• Satellite C660 - 115 WLan connection only works when the power cable is connected

  Hello

  A few weeks ago, I bought a Satellite C660-115. I want to surf the internet anywhere in my house without any son/cables.
  On the first day, I had this problem: when I disconnect _power_ cable, the wireless connection will stop working.

  The Web page on my screen will always be there, but a new page loading is a problem.
  It is sometimes useful to recharge (by pressing F5), - sometimes not. It is always useful to "ip address of repair", but not for long.

  The only solution is to atach regardless of how much power the battery has still the power cord.
  When I do, it is no problem whith the connection at all.
  I went back to the store where I bought it, they related to their own wireless network and they have had the same problem after a few minutes. In the shop too attach the power cable solved the problem.

  So the problem must be in my lap top, not in my network (modem or almost).

  Doesn't this all seem familiar, and if so, how can I solve this?

  I hope that my English is understandable, I live in Holland.
  Thanks in advance!

• Satellite T110-11U: WLan connection dropped and very slow performance

  Hi people,

  I use a Satellite T110-11U running windows 7 Home premium.

  After having initially was very satisfied with its use, it now becomes more and more frustrating to use with wifi, with connections dropped and very slow performance.

  I have updated the BIOS and think I have updated all drivers wirelss, but could be the problem. It seems that wireless, software of management is at fault because the networks are detected, but not clinging.

  Any suggestion or tips to try will help save my sanity!

  Thanks for your help.

  > have updated the BIOS and think I have updated all drivers wirelss, but could be the problem.
  If you need to make sure that you use the latest WLan driver.
  The driver can be downloaded here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  The laptop uses the Realtek RTL8191SE of WLan card.
  Please also reset the settings of the Wlan router. I had a lot of problems with my WLan and after the reset of the router, performance problems disappeared.

  I recently dgraaged myself in the 20th (Yes 20th) century and went wireless.
  I have a portable Satellite C660 - 11K which connects to 1683B 8 Talk Talk. When using the power cable connection is perfect.

  However, when you use the laptop battery, internet connection is often lost.
  The signal strength is very strong with and without connection to the sector.

  Any ideas please?

• Satellite C660-174 - rattling under warranty?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-174 and it vibrates in the corner near the CD drive, as if something is loose.

  I wonder if I should send it the laptop back to be repaired under warranty or if there is a way to solve the problem myself?

  Thank you

  Hi Parkish,

  Usually this rattling should also be covered by the guarantee because it seems like a hardware malfunction and it s is not a software problem.

  You should contact the nearest authorized service provider then you can ask for help and the guys will do anything to help you.

• On my Satellite C660-174 desktop screen does not open properly

  I'm a newbie here so my question is maybe obvious to some, but not for me!

  My laptop Satellite C660-174 (running Windows 7) ceased to open correctly. Everything is normal until my password is entered. Rather than open up to my "desktop" with its icons all on the side I get a page with a banner "Toshiba Leading Innovation" through it and only four random icons on the side.

  How to restore my desktop screen and all the icons?

  Help will be appreciated.

  It's really not easy to understand what you see exactly.
  Can you please take a picture and send a link where we can see it?

  I really don't understand what could be the problem, but what you can try is to start your machine with F8 and enter advanced startup options. Choose the entry 'Repair your computer', then press 'Enter '. Go forward until you enter the system recovery options. Try to system restore to earlier date. Perhaps this will help you solve problem described.

• Satellite C660 - no Internet connection after updating BIOS

  I am a novice user and have a Satellite C660 under warranty that I don't use for surfing the net and Ebay so I hope I can explain my problem!

  Toshiba bulletin board said that the need to update BIOS, so I followed the instructions but since then I have no internet connection, and cannot restore the connection that I lost all help Toshiba Bulletin Board today lost and none of the programs to sort the problems work - e.g.set assistants etc. I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?

  Can someone tell me if it's a failure caused by the BIOS update or I would return laptop to John Lewis for repair? Thank you very much for reading this

  Hey Buddy,

  The default settings in the BIOS load after update? If this is not the case, go into the BIOS and load the default settings. You can enter the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows start and then press the F9 key to load defaults. Then save & exit the BIOS Setup.

  You can access the Internet now?
  You try to access the Internet with LAN or WLAN connection?

  Also check device manager if all devices are recognized correctly.

  > I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?
  You can create the Toshiba Recovery disk every time. Just launch the pre-installed Toshiba Recovery Media Creator and follow the instructions on the screen. You need just a few blank DVDs to create the discs. Disks contain a factory image of settings which can be restored each time and how many times you want to so with these disks, you are on the safe side ;)

• Satellite C660 - reinstalled WLAN driver does not

  Hello

  I have deleted many programs of a Toshiba Satellite C660 1JH unused, and accidentally deleted the Realtek WLAN Driver.

  The laptop obviously has now no internal wireless connection. When I realized, I managed to find the driver online, downloaded and installed successfully. I rebooted the computer so that the changes take effect, but nothing happened.

  I deleted the driver and all associated files, and then it took another site to check that there was nothing wrong with the content of the file. I got exactly the same result twice more. I was check the list of uninstaller each time to make sure that the driver exists.

  My question is that no one knows if there is something else I need to do after installing the WLAN driver to enable it to operate, or if there is an another wireless adapter internal decent that I can download on the web that works with this model.

  My apologies for my vague knowledge of I.T., I hope someone can help!

  Thank you

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
  Is that your laptop has Realtek RTL8188CE WLAN card inside.
  Don t find driver Googling autour. Good driver, you can download it from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/ Portal Toshiba WLAN
  Install, check in Device Manager, try to activate the wireless network adapter using the FN keys combination and send feedback.

  Offered on the portal WLAN driver is him even that you got with the original preinstalled recovery image (WIN7 64-BIT HOME PREMIUM).

• Satellite C660-258 - Internet connection issues

  Recently, my laptop started to suffer serious problems when you try to connect to the internet.
  My download and upload slow to a crawl (only for laptop)

  Usually (according to speedtest.net) I get around a download about 4 but on my laptop it reaches maximum 0.09 dl.

  Whenever I restart my laptop it works kind of during about 10 minutes (I get about a 1 download), but then it slows down to a crawl.

  I confess that I am not the most tech savvy people so I only did the basics (turn it on and try again, other connections, reset the router, connect through a cable) but none of this has worked.

  Any help you could provide would be most welcome.

  Oh btw, my laptop is a
  Satellite C660-258

  Hello

  To be honest I don t understand your problem you have a problem with the internet connection is slow?

  Usually, this is not a problem or computer in the system but the problem with the connection provided by the internet provider (ISP).

  However, you compared the speed using LAN and WLan?
  Did you check the internet connection by using other WLan hotspots or other WiFi network?

  Do this!

• Satellite C660-121 - WLAN does not work

  Hi all

  I have problem with Toshiba Satellite C660 - 121.

  I installed new windows, and now my wireless does not work. I downloaded all the drivers LAN, WLAN etc. and WLAN will not work, I put the internet cable in the laptop, but not by cable or WIFI internet connection: S

  Please can someone help?

  Edit: in the Device Manager, NETWORK CONTROLLER is not installed, but I can't find that anywhere and I can't find any Wi - Fi network!

  Which Windows version have you installed on your laptop satellite?

  At first check if the WLAN and LAN card card are installed and registered correctly in the Device Manager?
  If Yes, you must enable WLAN card by using the FN + F8 key combination. Can you do this?

• Re: Satellite C660-119 - WLAN disconnect battery

  I would really appreciate if someone can help me here on behalf of my mother!

  She has a Toshiba Satellite C660-119. Everything works fine when the power supply is connected to the laptop, but as soon as she disconnects it then he loses (Virgin Media router) wireless connection. Two other laptops (family members) work quite well. The problem is last week she bought an another Toshiba Satellite and had the same problem, so we went back today thinking it was defective and got the C660 but it happens on this one too!

  Any notice received with gratitude.

  Hey,.

  If this only happens on the battery, I think that it s economy feature that will be activated WLAN energy battery mode. That means WLAN card saves energy, but it could be loose connection.

  Take a look in the Windows power management and assign card WLAN for Performance maximum battery mode. This document will help you:

• Satellite L300 PSLBGE network connection drops randomly times

  Hey,.

  I had this problem with my laptop because I bought 1.5 years ago.
  Now I launch Windows 7 x 64 with the latest bios (version 2.20 - WIN; day 25/02/10), chipset and wireless (the card is a: Realtek Wireless LAN Adapter 8187 B; driver version: 62.1182.0331.2010) drivers.

  The problem is that my network connection drop at random times.
  This produces both with my wireless lan card and it comes up with a variety of routers (at work and at home I use a linksys wrt54gl, but I tried it on all the other routers with the same result).

  I don't think it's a hardware failure, since the network seems to work very well under Linux (I tried Ubuntu 10). Also some time I took it for warranty service and they said that the material is fine, but I should "not use many programs at the same time and use Windowx XP.

  I understand the different devices (card WiFi, network card, webcam, etc.) inside the laptop are connected to some kind of usb hub. My guess is that it is something wrong with this "hub", given that the webcam works as defective.

  Thank you

  > From what I understand the different devices (card WiFi, network card, webcam, etc.) inside the laptop are connected to some kind of usb hub. My guess is that it is something wrong with this "hub", given that the webcam works as defective.

  No, the card WLan and LAN card are not connected to the USB just the webcam interfaces so it cannot be any USB issue.

  I think it might be a problem of Windows since Linux is OK

  I think you should check the power management settings in Windows 7 and card Wlan /LAN. This can be done in the Manager of devices-> WLan / LAN card-> Advanced tab properties.

  I also recommend upgrading from win 7 to the last installation of State all updates and patches

• Satellite C660-1NX freezes while stop after a new install of Win 7

  Hello!

  The first sorry for my English, I'm Spanish and use a translator.

  I have a Satellite C660-1NX (PSC1LE-00F00NCE), I had to reformat the computer, put on a clean Windows 7 64 x (no recovery) with all the original drivers giving the official page of Toshiba.

  Everything seems perfect, but when turn off the computer is frozen, I thought it was x 64 and x 86 and install the same, straight day, then started the same problem, eh update of the BIOS, as used before formatting it didn't happen, it's very weird.

  I find that the reason for the problem never happened to any computer that.

  Best regards

  and what happen when you install the system using the recovery disk?
  The laptop is too cold?

  I doubt that someone will be able to say why the unit does not close properly.
  First of all, I think its necessary to find out if its hardware or software problem.

  In the case where its software related issue, the recovery disc that contains the image of configured Toshiba should fix this annoying problem.

• Satellite C660-10 d - black screen after adding extra RAM!

  Hello world

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-10 d and have recently bought a 2GB additional RAM to upgrade my laptop to 4 GB in total. The RAM stick is identical to the 2 GB ram origin that settled in the laptop.

  I added the extra ram and when I turn on the laptop the screen remains black, however the laptop fans can be heard etc. When I remove the extra ram com starts up fine and shows the windows login screen. I also tried the two ram sticks on their own to slot 1 and both work well, its only when they are both in the connectors that I get the black screen.

  Any help asap would be fantastic.

  Concerning

  Griff

  > When I remove the extra ram the com starts up fine and shows the windows login screen.

  Its a problem with your extra RAM module.
  Is not fully compatible.
  Recommend you use two identical Kingston RAM modules, these modules are great, tested and provide good quality.

• Satellite L100-120 WLAN connectivity problem

  It is very difficult to connect to a wifi network, the activity is very slow between 200-500 bytes sent and received, and often, with excellent signal, I get the message "no or limited connectivity.

  Now I use an external adapter that gives me good connectivity, with 4 giga bytes sent and 23 giga bytes received. I updated the driver, now, I 10.5.1.59 version. He has not much improved. I'm still 6 months warranty, but I have trouble finding a service. I'm in France, Nancy and me told me that I have to pack up and send my laptop for service in another city. I wonder why can't help on the site, because the most likely solution is to replace the adapter.

  Can be worn for several days, it's hardly what I expect my laptop. It's a faulty device on my laptop, that gives me a lot of problem and to solve it, I have to endure more discomfort. I guess it's easier to buy an external device and forget that I already have one on my laptop.

  If someone could give me some advice, I would be very grateful, and if you can suggest a solution that would be really great.

  Hello

  I wonder if you tried to update the BIOS.
  To my knowledge the new BIO 2.0 should solve some problems with the WLan connectivity and performance.
  I recommend trying this.
  The BIOS is located on the site of Toshiba.

  A friend good luck :)
