• Continual loss of wireless connection with Satellite C660

  Hello

  I hope that someone out there might be able to help.

  I've had my Satellite C660 for about 18 months now. Since the first day we had continual problems connecting to the wireless network. It connects but then lost the connection again a few minutes later, and then after a few more minutes, he reconnects. And the circle continues. An Ethernet cable didn't improve things.

  Initially, the problem is solved by leaving the laptop computer charger plugged, randomly that solved the problem and that is not ideal, I went with it because it worked.

  We have new broadband services and the router installed and the problem came back now, but this time the fix of power cable does not work, and once again an Ethernet cable does not work.

  The laptop is now continues to lose the connection, and it's very frustrating. I have 2 other laptops from Dell, 2 tablets, and they all work very well, never losing connection.

  Can someone give me it please advice on what could cause this problem and how to fix it (easily!).

  I can't wait to hear your thoughts and thank you in advance for your help.

  > Initially solved the problem by letting the laptop computer charger plugged, randomly that solved the problem and that is not ideal, I went with it because it worked.

  I think WiFi disconnects due to energy savings.
  As you say, linking the main specifications address the issue. I think because of the connection of the AC adapter, the laptop switches to another profile of power where Wlan energy saving is disabled.

  Therefore, I recommend to change the power profile that is used in battery mode.
  -> Panel-> power option choose the power profile that you use in battery mode
  Now, select advanced to change power settings
  You will find an option called settings of the adapter wireless (or something like that)
  The mode option of battery and AC adapter must use the performance parameters

• Satellite C660-173 is not all start

  Hello

  I have a Satellite C660-173, the laptop was working fine yesterday, but today I tried to boot the machine and the screen is completely black, I can hear the fan turns and then after say 30 seconds, it turns off.

  Have removed the battery and pressed the button for 30 seconds and reconnected everything with the same result, we know what could be the problem?

  Thank you

  >... the screen is totally black, can hear the fan turns and then after say 30 seconds it turns off.
  It sounds pretty bad and for me definitely as corrupt BIOS. You have maybe updated BIOS or done something that may be responsible for this?

• Problems with Satellite C660 wireless

  My day 7 old Satellite C660 is constantly does not connect to wireless internet. It connects then stops loading web pages. I don't get no access or limited access note on the tray icon of system, but when I display the available networks it shows as connected with good resistance. I have 4 other wireless devices that runs through the same connection without problem. I checked the driver for my wireless card, and it is up to date.

  It drives me crazy and I think again the laptop to the store for a refund. Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  Steve

  Check if the BIOS update is available.
  Only thing you can do is update the BIOS in the hope that everything will be OK.
  I put t really know what else you can try.

  Did you perhaps tested WLAN connectivity by router s friend?

• Satellite C660-28 d - problem "Load driver" with the new HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-28 t.

  The hard drive has failed. I called Toshiba Support who send me a replacement.

  However in the meantime I was going to put in my spare hard drive and do a fresh install of another operating system that I have a spare for (Win 7) key.

  However, I can't past the screen "Loading Drivers" as the laptop came with driver disks.
  I can't find the drivers on the Toshiba site (I tried some drivers intel which I thought were good, but he says they were not signed and all comes down to the loading screen drivers).

  I have made the recovery discs, but obviously can not use them on the new hard drive as it doesn't have the recovery partition.

  Any ideas on where I can get the proper drivers from?

  Thank you

  > I made the recovery discs, but obviously can not use them on the new hard drive as it doesn't have the recovery partition.

  If you have a recovery disk using Toshiba preinstalled recovery media creator tool, you just have to boot from that disk to begin the installation.

• On Satellite C660-1J2 keyboard problems

  I have 2 laptops from Toshiba, type Satellite C660-1J2 used by 2 different people and we both have the same problem.
  The problem is with typing, many times it jumps a letter and sometimes a letter not to show, and then when you hit it again you get 2 letters and sometimes just get 2 letters to hit once.

  We tested it and it's a real big problem for us, because we use it for school...

  Help us please!

  Update the BIOS this will certainly solve!
  There are a lot of discussions on this issue and the update of the BIOS helped to address this problem.

  In addition, I found this article in the knowledge base:

• Constant faults with satellite C660

  At the present time, I am more than just a little ticked off so I will try my best not to go off on a mug shot.

  Then I decided I would buy a laptop from Argos, I chose the Satellite C660 which cost me £300, and the first was faulty within weeks, it wouldn't read the Wifi card and I could not even anywhere near update even if that was the problem. So I had a second, worked well for 2-3 months, and then at the end of July it suddenly wrong.

  The error was with the hard disk, the hard disk had some how becomes corrupt, but firstly I decided I would buy recovery disks that cost £30 and took almost a week to arrive.

  Ultimately the recovery disks did not solve my problem so I rang the customer Service and they told me I could either send for repair, get a new hard drive sent me or send it to argos and get a replacement.

  Not even a month on the line and the SAME problems arose. Now I'm not sure that my anti virus was silly and allowed a virus to sneak into systems and corrupt once again, the concert stick which has been a cause of the second break was NOT used after to be sure.

  The anti-virus was Virgin Media Security Center, and even if some errors which is is past that have not been to painful difficulty it has worked well.

  But today, I uninstalled a program called Ventrilo so that I could reinstall it due to the fact that suddenly, she works correctly (suspect last night could be the beginning of my laptop once again to go to hell) last night, I used a Web site to see how I could completely remove ventrillo, and I followed the steps.

  As soon as I deleted the file ventrilo BAM the laptop went crazy! I rebooted, it don't think it would take just a reboot... once it is loaded, no background would show, a lot of error messages and I aircraft to the system restore 3 times. So I decided I want to reformat my laptop.

  That's where it went worse again, as soon as I entered the recovery disks the wrong hard drive shot, he began to reformat error only 5 seconds later saying no recovery of files found.

  Seriously toshiba, how much more portable that I am will have to be repaired or replaced before finally getting one that works 100%, why should not only claim a first thing in the morning, because ive got the reception has not been able to buy 3 years extra warranty (fortunately I still have 1 year of warranty) so I could do it now. im sick and tired of having a new piece of computer toshiba laptop for a short time then suddenly go faulty, especially when before you download anything, I make sure that I have downloaded to ensure responsible for anti-virus as his protégé.

  My moms laptop is HP and is 4 years old and STILL works very well, Yes, of course it heat up too much otherwise is based on a good surface, but still, how does a cell phone 4 years compared to a who apparently 3 months old laptop can work BETTER, is not what he supposed to be the other way around?

  EDIT: I just went through the forums, it seems that this brand has SO much go wrong with it in the first 3 pages only.

  Hello Steelworkers

  Sorry to hear (read) all that but what about?
  It's really funny in our life. With some things, we are more than satisfied and happy, but sometimes we just out of luck.

  Toshiba sells millions of laptops and probably thousands of Satellite C660 and there is always the risk that some of them are troublemakers. It is with other electronic products, cars, different machines and so on.

  I know you won t hear it but your only chance is to stay in contact with Toshiba service provider and if all goes well they will help you with all these issues.

  I must also say that over the last decade I have use Toshiba notebooks only. I had a few small problems too but it was always repaired quite quickly and I was able to continue my work.
  When you analyze markets for laptop, you will notice that the products are quite similar. You can't tell A manufacturer has much better quality than the manufacturer B. The level of prices is the same and the quality as well. What makes the difference is the hardware configuration and design, but all the rest is quite similar.

  One last thing: I agree with you on the old notebooks. I'm also sure that older models were much better, but what I can say for Toshiba tool Mr. I really missed some old models like Satellite 5200 or Satellite P20 of Mr. I had two of them, and I can say that they were ahead of the development and design.

  Bye and good luck.

• How to connect by Satellite C660-26Z to TV?

  My laptop Satellite C660-26Z doesn't have a HDMI port plug,
  so, how can I connect a laptop cable to use my TV screen.

  Maybe, I need to use decision-making (VGA) port external monitor on my laptop with a special connection cable? Let me know, thank you, Terry.

  Hello

  It depends on the available TV ports.
  Check the ports that are supported by the TV. Recommend to read also the TV manual for more information on the available ports.

  Fact is that this laptop supports just a RGB (VGA) output port. No HDMI or DVI port is available. So you can use just a VGA cable
  Now the question is which port can be used as part of VGA cable.

• HDMI / projector with Satellite L50-B-2FN problem

  Hello!

  HDMI / projector with my brand new Toshiba problem.

  My computer laptop hdmi works fine with my tv Samsung, no problem. I simply press F4 and select how I want my second screen action on my tv.
  But when I connect my laptop to my Optoma HD67 projector I have no picture but sound works.

  I can see in the portable computers Panel for program HD-chart that Optoma is found as a second screen feature and is named: digital TV Optoma 04 3.

  But there is no way to make it work. And I tried all the settings available for the second screen (my OptomaHD67). One is the refresh rate which contains the following values: 60/59/50/30/29/25/24 and 23 Hz p. When to choose between 30 to 23p Hz Optoma said popupscreen found but shows only a blinking screen! What we call the war of ants here in Sweden.
  By choosing from 60 to 50 Hz p, nothing happens.

  If I chose VGA projector works whit my laptop, but I want it to work with HDMI!

  Yes, I have havetested different hdmi cables and right know I use the cable that works with my Samsung tv. Not a problem of hdmi cable.

  My Toshiba:

  As I see your validation on your laptop computer HDMI port works perfectly.
  In my opinion, you should contact Optoma support and ask for help.
  Maybe they can help you with that. I mean they know product clean and I don't know there is some thing that must be done and video input on your projector turned on.

• Connection with the Apple ID server problem

  iCloud on my ASUS ZENBOOK can not connect.  It always returns a connection error message: there is A PROBLEM CONNECTING WITH THE APPLE ID SERVER.

  My laptop is an ASUS model UX303L (64-bit) running Windows 10 Home, Version 1511.

  Key points:

  (1) I have connected to my very well through several iPhones iCloud account, multiple iPads, an iMac and another ZBOX PC running the same version of Windows 10.  (Confirms that it is not a problem of "User" with me trying to use the wrong password).

  (2) from my laptop problem, I can connect to the internet fine iCloud - Chrome and Firefox version by.

  (3) I have the latest version of iTunes on the laptop, which starts very well and logs in my iTunes store (.. .in the Australia).  [This is interesting, because I guess that both iTunes and iCloud connect to the same server Apple ID to check the details].

  (4) I made sure that Windows is completely up to date, and that my office 2013 is also entirely up-to-date, with a full stop/restart of the laptop to make sure that nothing is installed in half.

  (5) I uninstalled iCloudand reinstalled from a new download.  Did not help.

  (6) before the iCloud upgrade to the latest version there is + 2 weeks (I'm now on the 5.2.1.69 Version), iCloud worked perfectly, including the good synchronization of Outlook calendar and favorite contacts on different browsers.  I want to try and reinstall the old version - see if that restores me to my nirvana earlier, but I couldn't find anyway to do.

  Suggestions as to best 'next steps', I can take would be highly appreciated...

  I have exactly the same problem... is there any help for us?

  So far, I've been forced to use Windows 7

• Satellite C660-1TT - BIOS problems

  Hi all...

  I sat and would update the bios for my Toshiba Satellite C660-1TT (PSC1QE-01D006N5)

  Sloopy as I was, I left the computer to get a coffee, * obviously one of my children was there * and press a few buttons. This resulted in the computer 'frozen' after a while I was forced to turn off.

  Now change back the time and date each time I start the computer, and I can´t get the wifi to work.
  I tried to reinstall the bios again but then get the message that I already have the same or more recent bios and installation is complete.

  Someone who can tell if I wrong somehow the computer into thinking it is a newer version or the mabye bring in the former and then update?

  Grateful for any help! Robert

  (excuse my bad English)

  Hello

  To my knowledge it is not possible to downgrade the BIOS in windows mode, because you will always have a notification, this new version is already installed.
  To my knowledge the ASP technician Toshiba may downgrade the BIOS but only using the traditional version of BIOS (BACK).

  But I recommend to test this workaround solution.
  Shut down the laptop. Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Now let the laptop disconnected for a longer period of time, I think about 3-4 hours
  Then plug the battery adapter and ac and access the BIOS by pressing F2 to turn on/off the unit.
  Here, you must set the default BIOS (F9) and save the changes.
  Now, start Notepad and check how it would work.

  Usually, the date and time resets because the CMOS battery is empty. But I can't imagine that this could be a problem here, however, you can reload the CMOS battery running the laptop on area for 18 to 20 hours. During this time the laptop must be ONE.

• Satellite C660 2QH WLAN problem--loss of connection all the ~ 30 min

  Hello world

  I just bought a SAT C660 nine Toshiba and I faced a strange problem - I lose the internet connection every 30 minutes for about 3-5 minutes, then it connects all of a sudden again.

  I've been reading about the problem here and I fixed my power settings (although this also occurs when the laptop is plugged in), and I installed the new WLAN driver: 1005.19.0420.2011 (my Wireless LAN Adapter is: 8188CE). I thought that he that could have the problem in my anti-virus program, so I uninstalled. A few restarts later everything was as before - problem persists.

  Help, please!

  PS. I'm from Germany, where this is relevant.

  Hello

  Are you sure this isn't question of Wlan router?
  It would be interesting to know if you have the same problems with other devices connected to the Wlan.

  Next to the idea that this could be a router issue I think you should check some WLan Card settings.
  In the Wlan card-> properties-> tab Device Manager to disable the option to turn off the device to save power.

  You said that you have installed/updated test driver the driver from Realtek page too.

• Problem with wireless connection with Satellite U500

  Hello
  Three months ago, I bought a Toshiba laptop Satellite U-500 (Windows Vista). I have a problem with the wireless connection - sometimes, it does not work and I have to restart pressing F8 and repair, then the connection is re-established; If I put into hibernation the connection is intact, but after a stop the problem maybe redo surface after the 2nd or 3rd session.

  I tried to format it, but it worked only for a while. The 2nd item in network adapters in the device (Realtek RTL8192E Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC) Manager shows a yellow exclamation point. The message is this:
  "This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

• Satellite C660 - 21 c - problems with modules of RAM

  Hello

  I was considering upgrading my RAM for my C660 - 21 c from 4 GB to 8 GB. So I decided to leave my 4 GB of ram in the ram slot to see the name & type of latter. Once I did, I inserted it, however, now, when I press the power button, the laptop turns on for about 5 seconds then turns off.

  I checked the stick of ram in both slots and it s certainly equipped properly. Is could someone please tell me what is the problem? I got a stick of ram dead for some reason any or if I've done a few other serious effects for the machine, i.e. static destroying the ram or the whole machine?

  Could someone help troubleshoot the please my problem?

  Thank you

  Chris

  Have you unplugged the AC adapter / CC and removed the battery before you start playing with the memory modules?

• Problems of heat with Satellite M70-173

  Need some advice.
  Have in last few weeks found that all side and sometimes in the middle of the laptop its got very hot to the touch.
  Have no idea what could cause this?

  Hi mate,

  I think it could be a cooling system that is full of dust. If the cooling system is clogged with dust and then the machine cannot carry enough heat of your machine which has been generated by the processor and graphics card. The result of this could be overheating, software errors and finish hardware malfunction.

  So, my advice to you: go to the next radio Shack or electronic market and buy a box with compressed air. Some blowing AIR gently hollow the vents and if dust comes out then you know where the problem is. Just clean the entire cooling system and make sure the cooling system is almost free of dust.

  Welcome them
