Satellite C660-258 Series USB ports

Well basically one of my USB ports, the closest for me to be more precise is reported missing.
At first I thought that the USB slot might be brouilla somewhere, somehow, but after watching upstairs and downstairs I found nothing.

I have absolutely no idea what happened because the day before, I had been using my USB slot perfectly and the next I'm going to use it and it is not what makes me very suspicious of how these Toshiba laptops are set up since I was the only one who uses the thing.

I resorted to my 2nd USB port which worked for about 2 weeks after another the disappeared but now it has also stopped working and I need some advice on the question of whether I can restore the other somehow or if it could be physically damaged in some way.

I rang Toshiba while my laptop was still under warranty on it, but they told me the usb slots are not covered by the latter and told him it could be quite an expensive repair because the ports are connected to the motherboard. I don't want to really folk big money to solve this problem, given A) I don't think I can afford it & B) I don't feel like paying a large sum of money, because frankly I didn't use excessive force for her to get out or get pushed in which really makes me the issue of making the laptop.

Can someone give me advice on what I could do because I rely heavily on my USB ports/slots

> I rang Toshiba while my laptop was still under warranty on it, but they told me the usb slots are not covered by the latter and told him it could be quite an expensive repair because the ports are connected to the motherboard.

This is nonsense if the warranty is valid, any part of the material is covered by the warranty so its no matter if the USB ports are defective or other parts if there is a hardware failure, the service partner should set free.

But in your case I would guarantee that it is really a hardware failure
Take a recovery disc or use HARD drive recovery option to put the laptop back to factory settings.
If the USB ports wouldn't even using the pre-configured Toshiba system, then hardware problem might be possible

In this case get in touch with the Toshiba ASP in your country and ask for help.

  • Cost of the repair on the Satellite C660-1ñ3 USB ports?

    Two ports USB 2.0 on my Toshiba Satellite C660-1ñ3 are broken,
    My question is, how much it would cost me to fix them?

    where can I buy some usb, connectors and solder on myself?

    Kind regards

    Ralf

    I think that no one here can tell you how much it costs. Contact the closest service provider for Toshiba and talk with them. They can tell you how much it will cost.

    Theoretically, you can do this alone, but if you n t have experience with this kind of things I think that this should be done by a technician.

  • Satellite Pro L10-103 - USB ports not working not

    Hi, my Satellite Pro L10 - 103 USB Ports do not work. I tried different things and finally my Advisor rubbed my computer clean of all programs and operating system. After reloading of the set up disc and having lost my dear some programs I am no further forward. It still does not.

    Anyone know if this means that it is a mechanical problem with the computer? (I use Windows XP). Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Buddy,

    As wrote Akuma did you use the Toshiba Recovery disk or the Microsoft Windows disk?

    After installing XP, make sure that Service Pack 3 is installed. It contains important updates and can be downloaded on the official page of Toshiba.

    In addition, try to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager, restart the computer. Ports will still be recognized and ready to use once.

  • Satellite C660-258 - Internet connection issues

    Recently, my laptop started to suffer serious problems when you try to connect to the internet.
    My download and upload slow to a crawl (only for laptop)

    Usually (according to speedtest.net) I get around a download about 4 but on my laptop it reaches maximum 0.09 dl.

    Whenever I restart my laptop it works kind of during about 10 minutes (I get about a 1 download), but then it slows down to a crawl.

    I confess that I am not the most tech savvy people so I only did the basics (turn it on and try again, other connections, reset the router, connect through a cable) but none of this has worked.

    Any help you could provide would be most welcome.

    Oh btw, my laptop is a
    Satellite C660-258

    Hello

    To be honest I don t understand your problem you have a problem with the internet connection is slow?

    Usually, this is not a problem or computer in the system but the problem with the connection provided by the internet provider (ISP).

    However, you compared the speed using LAN and WLan?
    Did you check the internet connection by using other WLan hotspots or other WiFi network?

  • Satellite P10 Series - USB Ports not working not

    Hi - I have a portable series of P10, PSP10E-0RCJM-EN.

    Don't know when or how this can happen, but none of my USB ports work integrated.
    They are all recognized and installed when you look in the Windows Device Manager.

    I am running Win XP Home Edition with SP2 and latest drivers and BIOS downloaded from the Toshiba web site.
    I had the hope that it might be a simple device or a driver of motherboard problem, but does not appear.

    Using a card PCMCIA USB works very well, but uses only one card slot that I need for other purposes.

    Anyone has more suggestions please?
    I hope you can help, impatience of someone soon!

    Graham

    Hello

    Try to remove all the ports from the Device Manager.
    Then try to restart the device. After this procedure, the operating system should recognize and install again the USB ports.
    It would be very interesting to know if the ports are working properly after this new facility.

  • Satellite C650 15Z two USB ports have stopped working / load

    Windows 7

    There are 2 USB ports which are now both inoperative - there seems to be no power from them (ipad/phones do not charge) and any flash drive I insert does not appear as a drive in my computer
    and I don't hear audible alerts or message pop ups after insertion. Like I don't know what I look in Device Manager, I thought that someone may be able to help here?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    In Device Manager, you can try to delete and remove the USB host controller and USB hubs.
    All these devices are responsible for the functionality of USB ports.
    After you remove the USB host controller and USB hubs, restart the laptop.
    Usually the Windows operating system should recognize the devices automatically deleted after that, you can check if the USB feature is back.

  • Satellite A200-1tw psae6e - USB ports not working not

    I use windows 7 ultimate on Satellite A200-1tw (psae6e-06u030du) and my usb ports no longer works correctly.
    In fact they recognize certain usb devices, but not all (for mouse and printer example work, but my USB does not work)

    Looking at the Device Manager, everything seems OK... No problem!

    Does anyone have a solution for my problem.

    Thanks :)

    Hello

    Try resetting the USB ports. This means that you need to remove the USB ports/hubs/controllers in Device Manager.
    Then, you have to restart the laptop to get new USB ports.
    In my case it has worked.

    By the way; I recommend upgrading the chipset driver and disable the feature for each energy-saving usb port.
    This can be done in the Device Manager-> port USB-> properties-> tab to save energy

  • L50-A-1FK satellite - cannot boot from USB port

    Hello

    I am a first user of this forum
    It is a problem with my computer and don't know how to fix it.

    My computer is a L50 A 1FK Satellite with Windows pre installed 8.1.

    I'm not impressed with new Windows10 and I'm back on Windows 8.1.

    What to do when I start to install a version of Linux Mint meadow look.
    It is impractical to restart the computer to. Al dough BIOS is changed by marketing, that to look for start-ups to the USB. It does not work. If I try the same thing is happening with a live CD or DVD.
    How can I make sure that there re-boot on the USB.

    As in advance,
    Rob (Wildspoor.nl)

    Hello

    In order to boot from external sources (CD or USB port - flash memory stick), you need to disable startup secure in the BIOS.

    There is also a startup mode option (UEFI).
    In case the new (Linux) system would not support UEFI mode, you must change this mode of CSM.

  • On Satellite Pro A300-13Y USB port problem

    I have a Satellite Pro A300-13Y with 4 USB ports. The USB ports of two right don t work. I bought this phone recently (2-3 weeks ago). It has a Windows Vista Business SP1 on it. I put chip in utility installed on it, I checked the Device Manager and tried to find driver for it but I couldn't solve this problem.

    So I called Toshiba service dek, they say that I need to install new standard to factory install to see if it can be solved. But I don t find it the best way and I have some applications installed on it and get some info on my laptop, so I would find another way to solve this problem.

    Also, I think it might be a hardware problem. Can someone show the way in which I can find or fix this? I can also send it to guarantee, but I made a mistake and if there is not a hardware problem that I have to pay for it.

    Hello

    I know it s not the best way, but it's the only way to exclude a hardware failure. If after a recovery of the won´t of USB ports not work then you can send it to repair without being in doubt that they will charge you for the repair.

  • Satellite C650 problem with USB ports

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop, with my USB ports.

    A few days ago, I plugged my mp3 to charge its battery. I did when system Windows began and after a few ports seconds has stopped working. They work for one to five minutes after starting my computer, but only after my laptop's turn off for a few hours at night for example.

    They work fine and all of a sudden we hear the sound of a disconnected device and usb ports turns off. I tried many solutions but nothing worked. I removed all the USB ports in Device Manager.

    I checked in the BIOS, but everything seems to be okay. I tried to disable the disconnection of usb ports to save energy, nothing. Tools that have been provided by Toshiba to check hardware see as usb ports work correctly. Only usbdview program sees as unknown device, I tried to uninstall it through this program but still nothing.

    You have an idea, what could happen? Or if there is no possibility to fix without service visit?
    I would appreciate your help.

    Hello

    Have you tested these ports USB plug a USB mouse or a USB keyboard?
    These devices work properly?

    I don t think you need a visit to the service.
    I think that it s just a software problem
    Given that the USB ports are controlled by the chipset, I would recommend reinstalling/updating the chipset driver

    The alternative is a bit drastic, I think about the recovery of the laptop...
    It might be possible that the registry has been confused upward or some 3rd party software preinstalled on the laptop could affect the USB ports.

    I remember that my USB ports do not work after installing iTunes.
    I had to reinstall the operating system once more to get the USB port work even more funny is that I installed iTunes once more and USB worked correctly

  • Satellite L - a single USB port works

    Hello

    I've had this laptop for a few months and I could not do all the USB ports work, the system recognizes all the but work alone. If I check the system it says ports are working properly and that it has the latest driver but when I do anything, a mouse, USB KEY, connect headsets to listen nothing, only one of the ports to recognize hardware.

    Can someone help me?

    Hi alecarrill63,

    It would be interesting to know what laptop you have exactly and what operating system you are using.
    Can you post this important information?

    In your case, I will try to update the Web from Toshiba site chipset driver

    But theoretically, if only a single USB port works, the other ports may be defective and therefore, it would be necessary to replace the motherboard. :(
