Satellite A300 : cannot boot : blocked by Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility

This one is a bit bizarre. We have a Tosh Satellite A300-193 Laptop (Manufacturer Code: PSAJ1E-01000XEN) purchased July 2008, which my daughter uses for work. We have Kaspersky anti-virus on it, but since its license had expired (and we didn't really like it), I was going to remove it and install Avast.
Kasperky's removal instructions involve getting their "kavremove" tool which their instructions say should be run from safe mode. So, having downloaded the tool, I pressed F8 to boot to safe mode. ...
That's when things went wrong. Instead of the typical black boot-options screen, I got a password request from "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility". We have never set up a password on this machine, and I have never seen this particular screen before. After three wrong guesses (!), the machine powers off.
Now when I turn it on, it goes straight to this Phoenix password request: I don't touch F2, F12, F8, or anything. I cannot work out why it should do this, nor how I can possibly by-pass it. None of my password guesses work (of course). My daughter is a primary school teacher with a school inspection looming in a week: while she has most of her work on a USB stick, there is data on this machine she really needs. Needless to say, tensions are rising.
I have googled all evening, so I know there is no point asking about passwords. But can anyone point me in a helpful direction? I'm baffled and at a loss. Grateful for any help (or hope!).
David.

Hi,
Which steps/procedure in that other thread you linked did you do to make it boot without asking for the BIOS password?
I looked through that message briefly, and what I didn't see is that after you get it to boot, you should probably go into the BIOS and reset the BIOS settings to default.
Another possibility is that the BIOS firmware itself may be corrupted, causing it to think that there's a BIOS password set. If that's the case, you may need to try to flash the BIOS with a known good BIOS, maybe booting from floppy or CD to do the BIOS flash.

Fn+F5 not displaying options - Satellite A60

Two days ago when I used Fn+F5 I could scroll through the options and choose the different display options. Yesterday when I did the same thing the options were not available. Both times I was connecting to a projector. Rebooting does not help.
Is there a way to reset the defaults? Perhaps I hit a key and changed them? Has this happened to anyone else? Just looking for a solution.
I am running XP, on Satellite A60.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
Jenn

Hi
Looks like the Toshiba Hotkey Utility and Hotkey Utilitys for Display Devices stop working.
Go to the Toshiba driver page, download the utilities and reinstall it!
PS; I would recommend firstly removing the old tools from the OS. Then reboot the notebook and install Hotkey Utility, reboot again and follow the installation with Hotkey Utilitys for Display Devices.
Good luck and greetings

Satellite A60 - increased memory

My Satellite A60 has 256mb of memory and is running vey slow these days. I've removed several applications but it's only partly cured the problem. I've also defragmented the hard drive. Could I need more memory?
Any advise would be appreciated - how do I obtain it and install it?

Hi Charles,
Increasing your RAM will make an improvement, but only with applications which are particularly memory intensive. These will include heavy graphics using games, and such utilities as photo-manipulation, video editing etc.
It is far more likely that your system is being slowed by excessive task running after your initial startup. Check in your Task Manager for how many background processes you have running and how much resource they are actually using. For a typical XP installation I would expect there to be between 45 - 50 processes running.
Unless you have already done so I would recommend running a spyware utility (ADAWARE SE and SPYBOT S & D) which can be freely downloaded from the Internet, to see what turns up.
I note that you have already defragmented your hard drive, which is excellent, but I would strongly recommend running the Disk Cleanup utility as well to get rid of any unnecessary clutter.
With regard to RAM I believe the maximum that you can expand to is 1280Mb, and I would recommend that you use Toshiba or Kingston RAM modules as these are tested to work with your notebook. I have also used ORCA modules in my own notebook wuite successfully. Really the choice is yours.
Information on replacing RAM modules is usually contained in your users handbook, and should also give details of the procedure to follow.

Satellite A60 - sound has stopped working

Satellite A60 - sound has stopped working. Downloaded new sound driver from toshiba web site - clicked on sound update icon and it worked, but disappeared every time I restarted.
Clicked on installshield icon, and install starts, but then has an error message saying 0x80040303, unknown error, setup terminates - this happens every time.
Tried to download other updates, but it says I didn't register my laptop, which I'm sure I did, and won't let me do it again because it's more than 6 months old.
Help!!

Hello
Try to roll back the operating system to an earlier time when everything works fine. On this way it is not easy to say why this happen. Try also to remove sound card from device manager and restart the unit.
All drivers for your unit you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

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:
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
If you have more questions please write again.
Bye and good luck!

Memory upgrade to 1GB RAM on Satellite A60

I have Satellite A60 and I want to update the memory from 256MB to 1GB
Please can I do it?

Hi
Maybe the link to this Toshiba Satellite A60 memory website could help you too:
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=8333&ft=m&st=3
As mentioned there is only one upgradeable memory slot and you could use the 200-Pin PC2700 (333Mhz) DDR SODIMM modules.
Usually its not matter what manufacture it is. Only the memory specifications are important.

Graphic card upgrade on Satellite A60

My Queston is if there is any possibitity to change my Radeon Mobility 7000 igp of my Satellite A60 for a better card or do i have to by a complete new Mainboard?

Hello
This theme was discussed a lot of time in the forum and there is a simply and short answer: No, its not possible to upgrade the graphic card.
The card is a little chip which is fixed on the mainboard.
About the motherboard changing: Well, its not very easy because of a exact fitting and compatibility.
Bye

CPU upgrade on Satellite A60

Hello, i want to upgrade the cpu on my Satellite A60 celeron d345, what kind of processors are supported?
Thanks

Hi
I can not give you any informations about the CPU prices because it depends on the computer dealer.
Mostly the online dealers are much cheaper. So simply use a search-and-compare prices engine in the net.
Now something about the motherboard compatibility:
The Toshiba Satellite A60 is a full size notebook PC based on the Intel Portability P4 processor, providing high-speed processing capabilities and advanced features.
In my knowledge the motherboard should be ale to handle the Intel P4 (Northwood), P4 (Prescott) and Celeron (Northwood) CPUs.
- P4 (Northwood) 2.66/2.8/3.06/3.2 GHz
- P4 (Prescott) 518(2.8 GHz)/532(3.06 GHz)/538(3.2 GHz)/552(3.46 GHz)/558(3.60 GHz)
- Celeron (Northwood) 2.5/2.6/2.7/2.8 GHz
- Celeron (Prescott) 325(2.53 GHz) / 330 (2.66 GHz) / 335(2.8 GHz) 340 (2.93G) / 345 (3.066 GHz) / 350(3.2 GHz)
But note; everything what you do is at your own risk!!

1 Gig Ram upgrade on a Satellite A60-302

Hi there, 1st time user here
I bought a Sodimm DDR 333mhz 1gig ram card for my Satellite A60-302 and installed it today - but with no luck
The notebook turns on but the screen stays black and then the notebook turns itself off, it's also emitted a continuous beeping sound. I thought it was because the RAM was too much but it can handle 1280MB of RAM and has 256in built so it should be able to handle it
The RAM hasn't been touched by static-hands so can anyone help?
Many thanks
Matt

Youre right. The unit should be able to handle the 1024Mb memory module in a single slot.
I have only one explanation why the notebook will not run after the upgrade.
Either the module is not right and not compatible or its simply corrupt.
I recommend using the modules recommended by Toshiba.
These are:
PC2700 256MB (PA3311U-1M25)
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
The PA3313U-1M1G is a SO DIMM 200-pin DDR 333 MHz PC2700 memory module.

Need help to find printer setup utility

I recently bought my first Mac and have slowly been adding to it over the last couple of weeks. Today I added a new printer that I wish to connect wirelessly. The printer is a Brother MFC-3360. I installed the software that came with the printer and had the printer connected directly to the Mac Book. It printed just fine.
I then disconnected the USB cable and plugged it into the Extreme Base station. It failed to print. According to the Extreme manual, I need to open printer setup utility, located in the utilities folder in the applications folder. Then from there I need to add the printer.
The problem is, I have no printer setup utility. Is there another place where it might be located?
Any other ideas will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Found problem. Went to Sys prefs -> Printers and Fax -> removed my printer and re-installed. Works like a charm.

Why doesn't the HP printer show up in the printer setup utility?

Can't understand why the HP2100 TN laserjet printer that is networked(ethernet) via a Snow basestation does not automatically show up in my list of printers. I also downloaded HP's drivers for it.
My boyfriend's Powerbook running 10.3 is able to automatically see it, and it showed up as "shared" on my computer when his laptop is up and running. I tried Appletalk etc. He got it running using IP printing and having the IP address, but he told me it should have just showed up.
I'm new to the Mac so I don't understand this. According to the config page he printed Appletalk is active on the printer its selected on my networking page.
Any help apprciated.

HP Laserjet 6p is not recognized in Printer Setup Utility

I bought recently used HP Laserjet 6p printer and connected my PB to it's Apple Talk port via AsanteTalk Box. After I installed the HP 6p printer driver (downloaded from the HP site) I've tried several times to find the printer in the Printer Setup Utility but it doesn't appear on it! I've even downloaded a printer driver for MacOS 9 and tried to print in Classic environment but can't find any HP printer in the Chooser. Is there any solution for this problem?
I'll be very thankful for any suggestions.

Apple included the Gimp-Print driver "HP Laserjet 6 Series" for that printer. Does that show up?

Printer does not show in Rendezvous in Preinter Setup Utility

I am using a G4 Ti 15" laptop usually connected wirelessly to an AirPort Extreme BS. Also connected to that BS is a desktop (ethernet), cable modem, and a HP LaserJet 2200 printer. If I connected the printer directly to the laptop, it prints. However, if I try to print wirelessly, it doed not work. In the Printer Setup Utility when I try to add a printer and select Rendezvous, the printer does not showup in the available list.

Erven,
Have you followed these instructions from the help pages of Printer Setup Utility?
Connecting to a network printer
If your computer is connected to a network, you can use the printers in your local area, including those that use Bonjour (formerly Rendezvous), AppleTalk, and OpenDirectory.
Open a document to print, and then choose File > Print.
Choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, select the printer in the dialog that appears, and then click Add.
The dialog lists shared, Bonjour, AppleTalk, and Open Directory printers. You may need to wait a short while before your printer appears.
If you don't see your printer, click More Printers, choose your printer's type from the pop-up menu in the dialog that appears, select the printer, and then click Add.
If the specific type of printer you're using is listed, choose that type. For example, if you're using an Epson AppleTalk printer, you may be able to choose Epson AppleTalk.
If you choose AppleTalk, another pop-up menu appears that lets you choose the AppleTalk zone for the printer.
When you select your printer in the Add Printer or More Printers dialog, Mac OS X finds the printer's driver and adds the printer to the Printer pop-up menu. If Mac OS X cannot the printer driver, "Driver not Installed" or "Gimp-print" appears in the model pop-up menu.
If you still cannot find the printer, it may be an IP printer, and you will need to follow the instructions for how to set up an IP printer.
Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them.
