• Substitute Satellite A660 - HARD drive failure - questions

  My laptop A660 tohiba with 650 GB drive hard as he begins says: cannot start but nevertheless starts.
  So I think it's time to replace it. I have a few questions.

  1. What is the exact model of hard drive I need to ask? SATA?
  2.i said only, I could get 500 GB or 1 TB hard drives Toshiba, my machine would support a 1 to?

  Help, please.

  We must look for SATA 2.5 HARD disk and my knowledge, any size must be supported from the controller SATA isn't really limited to a particular size.
  That is why must be too 500 GB same 1 TB.

  But even if the controller SATA isn't limited to a certain size of HARD drive, there is always a small risk of compatibility problems between the BIOS and the new device.

• Satellite A660 HDD failure

  Hi all
  I've had the laptop for someone to look at.
  The laptop model is TOSHIBA SATELLITE A660, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
  This is not my laptop, I can't tell if the person has been using some software dengerous like spyware or any other, but I suppose that it is very likely.

  + WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? +
  There is a problem with the HARD disk, a message all the time, SMART 'failure predicted on hard drive '. PC is running, but slow, and not always to start Windows. Has more no guarantee on the computer, the store where it was purchased no longer exists. I don't have a recovery CD and Windows is stored in the recovery partition.
  The owner of the PC complained of strange noises from PC for a while, but I didn't hear myself.

  + WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR? +
  I searched the forums for an answer, but I have not found.
  I tried to look at the HARD drive, it is stable, not loose and seems fixed correctly.
  First thing I tried was the disk check, but it wasn't even to start. When I restarted the PC once I gave a chkdsk command, there was a black screen with info, it will start the process in 10,9,8... 1 sec, he stuck to 1 sec and never begun the process. After some time I left he thinks, PC off by itself (AC adapter / CC was pulged in all time).
  I tried to find the computer, I brought to the factory settings, but it did not help. The problem is always present and laptop is terribly slow. BTW, I had to try twice, once there was an error: error F3-FFCC-0006, I discovered, that the error appears when the AC adapter / CC was missing, but it is pluged in all the time.
  I brought the BIOS to its factory settings, which is probably not relevant.

  + WHAT I WANT TO KNOW? +
  Is there a possible way to repair the HARD drive?
  OK, I agree that I probably need to buy a new HARD drive, there is only one thing I would like to know. How can I get WIN7 installed without the CD? I know that I have the CD key and license, but how do I get the CD? I do purchuase CD from Microsoft? Purchuased of TOSHIBA recovery CD solve my problem?

  Thanks for any help.
  I will appreciate it asap, cause this laptop is required by the owner of that an option to send the laptop to the service and wait weeks for some 'help' is not an option.

  > Is there a way to repair the HARD drive?

  No, what you can do is to repair / fix the bad sectors on the HARD drive, but if there is a physical problem, it will not help

  > How can I get WIN7 installed without the CD? I know that I have the CD key and license, but how do I get the CD?

  The key belongs to the image of Toshiba that I n t think that it will work to activate the system installed using MS Win 7 disc
  However, you can download Windows 7 image of page Microsoft (google for it)
  Then you can burn the image to disk using Nero or other burning application supporting iso burning and could use this disc to install Windows 7

  Otherwise, you can order the Toshiba recover drive here:

• 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 - Bluetooth problem - disappeared from the bar of the State etc.

  Dear all,

  frustrated newbie.

  Bluetooth has disappeared from the system on my Satellite A660 tray and I can't work out how to get it back.
  It worked a few months ago, but since I don't use it everyday,
  I did not notice when he disappeared.

  I tried the fsquirt.exe thing, but the icon opens a window that does nothing (it seems to me that bluetooth is off but I can't find where to turn it on and Fn + F8 does not work).

  I have downloaded the driver atheros, which is extracted to a temporary folder and then does nothing.
  I think I need to uninstall - reinstall but do not know how to proceed.

  Any ideas appreciated.

  arghh

  Arfur

  All this is a bit complicated on your laptop. I assume that stick Toshiba BT (BT software) is always pre-installed on your machine. Can you please check?

  Using the FN key combination you can toggle WIFI and BT. When you say that it does not work how to understand this? Can you turn on WLAN on/off? BT option IS missing? You can use the WLAN button placed between the keyboard and display (function keys)?

  Please check such fundamental things in first and post more details. Later we continue to discuss reinstalling drivers.

• Satellite A660-047 - lack of WAN Miniport drivers

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-047 PSAW3C-047017 running Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit.

  I just downloaded Norton Ghost 15 ISO, created the installation CD, installed Ghost and ran the validation pilot of the installation CD. I received the following message:

  > Following devices have no drivers in the Symantec Recovery Disk.

  It seems a little research on Google, it's more than a level higher than a real hardware device interface. I don't really know what it's for, or what is the probability I will miss it in the case of a recovery. Should I spend time worry right now?

  The thread said http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/wan-miniport-sstp-driver-problem/f83493ae-8127-47dd-a7b7-7e5b3460b6a6 should not 'more often' but I was wondering if exceptions could be encountered during recovery (when I want to use WiFi to browse and restore my system to the State non - factory, as well as to make diagnoses on a HARD drive may be bad).

  Hello

  AFAIK Miniport WAN is a part of the Ethernet controller and you will need to install the LAN / Wlan driver.
  You should go to control panel-> network-> Lan-> properties control.
  Here, you should check if all protocols are installed.

  But as you have already said: it of not really a necessary point

• Satellite A660-12E - freezes with graphical objects

  Hello

  Here's my problem:

  I bought a Satellite A660-12th. Was obtained last Saturday, transported with great caution.

  The problem is that when I use a program dependent CG as a game, the games freezes quickly, even in the menus, with the screen objects, symptom of failure of CG (that happened in the menus of TF2, alien swarm and all playing Plain SIght). When Windows (with aero and transparency), goes on the internet, watching movies, everything is ok. No problem when using 3DSmax and Mudbox, but does not check since the last time the problem happened.
  In addition, the problem does not occur the first time that I start a game. After a long series of the computer (I use a cooling station and check the temperature: never more than 55 ° c) to download a game on steam, for example.

  I tried to install my own version of windows 7 (64 bit professional), updated the cg driver, installed a selection of programs from ninite.com, but the problem is back.

  Since then, I am a student with low resources and worked all summer to get a laptop, I am a little upset. :/
  Anyone has a solution, or should I contact the customer as soon as possible?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Can you explain what CG and CG pilot mean, please?

  I can only tell you that it is important to use the original display driver Toshiba place drivers nVidia because they are pre-tested and overheating protection. So be sure that Toshiba display the most recent driver is installed.

• Satellite A660 starts

  Hi guys,.

  First of all, I hope it's in the right place as im completely new to this!

  OK the problem,

  I own a Toshiba satellite A660-1DW and tonight it will not start, well I say it won't start, but nothing doesn't appear on the screen, let me develop:

  Press power it / off button > portable lights > runs for about 30 seconds > nothing appears on the screen - screen remains black or the same State as it is when it is off > laptop turns off by itself

  That's it, I don't know what to do! Is it a fault with the screen? Is - fixable? I have a lot of files/documents, I need, I need a new laptop complete?

  Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  Hello

  You must understand that on this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but if you didn t did something that may be responsible for what to a hardware failure, especially if the laptop turns off by itself.

  Unfortunately I can't say with certainty what the problem, but my advice to you is: contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and to check your laptop. Using specific diagnostic tools, they can find out what's wrong here.

  The files are saved on the HARD drive and all you have to do is to get external 2.5 external enclosure and connect other portable devices such as external device. You will have access to everything that you data.

• Satellite A660 3rd party WLAN does not work

  Hello

  I had a problem with my WLAN adapter so I used to replace.
  Currently, I have installed card Broadcom Dell Wireless 1397.
  It has been defined by Device Manager and drivers have been installed.
  But it is impossible to turn on the WLAN.
  When I click the buttons activate WLAN, it just back to the OFF position.
  I also use Windows 10.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I own Satellite A660 - 16 M. Initially, it was equipped with Broadcom BCM4318 WLAN card. I decided to replace it with an Intel Centrino N-6230 dual band with 3.1 Bluetooth card. Replacement process was fairly easy, the problem was to make the new card working group. I use Windows 10 as an upgrade to Windows 7 Home. As you can imagine that the utility flash cards stopped working after the upgrade of the system, but Windows 10 has managed to cope with BCM4318 since the original drivers and Windows 7 registry entries have been always working in the background. The WLAN button above the keyboard worked, was so orange the LED in the front of the laptop.

  Situation changed completely with the new Intel Centrino 6230 N WLAN card. Despite he properly recognized by device with all the necessary drivers automatically responsible manager, I was unable to have the WLAN button and the LED orange work which is to turn on the radio (the card WLAN itself, its possibilities of wifi). The weird part is that the Bluetooth worked without any problems.

  The solution was to put a small piece of electrical tape on the 20 PIN of the new WLAN card to prevent WLAN DISABLE State presented to the motherboard. So RADIO WLAN is always on, so Windows 10 own wifi tools were able to switch on the WIFI network and... I see now all (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) wireless networks. Of course the WLAN button and the orange LED still haven't work (it seems that it is somehow hardcoded to support only the original BCM4318) but I don't love about it. The most important is that I'm now a lot more capable wireless network inside my laptop card.

  I hope that the solution above works in your case, 8stack. Watch the attached files to see what she looked like, as in my case.

• 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 - 11 M - drive HARD recovery is not possible

  Hello.

  I bought the satellite A660 - 11 M two months ago. A week before, he started to cause a problem that when turned on, boot HARD drive is not possible in the first place and boot priority option page is shown. Only after that I have reset a start command, it started.

  To resolve this issue for good, I decided to format the HARD drive using the HDD recovery procedure. Unfortunately, I had to cancel this procedure after 2 minutes, and the start-up is not possible at all since then. He continues to display the message "Boot failure" etc. and staging to the BIOS screen. So, I can not access the recovery procedure even if I keep the F8 key. I am afraid that a recovery on the HARD drive partition can have been damaged due to the forced cancellation.

  I have not created a DVD of my own laptop recovery, and the only option seems to buy one from Toshiba (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx). Before you order a recovery disc, I would ask if my problem can be solved using the disc. Anyone who has experience with the recovery disc could advise me? Another question is to know if a standard warranty let me send to Toshiba ASP? Thank you for reading.

  Hello

  > Another question is to know if a standard warranty let me send to Toshiba ASP?
  Warranty only covers hardware issues.

  Question you seems to be related to a software problem.
  Therefore, I doubt that installation of the OS would be covered by the warranty.
  You should order the recovery disk and must attempt to define the notebook back to factory settings.
  Then you should check the features of the laptop.

  Good luck

• Upgrade Win 8 to Satellite A660 - 18 PSAW3E Wizard

  I have a Satellite A660-18, part No. PSAW3E which, according to the instructions on the site of Toshiba UK, I've upgraded to Windows 8.

  Windows 8 tells me that I need to re-installToshiba Disc Creator and according to the website of UK from Toshiba, that I should be able to do this, (and whatever it takes), thanks to the Toshiba Upgrade Wizard.

  So I follow the link on the site of the United Kingdom, and my Satellite A660-18 is not listed. Support page which I am bound to the United States seems to be only for drivers and does not in any case seem to list the upgrade wizard.

  I tried a search on the US site and found and installed the upgrade wizard, but when I ran I got a message "this upgrade wizard does not support your region."

  Can someone help me with this?

  I have updated from other computers, (plu sort of it), without any problem whatsoever. but this one has pulling me my hair out.

  Thanks in advance.

  Peter

  Hi mate,

  The upgrade of Windows 8 Wizard is available only for supported laptops Windows 8 models.

  Your laptop does not seem to be earning 8 supported because it does not appear on this page from Toshiba:
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/JSP/checkWindows8Compatible.do?service=EU

  Plus I found a Toshiba AU on the driver Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3E UE page

  So download this message because you are using the wizard, which is not released from this unit.

  Hello

  Here, you can page warranty Toshiba Australian:

  You can find the statements of warranty for Toshiba products purchased in Australia.

  As far as I know the standard warranty is valid and valid for 12 months in Australia only.
  If you are outside Australia and you want to use the guarantee you need a limited international warranty that applies to all services outside the Australia and the New Zealand.
