with any player, only with a compatible. I have no time to search the list for you and you can do it alone. Check it please s manuals for your model of laptop. Usually, at the beginning, you find a part on information in optical disc players. Should there have listed all the compatible optical disk drives.

  Choose the one that suits.

  Hello

  You n t need to install a HDD in particular of Toshiba. You can also use disk of another company.

  It is important that you use a HARD drive with support for hardware specifications.

  I found these useful discussions on the replacement of the HDD on the Satellite and Equium A60:

  Satellite A60 is very similar to the A60 Equium and so the two series use the same hard disks

• Equium A60-692 - no power and removing the HARD drive

  The power has gone on my A60-692, the adapter is ok but there is just no no LED on the laptop. I had to get replaced a few years ago so maybe it is related to that of the power connector.

  I took to a local repair place, he said, it would cost more to fix this, so I should really find it useful laptop only think about recover my data.

  Is it really so hard to fix these things?
  How hard is it to make the hard drive out, & how would then access down my data?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > I took to a local repair place, he said, it would cost more to fix this, so I should really find it useful laptop only think about recover my data.
  I agree with the authorized service provider. My personal opinion is that it s a malfunction of the motherboard and it is a very expensive part. Besides, Equium A60 is pretty old model so it would be better buy you a new laptop and recover your data.

  > How difficult is it to make the hard drive out, & how would then access down my data?
  It of not difficult, but I m really wondering why you need access to these data. You don t have a backup? In my opinion the backup is the most important thing you need to do on a computer.
  Anyway, normally on the underside of your laptop there is a HARD drive cover which is guaranteed by one or two screws. You must remove this cover and then you can see the HARD drive and you're able to remove it.
  Also buy an external HARD drive enclosure where you can install the HARD drive. Then you can connect it to another computer to back up your data. ;)

• 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.

• Motherborad Exchange on Equium A60-155

  Hello

  can anyone help please. I have an Equium A60-155 dead (PSA67E-00300C8J).
  This laptop I had since and is awesome, I recently spilled and that pushed the power in unity cable adapter, initially when running back (as it was off when he went) it worked, I noticed that the adapter has been pressed and waved it I heard it I think has a little spark and now the laptop tries to fire for a few seconds and turns off now I think the motherboard is dead and I am able to buy a motherboard to another model satellite A60-152 PSA67E-00200D8J, but can't find any information about this model.

  Someone know if I can put my p4 2.8 in this forum and use it or have a plug on this forum?
  If anyone can help I would be very grateful.
  Thank you very much

  Hi mate

  You can use another motherboard to another satellite or Satellite A60.
  But the stronger CPU depends on the chipset located on your motherboard.
  You should first check the specifications of the chipset, and then you know what CPU would be compatible.

  But note; replacing the motherboard is delicate. I doubt you could do this without additional assistance of a technician. In addition the DMI and firmware must be updated after the replacement of the mobo. This is necessary because the CPU would stick with 600 Mhz if the microcode would not be updated. This can be done by a technician of ASP.

  That's why I donation to recommend t this is

• How can I get a reinstallation of Windows XP Home for my Equium A60?

  Hello world

  I would greatly appreciate any help that I get here. So here's my problem:
  My hard drive recently failed on my Equium A60-181, which was purchased a few years there are nine with a genuine copy of Windows XP installed. Now that I replaced my hard drive, the vehicle currently has no operating system, but I would like to know how I can get an authentic copy to reinstall on my hard drive.

  Do I have to buy another drive of Microsoft? Or is it possible to reinstall XP using my recovery disk or a copy of Toshiba?

  Concerning
  Rhys

  ([email protected])

  Hello

  If you still have recovery media please use for the installation of operating system. You can use this support at any time and it has nothing to do what HARD drive you use with your computer satellite phone.

  If you need more help with the recovery procedure please post again.

  God luck!

• How to activate the resolution wide screen to external monitor on Equium A60?

  Hello

  I had an Equium A60 with an ATI Radion 7000 mobility grahpics chip in it. Earlier the LCD is dead and has decided to use an external monitor rather than replace it. However, the external monitor is a monitor 22 '' widescreen computer does not provide a display suitable for resolution. Is it possible to update the graphics driver to provide the wide screen formats. I looked on the toshiba updates, but there is nothing new there, and ATI are not ready to support offer it on a laptop.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  You can't choose your preferred resolution because the graphics driver does not support.
  Eventually the 3rd party driver support your favorite display resolution, but to be honest I wouldn't use these drivers because it could cause serious difficulties for laptop.
  The point is that these 3 third-party drivers are untested and not certified by Toshiba.
  Therefore, the use is at your own risk.

  Good bye

• Equium A60-692-power - laptop gets no power

  Hey

  My Equium A60 - 692 has ceased all powered by the AC adapter (though I measured it and its give a good 19v). I noticed the end of the adapter (the end that goes into the laptop) is different from the normal ones. Rather than having a hole in the center that integrates a pic on the laptop, it's just got a piece of flat metal. Wondering that was normal and the problem is inside your computer laptop or if the latter has somehow broken and is stuck in the adapter. It looks like its supposed to be that way, but it seems a little weird...

  see you soon

  HELLO Rodders,

  I fear bad news. The flat piece of metal that you describe is the rear part of the central axis that broke inside the power jack on your laptop. It is quite a common phenomenon (check some other posts on these forums).

  Unfortunately, the solution to this problem is for your authorized Service partner nearest replace the motherboard (expensive!) unless you can find someone ready to weld in a new socket.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

  Kind regards

• Equium A60-155 died - how to change the motherboard?

  Hello

  A week ago, I used my laptop Equium A60-155, I turned it off for the night. The next morning, he lights up no battery or AC, the lights on the front of the LT do not come on either.

  I tested the AC and it is very much pushing the 14.8V.

  On another forum suggested to abolish the HD to see if that would help (it didn't).

  So it might be that the MOBOs dead (in which case I'll have to buy a new one when I get a job, or internal theers fuse who jumped (if it exists).)

  If there is an internal fuse can I replace it myself and what is? (I'm on a job and can not afford the repair costs, some charge 70 Quid to pick it up, and another Bill 110 quid + parts)

  I guess it's just a matter of undoing the screws on the bottom?

  Hello

  I suggest also to contact the ASP in your country, because he can do a diagnostic test and can give you a detailed response.
  Maybe you n t need to change the Board of Directors, and perhaps only the part low cost has a failure.
  But to find out the laptop must be verified.

• My opinion on the Toshiba Equium A60-155

  I've had an Equium A60 - 155 during almost a year now and I'm quite impressed by it. For £730 I paid for it, not worth it.

  I had to increase the ram with another stick 512 for another £60 as the laptop does not work even with the standard 192. By that, I mean system breaks down, abnormal system responses, spontaneous reboots, system files/missing features, anti-virus program, just basically a machine unreliable, unusable failures.

  I will say that now the extra ram is installed, the software is more stable and most previous problems disappeared. But Toshiba is expected to have delivered it with 512 MB in the first place!

  And the battery on this is terrible! There is barely even a laptop! On a good day with battery all the saving settings on max I get about 50 minutes of it--and Yes, a year ago, when it was new, it would last together 30 more minutes at about 1:20. At the point where the thing was started in Windows and you install to work, it is for food then you might as well forget about asking him and always run from the network.

  How Toshiba charge that kind of money for a laptop that has this kind of performance? There is nothing on the laptop that can justify this money... the graphics card? Average. The processor? Celeron - enough said. The motherboard? Standard. The battery life? Laughable. The DVD burner? A bonus, but not worth the extra money. The size? Large.

  Just that there is more that I could do about it I wish and Toshiba could be made aware of the misery that they have caused me (and probably many others) during this 'portable '.

  * Note to the mods - please do not remove this post once again. Why do you feel the need to remove it anyway? Send me an email.

  I don't want to sound harsh, but you shouldn't really complain if you had bothered to check the specifications before you buy. Regarding the system crash that you can't just blame Toshiba is much poorly written drivers in XP bugs bugs in the BIOS firmware. Make sure you have XP installed with all the latest service packs for updates also updates BIOS (there has been 3 since I bought my A60-181) and if you want to try a different operating system to install Linux or use a distribution like Knoppix bootable CD.
  The battery life on laptops are poor, in general, I have seen some rival brands that quoted 1.5 hours but that the technology for you and having a processor Celeron doesn t s helped no more. That said that 50 minutes seems short for load complete so I recommend to contact Toshiba and see if they replace.
  The Admin of this forum is probably done only by ensuring that all messages on this forum to help are useful asking the nature. Making negative comments about products Toshiba on a Toshiba forum isn't clever but if you have a problem, then ask for help instead.

• iPod and Equium A60-692

  I'm the unhappy owner of a mini ipod since Christmas, having had the thing replaced twice as format on my Toshiba Equium A60-692 caused an error of hard disk (irreparable). I hear on the grapevine that there is a known fault.

  As he was replaced by another model, if yes what a number of battery should I look for.

  Hello, my friend. I see you are new in the forum. Welcome ;)

  Now to your question:
  You can order all the compatible parts and ASP support in your country. I think that guys order it directly from the Toshiba.
  Anyway, the European Toshiba site contains a beautiful site on the options and accessories.
  You will find lots of devices and parts which are included in the different categories and are compatible with Toshiba laptops.
