Satellite A60-106: white band (r) light on the screen

• Satellite P10: clouds white and purple fading across the screen during startup

  I had problems with my laptop PC-10 so I bought a new hard drive (Fujitsu 60 GB instead of 40 GB) standard and have it myself. I was working very well with it for a long time, until suddenly I have had the strangest problem that I've ever seen on a computer...

  Sometimes, when you start the laptop, instead of the screen normal red "TOSHIBA" and the message to start Windows XP, the laptop displays simply little weird white and purple clouds fading across the screen, fading finally on a screen very dark, but not quite black.

  I thought first it was a problem with the DVD player, like when he finally gave and started normally, the DVD drive has been disabled. However, I noticed in the BIOS, under "Advanced" the Infrared Port shows intermittently - it shows with the [Disabled] setting next to him, but will be then disappear from the list, then reappear again and then go again and so on.

  Sometimes my computer will function normally, then completely shut (mouse and all) and will restart with the clouds!

  I looked in the Windows Event Viewer for when the laptop has locked up and have seen anything to do with a problem with IRQS for the Infrared Port. I disabled the infrared port in Device Manager (I managed to activate in the BIOS by loading the standard BIOS settings) and rebooted, but it started upward with the clouds once again, so I have the feeling that the infrared port is the culprit - loose connection may be defective material because it is located close to the DVD player and HD player.

  I was wondering if anyone has seen something like this before on any computer, and if they knew how to solve? It seems completely illogical that a defective IR port could change what is displayed on the screen on startup, unless of course there is something wrong with my HD boot sector?

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I've never seen like this problem before and I don't think that this issue has something to do with the HARD drive or the IrDA port.
  As much as I know the IrDA port is not available on Satellite P10 - xxx

  For me, this looks like a faulty screen or graphics card.
  Have you tried to connect the external display? If this isn't the case, then try to do and check if it also appears on the external display.

  I recommend also to recover the laptop with Toshiba Recovery CD and then check the functionality.
  But if the malfunction appears so I would recommend contacting the Toshiba ASP for control from laptop

• Satellite SP6000 - Crash with bands of color on the screen

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite Pro 6000 and it has worked well for more than two years. But in the last two months the laptop crashed at any time with a screen televisions flicker with stripes of color. After that, it takes time to make it work again. XP Pro is fresh installed since the recovery CD. Unfortunately, it looks like a hardware problem. An external monitor displays the same distorted screen. I don't think it's too hot and the fan is running and blowing hot air.
  It is out of warranty now and I don't want to spend a lot of money on a repair task.
  So, any suggestions for me? I don't mind opening and replacement/repair of certain parts of it, but it would be great for advice on a possible reason for this.

  Thank you in advance and bye,

  superberti

  Hello

  Of course, it could be a malfunction of the motherboard connector or the power.
  But to be 100% sure that you should contact ASP, because he can do a diagnostic test, and then it can give you an exactly the answer on the fault.

• No wireless - Satellite A60-106

  Hello
  I model Satellite A60-106, and I was wondering if a wireless connection is enabled on the laptop, because it doesn't seem to work when I go to a WiFi active area.

  Thank you

  Hello Kwana

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that your device has a wireless card. Please check in Device Manager if the wireless adapter is listed under network adapters. If the unit comes with a wireless card on the down side there must be a label of the card wireless with identification of the card.

  Good bye

• Satellite A60-106: cannot open Microsoft Office 2003

  I have Satellite A60 - 106 laptop with windows XP Home pre-installed. After the recent failure of windows, I used the toshiba product recovery DVD. I managed to download other software like microsoft following works, note, Norton antivirus on CD. But Microsoft Student and teacher edition 2003 CD does not open in my CD/DVD drive.

  It makes normal CD to access the noice after insertion, but is not accessible. By pressing "run" displays the error as not accessible D:\, i/o device error.
  The same CD (microsoft 2003) opens with other computers.
  So, where's the flaw and how to rectify?

  I tried all sorts of advice through the web.

  Can someone help me please?

  Hello

  For me, it looks like a hardware failure. The error indicates that the drive is not able to read from the Microsoft CD-ROM.
  There must be something wrong with the lens of the drive and therefore the lens cannot read the CD drive is not accessible!
  Maybe after cleaning the lens you can use this CD.

• Satellite A60-106: ATI graphics card driver update

  I have a laptop Satellite A60-106 and I was told to update my driver graphics ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP, otherwise I won't be able to view the photos taken from the video.

  I'm unable to locate these updates on the Toshiba site. Nobody knows where and how I can get this update?

  Hello

  I don't know if I understood your question right, but you are not able to look at images from your video camera to Mr. I'm wrong?
  I put t think that the graphics driver has something to do with this action.

  What applications did you use? How did you exactly connected the external device? Did you get any error messages?

  Just for the info: I used last time on my laptop the driver from the Omega.net Web site. But on the Toshiba site I found a news that Toshiba recommended to use only the Toshiba drivers graphics and different drivers, you can install it at your own risk!

• Re: Satellite A60-106 - deleting characters when you type

  Hi, hoping someone here can help me...

  Toshiba Satellite A60 106 running Windows XP missing characters when I type. If I type very slowly every key works fine. Many letters are removed to normal typing speed. This happens in all applications and does not load. The key repeat rate is also slower that we should (I know how to define it, the problem is not with the setting but with the fact that the setting is not honored or recognized correctly).

  Virus/spyware scanner reports clean. The problem started all of a sudden for no apparent reason and does not seem to be associated with any hardware or software changes. Tried to start in safe mode, try to disable all non-essential progams services started via msconfg but to no avail. problem still there.

  Laptop has historically suffered badly from overheating, but this problem is not related of course it's the same thing that the machine is hot or cold.

  Any ideas?

  Have you installed drivers for a keyboard or an external mouse? (for example, Logitech or Microsoft)

  If you boot into MSDOS, it always falls of characters? You can download a boot BACK on www.bootdisk.com disk

  What BIOS version? You have the latest version?

• Satellite A60-106: Question about updating the BIOS and the BIOS Flash

  Fact the BIOS Flash update the BIOS or that requires a different file. I've updated a Satellite A60 BIOS to 1.9 but am not sure if cela flashed the BIOS as well.

  If this isn't the case, where I could get a file to Flash BIOS for satellite A60-106?

  Hello

  Sorry, but you question is a bit confusing.
  The update of the BIOS flashing the ROM module I put t know which version is installed before upgrading the BIOS, but if after the upgrade, a new version of the BIOS appears then the procedure was a success.

  The good BIOS and how to upgrade the BIOS information you will find on the page of Toshiba.

  Hello

  > is it possible to turn off the lights (hard disks, power supply, lamps wireless, load) as on old laptops in the hardware configuration

  I m 665 not owner, but in my U400 BIOS I could turn on and off the media lights using the option titled Illumination.

  Don t think you can do that and who knows what software features would be available in the future

  Hello

  In this case, it is not easy to say why this is happening and what can be the problem. For me, it's like something wrong with the contacts of the power button.
  But I can give you a precise answer.
  I put t know if your warranty is valid but if yes, then you should ask to help ASP. You shouldn't t open Notepad because you will lose the warranty.

• Satellite A60 - 106 - SHIFT keys do not work

  Hello

  I have a laptop A60-106 Satellie. For some reason or work shift pressed.
  I even reinstalled XP and all the utilities Toshiba etc...
  Any ideas please?

  Antony

  It's really not easy to say what is wrong, but you should test an external keyboard because the keyboard internal or let the shift keys are defective.

  Have you installed your portable computer with the recovery disc or Microsoft? It is important to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to ensure that all the necessary drivers and tools are installed.

• Satellite A60-106 does not start

  Can anyone help? When I turn on my A60 106 it happens with a text screen that says Windows (XP) will not start and a few basic instructions. There are 5 options listed - Safe Mode - Safe Mode with network - safe mode with command prompt - known last good configuration - and start Windows normally. None of them work, computer goes to the Windows XP logo normally then flashes to the toshiba logo, after what the power seems to cut and it is up to the text with the options screen. Which if left constantly looping. All the ideas!

  Hey Warren,

  Whenever I encountered this behavior it is always caused by a defective hard drive. Indeed the system cannot be loaded because the required files can be read from the HD.

  You can try to re - install your recovery CD system in the hope that it is just the files that have been corrupted, but if this also fails then a new HD will be required.
