Update CPU of the Satellite A60

Hello
everyone updated the A60 CPU? I have A60 - 117 with installed factory Celeron D @ 2.8GHz and I, m planning possible upgrade to MOBILE Pentium 4 3.2 GHz. If anyone has experienced these updates please write.

Hello

Generally it is not possible to upgrade the computer laptop processor because of overheating problems.
But if you want, you can ask ASP for detailed information.
In addition, I think that this topic has been discussed a lot of time in this forum. Try an advanced search for research.

Good bye

  • 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.

    (my processor is AMD 1200 E1)

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Sometimes its advised to read other threads where the same question has already been asked.

    There was a similar question for Satellite C850D.
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=73956

    Satellite C850D and C855D models support the same chipset and the same processor so info s Francesco should apply to your laptop model too.

    As mentioned in another thread: upgrading the CPU is not supported by the manufacturers of portable and these updates can be done only at your own risk, with no guarantee more than portable would go well after this exchange of CPU

  • 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.

    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?

  • Update graphics card on Satellite A60

    I use a Satellite A60 (I don't know exactly what type of A60) and I am wanting to increase my performance by playing games and using other programs. I plan to buy an upgrade of RAM 1 GB because I know it is compatiable and I don't know how to install it, but I don't know anything about graphics cards. I would like to know if is possible put level - and where can I buy an upgrade so that it would be reasonable to upgrade to. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I Don t know if that new users do not use the search function but to the explain it once again (and again):

    It s NOT possible, because the graphics card is SOUDEE & CABLE to the motherboard.

    Which means: no, you cannot update the graphics card.

    Update your RAM and be happy. :)

  • Upgrade CPU on the Satellite C850D

    My Toshiba Satellite is equipped with a processor 1.4 GHz very slow and im quite fed up of not being able to run many applications at all due to its extremely slow speed of calculation. is there a way I could get a more powerful processor for this computer? If Yes, what else it would take like a necessary upgrade for it?

    Data sheet:

    Processor: AMD E1 - 1200 APU with graphics HD Radeon (TM) 1.40 GHz
    Installed (live RAM) memory 4.00 GB (3.60 GB usable)
    system type: 64-bit operating system
    Pen and touch: no stylus or touch.

    I can get and install RAM and SSD myself, I just want to know if theres a possible CPU to update here.

    Generally speaking, CPU or GPU update is not supported. More info on what you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    Due to the specific design each laptop has the cooling system specific that allows the optimum temperature of material and do not allow any laptop to run on the critical temperature. A more powerful processor means more heat, so I think that's not such a good idea to change. CPU utilization slightly faster not bring you performance much more, I guess. Three years ago my brother has updated CPU on his old machine P300 but there is not much difference.

    After upgrade RAM and SSD laptop was very fast, very big initialize and reaction time.
    You are right about RAM and SSD. You can do this alone.

    Post if you please the exact model name and we can check what RAM modules are compatible with it.

  • Upgrade CPU on the Satellite L75D

    Hello

    My Satellite model 17 L70D-A-009 "AMD A10 5750 M mobile computer has up and died on me. 2 different repair shops to agree with me that it is the motherboard, so I bought another. Its used and as one of mine, the model number is A000243670 but is it a satellite, model L75D-A7268NR 17 "AMD A8 5500.
    I think that the 2 boards differ in that each of them have a rendering different BIOS chip my A10 does not work on the new Board of Directors. That or the A10 in my laptop is hooped.

    Anyway, the question I have is can the AMD A8 5500 in the Satellite L75D - A7268NR 17 "be upgraded with the A10 5750 M.

    Thank you

    First important information:
    Update CPU is not supported by the laptop manufacturers.
    This means that information on possible and compatible processors are not provided by the manufacturer.

    However, the CPU upgrade depends on two main points: chipset and BIOS.
    In case one of the parts mentioned would not support the new processor, the update is not possible.

    From my own experience, the upgrade of the AMD CPU is more complicated as an upgrade to an Intel processor. A lot of people here in the forum already updated the Intel CPU, but I did not have anyone who has improved an AMD processor...

    Satellite L75D-A7268NR was not released in Europe however, USA. and probably you should check the Toshiba forum us for more details on this laptop.

  • The disk on the Satellite A60 boot problem

    I have a Satellite A60, I thought that the HARD drive was not on.

    When you turn on the machine, it goes beyond the POST screen and starts with the startup of Windows XP, I get the blue bars moving and the XP logo then IT just freezes.

    Replaced the HARD drive for a brand new, re-installed the OS but I have the exact problem in the same exact spot.

    Any help appreciated

    Hello

    If reinstalling the system does not work, you can try to reinstall the BIOS. If not help too, the problem must be hardware related. Your only chance is a service partner, cause then you can't do it yourself.

    Dear wabz

    For an adequate explanation, you don't need chain. Perhaps people have posted about the same question and the answer is always the same. You cannot solve this alone because of the BIOS chip is damaged. Partner service allowed only in your country can help you.

    Please do not waste your time and contact the closest service. Addresses and phone numbers, you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support % downloads find an ASP.
