• 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 - 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 - display problems, very dark display

  Hello

  I'm at the end of help please.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3A-07P00R.

  recently, it has been very, very dark display on the screen, almost impossible to see.
  I tried the following the problem solved.

  1. set the brightness to the MAX in the operating system, power management, etc.
  2 reset the BIOS to default settings.
  3. set the brightness to the MAX on the laptop brightness settings.
  4. check the external display via a VGA cable. tested ok.
  5. I bought a new LED 16 "screen but the new screen has the same problems. If I understand correctly, LED screens (1 data cable video on the bottom of the screen to connect to the motherboard) have the "inverter" built into the display, so appears not to be a problem of map display, brightness or graphics. I would be fair to assume that this is related to the data cable from the screen? If Yes, is a piece that can come from Toshiba? or something easily fixable?

  is there something easy, I missed, or something I have not tried?
  has anyone else experienced this problem and solved?

  Thank you in advance.

  > I would be fair to assume that this is related to the data cable from the screen? If Yes, is a piece that can come from Toshiba? or something easily fixable?

  As much as I know there is no FL inverter then, or you can override the display or the cable (LCD/FL)
  LVDS cable) with a new one and the test shows again.
  I found a compatible: K000103140 LVDS CABLE

• Satellite C660 - Fan throw very often

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba C660 laptop. I noticed, this fan run very frequently (the temperature is 45-52 c). I tried to change "Toshiba Power Saver Settings V8.9.4.64" "Battery optimized" in 'advanced power settings', but that didn't help. I updated my BIOS to version 1.80, but he did ' help, too. When will be the new BIOS for this model?

  Hello

  Please don t understand me wrong but acitivy fan will be controlled automatically and is based on the CPU temperature. Still, the fan will start if the CPU is running on a high temperature to protect the equipment. So it of normal.

  What you can do after a few months is the cleaning of cooling as described here:

• Satellite A300D - fan turns very hard and the laptop gets very hot

  I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as what to do with the overheating problem that I currently have with my A300D. I had the laptop for less than a year, it is still under warranty but I don't know where to go or what to do to fix it.

  The problem: about two months ago, I noticed the fan turns very hard and also the laptop gets very hot. Now it runs so hot the laptop shuts down completely. The heat being driven out of the laptop is so hot! burn your my infact.

  Anyone has any advice they could offer me.

  Thank you
  James

  Hi James

  You wrote that you have the laptop less than a year, so my question is this is already cleaned it?
  The laptop needs to be cleaned every 3-4 months and I do this every 3 months. Whenever I do I m wondering how much dust out and after this procedure the portable is a lot cooler.

  Here's an interesting article from Toshiba on this subject:

  Compressed air spray is really useful and you should check it out yourself! ;)

• 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.

• Satellite A660 - fan and temperature problem

  Probably after that Bios Update to 2.3 increased fan is efficient and temperatures grew deadly
  So please help!

  I can't work on my laptop and the children cannot play in games (even simpler)
  regards and sorry for my English

  I imagine that this behavior is the result of the update of the BIOS.
  Can you please tell us what was the reason for the update of the BIOS? Sorry to ask this, but I always say that there is no reason to change anything, if there is not a serious problem.
  What to do now?

  In general, you can't do much, but what you can try is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider, explain the situation and ask if there is a possibility for BIOS downgrade.
  I guess that they have access to the database of Toshiba and can get the older version of BIOS for you.

• Satellite A660 - cooling fan is too slow

  Hello

  I own TOSHIBA Satellite A660 - 10 X
  the problem is that fan will slow (when the laptop starts its goes much faster that slowing it down). Problem is that the laptop is overheating and that it stops without any warning. I'm working on it and must be reliable.

  I tried the power management but there are only "optimized batery' or 'up', but at least it won't max for sure.

  Is it possible to check the speed of the fan? I tried several aplications to see fan speed but they do not work.

  And I never found fan in BIOS.

  You use applications that require a lot of graphics performance?
  S your laptop sitting on the desk when you work with it.

  Do not forget that all the vents, especially downstairs are not blocked somehow.

• Satellite A660-167 - audio latency very high indeed

  Hello guys.

  I have a Toshiba A660-167 and I'm having a problem with the audio latency, it is actually very high.
  I am using Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit and I already tried using windows 7 32-bit and windows Xp but the problem remains.

  Toshiba already tried to "fix" my problem, but as they said that my laptop works perfectly.
  If someone knows something about the latency problem that his help will be very appreciated...

  Thanks in advance

  Hi dj_betty,

  And how did you notice this problem of DPC latency?
  You have a problem with noise or speakers as low volume or what?

  I must say that my Satellite A660 runs great. I often listen to music with headphones or speakers in-house and have no problem at all. Music and video will be read correctly.

• Satellite A660 - Internet connection is very slow

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-guest 1GT, bought the Poland and I have a problem with the internet. Where I live there is a wireless router and my laptop connects to the wireless but the internet works very slowly. I have a older laptop which I use in parallel on which the internet is much faster. When I clicked on the network and diagnose the problem, there was a message that the connection seems to be broken. In addition, the number of packages I'm sending is twice or three times less than the package I receive.

  I took out the battery, reconfigure power settings, reinstalled both drivers for the LAN and wireless, all uninstalled programs of eternal but the internet is still very slow. I have to wait more than 10 minutes to load a video on youtube. Which, on my old computer, it must be about 1 min. can you please advise me what to do?

  P.S. I donno if that counts. I got Windows 7 in Polish and I installed an English pack with vistalizator,

  Thank you!

  Hey,.

  Is Internet connection too slow when you connect the Ethernet cable? So, you can determine whether the problem is related to the Internet itself router or WLAN connectivity.

  Generally speaking, it is difficult to say something about the WIFI configuration and router. In your case I also get in touch with your internet service provider and ask for the correct router configuration. They can also tell you how to set up the laptop to go online. :)

• How to control the speed of the fan on Satellite A660 - 11 M?

  Please any body know how to control the fan speed its always of 69% and making bad noise and the cpu use is 3% no to treatment high I try avancΘs power but still runing high speed

  Advanced power settings go to Toshiba power Saver saver > cooling method. There are minimum level. Change back to your power management for a second power plan, and the fan must be much quieter.

  I did it on my Satellite A660.
  Before changing PC Toshiba, health monitor showed CPU temperature 41% and the speed of the fan was 67%. After changing the method of cooling fan speed is 0%.

• Satellite A660 - WLan Broadcom 802.11n very slow on Win 8

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite A660 PSAW3a 07r00r and my speedtest is usually 12 or 13 MB/s
  After you have installed Windows 8 64 bit, my speed went back to 2 or 3 MB/s.
  All my other computers are still at 12 or 13 MB/s.

  I tried the drivers 64-bit windows 7 as well but no luck.
  It seems to be a common theme when I googled.
  My broadcom driver version is 5.60.48.35.

  Someone at - it solution or something for me to try?

  Thank you, Will.

  Hello

  As I m not wrong the 802.11 standards (B/G/N) WLan wireless card BROADCOM BCM94313 supports.

  What Wlan standard are you using exactly?
  The Wlan standard can be changed in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab

  Given that the wireless network adapter supports 802.11 B / G and N, the 2.4 Ghz frequency is supported.
  This means that max 54 Mbps transfer rate is supported
  But it's just a theoretical value. You will never get to 54 megabits/s usual speed would be ~20Mbit/s = ~ 2.5Mbyte / s

  As you already get 2 or 3 MB/s, everythign seems to be OK
