• Calibration of the screen on the Satellite A660-12th

  Hello

  I am a graphic designer, so the contrast and the color balance are really important to me.
  But I could not find an effective way to calibrate the screen of my laptop.

  Anyone have a good solution?

  Hello

  You can use software such as Adobe Gamma (if you have adobe Photoshop) or QuickGamma (it of free).
  http://www.QuickGamma.de/indexen.html

  In display-> tab color management properties, you can add color profiles.
  I add the profile of my Adobe Photoshop.

  But given that Windows 7 supports own calibration tool, you can try this as well.

• Two questions with Satellite A660-12th

  Hello

  I'm afraid that my English isn't the best but I think in English I get more answers, the German replies are alo ok.

  I have two problems, perhaps they are connected somehow.

  The first problem is that my laptop heats verry. In Windows 7 there are three options of different energies (maybe you still know) one is performance-based, so it is very hot. The second is called balanced and the third is energy saving and heat not verry, but the performance is bad. The heat is not the main problem.

  The main problem is a blue screen error that happens all by working or playing sometimes :) with graphics intensive programs of verry / games. This error is much more often in the first mentioned that in the energy saving mode. I thought that it is overheating, but would then a blue screen and after blue screen the system starts new imidiately and works as ever for the next 10 minutes, if I closed the laptop and let it cool down work much more time or sometimes gets not even blue screen crash.
  Here is the original message as germen, I tried to translate a bit litle.

  It's my laptop
  I use win 7 64 bit

  Thank you.

  I tried to send a German response, but the forum stopped me to do. It's the same answer in German: http://pastebin.com/3tLgyi0E

  English: your problem certainly seems to be overheating of the device due to stress on the graphic chipset. Go through the basic troubleshooting steps first. Make sure you have all available Windows updates installed and the latest drivers for your hardware, you can find. If the laptop still has a valid warranty, consider contacting Toshiba to make it fixed.

  Depending on how old your laptop is, you may have a problem of dust. Accumulation of dust and mud inside the laptop can prevent proper cooling, causing overheating you encounter. Consider to remove the bottom panel of the unit and spray compressed air into the radiators and fans to clean all the dirt. You can use software like SpeedFan to monitor indicators of temperature inside your laptop too.

  Failing that, you can consider buying a laptop external cooler. It is a basic specialized laptop sits on to keep cool during periods of intensive treatment. Most have an extra fan that really helps to dissipate the heat.

  Is this a common problem for toshiba computers?
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  FibZ

  I don't think it's a general or common problem. I have the Satellite P500 with the NVIDIA card inside. Pre-installed driver is Toshiba 8.16.11.8829 driver version, and I have never notice one problem with display or graphics in general.

  I watch blu - ray movies, very often HD trailers on YouTube, play games (for the time Medal of honor, Black Ops) and everything works perfectly.

  What NVIDIA card is in your laptop and what display driver is installed?

  Hey Buddy,

  I m not a Linux expert, but generally this Linux live CD can t be installed. You can start only to CD or a USB key because they don t write anything on the HARD drive. So I think that you need a different version.

  Here most users use the version preinstalled Windows, but maybe this article can help you:

• Satellite A660-12E - freezes with graphical objects

  Hello

  Here's my problem:

  I bought a Satellite A660-12th. Was obtained last Saturday, transported with great caution.

  The problem is that when I use a program dependent CG as a game, the games freezes quickly, even in the menus, with the screen objects, symptom of failure of CG (that happened in the menus of TF2, alien swarm and all playing Plain SIght). When Windows (with aero and transparency), goes on the internet, watching movies, everything is ok. No problem when using 3DSmax and Mudbox, but does not check since the last time the problem happened.
  In addition, the problem does not occur the first time that I start a game. After a long series of the computer (I use a cooling station and check the temperature: never more than 55 ° c) to download a game on steam, for example.

  I tried to install my own version of windows 7 (64 bit professional), updated the cg driver, installed a selection of programs from ninite.com, but the problem is back.

  Since then, I am a student with low resources and worked all summer to get a laptop, I am a little upset. :/
  Anyone has a solution, or should I contact the customer as soon as possible?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Can you explain what CG and CG pilot mean, please?

  I can only tell you that it is important to use the original display driver Toshiba place drivers nVidia because they are pre-tested and overheating protection. So be sure that Toshiba display the most recent driver is installed.

• Satellite A660 - multimedia keys are disordered

I try to reinstall the driver of the VAP, pilot HW and Flash driver cards and that do not resolve the problem, I also try to reinstall windows, still nothing.
  If anyone can help me, save me, I can not turn on the Recent very frustrating wireless
  Thank you

  > I used Windows 7 Ultimate (no problems with it before)...
  It's logical, because previously you used laptop with factory settings and proper installation.
  Now, you use installation clean to the BONE and who knows how you installed all of the extra stuff.

  In any case the question confuses me, in any case. I can understand that some buttons don t work due to lack of tools but I ve never seen that buttons behave messy. Which is really strange.

  If you have the time and if you want to reinstall Win7 once again, we will send you the right installation order and you should try again.

• Need new keyboard for Satellite A660

  Hello

  I need to get a new keyboard to replace the one in my laptop Toshiba Satellite because some keys stopped working.

  My computer is a Toshiba Satellite A660-PSAW3A-07P00R.

  I have been looking online at different and a single list as "fitting Toshiha Satellite A660 laptop computers".

  Does anyone know if different laptops of the A660 other shape series computers laptops, or I need to find the specific part that is compatible with the number of my computer?

  In addition, the keyboard of my laptop doesn't have the function of backlit, but in some lists I could find that didn't function backlit.

  Anyone know if the backlit keyboard is a size different from that which is not backlit and therefore it does not my laptop?

  I would be very grateful of any help.

  Thank you.

  When the keyboard is removed on the back side is a sticker with part number that you can use to search for and order new keyboard. In my opinion this is the best and easiest way to find a good keyboard.

  Keyboard with backlight has additional cable for power and you cannot use it with our machine, so, in my opinion, there is no sense to buy it. Remove the keyboard and we part of the keypad number.

  I don't know if you have experience with disassembly, but be careful if you want to do it yourself. Small mistake and something may be broken. If all this is too risky for you I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can order the original keyboard and switch to... I think only 20 minutes.

  Hello

  I have this model of laptop, but AFAIK this light in the BIOS option is for function buttons. With this option, you can enable/disable illumination for these buttons.
  In my opinion it has nothing to do with the keyboard.
  Mobile phones with keyboard backlit have BIOS option for keyboard only and you don't have it so I think that it is not supported by the BIOS and upgrade is not possible.

• Satellite A660: After upgrade to Win 8.1 BSOD is displayed using the keyboard

  Dynabook i7 3D laptop A660.

  OK; so I updated my i7 3D Dynabook to form 8.1 Windows (x 64) Windows 7 (x 64), and now the laptop restarts everytime I start to touch the keyboard.

  Other wise works perfectly.

  It took me two hundred hours to understand that I was typing on web sites usually when this re-boot occurs. And I could not remember how or why the computer restarted.

  When I press the numeric keypad 'more' sign, I get the BSoD immediately. But there are a few presses of the numbers on the keyboard so he can do the same thing.

  I.E.
  If I press 1, 2, 3, its ok.
  But
  If I press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, the laptop gets a BSoD and restarts.

  I also installed automatic software (mouse) for a Microsoft mouse, that I was going to use. and I deleted in the "System Properties" after the problem has arisen; but there is no change.

  Whenever I tap on the number pad (especially the plus sign), the PS stops with a blue screen of death BSoD.

  Any ideas?

  Hi Roger,
  My knowledge the 8.1 Windows isn't supported by Satellite A660 because there is no driver Windows 8.1 special to this series of portable, but even if these drivers have not been released, is not a big problem to install and run the Windows 8.1 on this unit.

  I m wondering how you installed the 8.1 to win on this laptop?
  You upgrade Windows 7 to 8.1 Win or were you running a fresh install of Win 8.1?

  Here's a nice page of Microsoft providing some FAQ about update for Windows 8.1
  [Windows 8.1 update: FAQ | http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8]

  In case you have done an UPGRADE to 8.1 Win, you can use Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to check if your programs and devices are compatible with Windows 8.1.

  I would be also interesting to know if the same BSOD would appear if external keyboard would be connected to the laptop.
  When using the external keyboard would cause NOT of BSOD, I guess internal keyboard is faulty and could be the troublemaker.
