Service manaul for Portege A600 PPA60A
Hello!
Can you please where can I get repair for Portege A600 PPA60A? If it is then how can not possible change HARD drive?
Thank you!
If there is no cover from the HARD drive or HARD drive, then the Base or the top cover will have to remove.
Why do you change the HARD drive? You install a higher capacity drive?
I guess that the laptop is under warranty, so you should get an ASP (authorized service provider) to do it for you then the warranty is not cancelled. According to me, there is a list of the ASP on the site of Toshiba.com.au, in the support section.

Can I order the disk for Portege R400 XP downgrade
Is it possible to order XP downgrade disk for Portege R400?
Hello
I doubt that this is possible.
Your Portege R400 was delivered with preinstalled Vista. Am I wrong?Well, as far as I know there is only one image of Toshiba for this model of laptop and it s only a VISTA 32 bit ULTIMATE.
But of course, you could install the Win XP clean using the MS Windows XP disc.
There is just one small problem; Win XP drivers are not released for the Portege R400 model. I didn t find on the European driver Toshiba page.So, you have to collect the drivers with your own hands

Configuration and closing the new disk for Portege R100
I just set up a new 40 GB HDD in my Portege r100. I think I need to format the disk before that it will work. How to do this please? I downloaded and installed the latest version of the bios
Hello
If the HARD drive is already detected in Windows Explorer, right-click on it and select format. If this isn't the case, you can use programs like Partition Magic or even your recovery CD to do a first formatting. If you use the recovery CD, the OS will install again, so you have to format the HARD drive again with Explorer.
Good bye

Portege A600 Webcam software crashes when changing the settings with the sound muted
I have a problem with XP Toshiba factory build for Portege A600 and Portege R600.
If you try to change the sound properties of the Webcam using the Camera Assistant Software with the sound muted, the camera wizard app will hang & Windows fails to shut down or even stop. The only way to stop is pressed the power button until the machine stops.So far, the only solution I can come to is to increase the volume to zero rather than using the mute box. The problem is if you forget and mute rather than turning down and then try to change the sound properties, its "game over." In addition, it is not really satisfactory because politics is to keep the machines muted until the sound is required.
This does not happen with the Vista Build, build it only XP.
My guess is that this will not happen on any machine using the Chicony Webcam & software with the Realtek HD audio but I have not tried on machines enough yet to be sure. So far, I've recreated on two A600s and a R600. The machines are not defective and you can create the problem, "straight out of the box. Just do the following:
(1) use the provided Toshiba product recovery DVD for restore factory Toshiba Windows XP SP2 version
(2) once you have done the whole stuff, mute
(3) open the Camera Assistant Software application & to select Properties
4) click the audio settings tabThat of all, suspended. The Camera Assistant Software version is 1.7.209.0807L which seems to be the last being available for download on the websites of Toshiba.
Someone has encountered this or have any suggestions?
Hello
I n t have a Portege but U400 with pre-installed and integrated webcam Win XP.
I installed a clean Win XP and then upgraded the XP to the last State and installed all the drivers available from the Toshiba page and possible.I followed the steps in your message and I have to say that I didn t notice strange questions, software webcam still works correctly
I put t know what could be the problem, but I recommend that you check the audio driver to update maybe you can use the Realtek page
Also, check if the BIOS has been updated to the current state and if your Windows XP is up to date. -
Portege A600-133: DVD player disappears from my computer
Hello
I have a laptop Portege A600-133.
First of all, it is slow at the opening of my computer screen.Second: after ejecting a disc dvd or cd, Windows still shows the contents of the disc, the system hangs for a while, a USB unplug sound can be heard and the dvd player disappears from Windows (in my computer / Explorer / Device Manager)
What this may be?
I did already the round of upper/lower filters in the registry, but it does not solve the problem...
I opened the computer laptop and checked the wiring to the dvd drive, cleaned the contacts, supported on the connectors.But the problem is still there...
OS = Windows XP SP3Kind regards
Arjan
Hello
My first idea was to remove the upper and lower registry key filters, but it seems that you have already done this.
Nevertheless, here is a knowledge of MS on the upper and lower filters article mentioned.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-usHmm if the unit is not present in the device manager then this means that the device is not connected or he's dead
You should check if the ODD (optical disc) is recognized in the BIOS.
You should also check if it of possible to boot from the bootable CD.If this is not possible then it may mean that your WEIRD malfunction

Portege A600-12O - impossible to reinstall Windows XP
When reinstalling windows XP on Portege A600-12O, I get following error:
Integrated HARD disk errors: the product recovery CD can not reinstall the operating system.As well, I try to install XP SP2 using Microsoft cd (.. .needless talk without success)...
following error is flashed on the screen:
A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:Hello
In my opinion, the Toshiba Recovery disk error message is very interesting and says a lot. What do you think about this?
If your HARD drive is defective, you need a new and you are not able to reinstall the OS. Maybe your HARD drive needs to be exchanged.
In your case I would contact an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and if it of under warranty, you should get a new HARD drive for free.
Welcome them

Portege A600-13D - webcam stopped working
Hello
I have a Netbook Toshiba Portege A600-13D old, I am very satisfied with it, but lately the WEBCAM does not work and I have no idea what to do. If I try to activate the camera, I have the answer:
The WEB camera could not been initialized
Systemcontrol is the message:
The camera could not been started, Code 10
If I look at the driver and try to update, the message is:
The optimal driver is already installed
Maybe someone has an idea of what I can do and how to proceed. Sorry my bad English!
Thanks in advance and best regards
gh_1929Hello
Error code 10 means that the device could not start.
This may be related to driver problem (software), but also hardware problem.Let's see if its a software issue: check that I recommend you to uninstall the software for a Chicony webcam first.
As far as I know, you should be able to uninstall the software in the control panel? programs & features.
In the case of the Chicony webcam software is not listed here, go to Device Manager and uninstall the webcam driver which you should find in imaging devices.After the system restart, go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download Chicony webcam software to perform the new installation.
You will probably need to restart the laptop once more to make it work properly.So lets hope that this accelerated procedure would solve your problem of course that if the problem is related to the problem of software.
