• Satellite A660, SWITCH OFF COOLING PROBLEM message appears

  My Sat A660 1FH displays a message that says there is a cooling problem and I should pass away, but when I check the settings there is no problem. can anyone help please?

  Hi mikeswan,

  I have the Satellite A660 since October 2010 up to more than 4 months now and has never seen a such error message on my Satellite A660. Everything works fine, cooling system works normally and if not, no problem.

  Nothing comes from nothing, so I think that there really is a problem with your cooling system or high temperature.

  Your laptop should still be under warranty, because this new model of s. very good because I would contact the closest to what s service provider authorized as soon as possible before you get property damage due to a higher internal temperature. I think that professional people, make sure that there is no problem or get the correction of an error, please check your laptop. Maybe the fan needs to be replaced or else I put t really know.

  I can help you find an authorized service provider then follow this link:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > find an authorized service provider

  That s a list of all FSA with phone number and all the rest need you can get in touch with the guys.
  I think that it of the best idea and if there is a hardware problem, repair will cost nothing. :)

• Satellite A660 - Windows won't load - I can't get back

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 7U.
  Last night it could not start.

  I ran the Norton ghost boot cd and save most of the things that I needed.
  I also noticed player C has become just 1.5gig and there was an extra drive!

  I tried to run the system restore by using startup Toshibas restore factory settings. first of all it does not have enough space in drive C, and then when I changed the settings to delete all partitions, he was preparing for a long time the copy as long (10 min) time and then turned itself off.

  Now what should I do? My HARD drive has disappeared?
  I see all my stuff when I use Norton ghost however. I copied most of the things in the drive (D) possibility of a virus?

  William

  Hello

  I think that Akuma is right.
  The Ghost has copied all the files (backup) image on the C partition and as a result there is no more free space on this partition.

  I m wondering if you have created a Toshiba Recovery disk. Did you?
  If you didn t create the recovery disk and if the disk HARD recovery option doesn't work, then you must order a new recovery disk to put the laptop back to factory settings.

  Of course, it is an additional option if the procedure of restoring ghost image would not work.

• Satellite A660 windows without CD in box problems

  Hi all

  I bought a brand-new a660 satellite of the domayne on the gold coast in Australia on their boxing day sales.
  After getting it home I noticed that there is no CD in the box and the seal was broken, although it looked closed inside.

  I must have read it, but didn't.
  Now, perhaps due to a virus do not know many things does not work, IE the volume control on the taskbar, bing and a lot of files that I download say they cannot find the location of the file (even if I'm clicking on it)

  My question is the laptop should come with any cd? And is it possible to restore the previous situation

  Thanks for any help,
  delta75

  Hello

  I m asking myself why you didn t take a look at the user manual which must be preinstalled on the HARD drive. Usually there is a shortcut on the desktop ;)

  That could be something that no recovery disc is provided with the laptop because there is a tool preinstalled called creative recovery disk Toshiba that creates a recovery disk.

  As indicated by the user above; You can also try the recovery disk that can be activated by pressing F8 (the laptop start upward while) then choose fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery

  Hope this helps

  If the recovery of HARD drive does not work, then you couls order disks from here:

• Satellite M30X windows 2000 installation problem

  I noticed ribooth has also posted a message with the same problem... but I haven't seen a real answer. The problem: if I try to install Windows 2000 Professional (including SP2) on my satellite M30X-130. The windows 2000 Setup program crashes with a "page in a no fault paged area" in acpi.sys just at the moment where the status in the status bar has been changed from windows 2000. If I press F7 during startup, acpi support is disabled and no page error occurs but the windows 2000 installation hangs on "the first screen" where you should be able to start, stop and? installation. There is no additional hardware installed and I'm unable to partition and format the HD with W2k. If I do it with win98 and create a FAT32 partition and try to install w2k on it I get the same ' page in a no fault paged area "acpi.sys error. Any suggestions to fix this?

  Hello
  Make sure that the system BIOS and other hardware is compatible with Windows 2000.

• Satellite L505 Windows 7 startup error screen

  I had a problem on my Satellite L505 a few weeks ago and it keeps occurring during each startup.
  Windows starts as usual, but instead of loading blue screen, where you can choose username and password to type I get only a black screen with nothing on it.

  I can't see anything, except for the mouse pointer, which works btw.
  When I press ENTER and type my password to Windows load my desktop and everything works well.
  This problem occurs when you start upward only, once I am connected and I want to switch users there is no this problem.

  I get a blue screen with stupid windows 7 graphics and images of all accounts, so there is no problem choose a user.
  Have you seen such a problem? Or is there someone who knows how to fix this?

  Thank you for your response.

  > When I hit ENTER and type my password Windows load my desktop and everything works fine.
  What password do you mean? Maybe you have defined a passoword BIOS?
  The laptop would not boot until the BIOS password has been set and then the operating system should start.

• Satellite Pro L300-128 - startup problem

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro L300-128 GB specification, that has a Celeron M550 running Windows XP and a construction date of the end of June 2008. I have a problem with the switching on of the machine if it has been turned off for a long period of time.

  Basically, if the AC cable is inserted into the computer laptop and plugged in, the green light turns on, but pressing the button it does nothing. By the process of elimination, I have found that, after a short period of time (say 15-30 minutes) if (and only if) the AC cable is then removed from the laptop, it lights up then!

  Plug the AC cable, while the laptop is on, do not cut the machine and charge the battery as usual. The battery life seems very good, if a little short (say 1.5 - 1.75 hours when used "constantly").

  If the computer is restarted, it lights again very well - if it is turned off and left for a few minutes, once again no problem. But, if she is not with the battery fully charged and left all night - it lights again in the morning.

  Now, as a new machine, I'm wondering if the battery needs a long initial load (such as a mobile phone)? Nothing is said about it in the manual. I have not yet checked if the battery down completely himself during the night. I haven't run the battery to the laptop for a long time (say all day) to 'trickle charge '. I don't know if the period from 15 to 30 minutes to get the thing started is once again because the battery is completely discharged during the night (I need to check the BIOS to see if "Wake up we LAN/wireless" is activated)-anyone know how long a fully discharged battery must be charged before that the machine will let you start it?

  Under the machine, there are two battery release buttons and it seems loose - I don't know if it's related, but can't see how. Moreover, when the question arose (during the first delivery the laptop), I removed the battery and tried power upwards of food, but nothing to do.

  I ran all the software updates (chipset etc) I can find on the download page, the BIOS version is 1.40 (last) of the factory.

  Any suggestions would be welcome before I have use the service of repair under warranty for the first time! I don't know if it is related to the fact that the power button seems to be a micro switch rather than a good button/switch in the conventional sense of the term, i.e. you can 'feel' it do something!

  Thank you very much
  Richard

  Hello

  If you have purchased a new laptop, the battery is empty and needs to be charged in the first place.
  You can also connect the adapter to the laptop while the battery is empty and the laptop should also lights up properly.
  The laptop must also run without the battery and using only the AC adapter.

  It should also be possible to put the laptop by pressing the power button for about a second, if this is not possible, a malfunction of the laptop could be possible.

  In such cases, it s always advisable to contact the local ASP for a verification of the laptop.

  I mean your laptop is under warranty and if something is not wrong with the machine so everything must be replaced free of charge

  In my opinion, the laptop must be checked!

But if I leave it alone for about 15 minutes itll displays the login screen. I tried to connect and itll just stay there and freeze, and never cross the parameters of loading. ive tried to remove the drivers which are not signed for windows xp (same as Tho they have never had a problem before) ive also completely reformatted my computer. I don't know if it has nothing to do with it but ive recently partioned the other half of my hard drive that the processor recognizes (only let me use 150gigs on 350). also this issue initially started after I had to completely shut down my computer because it froze during a flash image, I was running gamebooster including some of the process essentials that run and monopolize the ram stops. but its never happened before. don't think it's important because I have completely reformatted my computer. and also im on the computer it works perfectly fine in safe mode

  Heres my dead basic care.

• Windows Vista startup problems

  Hi all

  I use an old laptop Dell Studio with Vista and I have problems trying to start. My suspicion is a questionable download has screwed the hard drive or I'm missing some drivers.

  What is happening, it is start the computer to the windows startup page and that's all. This shows only the loading bar going around constantly. When I try to start safe mode, it arrives at crcdisk.sys file and stops. The diagnostic test gives a pass for everything except the hard disk, to whom he gives the error code 2000-0146.

  Anyone has any suggestions on what to try next? If I can find the CD I'll try a system reset but was hoping to save the files that I have on my hard drive. Or reinstall the drivers would be worth?

  Thanks in advance :)

  Hello

  A download will not destroy the hard drive, while the age will be.

  That the error code 2000-0146. When you use the Dell diagnostics indicates a hard failure/failed.

• Satellite A660-1DW - screen graphic problem becomes faints

  Hi guys, this is the first time m write on any shape... !!

  Basically, I bought toshiba A660-1DW from argos 4 months after using it for 4 months VGA (display graphic problem becomes faints and a little colored lines appear on the screen)

  .. as I had the warranty for the laptop, I went to argos, told them the problem rather than send it back for repair they just have me service number customer toshiba...

  returned home rang Toshiba, they gave me a few REF a bit and asked me of the drop to the argos... the next day went to argos they accepted and send it to toshiba for repair... after 3 weeks they have me called yesterday picked up the phone after using the laptop for 5 minutes, same problem was there...

  then I took it back to argos they still accepted and send it for repair, but they also said if the problem 3rd time I'll have to take the same branch of argos from where I bought the laptop... .fondamentalement I bought in HOUNSLOW and I live in slough.

  the conclusion that I am crazy about her, here it is... TOSHIBA AND ARGOS these people got the WORST service you will ever find anywhere on the other hand,

  THESE PEOPLE ARE MUCH MORE BETTER THEN TOSHIBA because IF THE CUSTOMER IS NOT happy with the product they will replace or Exchange streight away...!

  Hello

  I had a problem with my laptop and the ASP has replaced everything for free because the guarantee was valid.
  The guys are really helpful and friendly, so I did a very good experience with the Toshiba service and notebooks of other manufacturers can also be defective

  Of course, there might be some difference between the different cases, but I can't say that the service is not ok
