Updating BIOS for Equium A60-181

Hi, according to the toshiba site there is a new update of the BIOS for my laptop.
I was wondering is it worth the update, unfortunately, there is no information
provided regarding the bugfixes or improvements? Also can I use the
Windows update tool or use the bootable CD, it's just I'm not sure
flashing Windows XP, except if it is a procedure without normal fault?

see you soon,

Richard S.

Hi Richard

Richard you have some problems with this device? If everything works properly I don't see a reason any BIOS update.

If you think that the update of the BIOS is necessary, you can try Windows based Bios update but please check the first Description of the Toshiba BIOS update before you continue.

  • Updating BIOS on Equium A60 to cause the BSOD?

    Hey,.
    I had my Equium A60 for a little less than 2 years and now it has started flasihing a blue screen when it works for a while, I tried to read what he says but it's too fast and then it restarts the computer! the only things I can do out there are BIOS of letters that I've now put together probably need an updated (or so I hope this is just the problem)...

    given that I've never updated the BIOS until I was wondering if I make a mistake it will cover on my extended warranty? I think I also insurance on it could someone help please?

    Hello

    This document explains how to disable the automatic restart of Windows XP after a system failure:
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5B01770000R01.htm

    If you turn off it does not restart the laptop and you can read the error message.
    But I think that this message is not really a help. You will get a memory address, and a common user is not able to read this BSOD.

    The BSOD appears especially because of the misconduct of software or a hardware malfunction.
    I put t think that BIOS update will help you with this problem.
    I think you should try to reinstall the operating system. Especially the new facility allows to solve software problems

    But probably the high temperature may also be responsible for these BSOD errors.
    In this case you should check the fans. Most dust and debris would be responsible for the high temperature because fans may not turn with a maximum return.

    If you have no experience a technician must clean the notebook professionally.

  • Updated BIOS for Equium L20 missing docs?

    I recently downloaded the upgrade of Bios for the Equium L20 PSL2ZE.
    I need to this day with a bootable CD-ROM.

    In the FAQ, it says in the sub-heading "Option 2: update with CD-ROM" the following text:

    1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
    2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"
    3. how to make a bootable CD-ROM please read the *.pdf file in the "docs" folder

    Problem is the Bios upgrade download does not contain the docs with the required pdf file. How to make the CD bootable, strange!

    Can someone please send me the document.

  • Equium A60-181 (PSA67E) - cannot find the display driver

    Due to problems with some games I did experiments with other ATI drivers for my laptop.
    It turns out that their support for Open GL is scandalously broken so I tried rolling back the drivers.
    Unfortunately Windows doesn't let me do it because I need the original driver files so tried to download on the Toshiba support page.
    Well although it seems that the Equium A60 - 181 aka PSA67E does not appear as a product more also any attempt to seek A60-181 or PSA67E displays empty hits Unlike Google or Msn.

    What happens here? Please tell me Toshiba did not hold for this laptop isn't exactly new or old it is still worthy of driver / BIOS update support especially when needed.

    Akuma is right. All the notebooks are listed in the archives.

  • Equium A60 - 181 Win XP: card incorrect RLAN - icon notification taskbar

    Hello world

    Ive took my Equium A60-181 for quite a while now and its been fairly reliable, sound always connected via WiFi to my home network.

    Very recently, however, the icon in the tray system for network connectivity was incorrect. He said always I am not connected to the network... but I am, because the internet works and I can still access the network drive that is located on another computer on the network and network printers.

    Why is the system status bar tells me that I am not connected to the network when I am?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    And Happy New Year.

    Rhys James

    Hello

    I presume that you have assigned the LAN TCP/IP address and gateway manually parameters and these parameters are not set to automatic. Am I wrong?

    The same message appeared to me. I connected my laptop to the other PC and changed the TCP/IP address settings.
    It was the reason of this message in the taskbar.

    All simply set it to auto again and you will get rid of this annoying message.

    Best regards

  • Tips for an A60 - 181 RAM change - need information:------.

    I have an Equium A60-181 according to the specification, this is a P4 3.20 GHz HT with 2x256MB DDR RAM FSB 533 MHz and ATI 7000 IGP graphics processor.
    Since I bought it 5 years ago, I've had random blue screens of death, the corruption of the system folder (necessary to re - install using the DVD of recovery of product 2 times) although I implemented with her for many years.
    Now this week it blue screens so many times (and green) with different error messages that, after verification, it with memtest86, I had confirmed my suspicions the RAM is faulty.
    I have found what I believe, it's slot compartment memory but I can only find 1 x 256 MB of RAM DO not 2 modules and for some reason it's FSB PC2700 333 MHz DDR RAM 533 MHz as advertised.
    Anyone know where to find the other RAM I opened to all other panels, but all belong to the wireless adapter and it has connections associated with.
    Also is it normal to find a RAM with a speed that is located under the advertised FSB? I am still a bit confused about this because if I had to buy a new memory module, I need to correct type because I've heard quite matched DDR makes Windows unstable.
    In any case, I remove the memory module is visible that the machine always starts up, but with only 256 MB RAM, however if I turned it in his unstable state with the lack of the module it would turn on and stop instantly.
    It seems obvious from this behavior that the RAM problem is one inside, that I cannot locate and probably fixed to the motherboard.

    So my questions are the following:

    Where is the other module DDR 256 MB, do I have to strip my laptop out to have access to it?

    Assuming that I have to replace the two modules DDR RAM is compatible with this particular model?

    Given the age and the specifications of the laptop, this return to Toshiba would not be a viable option so I'm more than happy to fix it myself. If someone could recommend some links for a repair site or perhaps a repair I would really appreciate it.

    see you soon,

    Richard S.

    Hi redhawk,.
    some machines have a ram installed under the keyboard...
    and some machines have ram installed directly soldered on the motherboard...

    I think that it is not the ram...
    Renew the thermal grease on cpu and gpu.
    in most cases, this fat dry out and cause failures...

  • Equium A60 - 181 und external monitor

    Hi I have an Equium A60-181 with connected Ati graphics card in and monitor external 19 "CRT. While the monitor seems to work I ran into a few problems. By turning on the monitor XP prompted me to install drivers I assume that they are for the monitor in question sheet etc.

    It seems in any case that I'm unable to change the resolution or refresh rate of the screen is set to 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz. I changed the display properties and selected reverse, but when I OK/apply the cursor goes back to 1024 x 768 and the refresh rate is 60 Hz - huh?
    I restarted XP and still have this problem I even Device Manager check for yellow markers so now I'm at loss here is a common problem with Ati?

    Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    see you soon,

    Richard S.

    Hi Richard

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the resolution of 1024 x 768 max for external (second) monitor is restriction of graphics card. Is this the situation even if you use an external monitor just without screen laptop (FN + F5)?

  • Question about updating BIOS for Satellite 2450-101

    Hi, I want to update BIOS for my Satellite 2450-101 (model: PS245E-01TMY-IT). I downloaded the BIOS "bios - 20071008123347.zip" on Toshiba Europe site (see link below). Is this the right one for my PC?
    What do you propose to make a backup of the existing before installing the new?

    I want to make an extension of memory, but I'm not sure whether this is necessary. Do you reccoment to update the bios anyway?

    Thank you very much!

    BIOS

    Hello!

    Yes, it's the good BIOS because it s also for your model (Satellite 2450-101).

    A BIOS update is an upgrade of RAM is not necessary. The BIOS has nothing to do with the maximum RAM capacity.
    Satellite 2450-101 supports up to 1 GB, type PC2100 DDR - RAM.

  • Need a new mothherboard for Equium A60

    I tried suggestion given in the forum but I am always sick, I think I need a new mothherboard for Equium A60, I searched on the Toshiba site but tere does'nt seem to be links or place where it is said you can buy a home, HELP!

    As much as I know, that you cannot order parts for laptop direct from Toshiba.

    You can do this in some independent electronic store, perhaps by approved maintainer Toshiba or on eBay. I recommend you check out eBay. Here you can find many hardware components for various Toshiba laptops.
    With a little luck you can find mainboard for your model of laptop also.

  • Equium A60-181: Win XP does not start successfully - the BSOD reboot

    Hello.

    I have an Equium A60-181 which has an operating system problem.
    Loads of XP logo at the beginning, when it happens to show the log on screen, it is a quick blue screen of death error, and it restarts.

    I tried to go into safe mode, but it blocks on atisgkaf.sys.

    Is that what I can do to save the operating system?

    How can I start to diagnose if it's a hardware problem?

    Thank you, Lawrence

    Hello

    The atisgkaf.sys file belongs to the graphics card driver.
    But as Akuma has proposed, the Windows operating system does not load 3rd party in safe mode drivers.
    This is why the ATI graphics card driver should not affect the start-up procedure.

    However, this is only my personal hypothesis and believe me; nothing is impossible, so a hardware problem might be possible.

    But just a question;
    Have you tried to reinstall the OS?
    The installation process goes smoothly through the unique installation steps?

    I think that the new installation of the operating system is a good idea to find out if it is a hardware or software problem.
    Maybe you should try it
