Need Motherboard information of Equium A60

Hi,
I am trying to find out about my motherboard, I have an Equium A60-155 and I was just wondering if anyone could help me

Hi
I would also recommend using a 3rd party hardware diagnostic program.
I use also the Everest and is provides many useful information about every hardware part on my notebook.
I dont know which informations you need but Im sure the Everest will help you. Furthermore if you need this compatible motherboard or a part number so you can ask the ASP for the compatible mainboard.

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.
Bye

Need motherboard for Equium A60

Hi, I'm looking for a motherboard for my laptop, its a Equium A60 P4532/256/40GB Modle no. PSA67E-00200D8J.
Could anyone tell me what is the part number of the motherboard or even where i would be able to get one from?
Many thanks rob

Well, youve got 2 choices;
Either you will buy an new motherboard which would cost a little fortune or you will try to search on very famous auction site for a second hand Equium A60 (Satellite A60) or second hand motherboard.
All parts and also the new motherboard can be ordered from the ASP in your country.
The technicians could order such part from the Toshiba directly.
So its you choice now ;)

Equium A60 - What software do I need for FN keys?

Finally purchased a new motherboard for my daughters Equium A60.
After installing all the drivers I have a few keys missing on the keyboard and the function keys do not work. Does anyone know what piece of software I need to load from the Toshiba site to get them all to work as I dont have the original Toshiba disk for this model? The board is a A60-157.
Many thanx

Hi
What OS did you install?
If you have installed XP on Equium A60 you can answer this question by yourself because on the Toshiba website you can find the installation instructions document. This is a list for the recommend driver installation order.
Check this!!
For the FN keys and all other special function you need the Toshiba tools:
TOSHIBA Console
TOSHIBA Controls
TOSHIBA Hotkey Utilities for Display Devices
TOSHIBA Hotkey Utilities
TOSHIBA Touchpad Utility

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 ;)

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:

Need a new mothherboard for Equium A60

I have tried suggestions given in the forum but am still struggling, I think I need a new mothherboard for Equium A60, I have searched the Toshiba site but tere does'nt seem to be any links or place where it says you can buy one from, HELP!

As far as I know you cannot order notebook parts directly from Toshiba.
You can do it in some independent electronic store, maybe by Toshiba authorized service provider or on eBay. I recommend you to check eBay. There you can find lot hardware components for different Toshiba notebooks.
With a little bit luck you can find mainboard for your notebook model too.
Check it out.

Hello my friend. I see you are a new in the forum. Welcome ;)
Now to your question:
You can order all compatible and supported parts from the ASP in your country. I think the guys order it directly from the Toshiba.
Anyway, the Toshiba European site contains a nice site about options and accessories.
There you will find many devices and parts which are listed in the different categories and are compatible with Toshiba notebooks.

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.

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 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?
Message was edited by: binkey1st

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,

Can I use board from Equium A60 for my Satellite A60?

Hi,
I need help pleas! I have a Satellite A60-793, and I need a new board. I can buy a board of a Equium A60. Will that work on my system? My system have a P4 3.0Ghz.
Best Regards
José Nunes

Hi
Usually there are different Satellite A60 series and different Equium A60 series but both notebooks are very similar and you should be able to install the motherboard from a Sat A60 into the Equium A60.
The motherboards dimensions (width + length) are the same.

Equium A60 Laptop crashes/blue screen when LAN Cable is in?

Hi all,
I have a Toshiba Equium A60 Laptop now for under a year.
I am running WinXp Sp2
Yesterday, my laptop started to crash flashing a blue screen (No time to see what it says as computer Restarts too quickly).
I found that it only seems to crash when the LAN Cable is plugged ine.g. If I start the Laptop it will start-up as usual but when it starts to communicate with the network/router (as I can see by watching the little blue Screens in the Task Bar Bottom right) it Crashes. Ive tried a different port on the router but no luck.
My Network card is: Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
It runs ok in Safe mode and doesnt crash.
I updated the Driver but and it still does the same.
I then decided to restore my Laptop back to Day One/Factory Default via the Toshiba Recovery DVD.
When restored it worked fine all day (had internet access via the network) until I clicked: Set up a home or small office network in the control panel. It crashed again the same way. Now it will continually crash as above.
Could this be a problem with my cable?
Please help..Any ideas?
Thanks loads,
Shay

Hi Shay,
The blue screen of death (BSoD) can be a particularly annoying problem because it can be very tricky to trace the source of the crashes.
Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death for some more information on it.
Common causes are ...
- faulty hardware (could be the network card, or ram, or hard drive)
- bad device drivers
- overheating
- corrupted software/operating system
As you said that you've used the recovery DVD and the problem still persists, this says to me that it is a hardware issue (as long as image loaded on with no errors and DVD is in good condition).
Easy things you could try are ...
- changing the network cable (unlikely the problem but always worth a try)
- checking the network card port for debris/damage
- reseat the ram/hard drive
- load on an operating system from scratch, if you have it (not using recovery DVD)
If none of these work and the laptop is under warranty, get the motherboard/network card replaced.
If not under warranty, try the debugging tool for Windows ... http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx
Good luck!

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
