• Satellite L505D turns on itself automatically

  My turns laptop is itself back on after that I stopped him.

  This usually happens in the next minute, after that I'm done. I checked all possibilities, such as WOL etc in the bios.
  I disabled it. The only way for me to keep it off is to remove the battery with pulling on the power cord.

  Can I have installed a program that says it puts in work, but I do not know how to find the program that does.

  Laptop is only 4 months old. Any ideas? Thank you.

  > Can I have installed a program that says it puts in work, but I do not know how to find the program that does

  Are you sure that you have installed these applications or you make only a few assumptions to 100%?
  Maybe you should pick up the laptop using Toshiba Recovery disk or using the Toshiba HDD recovery option.
  Then check if the laptop can turn off properly.

  If this isn't the case, then try to update the BIOS.

  Good luck

• Satellite C660 - is don't turn does not on

  Hi all

  Just got a new laptop Satellite C660-PSC1LA-00J001, which initially had 2 GB of ram in the shop, but has been improved with another 2 GB to 4 GB (upgraded in-store). Have unpacked box and the connection of all the cords power supply etc., power button and a red light entry the. After that a little more an another green light came. After a few other time two lights are green. However, the screen remained black. I left it like that for two years and a half hours recommended to set the duration, but it did not a thing since. I tried to turn it off by holding the button for a few seconds, but it still doesn't react.

  It sounds like this problem is to do with the new ram module that has been placed in it? I don't know that I'm confident enough to begin by removing and trying again or not. Shall I take back to the store? Or maybe you guys ideas to try. I don't want to destroy the laptop when I have not used yet. I know a little about computers but did not trust in case of problem with my limited knowledge. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  The initial configuration is possible if your computer starts correctly and Windows should be started. If you n t see anything on the screen it seems to be a serious malfunction of equipment.

  Anyway, these things shouldn't t happen on a new laptop and in your case I return the phone and ask for a replacement model. I m that the seller has other C660 models in range to take another one that you can be happy with your new Toshiba computer ;)

• Can I turn off webcam on my Satellite C660 - 1 7?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C660 - 1 7 and I would like to disable or turn off my Webcam.

  Is this possible please?

  J

  Hello

  To be honest I don't understand your question. Webcam is on if use you it with an application like Skype or pre-installed Webcam application. When the cam is on the little blue light near the cam is activated.

  When the application is closed cam will be off.

  Please be so kind and explain your problem in more detail.

• Satellite C660: How to turn off the zoom of the touchpad on/off function

  My Satellite C660 zooms pages Web etc. in & on the touchpad mouse.
  I tried to get used to but its been a year & I had to buy a wireless mouse that I can get along with it.

  Can I turn off this feature so the Mouse touchpad don't zoom in & out everything more & just did normal move the pointer of the mouse & tap to click functions?

  Hello

  I think you are talking about the pinch to zoom.
  Yes, this can be disabled.
  Go to control panel-> mouse-> device settings (I think its last tab, it could be called Advanced too)
  Here click the Advanced Settings button
  Here, you should see all the available options. I guess that option should be available here.

• Battery is dead and the Satellite C660-15r not turn on or charge

  I have a PC laptop toshiba Satellite C660-15r I've had for a year.
  For these last days, I had to move the charger a little when I insert it into the laptop so he could load.

  Now the battery is dead and the laptop will not turn on or charge.
  It's not happened before and there is no other problems with the laptop.

  Have you tried to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help first?
  I mean the guarantee must be valid in order to see whether they can help somehow.

  Please clarify this and send feedback.

  BTW: workbook correctly on the current doesn't provide not only (removed battery)?

• Satellite C660-2EL off - would not turn back on this time

  I hope this is the right place to put this. I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-2EL and last night it shut down without warning, nothing. He would not go back at all, he just kind of this noise as if it were die a death slow and had the green light etc., but then off back again once, I noticed that my battery had come to lose (which sometimes happens) so I put back and tried again, nothing.

  I also tried with my charger and everything in place, again this time that there is an orange light flashing, no green light and a-type noise that squeaks really horrible. Come on now, this morning, I decided to try it all again and it works? * Anyone know what this could be? *

  I have insurance and I think just take it to them because of this and see what they think, as it's the second time it happened, although the first time, he never turned back, and Toshiba, it had some water damage and was so my fault and I had to send it to the normal setting so it can be fixed.

  Thank you all!

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to discuss these issues. Generally better you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider, ask for help and try to clarify this with the technicians.

  If you have a valid insurance try to ask for help and get free fixed.

  Sorry, but what else to say about it.

• Satellite C855-1UU close problem, notebook turn on itself

  Hi all,

  I hope someone can help, I need to know what to do. I bought this laptop C855-1UU Satellite two days ago, and I'm afraid she has certain shortcomings.

  Everything works fine, except that I have problem when I power the laptop off. I use Linux OS (tried with Sabayon and now on Manjaro, I wanted to just check is this OS or hardware problem).

  It is:
  When power off the computer laptop (with icon or via the console command), phone off... then turns stays off for about 5-10 seconds and then switch on by itself without any reason!
  I tried to determine what could be the possible reason, and I found that occurs only when the battery charger is connected. Tried it with the battery removed, with loading the BIOS default values, nothing changes... always turn on itself.
  When unplug charger laptop battery and try to power off the computer, it works.

  Any suggestion, idea or advise what to do?

  Thanks in advance!

• Satellite C660-195 - wireless turns off

  I have a Satellite C660-195, I've had an ongoing problem since the day I bought it and when I connect it to the network, it loses the connection to the internet. The wireless function will switch off completely.

  Can someone advise the best course of action?

  I put t know what WLan driver version you are using and I don t know what BIOS is preinstalled on your laptop, so I recommend you update the BIOS. Then download the latest driver for WiFi (Realtek RTL8188CE) for this device and update it.

  City of BIOS and WLan driver can be downloaded here:

• Satellite C660-17J - power on the issue

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite C660-17I and sometimes when I turn it on (now the power button for 2-3 seconds and then release) - do not turn on correctly eg - fan starts - power light lights up - but not the screen. If I pressed the power button, even after he died. So if I try again it lights up but the date and the time resets to 2008.

  Ideas or will I have to return to Amazon as defective? (could not do without it!).

  Hi ebarnyard,

  When you connect an external display, you can see something about that or is it always black as internal screen?

  > So if I try again it lights up but the date and the time resets to 2008.
  Do you mean the time of Windows or BIOS?

  In General, I would say this is no a behavior normal and in my opinion it s something wrong with the hardware itself. So I contact a service provider allowed in your country and ask guys to check your laptop what s wrong with it because repair is free of the time guaranteed ;)

• Satellite C660-223 - system caution: "" problem with cooling detected system "".

  When I carry my Satellite C660-223 somewhere for example wear at home to College in a protective case in my backpack, I sometimes get a window warning flashing upward every 20 seconds or so said system + "warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." Please turn the computer off immediately and return it for service. +

  This only happens when I transported somewhere and as a first step, that these warnings system flashed only sometimes upwards after I hauled somewhere, but in the last two years, he started to get pretty much whenever I took the laptop somehwere. When the system warnings blink until the computer doesn't feel a little warmer than normal. no danger of overheating, immediately.

  I didn't fix it because the problem seems to resolve itself the next time that I carried the computer somewhere. It's a very strange problem where the short-term solution was the same as the cause: as in I would take the laptop somewhere, the warning system flash upwards and I learned that take "for a walk" would fix somehow everything which was the 'problem '. I solved the problem in this way too often so he could be a coincidence.

  So for a while it wasn't really a problem because I just didn't take the laptop anywhere. But the warning system has recently start flashing to the top if I wear just the laptop on the floor, and the warning system does not disappear with my method incredibly non-tech-savvy to "go for a walk", which I am sure many here would give something to laugh :).

  The obvious answer is that I need to get the service pronto thing, but I'm in the middle of final exams and the situation of tech in my house means I can't leave the laptop away for service for who knows how long when I really need to study.

  Responses, I'm hoping to get are ideas as to what actually caused this problem and short-term solutions that are a little better informed that my approach "going for a walk".

  I think THAT what is, is that the movement to carry your laptop around in a backpack something within the done cooling system moving out of place causing the evil TI work. I say this because, while writing this thread I was turn the laptop over and over again to get a look at the stickers on the back and the practice that seems to have "solved" the problem of warning system because this window flashes up while he was only a few minutes ago.

  It seems so that all component moved his place before been moved back again by the movement to turn the laptop over and over. And I was not even take him for a walk!

  Any help? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  This notification may appear for different reasons.
  The alert might appear due to
  (1) cooling system malfunction
  (2) blocked cooling vents or fans
  (3) software question (VAP - added value package or BIOS)

  Malfunction of the cooling system, you should contact the service agents at the difficulty.

  In case of a blocked vent and fans it s enough to clean the parts using a jet of compressed air.
  This allows to get rid of dust inside the cooling module.

  If the vents are not blocked and you still see this message, check the application of the service station for updates on your computer. If any are found, download and install.
  You can try to uninstall or update the Toshiba value added Package. This package contains a few essential tools and utilities that control the cooling system too.
  Also check BIOS update.

  But if you continue to receive this error, your laptop may require repair

• Satellite C660 - screen problem

  When my wife got off the plane a luggage handler helped pushing his mother in wheelchair and dragging one of the bags behind him allowing my wife to take care of the rest of the luggage. Unfortunately, the laptop that sat on that bag decided that he didn't like the ride, he jumped the bag and tried to get into the terminal under its own power from the battery.

  There is no visible damage to the laptop as it was inside the bag and no crack or anything on the screen. When turn on the laptop, the screen may remain empty, flicker or it shows the log on and office but instead of white to white, it displays a purple rose, only showing not ecru is affected. Other colors appear correctly although they look as if the display is set to 256 colors or the use of the wrong driver.

  I plugged an external monitor to it and that works very well with the color. If the computer laptop screen flickers a light tap at the back of it he still will get, but the color is not corrected. I think it may be just a loose connection or wire cut between the screen and the motherboard but don't know if the color change would be caused by the present.

  Satellite C660 (PSC1LA-00J001) looks brand new, but I don't think it would be useful to take to get fixed.

  Any ideas on what could be the problem?

  It took me 2 1/2 hours to post this same exact message because somewhere in there is profanity or inappropriate language. :(

  Hello

  On this virtual path, it is not possible to say with certainty what the problem is here. Your laptop must be disassembled and all should be checked. Graphics card seems to be OK, so it must be a problem with connectors, cable or with the screen itself.
  > Satellite C660 (PSC1LA-00J001) looks brand new, but I don't think it would be useful to take to get fixed.
  Why not? Same display exchange is not so problematic. Googling around you will find many online stores where you can order the new display, if necessary. Even on eBay you can get it at reasonable price.

  If you do not have experience with this kind of things I recommend you contact the closest to the Toshiba service provider or some independent IT service and ask for help. Check what options are available and how much you have to pay for the repair.

• Satellite C660-108 disables unsuspected rotation fan while rose

  Hello

  I so laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-108 series.
  I don't really know what to do, laptop turns off by itself at any time, the fan starts to spin very strong and fair, he stops, when I try to turn it on again same thing occurs, time is random, sometimes it turns on for 10 seconds, sometimes for hours... Please help technicians in my town don't know what to do...

  Thank you
  Karolis.

  I m wondering really that technicians can not help you with this. I mean if they can that help can we do on this virtual path where we can only speculate what may be the problem.
  Did you contact Toshiba service provider or an independent PC company?

  Problem is that we do not know if your laptop turns off due to high temperatures and overheating of the CPU or there is another reason. At least what you can do about it? Nothing. All you can do is buy compressed air and try to clean it. What else can you do?

  What confuses me, is the fact that your laptop turns off after 10 seconds. This must be studied.
