Satellite A660-10W duly cut heating

My laptop cuts yesterday I believe to be due to overheating.

I was watching a DVD for more than 2 1/2 hours and it cuts out.
Then I lit and realized that while it was hot - or more than 70 degrees (so it must have been even hotter when he cuts).

Today, it seems correct. I'm not watching a DVD.
The level reached 55 degrees / fan seems to work 90%

What do you think?

Is it "normal" to get overheated after watching a DVD for so long?
Although it seems correct today is 55 degrees on the side "hot"?
I'd appreciate any help / suggestions.

Thank you

Hello

Due to stress CPU and GPU, the dissipation of the heat could be higher.
But the laptop does not power off if the cooling modules work correctly.
So be sure that there is enough free space around the laptop while watching movies or games or running another high uprising.

You should also check if the laptop s of aeration is not blocked by dust.
I clean my fans from time to time using a jet of compressed air that helps to clean the cooling fans. Usually, this should be good enough to keep the temperature at a normal level.

  • Satellite A660-10W - sensitive arrow

    I have a Satellite A660-10W running Windows 7 64 - bit for about 7 months now. A couple of days, I noticed that the arrow right key has become very sensitive. It feels quite normal just like other keys when press and not really soft to the touch, but the slightest contact to the key force to trigger last. This a major drawback for me since I use it a lot to write (my work) and this button now is not accurate at all and it becomes a problem when I need to use it.

    Could someone help me with this?

    Thanks in advance

    Hey,.

    It is not easy to discuss this problem and I think that this should be checked by a technician of laptop if it s or not normal behavior. I can t say anything about it without seeing it.

    Your laptop is only 7 months old, so I would contact a service provider authorized in your country. In this case the repair is free so ask the guys for help. They should check your keyboard if it needs to be replaced or another part.

    I don't know where you can find an authorized service provider?

    As far as I know this software is part of the original image recovery and cannot be downloaded separately. Toshiba offers updates only.
    > The rep of Toshiba (Mafil) in Israel has changed my hard drive but did not 'recovery '...
    I m not 100% sure, but I think that they are not obliged to install the recovery image. Why? The recovery media (DVD) must be created by the owner of the laptop and used for recovery image installation if something goes wrong with the HARD drive.

    Hello

    You about Egypt?
    Well, I think that it of very hot it right?

    This is so for more why the laptop s modules cooling must run faster than usual.

    In addition, you should check your cooling modules. Possibly, there is a lot of dust and debris. All these fans and cooling grids must be clean! Air needs to circulate and to remove dust and debris.

    I clean my fans using a jet of compressed air. It helps to clean the fans.

  • Resolution + on Satellite A660-10W - finally it works

    My son has been abandoned, but I have not finished his comments.
    I would like you to know that most of the A660 is not installed with a player of DVD from Toshiba and therefore the resolution + does not work.
    Who would have thought that Toshiba do advertising resolution + but not install their own Toshiba DVD player?

    I want to thank all those who helped me, and helped to try to help me, even though ultimately I had to get technical help from the Enduser EMEA complaint team
    due to my initial complaint that my laptop Satellite A660-10W did not carry the resolution +.

    However, I must say that comments like the following comments on the resolution + do no justice to Toshiba and were very helpful:
    1. first its nothing special and the second is not the end of the world if you don't have it on your laptop
    2. you can see the only thing it's done colors watch grow up, not huge improvement and I am sure that there are many programs that offer the same or similar thing.
    3. have u even seen photos I posted? If you knew that ud is not much of an improvement

    All made by the same person.
    After you have installed a completely new version of Toshiba DVD Player with resolution + I can't understand you enough what a technology is wonderful. It made old DVD until almost the HD quality and I can testify that it is excellent and I am very glad that I persisted and he did not listen.

  • Satellite A660-10W freezes

    I have a toshiba satellite laptop A660-10W, the largest computer laptop by the many problems we do not know why!

    The second week of the date of purchase. I had a problem with me is 'Windows Freeze!' I don't know why, and you still get this problem when you open Live Messenger and use the chat and video! Windows Freeze and not move the mouse only when the work restart!

    RAM has no problem, no problem with hard drive, no graphics card problem!

    Been fully considered "to the Distributor at the Kuwait.
    http://www.ABM-Kuwait.com/e-Toshiba.html ".
    There is not any problem in the laptop!

    We want a solution to this problem, the problem also, a lot of this version A660-10W, many complain about 'Windows Freeze!'

    Hello

    If you are authorized distributor so I put t understand why you n t get in touch with Toshiba. He is a man of the official user forum

    Secondly, I would recommend installation of Toshiba image located on drive recovery HARD or on the recovery disk created.

    The issue may be related to software and processes that are running in the background!

  • Satellite A660-10W with HDCP support

    Hello guys,.

    I have the A660-10W and want to download iTune HD movies
    He said: I need to have a video driver with HDCP (support?) but I don't know, and I do not understand what it is.
    I would appreciate your help - as you have done very well in the past.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    HDCP is a copy protection Protocol.
    This Protocol prevents copying of high-definition movies.
    If the system does not support HDCP, you will not be able to send data to the device (TV, LCD) through other ports such as DisplayPort or DVI or HDMI.

    Microsoft Vista and Windows 7 use HDCP screens and computer graphics cards.
    But if you want to watch movies in high definition on an external TV, you must ensure that both HDMI ports on TV and laptop support HDCP.

    But it seems that Sat A660-10W does not support HDMI port and so you will not be able to watch as the HDCP protected HD movies on external monitors.

  • Satellite A660-10W - fan works too

    I had my A660-10W 10 months. Recently the fan suddenly turn a lot, whereas previously it was quiet. I don't do games, I just write and browse the Internet or watch a movie. The fan works now, 69% always, very often 90% and temperature show 54 or 64.

    I would like to point out the fan does not like this before, so I'm worried that it will cause damage.

    Thank you.

    Hi Bedouins,

    Are you currently using another power plan or have you changed something on the cooling method? From my own experience, I can say that if I use the Eco mode there are much less active fan. If the laptop is quieter and it safes a little battery.
    If you use the power balanced Windows profile, it uses the method of cooling a maximum performance. If the fan runs more often.
    In most cases I use the Eco mode to surf on the internet because it s enough.

    In addition it s advisable to clean the cooling system from time to time using a jet of compressed air.
    Do you have already?

  • Question about consumption on the Satellite A660-10W

    My A660-10W (new) was wrong and Toshiba (Mafil in Israel) has changed the hard drive.
    Now the computer acts differently that before when I got it like new.

    For example; and my question is:
    1. After about 15 minutes, it automatically goes into sleep mode.
    I understand that the setting can be changed, however I would like to know if this happens when something is running?
    either I left the WD external BACK-UP running, but he fell asleep...
    2. the same thing will happen if Im watching a movie, for example?

    Thank you

    Laptop can't handle in different way. I guess you are using the recovery of images (Toshiba original Win7) and parameters are exactly the same as before.
    # Yes, you can change it. Simply enter the change plan settings for the power plan that you use, and where you can change the time when the laptop should go to mode "Eve". You can also disable using Pétion NEVER.
    # I can't say with certainty, but on my computer laptop doesn t go "standby mode", when I watch the movie. Test it. Set for 2 minutes and put on a movie.

  • Re: Satellite A660-10W - connection external display with HDMI cuts sound on

    When I use an external display via the HDMI, it mutes the sound of the laptop.
    It's OK because the external display has a headphone/speaker output jack.

    However, when I close the external screen (which I use for movies only) and to use the laptop only, the sound is cut all the time that the HDMI cable is connected.

    I can't hear sound - by harman/kardon speakers or headphone - when the HDMI cable is disconnected (if the external display is turned on or off).

    Is there a way to allow me to have the choice and use her laptop - even when the HDMI cable is connected - in order not to keep plugging and plugging on?

    Thank you

    It is clear.
    If the HDMI cable is connected, then the digital output is defined as audio output by default and therefore you do not hear the sound of the internal speakers but on external monitor speakers.

    You need to change the sound settings.

    Go to control panel of-> sound-> reading tab and set the speakers to laptop as default.
    Then you should hear sound from the speakers for laptop!
