Satellite Pro A60 with departure problems and weird sounds

Hi all
Three days ago, as I was using my laptop as usual. Then I restarted and then... just a black screen with an error message does not find a file any (I don't remember exactly) and making some weird sounds (such as the ' clicks')... sounds came the HARD drive I think because it's the right hand...
I turned off it again and then some other error message (the black screen, white letters) asking for a file system... and weird sounds continued.
tried twice... same thing... then after 20 minutes after being off of I it works... no error messages... but a long wait to get through the initialization of windows...
now no more problem reboot... not more weird sounds, but with some performance issues... it has 1.2 GB of RAM and seems like he 'lost' speed... I can't use my iTUNES to listen to music cos is not working properly... I am now using winamp...

Comments please... I got appreaciate it...

Hi Luis

On this path, it is not easy to tell what's happening. On this forum you will find several comments on missing files in the startup.

You can try as a first step to restore the operating system on time earlier (before this problem started) by using the System Restore tool.

  • 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 video Capture problems

    I have the following system:

    Toshiba A60 laptop Pro satellite
    CPU - AMD 2.8 Ghz
    RAM - 768 MB
    OS - XP Pro SP2

    All other system requirements as indicated by the Dazzle DVC90 USB 2.0 capture card are met.

    I use Pinnacle Studio 9.4 update to capture VCR.

    Problem:

    When I plug the DVC90 to my laptop, I get nothing on the preview window. I have it set to capture as quality DVD Mpeg. But I don't see a gray screen when I look at the overview. I click start capture, the timer starts but no capture is made, either by audio or video.

    I checked all the settings. They all seem to be fine. My friend tried the capture card USB with exactly the same settings and connection on his desktop PC and it worked perfectly. The specification of his PC is similar to my laptop. Is it a familiar fault with video capture on laptops?

    I'd appreciate it if someone could help me with these problems.

    Thank you very much

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Have you checked in your Pinnacle capture settings that is not failing to the incorrect entry (rather than Composite, S-video). Obviously the value specified must match your connectivity of material allowing to receive a video signal.

    I think that it is also possible to disable the capture preview screen to minimize the risk of frame drops. Please check that you have the active video preview.

    This document describes how to upgrade the BIOS. The update of the BIOS should help solve this problem. Take a peek inside.

    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.

  • 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!

  • Satellite Pro A60-832: sometimes the OS starts without sound and modem

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite Pro A60-832. Everything works perfectly, but sometimes my system starts without sound. When this happends, modem also does not work. After reboot, everything works well again. I integrate Windows XP Pro SP2, but the same thing was happening with the original Windows XP Pro SP1 provided in the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    Any ideas?

    Sorry for my bad English.

    As mentioned, a high temperature might be responsible for these drop-outs, but I n t think that there is a problem in your case.
    I think that the temperature cannot be very high immediately after the start of the laptop.

    In case I would recommend comparing the BIOS installed on the unit you with available on the Toshiba page BIOS.
    If there is a new version of the BIOS so you can try to update.
    But be sure you use the good BIOS and the proper procedure.

  • 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 A200] - slow when problems of transfer and the warmth of the data.

    Hi people.

    I have a 1.5 years old Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 with 200 GB HARD drive standard. For some time, his behavior is just... weird.

    Sometimes the system slows down. She behaves just slow, it freezes frequently for a second when simple tasks such as entering the text. It; s busiest during intensive data transfers (e.g. copy files via FTP from my copy of the USB or LAN), but sometimes it happens even when no application other than Firefox does. It is not apparent, so I wonder - service it will take in terms of warranty (which means - is there a probability that you will say that everything is perfect and charge me for it?)
    The computer was once on the repair under warranty, they replaced the HARD drive with another. Is it possible that the other has problems as well (check S.M.A.R.T. discovers nothing). Or is it maybe faulty SATA controller?

    Another thing is the temperature. During the normal work (Internet, MS Word) two hearts runs at 60 * C. When the set temperature may exceed 90 * C and the computer sometimes shuts down. I guess the problem is dust accumulated inside the laptop but I do not see how can I clean.

    Go to the service of this kind of problems?

    Virus scanners can slow a system down considerably, what antivirus do you use?

    If you have a lot of programs installed, perhaps its time to back up your data and reinstall Windows. I do it myself every year since Windows tends to become bloated and slow after a while.

    With respect to the dust, you can Sauté using a can of compressed Air sprayed through the main entrance of air (when the system is off).
    Or if dust is really bad, you will need to send it to a Service provider authorized to do so and cleaned disassembled.

  • 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.
