RE Toshiba Equium A60 PSA67E

Can someone help me please? We have installed A60 Laptop but the graphics dont seem to work properly and there are lines through the screen....Does anyone know why this is

Akuma,
Thank you so much for your suggestion. I followed that process. But it is still the same. It works normally with dicks allready having files on them but sees new ones as "full" and when I try and copy a file it says "windows has encountered a problem copying this file, what do you want windows to do?
Unfortunately "solve it!" isn't an option.
I get "cancel" or "try again". the window with files flying about then just goes on forever until I fall asleep. It there a plan B?
Thank you for your effort. THat looked good while I was doing it but no change. A friend suggested replacing the cd/dvd drive. Do you think it could be a hardwear problem like that when it wworks on part filled discs??
Regards, David

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!

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.

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.

Equium A60 shuts down automatically after 10min

My laptop TOSHIBA Equium A60, after 10 min of work it logs off because it seems to become very hot although the fan is working?
How can I fix this problem

Hi I had the exact same problem
It was definitely overheating, unfortunately whoever designed the heat sink radiator didn't think about dust build-up!
I've owned mine for about a year and a half and recently (last 5-6 months) I noticed the fan running at full speed all the time, then during summer it overheated often, now that the weather is cooler I cant blame the sun!
So I went down the road brought a jewelers screwdriver set for next to nothing and started dis-assembling the laptop.
I first found some instructions off the net (print them out!), the trickiest part is to remember to get the three screws under the CD drive!.
Once I had it apart and removed the heat sink and fan it was immediately apparent what the problem was, the heat sink resembled a shag pile carpet!!!
I went down the road again and got a can of compressed air, blew the dust away, put it back together and hey presto, its hardly even warm!
Any fool can fix this problem, don't waste your money giving it to a technician who will charge you 70 per hour to fix it for you.

Equium A60-173 - After BIOS update no boot

Hi, I have a Toshiba Equium A60-173 running Windows XP.
I just attempted to update the BIOS and all was going well until it shut down and did not switch itself back on. I waited and waited then powered it up myself. Result was a black screen or maybe even screen did not power on. I left it like this for about 5 mins then thought it had crashed so tried to switch it off to restart. The power button would not respond so I left it a little longer then removed the battery (<<<idiot I know)
Now the laptop will not boot, I press the power button and get: beeeep beep beeeep beep then it shuts off :S
I am lost and hope I haven't just destroyed my girlfriends laptop!
Any help/steps/advice very much appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
Unfortunately if BIOS update fails you can do nothing because the ROM module must be reflashed from a notebook technician
So you must contact a service partner in your country and ask for help. The guys can help you to get rid of this.

Equium A60-191 - Need a new recovery disk

Hi there. Does any one know where I can get a Toshiba Equium A60-191 recovery cd from - the one I have has been badly scratched and I need a new one - can I download one on line?
Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thank you

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:

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!

Equium A60 BIOS Update Problem

Hiya All.
I wonder if this Community can help me?
I have been trying for ages (weeks) to try and flash my BIOS with an upgrade for my Toshiba Laptop. It is a Toshiba Equium A60.
I can get it to load Windows 98 (except that it tells me that the USB devices wont work because of conflicts in the BIOS)
My friend has exactly the same Laptop, and the BIOS Version is V1.9 and mine is V1.65 To me, this very simply means that mine is out of date!
I have downloaded the newest BIOS Version from Toshiba’s website, and they say to execute the .exe file by using 1.4 Floppy Drive. This I do not have !
You can also execute this file in Windows, except that in Windows 98 it tells me I have an error! “Failure_DLL DetecChipset”
I have Googled this, and the only website that has the same error code is in German! And although Google will let you translate it, it don’t tell me anything!
As a last resort, I thought I could burn a CD, make that into a bootable disk, and add the Toshiba file to it.
Tried this with BartsPE but this is based on Windows XP and I cannot load XP, it gets as far as the XP Logo, then freezes. This is why I suspect the BIOS requires an update.
So, after more Googling, I have finished up at this website, hoping to make a Boot Disk, with the Toshiba Flash Files attached, but it has to be done in “Windows 98” and not XP
So………… that is my problem, anyone have any ideas please?
My mail if you wanna suggest any fixes [email protected]

Hi Conrad
Can you please tell me why you made BIOS updates? Did you have any problems? I use my unit almost two years and I didnt make any BIOS update till now. If everything works well it is not necessary to make any update except for some Microsoft updates that make OS safer. Dont make any update if it is not necessary.
Anyway, I am very confused with your issue. Normally Recovery DVD must not be updated. BIOS updates are useful if there is some hardware conflict or problem and not problem using OS or any software.
It will be interesting to know why you make recovery procedure every time after BIOS update.

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 ;)

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

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.
