Satellite A660 - beep sound stuttering during the use of Player multimedia CD player

I have a boring beep and stuttering (music is delayed momentarily every few seconds, type electronic interference noise) when using the media player or CD player. I took the laptop for a repair under warranty where they replaced the motherboard without success, they then informed me that they believed that it was a software problem, and a reinstall of Windows 7 was necessary if I've done the following with the recovery disks that I created in that order, results in parentheses;

-restore the factory software (no change still beeps and stutters)
-formatted the HD (initially, I thought that solved the problem but after beginning dload and install about 80 Windows updates the question came back)
-formatted the HD once again (once more I thought that the problem has been resolved, but I heard the beep/stuttering only once or twice)

Given this HD format takes 26 hours, I will not begin to dload/install updates including Windows 7 until I can try something else or have an answer.

If anyone can shed some light on this issue, the noise is terrible review it was purchased as a unit of entertainment media playback.

Thanks for any help in advance here.

Where the beep from exactly? Speakers or elsewhere?

  • Satellite A660 - 12 fall down during the update of the BIOS, start again

    Hi all

    I bought my laptop A660-12th in June 2010, and a few months I've been encountering frequent problems of freezing of the screens, stops unsollicitated... so I decided to clean up my computer and update programs the computer base (including the BIOS) with the latest versions available on the Toshiba site, hoping it would be more correctly.

    Then, when it came to upgrading the BIOS. I wanted to do it slowly because I know this is the most delicate point in the update, but I don't know what is happening during this step: program launched barely (and it was the only program running) that it has been already updated my BIOS, and in this special moment my laptop automatically go restarted... obviously I don't have BIOS more because my computer does not start still, the screen does not display anything AT ALL. There is just the noise of the fan and the lights when I turn it on, but that's all.

    I am so very angry to the Toshiba BIOS update program (and also Toshiba), because I feel that I have everything done correctly, but nevertheless this update bricked just my computer.

    Is it possible to get it back, or do you also think it bricked and lost?

    I'm afraid BIOS is dead now and what you need now is a professional help from m.
    I highly recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider, explain the situation and ask for help.

  • Using headphones on the Satellite A660-BT2G22-sound reads from speakers

    There must be a way for me to make the game sound only through the headphones and I'd really like that because I'm going to College and will have a roommate and I want to listen to my own music and other things and not force him to hear my stuff all the time.

  • Satellite A660 - beep when the CPU is not loaded

    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?

    Hey Buddy,

    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.

    What version of BIOS you have installed? My A660 shipped with BIOS version more recent 1.80 - WIN and Windows 7 64-bit.

  • Satellite A660 - 1 HL-problems with the graphics card

    Hello!

    This is my first thread so I apologize if I am doing something wrong and for my bad English. :)

    Just bought a Toshiba Satellite A660 - 1 hl with two adapters, integrated and a GeForce GT 330 M. The integrated works well, but when I go to the dedicated I encounter problems. The non-adjustable resolution in optimal mode and windows in the operating system (windows 7) delays when moving. I can't get info on the map in all kinds of temperature programs or dxdiag and such others.

    I tried to install the drivers from nvidia, Toshiba and windows update with no improvement. I can't run Windows expreince index because I get an error message or of any average games do I encounter error messages there as well. I begin to doubt that the drivers installed even.

    I hope you guys can help out me :)

    It comes to getting the error messages:

    You should test the RAM (memory) for problems using the Test of memory of Microsoft or the www.memtest.org (bootable CD).

    To confirm that this is a hardware problem, you must save your documents and run recovery.

    If the problem still occur on a new image, then the laptop should go to an ASP (Toshiba Service Center) for repairs (possibly a motherboard replacement).

  • Satellite A660 - Webcam does not work when using Skype

    I recently bought a Satellite A660-15J. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

    I have the latest version of Skype (5.3.0.111).

    The integrated Webcam does not work when you run Skype. If I run the Toshiba Web Camera Application the webcam works fine. However, when I test it in Skype, I get a message saying "cannot start video. Try quitting other programs that use the webcam '.

    However, as far as I can tell there no other programs available. I have tried Skype with the Web Camera Application clised & open. I also confirmed that I do run the latest version of the program.

    One of the main reasons we have this laptop is to use Skype video... Help, please.

    Disable webcam application start-up and exit this application before you start Skype.

    I used Skype many different models of laptops, including friends A660 and it worked correctly.

    When you open Skype video settings is listed as default camera USB webcam?

  • Satellite A660 - Bluetooth problem - disappeared from the bar of the State etc.

    Dear all,

    frustrated newbie.

    Bluetooth has disappeared from the system on my Satellite A660 tray and I can't work out how to get it back.
    It worked a few months ago, but since I don't use it everyday,
    I did not notice when he disappeared.

    I tried the fsquirt.exe thing, but the icon opens a window that does nothing (it seems to me that bluetooth is off but I can't find where to turn it on and Fn + F8 does not work).

    I have downloaded the driver atheros, which is extracted to a temporary folder and then does nothing.
    I think I need to uninstall - reinstall but do not know how to proceed.

    Any ideas appreciated.

    arghh

    Arfur

    All this is a bit complicated on your laptop. I assume that stick Toshiba BT (BT software) is always pre-installed on your machine. Can you please check?

    Using the FN key combination you can toggle WIFI and BT. When you say that it does not work how to understand this? Can you turn on WLAN on/off? BT option IS missing? You can use the WLAN button placed between the keyboard and display (function keys)?

    Please check such fundamental things in first and post more details. Later we continue to discuss reinstalling drivers.

  • Satellite A660-1FM - maximum resolution of the display of the external monitor

    Hi all

    Maybe it is (probably) an easy question to answer, but I have a Satellite A660-1FM and want to use it with my external screen Samsung Syncmaster (forgot model). I got a HDMI-> DVI - D adapter and everything is going well, but here's my question:

    The page of specifications of toshiba for my laptop (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A660-1FM/1096013/toshibaShop/false/) shows a capacity of external resolution of:
    Maximum resolution: 2 048 x 1 536
    Max refresh rate: 100 Hz
    Resolution No interlaced with the maximum refresh rate: 1920 x 1 200

    But I get what I call resolution HDMI standard (no wonder, I guess) when connected HDMI-> DVI - D to my external monitor. I have already run this monitor on my desk at highest resolution of 1080 p, so the monitor is capable.
    Wondering what I'm missing here, or is that a matter of graphics card specification is more than possible to the output of the laptop?

    Thanks for any help
    Andy

    Hi Khaled,

    What is the native screen resolution of your external display?
    Can you connect your laptop and monitor with HDMI cable only why you need an adapter?

    To be honest I don't understand your question. If you already have the Full HD screen resolution why do you need more?

  • Satellite P875-102 - sound freezes when the CPU is busy

    Hi guys,.

    I just bought a Satellite P875-102 with Windows Home Premium and all software by default, and card and I have a very annoying problem with the sound. Whenever the processor takes a little more time to process information (i.e. a website load) sound freezes for a second and then comes back.

    It happens with all my music software and regardless of local or streaming music. Is there a way can I fix? It gets really, really boring and it is a laptop which should do much better than the one with multimedia...

    Any help would be welcome. Thank you!

    Hello

    When I read something like that I would like to have mobile phone in front of me and see exactly what is happening. New portable computers are preinstalled with Toshiba recovery image and they contain about additional software running in the background.

    Windows Update set to automatic when you buy new laptop and connect it to the internet, I think first of all days notebooks are very busy with the update of various facilities and all this happens in the background.

    Updates collection pre-installed antivirus, scan disk and all these activities slow down s for laptop performance. Result can be these thresholds when you listen to music or watch movies.

    What to do with the new notebook is the optimization of the OS. With other words, I dsable Autostart for many applications that I n t need, remove preinstalled antivirus and install Avira antivir, disable updating automatic Windows and, at least, remove some stuff preinstalled system.

    After this start is much more fast and portable ready for use. I can't say for sure, but I think you should do the same thing and check if this problem occurs again and again.

  • Satellite L500-1ZR - battery died during the first installation

    Hello

    I really hope someone can help me.

    During the first time I started my new Toshiba Satellite L500-1ZR battery died and my laptop turns off. I was in the middle of the installation and now when I start it, it gives a word of warning: "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install Windows, click OK to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. "However, when I click OK it restarts and I find myself the exact same caveat. I tried F2 and F12 to see if he had options to do a startup repair and also I inserted a disc on which I downloaded a hardware configuration, but it won't work.

    Anyone got some ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi belisu,

    The advanced boot menu, you can access via the F8 key before Windows starts.
    With the F2 and F12 button, you can access the BIOS menu and start.

    So try to use the F8 key to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and try to start the Windows repair option. It starts from Toshiba HARD drive recovery and restore settings factory.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite A660 - 11 M - vents on the body

    Hi all!

    Last week, I started to play ARMA 2 on my SATELLITE A660 - 11M and after 20 minutes of play, it of hot and automatically closed. I read a lot of topics in the forum and decide to clean the cooler with compressed air can. Suddenly ive noticed this laptop isn't under the reoxygenation of body orifices, exactly where where is the cooler fan. To describe this more correctly, I can say that on the side rear of the body of the laptop there is circle from vents but this grid is absolutely fully molded.
    I think it comes to Foundry defects.

    Anyone has the same problem? How can I do a breakdown of the holes?

    Hey,.

    If you mean the holes to vent on the bottom of your computer, I can say it s normal Satellite A660 doesn t have a. Friend of me has the same laptop as you and its a doesn t have holes to.
    So everything is ok with your laptop!

    It would interesting to know, if you have installed another nVidia display driver directly. These drivers have another thermal management and can cause problems.

    I recommend you to install the latest Toshiba display driver which is pretested.

  • Satellite A660 - won't backup as the corrupt C: drive

    Satellite A660

    My laptop is a month and I've tried and tried to save, but it fails every time with the following message. What I need to bring to a repairer or is there something I can do to put it right.
    Windows skipped C:\Users\UpdatusUser\Documents backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hey,.

    Correctly the HARD disk (drive c :)) has bad sectors and therefore a backup can t be polite.)
    Have you also tried other software like Acronis image backup?

    You should try to run chkdsk in DOS box. Maybe it can recognize and fix a bad sector.

    In the worst cases, your HARD drive needs to be replaced, but A660 is fairly new laptop to an authorized service provider can do it for free.
