• 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.

• Satellite C660 - 115 WLan connection only works when the power cable is connected

  Hello

  A few weeks ago, I bought a Satellite C660-115. I want to surf the internet anywhere in my house without any son/cables.
  On the first day, I had this problem: when I disconnect _power_ cable, the wireless connection will stop working.

  The Web page on my screen will always be there, but a new page loading is a problem.
  It is sometimes useful to recharge (by pressing F5), - sometimes not. It is always useful to "ip address of repair", but not for long.

  The only solution is to atach regardless of how much power the battery has still the power cord.
  When I do, it is no problem whith the connection at all.
  I went back to the store where I bought it, they related to their own wireless network and they have had the same problem after a few minutes. In the shop too attach the power cable solved the problem.

  So the problem must be in my lap top, not in my network (modem or almost).

  Doesn't this all seem familiar, and if so, how can I solve this?

  I hope that my English is understandable, I live in Holland.
  Thanks in advance!

• Satellite C660 - 115 Win7 update stuck in the loop. SOLVED!

  I have a Satellite C660-115 which is stuck in a loop "of despair".
  I am a COMPUTER engineer support and a customer brought this laptop of mine, who was stuck in a loop of repair Win7 (64-bit prem) that simply says Win7 could not be repaired.

  I backed up the profiles of subscribers using Hiren boot CD (done chkdsk as well - everything is OK), and then did a factory restore.
  No problem at all with the restoration.

  Started doing the updates for Win7; SP1 seems to install OK without errors.
  The system then picked up 37 Win7 updates automatically and asked to reset.
  Upon reboot, Win7 entered "drvload.exe" and started an auto repair.
  It took time and the system started OK, but without any sign of SP1, looks so much like system restore to an earlier point?

  I though this update to process 3 times now and each time after that a lot of auto update, the same sequence occurs.

  How to exit this loop? What is causing this problem, which I have never seen before?

  No software has been installed, other than that of the recovery process.
  I even uninstalled McAfee, just in case this could be a problem - no change.

  Ah, just took another look. It is stated in Win7 system registers that the restoration was caused by a corrupted file C:\ci.dll. Google to find it was a sign by a rootkit virus in the HARD Master Boot Record disk (the file ci.dll itself is NOT damaged). Found a fix tool

  http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

  It identified the rootkit and removed.
  Seems to be OK now!

  Hope this post could help others.
  Of course, the factory restore does not erase the HDD MBR rootkit...

  Thanks for sharing!

• 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

• Problem restoring system on Satellite C660-115

  Hi all

  Satellite C660-115 my niece has a problem and I want to make it usable for its Christmas.

  Turning on the power of the computer, which gives as a result the message: * can not find the operating system ', so I tried the system restore by pressing first the 0 key and after numerous tests, changing the order of the boot and the other (with F2 or F12)... ". But there was nothing.

  From there on, I realized that I couldn't go any further without original recovery DVD from Toshiba. So I ordered last Saturday and got today Thursday. After as indicated by Toshiba (boot sequence starts on the CD player), the system begins to load (Windows is loading files...) offer the available languages on a beautiful table, and then choose window .dropoff...

  So, until then, everything seemed to be going as it should, is that by clicking on the 'next' button to validate my choice of language, only an error message appears in a dialog box named RecoGUI:
  ERROR:. _INFO IOCTL_GET_DISK_LENGTH------------PHYSICALDRIVE0 the device is not ready.
  When I press OK, then it's in French:
  Hard drive # 0 is not available or bad RAID configuration!

  I still press OK (I have too much choice) and then submit the next window restoration which requires me to validate the language of the operating system to install... French (Windows Win 7)
  and the States: the current size of the restoration is: Expert Mode

  Yet once I click OK and a warning box tells me that: all hard drives will be completely erased. Do you want to continue?

  OK... and cmd prompt appears who says (in brief)
  Looking for the car not mounted V: V drive...
  Ckecking to the C: drive... C: disassembled!
  ending with: ERROR files copy of database recovery failed.
  Press a key to continue (if I do, I find the Toshiba screen and invites another cmd telling;

  Waiting for WEIRD to become available...
  STRANGE D: drive ready.
  Check for support in drive D; ...
  Continue...
  DrvLoad: Successfully loaded X:------Windows \ inf-battery.inf.
  No RAID - continues normally...
  Installation in progress...
  Press any key to continue... and if I do, then placed below:

  X: \ Windows-system32 >

  That's where I stayed, because I always come back to the same thing.
  If anyone could be kind enough to help me solve this problem?
  Many thanks in advance...

• Re: Satellite C660-115 very strange problems Wifi!

  I've been busy with a problem on a C660-115 wireless, always without success.

  The case:
  -Laptop is connected to the power supply: Wifi works fine, no problem
  -Laptop power supply disconnected: Wifi does not work, although there sometimes seems to be a link with the router access point/wifi.
  No internet/network communication
  -Laptop computer connected to power--> wifi works, unplug the power--> after a 1/2 minute or two, no internet connection...

  I tried to find a new driver, but we already use it the latest version.
  Then I turned off the feature "this computer can switch of this device to save power", without success.

• While the Satellite C660 just games close

  Hello

  Recently bought a Toshiba Satellite C660:

  i3, 3gig of Ram, Windows 7 64 bit.

  So, I use this for my small business and it works perfectly, I love it.

  However, last night, I played Football Manager 2011 and during the simulation, part graphic game relatively high, the laptop just closed, completely off, twice. In both cases, the fan was working overtime.

  Should I return it to the place where I bought it?

  > Should I return it to the place where I bought it?
  Why that?
  You can use your laptop for usual work?

  As much as I know C series is not very good for gaming and I can imagine this laptop was simply overloaded and the result is off without warning.

• Re: Overheating and lag issues on the Satellite C660/C660D

  Hello community of Toshiba

  I am a new user of Toshiba, I have a new Toshiba laptop as a model of its Satellite C660 / C660D, I use my new laptop for 6 months and I have some kind of a lot of time on my laptop. Sometimes I keep it open for more than 10 hours.

  My problem is like 3-4 months at the bottom right of the screen there is a caution came out as "there's something wrong with your hard drive, you should give it to any service of Toshiba for warranty".
  But it happened because I played on users, I mean users option for windows, not something material, changing just the current user name caused this and he now has weird name when I reversed the name change; He turned to something like TOSH ~ 1, etc.

  After several times, I mean like 1 month ago, my computer got very slow. Video games with their high resolution, but now the phone LAGS even I put it in low resolution, I played... I did not change any material or touched. But it is frustrating to see that I can't do the things I used to do more.

  Another thing is, I'm afraid of the heat from the laptop. Is it normal to have 49-50 degrees? Because when I play games, it is around this level. I live in a hot city.

  Some people asked me to use HD Tune to check that if I have a bad sector on the hard drive, I did. Does not work either.
  I deleted some of my files to get the free space on my HARD drive also, likely 150 concerts altogether. I even wiped the empty space in my HDD via CCleaner. I often do the basis of registry-fix with it as well. Movies and games flash hangs out as well. And sometimes when I watch videos, the sound cuts, so I have to pause, and then click play it again to fix it but it happens in various video players, not youtube. Very probably all watching anime.

  And what do I do? I don't want to go for the service, I'm sure they'll make me wait several weeks of 100%. I use usually my laptop with its adapter. Oh and, over the life of my laptop, 2 - 3 times he got stopped himself while it wasn't on the map whenever I check, he was really but really hot.

  So, what should I do? I don't want to open the computer to look inside, I do not understand, and he would risk my 2 year warranty.

  I am looking forward for your answers, I'll be very happy. Thank you.

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. In General, you should think about upgrading the RAM to the maximum level. With more RAM laptop should have more power and different operations should be made much more quickly.

  To make my laptop better and faster I ve upgraded RAM to the maximum level and also changed SSD HARD drive. So big difference there and phone now works like a rocket. Think about upgrading RAM.
  > Another thing is, I'm afraid of the heat from the laptop. Is it normal to have 49-50 degrees?
  From my point of view, this temperature is normal and certainly not too high. When you use your laptop, place it on the office and ensure that the cooling fan and cooling rack are free and not blocked.

  Don t open your laptop. Anyway, you can't do anything except to void your warranty. RAM upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and it will not void your warranty.

• 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.

• Replacing the screen on the Satellite C660-2EH

  Hi, I'm looking for a replacement screen for my Satellite C660-2EH and I can't find a specific model. I could buy the generic screen come to label C660? In some I found, for example:

  http://www.laptop-power.co.UK/laptop-screens/Toshiba-compatible/satellite/series-C660/model-C660.html

  http://www.laptopscreenonline.com/Toshiba-Satellite-C660-replacement-screen-laptop-LCD-15982-p.asp

  Would appreciate any help that someone could give me on this matter, thank you!
  Zoe.

  In my view the two links are OK, and you can't do anything wrong. AFAIK all C660 models use the same LCD display with following specifications:

  Display Type - color display TFT LCD
  Size (diagonal) - 15.6 "(HD)
  Resolution - 1366 x 768
  -16:9 aspect ratio
  Type of LED lighting - light side.

  Only the difference can be a salesman or the brightness to level 8.

  When you order this use being it's HD LED screen.

  By the way: you want to exchange it only? I mean it's not so easy and if you don t have any experience with this kind of things that you should ask for help.

  Be careful about this.

• Additional fee for the Satellite C660-116 memory

  Hello

  I would like to add to my Satellite C660-116, which has a memory 800 Mhz 1 GB installed DDR3 2 GB of additional memory. (Samsung M471B2873FHS-CH9, 204 pins SODIMM)

  After consulting with several Internet sites it can a confusion now:

  Samsung 1 GB DDR3 10666 1333 MHz laptop memory
  Samsung 1 GB DDR3 10600 1333 MHz laptop memory

  While the official website of Toshiba says 800 Mhz.

  It was easire to find a DDR2 800 Mhz for a DDR3 at 800 Mhz, however, to get a DDR3 at 1333 MHz 2 GB is very simple and reasonable in cost.

  Someone could say 2 GB memory which would be the best to buy (a 204-pin SoDIMM DDR2 800 Mhz) or a DDR3 1333 Mhz or something else?
  Thank you

  Toshiba recommends the use of the module of RAM 2 GB compatible with PA3676U-1M2G part number.
  This memory has been tested and works perfectly.

  If you want to have high quality I recommend you use Kingston RAM compatible RAM for your Satellite is KTT1066D3 / 2G.

  Check the two modules and compare the price. Always is it that both of them are high quality products, and you will have no problems using one of them.

  By the way: your laptop can be upgraded up to 4 GB so I think you must be upgraded to the maximum level.
