• Satellite C660-1ZM is very slow

  I recently fixed my laptop to its original state, so, nothing had been installed to this topic, it seems very slow, because it crashes or stuggles to load on several basic programs, sometimes it loads fine other times it just hangs, I installed several drivers in the list of Toshiba, but always remains the same.

  Any advice?
  Thank you

  What are the core programs for you?
  What exactly happens?

  I think you which is your laptop quite slow. Preinstalled operating system must be configured correctly.
  You must remove all the unnecessary stuff system, configure the startup option to avoid the long start-up and have better performance of the laptop.

  I have a HP laptop with Windows 7 (OS) with 64 bit, but very slow. Can you suggest a way to start my fast pc? Most of the time it doesn't quite work.

  Hello

  There are a number of possible reasons, your computer may run slowly - virus infection or malware, missing to defragment the hard drive, too many programs loading at startup - and all with different causes / solutions. So here goes:

  Virus/Malware - Download, install and run these scanners (only Avast so you do not have your own antivirus installed):

  Malwarebytes': http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html .

  SuperAntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html .

  Avast Antivirus: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html .

  Disk Defragging - install and run this app: http://download.cnet.com/Auslogics-Disk-Defrag/3000-2094_4-10567503.html .

  Startup programs - install this application, then select start only the programs you need to run at startup, as your antivirus, firewall, but not your Disk Defragmenter (examples):

  Splash Guard: http://download.cnet.com/Startup-Guard/3000-2239_4-10958203.html.

  Also, your system's drivers are up-to-date? Updated the driver can also slow down your system. Go to HP.com and insert the complete your laptop model number in the search box to find your latest drivers.

  Let me know if these speed up your pc.

  Kind regards

• Re: Satellite C660 - new slow charge battery

  A few days ago, I bought a new battery (10.8V, 4400mAh) on Amazon (from Batterytec) for my Toshiba Satellite C660-13 q PA3817U-1BRS, 10.8V, 4200mAh.

  The problem is that this battery takes approximately 12 hours to charge: it is very very slow!

  I've done a complete charge cycle to calibrate and the battery life is 2 hours and 25 minutes, after calibration. With the original toshiba (fault) battery, I never had this problem.

  What can I do to solve the problem of the "slow charge"?
  What is a battery fault?
  such behavior is normal?

  Thanks in advance

  Have you bought original Toshiba with sticker Toshiba battery or it is another brand (universal battery)?

• Satellite C660-1LD is super slow

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my Toshiba Satellite C660 - 1LD PSC0QE

  Let me share the problem.

  So I have to use without the battery, most of the time when sudden power failure happens my laptop turns off also. Then I have problems starting upwards just on the black screen. I tried to change the memory in different locations, a disk check HARD and troubleshooting. The last thing I did was to reformat the HARD drive and tried to reinstall windows. Here are my observations:

  -My SATA in the bios configuration is DCIS, so windows tells me that it cannot detect any partition bootable windows installation is not possible to any partition of my HARD drive, but if I move the SATA configuration BIOS compatibility and windows continues to be installed on any partition that I want.

  I thought all right but, when windows are complete its installation suddenly an error pops up

  Now I don't know what to do. It's so frustrating. Then I accidentally inserted the recovery media and the laptop start booting from the disk and install windows and restore it to the factory with its bundled software setting.

  Now, here's the problem. It's so slow. Even the andbootup of starting Windows isso slow it would take 30 minutes just to start. the mouse cursor reacts accordingly except when you open a program or by clicking on the right button takes 10 minutes. Everything is so slow. Now I don't really know what to do.

  Now I am trying to reinstall all drivers and utilities with the latest versions. But I do not get a positive response. Is it a hardware failure? Is it because the SATA setting in bios was put on compatibility, although the default is ACHI?

  I still have to reformat? Help please.

  My advice to you is to use the recovery image only. By default the BIOS settings and install the OS by using recovery media. Recovery image contains all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, so you'll have perfect configuration OS.
  What you need is small optimization of BONE.

  Take some time and read http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
  It's old NET, but the principle is the same on the new machines too. As a small test remove application preinstalled antivirus and check if startup is faster.

• Satellite C660 - new internal keyboard does not work

  Hello

  I'm completely stuck I have a portable satellite c660 keyboard did not work.
  So I bought a replacement keyboard and installed and checked in the Device Manager and it says it is there and works correctly, but the replacement keyboard still does not work.

  I updated the bios and uninstalled the keyboard drivers and reinstalled them that I've done everything I can think off to try and get this new keyboard working but I am having no luck and could so with some assistance.

  Have you ever checked if the USN external keyboard works properly?

  I ask because in the case where the external keyboard does not work properly, the internal keyboard problem could be related to faulty keyboard controller (motherboard) or a problem of system m.

  In case the external keyboard would work properly, you had any luck with the new keyboard. It might be possible that the new keyboard is malfunctioning.

• DVD burner in the new laptop VERY SLOW - PLDS DVD +-RW OF THE - 8A5HH

  I just got a new laptop from Best Buy - Dell Inspiron 3521. There a PLDS DVD +-RW OF THE - 8A5HH drive built in. I tried to burn a data CD, but it failed several times.

  I tried these in the file Explorer and CyberMedia Power2Go Burns, also at the Maximum speed or 24 X. It was using both Philips 52 X speed CDR burning failed at the end, when the burner is trying to close the disc. He couldn't complete a burn speed X 10 (very slow) to Power2Go. File Explorer strangled between 7 X and 10 x to be able to burn and did not show a dialog box saying if the burn is complete or not. He left me guessing.

  It was after a call to Dell technical support and a trip on the Microsoft Support Site to use their CD - RW test online. He said he updated something, but I don't know what.

  I must say it's a disappointment. I think I should have bought a laptop without a burner inside and bought an external burner. At least that way I had have the choice of what I got. This burner is slooowly.

  Anyone have any idea if this can be fixed, or is it just a limitation of the burner is in this laptop? If it is material, well I guess you get what you pay for.

  Dell phone support fixed it. Went to the Microsoft Support website and ran a convenience store of material for DVD players, who suggested the update of the firmware of the player. He did that, and then we went back and burned a disc in the file Explorer and it worked, but only to 10 X I opened Power2Go and burned a disc at 24 X, and it burned successfully. I didn't actually measure the speed (Power2Go shows you that), but it worked well and quickly. I think that the problem was an outdated firmware for the DVD/CD burner. Flashing to the latest firmware fixed the problem.

  I want, I knew that this troubleshooting tool on the Microsoft support site, but now I can not find.

• Satellite A40-151 is very slow

  Hello

  My friend has a laptop A40-151, which happened to be very slow with blue sceens of death, noisey and unit system returning to pio mode rather than ultra dma. We spread an infection by the virus and adware. I've had problems like this with all my last pc and it has always been the hard drive dying, or near death and it smells the same (saving). So yesterday, the laptop become very noisey which I suspected that the hard drive was probably to jam! However, xp blue screen referred to as core and memory dump. Could the CPU and memory also die? Maybe a fan is declining?

  I got a processor celeron with video shared in the past and they were not fast in the best of cases.

  Kind regards

  Ashley

  Hello

  It is best to check the computer step by step:

  1 you said yesterday - the laptop became very noisy it may be because of the clogged cooling module that keeps the fan running hard. You need a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. If you clean it well, but the noise persists, may be that the fan blades are broken (need to be replaced). The HARD disk can also made noise as it is old getting (replace) or need to be defragmented. You can download software Raxco Perfect disk to defragment, it's shareware but free for 1 month.
  2 on blue screen Xp, you must reinstall Windows Xp and see what happens.
  3 it can also be from material, if something serious, should contact ASP (SAV)

• Satellite M45-S169 is very slow

  Hello

  I really hope that someone can give me a notice here...
  Recently, my laptop started to work very slowly. I was using Windows Movie Maker to create projects and she began to hang and not save the project... The use of the CP was 100% and the system ran out of memory quickly... Files with avi, wma, jpg files did not open at all and windows Explorer hanging just whenever I tried to open a. He had more than 20 GB of free space on system C drive and about 8 GB of local disk D... In addition, the copy process has just stopped working properly... It took a long time to copy even small files from one place to another... I am not connected to the network, so this isn't the issue...

  I have reinstalled the operating system (Windows XP SP2)... Files with extensions of different media now open... Although not very quickly. But the copy process takes much longer to finish... It is also very slow browsing photos with Windows picture and Fax Viewer.

  If sth wrong with the material from the laptop or the absence of some drivers could cause problems? What and how can I check this? I've had this laptop for 2 years now...
  I'm not very good with PC equipment and do not know what might not work... I greatly appreciate your help... Really need help here...

  Thank you very much

• Satellite L300-1BW - is very slow

  Hello world!

  I need it for my study and using home. Computer runs VERY slowly. Now I have a version of Windows XP Pro SP3 64 bits. The programs that I have only Ms Office, Skype, Nero, antivirus - BitDefender. I play all the games. IM from the application for my study only - using Ms Word.

  My computer has been verified in the service center and no defects of any sore - not any software and hardware, virus damage, no all manufacture faults. The owners of these model please give me advice what to do. I stuck!

  What should I install Windows XP 32 bit or install Windows 2000 or upgrade hardware (memory... whatever)? I won't be disappointed by TOSHIBA!

  Evil appreciate any HELP!

  Hey Buddy,

  Can you be a little more detailed, please? What do you mean with very slow?
  How long it takes so that it starts Windows?
  How long it takes to start an application?

  I have to say that Windows XP 64-bit wasn t popular and there is no official support for Toshiba for this OS. If you use Windows XP, I recommend to install the 32-bit version.

  Did you test your laptop with the factory settings? It works properly with a preinstalled OS from Toshiba?

  I m also owner of the Satellite L300 and I use the preinstalled Windows XP 32 bit of Toshiba. I m very satisfied with this laptop, it s fast enough and need very little energy. :)

• Satellite A40-151 started very slow and have hours to transfer a single file

  Hello.

  I've had my A40-151 more than two years now, and up to last month, I got no problems at all. However, last month, it began to be very slow and took hours to initialize. I'm worried that I would lose all the data that I didn't back up, and so I bought an external drive to transfer data.

  As I was doing this, my laptop started making grinding noises, and it took up to 12 hours to transfer a single file. I got to the place, I bought it, and they said it had crashed and that it was not something they could do other than get it back - and so I lost all my data.

  When I came back, it was OK for a few hours and then started grinding again! And I think it might be something to do with the CD/DVD drive. I uninstalled the drive, and the squeaking seems to have stopped as long as the "drawer" player is open! Help, please!

  How can I get the drive replaced? My laptop is no longer under warranty. No I lost everything this that data for nothing?

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Hello

  No, the squeaking is probably from the reader of CD/DVD being dry, while optical rides on squeak track passing. But the long loading is certainly a hard drive problem. Looks like a head crash. The head is more or less what locates and reads/writes data from the HARD drive. When this plant it is unable to read/write/or locate the data on the surface taking more and more to save the data, transfer data and load the operating system. Two problems independent of each other. If your ASP cannot repair the cd that squeaks, then they can replace it one that works normally. I hope this has helped you.

• Satellite A30-514 is very slow and how to repair the cooling fan

  My laptop is now very slow. Power on the need to use F1 at startup and it is also quite the slowness of the process. My machine has 512 MB of RAM, but shows only 480 MB on Control Panel. It is believed that it's a RAM failure that made the slow machine or something else. I tried maintenance but did not help.

  Also any what has got the details how you can open the unit up to service the cooling fan as the machine heats up a lot and need a maintenance operation.

  Thank you

• Satellite C50D-A-134 - very slow internet connection

  Hello
  In may, I bought a Saturday C50D-A-134.

  From the very beginning. The internet speed is very slow - Wifi or cable.

  That's what I did:

  Installed the latest drivers (LAN and Wifi)
  Installed latest Bios Update

  Contact internet provider: everything is checked - no problem of provider. (my other laptop on the same network speed gets speeds up to 10 times faster. So it really isn't a provider problem.

  There is no adware installed - it is not a problem of viruses (checked with several programs avast - malwarebytes etc.)

  Can someone help me

  The laptop seems to be equipped with 10/100 (10 Mbits / 100Mbit) Base-TX Ethernet LAN module. T
  It modulates Atheros WB335 WLan supports standards 802.11 b/g/n and supports 150Mbps.

  So for me the hardware configuration seems good and to be honest I don't think that there is a hardware / driver problem

  As you have pointed out the similar problem with both modules (WLAN and LAN) I recommend you to reset the router even if other devices are not affected.

  By the way: what do you exactly mean by slow?
  Can you give us a few values?

• New Satellite L855 - 14K is very slow

  Hi people - advice on this would be appreciated...

  I bought a Satellite L855 - 14K about 2 weeks ago and I am very disappointed to see that sometimes it's extremely slow. For example, enter my password on the screen of welcome to the ZoneAlarm and Avast icons appear in the system tray takes 5 min 45 sec.

  Launch of Chrome takes 1 min 15 sec.

  It takes 40 seconds to launch task manager.

  I did the following to see if I could find the problem...

  Complete system with Avast scan - no threats found.

  Scan on startup with Avast - no infected files.

  Check drive C for errors - no errors detected.

  Optimization and defragmentation - finished.

  Full scan of Malwarebytes - no malicious items.

  SUPERAntiSpyware full scan - found 169 cookies, which I removed.

  Looked at Toshiba PC Health Monitor and everything looked ok.

  Run A tool of diagnosis of Toshiba and everything this past.

  I manually checked the updates of Windows and found 5 optional updates are available, which I installed.

  I disabled a number of items in the startup list - this is what is currently on...

  [http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt196/telbin_2009/startup_zpse4d06bab.jpg]

  I checked the Task Manager Services tab and I have 78 services running.

• Satellite C660 - Fan throw very often

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba C660 laptop. I noticed, this fan run very frequently (the temperature is 45-52 c). I tried to change "Toshiba Power Saver Settings V8.9.4.64" "Battery optimized" in 'advanced power settings', but that didn't help. I updated my BIOS to version 1.80, but he did ' help, too. When will be the new BIOS for this model?

  Hello

  Please don t understand me wrong but acitivy fan will be controlled automatically and is based on the CPU temperature. Still, the fan will start if the CPU is running on a high temperature to protect the equipment. So it of normal.

  What you can do after a few months is the cleaning of cooling as described here:
