Satellite Pro A60: External monitor Shimmers

I use an A60 Pro of the Satellite with a second screen (tft) as a dual display configuration. There is a very sensitive landscape shimmer that moves on the screen when viewing images or the dark backgrounds on the second monitor.

I tried the monitor on another machine and it is very good, so I can assume there is a problem with the laptop or the ATI graphics card.

If anyone can help me solve this problem, I would be very grateful, because it gives me a headache (literally!).

Looks like you need to change the frequency (refresh rate) with the display settings screen. The internal monitor has a 60 Hz frequency (refresh rate), more external monitors are 80 Hz or 100 Hz. Now if you have the wrong settings of the external monitor will refresh at the same pace as internally, which gives a brilliant image. You must go to the display settings, select the 2nd monitor, goto advanced settings, and then monitor and change the refresh rate to say 100 Hz, try this.

I hope your problem

  • Satellite Pro L300 - external monitor has a yellow tint to the screen

    I have connected a new external monitor to my Sat Pro L300 and the monitor of the station has a strong tinge of yellow to the display.
    I have tried with other monitors and cables and they do the same screen that is yellow.

    Can anyone suggest what I can do, I tried to change all the color settings, but they don't get rid of the yellow tint.
    Thank you.

    Well, maybe this problem is related to the failure of hardware since will have to show common colors without changing the settings in the color settings in the graphics card Control Panel

    In my opinion this s hardware problem
    However, before I ask a technician for advice I recommend updated the BIOS and reinstall the graphics driver.

    Download and update the display of the latest driver and check if it solves the problem or not.

  • 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: strange sound coming from speakers

    Hello.

    My brother has a Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 - my old laptop. However, it has a strange sound question. I wiped it a few months back, and the sound worked fine. However, after a week or two he suddenly started to sound like the speakers were blown out.

    I made the assumption that stakeholders were indeed blown and connected to external speakers - but they made the same noise! I was wondering, this sounds like a card his fries, or a drivers/software error?

    If it is a mistake to sound card, the sound card can be changed?

    Hello

    without changing the card its couldn t, it s on the motherboard and if you want to Exchange, you must exchange the motherboard together.

    First question: did you always guaranteed on this machine?

    Then my suggestion:

    Back up the data on the machine, the recover with the recovery CD and then the noise should be gone. If not, and if you still have warranty on this machine, so it would be better to bring the machine to a service partner for a checkup of material.

    Give some feedback if you have any additional questions.

  • During BIOS update by Satellite Pro A60 went down and did not start

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite Pro A60 and I've updated the bios. To halfway the update, my laptop came down and started Hasna´t since. It only give a couple of beeps (trying to tell me the bios is damaged, I guess) and turns off again.

    Tried to start with (~) key pressed (a tip I received from a friend), but without success.

    I live in a country where there is no available Toshiba dealer and I rather not ship the laptop for repair.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    This doesn't sound good.
    If during the POST, the BIOS detects a problem, it will normally display an error message visual on the monitor explaining what the problem is. However, if a problem is detected before it initializes BIOS video card or a video card is not present or not detected then BIOS will play through the Speaker beeps to let you know there is a problem.
    Depending on the type of BIOS you have the BIOS can play beeps in a specific pattern to indicate what the problem is, or emits the signal even a few times indicating the problem.

    In your case, it is possible to s you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS procedure. Both can damage the motherboard.
    To avoid such damage and mistakes, Toshiba published FAQ document.
    How to upgrade the BIOS on most of the units!

    That you should read before making updates to the BIOS!
    Unfortunately, I n t think that you can fix yourself. I think you should ask to help ASP.

  • 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 PL: message: USB device can run faster

    Hello!

    I have a problem with the USB 2.0 drivers in my Satellite Pro A60 PL. everytime when I connect the message apear theres USB 2.0 device this device can run faster. What can I do about it?

    Hi guys

    I received the same message. It s not an error but a balloon tip Windows.
    I didn't find the reason for this message because my phone supports USB 2.0 ports too and I also connected a USB 2.0 compatible device.

    I've tired to remove the Device Manager, the controllers and the USB hubs and updated the Win XP operating system to the last State. I've also updated the driver chipset but sometimes (not always) this message again using a disc HARD 2.5 USB.

    I read in some professional computer magazines that this message is normal and it might appears with some SATA external USB hard drives. So you can ignore it.
    It s nothing serious.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.
