Satellite A660-18 does not stop

When I close my laptop it will stay running and the fan will still going strong, as it was before, but when I open it again the screen will be black and I need to restart.
I also can't close it normally - it will remain on the screen "shutting down" and finally bluescreen. Also when I unplug my mouse while using it does not work when I plug back in.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to know since when you have noticed such behavior?

When the laptop has been delivered there own operating system preinstalled and I can't imagine issue described occur on the first day. It is not easy to say why this happens but I can imagine a running process blocks your laptop and it cannot switch down correctly.

Did you install additional software?
Before you try to turn off your laptop open Task Manager and try to close some applications related to different processes that run in the background (if you have installed some of them).

    I have a Satellite A660 and when not hooked to an external monitor or TV, the laptop screen is white and you can't use it.
    The only way I can use the laptop and being able to see the screen is if I connect the laptop to the TV via a HDMI cable and use it like that.

    Have you tried to use the FN + F5 to switch between the internal and external screen?
    Try this.

    If that does not help, then I would recommend contact the ASP in your country, because security must still be valid (as you posted it above).
    I think that the internal display is faulty, because the output of the video work, which means that this graphics card should be ok.

    Hello

    Please reinstall the Wlana driver and try again. (Do not to update to uninstall the old driver, restart the device and install the new drivers)
    In most cases these disorders Wlan is displayed if the WiFi driver does not work correctly.
    Given that all other laptops are ok, I think that it is a temporal matter in the registry or something like that

    PS: It is possible that the FN buttons do not work corectly. Therefore, you can reinstall the VAP (value added package) and support of card Flash Utility so in order to reconfigure the FN keys.

  • Satellite A660 - program does not for a mili-second

    Hello

    Sometimes, the program I use flashes in mode of non-resonsive.

    For a milli-second the program stops or the image of the desktop appears and then disappears again.
    Sometimes it happens only once, but in some programs, it happens constantly and they are impossible to use.

    I have an A660 running Windows 7, 32-bit with an i7 from intel.
    I loaded all the latest updates to the graphics card and drivers.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Thank you

    Hi mate

    It's ok.
    You will always notice a delay while loading some applications or software.
    This happens because the software loads into RAM.
    It depends also processes that are running in the background.
    Background processes can insist on the CPU and this can affect the performance of the application or may cause some short delays

    To improve this, I recommend cleanning the OS using CCleaner and disable certain porocesses that are not really important to you.
    You can do it is msconfig

  • Satellite L750-1PP does not stop

    I have Win7 Ultimate, and I noticed that the bluetooth is not working...

    What do you think? What should I do? Is a bluetooth problem? Or will reinstall Win7 problem?

    > I have Win7 Ultimate.
    That means you don t use Toshiba original preinstalled the operating system, but your own version. Who knows how you installed and that you have installed on your laptop?
    Who knows what are the applications are running in the background and that it blocks stop process.

    You know, it's not easy to give the right answer to your question. In my opinion software original BT should not be the problem. Maybe some additional application's troublemaker.

    If possible, try to put an end to running processes in the Task Manager and check if the closing is OK. Maybe you will find what is the problem there.
    > Or will reinstall Win7 problem?
    In general Yes, especially if you install original OS that you got with your laptop.

    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:

  • Satellite A660-10W does not not after recovery

    Hello!

    I just picked up my phone to default factory settings. all is ok so far... After you install the utilities 55 pilots and other things (automatically after the first start) it restarted and today when it starts normal or in all other modes except Safe Mode comes from the "Welcome" screen and "preparing your desktop..." the screen turns blue, the pointer goes up and it stucks...

    I have average won't load, I can't even run the Task Manager. Any ideas?

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. There is unfortunately no way to force your laptop computer to complete the installation of recovery and to prepare BONES for first time use.

    All you can do now is get the BIOS to the default settings and try to install recovery image once more.

    Use you the installation of HARD drive or a DVD recovery created?

    Hey Buddy,

    You can start your laptop in safe mode? This means that if you press the F8 key before Windows starts and you choose Safe mode can you start Windows?

    If this isn't the case I think that it s something wrong with your Windows installation and that's why you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  • Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

    In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
    Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

    What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

    When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

    When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
    The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.
