• Satellite C660/C660D - shift key causes the screen to go black

  After purchasing the Satellite C660/c660D less than a month ago.

  Course not blogger like tested also in word.

  It is a fault, I don't expect this brand

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  > I am disappointed to see the SHIFT key (left) and the CTRL pressed, causing the screen to go black intermittently when you type my blog...

  What does this mean exactly? Press SHIFT and CTRL button turn off the display, and you are not able to see anything on the monitor?
  Is this good?

  Have you checked if this happens with the help of an external USB keyboard too?
  If this isn't the case, I guess that your keyboard is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.

  One of my friends had a problem with my keyboard. The cursor jumped around and some characters are displayed two times this could be resolved by the BIOS update I m do not know if your laptop uses the latest version of the BIOS, but you can check this too.

• Satellite R830 - Synaptics driver often causes accidents

• Satellite C660-155 - no sound with headphones, fair speakers

  Sound still come from the speakers when the headset is connected. I've been through all the settings in the sound Manager and cannot find that anything related to the headphone jack.

  I've seen quite a few similar questions in regard to other laptops Toshiba, but none of the C660.

  Any ideas?

  Hi Doris,.

  You use the preinstalled version of Windows 7 in Toshiba or your own installation of Windows?

  Normally if you plug in headphones a window should appear and ask you for headphones or line out output. You see this window?

  If this isn't the case, I recommend reinstalling the audio driver. You can download the latest version of Toshiba's official website:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

• Satellite C660 - 23 M - driver causing crash at program startup

  I loaded a CAD program on my new 64 bit laptop, the program starts and then stops and windows closes. In incident reports, the modules ntddll.dll and aticfx.dll have both appear to be involved. Could there be some conflicts, can I update a driver somehow?

  I saw a report on a game site that AIS aticfx.dll the problen about the c660 series.
  Please help or the machine will go back to the shop.

  PS I tried to run in compatibility mode and disable the antivirus but the problem remains unchanged
  Regards Ian

  Hello

  I think that the application of CAD is not fully compatible with the preinstalled graphics driver.
  Ntddll.dll is part of the windows system file aticfx.dll files seems to be a part of the graphics card driver and so I think that you should use another graphics card driver.

  The laptop seems to bear a graphics Intel HM55 HD card. Try to update the driver using the latest version of the Intel page.

• Re: Overheating and lag issues on the Satellite C660/C660D

  Hello community of Toshiba

  I am a new user of Toshiba, I have a new Toshiba laptop as a model of its Satellite C660 / C660D, I use my new laptop for 6 months and I have some kind of a lot of time on my laptop. Sometimes I keep it open for more than 10 hours.

  My problem is like 3-4 months at the bottom right of the screen there is a caution came out as "there's something wrong with your hard drive, you should give it to any service of Toshiba for warranty".
  But it happened because I played on users, I mean users option for windows, not something material, changing just the current user name caused this and he now has weird name when I reversed the name change; He turned to something like TOSH ~ 1, etc.

  After several times, I mean like 1 month ago, my computer got very slow. Video games with their high resolution, but now the phone LAGS even I put it in low resolution, I played... I did not change any material or touched. But it is frustrating to see that I can't do the things I used to do more.

  Another thing is, I'm afraid of the heat from the laptop. Is it normal to have 49-50 degrees? Because when I play games, it is around this level. I live in a hot city.

  Some people asked me to use HD Tune to check that if I have a bad sector on the hard drive, I did. Does not work either.
  I deleted some of my files to get the free space on my HARD drive also, likely 150 concerts altogether. I even wiped the empty space in my HDD via CCleaner. I often do the basis of registry-fix with it as well. Movies and games flash hangs out as well. And sometimes when I watch videos, the sound cuts, so I have to pause, and then click play it again to fix it but it happens in various video players, not youtube. Very probably all watching anime.

  And what do I do? I don't want to go for the service, I'm sure they'll make me wait several weeks of 100%. I use usually my laptop with its adapter. Oh and, over the life of my laptop, 2 - 3 times he got stopped himself while it wasn't on the map whenever I check, he was really but really hot.

  So, what should I do? I don't want to open the computer to look inside, I do not understand, and he would risk my 2 year warranty.

  I am looking forward for your answers, I'll be very happy. Thank you.

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. In General, you should think about upgrading the RAM to the maximum level. With more RAM laptop should have more power and different operations should be made much more quickly.

  To make my laptop better and faster I ve upgraded RAM to the maximum level and also changed SSD HARD drive. So big difference there and phone now works like a rocket. Think about upgrading RAM.
  > Another thing is, I'm afraid of the heat from the laptop. Is it normal to have 49-50 degrees?
  From my point of view, this temperature is normal and certainly not too high. When you use your laptop, place it on the office and ensure that the cooling fan and cooling rack are free and not blocked.

  Don t open your laptop. Anyway, you can't do anything except to void your warranty. RAM upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and it will not void your warranty.

• Satellite C660-1ME - sometimes more often hangs when connecting to internet

  Hi, my laptop is Satellite C660-1ME

  It blocks sometimes more often while connecting to the internet, and several times when I m working in eclipse IDE.

  The shot is so that everything is locked, same mouse doesn't have a movement and Ctrl + Alt + Delete does nothing and finally I have to hold the power button until it has adjusted or pull the power cable on.

  Everyone this experience or know where is the problem?

  Hello

  The description of your problem is too general and it is not easy to understand what exactly you do.
  Connection of internet statement is not easy to understand. Who knows what kind of connection use you page your visiting or whatever you usually do.

  Have you noticed this problem on the first day?
  Are you using the original OS that you got with your laptop?

• Satellite C660 - overheating and decommissioning

  I have a computer laptop satellite C660 and in recent weeks it has been overheating and switching of. The fan and the heat sink is free of dirt and I bought and installed a new processor, but the problem persists. Actually the only way I can get the machine to run must go into the BIOS and run it in a slower mode which is unacceptable for a normal performance. I think I may have one problem material but another CPU change don't know what to try next.

  I can provide details if someone need help and I thank everyone in advance for any advice they are able to provide.
  Concerning

  David

  Hello
  do you have a thermal past when you installed the new processor?
  No idea on this model but have you check if any other component (for example the video gpu) add thermal paste on him?
  You use the laptop on a solid surface to allow the bottom of the laptop breathe properly for better cooling?
  I know some pretty stupid questions, but is just a double check.

• Satellite C660-223 - system caution: "" problem with cooling detected system "".

  When I carry my Satellite C660-223 somewhere for example wear at home to College in a protective case in my backpack, I sometimes get a window warning flashing upward every 20 seconds or so said system + "warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." Please turn the computer off immediately and return it for service. +

  This only happens when I transported somewhere and as a first step, that these warnings system flashed only sometimes upwards after I hauled somewhere, but in the last two years, he started to get pretty much whenever I took the laptop somehwere. When the system warnings blink until the computer doesn't feel a little warmer than normal. no danger of overheating, immediately.

  I didn't fix it because the problem seems to resolve itself the next time that I carried the computer somewhere. It's a very strange problem where the short-term solution was the same as the cause: as in I would take the laptop somewhere, the warning system flash upwards and I learned that take "for a walk" would fix somehow everything which was the 'problem '. I solved the problem in this way too often so he could be a coincidence.

  So for a while it wasn't really a problem because I just didn't take the laptop anywhere. But the warning system has recently start flashing to the top if I wear just the laptop on the floor, and the warning system does not disappear with my method incredibly non-tech-savvy to "go for a walk", which I am sure many here would give something to laugh :).

  The obvious answer is that I need to get the service pronto thing, but I'm in the middle of final exams and the situation of tech in my house means I can't leave the laptop away for service for who knows how long when I really need to study.

  Responses, I'm hoping to get are ideas as to what actually caused this problem and short-term solutions that are a little better informed that my approach "going for a walk".

  I think THAT what is, is that the movement to carry your laptop around in a backpack something within the done cooling system moving out of place causing the evil TI work. I say this because, while writing this thread I was turn the laptop over and over again to get a look at the stickers on the back and the practice that seems to have "solved" the problem of warning system because this window flashes up while he was only a few minutes ago.

  It seems so that all component moved his place before been moved back again by the movement to turn the laptop over and over. And I was not even take him for a walk!

  Any help? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  This notification may appear for different reasons.
  The alert might appear due to
  (1) cooling system malfunction
  (2) blocked cooling vents or fans
  (3) software question (VAP - added value package or BIOS)

  Malfunction of the cooling system, you should contact the service agents at the difficulty.

  In case of a blocked vent and fans it s enough to clean the parts using a jet of compressed air.
  This allows to get rid of dust inside the cooling module.

  If the vents are not blocked and you still see this message, check the application of the service station for updates on your computer. If any are found, download and install.
  You can try to uninstall or update the Toshiba value added Package. This package contains a few essential tools and utilities that control the cooling system too.
  Also check BIOS update.

  But if you continue to receive this error, your laptop may require repair

• Satellite C660 - screen problem

  When my wife got off the plane a luggage handler helped pushing his mother in wheelchair and dragging one of the bags behind him allowing my wife to take care of the rest of the luggage. Unfortunately, the laptop that sat on that bag decided that he didn't like the ride, he jumped the bag and tried to get into the terminal under its own power from the battery.

  There is no visible damage to the laptop as it was inside the bag and no crack or anything on the screen. When turn on the laptop, the screen may remain empty, flicker or it shows the log on and office but instead of white to white, it displays a purple rose, only showing not ecru is affected. Other colors appear correctly although they look as if the display is set to 256 colors or the use of the wrong driver.

  I plugged an external monitor to it and that works very well with the color. If the computer laptop screen flickers a light tap at the back of it he still will get, but the color is not corrected. I think it may be just a loose connection or wire cut between the screen and the motherboard but don't know if the color change would be caused by the present.

  Satellite C660 (PSC1LA-00J001) looks brand new, but I don't think it would be useful to take to get fixed.

  Any ideas on what could be the problem?

  It took me 2 1/2 hours to post this same exact message because somewhere in there is profanity or inappropriate language. :(

  Hello

  On this virtual path, it is not possible to say with certainty what the problem is here. Your laptop must be disassembled and all should be checked. Graphics card seems to be OK, so it must be a problem with connectors, cable or with the screen itself.
  > Satellite C660 (PSC1LA-00J001) looks brand new, but I don't think it would be useful to take to get fixed.
  Why not? Same display exchange is not so problematic. Googling around you will find many online stores where you can order the new display, if necessary. Even on eBay you can get it at reasonable price.

  If you do not have experience with this kind of things I recommend you contact the closest to the Toshiba service provider or some independent IT service and ask for help. Check what options are available and how much you have to pay for the repair.

• Is it safe to upgrade Satellite C660 / 660D to 10 Windows

  I want to upgrade to Windows 10, my laptop is aproximidly 2 years.
  I have a toshiba satellite C660/660D. My question is; I can do it, I have to get new driverpack for it, where can I get those or Windows will find itself?
  Is anyone here who has the same laptop as mine and the upgrade? Will you tell me if this is satisfactory, but it works correctly?

  I did the upgrade on my own as soon as it became available. I found this worked OK but was a bit disappointed by the absence of perfprmance speedor. One of the options for you is to create a 10 disk DVD set windpws I did. Then I did a new install of windows 10 and reloaded all my programs. This has a portable work much better.
  According the information I read you need to do the first updated Microsoft then will issue a license that is kept on servers that is unique to your machine. When do you it a re - install it is not necessary to enter a license during the installation key, simply skip this step.

  Windows 10 rauns well on this laptop I have not had any problems with other than the card reader drivers, but googling found a driver that works now, unfortunately I don't remember where I found it sorry. I think the driver of Windows 8 was one I used.

  In November there was a big update, I had problems with. The installation of it was causing my laptop overheating and automatic stop before finishing. I have overheating problems on this machine despite disassemble and clean and replace the thermal paste on the processor.

  I had to make a new record to Win 10 installation updated on another PC and use it to update the Toshiba, but it was still close during the update and came near close.

  Win 10 works very well and starts quickly, although I have replace the hard drive under Win 7 for one SSD due to the failure of the hard drive, which will account for some of the performance...

  I, like others, do not like everything, about 10, but it does not work on the C660 - 1 7 I own
