• 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.

• Satellite A660 - 11 M WLan cannot be used after the installation of vmware 3.1.1

  I have a problem with my new laptop Satellite A660 - 11M.

  When I use some VM install VmWare Player 3.1.1 the wireless doesn't work anymore.
  When I push the button to activate the wireless, the led does not illuminate and the FN + F8 key said that the wireless is not enabled.

  I tried to uninstall VMPlayer, but the rest of the problem.
  I also tried to reinstall the Wlan driver.

  Only if I ask a recovery point before the installation of vmWare are all ok.
  You have an idea about the problem?

  Thank you

  I know that this question. the VM (virtual machine) is NOT compatible with the Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility.
  The virtual machine affect the functionality of the FN buttons.
  Therefore, delete this system in order to use the FN keys.

• 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 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?

• Re: Satellite A660 - media buttons do not work

  First of all I apologize if my language is not good, because I'm Spanish.

  I have a * Toshiba Satellite A660-13D * and this model has a button touch media at the top, next to the keyboard. Here is a picture with the buttons marked in red: [http://forums.toshiba.com/tshb/attachments/tshb/brd_input/10621/1/Toshiba-Satellite-A660-Multimedia-Notebook.jpg]
  Two days ago the buttons works well. There are a few buttons, one for an ecological mode, one to turn wireless on or off, one for play/pause Media Player, etc.. These buttons work only those who turn up and down volume. The button that activates / deactivates the Mouse-touchpad does not work too.

  I'm looking for solutions, and one of them suggests the BIOS update. I tried to update my BIOS with the downloadable files of the Toshiba website for my model of PC, but when I run the executable, it always crashes with this message: Winflash for UEFI has stopped working. I read on someone with the same problem as me and someone replied that he should try executing the BIOS via a .iso file burned into a CD-Rom and boot from it. But, where I could get this .iso file? If I enter on the Toshiba site in English and go to the download section, I can't find my model Satellite, so I can not get the appropriate files. Is my Toshiba Satellite A660 13d, and I find only A660-ST2GX1, A660-BT2G22, A660-BT3N25X and similar products.

  I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this. Thank you.

  You have mobile EMEA model then all the drivers, tools and utilities that you can download from http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Try please reinstall extra package from Toshiba.

• Satellite A660 (PSAW3E) - FN keys not working not

  Hello
  I reinstalled my windows 7 64 bit on my laptop Satellite A660 and downloaded most, if not all the drivers on the official site of Toshiba UK.

  Although I do not use the FN keys, keep it bugs me knowing that they do not work.

  So... when I press the fn and none of my keys f1 - f9, they do not do anything, no card flash or anything like that.

  But the touch buttons to the upper work (the eco (I think), wireless, media, pause/start, light, decrease volume and increase volume) when I press them they sound and everything, but no flash cards is (not sure but I think that there is no flash cards for those) However when I press the power button on top of the mouse everything works including the flash ECAD

  The normal keys F1 - F12 function

  Tried to uninstall the pack of value-added and install again (after rebooting my laptop)
  Tried to restart flash cards too
  None of the above worked.

  Sorry for my English, not my language to the House :)

  Thanks for reading,

• Satellite A660 - 11 M: does not start with 8 GB of RAM, but works with 6 GB

  Satellite A660 - 11 M:

  I upgraded my RAM to 4 GB (2x2gb) up to 8 GB (2x4gb). When I start the computer I can see in the BIOS it reads 8 GB of RAM. However, when starting, it does not go beyond the white screen BACK (just before Windows starts).

  If I delete one of the 4 GB & replace it with a 2 GB (so I have 6 GB total) it starts ok.

  Anyone know how I can get it to work with 8 GB of RAM?

  Hey,.

  To be honest, I've never heard of RAM SanMax modules...
  In my opinion the problem is related to your RAM modules is not compatible to your laptop or defective.

  You can test it with high-quality Kingston or prétestées authorized service modules?

• Satellite A660 - DVD player does not recognize some DVD

  I have a new Satellite A660-17th with a drive HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N, running under Windows 7 64-bit.

  The reader will read most DVDs. Commercial DVD (region 2) are very good. However, there are problems with the DVD recorded with DVD recorders. Recordings of DVD + R using a Philips machine work very well. DVD + R and DVD - R using a Sony HDX 1095 of RDR machine do not work.

  I hope that the disc is ok and that this problem can be solved by changing some settings or other?
  Any ideas?

  Hey,.

  If commercial DVDs are working properly, it s final related to your own created DVD recorder of DVD.
  It s knows not to adjust something on the DVD player without region code

  In my opinion, you should test different brands of DVD to check which is compatible with all devices.
  My favorite is Verbatim DVD - R TDK also makes good discs

• Re: Satellite A660 - keyboard backlight does not

  I have an A660, and the backlight on the keyboard has stopped working. I'm plugged, the 'performance', the backlight power setting was 20 minutes ago (before I put the computer in hibernation to wear down) and now no backlight. FN Z allows you to regain control of the back-light UI, which displays "backlight on» I have to scroll, turn off the power. Turn it back on. Still no light.

  Levant keyboard in Control Panel control shows that everything works correctly.

  Any ideas? Frustrated

  PS: the power button is turned on, the 'Satellite' logo is on and the light for the trackpad lights up when turned on.

  Hey,.

  Have you recently installed an update to the driver or software? If so I recommend to remove this update and test it again.
  No doubt the restoration of the system to an earlier point could help get rid you of this update.

  Also I would try to reinstall the package of added value. This tool can be downloaded from the official website of Toshiba. It control special features like lighting enabled, etc.

• Satellite A660 - 11M - I can not use wireless - seems to be swiched off

  The free thread is disabled and he let me turn on the switch wireless, but when I pressed the key that in front of the keyboard, easycontrol bar and just have no reaction and wireless light does not work on.
  I wonder is there is another key to turn it on? or should I download the driver of the easycontrol bar?
  And where can I find it?

  Thanks for help

  Hello

  The WiFi network can be switched on and off using the FN + F8 key combination.
  Have you tried that?

  Also update the WLan driver. Can be useful too.
  If the FN buttons would not work, you must reinstall the VAP (value added package) and Flash memory card Support utility.

  Good luck

• Satellite A660 - TV tuner does not

  Only, I bought my new laptop about a month ago. While not a required feature, the seller was sure to point out that she had a TV tuner and could record digital TV. I got it working fantastically via Windows Media Center... for about a week. Now, he just tells my my TV tuner is not found or is not available. Library reconfiguration does not work as it does not acknowledge the tuner.

  Any ideas?

  Can you please check the Device Manager to see if there is some unknown device? Also check entry TV tuner.
  Tuner TV installed and registered correctly?

  I found a few solutions to this problem ([solution | http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=page&id=7&chapter=0]), but none of them are dedicated to 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: Need drivers XP for Satellite A660/07u

  Hello

  I just bought this laptop Satellite A660-07u but do not keep it under windows 7.

  I checked the Web site of toshiba, but there is no driver is listed for Windows xp.
  Anyone do or know where I can find them thank you Paul

  Hi mate

  I guess that's the Australian series for Toshiba laptop.
  Satellite A660/07U seems to be belongs to the series of PSAW3A-07U00R.
  Here is a download page:
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/download

  But there is no Win XP drivers listed for this series.
  So I guess you will need to search for and collect the drivers of your own hands.
  Check this doc Toshiba how to find drivers for unknown devices:
