• 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.

• Re: Satellite Pro A60 - PCMCIA WLAN card does not question CardBus

  I received an A60 to upgrade for a friend and one of the necessary things is a wireless card.

  I got a 32-bit cardbus card but when I insert into the laptop, nothing happens. XP does not recognize, the oo lights do not come on the map.
  First I thought it was a faulty card but I tried other cards and get the same results and I reinstalled XP and all the drivers but nothing.

  I've seen other messages on the change of the mode in the BIOS, but there is no mention of the CardBus in the BIOS.
  The laptop uses the BIOS version 1.9. I just want to check is there something escapes me or the CardBus location just does not work?

  Hello

  Satellite Pro A60 was equipped with the 32-bit and 16-bit PCMCIA slot that supports PCMCIA card * Type-II * only!

  Have you used the * PCMCIA Type-II card?

  Perhaps you have used is not compatible PCMCIA card, you should check this first!

• Satellite Pro A60: Upgrade CPU Questions

  I took my laptop apart before, and I remember that I was able to remove the CPU.
  My A60 is the lower part of the range as far as I KNOW, 2.8 ghz Celeron, 40GB HDD and DVD-ROM/CD-RW. I've since added 512 MB of RAM and a LiteOn DVD +-RW drive.
  What type of CPU would be a direct exchange?
  I was looking at my manual, A60 were sold with P4 3.06 GHz.

  I would be able to put in a 533FSB, 3.06 GHz in my laptop?

  Thank you

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite Pro A60 was delivered with these processors:
  Mobile-Intel-Pentium 4 processor - HT 518 (2.8 G), 532 (3.06 G) CPU, CPU 538 (3.2 G)
  Intel-Celeron CPU CPU CPU CPU 350 (3.2 G) 345(3.066G) 340(2.93G) 335(2.8G)

  So in this case, I think that you can only use these processors

• Satellite Pro A60: Wireless router Questions

  Hi all
  I am a novice computer, sorry for my lack of knowledge. I just bought a BT Voyager router for Satellite Pro A60 mt, but can't seem to make it work!

  I was told that my Sat Pro has a built-in wireless inbulit receiver? (If yes how I turn it on?)
  When I conect the router to the phone line saying all the lights on the router everything is ok... but when I try to go to the line, NOTHING!

  Please can someone help me... ???

  Hello

  I checked the properties of the Satellite Pro A60 and it seems that the WiFi card is optional on this unit.
  In this case, you should check in Device Manager if the minPCI wireless network card is properly installed on your machine.
  On the right side of the laptop, you will find a switch ON / OFF wireless. If the wireless network adapter is enabled, the led at the front lights.

  Now something on the router. Each WLan router typically has an own software installation package. There should also be an instruction how to manage the router.
  You should check the router instruction

• 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.

• Satellite Pro A60 - installed Belkin Wireless but can't find a wireless adapter

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A60, and late last year, I restored the disk hard as he saw all sorts of questions. After that it worked fine, everything fine, reinstalled outside the wireless card. I tried several times to reinstall my Belkin Wireless PCI card that slots on the side, but when I do (using the Belkin internet software make sure is the right one) it comes up saying ' found Incompatible driver version. Failed to load the application '.
  After restoring I reloaded the stuff about the tools and utilities disk (most of it anyway and all relevant esp network), after that I reloaded XP SP2 (would I have done that first?) Is this the problem?)

  Belkin card tells me that I have no adapters (huh?) but when I go to the information system there is no problem of devices and Im not really sure whats missing - clearly something is but that? Im not great with computers so would really appreciate the help!

  The device manager didn't show any problem devices.
  But the installed wireless card has been published in the device under network adapters Manager?

  The Toshiba recovery image contains a Wlan card and software driver Atheros Wlan Card. It is perhaps a reason for the problem, try to remove this software from the operating system.

  However, for me it looks like you used any compatible WLan card
  I discovered that the Atheros AR5001X Wlan card could be compatible

  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: Blue error screen

  I got my satellite pro A60 laptop for about 6 months and, recently, a blue screen started flashing up to white writing scrolling down really fast and then the laptop restarts. I don't have the time to read what says the writing of this article. Can someone give me advice on what this could be and how to solve the problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Well, the simple is to reinstall the operating system. But if you wish, you can disable the function of Windows Xp to automatically read this massage of error on reboot.
  Go to system in Control Panel. Then the Advanced tab. In the announcement of the Startup Recovery section press set button. You need to disable the option automatically reboot.
  But it of very difficult to understand the error blue screen for ordinary users.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A60-221 - how to reflash the BIOS?

  Hello

  I was installing a new fresh OS on a Satellite Pro A60-221(PSA65E-02E03TFR), I wanted to take it seriously, so I tried to update the BIOS. I used the program given by Toshiba in a zip file: bios - 20070808110029.zip, the program is called: Osaka20V190.exe.
  I run it, in the end, the computer turned off, so I reboot it. Since then the computer do 4 beeps, 1 long 1 short 1 long anda the last short I think that the shutdown of the computer itself.

  So I think that I should have made a huge mistake (perhaps because that I run Osaka20V190.exe directly in the zipfile whithout put on the desktop for example, stupid, stupid, stupid...), and my question is:
  Is it possible to Flash the bios to the default without having to start the computer? As in a motherboard, you can put a jumper between the two pins?

  If the answer is already in this forum, I'm really sorry to bother you, I searched in the pro A60 series but could not find.

  Best regards.

  Hi hyeud,

  > maybe because that I run Osaka20V190.exe directly in the file zip whithout to put it on the desktop for example
  Yes, generally all the files of zip archive must be extracted first before starting the update, but now it s too late

  Such a reflash BIOS what you hear can only be initiated because on the Toshiba authorised service provider Web site, you can download a Windows based BIOS update.

  To contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. Guys can you help you get rid of this problem. :)

• Cannot start WXP installed on my Satellite Pro A60

  Hello

  I just got a Satellite Pro A60 of second hand. He had installed xp pro, but I did have no password. , so I formatted the drive and made two partitions. There are 30 GB and the other approximately 7 GB.

  I tried to install a WXP Pro copy that has worked for me before, but he would not complete the installation. Now, I have a Toshiba Recovery disk. When I use the recovery CD, the installation goes fine, but when its full and restarts, the laptop does not start in Windows.

  He comes to Toshiba screen twice then WXP logo appears for a moment about 10 seconds or more, then go back to the f8 screen. Last time, he said it could be due to a hardware change with these lists of 'safe mode' options, safe mode with command prompt mode implementation network, security, last known good configuration. I tried all the but still cannot boot into windows.

  The hard drive has the files I used l-soft active@killdisk unerasor tools, change password and partition Viewer, I could see the file system of windows etc. Laptop has 512 MB RAM, 40 GB drive HARD, Celeron.

  I just updated the bios to V1.90 by CD-ROM. Please can someone help me?
  Thank you

  Hello

  You have installed the operating system from the recovery CD Toshiba but have you used the original Toshiba comes with this laptop recovery CD?

  The BSOD appears mainly due to hardware failure or the software flaw serious
  The Toshiba Recovery CD contains all the drivers needed and tools, but if you use a recovery CD badly the pre-installed drivers can cause the error and BSOD could appears.

  However if some hardware like the memory module or the graphics card is damaged the BSOD are included also.

• ATI error and no windows - Satellite Pro A60

  Hello

  When I start my computer, I get a blue error screen c0000415
  A quick google reveals that this is one of these: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832324

  "So what are you bothering? I hear you cry - the problem I have is, in getting this error of the other (also the ATI card based) I stuck my red disc in and erased everything - including the windows... and CFLA error occurs before windows installs and SafeMode (-that worked perfectly before) does not work because windows is not installed!

  Oh the fun.

  "I think it's a hardware error" - Yes so don't I... However, before the reinstall and get it back, I could work to the computer in safe mode and videos played very well with the resolution and full color. Am I missing the point if I think a video work is an indicator of a working video card?

  I admit that I'm perplexed indeed. I'll try to dig up an old Windows 98 drive, but I don't know how much this will help, because the only copy of XP I have is on the recovery disk... [Return to step 1]

  Any suggestions much appreciated - thanks in advance...

  [it's a satellite pro A60 w / 256 +?] RAM, processor celeron 2.8 Ghz, ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 etc...]

  Hello

  As suggested in document of Microsoft this problem can occur if an ATI Radeon 7200 graphics card has been installed on your computer and the driver that is supplied with this adapter may not work correctly with Windows XP.
  The installation of SP2 should help.

  This statement of Ms. says it all! It of not a hardware problem but it is a compatibility issue with Windows XP (without SP2) and the driver radeon ATI 7200.

  You should try to get an original CD of Windows XP with or without SP2.
  The software callednLiteallows you to create a Windows clean boot CD and add the patches MS and service packs for this CD.

  Then, you can try to boot this CD and after installing the OS, you need to update or change the graphics driver!
