Satellite Pro A60 just lost power

When WinXP Pro said the battery was down to about 9% (ok, I know, I should have plugged the power supply at this time) that appeared dead, lost power completely. The power supply and then began to beep every 2 seconds. I then tried on another laptop and it works, so it's not the power supply - on this other laptop it works with and without the battery, so I think it can be ruled out of being the culprit.

The A60, I have re-insirted the battery that had worked perfectly still taking on fresh 90mins far - no joy. The strange thing is, is that the PSU makes a sound when the battery is in and out of the A60. My questions are:

(a) the A60 should work without the battery in? in this case, it might be the fault of the laptop itself?
(b) if he still has the battery, if the battery is "spent" and I need a new?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, to my knowledge, it should be possible to use Notepad:
-with battery and AC adapter plugged in,
-removed the battery and plugged the power adapter
-with battery and AC adapter removed.

Maybe the battery is a little older and the performance of the battery will be slowly decreases.
In addition, you suggested that the laptop is shut down if the battery was about 9%.
In this case, you must check the option of saving power Toshiba-> installation actions
You know that you can configure the actions configuration power saver for each power mode.
I guess there is a chosen action that allows the laptop to close if the critical battery power has been obtained.

I think that a simple change in this setting will clearly be the case

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not supply power to the top

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A60 and when I turn on the machine, the lights come on and the fan whirls for about 5 seconds and then the machine just turns off again.

    No matter if I have the battery or HARD drive in or not, the same phenomenon occurs.
    I guess it's problem of CPU or power supply Board, but I don't know.
    Is there anyone else who has had this problem and if so how is it resolved?

    Any help would be appreciated very with gratitude that I am out of warranty and need the laptop when you work from home.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I guess it can be a single processor or card mother related issue.
    If there is something wrong with the power supply for laptop card then the cell phone would not turn on, even for 5 sec.

    But it's only my personal suggestion to make sure what's exactly wrong check specifications should be necessary.

    So I think that a laptop computer technician should check it out.

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not illuminate

    When I try to boot my Toshiba Satellite Pro A60, seems to be powered. A few seconds later, there is a click and it cuts.

    I tried to turn on the computer with just the power supply with the battery removed, just with no power supply and battery and power, but none of these options are making a difference.

    I also tried to clean the fan in the aspirant from the outside by a suction pipe, but even once, it did not help.
    Can help you with the Please this problem?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    Turn the laptop over and unscrew the cover on the ram. Then remove the ram and try to turn it on again. If it lights, put the piston inside the laptop and try again. It does not turn on? Then your ram is dead. If yes then you can replace, or have your asp replace it. If this does not resolve the problem, there is a small plastic cover that runs along the keyboard just above the keyboard. Take this off and then unscrew the fixing screws to the bottom of the keyboard. Under the keyboard, you may have a second RAM slot. If Yes, try to remove the RAM stick and turn. It work? If this isn't the case, you probably have a problem with the motherboard. If it lights fine, then you have found the issue and can replace or continue using it without the extra RAM. Hope this helps and have a nice day.

  • Need latest driver for ATI Radeon 7000 igp - Satellite Pro A60 mobility

    You can access the last display on the web site of Toshiba driver. Just click on the tab Support & downloads (Download Files) and then enter the details of your laptop. You can select all drivers or just the display drivers.

    You can find out what version of BIOS you have by entering the BIOS during the initial power on the process. Just press the ESC key when the TOSHIBA logo appears, and then press F2 to enter the BIOS configuration panels. Make sure you do not make changes to the BIOS settings unless you really want to. :-) As with the details of the driver, you can access the latest version of the BIOS for notebook on the Web from Toshiba-> Support site @ downloads-> update your BIOS, then just enter the details of your laptop.

    Kind regards

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro A60 crashed during the update of the BIOS

    Updating to BIOS ver 1.70 to 1.90 (from Windows XP) my Satellite Pro A60 off without any warnings. After about 5 minutes of waiting I went it. And... computer just several beeps and stops again.
    Anyone has idea what it means? Is it possible to turn it on again?

    Hi Vladimir,.

    I suspect that your BIOS is damaged when your A60 turns off. Unfortunately, this means you A60 are a failure now his POSITION leading to generate failure codes series.

    As Felix said codes tells the Toshiba Service Agent exactly what the problem is so you will need to contact them for assistance.

  • Satellite Pro A60 abandoned. Why?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me why this model is discontinued?

    Satellite Pro A60 - 832:P4 3.2 GHz / XP Pro / TFT 15 "/ 512 MB / 60 GB / DVD-R-RW / LAN"

    No particular reason?

    Hello

    On the reasons for this, we can only guess. I think Toshiba try to be better this business competition. It is just possible trough permanent new products with a hardware configuration different, always new and attractive design.

    In my view, attractive and modern laptops design is very important.
    What do you think of this?

  • 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.

  • 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
