Satellite A660 - Why do I need to stop when I want to restart?

First of all, let me say I am Portuguese and my English is not perfect.

So, I recently bought a _Satellite A660-1CJ_ and I was very happy with her in the early days. While some problems began to occur. However, with the help other posts in this forum, most of the problems have disappeared: all of them, with the exception of 2. I will mention one now and the other later (after I know a little more about what actually happens).
So, here's my problem:
When I _shutdown_ my PC and then run it, everything goes as usual and start windows.
However, if I try to _restart_ my PC (in the menu of windows - instead to turn off and then turn on) it gets stuck with "Innovation leader TOSHIBA" or something like that. Nothing happens. I have to press the power button and it turbs quicky offshore once again, then I start and is normally boots.

If anyone knows how to fix this please help me.
Thank you...

Hello

I can t he understand. I also have Satellite A660 before me for 2 months and everything works perfectly, no problems at all. I must say it s one of the best phones I have ever had.

When stop you the laptop, how long it takes until it start to himself?

Have you disabled correctly this problem s BIOS wake LAN in the BIOS?
Also, try to reset the BIOS to default settings.

If you have connected an external equipment, you must remove them. I can imagine that an external device causes the start if you need to delete all.

  • Satellite A660 - 13p (PSAW3E-01T00PPL) - Upper keys stopped working

    I installed Windows 7 64-bit with all the drivers. Everything worked fine, but recently stopped working the high keys (eco, WiFi, volume, backlight). Allows only a permutation of Windows. Why?

    I reinstalled value-added 1.3.4 package but is not nothing changed

    Sorry for my English =)))

    Hey,.

    I m not Satellite A660 owner but generally if you reinstall package of added value, the bright buttons should start working again. But the most important is that you remove the old version of VAP first, before installing the latest version. You must also run CCleaner after uninstalling to remove old registry keys.

    Last but not least also check the BIOS. In the BIOS Setup you can enable/disable these buttons and illumination.

  • 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 A660-18 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?

    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 - 11 M stuck in a loop when installing recovery

    Hi all.

    I am now under a procedure of recovery for A660 - 11M. I used a bought at Toshiba Recovery CD.
    Everything was going well until the recovery is stuck in the loop of ' * now System Performance Rating *'.

    I found a similar case, where a person has solved problem of forced reboot. I did, too, but when he turned, the loop began.

    I wonder if there is anyway to stop this notation. It does not seem very important ultimately.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You must re-run the HARD drive recovery.
    This means you must turn on the device
    -Press F8
    -then choose fix my computer
    -Then choose HARD drive recovery and
    -Retrieve the State of the box.

  • Why do I need "Promiscuous" Mode when you use multiple vSwitches and a bridge?

    Hello guys,.

    5.5 ESXi running.

    I created two vSwitches and putting multiple virtual machines in each vSwitch. I have a CentOS VM with two network cards, one in each vSwitch. I configured the CentOS VM to work as a bridge. I could spend between devices on a vSwitch pings, but ping has no devices on a vSwitch devices on the other (through the CentOS acting as a bridge). The ARP requests have been sent across the bridge, but have never had sent answers ARP. I checked around online and someone recommended to enable Promiscuous Mode. I activated the Promiscuous Mode (changing to refuse to accept) on the two vSwitches (which is then applied to the change to all virtual machines). You can read more about that here: VMware KB: how "Promiscuous" mode operates on the virtual level switch and portgroup

    Now all of a sudden, everything works.

    My question is: why?

    I think that I don't want to Promiscuous Mode unless it must be such that it will result in more traffic to each VM it had reached before. I don't really understand why I need to authorize this change, and any help would be nice!

    Without promiscuous mode, vSwitch and port group will only transmit traffic VMs (MAC addresses) that are directly related to the port groups, he will not learn the MAC addresses that, in your case, are the other side of the bridge. The "Promiscuous" mode, all traffic is sent to each virtual machine on the vSwitch and port group and it's virtual machine to decide what to do with the network packets. As you have already mentioned, this isn't a parameter that you want to apply to a large number of virtual machines. For this reason, you can create a second group of ports on the vSwitch with only of CentOS virtual machine and activate the "Promiscuous" mode on only this group port rather than the vSwitch.

  • Why do I need iTunes game when I music Apple

    I have a Mac, the iPhone, the iPod (by car) and and iPad. Since a long time I have I tunes game to get the same songs on all devices. Now, I also have music from Apple. Why should I continue with the Match most of the songs are available in the cloud?

    Trying to save a little money!

    They are not the same. iTunes game is a music cloud storage service where you can transfer your music, but also to have it appear on your devices without having to load the library on each device, thus saving space on your device.

    Apple's music is a purchase of the music service.

  • Reverse the reading needs to stop when a trigger of reading exist... starts playback instead of stopping...

    So, I have a set of animation, and when he finished a button appears. A click on this button cancels the timeline it start where it starts.

  • Satellite A660-158 want covers do not

    Since I bought the laptop (17.09.2010) I'm not using the recovery option. But once I want to use them he does not leave. Not on F8, not on F12, not on F11, not on 0 (zero). The utility called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator tell me it's something wrong with the hard disk drivers, but I do not install the disk drivers, they are original.

    Anyway I have install the clean Windows 7 from the MSDN DVD and use my number series, all is well here, but the ECO button want does not. All buttons works fine but not touch ECO. It will beep, but is not and the Eco utility (program and all the drivers installed). Finally, with the score HDDRECOVERY all right - it is the first partition on the disk and hidden.

    Why I can't start the recovery? I am now pressed a lot a lot of buttons one by one, but recovery not starting not not... :(

    > Why I can't start the recovery?
    Your answer is:
    >.. .i install Windows 7 clean from the MSDN DVD and use my serial number
    When you install own OS the created recovery options Toshiba and bootloader is rewritten, so there is no way to start the HARD drive recovery process because the option fix my computer in advanced startup option will be missing.

    In the history I n t understand the first part. When you get the new Satellite A660 you will have factory settings. When you start for the first time you will be able to create using recovery disk pre-installed Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. Have you created this disk?
    By default, recovery image is saved on a small partition of HARD drive. It is not visible in windows Explorer, but in the disk management options and if you change something here, this Toshiba tool will be not have full access to this small partition.

  • Satellite Pro L10: CMOS clock stops when the OS is not running

    Hello

    We know a reason why the cmos clock would stop when the operating system does not (phone off), the laptop is 18 months old, I've updated the bios tries to give him a good boost, but no effect, he was also in charge for 24 hours.
    Any advice would be great.

    See you soon
    Paul

    Hello

    Usually if the BIOS date/time is wrong and always changes, the RTC battery which is mounted on the motherboard fails.
    In this case the CMOS battery needs to be changed or maybe only removed for awhile

    If your laptop is 18 months, the guarantee must be valid.
    Generally if you have registered on the page of Toshiba notebook the warranty covers all repairs for about 2 years (24 months).

    In this case, I would recommend contacting ASP in your country, because the technician must be able to solve this problem very easily.

  • Need new keyboard for Satellite A660

    Hello

    I need to get a new keyboard to replace the one in my laptop Toshiba Satellite because some keys stopped working.

    My computer is a Toshiba Satellite A660-PSAW3A-07P00R.

    I have been looking online at different and a single list as "fitting Toshiha Satellite A660 laptop computers".

    Does anyone know if different laptops of the A660 other shape series computers laptops, or I need to find the specific part that is compatible with the number of my computer?

    In addition, the keyboard of my laptop doesn't have the function of backlit, but in some lists I could find that didn't function backlit.

    Anyone know if the backlit keyboard is a size different from that which is not backlit and therefore it does not my laptop?

    I would be very grateful of any help.

    Thank you.

    When the keyboard is removed on the back side is a sticker with part number that you can use to search for and order new keyboard. In my opinion this is the best and easiest way to find a good keyboard.

    Keyboard with backlight has additional cable for power and you cannot use it with our machine, so, in my opinion, there is no sense to buy it. Remove the keyboard and we part of the keypad number.

    I don't know if you have experience with disassembly, but be careful if you want to do it yourself. Small mistake and something may be broken. If all this is too risky for you I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can order the original keyboard and switch to... I think only 20 minutes.
