• 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 5200 701: RAM problem?

  Hello

  After my last thread, I could somehow isolate the problem further.

  My Satellite 5200 701 boots Win XP correctly, but when it is lifted upward or to the smallest shake the screen freezes or displays the Win screen in strange colors. When I hit carefully on its underside after you have started successfully, it crashes immediately when I touch the part of the cover of RAM.

  So, I guess it has something to do with the RAM. However, both RAM blocks have been verified by Toshiba, as well as the HARD drive.

  Does anyone have a solution?

  1 million thanks!

  Hi Moritz,

  According to your description of the problem, it is most likely something made intermittent contact where your RAM modules are connected. Try to remove and then reposition modules RAM themselves (by taking the necessary precautions of antistatic property course) to see if that helps. Make sure that the RAM modules are in place and properly locked in place.

  You can also try exchanging the RAM autour modules so that they are in the bays of spare.

  If your problem persists, then it is likely that there is a bad connection between takes of the RAM and the motherboard connections.

• Satellite A60-672: RAM upgrade Question

  I don't have that 192Mo of RAM on my laptop, is possible to increase, if yes how and how much to?

  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

• Satellite A60-122: RAM upgrade

  I am considering the upgrade of RAM on my laptop 1 GB + 256 MB (it is currently 256 + 256). As far as I understand, Toshiba recommends the use of memory Kingston KTT3311 / 1 G, which is, unfortunately, ridiculously expensive. I wonder if I could use a less expensive memory - say, Kingston ValueRAM KVR266X64SC25 / 1 G?

  Also, I don't understand why the manual for the laptop says that PC2100 memory should be used, while the recommended Kingston memory is PC2700.

  I m not 100% sure, but I think that the PC2100 support 266 MHz and PC2700 333 MHz
  However, the two should be possible but I recommend also using two exact modules

• After Effects will not be rendered full resolution - possible RAM problem?

  Not sure if this has ever imagined before - I can't return after that effects and RAM preview the half res. When I try and RAM the comp preview just goes black and when I send it to render I get the following message:

  After effects WARNING: connected to a single error - 'error made while writing to the file. An output module is not. The file is maybe damaged or corrupted(-1610153464).

  I am able to correct half res preview RAM and can thus make half res. I tried with several images simultaneously rendering on and outside, empty the disk cache and turn off all RAM hogging the effects.

  An obvious cause, I've identified is that I recently upgraded and replaced the RAM on my computer, however, after effects has been the only software made. Cinema 4 d makes no problem and I had no other problems with the general operation of my machine.

  Were already there before instances of After Effects doesn't work only with certain types of RAM?

  My set up-

  Mac Pro - early 2008

  OSX Mavericks 20.9.2

  2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad - Core Intel Xeon

  16 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

  Samsung 250GB SSD

  Just another check through everything and it seems that I was not quite be enough depth. Thought I had checked through each effect, each turn off systematically, but I must have missed one. Seems that although frischluft DOF is to blame - he was using with my 3D rendering and passes as soon as I turn off the layer AE renders perfectly. Duh! Think I must have been concerned with the RAM I had just installed and lack of the most obvious causes making.

  Quite relieved that I can make out AE now well that's a bit of a pain I can't use DOF frischluft. For this purpose known to cause problems in the past? I've used in some companies different and never had any problems with it so far. Maybe I need to upgrade to the latest version?

• 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 - recovery and install xp problem

  I have a laptop A60 which is slightly more than 1 year.

  A couple of days, about 2 minutes after the start, the screen flashed with a new window (I was unable to see the content, it's appeared and disappeared so fast), then the laptop turned off.

  I rebooted, could not boot into winxp I received the error message (please report this problem as a load dll required) missing file. The missing files were all of the system folder.

  I then tried the recovery dvd. Everything looked fine, however, he kept failing at windows startup.

  Whenever I start the machine now, I get the toshiba logo, which now has lines of Red pixels in the columns towards the bottom of the screen. The same effect occurs when I try to recover using the recovery dvd.

  After trying this for some time, I tried to install my own copy of XP home. The laptop starts, attempts to load the files needed for the installation of winxp, gets to the core of the dll and stops with an error 4 impossible to continue.

  The recovery cd and winxp cd are in good working condition - validated it on other machines.

  Once, the winxp set up did go to the options page so I chose the repair console. I was able to run fixmbr and fixboot. It worked, then I could use the recovery dvd and successfully recovered it. About 2 minutes later, once he had everything installed, I got a blue screen of death and had to re-boot - to see that I was back to the initial situation.

  I then used fdisk to set up new partitions. ]

  Now, if I try the recovery cd, the laptop starts to load the ghost file and then the screen turns white after a while - the same thing with trying to install a new copy of xp.
  I still get the red on the screen pixels when I try the recovery cd and when I start the machine and get the toshiba logo. However, when I try to install xp from my drive, the red lines, points, appear not at all.

  My feeling is that I had a master seed virus and need a new hard drive.

  Can someone please advise me on this... What do you think that is the problem? If you think it's a virus master seed aswell, can you please tell me what you know how I can fix this or I have to buy a new hard drive. What a RAM problem or a problem with the hard drive controller?

  For now, I am going through several thoughts, but keep coming back to the boot virus master = new hard drive!

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi Paul,.

  In this case, my inclination is to suspect the RAM modules. This is based on the assumption that the screen initial 'splash' is not on the hard disk but is stored in the CMOS chip. The fact that your get the Red pixels when it appears would indicate a problem until the hard drive is still accessible.

  If you have restored your system using the recovery CD then the Master Boot Record will also have been restored (and is not infected).

  Of course, it is perfectly possible that your hard drive may also have problems that would explain the symptoms that you experience when you try to restore you system, but want to try simply to clean the dust from your CPU radiator (with a vacuum cleaner hose) before you try to restore again.

  The restore process causes a lot of heat to be generated, and you may well find that it is having a negative effect on your laptop.

• Need help here with my Satellite A60 RAM

  Hi people

  Hope someone here can help me because I looked on the internet and come up with almost nothing.

  To put you in the picture. I bought my Satellite A60 at Hong Kong Airport and just him having when I saw how the screen was (seemed like a good idea at the time).

  The model number is - PSA60H - 00C 006 - this is supported by Toshiba China site I think, but I do not read Chinese.

  My problem is my RAM, I would like to level, but with what and in what order?

  The laptop at the back, which States:
  TOSHIBA 15XC 40 RW/DV 256o C2.8

  If I understand it, it tells me that I have 256 MB of RAM, but my reports only system 192 MB of RAM installed, is it his right?

  If I install more RAM, I'll have to change the 192 MB, or he can stay, or it is not editable.
  What is the Maximum of RAM this laptop will be except?

  Do you know where I can buy the RAM? part numbers would be very useful here.

  Thanks in advance for your help and time, people.

  Hi Steve,.

  Your notiebook reports 192Mo of RAM because it uses RAM shared for your graphics. The default allocation for the use of graphics is 64 MB that comes from your 256 MB RAM module, which leaves 192 MB for normal use of your laptop.

  You can leave your existing place 256 MB module and add extra RAM in the second slot, or replace the two modules. The choice is yours, but you'll always have 64 MB of RAM allocated for chart (unless you change this in your BIOS) for your laptop will never make the actual capacity of your RAM modules.

• Satellite A60-131: Question about upgrade RAM and HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 S-131, bought 2 years ago.
  I want to know is it possible for me to upgrade (internal) for a superior ability to HDD 40 GB HARD drive and update my RAM to 512 MB on the rise.

  Also I already inserted a 256 MB DDR RAM in the empty memory slot almost 1 year ago.

  Help will be appreciated.

  Hi Pranjal,

  You can definitley upgrade your hard drive for a larger version. You should find that a 80 or 100 GB will work fine. You should make sure that you get you a new disc with the same physical characteristics as you existing. The following link will help you remove the hard drive.
  http://irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA65/satA65_1.htm

  You can also get a new hard drive with a more rapid rotation speed (5400 RPM or 7200 RPM).

  I think that the maximum RAM for the A60 is 1.25 GB which includes 1 X fixed module (I presume yours is 256 MB, which means that you can install an additional module with a capacity up to 1 GB. Available in capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB of RAM modules.

  Kind regards

• 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.
