  Hello

  Looks like you want to update the Bios back-base. You can download windows-based BIOS:

  Note, updating of the Bios, close all running programs running, including antivirus, disconnect from the Internet. However, if the system works well. should not touch.

• My opinion on the Toshiba Equium A60-155

  I've had an Equium A60 - 155 during almost a year now and I'm quite impressed by it. For £730 I paid for it, not worth it.

  I had to increase the ram with another stick 512 for another £60 as the laptop does not work even with the standard 192. By that, I mean system breaks down, abnormal system responses, spontaneous reboots, system files/missing features, anti-virus program, just basically a machine unreliable, unusable failures.

  I will say that now the extra ram is installed, the software is more stable and most previous problems disappeared. But Toshiba is expected to have delivered it with 512 MB in the first place!

  And the battery on this is terrible! There is barely even a laptop! On a good day with battery all the saving settings on max I get about 50 minutes of it--and Yes, a year ago, when it was new, it would last together 30 more minutes at about 1:20. At the point where the thing was started in Windows and you install to work, it is for food then you might as well forget about asking him and always run from the network.

  How Toshiba charge that kind of money for a laptop that has this kind of performance? There is nothing on the laptop that can justify this money... the graphics card? Average. The processor? Celeron - enough said. The motherboard? Standard. The battery life? Laughable. The DVD burner? A bonus, but not worth the extra money. The size? Large.

  Just that there is more that I could do about it I wish and Toshiba could be made aware of the misery that they have caused me (and probably many others) during this 'portable '.

  * Note to the mods - please do not remove this post once again. Why do you feel the need to remove it anyway? Send me an email.

  I don't want to sound harsh, but you shouldn't really complain if you had bothered to check the specifications before you buy. Regarding the system crash that you can't just blame Toshiba is much poorly written drivers in XP bugs bugs in the BIOS firmware. Make sure you have XP installed with all the latest service packs for updates also updates BIOS (there has been 3 since I bought my A60-181) and if you want to try a different operating system to install Linux or use a distribution like Knoppix bootable CD.
  The battery life on laptops are poor, in general, I have seen some rival brands that quoted 1.5 hours but that the technology for you and having a processor Celeron doesn t s helped no more. That said that 50 minutes seems short for load complete so I recommend to contact Toshiba and see if they replace.
  The Admin of this forum is probably done only by ensuring that all messages on this forum to help are useful asking the nature. Making negative comments about products Toshiba on a Toshiba forum isn't clever but if you have a problem, then ask for help instead.

• Hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS - Equium A60

  Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. When I remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that does not work either. So I suspect the IDE controller has disappeared, but can I do to confirm this? I wish there was an option in the BIOS to force detection. I updated the BIOS but still the same.

  This laptop is only just out of warranty, so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there other options at my disposal?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Neil,

  Unless there is some physical\problem with the cable/connector hard drive, then it is most likely that you will have a new mainboard for your laptop. I suggest you to contact an authorized service partner and ask them to check your laptop and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Then you can try to shop for less expensive alternatives.

  Kind regards

• x 61 was updated the BIOS with 7nuj21us.exe Failed BIOS update utility

  Only, I have restored my x 61 to the original settings due to a problem with the blue screens and decided to update the BIOS right afterwards.  I followed the directions precisely and installed all 21 of each component for this model.

  I then turn off the computer and turned it back this morning to continue to load the software.  The system started with the fan running at high speed and stopped at the ThinkPad screen.  However, nothing happened after pressing the ThinkVantage button and F1 or another touches besides.  I left for a few hours, but finally determined that I could not turn off or do anything with the machine.  He just hung there.  I did finally remove the battery and replace it and now there is not able to record when the machine is connected and it does not start.

  Is there something I can do to recover the system?  I suspect that the answer is a replacement of the Commission.  The update of the BIOS was not at the same time with something on my computer.  I have just 2 years in the warranty period at the United States, so if I need to replace the card, what are the best options?

  Thanks for your help and comments... it is a very frustrating twist, because this is my work machine.

  Dmtrich,

  Certainly, we can download and system flash here, just to be safe.

  I'm sorry that you have had this problem, I sent you a PM and email and we can follow up there to work through your specific.  Please let us know your concerns!

• Flow 8: update the Bios Ganges Colorado keeps failing

  I get the message on the application of hp support install Ganges Colorado V1.0 status update on my HP flow 8. But when I select Install runs for about an hour and then fails. It fails during the installation step after the success of the download. My windows update is current.  I tried this several times a week and always get that number. Help, please.

  Hi there @venkyzealous
  
  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that an update of the BIOS recommended by HP Support Assistant is crashes when you try to install it. I'm happy to help you.

  Note that in general the BIOS updates are not mandatory. It is not a bad idea to do so, but if everything works well, it is not necessary. That being said, I would suggest to backup your data to an external device before doing anything else.

  Then try a refresh of your tablet as follows:

  HP computers - refresh your PC to solve problems (Windows 8)

  See if the BIOS update will now work for you. If this isn't the case, then try a reset.

  HP computers - reset your PC to solve problems (Windows 8)

  Let me know if it works for you and if so, please mark this message as a solution.

• Equium A60-155 - touchpad cable required

  Hi guys,.

  Recently, my mousepad on my laptop has stopped working. So I took it to a computer to check it out.
  He concluded that the cable that connects the mousepad on the motherboard had a small tear in there that cut through some of the metal strips.

  So I am buying a new internal cable of mousepad from somewhere but I can't find anywhere that sells it.
  MY warranty has run out and I do not get a response from technical support Toshiba (at least not yet).

  Anyone know where I can get the Toshiba Equium A60 - 155 Mousepad cable that connects the motherboard to the United Kingdom?

  For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Generally, all Toshiba laptop parts could be bought of the ASP in your country.
  I think that guys would be able to order directly from Toshiba.

  If one of the local FSA does not, then try another service point.

  Here you can find the database with all of the ASP s worldwide:

  Good luck

• Equium A60-155 died - how to change the motherboard?

  Hello

  A week ago, I used my laptop Equium A60-155, I turned it off for the night. The next morning, he lights up no battery or AC, the lights on the front of the LT do not come on either.

  I tested the AC and it is very much pushing the 14.8V.

  On another forum suggested to abolish the HD to see if that would help (it didn't).

  So it might be that the MOBOs dead (in which case I'll have to buy a new one when I get a job, or internal theers fuse who jumped (if it exists).)

  If there is an internal fuse can I replace it myself and what is? (I'm on a job and can not afford the repair costs, some charge 70 Quid to pick it up, and another Bill 110 quid + parts)

  I guess it's just a matter of undoing the screws on the bottom?

  Hello

  I suggest also to contact the ASP in your country, because he can do a diagnostic test and can give you a detailed response.
  Maybe you n t need to change the Board of Directors, and perhaps only the part low cost has a failure.
  But to find out the laptop must be verified.

• Replacement of the hard disk for Equium A60-155

  I need to replace the hard drive in my equium A60-155. I need to know what is compatible with this model and if the brand of the drive is important in compatibility. For example should be a drive hard toshiba or is it possible to others.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  You n t need to install a HDD in particular of Toshiba. You can also use disk of another company.

  It is important that you use a HARD drive with support for hardware specifications.

  I found these useful discussions on the replacement of the HDD on the Satellite and Equium A60:

• Satellite Pro A60 - update the BIOS without OS

  I have a Satellite Pro A60, trying to install XP pro but says he needs the BIOS update, downloaded the new update, unzipped and that one file, will not start until no bootable files.

  There is currently no OS on the laptop, I understand that I need an ISO file but where is she... !...

  Hello

  Why you need to update the BIOS?
  I doubt that XP installation says that you need to update.

  Normally the update of the BIOS is a bit risky and must be that if she of really necessary. In addition the update of the BIOS can only be done from Windows. There is no DOS version, they available only authorized for service providers.

• Equium A60-155: replacement of the cooling fan

  which screws can I remove to access the cooling fan if you please. (Equium A60-155)

  Hello

  Unfortunately, don t find all documents on the fan to replace procedure, but in my opinion it should remove much of a screw covers.
  This procedure is not easy and if you don't have any experience you shouldn't t remove anything.
  By the way; If you remove the cover, you will lose the warranty.

  In this case, the best way is to contact Toshiba service in your country for assistance and more information.

• Can Equium P200 (PSB5E) - I update the BIOS on Windows 7?

  Hello.

  My question is: how to upgrade the BIOS under Windows 7? My Bios version is 1.70, I've seen, this version 2.50 is available for download, but only under Vista.

  Can it run Windows 7?

  Hello

  First question;
  Why do you update the BIOS?
  Is the reason for this?
  If the laptop runs successfully a BIOS update is not necessary!

  Now back to the issue of BIOS;
  Some laptops have special need BIOS for Win XP or Vista.
  So if you are using XP or Vista, then you must use the BIOS that was designed for one of these windows systems on the European driver Toshiba page you can see a column of OS that provides the info for what BIOS OS is designed.

  But in most cases, the BIOS is OS independent, which means that you can use it in any Windows operating system.

  Simply said; If the BIOS is available for Vista, then you can only use it with Vista.
  If it s independent OS, you can use it with Win 7, Vista or XP
