• 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.

  Hi mate,

  The upgrade of Windows 8 Wizard is available only for supported laptops Windows 8 models.

  Your laptop does not seem to be earning 8 supported because it does not appear on this page from Toshiba:
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/JSP/checkWindows8Compatible.do?service=EU

  Plus I found a Toshiba AU on the driver Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3E UE page

  So download this message because you are using the wizard, which is not released from this unit.

  My Sat A660 1FH displays a message that says there is a cooling problem and I should pass away, but when I check the settings there is no problem. can anyone help please?

  Hi mikeswan,

  I have the Satellite A660 since October 2010 up to more than 4 months now and has never seen a such error message on my Satellite A660. Everything works fine, cooling system works normally and if not, no problem.

  Nothing comes from nothing, so I think that there really is a problem with your cooling system or high temperature.

  Your laptop should still be under warranty, because this new model of s. very good because I would contact the closest to what s service provider authorized as soon as possible before you get property damage due to a higher internal temperature. I think that professional people, make sure that there is no problem or get the correction of an error, please check your laptop. Maybe the fan needs to be replaced or else I put t really know.

  I can help you find an authorized service provider then follow this link:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > find an authorized service provider

  That s a list of all FSA with phone number and all the rest need you can get in touch with the guys.
  I think that it of the best idea and if there is a hardware problem, repair will cost nothing. :)

• Satellite A660 - Windows 7 startup problem

  Hi, I have I think the biggest problem I have ever had. I have the Toshiba Satellite A660. I have Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit (just to know.) Computer laptop freezed so I pressed to shutdown (stop) to close.

  Then I tried to start it but I saw only "starting Windows" for more than an hour... When I tried to use the repair disk I saw the Green loading bar only (such as loading windows XP) but nothing happened again. So I tried to use the installation disc, but I get a "windows start" and nothing happened, even with a USB tip.

  Could someone help me?
  Thanks for all the posts.

  I understand that your computer was working and running W7 64 bit.
  You can or you looked in the BIOS? I don't know what you can view/change but is the HDD displayed and if memory is reported?
  If you use the drive of W7 or reinstall to start the computer drive can you get to the screen install Windows and select "repair your computer". If you do not see this screen, you will need to make sure that the DVD or USB is the first boot device.

  Return to this stage for more ideas or google for something like "windows command prompt repair 7.

  Hello

  Have you noticed the same behavior with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium at Toshiba?

  I think it s a driver or software issue, so it would be interesting to know if everything worked with original settings or not.

  Have you installed most recent display of the official website of Toshiba driver?

• Satellite A660 - 13p (PSAW3E-01T00PPL) - Upper keys stopped working

  I installed Windows 7 64-bit with all the drivers. Everything worked fine, but recently stopped working the high keys (eco, WiFi, volume, backlight). Allows only a permutation of Windows. Why?

  I reinstalled value-added 1.3.4 package but is not nothing changed

  Sorry for my English =)))

  Hey,.

  I m not Satellite A660 owner but generally if you reinstall package of added value, the bright buttons should start working again. But the most important is that you remove the old version of VAP first, before installing the latest version. You must also run CCleaner after uninstalling to remove old registry keys.

  Last but not least also check the BIOS. In the BIOS Setup you can enable/disable these buttons and illumination.

• Satellite A660-1DW - screen graphic problem becomes faints

  Hi guys, this is the first time m write on any shape... !!

  Basically, I bought toshiba A660-1DW from argos 4 months after using it for 4 months VGA (display graphic problem becomes faints and a little colored lines appear on the screen)

  .. as I had the warranty for the laptop, I went to argos, told them the problem rather than send it back for repair they just have me service number customer toshiba...

  returned home rang Toshiba, they gave me a few REF a bit and asked me of the drop to the argos... the next day went to argos they accepted and send it to toshiba for repair... after 3 weeks they have me called yesterday picked up the phone after using the laptop for 5 minutes, same problem was there...

  then I took it back to argos they still accepted and send it for repair, but they also said if the problem 3rd time I'll have to take the same branch of argos from where I bought the laptop... .fondamentalement I bought in HOUNSLOW and I live in slough.

  the conclusion that I am crazy about her, here it is... TOSHIBA AND ARGOS these people got the WORST service you will ever find anywhere on the other hand,

  THESE PEOPLE ARE MUCH MORE BETTER THEN TOSHIBA because IF THE CUSTOMER IS NOT happy with the product they will replace or Exchange streight away...!

  Hello

  I had a problem with my laptop and the ASP has replaced everything for free because the guarantee was valid.
  The guys are really helpful and friendly, so I did a very good experience with the Toshiba service and notebooks of other manufacturers can also be defective

  Of course, there might be some difference between the different cases, but I can't say that the service is not ok

• Re: Satellite A660-1EK - FN keys problem

  Hello
  I don't know how I did that... but yesterday my mobile function buttons worked, but now I press fn + f6 or fn + f6, it must change in light of the screen, but there is nothing.
  There is not a problem with the fn key because when I press keys fn + 3 or by changing its fn + 4.

  How can I solve my problem?

  Since when is FN + F4 or FN + 3 for the sound?
  As far as I know it's for the standby and hibernation.

  Try also first roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. Make back two or three days.

• Satellite A660 - fan and temperature problem

  Probably after that Bios Update to 2.3 increased fan is efficient and temperatures grew deadly
  So please help!

  I can't work on my laptop and the children cannot play in games (even simpler)
  regards and sorry for my English

  I imagine that this behavior is the result of the update of the BIOS.
  Can you please tell us what was the reason for the update of the BIOS? Sorry to ask this, but I always say that there is no reason to change anything, if there is not a serious problem.
  What to do now?

  In general, you can't do much, but what you can try is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider, explain the situation and ask if there is a possibility for BIOS downgrade.
  I guess that they have access to the database of Toshiba and can get the older version of BIOS for you.

• Satellite A660 - message: WARNING: a problem with the cooling system

  My laptop recenly started giving the error "Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." Please turn off computer immediately and return it for service"- Yes the fan had stopped working and touchpad area was hot.

  So I take it on the type of service (toshiba) and must answer for fan, Mo, HARD drive, he said. Is this possible? -J' I have extended warranty, but is ' t it much? not to mention that it takes a month to get things down.

  He also mentioned that I could use the machine with a cooling pad until then if I wish.

  Any feed back?

  > Yes the fan had stopped working and touchpad area was hot.

  In this case, there is really a hardware problem.
  But I m wondering why he should replace the HARD drive and the motherboard
  Perhaps only the cooling module began at malfunction of course this is just a speculation
  If the technician has checked the material, then they need to know what parts are not OK.
  So don t think you have no choice.

  But the guarantee is valid for all is free

• Satellite A660 11 M monitor problem

  Hi guys

  I have a problem with my monitor, I work on the screen goes all black and he gets back with black tool bars to the bottom of the screen, then he'll be back the normal and the black disappears.

  What is the cause of this player or Vega problem? It is not all the time but sometimes...

  Thanks for your concern.

  Hello

  It could be related to the graphics driver, but also to the graphics chip.
  You can check if a new update driver graphic card or the new facility could help solve this problem.
  New installation of operating system could also allows to check if its driver or software related issue...

• Satellite A660-1FH fails to back off with Win7 64-bit

  Hi, a friend of mine asked me to watch his Satellite A660-1FH (PSAW3E). It is currently running windows 7 64 bit. There initially could not activate so I said I'd take a peek.

  It just would not start the power on, it would go beyond the initial screen then cursor would appear at the top on the left and flash a couple of times and freeze. I started and you press f2 to view the bios and the HARD drive was top of the list so I pressed f10 and saved and started. starts fine then he thought may have been an accident that has caused and continues in windows and update for him.
  then rebooted and froze! It seems when the restart is selected, it does not restart, everything freezes.

  I tried to use hirens resumed but it cannot see the HARD drive when it is started! weird. I got in the car and he ghosts for safety.

  Earlier I installed 8 company windows x 64, and it presents the same question. the drive works fine in other pc so you need another piece of equipment. I had already updated the BIOS under win7 and checked all drivers.

  I just got a strange win8 startup message saying that a boot or partition file was missing and could not start but him repressing the power button, it starts well.

  It does not always restart under a clean install of win8. I came here because I found a post with the same or similar issue. Any suggestions? Thanks Mark

  > it just would not start the power on, it would go beyond the initial screen then cursor appears at the top on the left and flash a couple of times and freeze

  The blinking cursor appears in the upper left corner indicates a malfunction or memory from HDD. I think you should check both sides.

  You said that the drive works fine in another PC. Do you hear the HARD drive?
  If so, then the HARD drive is OK and the RAM is probably the troublemaker.
