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

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.

Memory upgrade on Equium A60 155

I have an Equium EA60-155 Notebook and the problem is it running very, very slow.
I would like to upgrade the memory. This laptop has only 1 slot and 256 non-removeable memory installed. My question is: what type of memory should I buy (can it be 512mb)

Hi
According to this page you can use also this memory module:

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,

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: Blue Screen issue

I've got a Equium A60 Series (PSA667E), reconditioned. There's a blue screen apearing sometimes, when I start up, sending me a message of error. I've tried to upgrade my BIOS, as the website indicated. But a message tell me that I dont need, because its already upgraded. So, I've got the correct BIOS but my blue screen problem persist. What can I do....

Hi
Sometimes the blue screen appears because of serious software error or a hardware malfunction (memory). Well, its not easy to say why this message occurs in you case because we dont have detailed informations. Usually the OS installation solves commonly the blue screen errors. But if there is a hardware fault so only a ASP could solve this issue.

Display driver error on my Equium A60-155

I have an Equium A60 - 155. I have been having consistent problems where I get a message saying that my the ati display driver has stopped working. I have downloaded the driver again and still no change. I have seen the blue screen of death several times but don't see it for long enough to read everything it says but it does mention the ati driver again.
Can someone PLEASE tell me what to do!
It's driving me crazy!

Blue screen of death usually indicates two things: corrupted or badly written drives or faulty hardware such as memory.
Firstly I would start by testing your System RAM for this I would recommend a program called memtest86 - http://www.memtest86.com/
If your RAM has passed then the problem maybe driver or hardware related. Unfortunately resolving BSOD problem can be a real pain so it might be worth considering using the product recovery DVD just make sure you backup all your personal files because this procedure will destroy all data.

Equium A60-157 Wireless Network Card/PCMCIA HELP!

Hi, all!
This problem has been frustrating me for at least 2 months.
Ok, I recently purchased a Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card (wifi card).
The first time I installed the wifi card it was working perfectly. I powered
off the laptop (after I had finished working on it). The following day
when I powered on the laptop, you guessed it, the wifi card was not
working. I did not remove the wifi card during the power off/on phase.
When I went into the device manager, a yellow exclamation mark was
above the wifi card. When I examined the wifi cards properties, I found the
following message:
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.
I have tried unistalling and reinstalling the wifi card. I have tried using the latest Belkin drivers for the wifi card. Sometimes it works, but when I power off/on the laptop its a no go.
One way I have gotten the card to work was by removing and inserting the card several times
until it found resources and finally worked. I dont use this method anymore as, quite obviously, I risk causing damage to the cardbus slot and the card. In the meantime Ive been using a Belkin Wireless G USB network adaptor. I have not had any problems with the USB adaptor, but I would prefer to use the wifi card. This is because the majority of the wifi card is housed inside the laptop, so its not easily dislodged. The USB adaptor is fine for wireless networking indoors, but too much of a risk for roaming outdoors.
I have had this problem from bios revision 1.70 to 1.8C, and I still have it with revision 1.90. Im planning to take the wifi card back to the shop for an exchange, but I have a very bad feeling that the same thing is going to happen with the replacement card. Im not convinced that the current wifi card is defective, because it works perfectly when it gets resources.
I have tried to manually configure the resources on the devices, but I run into one major problem. Windows seems to be LOCKED into automatic settings. The automatic settings checkbox is completely greyed out, making it impossible for me to clear the check box. I have not seen anything in the bios that can help me resolve this problem.
I have noticed that there are a lot of devices running off IRQ (Interrupt Request) 19, when viewing the resources by type in the device manager. These devices are:
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller x 2 (two entries)
Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
Texas Instrumetns PCI-1410 CardBus Controller
When the wifi card is working it also runs off IRQ 19, but as I stated before Windows is locked into automatic settings and will not let me configure the hardware resources manually.
The Equium A60-157 does not come with onboard, but it has the potential to. Wifi l.e.d. on front panel, location for physical wifi switch on side panel and wifi icon on F8. Does anyone know if Toshiba offer an upgrade service, or can I install onboard wifi myself?
ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE ISSUES!!!
Thanks for you time!

Hi
I found this for you:
Two devices have been assigned the same input/output (I/O) ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct Memory Access channel (either by the BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of the two). This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device (for example, if a universal serial bus (USB) controller does not get an interrupt from the BIOS because of a corrupt Multiprocessor System (MPS) table).
You can use Device Manager to determine where the conflict is and disable the conflicting device. On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooting wizard.
Try to disable the conflict devices. It will be interesting to know if the problem will occur again.
In my opinion you should contact Service partner and ask them if the unit is prepared for Wi-Fi module. Sorry but I am not sure about that and I dont want to give you a wrong information about that.

Equium A60 - How to format DVD-RW?

I have just buy an outgoing type laptop Equium A60; have an extended memory of 1 GB. I am now my first time make an DVD -RW, when I attempt to format with DVD-RAM program, its says that the DVD-RAM is not connected?
Can anyone help me...
[email protected]

Windows XP doesn't support DVD burning only CD-R/RWs you will have to use a dedicated application like Nero.
Toshiba do provide you with DVD burning software (can't remember the name) but it's not pre-installed you'll have to use the "Additional Software" CD for that.

Memory upgrade on Satellite A60-218

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade the memory for the Satellite A60-218 models?
I've heard that the memory is onboard (internal) and cannot be replaced. Is this true?
If not, could somebody give me a hint where can I find the memory modules on this model?
I have tried disassembling it without success.
Thanks!
Levente

Hello
Just for info: Satellite A60 has 512 MB internal memory and one sot only is available for upgrade. This unit can handle with max 1,5 GB of RAM. On the bottom side in the middle there is placed memory module cover. Remove it and you will find RAM slot.
For RAM upgrade you can use follow compatible memory modules:

If you have more questions please write again.

How to upgrade memory expansion on Satellite A100-192

please i need help because i can't take the cover off to install the memory expansion. thanks in advance.

Hi
I dont know why you are not able to remove this cover but it should be secured only with one screw and after removing of this screw you should simply remove this cover which was placed in the middle of the bottom.
Thats all. There is no magic key.

Equium A60 Blue Screen after updating to XP Home SP2

I have a Toshiba Equium A60-692. I have updated to XP SP2 and now get a blue screen on start up with the message that ATI driver ATI2DVG has gone into a continuous loop. The Microsoft error report says this is due to incompatable drivers, but I have the latest driver from Toshiba.
Anyone have any ideas?

HI Laura,
if it is important for you to install SP2 on your notebook you should try a complete new OS.
At first save your data on an external device (CD, DVD, USB-HDD, ...) and start the Toshiba recovery CD. But pay attention all data will be lost, also other partitions!!!
After the new fresh OS is ready, update your drivers, Tools and QFEs from Toshiba HP and install it!
I the end try the SP2 installation! Then it should run!
Bye Meier

Equium A60 - DVD drive does not read data discs

Hello
I am having a problem with my DVD drive on my Toshiba Equium A60 laptop. The DVD drive (Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K13A ) will play shop bought films etc without a problem. it will also read a blank DVD when you put it in the drive but once information/Data is on the disc it wont detect the disc.
I am not really that good with computer so any help would be most grateful. The computer used to play everything it just stopped doing it a few months back.
Many thanks Phil

The issue is clear.
Fact is that not all CDs and DVDs are supported and compatible. There could be always an issue with a reading or writing
The same happened to me too I had to test different CDs and DVDs from different manufacturers and finally some medias worked
In your user manual you should find a list of medias which were tested and should run properly check it!

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.

Need To Turn Off Touch Pad Tapping on Equium A60-173

Ok so I bought my father a laptop a few years back and now he has passed it on to me. I am wanting to turn off the tapping on the touch pad but I just can't find an option to do so.
I have installed a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro so there could be some drivers missing that come on the recovery CD.
I have tried to track down any drivers but I can't find my Laptop anywhere. I ran the Toshiba program which is supposed to detect which laptop you have but it came up with nothing when I ran it and I also searched in the drivers section on the Toshiba site but my laptop doesn't even appear in the choices of laptops.
It is a Toshiba Equium and on the back it says Equium A60-173 and the model number is PSA67E-00700C8J.
So if someone can please tell me how to turn off the tapping on the touch pad that would be great. I can't turn the touch pad off completely because obviously I use it to control the mouse pointer.
I saw a post that said to press Fn and F9 but that did nothing, probably because I don't have the correct drivers installed.
Any help would be great.

Hi buddy,
The tapping function of touchpad can be disabled in touchpad driver options. FN+F9 key combination will disable the whole touchpad so its another function.
The tapping function can only be disabled if the touchpad drivers are installed. If you install Windows from a normal Microsoft disk no drivers are installed and everything you have to install yourself. If you use the Toshiba recovery disk all drivers and tools will be installed automatically because it contains an image of factory settings. So recovery disk is more comfortable.
All drivers and tools that you need now can be downloaded here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
*Archive* > Equium > Equium A60 > PSA67E
As you can see you must only search in Archive to find the drivers ;)
