• Continual loss of wireless connection with Satellite C660

  Hello

  I hope that someone out there might be able to help.

  I've had my Satellite C660 for about 18 months now. Since the first day we had continual problems connecting to the wireless network. It connects but then lost the connection again a few minutes later, and then after a few more minutes, he reconnects. And the circle continues. An Ethernet cable didn't improve things.

  Initially, the problem is solved by leaving the laptop computer charger plugged, randomly that solved the problem and that is not ideal, I went with it because it worked.

  We have new broadband services and the router installed and the problem came back now, but this time the fix of power cable does not work, and once again an Ethernet cable does not work.

  The laptop is now continues to lose the connection, and it's very frustrating. I have 2 other laptops from Dell, 2 tablets, and they all work very well, never losing connection.

  Can someone give me it please advice on what could cause this problem and how to fix it (easily!).

  I can't wait to hear your thoughts and thank you in advance for your help.

  > Initially solved the problem by letting the laptop computer charger plugged, randomly that solved the problem and that is not ideal, I went with it because it worked.

  I think WiFi disconnects due to energy savings.
  As you say, linking the main specifications address the issue. I think because of the connection of the AC adapter, the laptop switches to another profile of power where Wlan energy saving is disabled.

  Therefore, I recommend to change the power profile that is used in battery mode.
  -> Panel-> power option choose the power profile that you use in battery mode
  Now, select advanced to change power settings
  You will find an option called settings of the adapter wireless (or something like that)
  The mode option of battery and AC adapter must use the performance parameters

• The problem of Satellite C660-1F1

  My satellite C660-1F1 has load problems.

  It started with the yellow light flashing one a message "plugged in don't not load" it is now completely out of charge and fires almost every time that I try to start.

  If I remove the battery and use just electric 2 green lights come on but it cuts during the boot process too.

  Anyone got any ideas?

  Hello

  Hmm... looks a bit like a motherboard problem.
  I think that the adapter is OK because the power led is lit if you plug the laptop on the sector...
  I'm not thinkt that the issue could be related to battery failure because if the battery would be affected, then the laptop must always run connected to the power adapter (in mains mode).

  So, it seems that the problem may be caused by dysfunction of the motherboard...

  A question: is your BIOS up-to-date?

• Constant faults with satellite C660

  At the present time, I am more than just a little ticked off so I will try my best not to go off on a mug shot.

  Then I decided I would buy a laptop from Argos, I chose the Satellite C660 which cost me £300, and the first was faulty within weeks, it wouldn't read the Wifi card and I could not even anywhere near update even if that was the problem. So I had a second, worked well for 2-3 months, and then at the end of July it suddenly wrong.

  The error was with the hard disk, the hard disk had some how becomes corrupt, but firstly I decided I would buy recovery disks that cost £30 and took almost a week to arrive.

  Ultimately the recovery disks did not solve my problem so I rang the customer Service and they told me I could either send for repair, get a new hard drive sent me or send it to argos and get a replacement.

  Not even a month on the line and the SAME problems arose. Now I'm not sure that my anti virus was silly and allowed a virus to sneak into systems and corrupt once again, the concert stick which has been a cause of the second break was NOT used after to be sure.

  The anti-virus was Virgin Media Security Center, and even if some errors which is is past that have not been to painful difficulty it has worked well.

  But today, I uninstalled a program called Ventrilo so that I could reinstall it due to the fact that suddenly, she works correctly (suspect last night could be the beginning of my laptop once again to go to hell) last night, I used a Web site to see how I could completely remove ventrillo, and I followed the steps.

  As soon as I deleted the file ventrilo BAM the laptop went crazy! I rebooted, it don't think it would take just a reboot... once it is loaded, no background would show, a lot of error messages and I aircraft to the system restore 3 times. So I decided I want to reformat my laptop.

  That's where it went worse again, as soon as I entered the recovery disks the wrong hard drive shot, he began to reformat error only 5 seconds later saying no recovery of files found.

  Seriously toshiba, how much more portable that I am will have to be repaired or replaced before finally getting one that works 100%, why should not only claim a first thing in the morning, because ive got the reception has not been able to buy 3 years extra warranty (fortunately I still have 1 year of warranty) so I could do it now. im sick and tired of having a new piece of computer toshiba laptop for a short time then suddenly go faulty, especially when before you download anything, I make sure that I have downloaded to ensure responsible for anti-virus as his protégé.

  My moms laptop is HP and is 4 years old and STILL works very well, Yes, of course it heat up too much otherwise is based on a good surface, but still, how does a cell phone 4 years compared to a who apparently 3 months old laptop can work BETTER, is not what he supposed to be the other way around?

  EDIT: I just went through the forums, it seems that this brand has SO much go wrong with it in the first 3 pages only.

  Hello Steelworkers

  Sorry to hear (read) all that but what about?
  It's really funny in our life. With some things, we are more than satisfied and happy, but sometimes we just out of luck.

  Toshiba sells millions of laptops and probably thousands of Satellite C660 and there is always the risk that some of them are troublemakers. It is with other electronic products, cars, different machines and so on.

  I know you won t hear it but your only chance is to stay in contact with Toshiba service provider and if all goes well they will help you with all these issues.

  I must also say that over the last decade I have use Toshiba notebooks only. I had a few small problems too but it was always repaired quite quickly and I was able to continue my work.
  When you analyze markets for laptop, you will notice that the products are quite similar. You can't tell A manufacturer has much better quality than the manufacturer B. The level of prices is the same and the quality as well. What makes the difference is the hardware configuration and design, but all the rest is quite similar.

  One last thing: I agree with you on the old notebooks. I'm also sure that older models were much better, but what I can say for Toshiba tool Mr. I really missed some old models like Satellite 5200 or Satellite P20 of Mr. I had two of them, and I can say that they were ahead of the development and design.

  Bye and good luck.

• Strange sound problem with Satellite L740 TV outputs

  I'm having a strange problem here... I googled this several times already, and I only found the same solution mentioned several times and the given solution * not * work is to me.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L740 running Windows 7 Home Edition Premium, with a 64-bit Intel Core i5 - 2410M @ 2.30 GHz CPU and 4 GB of physical RAM. My problem is the following...

  There are two different TVs in my house that I regularly connect my laptop via HDMI cable.
  The first is mine, and I can get sound through the TV very well when I plug it in.

  Sometimes, however, I will disconnect the computer from my TV and not get any sound through the laptop because he's trying to output to external speakers to TV.

  More importantly, when I connect my laptop to my * roommate * TV (the same make as mine, you mind), I can not all the sounds of his TV at all.

  This is a recent problem. Until this morning, I was able to get noise from two TV very well and only sometimes had problems with sound through the laptop itself, which has been easily resolved by restarting.

  It's just a hunch, but it's almost like * doesn't realize that there are two different TVs * that it is connected to my computer. Maybe it's stupid, I don't know, but be it, it's frustrating...

  * ALSO: * I've seen dozens of suggestions that I put my HDMI audio as default device. Yes, I did. It wasn't the issue. Is the same to activate my audio drivers in Device Manager. They are all turned on, so it's not that either. Any ideas?

  It's a bit strange if you connect the laptop to two identical televisions and use the same HDMI cable to the TV.

  Unfortunately, it all works automatically and I put t know if you can force your laptop to recognize two TVs on the same path.

  In the worst case you have to do it manually in the sound properties > playback devices.
  If it works with four mouse clicks you can change.

  I tested my laptop with two different TVs.
  At home, I have a Toshiba TV and at the office we use Sony. On both automatically get sound on the TV speakers.

  If you will be able to find the solution please let us know.

• A30 - problem with intel pro Wireless 2200bg - wireless always turn off

  Hello.

  I have a problem with the wireless card Intel pci mini. I installed in the connector mini pci and connected the 2 wires. I also installed drivers and software to Intel. But the connection is always available. I changed the wireless switch located on the left side of my toshiba, but said software, the hardware radio switch is off.
  I reinstalled operaiting system XP Home, XP Pro, but all the time I have information that this switch is off.

  Thanks for any information

  Hello

  Please first check that when you the physical switch turn on wireless communication, you should also somewhere (probably near the switch) see an orange light.
  If this isn't the case, then there is something wrong.
  Did also attach you the antenna cables to the Wifi card?
  You use the Windows XP client or customer of Intel for wifi?

• Temporary solution to load problem with Satellite C650

  I here provide a temporary solution to loading with Satellite C650 problem, which I have faced.

  First of all, I've updated my BIOS. After that, I removed the battery and plugged AC for 2-3 minutes.

  Then replace the battery and it loaded.

  However, the battery got charged up to 99% only and after that the interrupted load and the load remained at 99% and renewed battery indicating "plugged in, not charging."

  Therefore, each time I hv to repeat the procedure above to charge my battery.

  If any1 has the solution to the prob. above, it would be gr8 to hear.

  Thank you very much!

  Thanks for your posting.
  To be honest I really don t know what else you can expect and test it with new battery.

  I think that your laptop model must always have a warranty valid, right?
  If so, contact Toshiba nearest service provider and ask for replacement.

• Problems with Satellite A300 - 1GC XP install - CD does not?

  Hello

  I have a few looks to round in various forums and found no answer to everything.

  I have the Satellite A300-1GC and had (from last night) vista on it. As caused Vista
  a lot of problems with different programs, I decided to get rid of him.

  The problem is now--if I stick my XP installation CD it it bed "press any key to boot from CD".
  Do that and then nothing happens. The CD read head stops going back and forward
  but nothing happens at all. Not even the beginning of the blue installation screen.

  Any ideas where this comes from?

  The CD-rom can also be run in AHCI mode (can a CD player what do I do?) and requires drivers?
  I have tried various CD XP - neither work. The last one I had was with SP3 and build in February 2009 so quite recent.

  Clues?

  See you soon

  Hello

  In your case the question has nothing to do with the SATA mode (AHCI mode or Compatible) but it looks like the CD/DVD drive cannot handle the Win XP disc
  Why? Who knows

  Always is it that the CD cannot be read and so the installation can not get.

  Try to copy this disc by using another computer and then you can try using the disc copied on order to install Win XP.

  Just FYI: I use TDK (CD and DVD) r discs... I am very satisfied

• Several problems with Satellite A100

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction with regard to the fixing of my computer!

  I have supply problems with my Satellite A100 laptop that I bought in europe 2 years ago. When the battery is run-down completely the computer will not run / start at all when it is plugged into the wall. It shows a light indicating that the battery is in charge even the domain controller in the light does not appear. The laptop must load for at least 1-2 hours before I can activate it. Push the power button to the computer also turn on / off the light sometimes. I can't use the computer at all until the same fully charged battery if light shows it is plugged into the wall. The outlet is fine.

  I also have other issues. First of all the computer not as to the rename files - often said that they are used, but they are not. Secondly, I have problems with toshiba recordnow cd / dvd burning program. I can open the program, but when I close it will not open until I have sign out and then sign back in. Thirdly, my computer love is no longer my sony digital camera memory cards if put directlt in laptop - it is said that they can be dangerous and will not access.

  Thanks for reading!

  PS my laptop does not at all depend on when the battery is removed and the laptop plugged into the wall.

  PPS. my laptop model is Satellite A100 - 163, PSAA9E model number

  Hello

  regarding your power problem:

  It seems that your motherboard is faulty. I had the same issue with an A100 and after replacing the motherboard, the problem has been resolved. They told me it was a kind of resistance or something as preventing the machine from power.

  The question of the name change is only registry related since the registry controls the access to the system. So you log on with an administrator account or with a regular account that was created for do not connect as an administrator of the computer?

  If not please google for "cannot rename files" that gives results much more then ask someone here. The registry could also be a cause for the issuance of recordnow!

  I Don t think that the card of your digital camera and your pc Don t like. Installed antivirus software? This might also be the reason.

  In your case, I suggest to bring your machine to an ASP (authorized service provider) and allow them to perform some checkup and proofreading materials.
  Back up your important data, and then perform a full restore of your machine (can be done with the recovery media supplied).

  See you soon
