Satellite A660 - display problems, very dark display

Similar Questions

• 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?
  The original Toshiba display driver you are using.

  Satellite A660 is not the laptop more recent, so it will be interesting to know since when did you notice this behavior.

• Satellite A200 - screen is very dark

  Hi all:
  I use the Satellite A200-1DY

  My screen is broken
  the screen can see... but very very very dark.

  When I start the toshiba splash screen appears, but this one (in 1 sec) disappears and the screen is dark.

  I tried with another screen and it works.

  What can I do?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It looks like FL inverter problem.
  The FL Inverter control the backlight of the screen and if this tiny part does not work, the display looks like Misty.
  It seems that the Toshiba technician would need to replace this part.

• Satellite A660/07U - problem install the nVidia for Win 7 64 bit driver

  A660/07U Windows 7 64 bit

  At first, I need to install this driver because apparently it will solve a problem with the current driver that is causing the computer freezes when booting with an external monitor as main display.

  I downloaded the Setup file of driver from the Toshiba web site and it's extraction ok but when I run the program it just then immediately quits without installing drivers.

  The Device Manager in windows seems not help either, because when I point to the extracted files it tells me that I already have the drivers, even if my current version of the driver is a lower number than the one downloaded.

  Restart made no difference.

  Any ideas/suggestions?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  It is a series of laptop Toshiba to THE.
  Where did you download the driver?

  Usually, you must choose the driver from this page:
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/notebooks/satellite/A660/psaw3a-07u00r/download?OS=25

  I recommend you to download and try to install it once more

• Satellite L300 - screen is very dark

  My Satellite L300 screen is so dark, that I can barely see the desktop. So far I have fitted a new screen, a new inverter, you press the power button for ten seconds without the battery and finally re-installed Windows Vista from the toshiba disk without success.

  Can someone tell me where I go from here?

  Hey,.

  > Finally re-installed Windows Vista from the toshiba disk without success.
  I was a little confused m
  Have you had this problem too when installing recovery or just after the installation of recovery?

  If you already have Exchange display and the inverter FL, it would be interesting to know if you have the same problem on an external display.
  You can test this?

  In General, you can change the brightness of the screen by pressing the FN + F6/F7 key combination.

• 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 - Fans is very strong

  Hello

  Ive recently bought toshiba satellite a660 11 m, its great, but his fans are very noisy even when im doing nothing (zero open applications)
  When I open the toshiba pc health monitor he always says temp: 50 c on avrg and fans * always * on 68 to 70%. (now when im typing this fans are at 68% and only google chrome opens sometimes it looks like his office, no cell phone)
  Note that laptops is 3 weeks old, so I doubt there is any dust in the cooling system.
  Anyone else having this type of problem?
  THX

  Hello

  What to say... My a500 is also great noise even I tried upgrading the Bios, play with power settings, cleaning of cooling system. fan control utility like speedfan and many other things but still... I just don't pay attention to the noise of the fan. You can reduce the noise loading the Cpu with some applications so that the fan continues to constantly operate at 54% with a less noticeable noise.

• Satellite A660 - boot problems USB after BIOS update

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and have recently updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.80). Since then, the laptop freezes on the splash screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
  It works without the memory flash connected and if I connect it after I enter the starting or the BIOS Setup menu. I can even start her like that.
  As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious regression. Is there a way I can downgrade to the version of the BIOS, or any other way to solve this problem? I rely heavily on external USB drives.

  Kind regards
  Claudiu.

  Claudiu salvation,

  That is really interesting, I have to say so I tested on my new Satellite A660 and Transcend 4 GB USB Stick. Well, I also installed 1.80 BIOS but I can t view this problem HARD drive is set as first boot device and all the other BIOS settings are default. The Toshiba screen and Windows computer starts as usual.
  No problem at all!

  Have you tested different USB devices?

  In General, it is not possible to downgrade BIOS. It is possible to an authorized service because Toshiba on page you can download the latest version only but I doubt it s a bug in the new version of BIOS because it works on my A660.

• Satellite A660 / 07P - problems with my browsers, internet connection

  Hey guys,.

  I just brought a Satellite A660 / 07P.
  I have problems with my browsers, internet connection.

  After a period of time (varies) my browsers stop to connect to internet.
  Skype works fine, as does my download manager and other internet services.

  When I run an internet system restore works again for a period of time, before picking up the handset.
  I used this happens with all browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome).

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Ry ~.

  Hi dude

  Skype works fine. Right?

  This means that the laptop is connected properly to the router and the internet connection has been established successfully.
  I think that a firewall can affect the functionality of the browser. Check the firewall settings.

  In addition you should check if other installed 3rd party tools to affect the functionality of the browser.
  Verify installed tools

  last but not least you could clean the operating system. Use the CCleaner.
  Free is nice tools.

• Satellite A660 - meter problem and the function of the power keys do not work

  Hi all

  The drop down menu that appears when I pressed on the FN key disappeared as well as when I turn of the backlit using FN + Z, light under the keyboard just turns off but the light beneath logo buttons on it near the power buttons and satellite does not turn off. How can I solve this?

  The computer displays the electric meter error and eco top near power button never lights energy saving does not work. I tried to reinstall the driver of programs/toshiba eco, but it says BIOS not supported.

  Before you try to reinstall the VAP, try to restart the Flash Cards Support utility. Utility support card Flash controls the FN keys and you can restart it in all programs-> Toshiba-> restart Flash Cards

• Satellite A660 - 07P problem with the pointer of the mouse using the touchpad

  I just bought my A660 07P last Thursday, September 15, 10 and I noticed that I had problems with the mouse pointer using the touchpad.

  From time to time, the cursor/pointer is locked and seems something like a button up and down.
  I assume it's because it's on a mode of waiting, but in this case as every 5 minutes.
  When it is locked, it will also change the zoom percentage when the touchpad is struck. It is very not when I'm in the middle of something and I can not move the pointer. In addition, the start is very slow.

  BTW, I have not installed any programs or applications. I'm still testing until Friday, otherwise I'll go back to where I bought it.

  Hi mate

  This isn't touchpad problem.
  I guess as support for computer laptop MULTI-TOUCH PAD
  There are a few additional features supported by touchpad, and I think that you have enabled this while using the touchpad

  The touchpad supports the features:
  _ChiralMotion_
  You can scroll vertically and horizontally

  _Pinch Zoom_
  This feature provides functionality like the scroll wheel zooming

  _Rotating (chiral spin) _
  This provides gestures to rotate the photos and other objects

  _Momentum_
  This feature provides a smooth, fast trackball as the movement of the mouse. A quick finger on the touchpad surface can move the sliders in the entire screen.

  What is the WLan card status in Device Manager?
  You have no yellow exclamation?

  Even if the yellow exclamation point is not visible in Device Manager, uninstall the WLan driver and reboot the device. Download the most recent update of the driver WLan from here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/ and reinstall.

  I hope this helps to resolve the issue.

• Satellite Pro L300 - 29 c very dark display

  Hello

  The display on my Satellite Pro L300 - 29 c is very, very dark. It's dark, both during POST / in the BIOS and configuration once Windows loads. The brightness of the screen (Fn + F7) is set to the maximum. If I plug in an external display, which works perfectly. I can say that this model is not a physical wheel or something similar that controls the brightness of the screen.

  Should I have a hardware failure? Is this something fixable by the user?

  Thanks in advance.

  I can't say for sure, but I think FL inverter is faulty (backlight) and it should be replaced.
  The FL Inverter control the backlight. It is important that FL Inverter are not too expensive part.
  I take in a Toshiba certified maintainer and ask for help.

• Brightness of the display on Satellite Pro 4300 very dark

  Hello
  I have an old Satellite 4300 Pro that I've updated for my daughter last summer.
  I spent some time just right, put the upgrade of memory maximum and the installation of Windows 2000.

  She just gave it me as she has a new model... and I need the laptop.
  In any case, although it starts, the screen is very dark... totally unusable.
  Oddly, the display is dark during the part of the BIOS of the start-up routine as well.

  I tried many combinations of keys F nothing helps.
  Any suggestions?
  Phil

  Hello Phil

  Pleae note that use of the combination of keys for brightness settings work, just at the moment where OS is started and if some Toshiba designed tools are pre-installed. If this happens when starting laptop too and the BIOS settings are not visible properly I assume the inverter FL (backlight) is defective and must be replaced.
