• Re: Life of the battery of the Satellite A660-141

  How does the satellite A660-141 has a battery 6 cells as many other toshiba models, but has a maximum of 4h15min! How is it?

  More than 4 hours on Satellite A660. It's great!
  I have more Satellite A300 and I can work on battery power max 2.5 hours. It's good enough for this laptop, but a little more time will be better of course.

  What is your experience with Satellite A660? To be honest, I think about exchanging my machine with this new model.

• How to reset the password on the Satellite U200-181?

  Greetings!

  Sorry for my English.
  I have laptop Toshiba Satellite U200-181 and all documents of (check, guaranteed).
  When the computer starts, it asks to enter the password of the BIOS... I called in the service center in Russia, but they told me that they have no response Codes

  I have PC Serial No.. and challenge the Code... What I need to do now? I don t want to pay $ 70 for reset password... Please help :)

  Best regards, Sergey

  Hello Sergey

  Please don't be crazy about me, but you don't understand how it works. To reset the BIOS Center Toshiba password control needs code given by your laptop model. Shortly after, they send a new return code and after you enter this code, that the BIOS password is removed.

  Allowed only in your country service provider can contact Toshiba control center and service just to get back the information. With short words: private person like you have no chance to remove the BIOS password. I hope you understand why it. If this is not the case, let me know that I'll explain.

  Sorry, but you need to call the service.

• Re: Extra partition on the Satellite A660

  Today, I bought my Satellite A660. Because it was a showroom model, the seller perform a (very long) factory settings reset.

  On this laptop, I see only a single disk partition (volume) visible: C-560 GB volume.

  In disk management, there are altogether 4 partitions:
  -recovery partition: 1.46 GB
  -primary partition: 25,05 Go, which I can remove only, no other function is possible
  -primary partition: 9,61 Go, which I can remove only, no other function is possible
  -primariy partition, system startup,...: 560 GB = C-volume

  I guess the 2 primary partitions (25.05 and 9.61 GB) are hidden, partitions used to reset to the factory settings. I know that it is better to leave them alone; You never know. On the other hand, why would there be two?

  I can release about 280 GB for a new partition.

  When I try to create a volume D, the system informs me that this operation requires dynamic disks and the following States that there is insufficient disk space to perform this action.
  When I navigate around on some internet for one, I learn that the standard Windows can support up to 4 partitions.

  If that were the case, partitions to delete for me to create this second volume?
  If there is another reason why I can't create my second volume (D), can someone explain to me what is the problem and how can I solve this problem?

  Kind regards

  At first, I have to say that everything is fine there and if you have good operating system at first, please create restore using preinstalled Toshiba Recovery media creator DVD. To create recovery discs use DVD-R virgins only.

  So, after doing this, you can do experiments with your new Satellite phone and optimize the partitions. If something goes wrong, you can use the created recovery DVD and reinstall the OS.
  For this application use out of the box.

  You know I have Satellite A660 and have tested all recovery options to see how this works exactly and what is happening with each available recovery option. All this is not so bad, but maybe a little complicated.

  In front of me I have original preinstalled A660 and open disk management and the situation is a little different as on your laptop.
  Follow the partitions appear:
  # 1.46 GB (recovery partition) Please note this score has nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery procedure
  GB partition # 453,89 it's partition C shown in Windows Explorer
  GB hidden # 10.46 on this partition partition is saved Toshiba recovery image so if you want to use the disk HARD recovery option do not delete it.

  So I really don t know why you have 4 of them.
  I recommend you to follow:
  # create recovery DVDs
  # install new OS using the HDD recovery procedure (F8 at startup > fix my computer) and selected the option out of the box.

  During the installation of recovery is complete, you will have the same State of partitions of HARD drive than I. You can enter the disk management shrink volume C (for example 200 GB less than before) and on this unallocated (200 GB) partition to create the new partition.

  If you have any other questions let me know.

• Need information about the Satellite A660 - 18 d

  I'm considering the purchase of Satellite A660 18 * N * laptop and have been Curry to take a look, however, I only found the 18 * D *, which does not appear to exist based on the toshiba site. It is a real product?
  And if so, what are the differences between this and the 18.

  Computers notebooks are specific products of country so you won't find them all in your country. All you can do is buy laptops offered in your country with the right language of the OS.

  In any case, I think that both models should be offered to the United Kingdom, but I'm not 100% sure on this subject.
  Have you checked if the other store offers 18?

  Difference?
  Only difference, I found it is CPU. 18 has Intel Core I7-740QM and 18(d) a processor Intel Core I7-720QM.

  My Satellite A660 - 11 M keyboard does not work properly. Some keys type, others type the wrong letter/number.
  Replace the keyboard usually solves the problem? Keyboards are available for this model?

  The new keyboard can be ordered from a Toshiba ASP in your country.

• How can I remove password from the documents that I have permission to post?

  My insurance company sent me the documents & Billing notice requiring that enter a password to view.  Of course, I know the password, but it takes a long time to use it every time.  Is there a way to remove the requirement of password on the DC drive for documents sent to me?

  Hi daltxjim,

  If you know the password and have access to Acrobat, then you should be able to remove the password of security. Just choose file > properties after you open the PDF file, then click on the Security tab in the Properties dialog box to change the security settings. Unfortunately, this is not something you can do in Reader.

  Best,

• How to remove the password on the Satellite 4600?

  On this unit there is a password when loading, unless he is blocked access to a computer, and the password is lost. How to reset the password? Maybe there is no service password?

  Hello

  There is no password service but the service method. Contact service partner in your country and they will remove it for you. It costs but not much.

  Best solution is to ask the previous owner on correct password.

• Update BIOS password on the Satellite P200

  Hello

  I had a model number P200 laptop computer satellite PSPB6E-03G02TEN fongr in the last two months.

  On the navigation of the Toshiba support and dowloads I looked up my model etc number to see what that downloads were available. Is he saying there were several updates and the other that it was an update of the bios. As the current bios was for 2007 and it was for 2008, I thought I might as well upddate.

  Being a beginner and not realizing how the bios is on a computer - and there is nothing to say it needed an expert--I have conclusive to download.

  I thought it was going well and he came to my computer to restart. However, when it happened it says it need a password and did doesn't have a clue what they were talking about. The recovery disk has failed.

  I contacted Toshiba and I now have to take the laptop to a Toshiba service repairman here in Poole, Dorset.

  I am now worried in case I've done something that invalidate my warranty.

  Why Toshiba do not send these updates if they can do this damage in inexperienced hands. I'm angry at myself and would not have hit with a barge pole if I had know the importance of the bios. I know that I will never touch it again.

  Would appreciate some sympathy.

  Hello

  I understand your situation. You´re worried but not just for you, also about Toshiba why they release these updates for important parts of a computer that do not work correctly.
  Don t worry, you do nothing wrong. Your warranty would be invalid after that. The repair will be covered by the warranty of your machine and after that nothing cannot be revoked or not valid. So Don t worry, the guys in the shop/repair service center will fix this and I hope that you´re not worried to do a BIOS update next time.

  I promise you it happened only once and you don t have doubts if it will never happen. I mean, I have computers laptop toshiba for years and I have never such problems. With this bios password, I found a big problem the first time Toshiba and I hope that they won´t remake such a failure.

  Welcome and good weekend
