No sign of starting on my Satellite A60
Hello
I'm trying to fix a SA60 - 108
Model number PSA60ESomeone was playing with the settings on this laptop and now I am unable to get the screen start at all. The computer turns on but the monitor stays black. I'm pretty sure that there is a hardware problem and would like to know what I can do to confirm this. Can I reset while it is trying to load?
I can't even on the page of the Bios for the moment, the screen stays off.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
See you soonHello
Unfortunately there is no official documents on a diagnostic procedure.
But I guess there is something wrong with the display hardware. But I can't tell you where the problem may be. If there is something wrong with the FL-ups if you are a lucky man because this part is not very expensive. The other side if the replacement screen costs a lot of money.
Sorry, but I recommend you contact the service. The expert can give you an appropriate response. -
Satellite A60 - recovery disc won't start plus-disque no bootable error
Hello
I set the boot sequence to boot from the cd, but the message reads: no bootable disk.
I tried to open it with ghost, but looking for a password.
Toshiba Satellite A60.
Hello
First you will not be able to extract the ghost image file because it s set as you could see.
I put t know why you can't boot from the recovery CD Toshiba. But reasons could be:
-The CD is defective (zero, not more readable)
-You used a bad CD
-The CD/DVD drive can not handle this CD because of the lens of the laser drive old and faulty.Then you should check first if you can start on other Microsoft Windows CD to see if the CD/DVD drive is ok.
If it is ok, then there is a problem with your CD! -

Satellite A60 restarts automatically displaying a blue screen
I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 two years old, recently, I noticed a problem where suddenly the computer restarts automatically, in the first, showing a blue screen with white text for a glimpse of a second. Also what difference does update the BIOS?
Hi Mustafa
The blue screen of death appears usually due to hardware failure or serious malfunction of software.
These two issues are possible on your device.
Please see this FAQ Toshiba on disabling automatic Windows XP restart after a system failure:
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5B01770000R01.htmIf the error message appears again, so you can see all the details of this message and then it should be possible to detect the reason why it happens.
PS: Extra, you can try to recover the laptop with the restore CD provided. Maybe this will solve this problem.

Satellite A60 - do not start after power supply fault!
Hello
I know it's a long shot, but here's the situation!
I had a Toshiba Satellite A60 PSA60E for repair.He had the power plug inserted into the back of the case of the break taking, damaging U4 and hit 3 resistors.
I have now replaced the socket, transplanted the resitors counsel doner and welded in a new IC (U4).
Now when I turn on I get the LED illuminating as expected (Inc. that blue on the power button) but nothing on the screen, no fan, no disk buzzing etc away.
Ideally, I would like to try subing cpu etc but don't have any alternative to play with.
If any ideas whatelse could be wrong on that?
Not sure I want to risk the cost of a new motherboard (that they is availible) or that it would be interesting to the replacement of the machine.
Look forward to some good advice
Thanks JonHi Jon
Unfortunately, I n t think that someone here in the forum will give you a precise answer and provide the solution it seems that it s a motherboard problem.
As you know that the computer motherboards are complex parts with many electronic details.
It of impossible to say what could be the problem on the Board without any detailed controls.To my knowledge, card repair mother is not so easy and expensive so you should not pay for the repairs, but buy a new Board of Directors which is covered by the warranty or second hand board which is much cheaper

Satellite A60 memory upgrade does not help
Hi, I have a Satellite A60-793 and I want to upgrade the memory by adding a 512 MB of memory currently installed.
I tried to install a 512 MB DDR PC2700 333 MHz SODIMM module, but the system does not boot to the top: it emits a long whistle blow and then stops automatically. If I remove the module, the system starts properly.
I have already updated my BIOS, I here something more, I can do to make it work?
You simply used bad, faulty or not fully considered supported modules.
Recommend to test it with another new

Satellite A60-217 memory upgrade
Hi, I have a Satellite A60-217 (Intel Pentium IV HT 532, 3.06 GHz), and I want to upgrade the memory by adding a 512 MB of currently installed memory (256 MB with 64 MB shared memory for video card).
I tried to install a S3 + PC2700 DDR SODIMM 512 MB module, but the system does not boot to the top: it emits a long whistle blow and then stops automatically. If I remove the module, the system starts properly.
The manual indicates the speed of the memory supported is only PC2100. Is this true? The module is maybe defective?
Thank you
Hello Stefano
Of course, the added module is not compatible and makes trouble. I found the info, this compatible module PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51).
Google a bit and you will find lots of information on the module with the PA3312U - 1 M 51 part number.

Reinstalling Windows XP Home edition, cannot get into the BIOS (Satellite A60)
I would like to install wxp pro, but I can't in the BIOS, so it will boot from the cd. Is there any way how to?
I have the Satellite A60.
Thank you very much.
sepiloHello sepilo
As Daniel said already, you can enter the BIOS settings using the ESC key at the beginning upward. You can also start the recovery procedure using key C. place the recovery CD in the DVD device, press the power button / stop and hold C button. After a few seconds, the recovery procedure will start automatically.

Satellite A60 and energy saving issues
Hello
I am facing a problem that drives me crazy. After I formatted my laptop and install Windows XP, I'm never able to install Toshiba Power Saver or any kind of Toshiba Utilities. Setup turns on, but after that, it displays an error message (sometimes just sound no message) and it stops.
To be more precise:
I use a Satellite A60-302, with extra addition of 256 MB of RAM. I formatted the C: partition and installed Windows XP Professional (I tried 3 different versions: right XP, XP with integrated SP1, XP with SP2 integrated; just to be sure if the problem was caused by service packs). Then I inserted the CD provided, put in place the ATI card, etc. its pilots respecting order but when it comes to saving energy, the nightmare starts.
I removed the RAM I added and tried the whole installation by the original Setup process, but no change... My hard drives are well checked for any kind of virus, and the installation process was done with the ethernet cable connected to offshore to prevent any possible intrusion.
Funny, I remember setting up Win XP Pro on this machine before 3 months no problem at all. The only significant change since that day is the update of the BIOS from 1.60 to 1.80.
Looks like a "common modules" error but it is not "common modules", on the CD or on the internet.
Finally, I must say that I can't use my recovery CD because it's Windows XP Home Edition in Turkish, but I use Windows XP Professional English provided by my employer.
Any help? I'll be delightened if someone could help me.

Hi sunfury,.
I imagine you're nettled. But there must be a solution to your problem.
You are right. There is no common Modules for this machine. Usually the common Modules, all Toshiba tools depend on. It is the main module.
In your case, it is very important to use a specific order of installation. Normally, you must use the order of Installation set by Toshiba. You can find it on
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/satellite/SA60/win-XP/install_xp_na_en.zip.But there is also another solution. I usually install on this path:
-OS
-chipset + display driver
-audio driver
-fix for... (all)
-one other drivers (modem, LAN etc..)When you want to install the tools of Toshiba try in this order:
-Power Sawer
-Init GST
-TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility
-TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for display
-Other utilities
-TOSHIBA ConsoleIf you want to install SP2, maybe it will be better to do it later. It is also possible that some of the tools after installation of SP2 will not function properly.

Good luck!

Satellite A60: Unable to connect to the internet via a modem - no dial-up
In my Satellite A60, WinXP Home, when I try to connect to the Internet via the modem of Toshiba, I get error 6: handle not valid, and after a few attempts, I get error 50: all devices connected / request not supported.
Device Manager / network / card Asynchronous RAS displays an error (black exclamation point on a yellow background).
The driver is asyncmac.sys = MS Access Remote network serial driver.I have:
-tried to uninstall the RAS asynchronous card, but no luck, didn't say it may be necessary to start
-modem uninstalled / reinstalled
-update of Windows XP through windows update
-update of the bios / modem / network drivers from ToshibaNo luck, the RAS asynchronous card error is still there.
Any suggestion?
Thank you
Alessio - ItalyI think that this problem is Windows XP and map Asynchronous RAS, not the modem.
The modem correctly composed the number, negotiates the user and the password, and then I get error 6 and 50.
On the internet I found this tip for uninstalling and reinstalling the RAS asynchronous card:
http://forums.practicallynetworked.com/showthread.php?t=6781
I followed the instructions and run RArepair.exe.
It uninstalls and reinstalls the map Asynchronous RAS, but RAS is still in error (the yellow field in the Device Manager). -
Satellite A60 - laptop battery not charge/work
Hello
My stop laptop when you use the battery power. It will not re-start until I plugged in to the power supply. Every time I disconnected power laptop would shutdown. laptop does not work on batteries, no lights are working.
When it is plugged seeing orange lights. Battery remains 90% fresh even after hours on departure av! I suggest that I can't use the battery power and the battery won't charge.
Only a new battery in a month and has worked well up until now.I tried toshiba control energy saver but made no difference.
I can't say with certainty if this happens because of the battery or something. In my opinion, it can be either battery or electronic power supply.
Satellite A60's old laptop and everything is possible.Pre-installed software doesn t have a any influence on this. Toshiba power saver is preinstalled to consumption, Manager, with other words to help reduce battery power consumption and longer battery.

Black screen on my satellite A60
Someone help pleae. Downloaded a pack of sevice on my satellite A60 and he did serious damage to a graphics driver... decided to recovery sysem completely... Put the recovery disk in... rebooted, held the key c pressed and nothing happens... it starts up but no display at all... machine very quiet well on... help!
Yes, I had the same thing, but with my satellite P10 (blue one), its still very new and I don't think that the problem was with the battery etc since when I loaded, right after the orange charge turns green after awhile, which indicates its fully charged.
I just played an online game when all of a sudden the laptop instantly closed (it was on the charger ALL the time, but like I said the problem isn't here) then I tried to re - open myh laptop, everything was ok, except the screen, which was black ALL the time, there was no noise which indicated that the laptop did not enter windows.
And as Raym0nd said, my cell phone was a little unusually quiet too...
I hope to get professional help on this. Thank you.
P.S: I realized that, when the laptop is turned off (I played an online game) that the internet connection was not longer working because it has expired. That has affected the laptop, because when you're not online and your game, it closes instantly, the game that is... But I had this situation many times before... Why it is like that now...?
I need help as soon as POSSIBLE... Thank you all very much.

Re: Satellite A60 - overheating problem
Hello
I have some difficulties to adjust temperature and fan on my Satellite A60.
The operating system is Debian and the fan operates at temperatures of 60-65 degrees Celsius (without any process started after the login).
I had installed utilities like toshutils, fancontrol, lm-sensors... but basically I have not found a solution for this:toshiba_acpi #modprobe
Error: No such deviceToshiba #modprobe
Error: No such deviceNow, I ask you advice, please.
If there are no alternative solutions, recompiling the kernel 2.6.24 (or other) is a solution to this problem? If the answer is 'Yes', how to prepare the package source?Now the system works, but not very well at that latitude this question isn't a good prelude to my summer job.
Best regards
HM,
already checked the debian/gentoo/ubuntu forums? Or maybe freshmeat.net where toshutils all appear in their projects?
Unfortunately I can't tell you why the modprobe won´t work but don't you compiled the kernel option ACPI from toshiba? It must be something that controls the trough of explicitly from functions ACPI kernel using the userlevel tools.
By the way: have you read newspapers after trying the modprobe of the listed modules you´ve? Please make the modprobe more 'verbose', there may be something usable...
Welcome them
