• Satellite A660 - cooling fan is too slow

  Hello

  I own TOSHIBA Satellite A660 - 10 X
  the problem is that fan will slow (when the laptop starts its goes much faster that slowing it down). Problem is that the laptop is overheating and that it stops without any warning. I'm working on it and must be reliable.

  I tried the power management but there are only "optimized batery' or 'up', but at least it won't max for sure.

  Is it possible to check the speed of the fan? I tried several aplications to see fan speed but they do not work.

  And I never found fan in BIOS.

  You use applications that require a lot of graphics performance?
  S your laptop sitting on the desk when you work with it.

  Do not forget that all the vents, especially downstairs are not blocked somehow.

• 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.

  Thank you

  Thank you

  This pillar which anyone can help me with this HINT: my laptop is the core i7 processor

  Thank you improved

  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.

• 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?
  Here you can do:

  PS: The sensitivity of the individual keys can t be changed.

• Need of WinDVD BD for my Satellite A660-10W

  The rep from Toshiba (Mafil) in Israel has changed my hard drive but did not do "recovery" but in the meantime I downloaded most of the 'bundled' programs the original laptop came with.

  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.

  + Important INFORMATION +.

  + Your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do so directly from the hard disk (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

• Satellite A200 - fan works too

  Hello

  I will present my problem briefly to you in the hope that I can find a solution.

  I work with recording music. My Satellite A200 can handle the processor high and all the rest. I'm really very happy.

  But the fan works just too well even when CPU is not used much. I installed The Ultimate Troubleshooter (excellent software) in order to eliminate unnecessary software or process. My RAM is 73% free, low 0-10% CPU and my fan speed is measured at 47 degrees Celsius. My hard drive is 33 degrees Celsius. Very low.

  The boring bit, is that my fan is behaving intermittently, but even when nothing is really happening, and the temperature is still very low. I have another laptop to compare to, which is quiet and peaceful in the other corner of the room and only takes action when I activate several operations at once. I wish my Satellite to behave in a similar way.

  I cleaned the fans today, and a lot of dust came out. But still the fan curve. I tried to take control using SpeedFan 4.43, but it does not work. I don't see anywhere in the BIOS how I could control the speed of the fan.

  I need to find a solution, ideally one that doesn't involve buying a new fan, or disassemble the computer. Since the temperature is right at all times, I guess it's just the BIOS programming for constant speed activity that must change. Any suggestions? It would be appreciated.

  All the best, Shlomi.

  Hi shlumaan_1,

  > I cleaned the fans today
  How did you do that? Did you follow the instructions?
  How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system?

  There are different reasons for activity high fan and dust that blocks the fan, the thermal paste should be renewed, etc..

  Fact is that the fan will be controlled automatically to protect the equipment from overheating. What you can do is chancing the cooling method in Windows power management. I put t know what operating system you use but on Vista and Windows 7, open the power management options, change the parameters of the plan, cooling method. You can change between maximum performance and battery optimized. I would recommend setting the optimised battery.

  Also, check the BIOS version. If you have an older version, probably thermal management has been changed with a new version of the BIOS. Update the BIOS that you find on the official website of Toshiba.

  Finally, and especially if your laptop probably has a few years, that the thermal compound must be renewed. This is why I would contact an authorized service provider that will apply the correct thermal grease and also the laptop must be disassembled. Not so easy

• Satellite R630-155 - fan is too loud and SSD update

  I am the owner of a Toshiba Satellite R630-155 (Core i5-480). My problems are:

  1. the fan is too loud and never stops. In normal operation (navigation and General Office work) there is a constant high pitch noise which is audible three to four meters in a desktop - high load environment, you just can't take it anymore! The fan never stops... even when you do nothing...

  2. the heat is a big problem. The bottom of the laptop is overheated constantly and I have to place on my desk so that the lower left corner is outside the table, so it can breathe fresh air from below - otherwise, the temperature rises and the (noisy) fan is unable to follow. When I work with the laptop sitting on a couch, I place a thick book between the laptop and my legs. The book must be thick (more than one inch) with hard covers, otherwise the heat going through the book!

  3. last (but not least, I will mention the biggest problems here) that's the problem with the installation of the SSD. I bought a used Corsair F80 (80 GB SSD) from a friend, but I was unable to use it with the Toshiba - BIOS not detect the disc. I tried to install all the latest updates for portable and SSDS but I had no success. Then I put the disc and I bought a brand new Zalman 128 GB SSD (SSD0128N1 Sandforce) but I had exactly the same problem. I contacted my local support Toshiba and after much conversation, the only answer I got is that the laptop is not compatible with these SSDS, and it is acceptable by Toshiba and not their problem. They told me that if I need an SSD upgrade I cannot go for the Toshiba SSD that is installed on the portege series, which is sold by Toshiba for a ridiculously expensive price - about $500 for 128 GB. I contacted the European support center and I got the same exact answer. I searched the Internet and found someone else with exactly the same problem with a Corsair 128 GB SSD - he concluded that the laptop detects the SSD after ten to twenty resets. I tried and it was true - after a lot of restarts the detected disk Zalman laptop and I was able to successfully install Windows 7, but the process is unacceptable. Also the drive is rated by the sites official at the speed of an OCZ Vertex 2 128 GB (and a little better), but when I ran a cue point in the Toshiba, the results I got were less than half of the advertised speed. Same reference in another machine of the same disc, resulted in the announced speeds.

  Shame for Toshiba...-beautiful design and portability, but all the rest is a big flaw. Their support in non-existent and they do not appreciate their customers. According to me, they stole my money and I will never buy a Toshiba laptop again.

  Sorry for the big message, but I need, I warn potential customers. Can anyone help me with any of these problems? You also have the same problems?

  To follow...

  Hey Buddy,

  With regard to the issue of fan and the heat: you did it BIOS update? A friend told Satellite R630 too and he told me that the fan with the new BIOS version 2.10 activity is reduced. In addition, the laptop is colder than before so I recommend to install this update. You can download the update of the BIOS here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  But before you start the update of the BIOS, you should consider the following tips:
  -Run update as an administrator only
  -Unzip all files from zip archive before launching the update file
  -Close all running programs as the antivirus and firewall
  -Make sure the battery is fully charged

  With regard to the SSD it s still a little complicated to install 3rd party products and no one can guarantee that these parts would not work. You're always on the side safely with original spare parts from Toshiba.

  All you can do is to install the new firmware for SSDS and hope that it works, but who knows maybe the BIOS update will help you also in this case ;)

• 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.

  Sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Poland.

  Hello

  You can install any operating system.
  The laptop would be functions using Linux, Win2k, Win XP Vista Windows 7 and other

  But the question is; Would you be able to find drivers for Linux for A660 16 M.
  "" RESPONSE; No, the Linux drivers are not on the pages of Toshiba, but given that most of the drivers are a part of the Linux distribution, no special drivers are required
  However, if you need the drivers for example. LAN, Wlan, or graphics card then I would recommend research on support of the chip making pages.

• 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.
