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 ;)

  • 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: Wireless router Questions

    Hi all
    I am a novice computer, sorry for my lack of knowledge. I just bought a BT Voyager router for Satellite Pro A60 mt, but can't seem to make it work!

    I was told that my Sat Pro has a built-in wireless inbulit receiver? (If yes how I turn it on?)
    When I conect the router to the phone line saying all the lights on the router everything is ok... but when I try to go to the line, NOTHING!

    Please can someone help me... ???

    Hello

    I checked the properties of the Satellite Pro A60 and it seems that the WiFi card is optional on this unit.
    In this case, you should check in Device Manager if the minPCI wireless network card is properly installed on your machine.
    On the right side of the laptop, you will find a switch ON / OFF wireless. If the wireless network adapter is enabled, the led at the front lights.

    Now something on the router. Each WLan router typically has an own software installation package. There should also be an instruction how to manage the router.
    You should check the router instruction

  • 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 - 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 and I am pleased with the point, but despite the turn the music full volume and even the windows sounds are very quiet? To me it seems not be significantly quieter than other notebook that I used. This is how the element should work, or would that be a possible problem?

  • 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: what RAM should I take?

    Hello.
    I have a Satellite Pro A60 P4 532, with the following:
    3.06 GHz/XP Pro/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/DVD-CDRW/LAN/WiFi

    I want to add memory (256 MB).
    On the web site of Toshiba, they lead me to the PA3127U - 1 M 25 (DDR PC2100), but I see that for almost similar laptops they offer the PA3311U - 1 M 25 (PC2700 DDR)

    * 256 MB DDR PC2100 (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
    -P4 532 (3.06 GHz) / XP Pro/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/DVD-CDRW/LAN/WiFi
    -Celeron D335 (2.8 GHz) / XP Home/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/CD-RW/DVD-LAN

    * 256 MB DDR PC2700 (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    -P4 532 (3.06 GHz) / XP Pro/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/DVD-CDRW/LAN

    -Celeron D335 (2.8 GHz) / XP Pro/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/CD-RW/DVD-LAN

    Can I take the PC2700?
    Not for the best performance, but it is cheaper!

    In addition, it is the same problem with 512 MB...

    Thank you

    Hello

    Yes, you can take PA3311U - 1 M 25 (PC2700 DDR).

  • Satellite Pro A60 and Port Replicator

    I JUST BOUGHT A SATELLITE PRO A60 AND USB2 PORT REPLICATOR. WHEN I ATTACH MY LASERJET 1100 AND PRINT A TEST PAGE IT PRINTS WELL BUT IF I PRINT A WORD DOCUMENT IT RELEASED FOR EXAMPLE GOGGLEDYGOOK. CAN YOU HELP ME?

    Hello

    I understand your problem in this way.

    You have connected the printer via Port Replicator ports for the A60 SatPro.

    Œuvres driver and so on correctly because the test page can be printed. But when you want to print from Word the printer isn't or what do you mean by "GOGGLEDYGOOK".

    Could you describe a little more detailly and give us some more information like Toshiba shipped OS or MS based installation, Service Pack installed, the name of the printer and so on...

    When you want to validate this information, it would be easier to help you!
