Satellite A60 doesn't turn on - any ideas?

When I turn on my A60 system turns off after 3 seconds. The screen stays dark during this period. I checked that the drive is OK by booting from it in another PC. I suspect that the screen can be broken or perhaps disconnected?

Any ideas on how to get information about the diagnosis about what is broken?

Hello

have you tried to connect the machine to an external monitor? Then you can see if your internal display is faulty or not.

Otherwise, you will need to bring your machine to a technician or a local service partner
(Here´s a link to find a: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT)

to check your machine on hardware failures.

  • Re: Satellite A200 doesn't turn on

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200-23V. All of a sudden, he lost his power while using it. Then it turns on again. I already removed the battery - only the power supply is connected, but still it won't turn. I don't know what happened. Someone at - he had this experience before? I would appreciate any input. Thank you.

    Hello!

    Try to remove the battery and the AC adapter, wait about an hour and then plug the battery and the AC adapter.

    If it doesn't work you should go to an ASP (authorized service provider). It looks like a faulty motherboard.

  • Satellite Pro A60 has just turned off and won't come back

    any help apreciated

    Hello, Heidi

    Remove the battery, connect your laptop adapter only and try starting your laptop running. When the laptop boot and OS is fully loaded, wait a few minutes and reinsert the battery.

    If everything is OK look carefully if the battery will be charged correctly and when battery LED is green (fully charged battery) try to turn off your laptop as usual. Turn it back on and carefully monitor what is happening exactly.

  • Noisy CD/DVD drive on my Satellite A60

    Hi I have a Satellite A60 and for some reason any CD/DVD player makes a terrible on some CDs and DVDs, but not on the other noise. It seems that the CD is rubbing on something, but not what it now makes noises with the CD I played for centuries. Ideas please

    Hi Roger,

    There are two possibilities for this problem: -.

    1. the CDs themselves can be slightly distorted with slightly off-center hole, which makes the disc "wobble" that turns and can cause the noise you describe.

    2. the latch of blockage in your CD player can have worn insofar as it does not lock the CD in position correctly. This will also lead to a swing in the disc as it spins and the noise that accompanies it.

    Since you say that noise occurs on the disks you used previously, I guess that the second of the two options is the cause then before taking any additional action I recommend to check that the drive is not loose in its mounting in your notebook.

    Unfortunately, if all else fails, you may need to replace the drive.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A60 does not detect Toshiba MK4025GAS HDD in BIOS

    Hello

    I've tried everything (updating the BIOS to 1.9, put a rider that cs, remove the DVD-ROM), but without success (by the installation of Windows XP, I see that drive, I can format it and copy the installation and startup system files failed).

    What is furious that this disk HARD 100% ok and work on Toshiba Portege 3500. I also tried an another HDD (60 GB IBM) to A60 and work correctly. Any ideas or is it just something religions?

    Best regards
    Oleg.

    Hello oleg

    This HARD drive is listed as compatible for this model of laptop, and it should work properly.
    One thing I don't understand. In the topic, you wrote that A60 cannot detect HARD drive but if I understand you right, you have access and you can format the HARD drive and also to start the installation of Windows XP Home edition.

    Can you please be so kind and explain exactly what is wrong with the HARD drive.
    HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?

  • My Satellite A60 get "crazy".

    Hello everyone
    After you have installed Windows XP pro on the same default partition Windows was intalled in, my Satellite A60 began to turn off suddenly after a while, the screen changes to its minimum luminance, so I see nothing unless I move the slider, the carpet * a DVD - RAM drive only recognizes the CD, the computer takes place automatically and when I try to go back to Windows all I get is a black screen , and so on...
    So I thoug maybe it's energy-saving settings of the Toshiba on the first installation of windows that has one influence on others its management power settings, so I uninstalled Toshiba Power saver, nothing changed :(
    Then I tried to install it on the new windows (sp2 pro) but I got an error that prevents the execution of the program

    Someone knows a solution?

    Hello

    I assume that you have installed your own operating system and not delivered image recovery media. Am I wrong?

    Believe me on this path is not easy to say what may be the problem. Is there a message of error before the unit turns off?

    By the way: this happens with the recovery image?

    How about a dead motherboard?
    Failure of the motherboard may be the reason for this

    It would be the worst case since the motherboard is some of the most expensive and deeper cases there s no need to replace it as a new laptop would be more expensive

  • Satellite A60 is turned off by itself

    Hi all
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A60, and she herself is turned off. I had this problem 2 years ago and had to change the hard drive with the disk driver, but was covered by my warranty. It has been resolved for 7 months, but back. Now the same problem is more frequent, especially in the last days.
    Another thing, whenever I move it to another room (you have to walk on the stairs, so maybe something is moving, or as the other room is usually really hot), I have this problem more frequently.

    I don't know that it's an overheating problem! Sometimes it's really hot.

    I opened it to check if the fans (there are 2 large and the other small) are working well and they seem to be.
    When we keep the keyboard not attached, it works perfectly for hours, however, as soon as I attach, it get overheated and shut down.

    I'm running out of ideas and to consider difficulty will cost you a huge amount of money, and to be honest, I'm not sure that it be resolved.

    In cars, there is a kind of thermometer, which could be the temperature. I was wondering it's the same in the laptop, if it is also in cars, according to the room temperature, and if it is what creates this problem.

    Everything has any suspicion what should I do?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Since the opening of you´ve I guess that you didn t took a glance to the fat of cooling on the CPU. In your case, I would do the following:

    Looking for someone who is very familiar with laptops or laptop technician. Ask him to replace the fat of cooling on your CPU and graphics card.
    The problem should be solved by replacing this cooling fats and clean the fans of dust and debris.

    The machine should be run after all the action without any problem.

  • Satellite A60-712 - turn off after 2-3 seconds

    Hello everyone.

    I am trying to fix this Satellite A60-712; He came to me without feeder, but I found a compatible and it seems to work: CC in LED lights up and the battery starts to charge.

    My problem is that this starts Mobile for awhile, radiator begins to turn, all the lights are normally, but, all of a sudden everything turns off after 2-3 seconds. I have observed that this machine has only one slot of free RAM and noted that it has integrated the module memory motherboard; that would be the problem? Or another reason?

    Could someone help me?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    > it came to me without feeder, but I found a compatible
    Can you please test it with a Toshiba original AC/DC adapter? The same thing is happening?

    If the laptop has already integrated memory motherboard there is no problem. Alternatively, you can use the laptop without additional RAM module.

    In the worst cases, you need professional help of an authorized service provider. :(

  • Can not turn on WLAN on my Satellite A60

  • Can not turn on the Satellite A60

    Hello
    I got the Satellite A60 for a long time. The battery is almost dead so I decided to use the AC power adapter to power the computer. When I try to turn it on it Star and stops in a few seconds. He looks dead, even if dc indicator is green and the battery light is orange. I tried to make it work without the battery, but it does the same thing. Sometimes with a lot of patience it lights, but I really don't know what I did different.
    Can someone please tell me what is this problem and how to solve?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I think that the battery LED appears orange because the AC adapter is plugged in and the battery charges.
    So, I can't give you a good answer why the laptop cannot start correctly, but one thing is very interesting.
    No passes for laptop, the start screen of Toshiba which appears at the beginning?

    If it is so perhaps there is a hardware failure and the laptop must be verified by ordinary service partner or a technician with experience more as a user like you and me.

    But if the laptop can correctly pass the Toshiba start screen so in my view the files on the HARD drive are corrupt or the HARD disk contains bad sectors.

    In this case, the only way to solve such a problem is the new reinstallation of the operating system.
    I think you should try to boot from the recovery CD Toshiba.
