• 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.

• My Satellite A100 would not be put into hibernation

  Hello

  My laptop would not be in hibernation when I activate in the windows toolbar.
  When I activate the hibernation it will normally, but when the monitor takes blue and says "prepare put into hibernation" the monitor or system do not shoutdown (turn off), why?

  Is that the same for the suspend mode.

  I did a survey on my laptop and see I mode hibernation is enabled in control panel > power Setings > Hibernation

  My laptop is a Satellite A100.

  Sorry for my English.

  Thanks a lott!

  Hey Buddy,

  Sometimes, these problems of hibernation / suspension are caused by some programs that can't be closed from vista. Or your toshiba powersaver works bad, maybe some settings have been
  badly configured through that-I-know-what program or something else.

  I suggest you first: when you try to hibernate/suspend, then try pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL to see what applications are STILL running. Try closing the applications in the order of
  see when the machine will be really placed in hibernation. If this doesn´t has helped you, then try reinstalling the powersave (first uninstall correctly your system) and give a few
  What feedback happening.

• Satellite L10-119: during movie laptop computer into hibernation.

  I wa I watch a movie and then my notebook enter into hibernation. Whenever I try to re - open, allowed the first left to start computer laptop mowing, and that's it. Anyone know why?

  Hello

  Have you used the battery or the AC adapter if you watch movies?
  Also I know the System Standby Automatic/Hibenation feature automatically shuts down the system in sleep or hibernation mode when there is no input or material of access for a specified time.
  To specify the time, click Start, Control Panel, performance and Maintenance, Power Options. The power management tab, you can select time to sleep or Hibernate.

  Please give me a feedback if it works.

• Need new keyboard for Satellite A660

  Hello

  I need to get a new keyboard to replace the one in my laptop Toshiba Satellite because some keys stopped working.

  My computer is a Toshiba Satellite A660-PSAW3A-07P00R.

  I have been looking online at different and a single list as "fitting Toshiha Satellite A660 laptop computers".

  Does anyone know if different laptops of the A660 other shape series computers laptops, or I need to find the specific part that is compatible with the number of my computer?

  In addition, the keyboard of my laptop doesn't have the function of backlit, but in some lists I could find that didn't function backlit.

  Anyone know if the backlit keyboard is a size different from that which is not backlit and therefore it does not my laptop?

  I would be very grateful of any help.

  Thank you.

  When the keyboard is removed on the back side is a sticker with part number that you can use to search for and order new keyboard. In my opinion this is the best and easiest way to find a good keyboard.

  Keyboard with backlight has additional cable for power and you cannot use it with our machine, so, in my opinion, there is no sense to buy it. Remove the keyboard and we part of the keypad number.

  I don't know if you have experience with disassembly, but be careful if you want to do it yourself. Small mistake and something may be broken. If all this is too risky for you I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can order the original keyboard and switch to... I think only 20 minutes.

• Satellite A660 - 10 X sometimes won't start - screen black startup

  Hello

  _sometimes_ my Satellite A660-10 x (PSAW3E) usually start.
  I turn it on, you hear the fan coming, on the screen, you see a blinking cursor on the screen in the top left, it kind of more climbs to left and top over in the corner and stops. Nothing happens, after a while, I turn off the laptop.
  If I do this 3 - 5 times then it starts. Sometimes it starts on the first attempt.

  What I tried:
  Reinstall the PC since the partition of drive with Win7
  Out of HARD drive in my desktop PC and CHKDSC running with analysis and correct errors.
  Cleaning of all the PC of dust, fans etc.
  Pulling out / in battery/AC
  Check the memory (RAM)
  Processor power management change the State of the minimum 5% to 100% CPU

  I understand PC, but this day have no idea what can cause this. The only thing that comes to mind is that the partition at the beginning of the disk contains errors that I can't reach because there a boot partition, partition original installation and the rest which is the only one, I can not reach with CHKDSC.
  I heard someone tried changing battery of motherboard (small round), it can it be?

  It doesn't seem to be the disc or the problem of the LCD screen, or RAM memory.

  > I turn it on, you hear the fan coming, on the screen, you see a blinking cursor on the screen in the top left, it kind of more climbs to left and top over in the corner and stops. Nothing happens, after a while, I turn off the laptop.

  Cursor blinking in the upper left is a well-known landmark and could be related to defective RAM or HARD disk memory problems.

  Verification of memory could be carried out, and in my experience, these controls provide memory about the correct results. But even if verification of memory would not find any problem of RAM, it could still be a nuisance RAM.

  Of course, I can't say with certainty, if his RAM related question or maybe its related to other defective part.
  Fact is that this problem is caused by problems of material and in the worst case that the motherboard needs to be replaced.

• Satellite A660 - USB 2.0 ports are inadmissible

  My laptop series Satellite A660 is a month old and worked fine so far. However, I turned on the machine and all the three Ports USB 2.0 are inadmissible. I Shut Down and restarted the computer - no change.

  (Windows 7-16 Bit OS) Control Panel - manage devices - it is said that all USB Ports 2.0 are recognized and working. In fact, NO device in one of the three (3) USB2.0 Ports are actually be recognized or working at all - there is no answer. Interestingly, the port eSATA/USB combo of 1 one works and responds correctly.

  Can anyone help?

  Should I just send it was pushing the shop? Yes, it's still under warranty.

  Hey,.

  > Should I just send it was pushing the shop?
  No, I think that it s just a USB driver problem.

  In your case I would reinstall the chipset of the official website of Toshiba driver. Also, you have the latest version, try to reinstall it because it contains the USB drivers and maybe it's something wrong with her s.

  After installation of the chipset driver test it again. If it doesn t work to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager and restart your laptop. The USB ports will be reinstalled automatically.

  I click on the Start button and then choose put into hibernation. It goes into hibernation and I go to bed, so I don't know when it will come out of hibernation.

  I used to have to press the power button, get up and running after his hibernation. Along the front of the computer are 5 blue lights. I'll call them a, b, c, d and e.

  d & e are usually off when I use the computer.

  a, b, and c are on when I'm on the computer. When it goes into hibernation mode b turns off.

  When I get up in the morning a, b and c are all back on and everything that I have to do is move my mouse around then newspaper instead of the first press of the power button.
  I have a few scheduled tasks, but I've always had people.

  Help, please. Is there a setting that I can do to take care of this problem? TIA

  Hello

  Anyway, check it please Windows Update option and disable it. Click the settings (left) and make sure that the first option install updated is automatically disabled. Maybe your laptop starts each day at a time and try to do the update of audit.

• Satellite A660 - recharge the battery

  I'm just after the purchase of a Toshiba Satellite A660-1FM i7-740QM. I brought it home and plugged and then lit it. It turned out perfectly, but it doesn't seem to work on the farm.

  Costs associated with 0% and it is fair to say that the battery is charging. He has served for the last hour and so far nothing.

  If I plug out then he dies immediately.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off, indicating that the battery is fully discharged.
  Remove the battery.
  Using a soft cloth, wipe the battery packs connectors and AC adapters.
  Reinsert the battery.
  Plug the power adapter of the computer
  When the PC is turned off, allow the battery to charge until the battery status light
  Disconnect the power adapter.
  Remove the battery.
  Wait 30 seconds and reinsert the battery.
  Reconnect the AC adapter.
  Let the battery recharge until fully charged battery status.
  Now your battery must be charged completely. You should notice more autonomy.

  I posted it for a toshiba official support base.

• Satellite A660 - battery discharge per day in shutdown/Hibernate implementation

  I presented my Satellite A660 for troubleshooting, after that months of testing a battery discharged 5% / day in hibernation (4 + % / closing day). When the battery is removed from the laptop, there is no noticeable effluent. The discharge when the battery is inserted is much higher than a previous laptop I've owned, but Toshiba says it's normal.

  I was wondering if I could ask people for what they found to be normal (compared to what they have found to be problematic).
  Thanks for the stories.

• 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.

• Re: Satellite A660 turns off

  Hello

  In June last year, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A660, when I took out of the House and the box, he doesn't work, turn on, and then he clicks.

  I got the next day traded with another sealed unit. While in the store of the computer, I demand to see work before I take it home. Open the box starts, it worked. Last month he began to go off while in the workplace, I linked to an overheating (it heats up a lot on day 1) I bought a laptop cooler, run on USB with 200 mm cooling fan. No difference, it is capricious, some days work all day another time just clicks off and I want to never start.

  Today I'm not if happy because I can not start my work is always on it. What is my solution?

  I am a computer professional and is my diagnosis for this laptop: it runs too hot and the breakdowns are inevitable in the first six to 12 months, depends on its daily use (hours / day).

  In my opinion:

  (A) I don't want to fix it (it is still under warranty) I need a replacement because it is a manufacturing defect.

  (B) If this model has design problems especially overheating then it should be exchanged with a reliable model equivalent.

  see you soon,

  Vania Lolham

  Hi mate

  (A) I don't want to fix it (it is still under warranty) I need a replacement because it is a manufacturing defect.

  I think you need to check with your dealer to laptop.
  To my knowledge the certified partner Toshiba is able to repair and fix the laptop, but you will not get a refund of ASP.
  If the laptop is under warranty, your laptop will be corrected for free.

  (> B) If this model has design problems especially overheating then it should be replaced with equivalent reliable model.

  Don t think that there could be a problem of design one of my friends has a series, and it works properly.
  First of all, you should check if you BIOS update could improve the functionality of the laptop.
  You should also check if the dust and debris does not prevent cooling modules work correctly. In my case, my old laptop didn't work correctly because of the dust.
  I used to delete this jet of compressed air and it worked.

  Finally, I must say that it shouldn't be necessary to use additional cooling pads in order to cool the laptop. If portable s temperature is too high, then it must be something wrong. If above advice doesn't help, then I would say that the material could be affected and in this case, the technician must verify that

• Satellite A660 - Windows won't load - I can't get back

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 7U.
  Last night it could not start.

  I ran the Norton ghost boot cd and save most of the things that I needed.
  I also noticed player C has become just 1.5gig and there was an extra drive!

  I tried to run the system restore by using startup Toshibas restore factory settings. first of all it does not have enough space in drive C, and then when I changed the settings to delete all partitions, he was preparing for a long time the copy as long (10 min) time and then turned itself off.

  Now what should I do? My HARD drive has disappeared?
  I see all my stuff when I use Norton ghost however. I copied most of the things in the drive (D) possibility of a virus?

  William

  Hello

  I think that Akuma is right.
  The Ghost has copied all the files (backup) image on the C partition and as a result there is no more free space on this partition.

  I m wondering if you have created a Toshiba Recovery disk. Did you?
  If you didn t create the recovery disk and if the disk HARD recovery option doesn't work, then you must order a new recovery disk to put the laptop back to factory settings.

  Of course, it is an additional option if the procedure of restoring ghost image would not work.

• 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.
