• What type of RAM can I update satellite A60-108

  Hello

  Should what kind of RAM I update my Toshiba A60-108, PSA60E-03H0357Y?

  I found very interesting site of memory:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=11565&ft=m&St=3

  Satellite A60-106 listed there, but I think it uses the same modules as the a60-108
  According to this page, you can use PC2700 200 pin memory (333 Mhz) DDR SODIMM modules.

  As suggested, you can use a slot for an upgrade.
  The laptop supports the 1536 MB max (about 1.5 GB) memory
  In this case, you can use max 1 GB module.

• Satellite Pro A120 battery problem

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A120 and is a battery problem a month ago.
  The battery is not new, but recently changed, 6 months ago.
  Until a few weeks ago, it lasted about 2 hours when full load, until this time
  suddenly dropped 30-40 minutes.
  In addition, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's a few extra vibrations,
  for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  I initially though that there was a problem with the battery or the battery contacts, but they seem ok.
  I tried to unload it in my laboratory of the company with a power resistance: resistance absorbed 1A continuously for more than 3 hours. As the specification 4400mAh battery, I would say that the battery is ok.

  Is it possible that I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
  The battery stress test above seems to show that the charging process is ok. So the problem might be with
  the provision of monitor or battery power.
  Someone at - it experience of similar problems and maybe a solution.
  Or perhaps a work around? As excluding the battery monitoring and auto turn off

  Thanks in advance

  Perhaps, but that's just a guess only a cellphone technician may provide an exactly the answer to this question.

  > Furthermore, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's some additional vibration.
  for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  It is very strange, I want to say if the contacts of the battery and the battery would be ok, this symptom shouldn't its sounds strange for me, so maybe that's the key why battery don't not lasts more than 30-40 min

  However, I think you should try a new battery before checking the motherboard.

• Satellite P300-172 battery problems

  Hello.

  Hope you all had a good Christmas and can hopefully help out me.

  I bought a laptop P300-172 awhile back.
  Now, even after the sinking of a large number of power settings, the battery life was poor.

  So I ordered a replacement from ebay (part 3rd battery) the battery is identical to the Toshiba battery in everyway of course the only difference is there was not an a toshiba.

  in any case, when the battery arrived I plugged it and the battery LED came on to show that he was charging, when I booted up my laptop (with vista) windows showed that there was no battery connected, I thought strange. But I did back and let it load, after an hour or two charging orange led started flashing which it never did.

  Still, I booted up vista and windows showed there is no battery connected. I have contcated the seller and assumes that the battery was faulty, as chance would have, he repaid the article and I went back to the normal toshiba battery.

  I had another battery, ordered through work and that is identical in every way, once again, except that it was another 3rd party battery and which does exactly the same thing.

  Can anyone help?

  I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS (3.9) and have tried many steps as leaving the laptop without the battery for 30 minutes and then insert the battery. update the bios.

  Well that's about all I can think and have read through the forums.

  I appreciate may give any information you guys! Sorry for the long message.

  If I were you I wouldn't assume more battery problems and return the phone to the place of purchase, if you can.

  The problem is out of your control, as you have tried multiple batteries. Just give him place of purchase to watch. Then less grief for you.

  Good luck.

• Satellite A60 DVD Player problems

  Hello
  I have a Satellite A60 (18mths old now) - when I 1st got it the DVD burner was DOA - so I sent off the coast and he had replaced.
  It has worked well since then until recently when the DVD player just wouldn't recognize anything - CD or DVD

  Tried everything with this unit - but at the end of the day understood the drive was gone.

  Another bought a (SD-R6252) and lo-and-this is the same thing happens.

  Each diagnosis that I run says the drive is OK - but there is no disk in it.
  I reinstalled windows from the recovery factory - discs
  Update the BIOS
  Tried to update the firmware of the drive-, but the update said that this was not necessary.

  Tried with Nero, Windows, InterVideo - nothing.

  As it is now a working machine that I can't afford 3 months back in time to send it off and watched it (that's how long it took the last time) and my nearest dealer of Toshiba is in place at the other end of the country.

  Suggestions for things that I can try out would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  The new drive can read CDs but can not burn anything. Am I wrong?
  Or the drive cannot recognize the media that in the Windows operating system?
  You said that you have reinstalled the widows. In this case, you used the drive.

  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager. Restart the unit. Now check if you can use CDs and DVDs

• Satellite L555-123 battery problem?

  I own a satellite l555-123 which, lately, does not (most of the time), not start even without the battery and when in power. I managed to start it once, and what I saw was a popup that says "your battery is critical please change as soon as possible" or something in that sense (but that normally on windows and all, just, he couldn't last more than 5 minutes, running windows). I have 2 questions if you could be so kind to answer.
  Is it possible that it does not start when running on a power supply without battery?
  What model battery is also compatible with my model? Just to know to buy a

  Thanks in advance!

  Ask Toshiba or people that you buy.

• Satellite L850 - charger / battery problems, not normal...

  Hi all.

  First post and all, I had a glance through to see if I can find my particular problem, and I don't think I can.

  I posted this in another sub-forum, but then realized it's here... oops!

  A L850. It will work fine on battery, but only supplies not the charger cable. Helpfully, a colleague also has an another L850 (I bought two together) so I can charge my battery of separately in his machine.

  If I start the machine on a charged battery, it works fine. If you connect then the power adapter, the led is lit on the front of the machine, but it's clearly not load the machine works until the battery is flat and then turns off and will not turn on back until you charge the battery apart and put it back in.

  Whenever the machine is powered, it also complains that the RTC battery is flat, and you will need to set the time in the BIOS. It is the coin cell CR2032 internally on the motherboard isn't?

  what I don't understand, is that the unit understands clearly that the charger is plugged, as seers to say it is the battery. Except that it isn't, and is not to be unity. Œuvres battery for about 40 minutes of our days, after that, dead machine.

  Any ideas? I suppose that there is something wrong with the internal charging circuit, but the fact that the LED lights up when it is plugged suggests otherwise...

  Thanks for all the ideas.

  David.

  More information on this type of bit. When it is plugged in, the icon on the screen says "Plugged in, charge", but battery icon animates not charging about 10 seconds, then stops, and battery is clearly not charge as % drops away slowly.

  I found a Google one of them is the "remove all, hold for 30 seconds, reconnect power. This made no difference. I also found advice to uninstall the battery from the device manager driver software and allow it to re - install. This done, still no different.

  I got the hard drive and in a USB enclosure to retrieve all my files and am doing the 'factory restore' option I think that this is a restore hard disk partition. This work is far away, but in my opinion, is still running on battery only, so do not know if this is going to end!

• Satellite P10: Discharge battery problem

  Hi all. I just bought a P10 and I have a problem with the battery discharges while remaining on the current after being fully charged.

  Basically when the battery discharge the machine stops and cannot be restarted successfully until about 1/2 hour of charging.

  Surely if the machine is on the battery supply should be go to the opereation of the machine? Virtually all other laptops are not disturbed by the battery then on the sector.

  Is there a utility that disables this problem because there is nothing in the bios that is available to select. (BTW, I HAVE ISNTALLED LATEST VERSION OF THE BIOS).
  I also blew the hole thing with compressed air just in case there was a problem of overheating.

  Am Running XP Pro 512 MB DDR333Mhz 30Gig HDD 2.6 GHz P4

  All this makes me very frustrated and am really starting to regret to have bought the laptop.
  I've been a professional for 10 years now and have never experienced such a problem.

  Any help, advice, links or the fixes would be greatly appreciated so thank you very much in advance.

  Hello

  It s very strange.
  As far as I know the Toshiba power saver control power and cooling procedures.
  If the AC adapter is plugged in, the energy saver uses a profile of full power.
  If the laptop works with battery energy saver must use another profile with different parameters. You should check what profile is used and the settings for this profile.
  Check the CPU and cooling module parameters.

  But if this doesn't help then it could be something wrong with the hardware. But it's not easy to say what the problem is. In this case, you must contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. It can start diagnostic tests.

• Satellite L300D-245 - battery problem

  I was using my laptop on battery only and all of a sudden it turned off even if she had 40% of power left and would not turn on. I plugged it into the outlet. the battery led doesn't light up. I turned on the laptop and everything was ok, but for the battery. the laptop read it, but it does not load. It's 40%, so I plugged it in, and it turns off immediately. the battery is now at 0% and the laptop runs on the power adapter only.

  the laptop is old, vista 1 year.

  Last week, I saw the same behavior on my laptop of a friend s. I'm not 100% sure but I think that the battery is defective. He has already ordered a new.

• Satellite A60-108 keeps restarting

  I turniend this morning and it will load to xp log on screen, and then restart its self. Then he will continue to do the same thing again and again.

  Hi Christophe,

  It is possible that something in the start section of the registry causing this behavior.

  I recommend trying to boot into 'SAFE' mode, and then execution of virus and spyware scans to check all the unwanted entries.

• Satellite A60 - USB 2.0 TVBox does not work

  I connect a model USB TVbox PV-TV414U made by Prolink Pixelview for my Satellite A60, I install all the drivers and all the updates for this computer and when I run the program to watch TV from the computer with a BugCode_Usb_Error message blue screen crash? I try to connect the Tvbox in a PCMCIA USB 2.0 card in Satellite A60 and the TVbox works but only the sound, the image appears. I tried in an another Toshiba Satellite A60 and the problem is the same. I tried in many other computer from other brands and everything works fine. The problem is that with the Satellite A60. What is the problem with USB in Satellite A60.
  System operating _ windows XP SP

  Hello

  Unfortunately, it is not easy to say why it happens. The error message sound like something wrong with the USB connection.
  You can try to disable the power on the USB ports in the properties of USB. Maybe it helps.
  You can also try to connect this TV box via the external USB powered hub.

  But in my opinion, you should communicate with the production of this card. Maybe the support guys would know why this is happening. Also check if there are updates for this card.

• Satellite A60: charging problem

  Hey,.
  I have a toshiba satellite A60 laptop. My laptop has 2 years. After that I used my laptop in battery mode, it fell because the battery was empty. When I plugged it on the net, the battery led flashed amber for less than a second and went back. The battery and the batteryled came out.

  Windows detects the battery however. The laptop still continues to operate on the battery for a few minutes. I already had this problem about a year ago, and after a few months the battery began to charge again.

  Someone at - it a simular problem and how do you solve?

  Thanks (sorry for the bad English)

  Hello

  Maybe the battery cannot load properly because he has a malfunction.
  Generally, the battery performance decreases the extent of time.
  I read that you can charge and discharge the battery about 500 times and then the performance breaks down.
  You can try to remove the battery for a few times. After this time try to load it.
  I also recommend check if this problem also occurs with a new battery.

  But it is also possible that there is something wrong with the electronic power supply.
  This could have a negative influence on the loading process.
  I also read that the BIOS update have solved some problems of charging the battery.
  But if charging the battery worked for 2 years, so I guess that the BIOS is ok.

  However, check with a new battery.
