• 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 would not work XP, but is fine with W2k

  I bought my A60 as last year, worked well but oneday froze, tried to reinstall the OS using the product recovery disc. the procedure went very well and asked for a restart, but on reboot it froze again, I tried Pro Rec disc a few times, but with the same result.

  Then I tried the fresh xp copy that also froze before installing the files. I am now using windows 2000 which seem 2 ran fine for a few weeks, but now I have no volume.
  I have triede pilot plant but it still would not come. If im use it without volume, but I can't understand why would he not let me install the product or Win XP Recovery disk but would allow win2000 but without volume.

  Please help me, thank you very much

  Hello

  It is very strange that this unit freeze after the installation of recovery. Please remember that no external devices are connected to the unit when you do this.
  It will also be interesting if you have upgraded from memory.

  Before using the recovery installation CD you can also try to set default values in the BIOS.

• Satellite Pro A60: TV S-VHS on does not work

  I have a Satellite Pro a60 and I'm pulling out my S-VHS to function... This does not work very well.

  I connected all the cables right and right click on the desktop, again choose preferences, then on Preferences, but I can't find anything on the transmission of the video signal.

  I have not though as the configuration standard of Toshiba, but that shouldn't matter. I'm running WinXP SE, but the drivers for my card ATI is about two years old and I can not find a suitable one anywhere, this is the problem, or should I program utility ATI?

  Best regards!

  Hello

  You should also check the TV settings. You must choose the right channel.
  As in the previous announcement suggested, you can change the display device using the FN + F9 key combination.
  If you want to play the DVD with the WinDVD player for example if you first need to change the output of the TV and then start the WinDVD.

• 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 Wireless connection problem

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A60 which was connected to our main office using a Linksys Home Wireless - G USB adapt to I can share files and also connect to our connection broadband. The main office is connected directly to a G from Linksys home wireless gateway. It worked fine then for no reason (no settings have been changed or installed software) the laptop does not connect to the desktop or the internet. The software Linksys says that it is connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found. Even if he says that it is connected I can't get to the desktop.

  I tried to set up a dial-up connection independent for updating drivers etc, but after the normal dial tones, he says that it cannot connect to the remote computer.

  We tried everything that we think would be grateful for any ideas. Please speak slowly and distinctly also even if I know a little technical jargon computers is a language that I'm not still commonly!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  It's really not easy to say what can be the problem. In my opinion, you must remove all the settings and adapter WLAN Device Manager. Restart the unit, reinstall the wireless card and make a WLAN configuration again.

  In my opinion, it is very important to know if the WIFI network of the device works correctly, and if you are able to share files between the laptop and our main office. If it works properly again check the settings on our front door.

  One is the problem with Notepad or another device. If someone of your friends has a WIFI at home, you can try to check the laptop WIFI functionality. On this way, you can be sure that if the problem is caused by your Satellite Pro.

  If you find a solution please let me know what the problem is.

  Good luck!

  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 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.

• 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

• 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!

• 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.

  I tried to watch upodates but frmwre - na .zip was not allowed to work, the D drive was not considered appropriate...

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Hello

  What exactly do you mean? Is the drive does not support content or there is problem if you want to burn data on DVD-R media?

  Can you please explain this a little more carefully?

  Just FYI: I use the empty media TDK almost 5 years and I can say that TDK is very good for this kind of things.
