Satellite A660-18 - screen too bright if the update to the BIOS?

Hi guys, I need your help with this laptop because it gives me a lot of problems.

I changed the screen of this Satellite A660-18 because one had been installed has been damaged. I installed and works fine but I have problems with the brightness. When I click - on brightness, it goes back and when I click on + it breaks down. It is much too bright and want to do something about it.

Bios help to solve this problem and how Flash the BIOS on these laptops? I flashed the BIOS on desktop pc but on that I don't see any way to do it. Is it possible to fix the screen without changing the BIOS? Some have said that I have to Flash the BIOS as new screens do not work 100% with old BIOS.

Help, please

Thank you

Hi sky blue,

You have an original spare part of Toshiba (display) or is it a 3rd party screen? It is important to use the Toshiba spare parts only because they are tested and designed for your Toshiba laptop. If you use 3rd party parts, they may not work.

The version of the BIOS has nothing to with the brightness of the display and the brightness of the display can be changed with the key FN + F6/F7 combination, but not in the BIOS.

  • 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?

  • Re: Satellite A660 - 12 p - can't find the right poster driver for Win XP

    Hey everyone, I need help with this one:

    I have a dual boot Win7 (x 64) / XP (x 86) on my laptop, but I can't find the right poster drivers for compatible video controller VGA on XP.

    Anyone know where I can find them?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite A660 laptop - 12 p belongs to the PSAW3E series and it was equipped with the chip to display NVIDIA GeForce GT330M.

    You can try to check the drivers provided by pages:
    -laptopvideo2go.com
    -omegadrivers.net

    But in both cases, the use if these drivers are at your own risk since these drivers don t contain overheating protection!

  • Satellite A660 - touchpad is too sensitiv

    I have trouble to get use to the touchpad. Compared to my previous two laptops, this one seems both known and devoid of other hypersensitivity.

    He has not contributed to change the sensitivity, palm touch to monitor or virtual scrolling regions.

    I wonder if it's just me, or is the case they find others?

    Hello

    To be honest I m not the owner of the Satellite A660 but I have two other laptops and I could always change the sensitivity of the touchpad the touchpad settings.
    Begging my touchpad is still too sensitive; the cursor happened to fast and double click is too sensitive as well.

    I was able to change all of these settings in the touchpad settings and it helped a lot.

  • Satellite L300 - external screen works fine until the Windows login

    Hello world

    I am trying to use an external display with my Toshiba Satellite L300 and it works up until I have to Log in Windows (or in Ubuntu just had the same problem).

    At this point, the laptop does not seem to recognize the external display more and jump using the internal screen again.

    It might be relevant: I'm using dual boot Win XP and Ubuntu Hardy.
    The problem occurs in both systems.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Maybe the resolution is set too high?

    Try a lower resolution and an update of the BIOS.

  • Satellite A660-133 - Vibrations when I use the keyboard or a touchpad

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A660-133, when I use the keyboard or the touchpad I can hear a lot of vibration from the stop of the laptop. I think that this is not normal, but actually the same model showed in the shop does the same thing. What do you think about this?

    Is there anyone who has this model and who is able to tell me what is its experience in this respect?

    Thank you!

    Hi davmat,

    I m not Satellite A660 owner, but a friend told a. He never spoke to me such a problem expect that s a great notebook with powerful hardware and he likes the design. I agree with him that s a great notebook from Toshiba!

    Anyway, if you think that it of not normal, you need to contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys can check this problem and maybe you need a new keyboard, but this can be exchanged under warranty.

    You can find a list of aspic here:

    Good luck! :)

    There is no device dedicated to tosiba a660?

    I know Satellite A660 can't stand not a thin Bay select only some models like the M400 Portege, Portege M750, Tecra M9, Tecra S3 or S4 Tecra, Portege M700 support this feature

  • Re: Blank screen on Satellite A200-1 body weight after flashing the Bios

    I have a Satellite A200-1 of body weight, and I flashed my Bios when the laptop froze.
    So I had to restart now, the screen does not light.

    Any help on what to do?
    Do I need a new toshiba Bios Chip?

    I have a Satellite A210 - 16G and I decided to the new version of BIOS (2, 00-WIN32) flash. I downloaded the new version, the decompressed files two (setup.exe and alaa200a.rom), quit all running programs and disconnected from the internet and launch the setup.exe.

    After a program window apperared and it starts automatically check my bios version (strange thing - cooler system started working with maximum RPM) and after 5-10 seconds, this window became blink and at the top, there was a message 'no response '.

    I thought that it is ok and I expect about 15 minutes for a result...
    But I suck. I closed the window and tried to restart, but suddenly I got a white screen.

    I disabled a camputer in now the power button / stop.
    And after that I can depend on to it - I press the power button, then a power led lights and that's all, blinking screen, no response.

  • Satellite L650-11F - question about brightness of the display by using Win XP

    I apologize;
    I want to know is why in windows xp before you plug the adapter into the laptop (Toshiba L650-11F), screen light is bright, but when I drag the adapter, the display light is dark? And the driver is installed

    Please help me

    Hello

    Alternatively, you can change the brightness of the screen by using the FN + F6 and FN F7.
    But as mentioned by Akuma; You should check the power options.
    I guess that the Toshiba Power Saver is installed because you use Win XP.

    In the configuration of the Toshiba Power Saver, you can assign the screen brightness level to certain power profile. For example; You can define a profile of power when the laptop is connected to the power adapter or another profile of power for battery operation.

    Perhaps the brightness of the display is set to a lower level, while the laptop works on sector
    Then change this value, and I think that this will solve your problem.

  • Satellite A660 - 13p - can't turn ON the WiFi

    Hey,.

    I bought my laptop a few months ago, but I noticed the problem recently, when I tried to connect to internet wireless for the first time (until now I used connect the cable to the House).

    When I try to turn it on WE the Wi - Fi by pressing the function key (second near the button to turn on / off PC), it fades just 2 seconds then it shines again but nothing happens (nothing changes on indicators before or in the system). Note - I also noticed now that the other function buttons also do not work, exepct the Volume +/-.

    I've als tried to trun on combo of Fn + F8, but no matter how many times I press it - nothing changes. Note: all other Fn keys work.

    Then finally, I was looking for a way to activate it in the system, but I always get to the point when they ask to me "to activate THE wireless network, use before side switch your PC or if it's possible, function keys. And that's the exact message I get when I am trying to solve the problem through Windows. And when I go into the properties of the (Broadcom 802.11n) wireless card everything seems fine.

    So my question is - if the problem is in the buttons function sortware/material/settings? or it's something with the wireless card? or maybe something else?
    I have trieid to redefine the function with Toshiba Software keys help, but I don't understand how to do it-Description / Option / Patn / button name -?

    Thanks in advance for any help
    All the best,
    Jasiek

    Hmmmm... on my Satellite A660, everything works perfectly.

    What you can try is to remove Toshiba Value Package added the system and after install latest reboot laptop Toshiba support and download page > http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  • Satellite A660 how can I turn off the light on the power button?

    Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.

    However mind, lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
    In the Bios, I could disable the led lighting, but the on/off switch is always lighting, which distracts me when I'm working.
    This laptop has two power LED, so the lighting power is in my view, unnecessary.

    My question is: How can I turn off the light on the power button?

    Hello

    The power button led cannot be disabled.
    It s there if the laptop is turned on.
    The lighting in the BIOS option only controls the multimedia keys...
