Why Satellite Pro A60 beep sometimes while working normally?

Hello

Every now and then I hear a beep loud echo while using my A60, what does this indicate? I'm afraid that I had to have my laptop repaired twice under warranty and now the warranty is out, I don't want to end up with costly repairs. First time out, it was the hard drive, the second time out, it was the motherboard. My phone always has this noise.

Please help on this issue.

Thank you
Clive

Can you identify origin of this noise? Maybe it's CD/DVD drive?

  • Satellite Pro A60-832: sometimes the OS starts without sound and modem

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite Pro A60-832. Everything works perfectly, but sometimes my system starts without sound. When this happends, modem also does not work. After reboot, everything works well again. I integrate Windows XP Pro SP2, but the same thing was happening with the original Windows XP Pro SP1 provided in the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    Any ideas?

    Sorry for my bad English.

    As mentioned, a high temperature might be responsible for these drop-outs, but I n t think that there is a problem in your case.
    I think that the temperature cannot be very high immediately after the start of the laptop.

    In case I would recommend comparing the BIOS installed on the unit you with available on the Toshiba page BIOS.
    If there is a new version of the BIOS so you can try to update.
    But be sure you use the good BIOS and the proper procedure.

  • Satellite Pro A60 abandoned. Why?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me why this model is discontinued?

    Satellite Pro A60 - 832:P4 3.2 GHz / XP Pro / TFT 15 "/ 512 MB / 60 GB / DVD-R-RW / LAN"

    No particular reason?

    Hello

    On the reasons for this, we can only guess. I think Toshiba try to be better this business competition. It is just possible trough permanent new products with a hardware configuration different, always new and attractive design.

    In my view, attractive and modern laptops design is very important.
    What do you think of this?

  • Satellite Pro A60: TV S-VHS on does not work

    I have a Satellite Pro a60 and I'm pulling out my S-VHS to function... This does not work very well.

    I connected all the cables right and right click on the desktop, again choose preferences, then on Preferences, but I can't find anything on the transmission of the video signal.

    I have not though as the configuration standard of Toshiba, but that shouldn't matter. I'm running WinXP SE, but the drivers for my card ATI is about two years old and I can not find a suitable one anywhere, this is the problem, or should I program utility ATI?

    Best regards!

    Hello

    You should also check the TV settings. You must choose the right channel.
    As in the previous announcement suggested, you can change the display device using the FN + F9 key combination.
    If you want to play the DVD with the WinDVD player for example if you first need to change the output of the TV and then start the WinDVD.

  • Satellite Pro A60 - CD/DVD works intermittently

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A60, which is two years old. Recently, for some reason, the CD/DVD drive now only plays discs intermittently. I have to insert it several times before it will play. Some play at all.

    I used a disc cleaner lens several times, but it seems that to help on the occasion of the strange - that is to say, a drive can be started immediately after I used the lens cleaner, but this could just be a coincidence.

    I wonder if I need to replace the drive and, if so, how much that would be easy. The computer is out of warranty.

    Thanks a lot for all the helpful tips.

    Ron

    Hey Buddy

    It really looks like a hardware malfunction. Probably the lens of the drive can not calibrate correctly due to mechanical stress for a long time.
    Unfortunately, this anomaly cannot be repaired. The only solution seems to be a replacement of equipment (by car).

    Disc replacement is a little tricky. You know. Not all readers are compatible because of the different master\slave\c-salt settings. With the help of the player is not compatible, you will get #1 error IDE.

    That's why I really recommend contacting ASP in your country and ask the compatible CD/DVD players for your laptop.

    Bye and good luck

  • Satellite Pro A60 - recovery question

    I tried to do a cover of product on a satellite pro A60

    I put in discs 1 and 2 according to the instructions and everything seems to work ok.
    Then tells me to remove the recovery media and restart the computer using ctrl alt del

    It restarts and goes through toshiba screen and on the screen of windows xp... then a blue screen that says please wait while windows prepares to start... then on windows xp with a saying of hourglass professional screen, please wait. Nothing else happens.

    It does nothing else, we left it for 3 hours today and it didn't go past this screen.

    Everyone knows it or can give me some tips on how to make the laptop still works?

    I installed windows and the Toshiba Recovery many times and I didn't noticed this problem on any of my books.
    I remember that once my Windows installation operating system has failed. I put t know why
    But I just formatted my HARD disk, erase all partitions and started the installation again! The procedure is completed successfully and portable started in the Win XP operating system.

    You must understand you problem could be linked to the software only or the operation of the equipment (HARD drive?)

    One question; have you used the recovery CD Toshiba compatible? I read repeatedly on similar problems, and finally the wrong recovery CD was the reason for start-up/installation problems.

    Make sure that sue you the good CD and then I would recommend repeat the installation of the OS.

    Good bye

    Hi Barry,.

    I'd be inclined to return your laptop to an authorized Service Agent Toshiba. The OEM software should not require all the updated drivers at this early stage of his life, and the unit will be well within its warranty period.

    The closer your repairman details can be found on the Toshiba site.

  • Satellite Pro A60 - Windows XP shows / use only a part of RAM available

    Hello guys!

    I am facing strange problems with one of my two A60s. I just upgraded two of them with 1024 MB of RAM the same. One works perfectly, but the other will show me only 410 MBs in Windows. The BIOS indicates the correct size. I changed the RAM from one to the other, but this strange error is always present. The version of the BIOS has been updated to 1.90 and has Windows XP SP2.

    Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Is there an easy way to put the management of RAM in Windows?

    Thank you in advance!

    Ralf

    It s very strange.
    I found that an additional Satellite Pro A60 info has been delivered with a different hardware configuration.
    Some A60 Pro comes with an internal memory of 512 MB and others with only 256 MB internal memory.
    In addition, the internal memory modules cannot be deleted and there is only one slot for memory upgrade.

    But I put t know why the OS shows only 410 MB

    Oh, I forgot to mention that the graphics card, also use the part of the main memory and, therefore, the operating system of shared memory could indicates a value of different memory.

  • Satellite Pro A60 cuts off after 3 minutes

    Hello

    work in IT Support generates many puzzles, but I currently have a Satellite Pro A60 which cuts off after 3 minutes.
    I have deleted the main CPU fan and have noticed that the VGA Chip Set fan fails.

    It is not at all which makes me think that it is completely broken or there is a problem with the motherboard.
    Who is more likely and if not card mother, can I buy a VGA heatsink thermal elemnet / separate fan and if so what is the part number and ball park cost?

    Matthew

    Hello

    As you already suggested this strange faucet portable bottom may be related to high temperature and to overheating.
    You are right; the malfunction of the fan could be a reason to close automatically and sometimes down.

    > can I buy a VGA heatsink thermal elemnet / separate fan

    Usually, the cooling modules are pieces separately and can be replaced.
    But notebooks disassemble and replacement of cooling modules is not easy and a little more difficult for someone who has no experience and never changed something like that. It s just too risky, because this person may damage the motherboard very easily.

    So, it's probably best to contact the technician of specifications for these s replacements!
    The ASP can command the support of the head of Toshiba warehouse cooling modules and compatible and could replace it.

    Best wishes & congratulations buddy ;)

  • 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)

  • 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!
