• 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 - does not start

  My Satellite A660 rebooted a few times and then it turned off and now it will not start at all, and register there even the packed power connected. It does not work, any help would be appreciated

  Hi liam42,

  What happen exactly when you try to start your laptop (press the power button)? You can access the BIOS configuration, or what exactly?
  You see errors on screen?

  No doubt this might help you:
  Remove the battery and the AC adapter. Then wait at least an hour and then reconnect the two and try to start your laptop.

• Satellite A660 frozen during Initial start-up

  Hi all, bought just a new Satellite A660. I connected to power and turned on to go through the quick installation guide where it says that it would take up to 2 hours. Seeed all fine questions that came. After about 30 minutes, the display shows the office and just sitting there. I've gone for a few minutes and came back to a blank screen. The little blue directed energy was on and battery flashing led (I guess that cherging) and the PC on conduit has been slowly flashes. Not wanting to touch the laptop because of the 'up to 2.5 hours' for the initial commissioning declaration on the quick installation guide - I left during this period, at the end + over the period of 2.5 hours, the laptop just sitting there not doing nothing as shown above.

  I did something wrong - I have no idea?

  Help.

  You can start your laptop now?
  What happens when you press the button walk / stop?

• Satellite A660-158 - cannot start Windows

  Toshiba Satellite A660-158

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660-158. It has served me less than a week. I think it's the broken hard drive.

  My problem:
  Once I start the computer, it started and has worked for a while, but suddenly, there was an error reading that I didn't have the time. Computer has been restarted. And does not load... Until the boot mode does not reach. But the initial test (with logo) succeeded. Takes a long time and finally gives an error:
  -----
  Cannot start Windows. Maybe it was because of the recent small difference is the hardware or software configuration. To fix this error:
  1. Insert your Windows installation disc, restart the computer (the complete transmission wasn't)
  2. choose the language settings, and then click Next.
  3. Select "repair your computer".
  If this disk is missing, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer (he turned and said to wear to the DEPOT, but I do not have this feature).

  Status: 0xc000000e

  Details: Unable to start menu, since the required device is inaccessible.

  Hey,.

  And why do you think the hard drive is faulty?
  Have you ever tried the repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory in a few minutes.

  Also if you have the Toshiba recovery disc you can also restore the factory of this disc. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. You need to do a few clicks only, installation with all the drivers and tools happen automatically.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

• How to start on Satellite A660 HARD drive recovery?

  I recently bought by Satellite A660 and the laptop has been infected with can of virus will start any program even couldn't do any disk recovery. So I try to read the FAQS and guidance that I tried to do the hard drive's default factory setting.

  I follow the directions "Press 0 & combination Power button" at the start of the hard disk to recover the system.

  Make a hard drive recovery system still ask for disks. Therefore, in this case there is no solution. Please let me know how I can do hard drive recovery system.

  Thank you

• Satellite A660 - will not start initialize drive HARD failure

  Hello
  first of all thank you for your time.

  Model: Satellite A660 (PSAW3A-07U00R)

  The problem started yesterday, the computer has been going slowly as a closed application, so I held the off button until the pc is turned off. When I restarded the laptop, it went to a screen saying: start windows normally or repair Windows (recommended)

  When started normally it hangs just a blank screen, repair Windows recommends a system restore to a previous point that did not work. As it crashes again. I tried pressing F8 and boot in safe mode, but even once it just hangs. Then, after having repeatedly tried safe mode and another system restore the computer then hangs when I press F8. After that, the computer passes in front of the Toshiba logo with F2 and F12 options screen (which still works) and then it rises the initialization has failed then shuts off and comes with start-up bootfailed failed with a few numbers and letters, then it goes to a small box entitled menu starting with 4 options. These are some
  Toshiba MK6465GSX HDD/SSD
  CD/DVD MAST * UJ141ES ABD - CMB
  FLOPPY DRIVE
  LAN

  If I press ESC, it passes through the loop of bootfailed and ends at the same screen, if I press on enter "HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX" then he quickly returned to the screen and at the bottom it says [HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX] failed.

  I do not understand why it has gotten worse over time. Can anyone think why it occurred and more importantly, how can I get my pc working again? Note: held 0 then start does nothing for me atm

  Best regards, Matthew

  Hello Matthew,.

  To be honest, I agree with Akuma and it could be related to a dysfunction of HDD the error you described, but ensure 100% there s no software problem, you should try the Toshiba Recovery disk Windows installation. Something may be confused until the Windows installation and recovery of files on the HARD drive, so it cannot be started. Recovery disc will resolve this problem by formatting the HARD drive and restoring the settings box.

  If it still doesn t it work s hardware malfunction but an authorized service provider can solve these problems under warranty for free. So just contact the guy and ask for help. ;)

  If you have other questions or already solved the problem, please let us know!

• Satellite A660 - 11 M: does not start with 8 GB of RAM, but works with 6 GB

  Satellite A660 - 11 M:

  I upgraded my RAM to 4 GB (2x2gb) up to 8 GB (2x4gb). When I start the computer I can see in the BIOS it reads 8 GB of RAM. However, when starting, it does not go beyond the white screen BACK (just before Windows starts).

  If I delete one of the 4 GB & replace it with a 2 GB (so I have 6 GB total) it starts ok.

  Anyone know how I can get it to work with 8 GB of RAM?

  Hey,.

  To be honest, I've never heard of RAM SanMax modules...
  In my opinion the problem is related to your RAM modules is not compatible to your laptop or defective.

  You can test it with high-quality Kingston or prétestées authorized service modules?

• Satellite A660 will not start again until I turn safe mode

  Just buy the toshiba Satellite A660: I tell the story to compensate closely in my answer, I hope...

  I just buy new, run the Setup for first use. When its up and running only in that day, that I noticed it start to hang up when I plugged the drive external hard for some Installer (adobe lightroom).

  Its still very well, but when I disable it, it does not start again until I have run in safe mode so I can save some files and rerun recovery.

  This time on 64-bit. With its completion of its process, this works well for a few hours.
  He fell faster now, maybe because its on 64-bit? (any recommendation if its 32 or 64 bit) specifications: i5, 4ram, 1 g ddcatd graphics, family win7 premium,...

  Now when I turn it off it never early return time windows say... Startup Repair. ..
  I have let it run from this morning till now they can't always find what's the problem (I'm refernce the loptop).

  So no idea about whats goin?

  > He fell faster now, maybe because its on 64-bit? (any recommendation if its 32 or 64 bit) specifications: i5, 4ram, 1 g ddcatd graphics, family win7 premium,...

  64-bit operating system is better if your computer supports 4 GB or more of RAM.
  Why? Because 32-bit Win recognizes max 3.2 GB, even if more RAM is available.
  It's limitation of 32-bit; regardless of what OS it is; Linux, Win XP, Vista, Win7, etc.
  This is the reason why the 64 bit OS are so popular in the last time

  With regard to the issue of the BONE;
  I recommend that you run a disk recovery again... This means that you need to reinstall the OS usign the option recovery Toshiba;
  During the turning on the laptop press F8, choose fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery

• Satellite A660-155 freezes and needs of startup repair or does not start

  Hello, in the middle of the month of August, I bought a satellite a660-155, PSAW0E-00U00DEN S/N 5A214647K.
  It is registered under warranty until the Aug2011.
  After less than a week, it refused to start.
  I rang support and they recommended that I use the recovery discs to restore to factory condition. I did and spent the next 3 nights reload software and my backup disk data.

  Since then he refuses sometimes to start the hard drive with a relative error that it cannot rfind and then ask which drive to boot from. If I select the hard drive, it starts later. Sometimes when running he crashes and then restarts.

  Last night, after that it had not been used for a few days, I woke up he "sleep" mode. I logged on okay, but then the blue logo 'circly' comes on, spinning away happily, and nothing else (just for logging on the text). After 30 minutes, I pressed the power button to turn off because the cell phone was totally insensitive.
  On commissioning, I got a white screen for 30 minutes, then the Startup Repair option.
  I launched it and check start lasted almost an hour and an hour, then he said, trying to repair. After a few hours, I left and went to bed. This morning, he showed the guest of logon and connected properly, as if nothing had ever happened.

  I lost confidence in Toshiba laptops, (I am responsible for computer SCIENCE) and I've never seen this problem before on a so-called quality machine. I only ise it fot simple e-mail/internet/word documents.

  All I can conclude is that there is little material defective (hard drive) that stops responding intermittently.

  I sent support at 07:00 this morning, but have not had a response.

  Can you help me? This machine needs ideally replace or repair collection, back in working condition 100% reliable. Could someone please contact me to see where I go from here?
  Under the law of consumption, you have a duty to rectify my sad situation, that the flaw exists again.

  Thank you

  Thanks for the info!
  Seems to replace the HARD drive would solve!

• Satellite A660 - keyboard and mouse start clicking on self

  Hi all

  I bought a Satellite A660 yesterday, and he begins to show a problem with the keyboard and mouse as well. The two begin clicking one for himself, and after some time, stops, but again. I did all windows 7 updates but didn't solve.

  Anyone know what I can do? Regardz Alex

  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 A660-1FH 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 - do not find external DVD drive

  Hey guys. Newbie displaying in total despair of and needing help! I posted in other forums without success. I bought a Samsung SH-D162D DVD drive in a USB enclosure to connect to my Satellite A660 via USB.

  I can't get Windows 7 to find! When I plug in the USB cable, the ball comes up to say that it has been installed (sometimes), I can see it on for about 1 or 2 minutes then he falls. It is not listed in my hardware or anything. Its not found in disk management or my devices, so it is not a case to change the drive letter - I can't find the drive to change. I also tried to find upper and lower settings in regedit. Could not find them so couldn't remove them as suggested in other posts of this nature.

  It is set to master, the IDE connector and power connectors are very good. Its got to be a cause of problem of Windows 7 it comes very briefly. In the minute or 2 sound, I can't do anything with it. It crashes right although it will open and close. I've google it and can't find anything. Mainly of registry issues, but they did not help.

  Ive also connected to another laptop with XP and had no problems so I know the DVD Rom works very well and all the cables are ok. Ive tried all 4 USB ports on my laptop and also disabled all the parameters of energy. All with no luck. And I also all Windows 7 update.

  This is exactly what happens to the power out of the Cabinet.

  1. I connect the USB cord then turn on the enclosure.
  2 - I quickly click Start, and I can see the DVD Rom E player beside my computer laptop dvd rom.
  3 - the green bar above starts to fill to the top, from left to right and gets to half way then suddenly disappears icon of DVD Rom and makes the green bar.
  4. He then flashes up in computers laptops DVD Rom icon with a player of Local E drive, but only for a fraction of a second.
  5. sometimes a balloon comes up saying peripheral installation, then the installed device successfully... but not every time.

  And that's all. I'm at a total loss and the cant work, so any help is really appreciated!

  Hi Smee,

  So if you have already connected the external hard drive on another computer, and it worked correctly, it seems to be a driver or compatibility between your external DVD drive problem and and your Satellite A660

  It will be connected to the port USB then you tried to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager? After that, you must restart your computer and the USB ports will be recognized automatically from the Device Manager. In addition, I would also try updating the chipset driver. New version, which you can download on the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Have you also tested other devices on your A660 if they work properly?

• BT does not work on Satellite A660-13D

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-13D, and since a few days, Bluetooth does not work.
  In device manager it tells me everything is executed, but BT does not open.
  Can someone help me with this?

  Message was edited: assignment has been translated

  Hello

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. What you need to do is to activate the BT module correctly and software BT must start properly.
  Are you using the original operating system that you got with your laptop satellite? BT Stack (software) is installed on your machine?
