• Satellite A660-18 does not have upgraded the BIOS to v1.90

  The BIOS upgrade notice came in the Toshiba Service Station program and I downloaded the new update of the BIOS and pressed the button "install". The program extracts and ran but then stop saying:

  Installation of UEFI WinFlash 0.02 in the title bar

  + "The program will be closed! +
  + There is an error occurred, please check below Articles. +
  + Version of the BIOS above 190. +
  + Plus 10% of battery capacity. +
  '+ AC is attached. +

  Obviously, the battery is fully charged and I'm running on AC. If I start up the computer and go to BIOS F2 screen, it reports as v1.80.

  He reports the BIOS version as something akin to garbage in Toshiba HWSetup program:

  V234567890. 00/00/00000000000

  He also pointed out what is called the CBS Version as "1.80".

  Anyone else have problems to install the new BIOS (published on 25/01/2011) v1.90?

  And you are using the original operating system preinstalled you got with your laptop?

  Hello, I have another problem with my new Satellite A660-1FL.

  I replaced the built-in hard drive of Hitachi against the many Toshiba MK3265GSX quieter. Now I always hear a beep when the processor is not loaded. It's especially annoying when I read the documents. I read on the internet that the problem occurs with the C4 State.

  How can I solve this?

  Hmm... This strange because I have Satellite A660 in front of me and can t s such notice beep. Everything is perfect and it s very quietly.

• Satellite A660 / 07P - problems with my browsers, internet connection

  Hey guys,.

  I just brought a Satellite A660 / 07P.
  I have problems with my browsers, internet connection.

  After a period of time (varies) my browsers stop to connect to internet.
  Skype works fine, as does my download manager and other internet services.

  When I run an internet system restore works again for a period of time, before picking up the handset.
  I used this happens with all browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome).

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Ry ~.

  Hi dude

  Skype works fine. Right?

  This means that the laptop is connected properly to the router and the internet connection has been established successfully.
  I think that a firewall can affect the functionality of the browser. Check the firewall settings.

  In addition you should check if other installed 3rd party tools to affect the functionality of the browser.
  Verify installed tools

  last but not least you could clean the operating system. Use the CCleaner.
  Free is nice tools.

• Satellite A660 3rd party WLAN does not work

  Hello

  I had a problem with my WLAN adapter so I used to replace.
  Currently, I have installed card Broadcom Dell Wireless 1397.
  It has been defined by Device Manager and drivers have been installed.
  But it is impossible to turn on the WLAN.
  When I click the buttons activate WLAN, it just back to the OFF position.
  I also use Windows 10.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I own Satellite A660 - 16 M. Initially, it was equipped with Broadcom BCM4318 WLAN card. I decided to replace it with an Intel Centrino N-6230 dual band with 3.1 Bluetooth card. Replacement process was fairly easy, the problem was to make the new card working group. I use Windows 10 as an upgrade to Windows 7 Home. As you can imagine that the utility flash cards stopped working after the upgrade of the system, but Windows 10 has managed to cope with BCM4318 since the original drivers and Windows 7 registry entries have been always working in the background. The WLAN button above the keyboard worked, was so orange the LED in the front of the laptop.

  Situation changed completely with the new Intel Centrino 6230 N WLAN card. Despite he properly recognized by device with all the necessary drivers automatically responsible manager, I was unable to have the WLAN button and the LED orange work which is to turn on the radio (the card WLAN itself, its possibilities of wifi). The weird part is that the Bluetooth worked without any problems.

  The solution was to put a small piece of electrical tape on the 20 PIN of the new WLAN card to prevent WLAN DISABLE State presented to the motherboard. So RADIO WLAN is always on, so Windows 10 own wifi tools were able to switch on the WIFI network and... I see now all (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) wireless networks. Of course the WLAN button and the orange LED still haven't work (it seems that it is somehow hardcoded to support only the original BCM4318) but I don't love about it. The most important is that I'm now a lot more capable wireless network inside my laptop card.

  I hope that the solution above works in your case, 8stack. Watch the attached files to see what she looked like, as in my case.

• Need new keyboard for Satellite A660

  Hello

  I need to get a new keyboard to replace the one in my laptop Toshiba Satellite because some keys stopped working.

  My computer is a Toshiba Satellite A660-PSAW3A-07P00R.

  I have been looking online at different and a single list as "fitting Toshiha Satellite A660 laptop computers".

  Does anyone know if different laptops of the A660 other shape series computers laptops, or I need to find the specific part that is compatible with the number of my computer?

  In addition, the keyboard of my laptop doesn't have the function of backlit, but in some lists I could find that didn't function backlit.

  Anyone know if the backlit keyboard is a size different from that which is not backlit and therefore it does not my laptop?

  I would be very grateful of any help.

  Thank you.

  When the keyboard is removed on the back side is a sticker with part number that you can use to search for and order new keyboard. In my opinion this is the best and easiest way to find a good keyboard.

  Keyboard with backlight has additional cable for power and you cannot use it with our machine, so, in my opinion, there is no sense to buy it. Remove the keyboard and we part of the keypad number.

  I don't know if you have experience with disassembly, but be careful if you want to do it yourself. Small mistake and something may be broken. If all this is too risky for you I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can order the original keyboard and switch to... I think only 20 minutes.

• Satellite A660 - do not find external DVD drive

  Hey guys. Newbie displaying in total despair of and needing help! I posted in other forums without success. I bought a Samsung SH-D162D DVD drive in a USB enclosure to connect to my Satellite A660 via USB.

  I can't get Windows 7 to find! When I plug in the USB cable, the ball comes up to say that it has been installed (sometimes), I can see it on for about 1 or 2 minutes then he falls. It is not listed in my hardware or anything. Its not found in disk management or my devices, so it is not a case to change the drive letter - I can't find the drive to change. I also tried to find upper and lower settings in regedit. Could not find them so couldn't remove them as suggested in other posts of this nature.

  It is set to master, the IDE connector and power connectors are very good. Its got to be a cause of problem of Windows 7 it comes very briefly. In the minute or 2 sound, I can't do anything with it. It crashes right although it will open and close. I've google it and can't find anything. Mainly of registry issues, but they did not help.

  Ive also connected to another laptop with XP and had no problems so I know the DVD Rom works very well and all the cables are ok. Ive tried all 4 USB ports on my laptop and also disabled all the parameters of energy. All with no luck. And I also all Windows 7 update.

  This is exactly what happens to the power out of the Cabinet.

  1. I connect the USB cord then turn on the enclosure.
  2 - I quickly click Start, and I can see the DVD Rom E player beside my computer laptop dvd rom.
  3 - the green bar above starts to fill to the top, from left to right and gets to half way then suddenly disappears icon of DVD Rom and makes the green bar.
  4. He then flashes up in computers laptops DVD Rom icon with a player of Local E drive, but only for a fraction of a second.
  5. sometimes a balloon comes up saying peripheral installation, then the installed device successfully... but not every time.

  And that's all. I'm at a total loss and the cant work, so any help is really appreciated!

  Hi Smee,

  So if you have already connected the external hard drive on another computer, and it worked correctly, it seems to be a driver or compatibility between your external DVD drive problem and and your Satellite A660

  It will be connected to the port USB then you tried to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager? After that, you must restart your computer and the USB ports will be recognized automatically from the Device Manager. In addition, I would also try updating the chipset driver. New version, which you can download on the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Have you also tested other devices on your A660 if they work properly?

• Satellite A660 - display seems to come out of the 'calibration '.

  I often hibernate instead of shut down or restart, even if I go to and from an administrator account to update Windows 7, Firefox and antimalware. I find that the screen tends to get all washed out, as if someone bent to the high brightness and reduces the contrast. It is not quite the same thing as the real Visual problem resembles a panel painted which is being altered, as white dither. It disappears after a reboot.

  Y at - it something of graphics can I reset manually rather than through a full reboot?

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. The same happens when you use the sleep mode?
  Using original pre-installed BONES that you got with your laptop or maybe clean version of the OS?
  The original Toshiba display driver you are using.

  Satellite A660 is not the laptop more recent, so it will be interesting to know since when did you notice this behavior.

• Re: Satellite A660 - drivers graphics Intel & installation Service Pack 1

  Hello, hope someone can help me.
  I recently put in a new hard drive in my Toshiba Satellite A660 No. model. PSAW3A-15J06T, and after you have reinstalled Windows 7 (64 bit), SP1 is not presented as an option to upgrade to windows. I read on the microsoft site, my Intel Graphics HD Driver 8.15.10.2119 would make this problem and it should be updated.

  I have had no success finding the right driver to fix this.
  In Device Manager, the driver name is just "Intel(r) HD Graphics" date of 21/04/2010 driver, version 8.15.10.2119.
  I upgraded my Nividia driver successfully for Toshiba downloads, but can't find a newer driver for the Intel(r) HD Graphics.

  I desperately need to Service Pack 1 and can not just download it from the Microsoft Download Center either, because the info said to ensure that the drivers are up to date.

  Can someone point me in the direction where I can download the right driver Intel Graphics. I looked at the Intel site, but its way just above my head.

  Hoping someone can help
  Karen

  According to specification for laptop , your laptop comes with HP Win7 64 bit.

  You have installed the original version of recovery which includes all drivers?
  Anyway, in the past, I've got several machines Toshiba and after a certain period of time under Windows Update was always offered Service Pack 1 as option for the Microsoft Windows Update. Maybe not at the beginning of the specifications of its use with own OS preinstalled. Wait a bit.

  To be honest, it is unclear to me that it depends on display preinstalled driver and I ve never done such an experience.

• Satellite A660 - 10 X sometimes won't start - screen black startup

  Hello

  _sometimes_ my Satellite A660-10 x (PSAW3E) usually start.
  I turn it on, you hear the fan coming, on the screen, you see a blinking cursor on the screen in the top left, it kind of more climbs to left and top over in the corner and stops. Nothing happens, after a while, I turn off the laptop.
  If I do this 3 - 5 times then it starts. Sometimes it starts on the first attempt.

  What I tried:
  Reinstall the PC since the partition of drive with Win7
  Out of HARD drive in my desktop PC and CHKDSC running with analysis and correct errors.
  Cleaning of all the PC of dust, fans etc.
  Pulling out / in battery/AC
  Check the memory (RAM)
  Processor power management change the State of the minimum 5% to 100% CPU

  I understand PC, but this day have no idea what can cause this. The only thing that comes to mind is that the partition at the beginning of the disk contains errors that I can't reach because there a boot partition, partition original installation and the rest which is the only one, I can not reach with CHKDSC.
  I heard someone tried changing battery of motherboard (small round), it can it be?

  It doesn't seem to be the disc or the problem of the LCD screen, or RAM memory.

  > I turn it on, you hear the fan coming, on the screen, you see a blinking cursor on the screen in the top left, it kind of more climbs to left and top over in the corner and stops. Nothing happens, after a while, I turn off the laptop.

  Cursor blinking in the upper left is a well-known landmark and could be related to defective RAM or HARD disk memory problems.

  Verification of memory could be carried out, and in my experience, these controls provide memory about the correct results. But even if verification of memory would not find any problem of RAM, it could still be a nuisance RAM.

  Of course, I can't say with certainty, if his RAM related question or maybe its related to other defective part.
  Fact is that this problem is caused by problems of material and in the worst case that the motherboard needs to be replaced.

• Satellite A660 - Win 8.1 power settings option not available

  Hello

  I upgraded my Toshiba (A660) to 8.1 64 x. (clean install)

  All if works well except idle protected function, which seem to have disappeared of power options.
  In my view, that a driver is required. (I have installed a single Toshiba driver)

  They don't seem to have VAP more.

  Can someone tell me what is the driver I need to install for this problem?

  Thank you.

  > All works well except idle protected function, which seem to have disappeared of power options.
  What exactly is the function of inactive variation? Display backlight control?

  Toshiba not stand in my knowledge of Windows on the Satellite A660 8.1 and therefore you would not find drivers Windows 8.1 for this series.

  If you want to install the utilities and tools Toshiba Windows 8.1, you will need to seek such software in your own hand. But I'm not quite sure if software published for other portable Toshiba would be compatible with the A660 m model.

  However, the fact is that there is no such thing as the package of added value to win 8.1.
  This was the case with Vista or Win 7, but it is not available for Windows 8.1.
  The VAP has been replaced by the system of Toshiba driver.

• Upgrade Win 8 to Satellite A660 - 18 PSAW3E Wizard

  I have a Satellite A660-18, part No. PSAW3E which, according to the instructions on the site of Toshiba UK, I've upgraded to Windows 8.

  Windows 8 tells me that I need to re-installToshiba Disc Creator and according to the website of UK from Toshiba, that I should be able to do this, (and whatever it takes), thanks to the Toshiba Upgrade Wizard.

  So I follow the link on the site of the United Kingdom, and my Satellite A660-18 is not listed. Support page which I am bound to the United States seems to be only for drivers and does not in any case seem to list the upgrade wizard.

  I tried a search on the US site and found and installed the upgrade wizard, but when I ran I got a message "this upgrade wizard does not support your region."

  Can someone help me with this?

  I have updated from other computers, (plu sort of it), without any problem whatsoever. but this one has pulling me my hair out.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Here, you can page warranty Toshiba Australian:
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/warranty/statements

  You can find the statements of warranty for Toshiba products purchased in Australia.

  As far as I know the standard warranty is valid and valid for 12 months in Australia only.
  If you are outside Australia and you want to use the guarantee you need a limited international warranty that applies to all services outside the Australia and the New Zealand.
