Satellite C660-17J - power on the issue

Hello

I bought a Satellite C660-17I and sometimes when I turn it on (now the power button for 2-3 seconds and then release) - do not turn on correctly eg - fan starts - power light lights up - but not the screen. If I pressed the power button, even after he died. So if I try again it lights up but the date and the time resets to 2008.

Ideas or will I have to return to Amazon as defective? (could not do without it!).

Hi ebarnyard,

When you connect an external display, you can see something about that or is it always black as internal screen?

> So if I try again it lights up but the date and the time resets to 2008.
Do you mean the time of Windows or BIOS?

In General, I would say this is no a behavior normal and in my opinion it s something wrong with the hardware itself. So I contact a service provider allowed in your country and ask guys to check your laptop what s wrong with it because repair is free of the time guaranteed ;)

    Then I realized that theres no card on the laptop more.

    Conclusion: The LAN connection that I have now collapsed.
    A Wi - Fi connection is not displayed with the adapters in Device Manager.
    In Device Manager there is a network controller (if this is right), but the laptop can not find a driver in the driver update and it is not active.

  • Satellite C660-1st - replacement of the cooling fan

    Colors are the same so I tried to change order of the cables but it helps doesn t.

  • Satellite C660 - continues to enter the system repair

    Can someone help me?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660. Yesterday, it crashed. When it restarted, it went in the repair of the system and whenever I rebooted, it entered the system repair. Don't know if it is relivant but I get a windown come with drvload.exe back.

    So I did a factory restore hdd thinking this would clearly be the problem, but it didn't. Now I always get a repair system each time I do updates of mircosoft when I restart, more I can't hardly open programs like firefox, add and remove programs.

    I now use a check of HDD to see if I have bad sectors, have also scan mcfee which showed no virus.

    Any suggestions would be grateful because do not know what to try next.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    > So I did a factory restore hdd thinking this would clearly be the problem, but it didn't.
    That would mean he s no malfunction of the software and the problem seems to be hardware related. HARD drive recovery can restore the original settings of the software box and they are pre-tested by Toshiba. So, theoretically, he could be sector failed HARD drive, RAM failure or something else

    > Now, I always get a repair system each time I do updates of mircosoft
    This would mean that the problem appears only after Windows update or I understand something wrong?

  • Satellite C660 - all models with the same assumption?

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could help me, I want to get the Satellite C660 from my local supermarket:
    [http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.210-2821.aspx]

    But I was wondering if Toshiba supports this laptop even as if I bought it in an electronics store.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The support is always the same, even, you buy the laptop of supermarket or electronic store or ASP.

    The warranty period is always the same and depends on your country. Sometimes it is possible to get a free warranty extension if you save the workbook on the official page of Toshiba.

    If you have a hardware problem, an authorized service provider can solve the problem for you. It of free when your laptop is under warranty.

    To be honest, you can be happy that your laptop works because many people have had bad luck after the BIOS update fail.

    In my opinion, you shouldn't be playing with BIOS updates. At the end you may damage the BIOS update and your laptop won't boot at all. Maybe you should contact Toshiba service provider and clarify this point. Ask for help. They should do it for you. If something goes wrong, it is not your fault.

    Be careful with this. This is just my opinion and advice for you. Don t change well running system.

  • Satellite C660 Wireless stopped since the update of the BIOS 1.4

    In fact, there is a thread on this same topic closed. But I would like to add something.

    My Satellite C660 is dual-boot. I have Ubuntu installed as well as Windows 7. Now, at the moment that I stupidly updated the bios to 1.4 the wireless doesn't work under windows. But he continued to work under Ubuntu.

    So, I know that the material has not broken suddenly. It is clearly a serious error in the bios update provided by Toshiba and must be fixed immediately.

    One kind may explain how to restore the previous bios. I know it was recorded somewhere because I saw what happens during the update process.

    See you soon!

    > Now, at the moment that I stupidly updated the bios to 1.4 the wireless doesn't work under windows. But he continued to work under Ubuntu.

    Have you checked if the WiFi is enabled in Windows 7?
    Usually you must activate the Wlan using Fn + F8 keys.

    Check it!

  • 660 s Office power - on the issues

    I have a 660 s 3 years old Dell which has power problems.  It is running Windows 8.1.  If I do a restart of Windows, there is no problem.  The questions come with a full stop.

    After a full stop, the system will not * usually * reverse.  Sometimes, okay, but not usually.  If I unplug the power cord and then hold the power button until the green light in the back of the screen off, it restarts normally.  Sometimes, I have to do a couple of times.  I noticed a very slight clicking noise when you hold button power, similar to an ignition on a gas Grill, but much quieter.  It may be normal but I noticed it.  It stops when the green light turns off.
    I don't know if it is the power supply, the switch or the motherboard.  Ideas or additional troubleshooting steps should I take?  It seemed to happen sporadically at first, but now occurs whenever the system is completely shut down.

    That looks like that the power supply has failed.

    You can try to replace the battery in the motherboard first since it is only ~ discount stores to $2, if nothing else than to rule out, but I think that a new PSU could solve the problem.

  • Satellite L300. Observation on the issues cover the recovery of Vista on a new HARD drive

    Hi all

    I need to reinstall Vista (on a Toshiba Satellite L300) runs the "recovery disc" created by Toshiba disc creator before recovery and using a disc of "nine" (Toshiba MK2035GSS, 200 GB).

    Issues related to the:

    (1) I have to partition and format the new drive before starting with recovery disks / DVD (s).
    or which will be done through the recovery process?

    (2) what is the reason for which the current disc is divided into two size equal C: and D: partitions, while
    D: partition seems to be reservered for the system, but only 5 GB are used?

    (3) what is the purpose of the partition 3. ("inactive") with about 1.5 GB of space?

    Thanks in advance for your support and help!

    Whalter

    > 1) I have to partition and format the new drive before starting with recovery disks / DVD (s).
    or which will be done through the recovery process?
    No, because the HARD disk should be formatted during the recovery process.

    (> 2) what is the reason for which the current disc is divided into two size equal partitions C: and D:, while
    D: partition seems to be reservered for the system, but only 5 GB are used?
    On the D partition, you can find the files and folder from HARD drive recovery. HARD disk recovery allows you to recover the laptop HARD drive and in this case, you don't need the recovery disc

    (> 3) what is the purpose of the partition 3. ("inactive") with about 1.5 GB of space?
    It is a Vista partition and is necessary for the backup files. Vista is able to repair the operating system if something bad is going to do this the necessary files that are stored on this partition.
