Satellite A660 - player optical power: OFF

I have an A660 and I'm doing a system repair disc, but the message "Windows has not found that a CD/DVD burner rises. I also noticed that the icon on the right side of the taskbar indicates that the "Optical Drive Power: OFF '.

I am running Windows 7. I think it may be a setting outside the energy saving eco utility.
Someone please offer little help on this it would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

    Hello

    It is new laptop and something like that should not happen under normal circumstances.
    The question is how you use your laptop. If the laptop is placed on the bed and the cooling fan is blocked I guess this happens due to overheating.

    The laptop is placed on the desktop when this happens?
    Are you sure that the underside cooling fan is not blocked somehow?

  • Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) - power off when the AC adapter is connected

    I bought this laptop for my wife about 2 years, since about 6 months ago, that the laptop was randomly shut off without warning, this only seems to happen while the power supply is connected as well.

    I have read several other posts on other sites with people having similar problems.

    There are various suggested corrections, you must disable the duel core in the bios so that it works only on one heart and he spend dynamic low for fans. I did this about 2 hours ago and touchwood not a single switch off again. This however is not an acceptable solution, there is obviously much more slowly.

    Another suggestion has been updated the bios, I downloaded it now but am very worried to run it, this laptop can stop at any moment, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours. If it stops while updating to bios, I doubt that it would be good news. I don't want to make it work on the single core for the rest of the day/night to see if its stable and then go for it.

    Before that, can I make a call to the toshiba helpline, I read on the forums that this is as well a defect of design within the laptop and there's a reminder of some of the laptops in the Canada, I do not know how it rings true but still a concern to read and might be unacceptable to the owners of the A200.

    Others have advised that it is an overheating problem, it's that I reject, I running SpeedFan and showing a stable 47 temp and it allows to switch off the coast immediately when turned on, yes it could be due to dust build up, something I checked and cleared, it did not a difference for the frequent switch offs.

    Im not too well why it is only when the power supply is connected, I have not tried a different PSU, but those who have had the same problem try this and it has not solved the problem.

    When I unplug my power as well the battery seems last mabye 5 minutes at the most.

    Overall, Im very unhappy all this, toshiba is a brand of 'high' where you expect better quality and pay for it.

    If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, would be also good to hear talk of toshiba support on the issue.

  • Satellite A660 - optical driver turns off when burning DVD

    I have a problem with the optical drive of energy saving options that disables the drive while burning.

    I tried all the suggestions mentioned here [http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Satellite-Laptops-A-Series/Optical-drive-automatically-turns-off-due-to-power-saver/td-p/223654], but it does not help.

    I start at the burn in Ashampoo Burning Studio free, and he seems to be good until the end. When it starts the process of lead-out the popup of the optical signals Drive Power drive is turned off. It's funny because it is still running at the speed of combustion and it will not stop. The reader becomes unresponsive, even I can't the DVD out. Even, that it disappears from the list of devices.

    The only way I thought so far to stop the car and release the DVD is in the shutdown/Hibernate the computer.

    Once the dive starts working again the STRANGE Fn-tab functionality started working and I can turn it on/Off/ejection at will.

    All the burned DVD - s are not valid, and so far I have not managed to burn a single functional DVD.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 - PSAW3E with Win7 Enterprise 64-bit.

    Is there a way to fix this? Remove the optical drive power management?

    Hello

    To be honest I have never heard of this issue, but it appears that the optical drive power management is part of the power of Toshiba configuration utility.
    Part of the Toshiba value added package configuration done Toshiba power utility.

    What you can try, for testing purposes, to remove the Toshiba added value of the system package, restart your computer and try to burn DVDs again to see if the same problem will occur again.

    Toshiba value added package contains several tools such as utility cards flash FN so after his withdrawal, you will not be able to use the FN keys. In any case, after that trial, you can download and install Toshiba value added package again.

    I mean, I know what kind of conflict is there, but maybe you should consider it.

  • Satellite A660-1FH fails to back off with Win7 64-bit

    Hi, a friend of mine asked me to watch his Satellite A660-1FH (PSAW3E). It is currently running windows 7 64 bit. There initially could not activate so I said I'd take a peek.

    It just would not start the power on, it would go beyond the initial screen then cursor would appear at the top on the left and flash a couple of times and freeze. I started and you press f2 to view the bios and the HARD drive was top of the list so I pressed f10 and saved and started. starts fine then he thought may have been an accident that has caused and continues in windows and update for him.
    then rebooted and froze! It seems when the restart is selected, it does not restart, everything freezes.

    I tried to use hirens resumed but it cannot see the HARD drive when it is started! weird. I got in the car and he ghosts for safety.

    Earlier I installed 8 company windows x 64, and it presents the same question. the drive works fine in other pc so you need another piece of equipment. I had already updated the BIOS under win7 and checked all drivers.

    I just got a strange win8 startup message saying that a boot or partition file was missing and could not start but him repressing the power button, it starts well.

    It does not always restart under a clean install of win8. I came here because I found a post with the same or similar issue. Any suggestions? Thanks Mark

    > it just would not start the power on, it would go beyond the initial screen then cursor appears at the top on the left and flash a couple of times and freeze

    The blinking cursor appears in the upper left corner indicates a malfunction or memory from HDD. I think you should check both sides.

    You said that the drive works fine in another PC. Do you hear the HARD drive?
    If so, then the HARD drive is OK and the RAM is probably the troublemaker.

  • Satellite A660 - Win 8.1 power settings option not available

    Hello

    I upgraded my Toshiba (A660) to 8.1 64 x. (clean install)

    All if works well except idle protected function, which seem to have disappeared of power options.
    In my view, that a driver is required. (I have installed a single Toshiba driver)

    They don't seem to have VAP more.

    Can someone tell me what is the driver I need to install for this problem?

    Thank you.

    > All works well except idle protected function, which seem to have disappeared of power options.
    What exactly is the function of inactive variation? Display backlight control?

    Toshiba not stand in my knowledge of Windows on the Satellite A660 8.1 and therefore you would not find drivers Windows 8.1 for this series.

    If you want to install the utilities and tools Toshiba Windows 8.1, you will need to seek such software in your own hand. But I'm not quite sure if software published for other portable Toshiba would be compatible with the A660 m model.

    However, the fact is that there is no such thing as the package of added value to win 8.1.
    This was the case with Vista or Win 7, but it is not available for Windows 8.1.
    The VAP has been replaced by the system of Toshiba driver.

  • Satellite A660 Win7 - power management system action center is missing driver

    I replaced the battery on my laptop Toshiba A660-15J and a few months, is back with the battery high capacity and now Action Center 7 win keeps popping up with the message that I need to download and install the missing driver for power management system.

    The power supply has been replaced not at all, nothing has changed, except for the battery.

    Costs of light on the functions of the laptop, as it did before the battery change.
    It turns on and is red and after a few hours, it becomes white and the battery level shows that it is 100%

    The problem is that this center of windows 7 says that missing one driver ACER? -> WTF?

    The link to download it from DOES NOT

    It seems odd that the link that windows provides its on a site of acer, but since part´s manufacturers other´s manufacturers use it does not at all surprise me.

    I want just the clarification and confirmation of what I have to do here, and why to toshiba Service does not show this update?

    I read that the BIOS update can fix this, however there is NO bios update for my laptop.
    I have also contacted MICRO$ OFT but I'm still waiting for a response from them.

    I also read other messages on various toshiba forums that relate to this same problem, but they used to say that the model is not supported by toshiba in this country...

    I clicked on the link on this forum directly on the site of Toshiba Australia, so please do not tell me that my model is not supported on this forum of Toshiba Europe!

    The exact message:
    Download and install the driver for your power management system
    Your power management system is missing a driver.
    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
    Press or click on to download the driver of the A + c + e + r society Web site
    Download and extract the driver files
    Type and click on save or save as, and then save the file to your desktop. If you can t choose where to save the file, you will need to find and copy it to your desktop. When you download files, most of the web browsers save them in the folder to download on your computer.

    Maybe that's the problem. The new battery is fully compatible?

  • 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
