Down Bluetooth on Satellite A660

• Satellite A660 - Bluetooth problem - disappeared from the bar of the State etc.

  Dear all,

  frustrated newbie.

  Bluetooth has disappeared from the system on my Satellite A660 tray and I can't work out how to get it back.
  It worked a few months ago, but since I don't use it everyday,
  I did not notice when he disappeared.

  I tried the fsquirt.exe thing, but the icon opens a window that does nothing (it seems to me that bluetooth is off but I can't find where to turn it on and Fn + F8 does not work).

  I have downloaded the driver atheros, which is extracted to a temporary folder and then does nothing.
  I think I need to uninstall - reinstall but do not know how to proceed.

  Any ideas appreciated.

  All this is a bit complicated on your laptop. I assume that stick Toshiba BT (BT software) is always pre-installed on your machine. Can you please check?

  Using the FN key combination you can toggle WIFI and BT. When you say that it does not work how to understand this? Can you turn on WLAN on/off? BT option IS missing? You can use the WLAN button placed between the keyboard and display (function keys)?

  Please check such fundamental things in first and post more details. Later we continue to discuss reinstalling drivers.

  Hello Ardo

  My advice to you is to contact Toshiba service as soon as possible. You bought the new product with a warranty and it should work. Describes problems sounds quite serious and you should not waste your time waiting for tips.

  Be honest, what can you do about it? Not much. You can try to reinstall OS, play with block power (start without battery, test with AC adapter only) remove the memory and check this yet, but in general, I put t think this will help.

  Contact the service and let them check your laptop.
  Do you know how to find the service provider authorized in your country?

• Satellite A660 - diagnosis of HD spin-up/down control

  I got my Satellite A660 back from the shop. They replaced the HD with a high reallouees area County in a report S.M.A.R.T. and they also replace the mobo due to BSOD and NVIDIA display driver stops.

  Since back them, I tried to find the source of a vibration felt at the touch pad (finger actually tingling). When I reported it to the Technical Support, they asked me to send it in their filing, what I'll do, but I was wondering if there was some kind of test, I could do before the arrival of their box. Because I don't have another machine, of course, it would help to be able to understand the case without sending it (but I can't disassemble the computer).

  However, if nothing can be done about it, even if I find a probable cause, it could accelerate things if I provide information about things that seem to cause vibrations. In order to avoid possibly send in, I wonder if these vibrations are necessarily harmful (I thought specifically about the consequences long term hard disk). They thought it might. Then send it I will.

  The vibration is not correlated with the fan - on time. At least not one that whirs every few seconds and causes the hot air to come out of the vent. I'm assuming that there is only one fan, based on information from a technician. I was wondering if it could be correlated with the rotation of the HD setting. Y at - it a diagnostic application that allows the user control if the disc is spinning?

  As far I know this app doesn't exist, and I also think that it can be really bad idea to use it. Why?
  Each of us want to have a very quiet machine, but the fact is that portable devices produces a lot of heat and material must be properly cooled.

  Several sensors placed on motherboard control material temperature and activate the cooling system (fan) if necessary. In advanced settings of power there is an option where you can reduce the level of method. You can try to use it.

  Anyway, if you have noticed anything on your laptop which can be defined as unusual or not normal contact service behavior and they should fix.

• Satellite A660 3rd party WLAN does not work

  Hello

  I had a problem with my WLAN adapter so I used to replace.
  Currently, I have installed card Broadcom Dell Wireless 1397.
  It has been defined by Device Manager and drivers have been installed.
  But it is impossible to turn on the WLAN.
  When I click the buttons activate WLAN, it just back to the OFF position.
  I also use Windows 10.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I own Satellite A660 - 16 M. Initially, it was equipped with Broadcom BCM4318 WLAN card. I decided to replace it with an Intel Centrino N-6230 dual band with 3.1 Bluetooth card. Replacement process was fairly easy, the problem was to make the new card working group. I use Windows 10 as an upgrade to Windows 7 Home. As you can imagine that the utility flash cards stopped working after the upgrade of the system, but Windows 10 has managed to cope with BCM4318 since the original drivers and Windows 7 registry entries have been always working in the background. The WLAN button above the keyboard worked, was so orange the LED in the front of the laptop.

  Situation changed completely with the new Intel Centrino 6230 N WLAN card. Despite he properly recognized by device with all the necessary drivers automatically responsible manager, I was unable to have the WLAN button and the LED orange work which is to turn on the radio (the card WLAN itself, its possibilities of wifi). The weird part is that the Bluetooth worked without any problems.

  The solution was to put a small piece of electrical tape on the 20 PIN of the new WLAN card to prevent WLAN DISABLE State presented to the motherboard. So RADIO WLAN is always on, so Windows 10 own wifi tools were able to switch on the WIFI network and... I see now all (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) wireless networks. Of course the WLAN button and the orange LED still haven't work (it seems that it is somehow hardcoded to support only the original BCM4318) but I don't love about it. The most important is that I'm now a lot more capable wireless network inside my laptop card.

  I hope that the solution above works in your case, 8stack. Watch the attached files to see what she looked like, as in my case.

• BT does not work on Satellite A660-13D

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-13D, and since a few days, Bluetooth does not work.
  In device manager it tells me everything is executed, but BT does not open.
  Can someone help me with this?

  Message was edited: assignment has been translated

  Hello

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. What you need to do is to activate the BT module correctly and software BT must start properly.
  Are you using the original operating system that you got with your laptop satellite? BT Stack (software) is installed on your machine?

• Satellite A660 - display seems to come out of the 'calibration '.

  I often hibernate instead of shut down or restart, even if I go to and from an administrator account to update Windows 7, Firefox and antimalware. I find that the screen tends to get all washed out, as if someone bent to the high brightness and reduces the contrast. It is not quite the same thing as the real Visual problem resembles a panel painted which is being altered, as white dither. It disappears after a reboot.

  Y at - it something of graphics can I reset manually rather than through a full reboot?

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. The same happens when you use the sleep mode?
  Using original pre-installed BONES that you got with your laptop or maybe clean version of the OS?
  The original Toshiba display driver you are using.

  Satellite A660 is not the laptop more recent, so it will be interesting to know since when did you notice this behavior.

• Satellite A660-18 - screen too bright if the update to the BIOS?

  Hi guys, I need your help with this laptop because it gives me a lot of problems.

  I changed the screen of this Satellite A660-18 because one had been installed has been damaged. I installed and works fine but I have problems with the brightness. When I click - on brightness, it goes back and when I click on + it breaks down. It is much too bright and want to do something about it.

  Bios help to solve this problem and how Flash the BIOS on these laptops? I flashed the BIOS on desktop pc but on that I don't see any way to do it. Is it possible to fix the screen without changing the BIOS? Some have said that I have to Flash the BIOS as new screens do not work 100% with old BIOS.

  Help, please

  Thank you

  Hi sky blue,

  You have an original spare part of Toshiba (display) or is it a 3rd party screen? It is important to use the Toshiba spare parts only because they are tested and designed for your Toshiba laptop. If you use 3rd party parts, they may not work.

  The version of the BIOS has nothing to with the brightness of the display and the brightness of the display can be changed with the key FN + F6/F7 combination, but not in the BIOS.

• Satellite A660 - USB 2.0 ports are inadmissible

  My laptop series Satellite A660 is a month old and worked fine so far. However, I turned on the machine and all the three Ports USB 2.0 are inadmissible. I Shut Down and restarted the computer - no change.

  (Windows 7-16 Bit OS) Control Panel - manage devices - it is said that all USB Ports 2.0 are recognized and working. In fact, NO device in one of the three (3) USB2.0 Ports are actually be recognized or working at all - there is no answer.

  Can anyone help?

  Should I just send it was pushing the shop? Yes, it's still under warranty.

  Hey,.

  > Should I just send it was pushing the shop?
  No, I think that it s just a USB driver problem.

  In your case I would reinstall the chipset of the official website of Toshiba driver. Also, you have the latest version, try to reinstall it because it contains the USB drivers and maybe it's something wrong with her s.

  After installation of the chipset driver test it again. If it doesn t work to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager and restart your laptop. The USB ports will be reinstalled automatically.

  What version of BIOS you have installed?

• Satellite A660-18 - WLan cannot be enabled - SOLUTION

  Awhile back I posted this message on my wireless LAN switching solution.

  I finally solved this annoying problem, my laptop is a Satellite A660-18

  Out of the box it just wouldn't connect to the wireless network. With the combination of keys Fn + F8 of the report: "Wireless communitcation is disabled, please enable the wireless communication switch.

  Of course there is no such switch, just the FN + F8 key combination. After having tried various forums and technical support, I solved the problem myself.

  * The solution is: *.

  Go to the folder on your c drive "program files\Toshiba\TBS. Then scroll down the list of program files and double-click the file named TBSWireless.exe and hey presto, wireless communication goes on (Amber Light lights on the lower right front of the computer). Now the combination of FN + F8 key it will turn on and.

  Bye to all

  But I just realized I forgot to mention, you just do this once after the FnF8 press key on functions correctly.

  I had to redo the procedure recently when I've updated my Bios system, the wireless Lan would pass on once again, regardless of how many times I pressed FnF8. But the routine above it sorted once more.

  So now, rather than to go through the routine of the entire folder/file, I just click right on the file of TBS and then selected send to the taskbar, so now if the problem persists, I just click the TBS icon in my taskbar.

  hope this helps,

• Satellite A660 - cooling fan is too slow

  Hello

  I own TOSHIBA Satellite A660 - 10 X
  the problem is that fan will slow (when the laptop starts its goes much faster that slowing it down). Problem is that the laptop is overheating and that it stops without any warning. I'm working on it and must be reliable.

  I tried the power management but there are only "optimized batery' or 'up', but at least it won't max for sure.

  Is it possible to check the speed of the fan? I tried several aplications to see fan speed but they do not work.

  And I never found fan in BIOS.

  You use applications that require a lot of graphics performance?
  S your laptop sitting on the desk when you work with it.

  Do not forget that all the vents, especially downstairs are not blocked somehow.

• Re: Satellite A660 - media buttons do not work

  First of all I apologize if my language is not good, because I'm Spanish.

  I have a * Toshiba Satellite A660-13D * and this model has a button touch media at the top, next to the keyboard. Here is a picture with the buttons marked in red: [http://forums.toshiba.com/tshb/attachments/tshb/brd_input/10621/1/Toshiba-Satellite-A660-Multimedia-Notebook.jpg]
  Two days ago the buttons works well. There are a few buttons, one for an ecological mode, one to turn wireless on or off, one for play/pause Media Player, etc.. These buttons work only those who turn up and down volume. The button that activates / deactivates the Mouse-touchpad does not work too.

  I'm looking for solutions, and one of them suggests the BIOS update. I tried to update my BIOS with the downloadable files of the Toshiba website for my model of PC, but when I run the executable, it always crashes with this message: Winflash for UEFI has stopped working. I read on someone with the same problem as me and someone replied that he should try executing the BIOS via a .iso file burned into a CD-Rom and boot from it. But, where I could get this .iso file? If I enter on the Toshiba site in English and go to the download section, I can't find my model Satellite, so I can not get the appropriate files. Is my Toshiba Satellite A660 13d, and I find only A660-ST2GX1, A660-BT2G22, A660-BT3N25X and similar products.

  I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this. Thank you.

• Cannot access drivers for Satellite A660 on Toshiba support website

  Hello

  I think I need to update the video drivers on my Toshiba laptop (it's a Satellite A660, but I don't think that's relevant).

  I tried to use the downloads on the Toshiba site page: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/download. It gives me no answer, no list of products, nothing, if I try to use the drop-down lists or enter in my laptop of reference directly.
  And it does the same thing using another laptop too.

• Satellite A660 - keys no longer work

  Hey,.

  I had a satellite A660 a few months now and recently, some tactile buttons have stopped working, including utilities eco shortcut programmable, wireless, play/pause, lighting and paved touch power button.

  Which makes it very difficult to use the laptop that I can use is no longer the touch pad, as he will start. I can only use the laptop when I have a mouse connected.

  How can I reallocate these buttons to their roles?

  Thanks in advance.
  Seraj.

  PS. I tried to install the value-added package with no result.

  Hi mark,

  You should try to reinstall Toshiba Value added Package, and Flash Cards Support utility. These tools are necessary for the illuminated buttons and keys FN. Cool it down, that you can download on the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Install VAP in a first time, and then restart your computer and then install the Flash Cards Support utility. Reboot once more and everything should work again :)
