  Hi mikeswan,

  I have the Satellite A660 since October 2010 up to more than 4 months now and has never seen a such error message on my Satellite A660. Everything works fine, cooling system works normally and if not, no problem.

  Nothing comes from nothing, so I think that there really is a problem with your cooling system or high temperature.

  Your laptop should still be under warranty, because this new model of s. very good because I would contact the closest to what s service provider authorized as soon as possible before you get property damage due to a higher internal temperature. I think that professional people, make sure that there is no problem or get the correction of an error, please check your laptop. Maybe the fan needs to be replaced or else I put t really know.

• Satellite A660 (PSAW3E) - FN keys not working not

  Hello
  I reinstalled my windows 7 64 bit on my laptop Satellite A660 and downloaded most, if not all the drivers on the official site of Toshiba UK.

  Although I do not use the FN keys, keep it bugs me knowing that they do not work.

  So... when I press the fn and none of my keys f1 - f9, they do not do anything, no card flash or anything like that.

  But the touch buttons to the upper work (the eco (I think), wireless, media, pause/start, light, decrease volume and increase volume) when I press them they sound and everything, but no flash cards is (not sure but I think that there is no flash cards for those) However when I press the power button on top of the mouse everything works including the flash ECAD

  The normal keys F1 - F12 function

  Tried to uninstall the pack of value-added and install again (after rebooting my laptop)
  Tried to restart flash cards too
  None of the above worked.

  Sorry for my English, not my language to the House :)

  Thanks for reading,
  If you need more information do not hesitate to ask.

• Satellite A660 - Windows 7 startup problem

  Hi, I have I think the biggest problem I have ever had. I have the Toshiba Satellite A660. I have Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit (just to know.) Computer laptop freezed so I pressed to shutdown (stop) to close.

  Then I tried to start it but I saw only "starting Windows" for more than an hour... When I tried to use the repair disk I saw the Green loading bar only (such as loading windows XP) but nothing happened again. So I tried to use the installation disc, but I get a "windows start" and nothing happened, even with a USB tip.

  Could someone help me?
  Thanks for all the posts.

  I understand that your computer was working and running W7 64 bit.
  You can or you looked in the BIOS? I don't know what you can view/change but is the HDD displayed and if memory is reported?
  If you use the drive of W7 or reinstall to start the computer drive can you get to the screen install Windows and select "repair your computer". If you do not see this screen, you will need to make sure that the DVD or USB is the first boot device.

  Return to this stage for more ideas or google for something like "windows command prompt repair 7.

• Satellite L500-1XU - FN keys problems

  Hello!

  Since I bought my laptop (Satellite L500-1XU), I have a problem with my keyboard I can't understand.
  It happens that without + Toshiba added economic package for Win7-32 bit + ([this version | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/download.jsp?ct=DL&soid=2485090&ref=EV]) some work of combinations of FN (such as the ESC, F1, F3, F5, F6, F7) but the rest of them do not work.

  So, I install PVAT and now none of them work. If I click on any flash card it makes his work, but the key to refuse commands to work.

  Hello

  Your laptop belongs to the series of Satellite L500 PSLJFE.
  Go to the page of European Toshiba driver and download the VAP and card utility for Satellite L500 PSLJFE flashing support.

  This should help!

  Otherwise you have some registry problems and in this case, you must clean the registry with CCleaner for example
  This free tool cleans the BONES once you should install VAP and Flash cards again.

• Satellite L750D - brightness FN key problem

  Hello

  Had a bit of a problem, trying to figure out why my screen was black, worked through HDMI and a second monitor ran without drama, but as soon as the diagnosis established, is to adjust the brightness of FN keys.

  When I put my brightness key FN adjust less than 6 years (5 or less) it will clear, black (black not total as long as the information is still there but almost impossible to see).

  I launch colormunki on that on the screen which is currently updated the color profile.

  Does anyone know if color monitors of profiling leads to problems of drama with the brightness of the screen FN?

  Or maybe it is something different all together.

  Hello

  It seems that the portable computer s display supports the LED backlight.
  Usually the FL inverter controls the backlight of the display.
  As far as I know than the Panel FL inverter and LCD are connected to the motherboard. The fluorescent lamp is connected to the FL inverter Board.

  In your case, it might be possible that the screen, fluorescent lamp or the FL inverter might not work.

  Don t think that the graphics card is affected from the external screen is OK.
  So in your case, I would recommend asking a single Toshiba ASP to check parts

  By the way: have you tried to update the BIOS or the display driver? I think it is worth a try before contact with service agents.

• Satellite A660-1DW - screen graphic problem becomes faints

  Hi guys, this is the first time m write on any shape... !!

  Basically, I bought toshiba A660-1DW from argos 4 months after using it for 4 months VGA (display graphic problem becomes faints and a little colored lines appear on the screen)

  .. as I had the warranty for the laptop, I went to argos, told them the problem rather than send it back for repair they just have me service number customer toshiba...

  returned home rang Toshiba, they gave me a few REF a bit and asked me of the drop to the argos... the next day went to argos they accepted and send it to toshiba for repair... after 3 weeks they have me called yesterday picked up the phone after using the laptop for 5 minutes, same problem was there...

  then I took it back to argos they still accepted and send it for repair, but they also said if the problem 3rd time I'll have to take the same branch of argos from where I bought the laptop... .fondamentalement I bought in HOUNSLOW and I live in slough.

  the conclusion that I am crazy about her, here it is... TOSHIBA AND ARGOS these people got the WORST service you will ever find anywhere on the other hand,

  THESE PEOPLE ARE MUCH MORE BETTER THEN TOSHIBA because IF THE CUSTOMER IS NOT happy with the product they will replace or Exchange streight away...!

  Hello

  I had a problem with my laptop and the ASP has replaced everything for free because the guarantee was valid.
  The guys are really helpful and friendly, so I did a very good experience with the Toshiba service and notebooks of other manufacturers can also be defective

  Of course, there might be some difference between the different cases, but I can't say that the service is not ok

• Satellite A660 - fan and temperature problem

  Probably after that Bios Update to 2.3 increased fan is efficient and temperatures grew deadly
  So please help!

  I can't work on my laptop and the children cannot play in games (even simpler)
  regards and sorry for my English

  I imagine that this behavior is the result of the update of the BIOS.
  Can you please tell us what was the reason for the update of the BIOS? Sorry to ask this, but I always say that there is no reason to change anything, if there is not a serious problem.
  What to do now?

  In general, you can't do much, but what you can try is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider, explain the situation and ask if there is a possibility for BIOS downgrade.
  I guess that they have access to the database of Toshiba and can get the older version of BIOS for you.

• Satellite A660 - message: WARNING: a problem with the cooling system

  My laptop recenly started giving the error "Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." Please turn off computer immediately and return it for service"- Yes the fan had stopped working and touchpad area was hot.

  So I take it on the type of service (toshiba) and must answer for fan, Mo, HARD drive, he said. Is this possible? -J' I have extended warranty, but is ' t it much? not to mention that it takes a month to get things down.

  He also mentioned that I could use the machine with a cooling pad until then if I wish.

  Any feed back?

  > Yes the fan had stopped working and touchpad area was hot.

  In this case, there is really a hardware problem.
  But I m wondering why he should replace the HARD drive and the motherboard
  Perhaps only the cooling module began at malfunction of course this is just a speculation
  If the technician has checked the material, then they need to know what parts are not OK.
  So don t think you have no choice.

  But the guarantee is valid for all is free

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that you can ignore these messages to update the driver. If you n t notice no problem you can always use the old drivers.

  To save energy, you must use the Eco Mode on your laptop. As far as I know Satellite A660 has a key of Eco, if you press it, Eco Utility will start and save energy.

  In addition the preinstalled Windows 7 Toshiba is already configured for better compatibility and good performance. You can install and do what you want, everything is configured properly. :)
