• 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.

  You have mobile EMEA model then all the drivers, tools and utilities that you can download from http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Try please reinstall extra package from Toshiba.

  The system publishes end and the 8 GB appears in the BIOS, but once that his erases post and passes to Windows loading it stops on the black screen, the cursor blinks several times then it stops. I left for about 5 minutes and it starts through.
  Help, please.

  I replaced the 4 GB sticks and it works fine.

  Hello

  To me it sounds like it's modules are not compatible or have bad sectors
  As Akuma writes, these performance modules are risky in notebook because you don t have options to change the values of latency than on desktop computers. So, I always prefer to upgrade computer laptop RAM Kingston modules.

  But before that you buy other modules, try a BIOS update and load the default settings.

• Satellite A660 - blurry fonts after upgrade IE9

  I have the Satellite A660, and when I've upgraded to the new version of IE 9 fonts are blurred in FB and some sites, very difficult for the eye.
  Toshiba hasn't aired new readers for Nvidia 330 M t be... any help appreciated.

  Hi wsb

  You're really amazing. I've been reading your posts and I m wondering really how anyone can have as many strange questions on the laptop. I have Satellite A660 almost 8 months now and I didn't notice a single problem.
  What you do with your machine?

  It is not easy to understand your question blurred fonts, but try to change the zoom for IE9 options or play around with other options.
  Have you noticed this problem with IE9 only?

• Satellite A660 - slow start after installing Win7

  I have an A660. Satellite (model aus)

  I installed the 64 bit version of windows 7 and starting to take more than a minute. I was wonderign if I used a retail drive and used the serial number at the back of the computer laptop would it not be a better facility.
  Then, I would install just the stuff I need.

  Also, so I use a commercial version would drive recovery based HARD stop working? (because the commercial version may overweite some entries written in the section the drive boot HARD-now if I press 0 he goes to setup - if rerail version replaces this function would stop working?)

  Thanks heaps.

  Each Toshiba laptop comes with the Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image contains several specific Toshiba and utility tools that begin with OS and also some additional software.

  What you need now is the right configuration. With other words, you can remove the unnecessary software from the system and stop all applications, you need the startup list t.
  How to do this?
  Press WIN + R > write msconfig and confirm with OK. The system configuration will be open. Go to the Startup tab and clear the check box in front of app you n t need initially to the top.

  Of course, you can install a clean version of the OS, but for product activation, you can use the product key from the sticker. This license is for the version of Windows that you have with your laptop.
  HDD recovery works with the factory only settings. When you install the clean operating system, you will not be able to start. What you need to do is to create recovery DVDs after Toshiba s instruction how to do this.

  If you have any other questions please let us know.

• Satellite P755: Hardware buttons after upgrading Win10

  Hello

  I did an upgrade of my P755-PSAY3E for Windows 10 today and has clean - install later. After that, I installed this Toshiba in relation to the Toshiba Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant tool. Win10 is now running well so far, but I have problems to get the hardware buttons between the keyboard and screen work (eco-utility, WiFi, Volume) backlight. The Fn keys work correctly.

  Can someone tell me please which driver package (s) is responsible for these buttons? Wouldn't be value added package? VAP is installed, can't find anything that helps. Good idea to try Windows 7 drivers?

  Thanks and best wishes,
  Alex

  Hi Alex...

  I managed to have some buttons work on my P855, installation of Flash Cards support utility for win 8.1 (64):

  There are several versions (win 7, win 8.1, etc.).

  Some buttons are mixed upward, but still better than nothing.

• 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.

• 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.

• Satellite A200 23W stop seconds after pressing the power button / stop

  Hello all :)

  I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 23W a few hours ago.
  I turn it on and let it complete the installation of Vista.

  After the installation of Vista finishing it asket to resturn laptop and from that moment, the laptop is "dead".
  After pressing on restart the computer (from Vista) computer turns off without problem, but he never did it again!
  After a few minutes of waiting, I tried to start it by pressing the power button.

  Now when I press the power button, I can hear the HDD work and most of the time until I see something on the screen of the laptop computer stops!
  Now, I noticed that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN light are hot flushing and stop Flash at times.
  Reading the manual, I guess that the DC IN indicator should Flash in all not well.

  I tried to uninstall the battery and try to start the laptop, but in this case I can't even listen to the HDD, commissioning!
  I try to unplag and replag (on the laptop as well as Jack) power cable but again no result.

  Any ideas of what past?
  Thank you very much

  I don't know what the problem is here and, in my view, should not be so important to you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and to talk with him. Explain the situation. You will get may be new notebook. Otherwise, please contact the nearest authorized maintainer and let check your laptop.

  The laptop is brand new and it should work. Please do not wait too long.

• Satellite A660 how can I turn off the light on the power button?

  Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.

  However mind, lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
  In the Bios, I could disable the led lighting, but the on/off switch is always lighting, which distracts me when I'm working.
  This laptop has two power LED, so the lighting power is in my view, unnecessary.

  My question is: How can I turn off the light on the power button?

  Hello

  The power button led cannot be disabled.
  It s there if the laptop is turned on.
  The lighting in the BIOS option only controls the multimedia keys...

  LED power button fix

  Toshiba
  Satellite P300-h-13

  By Thom
  Wijtenburg

  First of all, I would like to
  say you that I came up with this correction, after a clean reinstall of the
  Vista. (I used the serial number of windows on the bottom of my laptop for)
  install, so it's the same license as the OEM of windows and therefore
  Tout_a_fait legal.) After the clean install and installation of all the
  the drivers listed on the site of toshiba LED power button (also
  known as the mute button) and the CDDVD butten (mediaplayer button)
  stopped working. After browsing around forums toshiba I found
  this case, I removed the support button utility that the mute button has acted as
  a mute button. Also the mediaplayer button worked fine. Reinstalled
  the utility support for the button and they have stopped working. After many
  toshiba calls (I think about 5-6 in one day) they opened a
  support ticket for me, because they (team support callcenter)
  could not find a solution. Following their advice, I did the
  next to try to make it work:

  * Don't have a system restore with the restore DVD.
  * Do you have an another clean install.
  * Install the drivers in various ways (alphabetically reversed by alphabetical order and order of collection DVD).
  * update my BIOS.
  * downloaded a 'new' version of value added package (which was the same thing I already had).
  * installed the VAP with and without technical support button utility, no changes.
  After doing everything
  This, they said that they did not know the cause of my problem (at the beginning
  they thought it was hardware related). They came with a possible
  anwer:

  "It is."
  possible that we removed some features of windows vista
  operating system so that our one utility for device drivers
  work. In addition, we do support the configuration, that we delivered
  When you bought the laptop. »

  Now of course, I have
  understand that. I waited allmost a week, no response. Neither
  by electronic mail, or by phone, so I decided to google more
  on the problem.

  After a certain
  some research on Toshiba forum and Googling I came across
  a thread that sayd I must first install the utility 'control '.
  and the button press. Unfortunately what it did not work.

  Then, all of a sudden
  Windows displays a message saying that I should install the TOSHIBA.
  "ACPI-based value-added general use and logical device driver.
  I clicked on the provided download link, and the VFR package was a newer version
  version of the support page for my laptop which is held. So I downloaded
  This PPV version 1.17 and installed it. After a reboot, the buttons
  still did not work. But at least I got the file HWSetup.exe, where I
  could turn the LED off. Look into the button holder utility, I have
  saw that there where buttons like "Toshiba Assist" which my
  the laptop model is not.

  Navigation
  through the toshiba forum I found a file named ButtonSettings.ini, in
  which I can manually configure special keys. After a google
  search on the name of the file, I found that all the buttons list
  in a registry key. I saw the "Dimmer" file using the button
  folder and clicked on it. Poof... lights went out. Click again,
  Poof... lights turn it back on. So I replaced the wrong button definitions
  with CDDVD and dimmer values. Saved my changes but is not a restart.
  Opens the support button utility and change the path of
  MediaPlayer (who was always there to a previous definition) to
  Dimmer.exe. checked to see if the button CDDVD pointed
  MediaPlayer and restarted. When everything has been started, I pushed on the
  button again and presto... MUTE lights off. Pushed again, poof...
  lights. Pressed the mediaplayer button and started to mediaplyer. I have
  has been very happy when everything worked.
  Now that you
  know the story, here's the fix.

  * Difficulty: *.
  * Download and install the new VAP from here: [http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/util_tvap_26084A.exe]
  * Choose Edit in the installation and make sure that everything is checked
  * do NOT restart after the installation.
  * Download the ini fix and the fixed registry
  * Uncompress its contents into your working folder.
  * Copy the ini into C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TBS (where C: is the drive of program files)
  * In this same folder, start the exe called TBSbtnSt.exe
  * do NOT restart, click on 'no' in the dialog box.
  * Double click on the registry key, and then click 'Yes' to add to the registry
  * Then open the button support utility by clicking Start-> Toshiba-> utilities-> Toshiba assist. Help go to optimilization and click support button tohiba
  * If the path or the description is disabled, fix, and then click Save. See also if the CD/DVD mediaplayer points.
  * Restart you computer now.
  * If everything is is well past your special buttons should work.

  * WARNING: *.

  It worked for
  me, with my Toshiba Satellite P300-h-13, edition windows Home premium 32-bit.
  It should work on any model of 6 buttons with the mediaplayer and the mute
  buttons. I am in no way responsible for any damage that may arise
  If the fix does not work correctly. There is absolutely no. GARUENTEE
  It will work for you. If the answer is Yes, he does, and if it's not it
  doesn't work.
