• Satellite A660 crashes

  My Tosh Satellite A660 - 11 M PSAW3E (Windows 7 Ultimate) was working fine until I installed the MS security updates March 2012, which included the updated for Microsoft Office Pro 2007. After installation, he immediately started crash shortly after starting upwards and the Action Center kept saying that he did not have a new power driver.

  I used the system restore to restore to the rear for just before the updates and which seem to help - the Action Center, said he has no problems - and the system seems to be OK. Some of MS Mar 2012 resettled and returned crash problem updates.

  I used the system restore again to return to the State of pre update. However, despite his return to the State to update pre and manually uninstall the Office 2007 Pro update, my A660 continues to suddenly crash at intervals frequent, but different - sometimes, it's OK for an hour or 2 and other times it crashes within minutes of boot upward.

  Ideas and help would be very welcome because I am pulling my hair over this.

  Hello

  Have you tried the HARD drive recovery process or have you tried to restore the system using the recovery disk?
  Do this!
  I can't believe that you can not use some MS updates because of this problem

  Retrieve the computer laptop back to factory settings and check how would go to the laptop.

• Satellite A660 - 11 M - drive HARD recovery is not possible

  Hello.

  I bought the satellite A660 - 11 M two months ago. A week before, he started to cause a problem that when turned on, boot HARD drive is not possible in the first place and boot priority option page is shown. Only after that I have reset a start command, it started.

  To resolve this issue for good, I decided to format the HARD drive using the HDD recovery procedure. Unfortunately, I had to cancel this procedure after 2 minutes, and the start-up is not possible at all since then. He continues to display the message "Boot failure" etc. and staging to the BIOS screen. So, I can not access the recovery procedure even if I keep the F8 key. I am afraid that a recovery on the HARD drive partition can have been damaged due to the forced cancellation.

  I have not created a DVD of my own laptop recovery, and the only option seems to buy one from Toshiba (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx). Before you order a recovery disc, I would ask if my problem can be solved using the disc. Anyone who has experience with the recovery disc could advise me? Another question is to know if a standard warranty let me send to Toshiba ASP? Thank you for reading.

  Hello

  > Another question is to know if a standard warranty let me send to Toshiba ASP?
  Warranty only covers hardware issues.

  Question you seems to be related to a software problem.
  Therefore, I doubt that installation of the OS would be covered by the warranty.
  You should order the recovery disk and must attempt to define the notebook back to factory settings.
  Then you should check the features of the laptop.

  Good luck

• Satellite A660 frozen during Initial start-up

  Hi all, bought just a new Satellite A660. I connected to power and turned on to go through the quick installation guide where it says that it would take up to 2 hours. Seeed all fine questions that came. After about 30 minutes, the display shows the office and just sitting there. I've gone for a few minutes and came back to a blank screen. The little blue directed energy was on and battery flashing led (I guess that cherging) and the PC on conduit has been slowly flashes. Not wanting to touch the laptop because of the 'up to 2.5 hours' for the initial commissioning declaration on the quick installation guide - I left during this period, at the end + over the period of 2.5 hours, the laptop just sitting there not doing nothing as shown above.

  I did something wrong - I have no idea?

  Help.

  You can start your laptop now?
  What happens when you press the button walk / stop?

• Satellite A660 - custom install from the recovery disk

  I like my windows costs. I do not have programs that I don't really need. I tried to uninstall some of them, but they always leave unexpected pieces behind them. So is there a way to stop the factory reset on A660 before installing drivers and other software. So I can install the readers updated and the programs I want to.

  I noticed that I can leave the program that installs Windows regarding the Office when using ctrl-alt-delete. Thing is that it will start again once the computer restarts then I have to remove this program from loading at the beginning upward. Can anyone share ideas?

  I would be really nice if Toshiba allows us to decide what kind of programs that we have in our computer.

  Satellite A660 97u model. Windows 7.

  Hey,.

  I put t think its bloatware. It s tools can you FN keys, webcam, etc. Laptop with a lot of material requires a lot of drivers and software. In addition, you also get a large number of tools that makes computing easier, like Toshiba Bulletin Board software, burning, etc.
  If you remove it n don't like this software, but it s kind of Toshiba to deliver these software with laptops.

  But to answer your question: custom installation is not possible because the recovery disk contains a ready image of factory settings, no single file.
  This is why you must use a Microsoft disc.

• Satellite U - crashes during windows startup and restore cannot fix

  Most of the time, but not whenever the laptop hangs when starting windows.
  I get a blue screen, a dump file is created and then it restarts and gives me the ability to start windows normally or by using windows recovery. The windows recovery can not solve the problem.

  When I select the option to open windows normally everything works fine without any problems.

  If I restart the laptop, it will never block.
  The problem happens about 90% of the time when he walks.

  The problem started shortly after the purchase of the laptop in October.
  Initially, it came with Windows Vista and I was wondering if the problem was with Vista so steeple I've upgraded to Windows 7, but it always freezes on most start-ups. Otherwise, the laptop works very well and I'm happy with it.

  I suspect that the problem might be with Realtek, but pilots seem to be up to date. My internet security is trend micro.

  I was wondering if it might be a hardware problem, when this happens on Vista and windows 7.

  Someone has any ideas on what could be causing the laptop to crash at startup?

  Hello

  To be honest, if this problem occurs on the version of Vista and Windows 7 too that sounds like a hardware problem and it s time for an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop fix it. It of fairly new, so I guess that it s still under warranty and the repair is free.

  Here, you can get the closest authorized service provider:

• Satellite A205-replaced drive HARD and recovery CD does not. Media test failure

  Help, please

  My wife's computer crashed, everything has begun with damaged or missing file windows\system32\en. He takes to the geek squad and diagnostic test says corrupted hard disk.
  (Trying to recover the data is another problem to solve later)

  To save money, I ordered a new HDD (WD320GB) installed the new HARD drive, inserted the recovery disc and get the following message:

  Pre-seed execution Environment (PXE) v2.1
  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
  Operating system not found

  I see the new HARD drive in the BIOS, I changed the boot order to boot with CD/DVD player but still the message above.

  What now?
  Thanks for any help I can get.

  Hello

  Can start you on another disk, mate?

  Normally, this message appears if you can boot from the HARD drive or a disk bootable t. In your case, you need to install the OS on CD/DVD first so I think the recovery disc's maybe scratchy or the reader doesn t work properly.

  Then, try another disc and see what happens. :)

• Satellite A660 - touch pad / stop and other buttons do not work

  Dear people on this forum,

  Recently, about 3 weeks ago, I turned on my computer and I cleaned out the dust because it was overheating.

  about 2 weeks before, I noticed that my touchpad is not working and the buttons at the top of the page do not work, there is no light (multimedia audio buttons wireless) I can't activate/deactivate or either, I don't know how. I don't know if the problem because I cleaned my laptop and has not logged a few threads back but I included this detail because I do not use these buttons if I haven't noticed if they were on. but he said: 2 days ago, I don't know how my wireless exploded Ant when I press fn + f8 (wireless) wireless communication switch is turned off, which is one of the buttons is not working (upstairs next to / switch even with my touch pad)

  I tried the following:

  Windows Update
  turn off the computer, remove all cables and battery and wait for about 30 minutes. Then then hold down the button for 30 seconds
  Reinstall the support flash cards, hw Setup utility / value pack
  and finally a Toshiba out of the recovery of the box using the recovery of 2 cd product

  I don't know what to do next. It's either:

  try something else
  or is there a wire is connected both touchpad and the buttons at the top and I have to open my laptop and connect them.

  Please answer as to my next step to get my wireless.

  Please don t get me wrong, but I don t know how to help you now. Disassembly of the laptop is to only authorized persons and if you do it on your own there is always a risk that something may be hurt or may be damaged.

  OK, I must also say that I also removed my machine too but I got lucky and everything is OK as before.
  I put t know how A660 looks inside, but the principle is still the same and I can't imagine you have whatever it is damaged.
  You know very well that we cannot say much about your problem. What you need to do now is the final test of functionality and install original recovery image that you got with your laptop. Test the functionality with the factory settings. If the problem is still there, I m afraid you must open for new laptop and check if everything is connected correctly.

  Last option is to contact the service and ask for help.

• Satellite L300 - cannot enter Windows and recovery disk will not stand

  Good evening

  I have a Satellite L300. A month ago, I bought and install an upgrade to Windows 7 (I had Vista). Last night, my laptop was working fine and this morning when I opened it I got this error:

  BOOTMGR is corrupt. the system cannot start.

  I did some research and tried to boot from the recovery disc. Laptop computer the disc I get the windows is looding files screen and then a company Microsoft is displayed with a bar above it and then I get a blue screen that says:

  PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED vista

  Now what can I do to reformat my computer and reinstall if I can't load the recovery disc!

  I tried to put my DVD of Vista I have for my other PC, but I have another error black screen...

  Can someone tell me what I can do now?

  Is it because I have a recovery CD for Windows Vista and not 7?

  Okay, so I read several post here and the only thing I can't think is the hard drive... but it had already changed a few months ago by Toshiba... now my laptop is not less guarantee more with Toshiba, but I have an extended warranty with my VISA... If anyone has any idea here, I'll try to bring it where they change HARD drive the last time...

• Satellite L300D - new drive HARD and recovery USB loading

  I have a satellite L300D. The hard drive has failed. I have the recovery on a USB part. I bought a new hard drive and that you have installed in the laptop.

  I can boot the laptop off the usb and then when I try to do recovery it asks drivers for HARD drive or he asks the recovery DVD to be installed!

  Anyone know if there is something special I need to do to the new HARD drive?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Do you have created disk recovery or recovery memory flash USB using the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator?

  If you have created a recovery disk, you should recover the laptop using this disc

• Satellite L850 bad DVD size and recovery media creator error empty

  Hello
  I just bought my L850 Satellite today and I found that Windows Explorer reads a 4.7 GB blank as 1.3 GB, then creator of recovery media DVD return error code 0E01D0-3D-00000000.

  I'm afraid that my laptop DVD drive is broken! Are there any suggestions?

  Hello

  Don t think that your ODD drive is defective.
  Fact is that there is always a problem of compatibility between the discs and the ODD.
  As far as I know manual usage provides some info on well tested and compatible CD and DVD.

  Recommend using a disc that were the compatibility has been tested.
  In addition, I recommend standard R TDK. My experience has been good in using these discs

• Satellite A660 - 1 H 5 and crack chips Sandy

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum. I recently bought a 1 H 5 A660. The thing within a week of purchase that I start to get this blue screen when I turn on the computer. It is about 50% of the time. Then I went to the shop where I buy the machine and discovered that there is a recall of the product because of the fault of sandy bridge.

  «Toshiba also recalled its models of series A660 Satellite L655, A665 and M645, the Satellite E305 S1990, select computers laptop Toshiba Portege R835, some systems of the Qosmio X 505 and the Qosmio X 500 series - model Q930.»

  The thing is I can't find my product even on the toshiba site. I can find 1 h 7, 1:6, but not 1 h 5. I want to know is there anyone with the same situation as me. And I want to know is the same laptop with the same specification will be released in April when intel ships fixed chips?

  And the thing I don't understand is, according to the news:

  "The Cougar Point flaw affects only SATA Intel controlled 3 Gbps ports - 6 GB/s ports are fully operational." PC manufacturers who only make use of the 6 Gb/s ports are therefore encouraged to continue anyway.

  "* If you are a manufacturer of laptop, you will find laptops which is enough for a hard drive and DVD drive, two ports SATA [6 Gb/s]", said a spokesperson for Intel Pro PC *. "In these cases, it is perfectly OK to use the B2 walk."

  Also, surely, it should not cause a problem on my laptop? Even if it does, not after a week of purchase?

  I have that really the new laptop and I really want to get a strong response from the official toshiba representative exactly what the problem with my computer before you return it for a refund.

  BTW, my laptop can be found on amazon:

  Hello

  My cousin bought one of these new A660 with the Sandy Bridge chipset and it works perfectly fine.
  Apparently it takes months or even years for the SATA ports to start to fail, he decided to keep this A660 for now, until new motherboards are available.

  We discovered that only the external SATA (eSATA) port is assigned.
  The HARD drive is not on a port.
  The optical drive is on a port, but optical drives do not require a high bandwidth so it is not affected.

  So basically, you have the option to return the laptop rather than buy or keep it for the time, and then send it to an ASP when new mothers are available.

• Satellite A660-1DW - fault LED and arrow keys

  I just bought an A660-1DW. Everything seems to work fine except that the arrow and DELkeys do not always work. Most of the time they are very good, but maybe once in every twenty depressions you must press the button twice or even three times or he press very hard to make it work.

  This is a new laptop, and no liquid has been spilled on it.

  I found an entry in the knowledge base that deals with a similar problem for other types of satellites, but not the 'A' series. He recommended to switch off, remove the battery, wait awhile and turn with FN / N / 1 keys at the same time. I did, but it has no effect.

  Someone had a similar problem? I have to send the laptop back to fix, or is there something I can do myself?

  All opinions and advice are welcome.

  Matt.

  The described issue was slightly different. It's a keyboard delay which has not assigned a particular button, but all the keys on the keyboard. But this has been fixed by the BIOS updated.

  In your case, it sounds like keyboard problem
  Perhaps it should be replaced

• Satellite A660: Can I use HDD recovery after the C formattg

  My A660 comes with windows 7.
  I intend to install Win 7 Pro.
  I was wondering if I format the C drive leaving 2 partitions (restore) system I'll still be able to use miladi autimatic restoration? - or the start setting will get too erased after the format of C:.

  According to me, the info partionds and start-up of recovery are all in the system folder and I will not format that?

  Thank you guys

  Hello

  As I know, that you won't be able to use HARD drive recovery option after installing other Windows operating systems
  HARD drive recovery would be only available with Toshiba preinstalled image.
  The new facility would change the master boot record and boot model will be modified. I guess the recovery of HARD drive option is not available in the menu new.
  So create a disk recovery first before you install any other OS!

• My Satellite phone stops during the restore recovery disc image

  On several occasions the laptop suddenly stops until he's finished completely restore the recovery disc.
  I have a suspicion that this may be due to get warm. If so, is there anything that might be too sensitive to heat and therefore tripping? It becomes a little hot but not more than my other laptop which is not traveling. It seems to work longer before stumbling in a cold room.

  I have not been able to fully restore the image without problem and had to do the installation with a XP disc. This succeeded, but again, it fires after a short use.
  Something should be reset or the laptop should it take repair?

  Hello

  According to the description of your problem, the first step should be professionally cleaned. Dust blocks the flow of air and I imagine that shortly after, the critical temperature of portable erached. In this case the unit will stop automatically because of protection of the equipment.

  The device, I'm sure everything will be OK again.
