Satellite A660-158 want covers do not

Since I bought the laptop (17.09.2010) I'm not using the recovery option. But once I want to use them he does not leave. Not on F8, not on F12, not on F11, not on 0 (zero). The utility called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator tell me it's something wrong with the hard disk drivers, but I do not install the disk drivers, they are original.

Anyway I have install the clean Windows 7 from the MSDN DVD and use my number series, all is well here, but the ECO button want does not. All buttons works fine but not touch ECO. It will beep, but is not and the Eco utility (program and all the drivers installed). Finally, with the score HDDRECOVERY all right - it is the first partition on the disk and hidden.

Why I can't start the recovery? I am now pressed a lot a lot of buttons one by one, but recovery not starting not not... :(

> Why I can't start the recovery?
Your answer is:
>.. .i install Windows 7 clean from the MSDN DVD and use my serial number
When you install own OS the created recovery options Toshiba and bootloader is rewritten, so there is no way to start the HARD drive recovery process because the option fix my computer in advanced startup option will be missing.

In the history I n t understand the first part. When you get the new Satellite A660 you will have factory settings. When you start for the first time you will be able to create using recovery disk pre-installed Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. Have you created this disk?
By default, recovery image is saved on a small partition of HARD drive. It is not visible in windows Explorer, but in the disk management options and if you change something here, this Toshiba tool will be not have full access to this small partition.

  • Satellite A660-158 - cannot start Windows

    Toshiba Satellite A660-158

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660-158. It has served me less than a week. I think it's the broken hard drive.

    My problem:
    Once I start the computer, it started and has worked for a while, but suddenly, there was an error reading that I didn't have the time. Computer has been restarted. And does not load... Until the boot mode does not reach. But the initial test (with logo) succeeded. Takes a long time and finally gives an error:
    -----
    Cannot start Windows. Maybe it was because of the recent small difference is the hardware or software configuration. To fix this error:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc, restart the computer (the complete transmission wasn't)
    2. choose the language settings, and then click Next.
    3. Select "repair your computer".
    If this disk is missing, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer (he turned and said to wear to the DEPOT, but I do not have this feature).

    Status: 0xc000000e

    Details: Unable to start menu, since the required device is inaccessible.

    Hey,.

    And why do you think the hard drive is faulty?
    Have you ever tried the repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory in a few minutes.

    Also if you have the Toshiba recovery disc you can also restore the factory of this disc. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. You need to do a few clicks only, installation with all the drivers and tools happen automatically.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  • Satellite A660 DVD/CD drive does not detect disks

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 with a CARPET * A BD - CMB UJ141ES DVD/CD-ROM. It is around the age of 18 months and recently I noticed that it does not recognize the CD/DVD. He made a few noises once inserted but then stops spinning and nothing happens or changes in my computer.

    Please note that there seems to be no apparent problem with the reader:
    -It is present in my computer
    -The device works correctly in Device Manager

    I already tried things:
    -Run Microsoft FixIt and troubleshooting of CD-ROM/DVD - both said that he could not recognize media
    -Remove the upper filter in the registry according to the many suggestions (this lower filters)
    -Update driver

    I don't know what else to do. Please help because it's frustrating for a relatively new laptop which is never left my office (don't expect much damaged parts).

  • 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.

  • Satellite A660-15t - display driver does not

    Hi all

This is the driver downloaded on the Toshiba site and it is quite disturbing since it is one loan and other machine my a660 had another serious problem with the same graphics chip (GT330M) is what can I do?

    Thank you very much

    Passman S

    I noticed the same problem on my Satellite P500 with the same NVIDIA graphics card. But after that the driver puts everything works well again.

    To be honest I don't know why this happen and always happens when I m using internet explorer or the browser chrome. When this happens to you?

    If you can continue your work after recovering from the pilot, according to me, there is no reason to panic

  • Re: Satellite A660 - FN + F1 - F9 does not work after hibernate

    This problem often occurs when my A660 went from hibernation mode, and sometimes in normal situation
    It can only be fixed by a reboot of the system, I checked the application of Flash cards and it's work and I still can use it instead of the FN key
    also in this case I can always use FN or FN + 3 and 4 to increase or reduce the noise but is not workig at all with the function keys 1-9, until the system is restarted

  • Satellite A660-149 illumination buttons will not work.

    Hello
    Until today, I had no problem with this great machine. But now, on random, the lighting buttons are simply not. I managed to make it to the light, and when I start the machine upward, they seem to work. However, when he enters the office, they are brilliant, but does does not (except for the volume buttons). I also noticed that I can't turn off my touch pad, which is a bit annoying.
    It is possible that I have to move these buttons somehow, but I don't know how...

    Please open Toshiba Assist and OPTIMIZE option, below HardwareSetup tool. Check if the settings button is enabled or disabled.

    In the worst case, you can reinstall VAP and everything should be OK again.

  • Satellite A660-10W screen saver does not display

    Nice day.

    My screen saver, power saver, screen dimmer, etc. will come not on the same when I change the wait time, etc. and save the settings.
    I have a Magic Jack hooked up all the time to one of the USB ports - could it be the cause does not activate the Saver screen or could it be something in the McAfee Anit-virus, anti-spyware system cause?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Usually the screen saver appears if you would not touch the keyboard, the touchpad or mouse for awhile.

    I didn t know the magicJack but I googled a bit and it seems that this device that plugs into a USB port provides a standard phone jack RJ-11 in which any standard phone can be connected.
    This might be the reason, but that's just a guess

    But check the screen saver timeout settings:
    This will change the timeout of screensaver for all users
    -Open the Local Group Policy Editor (type gpedit.msc in the search)
    -In the left pane, click on to expand user, administrative templates, control panel and customization
    -In the right pane, right-click on the screen saver time-out and click on change
    -Select enabled
    -In the Options, select or how many seconds must elapse in order to launch the screensaver
    -Click OK and close the editor.
    -Restart the device and check if this work.
