  • Equium A60-191 - Need a new recovery disk

    Hi there. Does any one know where I can get a Toshiba Equium A60-191 recovery cd from - the one I have has been badly scratched and I need a new one - can I download one on line?
    Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thank you
    Dee :-)

    The recovery disk cant be downloaded.
    If you need a new recovery disk you must ask your local ASP. They can order it.
    On the Toshiba website you can search for an ASP:

  • Equium A60-191: Modem issue - Only analog phone lines are supported

    My Equium A60 was powered up when lightning struck nearby and caused the electricity supply to go off and back on.
    The OS is XP Home and my ISP is AOL. When I try to access the Net by DUN, I receive the repeated error message:
    "Connected phone line is not compatible with this modem. Only analog phone lines are supported."
    My desktop computer, which also uses AOL, still connects to the same phone line without any problem.
    I have rebooted the A60 several times; changed and tried out 2 phone connnection cables - both work; the phone line works fine; I have reinstalled the driver provided on this site; removed the tick from the box that says to wait for the dial phone; checked out that the modem is in working and on the Device Manager list. All of this is to no avail.
    Troubleshooter is suggesting that COM 3 is not enabled. I cannot see COM 3 listed in Device Manager, under Ports.
    I have tried Google and ASK with the error message. There are not many posts and it appears that the Toshiba modem is in fact an Agere. This makes seems to be the subject of some of the complaints.
    Finally I have uninstalled the driver/modem, AOL and one other DUN connection. I rebooted and went through the process of installing "New Hardware" and AOL. Whilst the modem is enabled and allegedly working... I am still unable to connect to the Net. I reinstalled an additional 'pay as you go' ISP. When I try to dial out on that it generates the error 680. It does this even when the box is unchecked, for wait for a dial tone.
    I would be most grateful if anybody could help. I have run out of ideas.
    Many thanks.

    Hi
    You are right, the modem support the Agere Modem Chip.
    You will not find the COM3 in the device manager because the modem uses not real com port. Its a virtual com port.
    I think you should start the diagnostic tool test and check if the Modem has no malfunction.
    Additional you should delete the connection in the Region Select Utility and after new reboot create a new one.
    I found also the useful Microsoft article about the Troubleshooting network and dial-up connections.
    http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/trouble_all.mspx?mfr=true
    and here you will find info about the DUNS error 680:

  • Upgrading AGP Graphics Processor; Dual vs. Single

    So i just received a pair of old G4 towers. They're both AGP Graphics 400mhz machines, and i'm thinking of upgrading the processors on both. From what i understand from reading through the forums, they can take an OEM processor from some of the newer G4 towers. I've checked, and both machines have Uni-North numbers greater than 7 (one is 7, the other is 8), so they both can accept dual processors. Trying to weigh my options and decide what's best, taking into consideration that the bus on the AGP machine is only 100mhz compared to 133/167mhz bus on the faster processors...
    1. Single 1ghz/933mhz/867mhz processor (will run underclocked)
    2. Dual 500mhz processor (will run true @ 1ghz due to the 100mhz bus on the AGP machine)
    2. Dual 1ghz/800mhz Processor (will run underclocked)
    Thoughts? This would no doubt be a cheap upgrade, there are plenty of processors on eBay for under $100, and that makes it worthwhile for me.
    Thanks in advance!

    1. Single 1ghz/933mhz/867mhz processor (will run underclocked)
    This will also require a 12v power modification to use a QS processor in a sawtooth.
    2. Dual 500mhz processor (will run true @ 1ghz due to the 100mhz bus on the AGP machine)
    This will run a true +500 MHz+, not 1 GHz. The dual processor just increases multi-thread processing ability. They do not double the clock speed.
    But, this is a plug and play upgrade, and a nice improvement over a single 400 MHz processor.
    2. Dual 1ghz/800mhz Processor (will run underclocked)
    Again, there are voltage differences in the machine's which must be overcome.
    You can find information on the actual modifications needed Here.
    If you are capable of doing the mod work, I think it would be a fun project, and provide a boost to the old machines.

  • Equium A60-191: What application controls battery status in system tray?

    I have had to re-install XP. This caused the loss of the drivers and quite probably other stuff I don't know about.
    One of the items missing seems to be the software or driver? for the battery. The battery no longer charges up to full power. The software that set in the system tray used to indicate the power status and whether it was ac or dc connected.
    Any suggestions what I need and where I can get it from to fix this problem, please?

    Hi
    In my knowledge you dont need any drivers or software to charge the battery to full power. Only what you need is the Toshiba Power saver utility.
    This utility is very useful because you can configure the different power modes for a different notebook usage. For example if you have disconnect the AC adaptor from the notebook the Power saver will automatically switch to the power mode which was configured for the battery usage.
    Such modes help to take care of battery and increases the battery life time and it shows a battery status in the task bar
    But it has nothing to do witch the battery charging.
    In my user manual I have found many info about the battery and how to handle the battery usage. I think the same information you will find in your user manual. Check it.
    The last possibility could be a battery malfunction.
    But in such case only a battery replacement will solve your issue.
    If you want you can try to check if the same happens with the new battery.

  • Memory Upgrade on Equium A60

    Hello,
    I am looking to upgrade my memory on an Equium A60-155 C 335 by adding a 512mb component.
    I know part: PA3312U-1m51 is compatable but does anyone know if Part: PA3312U-2m51 is also OK ?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I think that this memory module will work.
    I have investigated a little bit in the internet and it seems that the PA3312U-2M51 module is a following memory module.

  • Equium A100-027: Is it possible to upgrade the graphic card?

    I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I'm extremely pleased with it, however the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I am a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle most modern games.
    I am looking into how to upgrade it, how much it will cost etc. However I don't wanna buy a graphics card just to realise that the inside is locked down. Since it's only a week old I also don't want to take a hammer to it just yet ;-)
    Can anyone tell me how hard it is to upgrade the graphics card? Is it locked down, or easily accessible?

    Hi Emonn
    Unfortunately, the graphic card upgrade is not possible. I dont know if you are familiar with the notebook technology but you should know that the graphic cards installed on the notebook motherboards are not same like the GPUs for desktop PCs.
    The card a fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!!!
    You can upgrade the memory modules or the HDD on the notebooks but not the graphic card!!!
    Im also an gamer and Im a notebook owner but I dont use this unit for gaming but for usual usage like internet, programming, mps, etc
    I have a second gaming machine and its a desktop PC. Its support a water cooling module and a really great graphic card but I will change it to the newest one NVIDIA which supports the directX10.
    This is a future and all newest games will need this DrectX10!!!

  • Troubles with graphic card driver at Equium A60

    Hello everybody,
    At first sorry for my bad English.
    I have some trouble with the driver of my graphic card. After a new installation I just wanted to install the driver of the ATI Radeon 7000 (I have an Equium A60), after this I had to ascertain that my pc was out of order. The trouble was because the driver, I'm sure, because after a new installation, without the VGA-drive, my notebook is working, somehow.... I mean, I'm sure it could work better if the graphic would have an own driver.
    I have been searching on the web and I did see that this was not a new problem; many people have the same trouble with it. Somehow, the pc's own driver is not compatible.
    Could anyone help me to find a solution for my problem?
    Thanks a lot,
    Eurytheus

    Sorry my friend but your posting sounds really unbelievable. Original Toshiba driver is not compatible with the hardware. It can not be. It can not be the truth!
    Your notebook model is almost 4 years old and I presume Toshiba have had enough time to react if display driver is somehow problematic. I recommend you to back up all your data and try to install your notebook using original recovery image. If there is no hardware problem notebook should work well again.
    Sorry but I do not see any other solution there because the driver is definitely tested and it must work well.

  • I am looking to update to a new imac with intel core processor. I am still old school with a powerbook G4. I want to know if I am going to have to upgrade all graphic programs right away after buying new computer. Thanks.

    Trying to weigh ALL costs involved.
    Thanks for any advice!!!

    Anything you have that is powerpc code only will not run on a new machine.  OS X 10.8 has no support for powerpc code (universal binary programs should be fine).
    Other than that warning, without knowing exactly what programs you have, and what version you are on, it is hard to say whay will or will not migrate alright.
    you might need to do some web searching and check apps at sites like roaringapps or on the programs Company web site.

  • Equium A60: graphic problems and more

    ive had so many probs with tis equium a60. it was overheating, stand by wasnt working and now the graffics were messing up! I rung this place pcworld recommended n they said try formatting it (great). so anyway i restored it to the factory settings so it was exactly how it was when i first got it. stand by is now working properly :) but it is still overheating (i mean it really does get hot) and the graffics still are messing up.
    what happens is the screen freezes for a few seconds and then it goes to the worst display settings possible, so everything is massive and the colours are all wrong. and a pop up says windows as encountered an error please reboot.
    This just happens at random times, i dont understand why ive formatted. I dunno if the graffics card itself is knackered. any help or ideas much appreciated. cheers

    Hi Dave,
    I think it must be assumed that your problems stem from the over-heating. It is very common for dust and debris to build up and block the passage of air through the CPU Heat Sink. I would suggest trying to remove any such accumulation either by blowing through the heatsink (towards the cooling fans), or by sucking out any debris with a domestic vacuum cleaner. If all else fails then you can remove the heatsink and clean the dust out before replaceing it. Beware that this may invalidate your warranty.
    Normally a thermal trip will shut off the power if it detects the CPU getting too hot, but this does not mean that some other problems may not arise.
    If you still have problems with you display after you have dealt with the over-heating issue then please post again.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a macbook??

    I know macs aren't meant for gaming or anything, but I just wanted to know if a graphics card upgrade is possible.

    As a general rule, graphics processors on notebooks are not upgradable (integrated or discrete). Some newer high end gaming machines are being built with upgradable graphics solutions, but they're VERY high end sytems and upgrading the graphics on those systems is quite expensive.

  • How to tell if my laptop integrated graphics uses UMA or discrete memory?

    Hello,
    I'm looking to buy a replacement heatsink/fan assembly for my DV6-6117DX laptop as the ball bearing on my fan is dieing. Using the service manual I've narrowed it down to two parts:
    650848-001 (For use only with computer models equipped with an AMD A8, A6, or A4 processor and a graphics subsystem with discrete memory)
    650847-001 (For use only with computer models equipped with an AMD A8, A6, or A4 processor and a graphics subsystem with UMA memory)
    I'm just not sure whether my laptop's integrated graphics uses discrete memory or UMA memory. The processor is an AMD Quad-Core A8-3500M with integrated AMD Radeon HD 6620G Discrete-Class Graphics. This is copied from the HP specs page. Does the "discrete-class graphics" imply that it uses discrete memory?
    Thanks for any help!

    Put this way if you have AMD video that is the discrete video and you most likely can't upgrade that video if that what your thinking of doing. It should have 1-2gigs of Video RAM that what it usualy comes with but that doesn't qualify it for a Gaming laptop if that is what your looking do to. Gaming laptops cost upwards to 2000US for decent game play and those Video are the higher end video chipset. And if you want to know if you have shared memory with the video look at your UEFI or Bios and look for shared video memory and you will have more insight into the video itself.

  • Purchasing a sound card for new computer which has integrated graphics

    I intend to purchase a new hp pavilion elite HPE-150t series desktop computer. It has a Intel Core i5-750 quad core processor at 2.66GH with integrated graphics. I will use the audio of this computer almost exclusively for listening to music on my headphones, off my hard drive. Is it adviseable to spend the additional money to purchase a Sound Blaster sound card?? Thank you for your opinions.

    On board sound is actually pretty good these days now. If you want digital sound. And the pc did not come with that option. You will have to upgrade to a sound card.

  • MacBook Pro A1260 with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor

    Hello,
    I booted my MBP 2.5Ghz Core 2 Duo this morning and was greeted with a startup chime and then a pink 'chequer board' effect on screen while the apple logo appears faintly in the background. The OS doesn't ever load because the startup sequence seems to freeze shortly after this.
    I think this sounds like the infamous NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor failure
    If so, am I correct in thinking Apple may still be addressing the failure, free of charge. I think it's supposed to be up to 4 years from date of purchase, but given that this macbook was discontinued in Oct 2008, and it's now sept 2012 it would make it very tight, perhaps even exceeding the cutoff, becuase I can't remember the purchase date.
    Does anyone know the restrictions to this offer? Do you need the original receipt/invoice? Does the MBP need to be standard, or can it have been upgraded with SSD or 2nd Hard Drive, or anything? Are they even strict on the cutoff date? Anyone have any experience on what to expect? I'm fearing the loss of time and projects while this is being sorted out
    Thanks all.

    It's a little late for me to jump into your discussion, I only read it when I posted an issue with the same model.
    Well, I hope you got it fixed soon enough in 2012, because as I learned in the past few days after purchasing that model and reading up on the issues, Apple stopped the care for this fault on December 7th or so in 2012.
    Seeing that people still get problems due to that graphics card, I should try to return the used one I just bought. I might run well now, but who knows how long.

  • Memory expansion on Equium A60

    Hi there Im very new to any kind of upgrade so excuse the daft question Im about to ask.
    My Equium A60s running a tad slow so Im looking to get some more memory. If I buy new memory, say 512MB, would my laptop use this 512MB addition to the 256mb you cant remove or does it replace it?
    ie would I have 768MB of memory or 512?
    Also is there anything I need to be wary of when looking for memory, would something of this description work?
    "512MB DDR SODIMM PC2100 266mhz 200pin Memory Module"
    Thanks

    Hello
    I have found info that your unit has 256 MB internal memory. One additional slot is available and there you can use max 1GB module because your unit can handle with 1280MB max.
    Compatible modules for your unit are:
    PC2700 256MB (PA3311U-1M25)
    PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
    PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
    Check please part number and it will be easy to find them on the net.
    Bye
