• Problems of Freeze/bios satellite A660

  I have a satellite A660 a year already and I experienced a few freezes where the PC and I am unable to do anything, the sound still works for a few seconds and them it change to a scratching noise. The question as always been here, but given that it only happened once a month or less i thought it was a windows freeze or an overheating problem but for some time happened much several times, in four days happened to 8 times. Then I tried to update the drivers and nothing change until the BIOS drivers that I can't not to update because I get the following error (Firmware has no support of flash (AFUWINGUI)).
  I don't know if the update to the BIOS so that solve the problem or if a must send the PC to the guarantee.

  Sorry for my English I'm not a native speaker, and I am grateful for those who can read thought my question and always responds.

  Have you added extra RAM for laptop? Maybe the RAM is not compatible or has a problem. You can test the RAM with Memtest (bootable CD)

  Windows can get damaged over time due to bad judgments etc... It may be a good idea to save your documents and run Toshiba Recovery to restore Windows back to its factory condition.

  If the RAM passes the test and the gel is always held on a Windows factory installation completely fresh, then it is probably a hardware problem.

• What HARD drive I can use on my Satellite A660-13D?

  Hello

  I'm looking for any compatible for a Toshiba SATELLITE A660-13D hard disk drive as the one inside is dead now.

  This model comes with the laptop is a TOSHIBA MK6465GSX 640 GB, SATA 3 Gb/second 5400 RPM 2.6 revision

  Official suppliers of Toshiba quoted me 130 euros por the same model.

  I can't have such model through any other store or the internet.

  There are a lot of different new TOSHIBA HDD in the market with the largest capacity and much less expensive than the MK6465GSK.

  Can I install any new toshiba HDD on my SATELLITE A660-13D?

  Is there any toshiba page where I can find out what toshiba HARD drive are compatible with my SATELLITE?

  Thanks in advance for your answer.

  What you need is 2.5 SATA HDD and it may be Toshiba but it may also be of some other manufacturers. You don't need anything special. If possible consult your dealer and they can help you choose one that suits.

  Now, when you need a new HARD drive maybe you should think about upgrading with SSD. Disc SSD is much faster and use of SSD with your laptop will rapidly increase the performance of s for laptop.

• Satellite A660-07 s keeps freezing when streaming videos

  I bought a new laptop from Toshiba Satellite A660-07 s recently, since he started to freeze when I use video applications, such as Skype or Youtube, etc... Frost occurs randomly, and the only way out is long by pressing the switch (hunting). I returned the laptop several times for Toshiba certified technician and we almost completely reinstall software and operating system, replace the motherboard, graphics card, memory etc. and the problem is always the case. The laptop is great and does the job very well except for this random gel that is very annoying and there is no way to explain why it is happening.

  I think maybe there is a flaw in the design of the system and components do not work together very well. I also read on a few other issues with laptops satellite which freezes. I use another laptop, and I am a computer scientist. Never had this problem before and can not explain why this laptop freezes in particular. Can anyone shed light on what could be the problem to the technician and users may be able to solve this problem.
  As I said, we have tried all what you would do to eliminate the problem and nothing has worked so far.

  Thanks in advance for your responses and suggestions.

  Hey,.

  I m wondering really that your computer laptop doesn t work properly with video applications. Friend of me has the same laptop and it often use video applications like Skype, Youtube, etc. Also, he'd watch DVD and blu - ray but no problems at all.
  It uses the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba and everything is ok.

  In your case I would ask again authorized service provider what they can do for you. I mean if many parts have been replaced already there must be a solution to your problem and if it of a hardware related problem, you can do anything and you need professional help.

  Perhaps the ASP can get in touch with Toshiba directly or else just talk a bit with them, I m sure that the problem could be solved.

  Sorry that I can't say more, but the A660 from my friend is the perfect job.

• Satellite A660-18 freezes randomly

  My Satellite A660-18 freezes randomly especially when I play games or watch video.
  Also sometimes when I'm just passing the mouse. He is 1-2 times a week/2 weeks. When it happens the screen freezes but the audio on for a while and does not react to any keypress so I have to manually turn it works.

  I don't think it's a graphics card overheating issue, as happens sometimes in just a few minutes after I turn on my laptop and I use a cooler pad as well.

  Hello

  This sometimes happens, it means that you can't reproduce it, which means that it s really hard to tell what could cause this.
  Theoretically, it could be just a software problem. Perhaps only the registry is damaged.
  In this case, the new OS installation must be carried out.

  Of course it could be also related to memory: to test the RAM by using some tools such as mem86 + or similar.
  Also, make sure the HARD drive; for this, you can use the tool called Drive Fitness Test.

• Satellite A660 - 10 X - freezes several times

  Hello

  A few months ago I bought the Satellite A660-10 x. On installed original system it freezes once (I used laptop maybe an hour) but I thought it was an accident, or maybe something was misconfigured. Then I installed the clear disk from Microsoft (Windows 7 Home Premium) system and install only the necessary drivers, but the problem from happening again. At first I thought as this only, when I don't click or move the mouse for over 1 minute, but that for now the problem appears also when I click or write something. I very rarely use this laptop, but as you can imagine it is very annoying and it is that I can not trust this laptop computer and the data on it. Maybe you know what are the causes of the problem or maybe some new drivers have been released to remove this problem?

  I read that not only I have the same problem.

  Best regards

  Hello

  You are using the latest driver for the Toshiba page graphics card?
  Please do
  In addition new BIOS version just came out too much it is s BIOS update!

  In addition, you can run some RAM tests using the free tools like memtest86 + or similar.

• Satellite A660-07U - cannot install the new display driver

  When I got to my laptop, it wouldn't even start the box! So I googled how to get operational and it wouldn't install Windows 7 32 bit, so I installed Windows 7 64 bit and that worked.

  I am one of the users who is also having their laptop freeze on them at all times. I did the update to the Bios and it always does. So I decided to try to update the graphics drivers with new ones on this site, but it seems that they won't install. I got 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 first, I have Windows 7 64 bit installed in my laptop. But it cannot find the necessary material, I thought, he says its because my laptop is not a 3D version, should even elsewhere?

  So then I tried the 32 bit drivers and it says im using the wrong system operating system for these drivers.

  How about if some drivers I can use?

  Hello

  A moment I really t understand: why you have your own version of Windows 7?
  Usually by Satellite A660 is always equipped with operating system (Windows 7) and it s already preinstalled. This means that you can start your computer laptop out of the box and Windows 7 will begin. Therefore, you don't need an additional installation.
  And let me guess: you don t have created a right Toshiba Recovery disk?

  In any case, before update you the display driver you must remove the older version first. Then, restart your computer and install the latest version.

• Need new keyboard for Satellite A660

  Hello

  I need to get a new keyboard to replace the one in my laptop Toshiba Satellite because some keys stopped working.

  My computer is a Toshiba Satellite A660-PSAW3A-07P00R.

  I have been looking online at different and a single list as "fitting Toshiha Satellite A660 laptop computers".

  Does anyone know if different laptops of the A660 other shape series computers laptops, or I need to find the specific part that is compatible with the number of my computer?

  In addition, the keyboard of my laptop doesn't have the function of backlit, but in some lists I could find that didn't function backlit.

  Anyone know if the backlit keyboard is a size different from that which is not backlit and therefore it does not my laptop?

  I would be very grateful of any help.

  Thank you.

  When the keyboard is removed on the back side is a sticker with part number that you can use to search for and order new keyboard. In my opinion this is the best and easiest way to find a good keyboard.

  Keyboard with backlight has additional cable for power and you cannot use it with our machine, so, in my opinion, there is no sense to buy it. Remove the keyboard and we part of the keypad number.

  I don't know if you have experience with disassembly, but be careful if you want to do it yourself. Small mistake and something may be broken. If all this is too risky for you I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can order the original keyboard and switch to... I think only 20 minutes.

• Re: TV tuner on the new Satellite A660

  Hello

  I wandered just what the A660 model got a hybrid tv tuner? Because on the press release, he said he has a hybrid tv tuner. Thank you

  Each new Toshiba laptop model is offered with several different hardware configurations.
  Important thing is that all these models vary depending on the country, and in the not, we can see that all models will not be available in all countries, so I don't think that anyone here can give you a definitive answer.

  When the laptop will be available in your country, visit Toshiba support page and check which models will be available in your country.
  On PC magazine, I read, I found very interesting information related to this model of laptop. It will be the first laptop with 3D technology (graphics card, 60 Hz LCD and 3D glasses).
  Of course not all of them, but some models of Satellite A660.

  Good bye

• Satellite A660-12E - freezes with graphical objects

  Hello

  Here's my problem:

  I bought a Satellite A660-12th. Was obtained last Saturday, transported with great caution.

  The problem is that when I use a program dependent CG as a game, the games freezes quickly, even in the menus, with the screen objects, symptom of failure of CG (that happened in the menus of TF2, alien swarm and all playing Plain SIght). When Windows (with aero and transparency), goes on the internet, watching movies, everything is ok. No problem when using 3DSmax and Mudbox, but does not check since the last time the problem happened.
  In addition, the problem does not occur the first time that I start a game. After a long series of the computer (I use a cooling station and check the temperature: never more than 55 ° c) to download a game on steam, for example.

  I tried to install my own version of windows 7 (64 bit professional), updated the cg driver, installed a selection of programs from ninite.com, but the problem is back.

  Since then, I am a student with low resources and worked all summer to get a laptop, I am a little upset. :/
  Anyone has a solution, or should I contact the customer as soon as possible?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Can you explain what CG and CG pilot mean, please?

  I can only tell you that it is important to use the original display driver Toshiba place drivers nVidia because they are pre-tested and overheating protection. So be sure that Toshiba display the most recent driver is installed.

• How to install Windows without recovery disc - Satellite A660 with new HARD drive

  Hey,.

  Portable 500 GB HDD of my friend Toshiba Satellite A660 seems to have died.
  I tied him to my laptop on a sata dock and runs a data recovery program because nothing has been saved. The recovery takes forever, however, and she really needs his computer to work.

  Because the hard disk may be damaged in any case, I am considering buying a new hard drive and install in the Toshiba.

  How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?
  The old drive was a partition recovery on it, I think, but this seems useless with a new drive.
  Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit home edition.

  The product key is on the bottom of the laptop.
  I live in Turkey and so I don't think there is a Toshiba store is close.
  There are individual computer stores, so I'm confident, I can buy a new internal hard drive (I could find the sata dock here), but he must know what to do to install the software, etc.

  Thank you!
  Chris

  > How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?

  You either have the recovery disk or you are going to install the system using the Microsoft Windows disk.
  The necessary drivers are in internet on Toshiba UE page.

  The recovery disc can also be ordered here:

• Satellite A660 freeze on HD video, streaming and video games on Win7 64 bit

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  I don't think it's a general or common problem. I have the Satellite P500 with the NVIDIA card inside. Pre-installed driver is Toshiba 8.16.11.8829 driver version, and I have never notice one problem with display or graphics in general.

  I watch blu - ray movies, very often HD trailers on YouTube, play games (for the time Medal of honor, Black Ops) and everything works perfectly.

  What NVIDIA card is in your laptop and what display driver is installed?
