• In vain after BIOS update that isn't the Satellite A60 boot

  I have an A60 and I have a problem with it now.
  It does not work. I did a BIOS update and the machine turns off, so I then turned back on it and it is stuck in start mode and would have turned off yet again, so I removed the battery and it exploded.
  Now the machine does not start and no led will indicate.

  Please can someone help?

  HEY Warren,

  Usually, when a BIOS update is interrupted, it causes the CMOS become none-functional chip. This will result in the laptop being unable to start up so that the update can be tried again.

  The only option at this point is to take (or send) the laptop to authorized service center which has the necessary equipment for re-flashing the CMOS with the latest BIOS chip.

  Kind regards

• Can not turn on the Satellite A60

  Hello
  I got the Satellite A60 for a long time. The battery is almost dead so I decided to use the AC power adapter to power the computer. When I try to turn it on it Star and stops in a few seconds. He looks dead, even if dc indicator is green and the battery light is orange. I tried to make it work without the battery, but it does the same thing. Sometimes with a lot of patience it lights, but I really don't know what I did different.
  Can someone please tell me what is this problem and how to solve?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  I think that the battery LED appears orange because the AC adapter is plugged in and the battery charges.
  So, I can't give you a good answer why the laptop cannot start correctly, but one thing is very interesting.
  No passes for laptop, the start screen of Toshiba which appears at the beginning?

  If it is so perhaps there is a hardware failure and the laptop must be verified by ordinary service partner or a technician with experience more as a user like you and me.

  But if the laptop can correctly pass the Toshiba start screen so in my view the files on the HARD drive are corrupt or the HARD disk contains bad sectors.

  In this case, the only way to solve such a problem is the new reinstallation of the operating system.
  I think you should try to boot from the recovery CD Toshiba.

• Temperature CPU of the Satellite A60 Pentium 4 2.80 Ghz

  2 months ago, I bought the Satellite A60. I felt that the temperature of the CPU becomes very high, I downloaded a program that monitors the CPU-temperatur. Especially during the games JAVA the temp was 78 degrees Celsius. What is the normal temperature, and if the temperature is high, what can I do about it?

  Hi Thuder251,

  in my opinion, 78 degrees Celsius is a bit hot for a P4 in a notebook.

  The best way is to put the laptop to your dealer or to a Toshiba Service partner.

  Go to https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com - Support & downloads, you will find a list of all the European partners in Service.

  I would ask him if they can do a stress test and check if the P4 is really hot.

  You are guaranteed and therefore this short assessment should be no problem.

• Replacing hard drive on the Satellite A60-S159

  grateful for the help on the situation of the Hard disk on the Satellite A60-159 and advice on removal and replacement of the HARD disk.

  Hello

  Well, I put t found any blankets or slots at the bottom of the unit. In this case, I think that he must remove the keyboard and some other covers.
  But if the warranty is valid you must contact the ASP for replacement because if you open the Notepad or if you remove the covers you lose the warranty.

• Replacement of the HDD on the Satellite A60

  I have an old Toshiba Satellite A60. The old 30 GB Toshiba HDD (MK3025GAS) died. I bought a 60 GB Toshiba HDD (MK602GAX) as a replacement.

  My problem is that I can't get the bios to see the new drive and start with it. "For the old disk bios dead says under ' built in HDD = Primary IDE (1F0H/IRQ14). With the new HARD drive it says "built on the disk HARD = No. Drive'."

  Using a cd, I installed Ubuntu on the new HARD drive. The ubuntu installation cd sees the new HARD drive and allows me to format it and install Ubuntu. When the installation is complete, and I try to start Ubuntu, nothing happens, and the menu of the Bios still displays "built on the disk HARD = No. Drive'."

  If I run Ubuntu from a cd I can 'explorer' 60 GB HARD drive and see all the installed files of Ubuntu. I can't boot the PC from the HARD disk or just to get the BIOS to recognize his presence.

  I'm a bit confused and don't know what to do. Ideas anyone?

  For me, this looks like a compatibility issue. Unfortunately there is no public document where we can find info on all compatible disks.
  To be honest I m really wondering why the new HARD drive is not recognized correctly. Problem, is that you can not force laptop recognize each RAM or HARD drive.

  What to do now?
  I put t think some update of the BIOS will help so I m afraid you must get a new or another HDD and test if it works or not.
  I presume that this 60 GB HARD disk was not new, right?

• 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 device

  Toshiba #modprobe
  Error: No such device

  Now, 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...

• Satellite A60: charging problem

  Hey,.
  I have a toshiba satellite A60 laptop. My laptop has 2 years. After that I used my laptop in battery mode, it fell because the battery was empty. When I plugged it on the net, the battery led flashed amber for less than a second and went back. The battery and the batteryled came out.

  Windows detects the battery however. The laptop still continues to operate on the battery for a few minutes. I already had this problem about a year ago, and after a few months the battery began to charge again.

  Someone at - it a simular problem and how do you solve?

  Thanks (sorry for the bad English)

  Hello

  Maybe the battery cannot load properly because he has a malfunction.
  Generally, the battery performance decreases the extent of time.
  I read that you can charge and discharge the battery about 500 times and then the performance breaks down.
  You can try to remove the battery for a few times. After this time try to load it.
  I also recommend check if this problem also occurs with a new battery.

  But it is also possible that there is something wrong with the electronic power supply.
  This could have a negative influence on the loading process.
  I also read that the BIOS update have solved some problems of charging the battery.
  But if charging the battery worked for 2 years, so I guess that the BIOS is ok.

  However, check with a new battery.

• Satellite L50D - Boot problems after replacing the hard drive

  I just upgraded my hard drive of the pathetic crod 5400 they provide to a SSHD@7200rpm, but now have a major issue.

  I initially image the operating system from the old hard drive to the new drive and have had chronic start-up problems (1-3-4 attempts to start to succeed if it fails at any time (often to the Toshiba start screen)).

  I reinstalled from a drive under Win 8.1 plain own ENT (trying to avoid the bloatware) and it is exactly the same number and is what I used to format the laptop very well with previously and had previously worked.

  I tried reformatting and reinstalling (by removing all partitions on each attempt) to the CSM, unsafe UEFI and UEFI secure. MCS is a straight line never works not proceed and both UEFI methods have the same exact result.

  I tried with original restore disks and it seems to work (not had time to fully test) but I don't want the bloatware and it shouldn't be serious since, if I were a customer who forgot to make restore disks (too often) and just have to have a failed hard drive or replaced sacrificed the laptop would be now a door stop.

  This seems as bad as Apple to lock people in.

  So I would appreciate ideas of people to please, I don't know if there is a program that is supposed to take place on a new drive as PS3 etc (I doubt it), but that leads me into the wall, and will be the last time that I consider Toshiba as anything other than a joke, if there is no solution.

  I had to replace the hard disks many times in my previous Toshiba laptops and were devoid of this crod, it has something to do with UEFI which seems more a nuisance than a help right now.

  TIA.

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should first check if the startup problem is related to the new installed HARD drive or new installed system.
  You said that the laptop fails to start up often to the Toshiba start screen.

  The splash screen appears during the POST (power on self-test) procedure. During this test, the material will be checked.
  I m wondering if the hybrid SSD/HDD isn't recognised by the BIOS during this particular step.

  From my point of few, this could be the reason why the system cannot be started.

  Another important note:
  The 8.1 win requires enable start secure as well as the UEFI boot mode.
  Therefore, you must enable both options in the BIOS.

  Last but not least check if you are using the latest BIOS version as latest firmware for the hybrid SSD/HDD

• Windows vista on the Satellite A100-036 problems

  Hello. I have a Toshiba satellite A100-036 laptop with windows vista home basic 32-bit, and I have the following problems.

  1. they replace me the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it more because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?

  2. whenever I turn on the laptop touchpad scrolling does not work. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver. If you have installed another pointing PS/2 device driver please uninstall the synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again. You want to uninstall the synaptics driver now? "I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.

  3. whenever I turn on the laptop the bluetooth does not work and the bluetooth icon does not appear in the taskbar. I have to go to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Whenever I turn on the laptop I have to do this.

  4. everytime I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I put in market or the automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

  If you have the Toshiba recovery disc in the past, you can use it as part of the new HARD drive. The Toshiba Recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, which means that you have installed Windows system, Toshiba drivers and additional software.

  > 2. The touchpad scrolling does not work everytime I turn on the laptop. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver.

  > I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.
  Go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the driver for the Synaptics touchpad. Install the touchpad driver and reboot the laptop. Usually, this should solve your problem.

  It's strange. Usually the BT should work if the BT stack has been installed correctly. Please note that you must activate the BT using the fn (FN + F8). This combination turns on and the WiFi also. So make sure you did it correctly.

  Hello

  It seems that your boot record is too bad.
  You need a Windows disk to repair this

  For example Win 7 disc
  If you n t have such drive, ask a friend who could borrow the Win 7 DVD.
  Using the startup disk, and then choose the option "Repair your computer", located in the lower left corner of the screen. Then click on repair and restart and restart again in the Windows 7 System Repair environment.
  When the System Recovery Options is displayed, make sure that use recovery tools that can help solve the problems of Windows startup is selected. Now in the menu list, select the command line option, and in the the DOS prompt type the following three commands:

  Bootrec.exe /fixmbr
  Bootrec.exe /fixboot (may return a not found message "Eliment")
  Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

  Close the command prompt window, and then click the Startup Repair option.
  Now you must wait until the process ends at what point you will see two messages:
  Windows cannot repair this computer automatically and Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. Ignore the Don't Send/don't send options.

  Close this message window (click X in the upper right of the Send/don't send window)
  Then click view advanced options for the recovery option and support system and in the main menu once more click on startup repair.

  This time the repair process can only a few seconds and when prompted the startup repair couldn't detect a problem, click Finish and run the Startup Repair option once more, click on finish, then remove the DVD to repair the system and click on restart.

  Restart the computer. Here :)

• The satellite M60 display problems

  Hello

  I bought a satellite M60 a month ago, and since then, I've been strugling trying to solve a problem that has to do with the display (ATI 700 X mobility).
  When I play some games (the dawn of war, Unreal tournament...) the computer freezes completely, I actually have to force stop it to restart.
  Another problem, that I have seen is with Mixmeister Pro 6, the video playback is erratic, it is as if the computer is unable to handle any overload.

  I tried the upgrade of drivers, nothing works, then I installed the third party Omega drivers, but once again, nothing to do.

  Since the purchase of the M60, I had to correct problems of Wirless and PCMCIA card through driver updates, but there is nothing that I'm be able to do to resolve this display problem.

  I am quite convinced it's a driver issue, but then again, nothing is certain.

  If anyone can help me please I'm getting desperate.

  Hello

  Well, it's not easy to say why it happens but one of my friends has sometimes even appearance but on another unit. If he plays a high-performance games unity cling.
  In my view, this could be a heating problem. Playing games is hard work for the laptop, because all parts (bars of memory, processor, graphics card, etc.) work with max performance and produce a lot of heat. Most laptops are not developed for this.

  However, you should always use the graphics driver from Toshiba. I found the latest version of 15/07/05. It is a display 8.121.050.322A driver. In addition, you must install latest DirectX. I think that it s a 9.1. Check whether the fixes for these games are available.

  Second, if video playback is erratic, it seems that the OS is fully committed.
  In this case, you should check the processes that run in the background of the operating system.
  In addition, try to defragment the HARD disk

  Good bye
