• Memory should what upgrade I buy for my Satellite Pro A60?

  Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A60 PSA65E, who currently has 192 MB of RAM and 2.8 GHz Celeron processor.

  My problem came when I tried to install Adobe Creative Suite 2 on it, but it would not allow me to do so because he needed 384 MB of RAM to run it. I was wondering if someone could tell me what RAM upgrade is compatible with my machine and if it inserted in another port or if I have to get out the old and replace?

  Thank you
  Donald

  Hello

  your laptop is 256 MB internal memory, I'm not sure why it shows only 192 MB. This internal memory can be replaced only by a technician. But you also have a currently unused memory slot, in which you can place a maximum of 1024 MB of RAM.

  Here are the modules from Toshiba lets you:
  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  Good bye

  Hi Barry,.

  I'd be inclined to return your laptop to an authorized Service Agent Toshiba. The OEM software should not require all the updated drivers at this early stage of his life, and the unit will be well within its warranty period.

  The closer your repairman details can be found on the Toshiba site.

• Satellite Pro A60 - update the BIOS without OS

  I have a Satellite Pro A60, trying to install XP pro but says he needs the BIOS update, downloaded the new update, unzipped and that one file, will not start until no bootable files.

  There is currently no OS on the laptop, I understand that I need an ISO file but where is she... !...

  Hello

  Why you need to update the BIOS?
  I doubt that XP installation says that you need to update.

  Normally the update of the BIOS is a bit risky and must be that if she of really necessary. In addition the update of the BIOS can only be done from Windows. There is no DOS version, they available only authorized for service providers.

• Satellite Pro A60 - recovery question

  I tried to do a cover of product on a satellite pro A60

  I put in discs 1 and 2 according to the instructions and everything seems to work ok.
  Then tells me to remove the recovery media and restart the computer using ctrl alt del

  It restarts and goes through toshiba screen and on the screen of windows xp... then a blue screen that says please wait while windows prepares to start... then on windows xp with a saying of hourglass professional screen, please wait. Nothing else happens.

  It does nothing else, we left it for 3 hours today and it didn't go past this screen.

  Everyone knows it or can give me some tips on how to make the laptop still works?

  I installed windows and the Toshiba Recovery many times and I didn't noticed this problem on any of my books.
  I remember that once my Windows installation operating system has failed. I put t know why
  But I just formatted my HARD disk, erase all partitions and started the installation again! The procedure is completed successfully and portable started in the Win XP operating system.

  You must understand you problem could be linked to the software only or the operation of the equipment (HARD drive?)

  One question; have you used the recovery CD Toshiba compatible? I read repeatedly on similar problems, and finally the wrong recovery CD was the reason for start-up/installation problems.

  Make sure that sue you the good CD and then I would recommend repeat the installation of the OS.

  Good bye

• No switch wireless on Satellite Pro A60

  I just bought (second hand) a satellite pro A60EN PSA65E 01HOOU8K model number. There is just a cavity where the wireless communication switch should be. Does this mean that I can't use a wireless router?

  Hi David

  Some of the Satellite Pro A60 was delivered with a minPCI wireless network card and some do not support the WLan functionality.
  It seems that you have one that does not support the WLan. This is why you must use an external solution such as WLan USB stick

• Satellite Pro A60 - Windows XP shows / use only a part of RAM available

  Hello guys!

  I am facing strange problems with one of my two A60s. I just upgraded two of them with 1024 MB of RAM the same. One works perfectly, but the other will show me only 410 MBs in Windows. The BIOS indicates the correct size. I changed the RAM from one to the other, but this strange error is always present. The version of the BIOS has been updated to 1.90 and has Windows XP SP2.

  Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Is there an easy way to put the management of RAM in Windows?

  Thank you in advance!

  Ralf

  It s very strange.
  I found that an additional Satellite Pro A60 info has been delivered with a different hardware configuration.
  Some A60 Pro comes with an internal memory of 512 MB and others with only 256 MB internal memory.
  In addition, the internal memory modules cannot be deleted and there is only one slot for memory upgrade.

  But I put t know why the OS shows only 410 MB

  Oh, I forgot to mention that the graphics card, also use the part of the main memory and, therefore, the operating system of shared memory could indicates a value of different memory.

• Satellite Pro A60 - CD/DVD works intermittently

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A60, which is two years old. Recently, for some reason, the CD/DVD drive now only plays discs intermittently. I have to insert it several times before it will play. Some play at all.

  I used a disc cleaner lens several times, but it seems that to help on the occasion of the strange - that is to say, a drive can be started immediately after I used the lens cleaner, but this could just be a coincidence.

  I wonder if I need to replace the drive and, if so, how much that would be easy. The computer is out of warranty.

  Thanks a lot for all the helpful tips.

  Ron

  Hey Buddy

  It really looks like a hardware malfunction. Probably the lens of the drive can not calibrate correctly due to mechanical stress for a long time.
  Unfortunately, this anomaly cannot be repaired. The only solution seems to be a replacement of equipment (by car).

  Disc replacement is a little tricky. You know. Not all readers are compatible because of the different master\slave\c-salt settings. With the help of the player is not compatible, you will get #1 error IDE.

  That's why I really recommend contacting ASP in your country and ask the compatible CD/DVD players for your laptop.

  Bye and good luck

• Satellite Pro A60 - screen 'dead '.

  Hi all, hope you can help.

  I have a Satellite Pro A60. I stopped as usual, the other night, when I turned on the machine the next morning, he made all the usual noises, but no screen - just empty (black). I can connect to an external display and it works perfectly, so I know it's just the screen.

  I took it to a local repair place and they asked if I had given up and said that she needed a new screen, 180 lbs please. Thought I'd take the first tips. Certainly, it has not been abandoned or suffered trauma, in fact it barely moves away from my place of work.

  Would it be a fuse or something similar, or screens just die and I'm going to need a new? If she needs a new screen, where can I buy one and it's easy to fit/connect?

  Thank you very much

  Sharon

  Hello Sharon

  I'm really sorry to hear you have such a problem. As already wrote kody, check please if you can see a small image on the screen. If so, there is problem with FL inverter. It is the component of small material placed under the screen and it offers the backlight.

  OK, to buy the new screen is not a problem. You'll find maybe used one and it will be much cheaper than a new one. Replacement is no problem, but this must be done after the disassembly procedure. Talk with your friends. Maybe someone can help you with this.

• Satellite Pro A60-138 PSA65E - cannot boot from c WEIRD

  Hello
  I bought this laptop on ebay, with no cd or manual.

  Satellite Pro A60 GR
  MODEL PSA65E-01K032GR NUMBER

  Hard drive is formatted.
  I tried to install xp, because I start the laptop it just says: "control system.
  Then press [F1]. "If I press F1, it tries to read the cd and gives up after a few seconds.

  If there is no cd in the cd drive there simply nothing.
  I tried to start the bios menu but everything works,(F12,F8,del) key.

  Is there something I can do?
  installing drivers or anything like that?

  Hello

  In order to access the BIOS please press F2, then ESC.
  This should load the BIOS and you can change the boot order there.

  In addition, you can press F12 at the beginning.
  This will allow the menu on the screen where you can choose the STRANGE as a source of start-up.

  But are you able to boot from another CD?
  The CD/DVD drive is unable to read the disc, and therefore the boot process fails

  You could also burn this disc Win XP on another CD and could use the new disk to the start I did with my old laptop because the CD/DVD drive didn't read the old CD.

• Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 Celeron 2.8 GHz, 256 MB of volume?

  Hello

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 and I am pleased with the point, but despite the turn the music full volume and even the windows sounds are very quiet? To me it seems not be significantly quieter than other notebook that I used. This is how the element should work, or would that be a possible problem?

  Thanks for any help or advice you can give.

• Question about the use of the Satellite Pro A60 fan

  Hello

  I intend to get a Satellite Pro A60 and I was wondering how much the fan turns on.

  Could someone comment if the fan turns on when the machine is totally inactive, and how he lights up when the machine is used for word processing and surfing the web?

  For example, when using normally does the fan turn on 1/10th of the time, or 1/2 time etc.?

  Thanks in advance,
  Pete.

  Hello

  Sorry I can't give you specific information about the cooling fan. A60 is known to me. It's a very nice laptop. Cooling vent is in reverse I am a pretty that there is no background noise.

  If you make the decision to buy it, look at what the capacity of the HARD drive is too high and that the DVD-ROM can burn a lot of different formats (DVD Super Multi drive).

  Have lots of fun with it.
