Hi i am the owner of a Satellite a60 laptop i have recently formated my hard drive with windows xp since i have done this i have encountred problems with the new found hardware wizzard.on trying to install software for my i-pod and bt voyager 1065 wireless laptop adapter i recieve the following message "new found hardware wizzard cannot install this hardware the hardware was not installed because the wizard can not find the necessary software" this occurs even when the software cd is in the drive could you possibly tell me what could be causing this could it possibly be a missing driver?

New Found Hardware Wizard on Windows XP Pro SP3

hi, can anyone help???
had iphone connecting fine on desktop with Vista, I rebooted yesterday with XP Pro SP3 (fed up with Vista hogging all memory)
Installed and opened itunes and connected iphone and got a "new found hardware wizard" that attempted to find device drivers to no avail, iphone will light up with a yellow ! in device manager for as long as the phone is switched on, as soon as it goes to standby the device manager loses it.
Have tried various USB ports (all 2.0) and have succesfully opened other USB devices plug and play including my ipod video, but for some reason XP pro sp3 and iphone 3G dont want to talk????
Any suggestions?

Make sure you have the latest iTunes version installed, but at least 7.7. Better yet, reinstall 7.7.1 to be on the safe side.
Also make sure your XP installation is fully patched with the latest fixes for SP3.
If that does not help, consider reinstalling XP, but only SP2, which seems to have no issue with iphone 3G.
XP SP3 tends to be a bit troublesome with certain hardware combinations, but it's a bit hard to say what exactly makes it act up.

Satellite A60 - White Screen Freeze on Boot up

Hi
My laptop Satellite A60-106 has developed some problem on boot up. It just freezes onto a white screen on boot up before I see any graphics. It looks as though it can access the DVD/CD drive but any attempt to boot up with a recovery disc fails in the same white screen and it freezes. I have tried the manufacturers advice as powering up with the F12 key pressed and another suggestion on the
CD to hold the C key down whilst turning on the power brings the same result.
Nothing but the white screen. I have tried F8 to see if I can get into safe mode but it won't move on past the initial clunking of the drives and then silence. I can't think of any way to get this to allow me to move on. I am sure you can though? I would be happy to format and reload but if I can't access the drive then how can I do that?
I wanted to increase the RAM but all of the suggestions in the hand book do not relate to the layout of my laptop. The small access window on the bottom of the laptop will not allow enough access to the RAM? Poking about around the RAM might have induced this white screen lock out?
Thanks
Charlie

Hello Charlie
To be honest you have serious problem and I really do not believe you can solve it alone. It is not easy to say for sure why white display occurs at the boot up. In my opinion there can be several reasons responsible for this.
- Display (display cable, LCD electronic)
- as far as I know white screen occurs if FL inverter makes background light but there is no display signal it can be some defect on mainboard and there is no video signal
The best thing you can do is to contact authorized service provider. Let them check your notebook. They have special tools and there is no problem to find out why this happen.
Bye

Problems with grahic card on my Satellite A60-672

I have a Satellite A60-672 which has graphics by ATI. On a number of occasions on start up it has crashed and the online crash system says everytime that it is ATI technologies. I have emailed ATI and they said it is nothing to do with them.
I have tried to email toshiba but none of the address work. The crash system tells me to uninstall the software but seeing as I didnt put it on, i am wary about doing this as it might muck up the operation of my laptop.
Currently my laptop works fine with this continuous problem. Has this happened to anyone else or does any one know how to contact toshiba.
Thanks

Hi,
here is a url where you could choose your country. Then you have to choose PC systems, after a new site is shown and there is on the left side a telephone number from the Toshiba infoline. They could say you the country specific number for the Toshiba Support hotline!

Satellite A60: battery charging problem

Hey,
I have a toshiba satellite A60 notebook. My notebook is 2 years old. After I used my laptop in battery mode, it fell out because the battery was empty. When I plugged it in on the net, the battery led flashed amber for less than a second and went out again. The battery won't charge anymore and the batteryled is out.
Windows detects the battery though. The laptop still keeps running on the battery for some minutes. I already had this problem a year ago and after a few months the battery started charging again.
Does anyone have a simular problem and how do you solve it?
Thanks (sorry for the bad english)

Hi
Possibly the battery cannot charge properly because it has a malfunction.
Generally the battery performance decreases in process of time.
I read that you can charge and discharge the battery about 500 times and then the performance goes down.
You can try to remove the battery for a several time. After this time try to charge it.
I would also recommend checking if this issue happens also with a new battery.
But its also possible that there is something wrong with the power supply electronic.
This could have a bad influence on the charging procedure.
I have also read that the BIOS update have solved some battery charging problems.
But if the battery charging has worked since 2 years so I assume the BIOS is ok.
However, check it with a new battery.

Satellite A60 - possible ram problem

i have a satellite a60 it says it has 256 of ram. on running my aol computer check up it informs me that i have only 192 of ram anyone any idea what the problem could be?
[Edited by: admin on 22-May-05 20:28]

Hi there,
I suspect that your RAM is shared with your graphics card (usually 64 Mb) so although you actually have 256 Mb of RAM, 64 Mb is pre-allocated for graphics use leaving 192 Mb. Your AOL computer chack is reporting the available RAM rather than the actual RAM

Satellite A60 DVD drive problems

Hi,
I have a Satellite A60 ( 18mths old now ) - When i 1st got it the DVD writer was D.O.A - so i sent it off and had it replaced.
It has worked fine since then until recently when the DVD drive just wouldnt recognize anything - CD's or DVD's
Tried everything with that unit - but at the end of the day figured the drive had gone.
Purchased another one ( SD-R6252 ) and lo-and-behold the same thing is happening.
Every diagnostic I run says the drive is OK - but there is no disc in it.
I have reinstalled windows from the factory recovery discs -
Updated the BIOS
Tried to update the drive firmware - but the update said it wasnt necessary.
Tried it with Nero, Windows, InterVideo - Nothing.
As it is now a work machine I cannot afford the 3 months turn around time to send it off and have it looked at ( thats how long it took last time ) and my nearest Toshiba dealer is up at the other end of the country.
Any suggestions for things i can try would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
If you check other forums you will find a lot of postings with the same content. According to many users you should try with latest firmware update. You can find it HERE

Constant restarting with a blue screen - Satellite A60-332

I've got a Satellite A60-332 for about just over two years now, recently I noted two major problems which I haven't had time to chase up:
1. Sometimes the laptop just restarts by itself for no reason whatsoever. Suddenly when I'm working, a blue screen with white text appears for half a second and the system restarts. Rarely another issue occurs where after this it won't restart but will be beeping like crazy.
2. I've had this problem since I bought my laptop; sometimes the laptop will not play any audio. What happens is after turning the system on; if the audio is working: all the "switches" in the volume control window will be present (wave, cd player, aux, phone line, etc.) However sometimes when the audio is not working it just shows three switches, no more.
I've had both problems for a while now, and I've reformatted my computer at least 5 times since I bought it, these problems never dissappear.
I also had another question; my hard drive is the 30GB supplied with Toshiba. I wanted to upgrade it, but heard that most laptops, including toshiba, have a hidden partition on the hard disk called a tatoo, this is where some of the system files are stored so that when you run the recovery disks, they work properly. Can anyone confirm this since obviously it's not a pop & pull job to install a new hard disk, considering I won't be able to copy that tatoo.
Thanks a lot for any help in advance.

Hi
1.) BSOD mostly appears because of the serious software malfunction or because of the hardware fault. The notebook could also automatically shut down because of the overheating. In such case you should check your fans and if possible clean it with the vacuum cleaner. But be careful. If it will not work so test the OS with the clean OS installation. Maybe a 3rd party software has a bad influence.
Additionally check if the unit uses the newest version of BIOS. If not update it.
2.) Dont know why it happens but possibly due to the mentioned overheating.
However, you could try to reinstall the sound driver.
3.) Sometimes the notebooks are delivered with the Qosmio player or express media player. Such players are installed on the hidden partition. I dont think that there could be other reason for the hidden partitions.

Satellite A60-S1591ST: IrDA don`t work properly. Help!

Hi! I have Toshiba Satellite A60-S1591ST.I preinstalled my operating system with the originall Toshiba Recovery and Application/Drivers DVD and after this i haven't IrDA.I tried everything, but my laptop didn't discover IrDA device.Please help me,how can i install my IrDA.Thanks.

Hi,
that sounds strange!
Normally after doing a recovery the notebook is running with factory defaults! So also the Irda port should working!
Did you checked the Device Manager entries if Irda is added?
After that you can try to run the "Add new Hardware Wizard" and search for a Irda device!
Also you should check if a Irda port is anywhere at the notebook cover! Not only a plastic dummy cover!
I checked the internet and found some specs about your A60-S1591ST. In these I found nothing about a Irda!
But other A60s have one!
So check it and keep me posted!
Bye Bob

New Xperia Z1 wifi problem 14.4.A.0.108 (Multiple access points)

Hi,
I recently got a replacement Xperia Z1. This phone was immediately updated to the latest firmware (ending with 108) so I do not know if this problem existed prior to the update.
My problem is that the phone thinks it's still coneected to a wireless network even when it's not which prevents the phone from reconnecting when in range of a new network.
When it's working it looks like this: (same signal strenght in both the top bar and the settings)
When it's not working it looks like this (sifferent signal strenghts when compring the settings and the top bar)
And I'm 15km away from my home network
To make it work again I only have to turn off wifi and then turn it on again.
This screen shows for about 10 seconds when the problem has occured (instead of usually 1-2 seconds)
I've already tried to reset and reinstall the firmware. Is this an hardware error or has this something to do with the latest update?
//Mikael

An Update:
I've found that this problem only occurs on networks with multiple Access Points and when the phone is switching from on AP to another.
If the problem occurs the network stays "connected" even though I leave the area as described in my first post.
Does this help?
I've tested on several networks.

ATI driver and Satellite A60

im having problems with my satellite A60 i had to reinstall but my recovery dvd didnt work so i bought a copy xp home to install downloaded all the drivers i needed all was well for a couple of days then the display would crash saying the ati display driver was unstable please save all work and restart your system this happened a couple of times them on christmas day night the only way i could get into my laptop was in safe mode so i reinstalled again and its happening all over again can any one help me ????

Hi
Do you use Toshiba designed driver or driver downloaded from ATI download page?
Can you please tell me what happen if you use recovery media? The operating system installation is very simply and I recommend you to use it. On this way the units hardware will be properly installed and configured.

HDD replacement on Satellite A60

I have an old Toshiba Satellite A60. The old 30gb Toshiba HDD (MK3025GAS) has died. I have bought a 60gb Toshiba HDD (MK602GAX) as a replacement.
My problem is that I can't get the bios to see the new drive and boot off it. The bios for the old dead disc says under 'Built in HDD = Primary IDE (1F0H/IRQ14)'. With the new HDD it says 'Built in HDD = No Drive'.
Using a cd, I have installed Ubuntu onto the new HDD. The ubuntu installation cd sees the new HDD and allows me to format it and install Ubuntu. When the installation has finished and I try to boot Ubuntu up, nothing happens and the Bios menu still shows 'Built in HDD = No Drive'.
If I run Ubuntu from a cd I can 'explore' the 60gb HDD and see all the installed Ubuntu files. I just can't boot the PC from the HDD or get the BIOS to acknowledge it's presence.
I am a bit confused and don't quite know what to do. Ideas Anyone ?

For me it sounds like compatibility problem. Unfortunately there is no public document where we can find info about all compatible HDDs.
To be honest Im really wondering why the new HDD is not recognized properly. Problem is that you cannot force notebook to recognize every HDD or RAM.
What to do now?
I dont think that some BIOS update will help so Im afraid you must look for new or other HDD and test if this will work or not.
I presume this 60GB HDD was not new one, right?

My Satellite A60 getting "crazy"

Hello everyone
After I installed Windows XP pro on the same partition the default Windows was intalled in, My Satellite A60 started to shut down suddenly after a certain time, the screen also switches to its minimum luminance so I can't see anything unless I mouve the cursor, the Mat****a DVD-RAM drive only recognizes CDs, the computer stands by automaticly and when I try to return to Windows all I get is a black screen, and so on...
So I thoug it may be the Toshiba's power saver settings on the first windows installation that's influencing the other one's power managment settings, so I uninstalled Toshiba Power saver, nothing changed :(
Then, I tried to install it on the new windows (pro sp2)but I got an error that prevents the program to run
Anyone knows a solution?

Hello again
Yeah! you're absolutely right :)
The computer switch off without any message. However, the screen becomes very low-bright so I can't read anything. And all this even when I'm not under Windows
Unfortunately, I left the recovery image in another country :(
Could the problem be linked to the ACPI stuff? In fact the screen only switches-on normally for some seconds when I change the Power managment profile in the BIOS...
Tank you for your answer Pedro

Satellite A60: I need WinXP driver for the PCI Flash Memory device

Hi
I have re installed windows XP on my Satellite A-60 SA63A-002001 and have a problem trying to find out what drivers I need for the PCI Flash Memory hardware which I don't know what the name of the device is.
Can someone PLEASE help me!!
Cheers
Grant

Hi
I dont know which exactly notebook you has because there are many Satellite A60-xxx but I assume most of them have the same hardware configuration.
The fact is that the on this unit the Compact Flash card slot, smard card reader, SD-card slot are not available. You can use only a PCMCIA cards.

Satellite A60: firmware for DVD burner TEAC DV-W24e needed !

Hi guys,
I have a problem with DVD burner TEAC DV-W24e. It has been some time that it is no more able to write any DVD or CD. Today, I checked the firmware and saw that the version is not the good one at all. Could anybody tell me where I could get the last firmware for that DVD burner or could anyone send it to me by e-mail ! It would be great !!!!
Thanks to all and season's greetings.
Ben

I found a firmware update on the Toshiba page in the Satellite A60 area but its only for these drives:
- SD-R2212
- SD-R1312
- SD-R1512
- SD-R2412
- SD-R6112
- SD-R2512
I think you have to Google or to ask the drive manufacture for the right firmware
Nice page:
