• Satellite A60-142: Tips for the new laptop

  Hi all

  I think to buy a new laptop.
  I currently have a Satellite A60-142 and I only am not too thrilled about this model since the fan makes me crazy... It is constantly running and compared to my old laptop (Satellite 1410-304), it makes a lot of noise...

  So, I want to get a new laptop which is quieter...
  I need basically for email/surfing/Online games/digital still camera.

  Thanks for the tips!
  Ellen

  Hi Ellen

  Well, it is a known issue that, often, the fan works. If you play games or use other applications, the laptop works at high performance and the parts of the device as the processor or graphics card produce a lot of heat. In this case, aeration run also at high speed. It is a simple fact.
  As far as I know, you can try to change the settings of cooling in the power utility.
  In addition it is not easy to say which model of laptop runs more quiet. In the notebooks of high performance fans are bigger and louder by contrast office books are ineffective but easier to cool.

  It's not easy to make a choice

  Good bye

• Satellite A60 summary failure and press a key to continue

  I have a problem with my satellite A60.
  I had the computer for about a year and a half and have never had any serious problems with it of any kind. However, last week the keyboard started to fail, first with only a few keys, then the full keyboard.

  It never bothered me much because I'm quite familiar with the Toshiba computers. So I connected an external keyboard, and I was back in business.

  I used it very well so far but I put the computer into hibernation last night and when I woke up this morning he said "resume failure and press a key to continue."
  I have keys and nothing happens, it just stay on this screen. I try to access BIOS by pressing ESC when I turn on the computer and the priority is set at STARTUP DO not RESUME, hover, it won't let me highlight to change anyway. The computer won't let me boot from the cd. Basically, it's just stuck on the screen and that's all.

  I wonder if there is another way to get around this or is my computer ended for good. I was running fedora linux at the time of the accident.

  Seems difficult but not insoluble it s...
  It resembles a hardware problem, but I won't for sure.

  This keyboardthing can be a defective keyboardcontroller, because your description of the error is describing a similar case that I got with my camera.
  I send the machine to my local servicepartner and they exchanged my motherboard and keyboard and after repair of the error, I had never bothered me again.

  Just a quick question: some fluids come from on your keyboard?

  Have a nice weekend

• Satellite A60-302: black and white photo on TV

  Help

  I have connected my Satellite A60-302 to my TV using brand also SCART S-VIDEO AND TWIN PHONO LICENSE that I bought from maplins. Transfers of image and sound on TV when I press Fn + F5 buttons but the image is in black and white, the sound is ok.

  I tried the color on the tv settings but it makes no difference, any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  The color on the TV settings won't help. Check please the port on your TV settings. As far as I know by the use of the pot from S-video to TV, it must be enabled properly to get the color. I put t know exactly how it works with cable SCART, but check out several channels if you should enable the option of scanning on your TV.

  I also hope that you bought the product of high quality.

• Satellite A60-672 hangs and will not initialize correctly

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba laptop A60-672 he had been running slow but now when I turn the laptop it goes directly to the option screen where I choose the mode without failure or last known good configuration, all the options I choose goes into the windows form as if xp load to the top of the blue cross bar the bottom of the screen you get a quick click of a blue screen and then it restarts to the safe mode screen and know last good config?

  Can someone advise me

  Thanks and greetings

  Hello

  On this path, it is not easy to say why the blue screen occurs. You know when a system error occurs, the computer displays a blue screen containing error codes. Can we post this code? Maybe someone will be able to say something that will help you.

  Anyway, in my opinion, the BONE is totally screwed and I fear at the end, you need to do clean install of the OS.

• Satellite A60 becomes warmer and slower and finally turn off

  Hi all
  My A60 is 18 months old. In January of this year, he had one main card replaced because he decided to put it off and wouldn't restart. At that time there laptop was on the Toshiba warranty that no problem. Unfortunately after almost a year he has warm and moved offshore again. What you think, a defective machine or a qualified repairman missed a real source of trouble.
  Will be grateful for any ideas or suggestions.
  Thank you
  Concerning
  Bartek

  I agree with Tobi. Probably there is more dust inside and the unit cannot be cooled properly. First thing you can do is to clean the device. The construction of the laptop, you can see if cleaning can be carried out alone or not. In your case I think it will be better to do it on the vocational track.

• Keys get stuck on the Satellite A60 - 142

  Hello all, I hope someone can help me here.
  Currently I; m using my laptop frequently, I write a thesis.
  I have problems with my keyboard: some keys stuck after working for a while, it is never from the beginning. The keys that get stuck caps lock, shift, and CTRL keys, very irritating when you type a text. Restart is not enough, when I do that some letter keys do not work. The laptop must be turned on during some time to make it work properly again. Anyone have experience with this problem and knows how to solve?

  Thanks, has soon B.T., Amsterdam, Holland

  Hello

  What do you mean exactly? The essential mechanism or the key issue of software?
  If you mean the key mechanism then I recommend to remove the CAP from the keyboard and then you can try to clean the key spot. Perhaps a dirt and grime could have a negative influence on the use of the key.

  But if it is a software problem if the cleaning process will not help.
  Sometimes cable keyboard could have a bad influence on the function of the keyboard.
  Have you tried to reinstall the OS? I think you should check if the new installation of the OS could solve this problem.

• Satellite A60 screen flickers and DIMM to almost black

  Recently, I noticed a few flickering on the screen of my laptop. This is not not a permanent flickering, but rather one that last a few seconds, then disappears. This occurs randomly, so am unable to associate with the use of any hardware or software. Two days ago, my screen dimmed to an almost black. With some effort, I could see (heavily) the different icons on the desktop, the laptop off. Some time later, I restarted the laptop to get the same screen. The next day, when I started my laptop everything seemed to be fine. I intend to update my BIOS, but just before I do that, I thought I should try to get help. All ideas are welcome. TIA.

  Hello

  It looks like FL-inverter to malfunction.
  I guess that the flickering of screen was also caused by faulty FL inverter.
  This part is not very expensive.
  But if you want to be 100% so I recommend you contact Toshiba service partner in your country.
  Guys should check the laptop. Maybe it's just something wrong with a s connection cable.

• My DVD Player reads but does not write/copy (Satellite A60)

  I need help, I use a laptop Satellite A60 - 106 series
  and my dvd burner stop a write only copies 3% and stops. I use nero and roxio.
  Please help me.
  You can reply to [email protected]

  Hello

  Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean with adaptation? If you want to burn files to DVD media, it stops after about 3%. Am I wrong?

  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then restart the device. After that the drive will be recognized and installed correctly. You can also try reinstalling the burning software.

• satellite a60 upgrate bios 1.9 b fail

  Hi everyone and especially for the people of toshiba'
  I have a toshiba satellite a60 psa (60th) and during the bios update 1.9 b, my bios crashed between installation 1/2, and now I'm desperately really distressed. My last version was 1.9 and worked very well. I have the opportunity to re write the Bios, but I can't find the 1st version. Please answer soon.

  Hello Viorel

  As far as know it of not possible to downgrade the BIOS. If the device has a newer version of the BIOS, you can t install the old version. In addition if you damaged the ROM because of the wrong BIOS update procedure, you will need to contact Toshiba partner.
  Unfortunately, only the ASP can install the BIOS again.

• Satellite A60: Need a recovery CD

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A60-682 (PSA60E), and two weeks ago the HD crashed.
  Unfortunately I lost the recovery CD and I can't rebuild the OS (Windows XP Home Edition) and drivers.
  I asked the authorized Toshiba Service partner, but they told me that the recovery for my Satellite A60 CD is no longer available.
  There are only 2 solution:
  (a) buy a new CD of Windows XP with Microsoft license and install the drivers (download from the Toshiba site)
  (b) a copy of the recovery CD for Satellite A60 of another user who has this model of laptop.

  Could someone help me? Could someone send me a copy of the recovery CD?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I agree with Irian. The Toshiba should always have the recovery CD.

• No common "Modules from Toshiba" need for Satellite A60 174

  Hi there and sorry for my previous post which was too general
  My satellite A60 174 hibernates and will turn off automatically and the display turns off after a while too.
  I think it's because the built-in Windows ACPI controller is installed instead of TVALD for everyone can would recomand me something?
  I updated the BIOS to version 1.9, but nothing has changed...

  Hello

  Without other complexes I answer advice reinstall you OS with recovery media sent. On this way, you will have factory settings and everything should work fine again. The recovery image is tested and I can't imagine that your laptop can do something on its own unless you have made a few individual settings.

  If you want to use the Hibernate mode, you can disable it in the tool.

  Good bye

• Satellite A60 - how to fix a female connector on the motherboard?

  I have a Satellite A60 which is since 2005. About 6 months ago the CPU fan started running all the time and recently, the computer began to fade.

  Thinking that it is ongoing overheating, I decided to completely disassemble the computer, clean it thoroughly, remove the old thermal paste and install one DIMM memory more important.

  Well, everything goes like clockwork, until I tried to put the connector of the power on switch in the plug. It wasn't easy so I put gently a little more pressure on the connector using tweezers. At this time, the socket broke apart from the motherboard.

  I don't have the tools for a welding job, but could a competent technician successfully reattach or is there a new mobo in my future.

  Thanks for the tips!

  Dan

  Hello

  To be honest also don t know how to solve this problem, because I m not a technician for laptop and I believe that you will not find the technicians of laptop here because it s only a user to user forum.

  Regarding this issue, please contact an authorized service provider. Talk to the technicians and buy a cup of coffee. I'm sure they'll help you ;)

• Satellite A60 where to find a motherboard?

  Hi all
  the other owners of the 60 satellite, I don't have Flash the bios, although according to the instructions on the site Web of Toshiba.
  the pc froze during "preparing for the bios update" then turns off. And no way to go after.

  We have a Toshiba ARP after a call to online assistance: an IC crashed on the motherboard, no possibility to repair it, the motherboard needs to be changed... 450 euros for a new (excluded installation)

  I've seen in a post later on this forum, someone has found a cheaper MB (for 150 euros I think)
  anyone here knows a way to get such a card of mother please?

  Thanks a lot for your help

  Hello

  Unfortunately, I n t think you will get a new motherboard very original and compatible for 150. The motherboard is a part of portable more expensive.

  I found the motherboards for a Satellite A60.
