  I recommend you to install the recovery image again (recovery disk with F8 at startup option).
  After that do what you will get new out-of-box state. Do not install the updates. At first check to see if the problem persists.
  If so, contact your dealer as soon as possible and ask for Exchange.

• Satellite A660, SWITCH OFF COOLING PROBLEM message appears

  My Sat A660 1FH displays a message that says there is a cooling problem and I should pass away, but when I check the settings there is no problem. can anyone help please?

  Hi mikeswan,

  I have the Satellite A660 since October 2010 up to more than 4 months now and has never seen a such error message on my Satellite A660. Everything works fine, cooling system works normally and if not, no problem.

  Nothing comes from nothing, so I think that there really is a problem with your cooling system or high temperature.

  Your laptop should still be under warranty, because this new model of s. very good because I would contact the closest to what s service provider authorized as soon as possible before you get property damage due to a higher internal temperature. I think that professional people, make sure that there is no problem or get the correction of an error, please check your laptop. Maybe the fan needs to be replaced or else I put t really know.

  I can help you find an authorized service provider then follow this link:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > find an authorized service provider

  That s a list of all FSA with phone number and all the rest need you can get in touch with the guys.
  I think that it of the best idea and if there is a hardware problem, repair will cost nothing. :)

• Satellite A660 - fan 90% on battery optimized mode

  Hi all my dear users of Toshiba that I really respect because they use such great brand Toshiba. I hope you have the time to read my problem and that its length can not bother you and you can do me favor and answer me.
  I am from Egypt and I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite A660 - 17M. It is really a great device and I've updated the BIOS twice on the official website of Toshiba and now I have the 2.00 BIOS os independent.

  My problem now is that the fan cooling and here's what happens with me. When I adjust method in the Toshiba cooling ensures peak performance so that the temp is between 36 to 63% and the fan speed is 52 to 75% and it takes a lot of time turns off because it is not easy to reach the beach of temp which makes it either stops when I'm inactive or work.

  The largest part of the problem is that when I change the method of cooling battery optimized mode everything working the fan going to 90% and rest, so never or up to this I put the laptop before in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 minutes. Then it is cool and it stops. So in the meantime either inactive or work done, it jumps again to 90%. When I turned off my laptop and wait to be completely cooled, then turn it on while in battery optimized mode the fan starts working during start-up only stops until Windows starts completely then it climbs to 90% and remaining so ever except when I force him to be cool by placing it in front of the fridge.

  My friends, I think that it is not logical to always work in conditions of refrigerator and also it is illogical to have fan always 90% especially that I'm on battery optimized mode.

  What is the problem in your opinion, and if someone has the same laptop can help and describe what is happening with him also. I do not remember if these events are produced before BIOS set to day or not as I they weren't in my mind before BIOS update and I don t know whether or not this happens also before the BIOS update.

  From what I understand, is that the battery optimized mode fan running weaker than the maximum performance mode. Then what's happening and if you say he remains silent until this than complete Windows starts and runs then 90% to compensate for the accumulated heat, I agree with you, but shouldn't t happen to some extend then stops at the battery life optimized according to the name of the battery optimized mode.

  Really I am so disappointed and now know what the problem is. Please help and don t advise me to call Toshiba. Whatever they say please send us the laptop. I m waiting for your responses and thanks a lot for the time spent reading my message.

  Hey,.

  Normally if you use the battery mode optimized for the method of cooling the fan will run less maximum performance. So your laptop will work more silent, but with a higher temperature but usually you don't notice it.

  So if this happened only since the update of the BIOS is you load the default settings in the BIOS after update? Go to the BIOS Setup and press F9 to load the default values. Then save & exit the BIOS Setup.

  I would be also interesting to know what operating system you are using. What is the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation?

  The fan should be cleaned from time to time using a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. This can also help improve the cooling. An accurate and interesting article on cleaning the notebook, you can find here:

• 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 - fan always to the strong

  Hi all

  I bought the Satellite A660-10 days and I love it so far.
  The only problem I have is the fan noise. It is always on 53% of speed even when I do not do anything.
  I wonder if this is normal because I have only an i3 with intel.

  Thank you!

  Please open the power plan you use and go into the advanced settings. Under open Toshiba option method of cooling energy saving, and then assign the value at a minimum. It should reduce the activity of fan and your laptop runs much quieter.

  I also recommend you to use the balanced power plan.

• Satellite A660: Comment and a question about button lighting / mute

  Note:

  Hi, I'm the proud owner of a satellite A660-166 (3 days) and I installed everything from scratch on the win 7 pro because I got my laptop with a home (need pro for work) version... I met some problems, but this forum really answered my questions :) Never found such a useful for technical support forum. I wanted to express my gratitude and my support for everything you do for users :)

  Problem: well, this isn't really a problem, more a curiosity... I had a few problems with the key eco, at this time there button lighting / mute was to mute... Thank you guys, I found out what needed to be done, I reinstalled the Flash card software and everything worked properly more the lighting button / mute has been for enlightenment now. I have nothing against that, I prefer it like this, but I wonder how to change that... I found some response on the use of toshiba wireless Assistant and the illumination tab... Because my laptop is fairly new, that I do not have a tab of enlightenment, I was wondering how to change the mute button if I want to?

  Thanks, keep up the good work!

  It's nice to hear that you found answers to your questions here. Many people here trying to help.

  Back to your question: it is not easy to give a precise answer and I really put t know if you can change the settings of a single button. I think it has something to do with the registry entries, but how to change, that's another question.

  If you use this button for lighting ON / OFF, you can use FN + ESC for the mute button so you have two options that can be used with a touch or quick key combination.
  Can you please test and confirm that it works correctly?

• Satellite A660 - Windows 7 startup problem

  Hi, I have I think the biggest problem I have ever had. I have the Toshiba Satellite A660. I have Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit (just to know.) Computer laptop freezed so I pressed to shutdown (stop) to close.

  Then I tried to start it but I saw only "starting Windows" for more than an hour... When I tried to use the repair disk I saw the Green loading bar only (such as loading windows XP) but nothing happened again. So I tried to use the installation disc, but I get a "windows start" and nothing happened, even with a USB tip.

  Could someone help me?
  Thanks for all the posts.

  I understand that your computer was working and running W7 64 bit.
  You can or you looked in the BIOS? I don't know what you can view/change but is the HDD displayed and if memory is reported?
  If you use the drive of W7 or reinstall to start the computer drive can you get to the screen install Windows and select "repair your computer". If you do not see this screen, you will need to make sure that the DVD or USB is the first boot device.

  Return to this stage for more ideas or google for something like "windows command prompt repair 7.

• Satellite A660 - fan runs fast

  Hello

  Today, I bought a new laptop i7 A660-1FM. I'm pretty happy with it so far except the noise from the fan.
  The minimum speed at which it works is 68%, from to 75 and sometimes 90% sometimes.

  It never goes below 68% even when nothing is running (sitting on the desktop only).
  Is this normal? My top in the previous round of Tosh just fan cuts in and out as needed.
  This new machine is much too loud, as I use it most of the time in a quiet room.

  I played with all power options, including cooling settings, but makes no difference.
  Please help as I really don't want to have to talk to the PC World (the place I bought) I know they'll be totally useful United Nations.

  > Is this normal? My top in the previous round of Tosh just fan cuts in and out as needed.
  It depends on the internal temperature.
  Please don't compare other portable different with different material specifications.
  A660 was equipped with processor with high performance and a 3D graphics chip. These devices create a lot of heat and need to be cooled.

  But you can also slightly reduce the activity of fan, change its settings in the Windows 7 power management.

  Check this box:

  It s on Vista power management, but it of very similar to Windows 7.
  There are a few options.
