Hello

I would not recommend to disassemble the laptop only to clean the fans.
Disassembly is delicate and you will lose the warranty.
But it is important to know that you can clean the fans using a jet of compressed air. It's good enough to get dust and debris removed cooling modules.

  • How can I disable tap-to-click on the Satellite C660/C660D?

    There is no option to disable it on this laptop, I looked for the answer online but nothing, there seems to be no way to do it on this laptop model. I tried to download the new driver for touchpad of the site but had absolutely no effect and gave me more options to turn it off, it has changed nothing. Now completely stuck and its driving me crazy!

    The mouse click also on its own randomly even if Im not to touch, always seems to hurt when im game.

    I still want to use the touch pad to move the pointer autour, just don't want to use it to click.

    As far as I know the Satellite C660 supports Synaptics touchpad.
    The Synaptics touchpad driver should support the tap to click option.

    In order to ensure that Synaptics driver has been installed.
    Then go to control panel-> mouse-> last tab (button settings)
    Now, you need to access the properties of Synaptics and here you should find the option called tapping

  • Upgrade of RAM up to 8 GB on the Satellite C660-180

    Hey guys,.

    Thanks a lot for taking a peek at my post.
    I have the Satellite C660-108. I think the upgrade to 3 GB up to 8 GB ram.
    I'll be very grateful if someone could answer my questions before making a purchase.

    It is a model of Ram. I think of buying.

    Kingston HyperX Plug and Play DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 8GB SODIMM Memory Module

    I wonder if it would correspond to my laptop?

    Also, I found this on C660-108

    Type: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD
    amount of memory: 1 273 MB shared memory with 3 GB of installed system memory and up to 1 696 MB with 4 GB of system memory, (with system of 64-bit pre-installed operating)
    memory type: shared.

    If I update up to 8 GB ram it would mean my graphics system memory will be up 3 392 MB as well?

    Thank you very much.

    Kit

    According to the technical page of Toshiba laptop, 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB) are certainly possible.
    Kingston is a good manufacturer of RAM and provide good quality modules.

    The RAM modules should support the following sepcs:
    DDR3 1066 MHz (PC3-8500)

    Processor PENTIUM P6100 (2.00 GHZ) supports a 1,066 MHZ FSB and therefore the PC3-8500 must operate at full speed 1066 MHz

    > f I upgrade ram to 8 GB it would mean my graphics system memory will be up 3 392 MB as well?
    More RAM means more can be shared with the GPU, but this is controlled by the graphics driver automatically.

  • Modeling 3D (Sketch Up) programs keep crashing on the Satellite C660 - 28 d

    Hi guys,.

    Obtained the Satellite C660 - 28 d to Christmas as my old laptop was dying on its feet. So far I've had no problems with it, except for when you use a selection of programs, namely Sketch Up and the rhinoceros are two 3D modeling programs. Strangely enough, AutoCAD Revit works great, I have imagined would have been more demanding on the system.

    When Rhino opening he allows me to choose my model before crashing and displaying a message saying "Rhino 4.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close" and with Sketch Up I get again select a model but then a message saying "Google SketchUp has produced a bug splat and needs to close" followed by a similar error report form that never works when I try and send the error. This is happening on SketchUp 8, after having uninstalled and reinstalled SketchUp 8 and then uninstall and install SketchUp 7, all with the same result.

    It has been suggested to me that there is an error with the graphics card and I have to download a driver, but the only driver on the Toshiba site that would make sense to me is the display driver, I have installed and makes no difference.

    Please help me, I need the use of these types of programs for the University.

    Hello

    It is possible to have these problems because of display driver.
    You should maybe contact the software manufacturer and ask for help. Toshiba doesn't third party software support. Software maker has better experience with own product. I presume that what they have tested on different platforms and need to know what can be the problem.

    Hello

    As far as I know you must remove the battery, HARD drive, optical drive, keyboard and displays first Assembly. After that, you must remove 20 screw on the underside (about 15 black screws, two black screws in the mea optics and bays of battery and four silver screws for the video monitor port and the parallel port).

    After this, return the unit and remove the five screws black. Before you lift the top cover of the computer s chassis, remove the following cables:
    -FPC TouchPad cable
    LED/button cable FFC
    -Speaker cable

    Sorry but I can't give you more information. This time, I did it for a long time.

    Good luck and be careful

  • How to clean the Satellite L modules cooling?

    Hello

    my laptop is having a few problems "breathe."
    The fan is constantly strong even when I use it practically not more it turns off after about an hour when I really started to work seriously with modelling 3d or play challenging games...

    I was wondering if I could lose the warranty if I clean myself and if there is somewhere on this site or the statement of web on how to do it?

    Help please!

    Hello

    You will not lose warranty if you would not disassemble the laptop.
    You can clean the cooling fans with a jet of compressed air.
    This allows to remove dust from the fans.

    Also, here is a useful document of Toshiba I found here in the forum:

  • How do I disassemble the Satellite P200-12U to clean

    Hello

    Sorry for my English.

    I would like to disassemble my P200-12U. I am looking for the schematic.
    My laptop is not guaranteed.
    My hot graphics cards and my laptop down. I want to clean it up.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Hello

    The procedure of disassembly notebook is very complicated and delicate!
    Usually, it's not easy to do this and in most cases that it s undesirable because it could damage other parts.

    If your laptop turns off automatically, then it means that the cooling modules don't work properly and can not cool the CPU or GPU correctly.

    I had this problem too, but might solve this cleaning of the fans.
    But guess what? I didn't disassemble the laptop but I cleaned the modules of cooling using a jet of air only!
    Using a jet of compressed air, you can remove the dust very easily and it works!

    Check it!

    PS: you also use the Toshiba graphics card driver because these drivers support the overheating protection.

  • Slow down the Satellite C660 - physical memory 93%

    Hello

    Asked me to replace a screen on my Satellite C660 sons, of whom one.
    After testing the laptop, I noticed that it was incredible slow. I asked him why he was so slow, and he says he was always slow because he bought 10 months ago to Argos (it s her first laptop and it is not very computer savvy)

    In any case, I ran a scam and spyware anti-virus and nothing was found.
    So I decided to do a factory reset (f8) but the problem is still there.
    My other son who lives with me as the same laptop (only difference is a pro) and the difference between then as night and day.

    I noticed that physical memory is always about 93% without anything running in the Task Manager and its fan is constantly every minute or so.

    Suggestions regards D

    What is the exact model number Satellite C660-xxx
    RAM memory how this laptop stand?

    For most system runs slowly because of the high amount of processes that are running in the background.
    It s advisable to check the MSCONFIG Startup tab and disable some really important processes.
    I also recommend cleaning with CCLeaner system and possibly the RAM should be improved if it s too low.

    Hi all
    Just a quick question. How can I restore my Toshiba Satellite C660 to factory settings? I have no disk recovery etc., and there is nothing on the PC I need to back up. Just a simple factory to its original settings restore,

    Some sites say press 0 (zero) and follow the instructions. Others say press F8 and follow the instructions. I hope that one of them is correct but which?

    I think that no one here can tell you how much it costs. Contact the closest service provider for Toshiba and talk with them. They can tell you how much it will cost.

    Theoretically, you can do this alone, but if you n t have experience with this kind of things I think that this should be done by a technician.
