Equium A60 with faulty built in memory

Hi
I have tried recovering my Equium A60 with the recovery DVD and it will not boot windows. I tried to install a number of different versions of windows and the error messages lead me to the conclusion that the memory module is faulty. The system came with 256MB of memory and this is non removable as it is part of the motherboard. My question is if I buy a memory module and install it in the expansion slot will it be prevented from working by the faulty built-in memory?

Hi Kevin,
Unfortunately there is no way to isolate the faulty RAM on your motherboard. Even if you install a second RAM module the system will still try to use the faulty built in module as well.
You will need to take you notebook to an ASP for the faulty module to be replaced.
regards,

Problems with built-in memory

Hi everyone!
I have a blackberry torch 9810, 7.1 bundle.
I have a problem with my built in memory. ever since I lost my memory stick, ii started using my built in memory since it's a 6.2 GB memory. so ii once plugged my bb into my laptop, and when unplugged, everything just disapeared! picture, music, recordings, everything. It wouldn't apear but ii know it's there because when ii plug into a laptop would say 2.3 GB used. Ii security wiped my phone once and it started working perfectly again. then the problem came back again after a while! How do fix this problem?

This only happens every-time you connect your blackberry to your laptop everything disappeared correct?

How to enable widescreen resolution for external monitor on Equium A60?

Hi
I have got a Equium A60 with a ATI Radion Mobility 7000 grahpics chip in it. A short while ago the LCD died and decided to use a external monitor instead of replacing it. However, the external monitor is a 22" widescreen monitor which the computer does not provide a suitable display resolution for. Is there any way of updating the graphics card driver to provide widescreen formats. I have looked on the toshiba updates but there is nothing any newer on there and ATI are unwilling to offere support on a laptop.
Any ideas ?

Hi
You cannot choose your favorite resolution because the graphic driver does not support it.
Possibly the 3rd party driver would support your favorite display resolution but to be honest I would not use such drivers because it could cause some serious notebook troubles.
The point is that such 3rd party drivers are not tested and not certified by Toshiba.
Therefore the usage is only at your own risk.

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.

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.

White with vertical colored lines on Equium A60

Hi
I am new to this but really need your help. My laptop is about 18 months old and has always worked fine. Last week I plugged a broadband modem into it through an Ethernet cable and set up broadband. A couple of minutes after doing this when I looked at the screen again, it had gone all white with vertical colored lines down it. I have rebooted the machine etc and that is all I ever get now. As soon as I switch on, it just goes straight to white with these vertical colored lines.
I have tried connecting an external monitor to it and that works fine. The laptop is a Toshiba Equium A60. I am worried that the screen has blown, is it possible for a surge or something like that to come down the Ethernet cable and blow the screen?
Thanks
Adrian

Display functionality has nothing to do with Ethernet cable. Test with external monitor is very good and on this way you can see if maybe graphic card is responsible for that.
According to your description I believe that display is the problem. Of course, just intensive display test can give more answers.

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.

What DVD drives are compatible with Equium A60 PSA67E?

my question; what dvd drives are compatible for an equium a60 (psa67e-001001en)?
background; i did a very silly thing! whilst i was in japan and about 18 months after purchasing my a60 in the uk, the dvd drive packed up. i replaced it with a teac dvd drive and it worked like a dream! i threw the old drive away (i think it was a matsu****a, but can't remember the exact model). anyway, i came home and had a bit of spare time on my hands so i decided to tweak my machine and corrupted the windows xp registry.
Now the windows xp runs in a loop, i can't get access to it and i need to wipe the hard drive and start again basically. i put the recovery disk in, but the computer doesn't read from it and frustratingly finds its way to the loopy windows. i have determined that it is not recognising the teac drive that i used to replace the old one. i think if i put an original type back in, the firmware may recognise the drive and i'll be back in business.... or so i hope!
of course, any other advice would be gratefully received too! thanks.
work around??? ps... a work around i thought up... copy the contents of the recovery disk on to a hard drive (using my old computer) then swap the current hdd in my a60 with it... theory; when the computer finds the contents during booting, it will install xp on another part of that hard drive and i'll have a working machine again. could something like that work???????? any thoughts????

thanks again friend!
as it turns out, that pioneer drive rung bells.
though my TEAC (DV-w28e) replacement looks identical to my previous drive and has worked ok with windows, at "the bios level" it is not being recognised... is that something you would have expected???? i must admit, with windows, the TEAC outperformed the original drive and was surprised it wasn't reading my recovery disk after my self infliction! i also tried using a usb hdd loaded up with the recovery disk and that didn't work.
but you answered my question so thanks a million for that.

Webcam problems with Equium A60

I have a Creative Ultra Live for Notebooks which I can not get to work with my Equium A60-156.When I install the software it tells me that no drivers have been installed and that the device in not recognized.I have the latest BIOS & have tried changing the powersave settings & various other solutions Creative have suggested all to no avail !
Has anyone else had this problem and overcome it ?
Creative discussion forums are full of people with toshiba notbooks with this problem.
Help ! I am getting desperate.

Hi, I don't have the create ultra live webcam but I do have the creative notebook cam installed on my A60-181 so I guess it can't be much different. It's possible the driver installation wasn't success and will need to be re-installed. Have a look in device manager if you see any yellow marks regarding an unknown USB device then remove it. Run the install program again then plug in the webcam afterwards not before. Does it say something like found new USB device and prompted you for installing drivers?? Click on "recommended" then later it will say "these drivers are unsigned..." etc. you have to "OK" otherwise the drivers wont install.

Equium A60 doesn't work properly with Logitech Quickcam Fusion

Has anyone managed to use a Logitech Quickcam Fusion webcam with an Equium A60 ?
I've installed the latest available drivers and software and most times it just screws up the operation of the PC. It eventually hangs so badly that I can't even recover using Windows Task Manager!! If I leave the USB lead connected to the PC, 9 times out of ten, it won't boot up into Windows, until I remove the lead :(
I've installed the same software and drivers on my Desktop PC and the camera works fine every time and boots OK with the camera connected to a USB port.
Both PCs are using Win XP with SP2 and all released updates.

Hello Bill
Do you have problems with USB ports if you use other devices? I really don?t know what the problem can be. Check Logitech SUPPORT PAGE
Maybe you will find some advice there.

I tested them side-by-side in Apple Store today and after the same 10 apps loaded, I didn't feel significant speed gain from iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina Display from my New iPad.
I wonder what Processing Speed and Built-in Memory do the iPad Air and the iPad Mini with Retina Display have.
Can someone who has upgraded give any feedback?

Thanks Diavonex.

Can I expand the RAM of an Equium M50 with 1GB memory module?

Someone told me that Equium M50 only recognise 512 MB memory module. The Toshiba manual does not specify. It is true?
Thank you for any help
Cheers

Hi Francisco
No, this is not correct. The guy who told this was not right and I assume he has no Equium A50 experience.
As far as I know the memory on Equium A50 notebook can be upgraded up to 2048MB.
So you have to use 2 x 1024MB (1GB) memory modules if you want to upgrade the memory to 2GB.
For me its clear. The Equium A50 recognizes bigger memory size as 512MB.
Do you know what modules are compatible and can be used???
On the Toshiba Options & Accessories website you will find the supported modules:
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-2M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-2M1G)
I hope I was clear enough ;)

Equium A60 - mains lead faulty

The mains lead for my laptop has begun to split and although I've wrapped electrical tape over the split, it doesn't work consistently anymore. Annoyingly, the split is on the part of the lead that joins the computer (i.e. attached to battery) so I'm guessing they're pretty difficult/expensive to buy.
Does anyone know where I could get a new lead that doesn't cost the earth?
Many thanks!

Hi,
they are not very expensive, this site -> http://www.pcupgrade.co.uk/productdetails.asp?ProductID=3146&categoryid=368 wants only 40 pounds for such an AC, so if you use "google.com" and type "Equium A60 Ac adapter", you will get many results about AC adapters for Equium A60.. :)
Good luck

Need some info about Equium A60

Hi,
I am looking to upgrade RAM on my laptop which is a Equium A60 (PSA67E-001004NO). I need to know what speed my motherboard supports... I posted a question some time back and got the impression that my laptop can take 533mhz but I enquired other places and got the idea that my laptop supports 333mhz. I need to know the correct value my motherboard supports. Whether its 333mhz or up over..
One thing more I need to know is there any way one can check for the configuration that laptop has, because there is nothing about this Equium on the net or Toshiba site...
I remember to see a page on which all hardware and preinstalled software details of Equium A60 PSA67E-001004NO were on the net but I fail to remember where I saw it..
Can someone help in any way?

Hi
Your notebook has 256MB internal memory and just one slot is available for memory expansion. I have found info that your unit can handle with 1280MB max.
The compatible memory modules are:
PC2700 256MB (PA3311U-1M25)
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
If you want check part numbers on Google and you will find out all info about those modules. I have no time now to check it for you.

Equium A60-199 randomly shutting down -could it be overheating issue

Hi I am posting on behalf of a friend who has been experiencing her A60 laptop shutting down unexpectedlly.. ( she said it shut down after a few mins or when she tried opening Firefox)
Syst Details
Toshiba Equium A60-199 Model No: PSA67E -00J00C8J
18 GB Free & 19 GB used
512MB RAM
Celeron 2.93GH processor
Running WinXp Home
NIS 2006
I have had a look remotely and was using it for about 30 mins opened FF with No issues using logmeinitreach software ..There was nothing showing in the event manager log, for the time of day it was shutting down earlier on..so I was wondering if it is a faulty power supply?
Everythng looked fine had just clicked on the Norton Internet security Full system scan which has not been run in a long time and the PC shut down NOW it won't reboot at all.??
Apparantly she can hear some whirring but nothing else happens..( which I guess could well be the fan kicking in)
Advised her to leave it for a bit and about 2 hours later she was able to turn it on again.. I am wondering if it could be overheating.??
Apparantly 3/4 months ago this was happening then stopped happening and has now started again..
Please can you give me some advice on how to clean it - other than taking it to a hardware workshop
I have downloaded the A60 users manual and have asked her to confirm what the indicator lights are showing - so as to try to verify of overheating
is the issue..
I have also read online "You can spray compressed air into the air intake vents but not the air output vents to help get rid of the dust and debris." I have looked at the manual and can see 2 lots of vents ..One is on the side and one on the bottom, is th eintake the one on the side ? Do I literally point the air at the side vents and spray ?
When asking her if she knows when teh fan is always on, sometimes on, never one etc she seemd to think ot is ALWAYS on.. which woudl again point to overheating..
Please advise

Hello Cathy
I also believe the suddenly shutdowns are result of overheating. If the dust blocks cooling grill the air circulation is blocked and hardware can achieve critical hardware temperature very fast. Sometimes you can start any preinstalled application, the CPU usage goes to higher level and notebook will suddenly shuts down.
The notebook must be cleaned as soon as possible. If you do not have experience with disassembling procedure I recommend you to contact nearest service and the notebook should be cleaned on professional way. It costs a little bit but you can be sure that you can use notebook for a longer period of time.
