• Equium A60-199 randomly shutting down - could it be overheating issue

  Hi, I am writing on behalf of a friend who knows his laptop A60 closing unexpectedlly... (she says that he stopped after a few minutes, or when she tried to open Firefox)

  Details of system
  Toshiba Equium A60-199 Model No.: PSA67E-00J00C8J
  18 GB free & 19 GB used
  512 MB OF RAM
  CPU Celeron 2.93GH

  Running Windows XP Home
  NIS 2006

  I took a look at distance and was about 30 minutes without any problem using FF logmeinitreach... There was nothing showing in the event log manager, for the time of day, that it would close down all before... so I was wondering if it is a faulty power supply?

  Everythng is going on well just clicked on the analysis of complete system of Norton Internet security which has not been run in a long time and the PC, stop NOW, it will not restart everything. ??

  Apparently she can hear some buzzing but nothing happens... (which I think might well be the blow fan)

  Advised her to let a little and about 2 hours later, she was able to turn it back on... I wonder if it could be overheating. ??

  Apparently he is 3/4 months than what was going on then ceased to happen and started again...

  Please can you give me some advice on how to clean it - other than to take it to a hardware shop

  I downloaded the A60 user manual and have themselves asked to confirm what show the lights - in an attempt to check overheating
  is the question...

  I've also read online "you can spray compressed air into the gills of admission but not airflow vents to help get rid of the dust and debris." I have looked at the manual and can see 2 lots of mouths... It is on the side and the other on the bottom, is e eintake the one on the side? I literally direct the air on side air intakes and the spray?

  When you ask him if she knows that when the fan is always, sometimes on, never an etc. she was thinking ot is ALWAYS on... who'd show up again overheating...

  Please notify

  Hello Cathy

  I also believe that the sudden stops are the result of overheating. If the dust is blocking cooling air flow grill is blocked and material can reach the critical temperature of material very fast. Sometimes you can start any application pre-installed, the CPU usage goes to the next level and laptop will suddenly stop.

  The laptop should be cleaned as soon as possible. If you have no experience with the disassembly procedure I recommend you contact the closest service and the laptop must be cleaned on professional way. It costs a little bit, but you can be sure that you use Notepad for a longer period of time.

  If you need the addresses and phone numbers to contact the ASP (authorized service provider) please visit http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  Bye and good luck!

• Equium A60-199: question on the colors of the button power/powerlight

  I was wondering if someone could explain why the power button on my Equium A60-199 changed from its usual blue to a Pink/Purple mix, and also why usually green power light on the front of the laptop has changed to amber.

  Thank you.

  If the powerbutton is Pink/Purple and your amber powerlight, that means that your machine is in mode. This happens usually when the computer has been configured with a power that leaves your machine goes mode sleep after using only not in a period of time.

  Or you have vista and click on the button in the Startmenu which supposedly should stop the machine but rather switch to standby.

  That's all.

• Equium A60-199 is not play or recognize any type of cd or dvd

  Hi all

  It's the first time I was in the unfortunate duty position post one problem-normally I can find a solution here and just fix it myself!
  I have an a60-199 on windows XP Home Edition. It is about 18 months and unfortunately out of warranty. The issue I'm having is that the cd rom drive (a carpet * s uj-830) is not play or recognize any type of cd or dvd. Finally, I used about a week ago and have tried resetting the system to forward, then nothing works.

  I also tried the suggestion of microsoft to change IDE transfer parameters, and that no longer works. When I put a disk in it turns three times and the light on the cd drive flashes, but he can't find anything, and I get the message ' d: / is not accessible. the request could not be performed because of an i/o error "I also websearched that but found nothing else than the suggestions above that has not worked."

  Is it possible that the link between the motherboard and cd rom to be broken yet light and spinning cd happen? I am completely confused and would like to have suggestions from anyone!

  Thanks in advance,
  Fyldelass.

  Hello

  Don't reset the system how you used recovery media to set to factory settings? If so, I think that there must be a hardware malfunction. The drive has power and I think that the problem is not connection but damaged drive.

  The drive is original and also compatible with this unit. The assignment of pins is just. Before trying anything, you can try to remove the disc and check the contacts. Maybe they should be cleaned. If nothing helps, I presume that the replacement should be performed.

• Equium A60 - 199: ITunes and Mat * a UJ - 830 s (error 4280)

  I can't burn CDs on my laptop. This has never before been a problem, but recently, no matter what type of burning software I use, I can't burn it to a cd. I am currently using ITunes version 6 and after the burning process starts my computer ejects the cd and I get error 4280.

  I read a few different posts on this on other forums that give suggests using different CD to re - install an older version of Itunes (I am currently using v6), but the most interesting seemed to come on the Hewlett-Packard support site. They suggest the cd configuration folder and edit the file gcdrtype.cfg. It was there is place for a certain type of desktop compaq presario pc and turns to advise to change a line in the story, save and reboot and voila. The problem should be solved. Since I own a Toshiba a60-199 finalis I wonder if anyone knows a fix/solution similar to the problem.

  I'm also intrigued by the following message which produces CD Itunes diagnostics when I run:

  IDE\DiskFUJITSU_MHT2040AT___00 22___, Type of ATA Bus, Bus address [0,0]
  IDE\CdRomMAT * A_DVD-RAM_UJ - 830S___1.50___, Type of ATA Bus, Bus address [0,0]
  If you have several drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these discs can interfere with each other.
  Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, visit the support for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

  It is the root of my problem? How can I get this update?

  If anyone can guide me in the right direction to solve my problem and return me to cd burning sky, I would be very grateful.

  Hello

  It is still very problematic if you use some, ion my opinion, the "exotic" software I noticed that most of the users on this forum use applications 'standards' as NERO burning ROM.

  If no one can give you an answer try to contact ITunes support and explain the situation. They have enough experience with own products. Also check if there is any FAQ page. Sorry, but I can't tell you anything that can help.

• Satellite A60-199 - memory upgrade questions

  I have a Satellite A60-199 and you want to increase the RAM to 512 MB.
  Is this possible and if so how much memory can I put in

  Mike hills

  The brochure says that you can install a 1 GB module in the memory slot. There is only one slot, you can install memory.

  So if there are 256MB onboard, you can increase the total 1.25 GB memory

• Strange white line on screen Equium A60

  Does anyone know why a strange white vertical line appeared on my screen A60? We off fragmented, a virus scan and a cleaning disc then the line appeared about an hour after.

  That this has something to do with it? Should I install the product recovery disc? We did this a few months back, re - install too often cause damage? The line is present as soon as the screen lights up, i.e. Toshiba start screen.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  Hello

  first of all, no, system reinstallation will not damage anything.

  As you say the line appears directly after start-up the machine, the problem must be hardware related.
  Check if the problem is also on an external monitor.
  If not, the LCD is faulty.
  If so, the problem may be the graphics chip.

  Anyway, you cannot do anything alone, in order to take the laptop to a service provider.

  Good bye

• Re: Equium A60-199 stops intermittently

  Hi, hope you could help me with a problem iv been with my laptop recently, it seems to go off at different stages.

  prechecks-

  1. take battery out and running AC adapter (problem)
  2 changed a work known and verified adapter adapter (problem)

  -(la première fois après avoir nettoyer l'ordinateur portable démarré dans windows et était très bien pour environ 15 minutes, il éteint puis quand le ventilateur semblait venir?)

  I read on the internet that it could be an overheating problem, and the fan is may be defective.

  What I've done so far-

  1. clean the air vents with a jet of air to remove all dust (just a little came out, but not much)

  2. laptop computer disassembled and checked for dust in the heat sink for - no dust to clean (internal parts all seem to own)

  _Other info_ - lights at the front of the laptop (battery and taking pictures) turn on and turn off every 5 seconds.

  If anyone knows anything else I can try, I would be grateful

  Phil

  > I read on the internet that it could be an overheating problem, and the fan is may be defective.
  Yes, your problem sounds described as overheating but it can not happen because the fan is defective but because dust and debris to prevent cooling modules work correctly.
  The vents may be blocked, and the fans might not run with full speed.

  In this case, that the cooling modules must be cleaned I did several times because my portable temperature has increased at a higher level
  I used the jet of compressed air, you can buy it in the shops of computers or some online dealers

  I removed the dust from the fans and after this short intervention and cooling grids, the laptop runs more quiet and faster

• Constant rebooting with blue screen - Satellite A60 332

  I have a Satellite A60-332 for topic a little more than two years now, recently, I noticed two major problems which I did not have time to run to the top:

  1. sometimes the laptop restarts just by itself for no reason. When I'm working, a blue screen with white text pops up for half a second and restart the system. Rarely another question occurs after that it will not restart but will be beep like crazy.

  2. I've had this problem since I bought my laptop; Sometimes the laptop won't play audio. What happens is after turning on the system; If the audio does not work: all the 'switches' in the volume control window will be present (wave, cd player, to the, telephone line, etc.). But sometimes when the audio does not work it just shows three switches, not more.

  I've had these two problems for a while now, and I've reformatted my computer at least 5 times since I bought it, these problems never go away.

  I also had another question; my hard drive is the 30 GB supplied with Toshiba. I tried to upgrade, but heard that most laptops, including Toshiba, have a hidden partition on the hard disk called a tatoo, that is when some of the system files are stored so that when you run the recovery discs, they function properly. Can anyone confirm this because, of course, is not a pull & pop work to install a new hard drive, because I won't be able to copy this tatoo.

  Many thanks for any help in advance.

  Hello

  1.) BSOD appears mainly due to the failure of the serious software or hardware failure. The laptop could also automatically stopped due to overheating. In this case, you should check your fans and clean if possible with the vacuum cleaner. But be careful. If it won't work not then test the operating system with the new installation of the OS. Perhaps a 3rd party software is a bad influence.
  In addition, check if the device uses the latest version of the BIOS. If this is not the case, the update.

  2.) don t know why this happens but maybe due to overheating mentioned.
  However, you could try reinstalling the audio driver.

  3.) sometimes laptops come with the Qosmio player or express media player. These players are installed on the hidden partition. I don t think that there could be another reason for hidden partitions.

• Re: Screen Equium A200 is low

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium A200 computer laptop with a dark screen. I changed the inverter and the screen but the image is
  always off.
  I came to the conclusion that near the lid switch was defective but have disassembled the laptop and can't find for the life of me, there.

  I'm going blind or this laptop isn't one - which I thought unusual.

  Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance.

  Can I ask you why you came to this conclusion?
  Your screen is completely black?

  For me it makes no sense to the search and replacing any lid close switch if the screen is small
  I think she s inverter question even a FL. It could also be a display problem, but I m not 100% sure

  Perhaps you have not installed the FL inverter correctly or maybe you used a bad part

  I think you should contact the laptop technician to find out what's going wrong with your laptop!

• White/brown-ish vertical line on the screen (Equium L20)

  Hello
  I bought Equium L20 Currys January 2, 2006. Two weeks after that I noticed there is a thick white or sometimes brown-ish is placed vertically on the filter. This line is displayed when starting, well it used to, but now, sometimes even when I watch movies or surf the net, angling is just appeared not where. I don't know what the problem with it... someone help me please. Should I take it back to Currys and replace it with a new? I really don't want to do that because I have to start this computer from scratch. Thank you.

  Hi Muraidi,

  If this problem originally occurred during the startup of your system, then I think that maybe it's hardware related so I would definitely stay the Curry for her laptop to be investigated, it is still covered by the warranty.

  You can, of course, make a backup of your data before do you.

  Kind regards

• Memory graphic question Equium EA60-199

  Hey there,

  I just added a new 512 DDR SO-DIMM for my laptop, and I wanted to know if it was possible to increase the allocation of memory.

  I currently have an ATi Mobility Radeon with 64 MB, but I wanted to increase this to 128 or 256 MB. I read the previous posts on this topic, and they all say I need to use what is called the UMA in the Bios.

  I checked the two pages of the Bios and there is nothing that relates to this. I tried to update my Bios but I can't get the. ISO file to a DVD using the recommended prgrams.

  If anyone can help me, I'd be grateful čery.

  Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  The UMA (Unified Memory Architecture) setting is displayed in the first configuration of the BIOS page (assuming a Phoenix BIOS). The normal range of allowances is 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB (default) and 128 MB.

  Check which BIOS provider you have on your A60. The award of the AMU can be called something else or may be set at 64 MB.

• White freeze screen Equium

  My friend and I have the same laptop computer satellite and the same problem whenever it starts.
  In a few minutes the screen goes all white and I need to bring up the Task Manager and close Internet Explorer (3 - 4 times) to close.
  This happens every time after startup, even on two laptops.

  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  Hello

  Have you tried to view the driver update?
  Do this!

  It seems that this only occurs using IE.
  As for the use of other internet browsers?
  Maybe try firefox IE freezes and crashes, and this could be the reason for this white screen problem.
