• 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!

• 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

• 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 - 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

• 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!

• Switch wireless on Satellite Pro A60

  I'm trying to connect wireless using services to BT Broadband on my laptop, but fell at the first hurdle. Apparently, there's a switch on the left side of the laptop that must be on to enable a wireless connection. My laptop has room for the switch, but not switch. If anyone can help?

  Hello

  The Satellite notebooks come with a different hardware configuration.
  Sometimes different series use the same notebook covers.

  After a lengthy investigation on the internet I discovered that the Satellite Pro A60 was delivered without the LAN card internal minPCI and it seems that the WiFi network is not extensible.

  It seems that your only option to use WLan on your laptop.
  I advise to use the WLAN USB key or card PCMCIA Wlan.
  I tend to the USB ;)

• 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.

• Satellite Pro A60 failed to connect to the network after the fashion watch

  Satellite Pro A60 running XP Home.

  When I close the lid it goes mode 5000mAh as set upwards. When I lift the lid, I find that I have to restart to re-establish the connection to the internet through the wireless router. When this happens other computers using the same router not disconnected.

  I've heard talk about this but I got lucky and on my Satellite WIFI connection works after minutes again. Have you tried to deactivate and activate the WLAN using FN + F8 key combination?

  Maybe after short toggle the WiFi works again.

  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 A60-221 - 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. :)

• 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 A60-138 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)

  Good bye
