Flashes and a beep on Satellite A660 - 11M
Hello
Is about 3 or 4 months ago, I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A660 - 11 M.
I noticed the following problem: lights from time to time my laptop occasionally fade or turn on (lights on Toshiba panell, the word 'Satellite' and the line on Touchpad) and a short beep sound rises.
This situation sometimes friequently (10 - 20 times in a row).
The worst situation is when (less frequently), the signal becomes continuous and reduced noise control noise at 0.
Such a problem occurs regardless of the load (this can happen even when the laptop does nothing) and foreign time - so I don't think that this is caused by overheating (laptop is not hot at all).
I thought that the problem is caused by one of the zillions of Toshiba programs installed on this poor PC.
I tried to delete everything (Toshiba Eco was the first alleged entity), but this did not help.
I thought that Toshiba Board (like the main among all these unnecessary programs) is causing the problem, but removal of it caused in the system crash.
Could someone tell me how to recover my laptop?
The current workaround is to turn off the beep (in soundcards), but I still see the lights flashing. So I healed a symptom, but not a problem
Thank you.
Hello
Multimedia keys are controlled by VAP (value added package), lighting controlled by BIOS too. You can enable and disable this in the BIOS settings.
TO be honest it of certainly not possible to say what s wrong precisely because you cannot reproduce this problem, it appears every time in awhile
What I can recommend, is the BIOS updated. This must be current and must be set to the default value (in the BIOS, press F9).
If the symptoms will appear again, then the Toshiba technician should check this

I can't get my Satellite A660 - 11M
I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 - 11M.
I want to wipe it to factory settings. I tried to do this using a disc I made when I got the laptop. However, when I use this, I access the menu screen is but do not have the HDDRecovery option at the bottom. I tried to make a new disc using Toshiba HDD Recoery but he says he has «no area HARD drive recovery»
I have a feeling that the problem is that my score HDDRECOVERY was damaged. How can it be solved?
A few weeks ago a program I used wrote the disk D: (HDDRECOVERY). I didn't want him, but it was a program stupid lol. Has it caused irreparable damage?
I really need to wipe it quickly, can you help me please fix it?
Hello
This missing option occurs if you want to install the recovery image using installation of HARD drive and it has nothing to do with the use of recovery disks.
When you use recovery discs, you will see another menu on the screen.I put t know what have you done in the past, but obviously recovery image stored on your laptop is not used or damaged. So only option is installation with recovery DVDs.
How al it works you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
If you have any other questions you are welcome.

trying to turn on my HP compaq d330 but red light flashes and a beep and nothing does not illuminate
trying to turn on my HP compaq d330 but red light flashes and a beep and nothing comes up on help a beginner please
You can try to remove and replace the memory and see if it works.
If this does not work, delete all except one module of memory (if the PC has more than one) and see if the PC works normally with the chip memory. If it beeps, remove and replace it with the memory you removed and keep doing that until you find the defective memory chip.

No idea how to solve this problem?

Did you find this series on the Toshiba driver page?This series is in the list and you can find the drivers for Win 7 64 bit it.

In addition, you must clean the registry with CCleaner it the free tool, niceIf this does not work, try reinstalling the new OS

Satellite A660 - 11M - some become blurred
Hi guys, looking for help.
The sound on my laptop (satellite a660 - 11 m) has intermittently become garbled. Almost like a rumble of base. sounds terrible, almost as if the speakers are blown if it makes no sense.
All ideas, IV ' e he was only 3 months old
Hi Mel_2,
You may notice the same behavior if you connect headphones or external speakers?
For me, this looks like a bad sound setting. You should check the sound card options and perhaps reinstall the driver could help you. :)

Hello
The WiFi network can be switched on and off using the FN + F8 key combination.
Have you tried that?Also update the WLan driver. Can be useful too.
If the FN buttons would not work, you must reinstall the VAP (value added package) and Flash memory card Support utility.Good luck

Satellite A660 - 11 M - vents on the body
Hi all!
Last week, I started to play ARMA 2 on my SATELLITE A660 - 11M and after 20 minutes of play, it of hot and automatically closed. I read a lot of topics in the forum and decide to clean the cooler with compressed air can. Suddenly ive noticed this laptop isn't under the reoxygenation of body orifices, exactly where where is the cooler fan. To describe this more correctly, I can say that on the side rear of the body of the laptop there is circle from vents but this grid is absolutely fully molded.
I think it comes to Foundry defects.Anyone has the same problem? How can I do a breakdown of the holes?
Hey,.
If you mean the holes to vent on the bottom of your computer, I can say it s normal Satellite A660 doesn t have a. Friend of me has the same laptop as you and its a doesn t have holes to.
So everything is ok with your laptop!It would interesting to know, if you have installed another nVidia display driver directly. These drivers have another thermal management and can cause problems.
I recommend you to install the latest Toshiba display driver which is pretested.

Enter the power management you are using and click on advanced power options. There you should find Toshiba energy savings. -

Satellite A660: Comment and a question about button lighting / mute
Note:
Hi, I'm the proud owner of a satellite A660-166 (3 days) and I installed everything from scratch on the win 7 pro because I got my laptop with a home (need pro for work) version... I met some problems, but this forum really answered my questions :) Never found such a useful for technical support forum. I wanted to express my gratitude and my support for everything you do for users :)
Problem: well, this isn't really a problem, more a curiosity... I had a few problems with the key eco, at this time there button lighting / mute was to mute... Thank you guys, I found out what needed to be done, I reinstalled the Flash card software and everything worked properly more the lighting button / mute has been for enlightenment now. I have nothing against that, I prefer it like this, but I wonder how to change that... I found some response on the use of toshiba wireless Assistant and the illumination tab... Because my laptop is fairly new, that I do not have a tab of enlightenment, I was wondering how to change the mute button if I want to?
Thanks, keep up the good work!
It's nice to hear that you found answers to your questions here. Many people here trying to help.
Back to your question: it is not easy to give a precise answer and I really put t know if you can change the settings of a single button. I think it has something to do with the registry entries, but how to change, that's another question.
If you use this button for lighting ON / OFF, you can use FN + ESC for the mute button so you have two options that can be used with a touch or quick key combination.
Can you please test and confirm that it works correctly?
