  Hi all

  The drop down menu that appears when I pressed on the FN key disappeared as well as when I turn of the backlit using FN + Z, light under the keyboard just turns off but the light beneath logo buttons on it near the power buttons and satellite does not turn off. How can I solve this?

• 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.

• Official Satellite A660 cant get and iTunes-64 updates moved

  Hello

  I've had my laptop for about 3 weeks now and have a few problems that maybe someone here can help with :)
  It's a Toshiba Satellite A660 Windows 7 64 bit, with all the options of support authorized toshiba - tempro, health bulletin board etc.

  Problem 1:
  The chips toshiba Board asked me to update a load of stuff - Bios, display drivers, wireless drivers etc.
  The only update (seems... it did not freeze at least) worked was the update of the broadcom wireless driver.
  So, for the update of the display, I download the file, unzip it and nothing is passes - I have tried to run the tinstallwb.exe.
  I am asked if I want the program to change the hard drive, I say Yes... and that's the last I've heard of it... tried for hours to make it work, but I look at a desktop computer without activity. In the folder to archive, if I try and run the setup.exe (the nvidia part) it says that no valid nvidia hardware has been detected.

  Problem 2:
  I tried the bios update, Bulletin Board asked me to install... it didn't, didn't want to install.

  Problem 3:
  I spend most of the time the laptop turned off, because it freezes on the screen of closing...

  Problem 4:
  Prob not a toshiba problem - but I can not install Quicktime or iTunes... the installer just freezes (it goes in not responing well) - I left runningn elaptop th for about 4 hours yesterday, trying to install itunes 64-bit until I had to kill the task (and turn it off, like shutdown does not work)

  Any ideas, I've given up trying to update the updates that the toshiba Council services told me to put up-to-date?
  I tried the update obvious everything I can, but the toshiba updates do not update :(
  Other software: MS Office and Outlook, firefox.

  Thanks for any help,

  Andy

  Hello

  (1) you can download all the drivers directly from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
  If you really need an update, then you must download the file, should save on the HARD drive should unzip the package and must be run setup.exe or should update the driver from Device Manager.

  (2) this is a HowTo doc on update of the BIOS:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=60
  If this is not possible, then your Windows operating system might be confused to the top and maybe you should get the phone before performing a BIOS update.

  (3) as suggested above; all these questions could be linked to the damaged operating system and maybe you need to reinstall the operating system to make it work again.

  (4) see point 3

• Satellite L300D - TEMPRO alert reader D capacity WARNING

  I have a Satellite L300D. It has been little used, but I get TEMPRO alert that says that "data stored on drive D has reached 75 percent or more capacity: space 149,01 GB total disk and disk space GB 37.73.»

  Can anyone tell what it is and I can do something to free disk space.
  I tried to find "Disk D" on the laptop without success-it is not mentioned in the backup/restore windows.
  Thank you very much

  In my opinion there is no reason to panic. This is just information and you must not take it so seriously. Continue to use the free space on the D partition. When the disk is full, you must find new option for backing up the data.
  For this application, you can buy external HARD drive and move all your important data to make the free space on the HARD drive for the use of every day.
  That's all!

  TEMPRO is application that runs in the background and informs the user about available updates or situation on your laptop. To be honest I don't use it at all because I know when the HARD drive is filled or not. I have Tempro removed from the system.

  My laptop works well and stable. So it works well I have need of updates.

  This drive letter and other parameters can just confuse you.
  Simply continue to use your laptop and be happy with it.

• Satellite A660-18 suspended and needs hard reboot

  My Satellite A660-18 crashes every two days about 2/3 times. I can't press ctrl + alt + del and the mouse does not move. I pressed the power button to restart manually. It started about two weeks after I got it in September. I watch a lot of videos online (and offline) and usually after the screen freezes / crashes, audio continues and extends. I thought that it was a problem with IE8, so I switched to Google Chrome, but it still continues. This occurs also in offline mode. Also, after my laptop crashes, the fan speeds up so I thought it was an overheating issue. I bought a carpet of cooling a few days ago, and the system still hangs. I don't know what to do now, can anyone help?

  Intel core i7 1.73 GHz q740
  4.00 GB ram
  64-bit operating system
  Windows 7
  NVIDIA Geforce 310 M 512 MB dedicated video memory

  Hello

  It's not easy to say what causes this but you should check different things;

  (1) reinstall the OS. Dirty registry entries affect the OS eth feature
  (2) clean OS using CCleaner
  (3) check the bars of memory. Run the test using a tool like memtest86 + or similar
  (4) check the HARD disk. You can use Drive Fitness Test, which is free.
  (5) update BIOS and other pilots like graphics card driver

  Good luck

• Satellite A660 - custom install from the recovery disk

  I like my windows costs. I do not have programs that I don't really need. I tried to uninstall some of them, but they always leave unexpected pieces behind them. So is there a way to stop the factory reset on A660 before installing drivers and other software. So I can install the readers updated and the programs I want to.

  I noticed that I can leave the program that installs Windows regarding the Office when using ctrl-alt-delete. Thing is that it will start again once the computer restarts then I have to remove this program from loading at the beginning upward. Can anyone share ideas?

  I would be really nice if Toshiba allows us to decide what kind of programs that we have in our computer.

  Satellite A660 97u model. Windows 7.

  Hey,.

  I put t think its bloatware. It s tools can you FN keys, webcam, etc. Laptop with a lot of material requires a lot of drivers and software. In addition, you also get a large number of tools that makes computing easier, like Toshiba Bulletin Board software, burning, etc.
  If you remove it n don't like this software, but it s kind of Toshiba to deliver these software with laptops.

  But to answer your question: custom installation is not possible because the recovery disk contains a ready image of factory settings, no single file.
  This is why you must use a Microsoft disc.

• Satellite A660/07U - problem install the nVidia for Win 7 64 bit driver

  A660/07U Windows 7 64 bit

  At first, I need to install this driver because apparently it will solve a problem with the current driver that is causing the computer freezes when booting with an external monitor as main display.

  I downloaded the Setup file of driver from the Toshiba web site and it's extraction ok but when I run the program it just then immediately quits without installing drivers.

  The Device Manager in windows seems not help either, because when I point to the extracted files it tells me that I already have the drivers, even if my current version of the driver is a lower number than the one downloaded.

  Restart made no difference.

  Any ideas/suggestions?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  It is a series of laptop Toshiba to THE.
  Where did you download the driver?

  Usually, you must choose the driver from this page:
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/notebooks/satellite/A660/psaw3a-07u00r/download?OS=25

  I recommend you to download and try to install it once more

• Satellite A660-07U - cannot install the new display driver

  When I got to my laptop, it wouldn't even start the box! So I googled how to get operational and it wouldn't install Windows 7 32 bit, so I installed Windows 7 64 bit and that worked.

  I am one of the users who is also having their laptop freeze on them at all times. I did the update to the Bios and it always does. So I decided to try to update the graphics drivers with new ones on this site, but it seems that they won't install. I got 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 first, I have Windows 7 64 bit installed in my laptop. But it cannot find the necessary material, I thought, he says its because my laptop is not a 3D version, should even elsewhere?

  So then I tried the 32 bit drivers and it says im using the wrong system operating system for these drivers.

  How about if some drivers I can use?

  Hello

  A moment I really t understand: why you have your own version of Windows 7?
  Usually by Satellite A660 is always equipped with operating system (Windows 7) and it s already preinstalled. This means that you can start your computer laptop out of the box and Windows 7 will begin. Therefore, you don't need an additional installation.
  And let me guess: you don t have created a right Toshiba Recovery disk?

  In any case, before update you the display driver you must remove the older version first. Then, restart your computer and install the latest version.

• Satellite A660 - how to enable the nVidia Optimus technology

  Hello

  Is there a solution to market the technoogy optimus in my notebook?
  I have intel i3 330 m and Geforce GT 330 M - and the two are bound by Optimus, but find it deosnt work at all :/

  No, my short model is Satellite A660 PSAW3E.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Announces AFAIK, Optimus technology is fully automatic, allowing you to experiment with longer battery life.

  Optimus whitepaper
  http://www.nvidia.com/object/LO_optimus_whitepapers.html

  But I guess you need the nVidia Driver from the original graphics card.
  The Toshiba driver is changed for mobile use. It supports thermal protection that protects the GPU from damage.
  Drivers graphic originals don't support such function.

  However, Toshiba laptops are equipped with an ECO utility and this tool allows you to save battery power as well.

• Satellite A660 - how to change the 32-bit system too 64 bit

  Howdy!

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A660 i7-2630QM with windows 7 Home premium.

  My problem is Toshiba includes instructions for the first start upward, and he said: I can choose between the 32-bit operating system and 64-bit operating system, but when I turned on the first time he didn't give me any option/choice.

  Now ive got 6 GB memory and can use 4 GB because its too 32-bit system set is an easy way to change it because I don't have a windows disc, all the software is preloaded?

  Hello

  I think that this info is mentioned in the user manual.
  First of all, you can create a with the image of Toshiba recovery disc.
  You must create this disk using the preinstalled software called Toshiba recovery disc creator (or creative recovery Toshiba).

  In addition, there should be a possibility to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive.
  During the recovery of HARD drive, installation should provide an option that allows you to choose between the 32 and 64 bit.

  But just one question: what A660-xxx you have exactly?

• 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 boots up to the black screen with blinking cursor not upper left

  My new Satellite A660-10W sometimes (not always), when turned on, boots up to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left. If I stop by pressing the power button, it stops immediately. I then wait a few seconds and press the power button again and then it usually starts very well.

  Could it be updated during this process and I'll be more patient (usually wait a few minutes) before shutting down when this happens?

  Usually something like that shouldn't happen. Satellite A660 is no different from all the other models and OS must be loaded shortly after Toshiba welcome screen appears.
  Do you use your laptop with factory settings or you have changed something?
