• Satellite A60 and energy saving issues

  Hello

  I am facing a problem that drives me crazy. After I formatted my laptop and install Windows XP, I'm never able to install Toshiba Power Saver or any kind of Toshiba Utilities. Setup turns on, but after that, it displays an error message (sometimes just sound no message) and it stops.

  To be more precise:

  I use a Satellite A60-302, with extra addition of 256 MB of RAM. I formatted the C: partition and installed Windows XP Professional (I tried 3 different versions: right XP, XP with integrated SP1, XP with SP2 integrated; just to be sure if the problem was caused by service packs). Then I inserted the CD provided, put in place the ATI card, etc. its pilots respecting order but when it comes to saving energy, the nightmare starts.

  I removed the RAM I added and tried the whole installation by the original Setup process, but no change... My hard drives are well checked for any kind of virus, and the installation process was done with the ethernet cable connected to offshore to prevent any possible intrusion.

  Funny, I remember setting up Win XP Pro on this machine before 3 months no problem at all. The only significant change since that day is the update of the BIOS from 1.60 to 1.80.

  Looks like a "common modules" error but it is not "common modules", on the CD or on the internet.

  Finally, I must say that I can't use my recovery CD because it's Windows XP Home Edition in Turkish, but I use Windows XP Professional English provided by my employer.

  Any help? I'll be delightened if someone could help me.

  Hi sunfury,.

  I imagine you're nettled. But there must be a solution to your problem.

  You are right. There is no common Modules for this machine. Usually the common Modules, all Toshiba tools depend on. It is the main module.

  In your case, it is very important to use a specific order of installation. Normally, you must use the order of Installation set by Toshiba. You can find it on
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/satellite/SA60/win-XP/install_xp_na_en.zip.

  But there is also another solution. I usually install on this path:
  -OS
  -chipset + display driver
  -audio driver
  -fix for... (all)
  -one other drivers (modem, LAN etc..)

  When you want to install the tools of Toshiba try in this order:
  -Power Sawer
  -Init GST
  -TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility
  -TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for display
  -Other utilities
  -TOSHIBA Console

  If you want to install SP2, maybe it will be better to do it later. It is also possible that some of the tools after installation of SP2 will not function properly.

  If you still have problems made me know.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A60 and Windows XP Recovery

  Hi all.

  I recently bought a Satellite phone from second hand from a friend (a little more older Notebook - from 2004.) When started in a virtual environment and run anti virus applications (memory) and diagnostic (Everest and Memtest etc.) tools, everything seem to be functional and in good condition. The HARD drive was dead when originally purchased, so I replaced that with a new (first replacement was defective, but was written for initially in tests, while the second is still RAW and unused). When you try to do an OS recovery/reinstall on the product CD (#R - 02163001 PMR400170EN1 2/2 T) original OEM nothing happens to start the process (no BootCD in drive - this despite the boot order set correctly). The only file on the CD is a file 02163001.GHS (615, 722ko) inside a TOSHIBA folder. This I guess being the second or several split files of Ghost. However the first part, which I imagine must be a. The file GHO to automatically start the startup/recovery process, is missing. Assuming that CD-ROM (certainly not the optical drive) as being faulty, I tried to buy a replacement online and by calling suppliers the. This CD is apparently is no longer available, anywhere!

  Defective CD-ROM, based on the single file, its size and the possible lack. GHO file?
  Is it possible to still make use of the image of the. GHS of the file on the original product recovery CD and incorporate it to recover the machine with a new CD with a .iso file, I could create. If so, how would I go on this subject?
  Norton Ghost 10 can not recognize this file type, for recovery. I have too many Norton Ghost 2003, but it is not intended to be used on a platform of XP based machine. Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 could do the job, but is $39 and I think that a little buying risky. The use of pirated software is not a viable option either.
  Purchase at a cost, a non - OEM generic Windows XP PRO is probably a solution, but preferably, I would like to use my original OEM CD.

  If anyone knows of any useful information or could provide a workaround solution, it would be appreciated.

  Hello

  As I see that you try to start the procedure of facilities using CD 2/2. It will not work.
  Recovery image is recorded on two CD and it should be started with the 1/2 CD

  You have the 1/2 CD?

• Satellite A205 and 4 GB RAM problem

  Well today I got a new stick of Ram DDR2 2 GB, bringing my total Ram to 4 GB. However, my computer recognizes 3 (3070 MB) to be exact. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I'm guessing that the issue has to do with * remapping memory in the Bios is enabled * however I do not have this option. I tried to download the latest version of the Bios off toshiba.com, version 5.20, well, it won't work, I tried to do it through Windows, as well as on a CD, I get the error messages.

  So I was wondering should I get the BIOS also? If yes where? My Bios is Phoenix TrustedCore.

  > However my computer does recognize that the 3 (3070 MB) to be exact.
  In the BIOS settings or directed by operating system preinstalled?
  > I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I'm guessing
  Can you please check this and remember what version of the OS is preinstalled on your system?
  > I should get the BIOS also? If yes where?
  Do not play with such things. Use BIOS Toshiba support only page.

• Satellite A60 and PS/2 keyboard

  I had a keyboard PS/2 and a PS/2 to USB for connecting the keyboard on one of the USB ports. However, when I do this, windows just keeps telling me that a USB device has failed and the keyboard does not work.

  Is there a PS/2 driver I need to download and install, or there at - it another way to get this working?

  I know that the converter is not the problem, because I used it with a previous laptop.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

  Hi Kevin

  Sorry but I have no explanation why it doesn t work. As much as I know there is no driver to be installed. I used this converter too long, but only with the mouse and there is no problem at all. At the moment I have not tested with the external keyboard.

• Upgrade the RAM for Satellite A60

  Hi I have a Satellite A60 with 512 MB DDR preinstalled in a slot. I want to install a 1 GB of additional ram from crucial. have a few questions:
  1 Toshiba A60 manual says that maximum RAM in two slots should not exceed 1.5 GB. That means 1500 MB literally like 512 + 1024 = 1536. I know its stupid but the hassle of a return of the items after the purchase is a pain.
  2. the Crucial website says that maximum RAM in two slots is 1280 MB.
  http://www.crucial.com/UK/store/listparts.aspx?model=satellite+A60+series
  3. speed: can I install the 1 GB PC2700 on my laptop? Not sure my current speed of 512 MB, but critical comments on DDR is backward compatible. do you agree?
  4 slots: is there a difference between the slots? As I read, I can't put the two Rams at once. I need to put one at a time.
  5. as you watched the crucial page, do you think that the RAM of 1 GB is a good choice for my laptop?

  I am looking to buy the 1 GB of ram this week. I would appreciate your help on this guy.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  Yes, you can use this module to 1 GB.
  You have 512 MB of internal memory and an expansion slot.
  If the maximum is 1.5 GB.
  The module fits into this slot and the speed is also OK.

  Good bye

• Satellite M10 and update BIOS

  Hello

  trying to make my first laptop BIOS update on my BIOS 1.40 M10. Date of 2003.
  I downloaded version 1.50 updated windows and where to extract the zip file and it starts to run I get "Toshiba common modules is not installed.

  But back to the driver downloads and download Modules common cmod-en20071113104042 and install. Run the BIOS update and I get the same common Modules not installed.
  Anyone can shed some light on my problems?

  The machine performs a clean install of XP Professional Service pack 3 and has BIOS version 1.40 and 512 MB RAM.
  I want to upgrade the RAM and have read on Toshiba takes the M10 supported 2 GB of RAM with the bios update.
  At the minute when I go to crucial.com and scan the system tells me max supported is 1 GB.

  No answers or help would be welcome.

  Hello

  At first, I must say that the BIOS update will not change with the support of RAM. It depends on the hardware platform and not update the BIOS. So it's not going to help at all. Your laptop can handle with 2 GB of RAM maximum end of the story.

  Satellite Pro M10 is old enough laptop model and I am 100% sure, update the BIOS, as a file is OK, but right now, there is no SP3 and I can imagine that there is the problem.
  So if you are satisfied, how does your laptop leave and enjoy this good old classic. Don't don't need BIOS update at all.

• Canoe install audio driver on my old Satellite A60

  Hi all

  I have an old laptop Satellite A60, and he had a problem so I formatted and reinstall windows, but I didn't have the original CD of windows came with this laptop so I used another CD that was provided by toshiba (I have another mobile satellite (I don't remember the exact model)). Everything worked fine, most of the toshiba utilities was already installed, but the graphics and audio cards drivers, missing (normal). I went to the toshiba website and download the audio drivers, installed, and when I clicked to restart the computer, after 2-3 seconds, I get a blue screen of death with the error STOP: 0x000008E and a TVS.sys file

  So I opened the computer and the driver was still missing. A few times, the driver is there and windows will not open and I have to go into safe mode and uninstall the driver. It's really annoying. I have tried other older versions of realtek AC97 drivers but does not work either. I tried like versions of the original that I downloaded from the official website of toshiba and 3 drivers, nothing works... The graphics card has functioned well tho... but having no sound is annoying...

  Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

  Different models of laptops have different hardware platforms and each recovery image is created for some portable model. Maybe this other model has different chipset, GPU, WLAN card, sound card, and so on.
  So I m really not ask you got BSOD at the beginning. There must be a conflict (registry entries) driver.

  What you can try is to install again and remove almost all the drivers installed and try to install the right drivers for the Toshiba download page in the hope that everything will be OK.
  I m not 100% sure, but tvs.sys probably owned audio filter.

• Black screen on my satellite A60

  Someone help pleae. Downloaded a pack of sevice on my satellite A60 and he did serious damage to a graphics driver... decided to recovery sysem completely... Put the recovery disk in... rebooted, held the key c pressed and nothing happens... it starts up but no display at all... machine very quiet well on... help!

  Yes, I had the same thing, but with my satellite P10 (blue one), its still very new and I don't think that the problem was with the battery etc since when I loaded, right after the orange charge turns green after awhile, which indicates its fully charged.

  I just played an online game when all of a sudden the laptop instantly closed (it was on the charger ALL the time, but like I said the problem isn't here) then I tried to re - open myh laptop, everything was ok, except the screen, which was black ALL the time, there was no noise which indicated that the laptop did not enter windows.

  And as Raym0nd said, my cell phone was a little unusually quiet too...

  I hope to get professional help on this. Thank you.

  P.S: I realized that, when the laptop is turned off (I played an online game) that the internet connection was not longer working because it has expired. That has affected the laptop, because when you're not online and your game, it closes instantly, the game that is... But I had this situation many times before... Why it is like that now...?

  I need help as soon as POSSIBLE... Thank you all very much.
