• Satellite A660 - display seems to come out of the 'calibration '.

  I often hibernate instead of shut down or restart, even if I go to and from an administrator account to update Windows 7, Firefox and antimalware. I find that the screen tends to get all washed out, as if someone bent to the high brightness and reduces the contrast. It is not quite the same thing as the real Visual problem resembles a panel painted which is being altered, as white dither. It disappears after a reboot.

  Y at - it something of graphics can I reset manually rather than through a full reboot?

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. The same happens when you use the sleep mode?
  Using original pre-installed BONES that you got with your laptop or maybe clean version of the OS?

• Satellite A660-1DW or Satellite A660-17?

  I ordered an A660-17F of Argos and when it arrived it is an A660 1DW.

  is anyone know can tell the difference of these machines? a 1DW A660 replaced A660-17 or is it a mistake by argos?

  are there features that I usually have if I keep the A660 1DW.

  I will mostly use the computer for internet surfing, football streaming and burn movies on the disc.

  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  See you soon

  To be honest for this basic trick, both models are more than enough.
  Compare the specifications of laptop there is no much difference.

  I can see by Satellite A660-1DW has a processor more powerful if you obtained for the same price it is OK.
  I put t know if it's some sort of error or no, but you perfect portable ACE. Keep it.

  Don t forget to create DVDs from recovery use preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator.

  I don't think it's a general or common problem. I have the Satellite P500 with the NVIDIA card inside. Pre-installed driver is Toshiba 8.16.11.8829 driver version, and I have never notice one problem with display or graphics in general.

  I watch blu - ray movies, very often HD trailers on YouTube, play games (for the time Medal of honor, Black Ops) and everything works perfectly.

  What NVIDIA card is in your laptop and what display driver is installed?

• Satellite A660 crashes during games and recovery

  I have problem with my Toshiba Satellite A660. Sometimes when I play it freezes and I can't even move the pointer that all freeze them then I have to stop with force.
  Once it freezes during a restore and that what do me worried about would be a secondary problem (amount of money).
  I tried to take it to one that he calls himself a Toshiba service company and they told me that the problem is solved, but he didn't.

  So I hope that everything would be help me I m in a bad situation here.

  Hello

  I understand your situation but to be honest, I put t know how to help you.
  I put t know what that solved the service and what they did with your laptop, but what you can do is to install the OS by using the recovery image (on DVD or HARD drive) and to monitor closely what will happen in the future.

  While gaming, don't forget your laptop is placed on the desk and the cooling fans should not be stuck with a few Pater, books or anything else. before you start the game go portable high performance power plan and check that cooling in this plan of the power method is set to the maximum level.

• Satellite A660 - no more sound through HDMI

  My laptop is a Satellite A660 with Nvidia GeForce 330 M.
  I frequently watch movies on my Philips Flat TV using a HDMI cable and the software VLC.
  I had a past short, both sound and image at the top of the HD quality.

  For a few weeks, I lost all sound and image only.
  I have something special, all my drivers are the latest possible, and TV is well recognized in the acoustic Panel.

  Could you help me?
  Thanks for your help.

  When you want to watch movies on the TV check please sound properties > playback devices and do not forget the HDMI is enabled (green circle with a check mark).

  You hear the sound on the TV when the HDMI output is activated?

• Official Satellite A660 cant get and iTunes-64 updates moved

  Hello

  I've had my laptop for about 3 weeks now and have a few problems that maybe someone here can help with :)
  It's a Toshiba Satellite A660 Windows 7 64 bit, with all the options of support authorized toshiba - tempro, health bulletin board etc.

  Problem 1:
  The chips toshiba Board asked me to update a load of stuff - Bios, display drivers, wireless drivers etc.
  The only update (seems... it did not freeze at least) worked was the update of the broadcom wireless driver.
  So, for the update of the display, I download the file, unzip it and nothing is passes - I have tried to run the tinstallwb.exe.
  I am asked if I want the program to change the hard drive, I say Yes... and that's the last I've heard of it... tried for hours to make it work, but I look at a desktop computer without activity. In the folder to archive, if I try and run the setup.exe (the nvidia part) it says that no valid nvidia hardware has been detected.

  Problem 2:
  I tried the bios update, Bulletin Board asked me to install... it didn't, didn't want to install.

  Problem 3:
  I spend most of the time the laptop turned off, because it freezes on the screen of closing...

  Problem 4:
  Prob not a toshiba problem - but I can not install Quicktime or iTunes... the installer just freezes (it goes in not responing well) - I left runningn elaptop th for about 4 hours yesterday, trying to install itunes 64-bit until I had to kill the task (and turn it off, like shutdown does not work)

  Any ideas, I've given up trying to update the updates that the toshiba Council services told me to put up-to-date?
  I tried the update obvious everything I can, but the toshiba updates do not update :(
  Other software: MS Office and Outlook, firefox.

  Thanks for any help,

  Andy

  Hello

  (1) you can download all the drivers directly from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
  If you really need an update, then you must download the file, should save on the HARD drive should unzip the package and must be run setup.exe or should update the driver from Device Manager.

  (2) this is a HowTo doc on update of the BIOS:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=60
  If this is not possible, then your Windows operating system might be confused to the top and maybe you should get the phone before performing a BIOS update.

  (3) as suggested above; all these questions could be linked to the damaged operating system and maybe you need to reinstall the operating system to make it work again.

  (4) see point 3

• Satellite A660-07 s keeps freezing when streaming videos

  I bought a new laptop from Toshiba Satellite A660-07 s recently, since he started to freeze when I use video applications, such as Skype or Youtube, etc... Frost occurs randomly, and the only way out is long by pressing the switch (hunting). I returned the laptop several times for Toshiba certified technician and we almost completely reinstall software and operating system, replace the motherboard, graphics card, memory etc. and the problem is always the case. The laptop is great and does the job very well except for this random gel that is very annoying and there is no way to explain why it is happening.

  I think maybe there is a flaw in the design of the system and components do not work together very well. I also read on a few other issues with laptops satellite which freezes. I use another laptop, and I am a computer scientist. Never had this problem before and can not explain why this laptop freezes in particular. Can anyone shed light on what could be the problem to the technician and users may be able to solve this problem.
  As I said, we have tried all what you would do to eliminate the problem and nothing has worked so far.

  Thanks in advance for your responses and suggestions.

  Hey,.

  I m wondering really that your computer laptop doesn t work properly with video applications. Friend of me has the same laptop and it often use video applications like Skype, Youtube, etc. Also, he'd watch DVD and blu - ray but no problems at all.
  It uses the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba and everything is ok.

  In your case I would ask again authorized service provider what they can do for you. I mean if many parts have been replaced already there must be a solution to your problem and if it of a hardware related problem, you can do anything and you need professional help.

  Perhaps the ASP can get in touch with Toshiba directly or else just talk a bit with them, I m sure that the problem could be solved.

  Sorry that I can't say more, but the A660 from my friend is the perfect job.

• Satellite A660 - 11 m - video DVD playback is quite grainy

  Hello.
  Not so long ago, I bought this Satellite A660 - 11 m and I am extreemly happy with it. Graphics capabilities are perfect for my games.
  One thing however, I noticed that the video playback is very grainy, especially with the DVD. I tried to use the best software like Cyberlink Power DVD DVD playback.
  Is it possible that I can improve the clarity of the video and remove the adhering and afterimage?

  Any help would be greatly apreciated.

  You tested it with the original or some cottages created DVD?
  Maybe you checked the first Blu - ray movies and later when you use DVD quality is not very good. ;)

• Satellite A660: After upgrade to Win 8.1 BSOD is displayed using the keyboard

  Dynabook i7 3D laptop A660.

  OK; so I updated my i7 3D Dynabook to form 8.1 Windows (x 64) Windows 7 (x 64), and now the laptop restarts everytime I start to touch the keyboard.

  Other wise works perfectly.

  It took me two hundred hours to understand that I was typing on web sites usually when this re-boot occurs. And I could not remember how or why the computer restarted.

  When I press the numeric keypad 'more' sign, I get the BSoD immediately. But there are a few presses of the numbers on the keyboard so he can do the same thing.

  I.E.
  If I press 1, 2, 3, its ok.
  But
  If I press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, the laptop gets a BSoD and restarts.

  I also installed automatic software (mouse) for a Microsoft mouse, that I was going to use. and I deleted in the "System Properties" after the problem has arisen; but there is no change.

  Whenever I tap on the number pad (especially the plus sign), the PS stops with a blue screen of death BSoD.

  Any ideas?

  Hi Roger,
  My knowledge the 8.1 Windows isn't supported by Satellite A660 because there is no driver Windows 8.1 special to this series of portable, but even if these drivers have not been released, is not a big problem to install and run the Windows 8.1 on this unit.

  I m wondering how you installed the 8.1 to win on this laptop?
  You upgrade Windows 7 to 8.1 Win or were you running a fresh install of Win 8.1?

  Here's a nice page of Microsoft providing some FAQ about update for Windows 8.1
  [Windows 8.1 update: FAQ | http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8]

  In case you have done an UPGRADE to 8.1 Win, you can use Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to check if your programs and devices are compatible with Windows 8.1.

  I would be also interesting to know if the same BSOD would appear if external keyboard would be connected to the laptop.
  When using the external keyboard would cause NOT of BSOD, I guess internal keyboard is faulty and could be the troublemaker.

• On my Satellite A660 TV tuner does not work

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A660-07 one a few months ago and then reinstalled Windows 7 32-bit system in order to have more than a few partitions. But I had not deleted the hidden partition the system just in case I need to restore factory settings.

  Now I have moved to a remote area and need a TV but only to discover that the tuner did not work. It is detected correctly under sound devices and games in the Device Manager. However, when I use windows media center to scan channels. The WMC just says the software has encountered a serious error and try again.

  Then I tried to use Blaze DTV, which is also a very popular DTV software. Successfully, it recognizes the Tuner but will not scan either.

  I did some research and used the advocatus of configuration of the tuner TV in Windows 7. The warning message is that "the tuner is not properly configured to be used in Windows Media Center". And the details show that the tuner is plugged but not active for the WMC.

  But how do I then activate the tuner for WMC?

  Really hope that someone can help as I am now panic in a small town remote in New Testament.

  Thank you!

  > I bought a Toshiba Satellite A660-07 one a few months ago and then reinstalled Windows 7 32-bit system in order to have more than a few partitions. But I had not deleted the hidden partition the system just in case I need to restore factory settings.
  I see a big problem here. If you have installed your own version of Windows then you will not be able to start the installation of image factory more.
  Due to this fact Toshiba strongly recommends the creation of recovery DVDs. It is described in s operating manuals.

  In any case, one question at first: you've found the right 32-bit driver TV tuner? TV tuner is installed correctly?

  As far as I know this software is part of the original image recovery and cannot be downloaded separately. Toshiba offers updates only.
  > The rep of Toshiba (Mafil) in Israel has changed my hard drive but did not 'recovery '...
  I m not 100% sure, but I think that they are not obliged to install the recovery image. Why? The recovery media (DVD) must be created by the owner of the laptop and used for recovery image installation if something goes wrong with the HARD drive.

  + Important INFORMATION +.

  + Your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do so directly from the hard disk (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

• Satellite A660-12E - freezes with graphical objects

  Hello

  Here's my problem:

  I bought a Satellite A660-12th. Was obtained last Saturday, transported with great caution.

  The problem is that when I use a program dependent CG as a game, the games freezes quickly, even in the menus, with the screen objects, symptom of failure of CG (that happened in the menus of TF2, alien swarm and all playing Plain SIght). When Windows (with aero and transparency), goes on the internet, watching movies, everything is ok. No problem when using 3DSmax and Mudbox, but does not check since the last time the problem happened.
  In addition, the problem does not occur the first time that I start a game. After a long series of the computer (I use a cooling station and check the temperature: never more than 55 ° c) to download a game on steam, for example.

  I tried to install my own version of windows 7 (64 bit professional), updated the cg driver, installed a selection of programs from ninite.com, but the problem is back.

  Since then, I am a student with low resources and worked all summer to get a laptop, I am a little upset. :/
  Anyone has a solution, or should I contact the customer as soon as possible?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Can you explain what CG and CG pilot mean, please?

  I can only tell you that it is important to use the original display driver Toshiba place drivers nVidia because they are pre-tested and overheating protection. So be sure that Toshiba display the most recent driver is installed.

• 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.
