Satellite C660 28 d - Wi - Fi option is gone

The wifi option has disappeared. There is no wifi device in Device Manager, the F8 option has disappear when you press the FN key. Network and sharing Center has no options for wifi. It's as if the card wifi were not there. When I boot there is a new pop up message about some 'upgrade' failed.

So, if indeed the wifi card has disappeared may tell me what it is, which interface should I use and what are the devices on the market, please. An upgrade is possible at a speed higher or double band.

Is there software tests I can perform before lashing out on a new card? I could not find all the items in the activate wifi on BIOS

I guess that the wifi is this small card under the keyboard with black and white coaxial cables connected. Wired LAN connection works well by the way.

TIA

> I couldn't find all the items in the activate wifi on BIOS
As much as I know there is no option to enable or disable the wireless network adapter in the BIOS but please check if you.
Switch on and press F2 to enter the BIOS. Here, you can go through the simple tabs/areas.

However, if the WLan card isn t listed in Device Manager. as an unknown device or a network controller, I guess that the WLan card failure.

> I guess that wifi is this small card under the keyboard with coaxial cables black and white
Yes, I think it's the miniPCI WLan card and the WiFi antenna is connected to the Wlan miniPCI module.

> Are there some software tests I can perform before lashing out on a new card?
Hmm, you can try to install a hardware diagnostic tools like Everest Home Edition or Sisoft SANDRA to check if the module would be recognized.

  • Satellite C660 does not start on disc or USB

    My Toshiba Satellite C660-DSC0QE app, BIOS version 1.80, will not start Windows more - it just goes to the dreaded black screen with white cursor.

    I tried a system Win 7 recovery disk, a USB with software from Kaspersky on her recovery and even a full Win 7 installation disc, and it does not start at one of them.

    The boot order is set correctly, (optical drive or USB port) devices are read, but their initialization never actually in them - there is an obscure error message, or it acts like they weren't there at all.

    The obvious answer to these forums seems to be disable secure boot mode and then switch the to the CSM UEFI boot mode. Easier said than done - the menu options don't exist at all in my BIOS/CMOS screens.

    Finally, I see no way in the instructions to get a BIOS update occur without being already in Windows on the PC - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm I'm assuming that the BIOS version 2.00 would have these options.

    Any help gratefully accepted!

    Hello

    I assumed that you have a white blinking cursor in the upper left corner.
    Is this correct?

    These symptoms appear where the system can not find a boot device (HARD drive) or memory problems (RAM module).

    First of all, you said that you have UEFI / CSM boot mode in the BIOS settings.
    So I m asking you what parameters of start mode appear in BIOS exactly?
    Find you these settings in the right area?
    Usually, you should have an area (tab) called security in the BIOS.
    In most cases, you will find a safe boot option, but the Satellite C660 does not support this option because it s too old.
    But the startup mode (UEFI /CSM) should be available in the BIOS. Check the settings in the BIOS of the system area

    Anyway, as I said above; It could also be a memory problem, so I recommend you to check if the memory is OK.

  • Satellite C660 - click Touchpad HR does not contain to save option

    Satellite C660 running Windows 7 64-bit OS.
    When you click on a photo / image, the HR click context does NOT contain "Save as background" option on the same desktop if Windows 7 training on your desktop change claim that it is how it's done.

    I ran XP previously and this option was always there,
    Any ideas how this can be remedied?

    And when you open some picture using Windows photo viewer is this option available with the right mouse click on?

    By the way: I use the same operating system on my laptop Satellite and this option is available.

  • Webcam is blurry on the brand-new Satellite C660

    I just bought my Satellite C660 Saturday and have just opened the webcam for the first time.
    It is REALLY blurry. I can't seem to find an option in the settings to fix, and I gave him a towel to check that it was not just dirty.

    I read the posts about the different lights that can affect the quality of the image, but I just tested it out in the different lights and it did make a difference.

    Can someone give me advice! I'm not really a techno person and I really want the webcam to work so I can use Skype!
    Thank you

  • Satellite C660-162 compatible with Windows 8?

    Hello

    I just installed windows on my Satellite C660 - 162 PSCOSE 8 and I want to know if it is compatible with my Toshiba model, because I heard that windows 8 may damage the computer if it is not compatible with it

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    In my opinion these should ask themselves before Win8 installed. More info about Win8 instalation on Toshiba laptops, you can read on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8-message/
    There you can check the support for your laptop model > Toshiba matrix compatibility. Check it out.
    >... I heard that windows 8 may damage the computer if it is not compatible with it
    I don't know what kind of damage you hear, but in General, you can install any OS and check if and how it works.

    The only thing that will be damaged is HARD drive recovery option, so I hope that you created the recovery disc until you have installed the Win8 version.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • How can I increase the video memory dedicated Satellite C660?

    Hello

    I'm on a Toshiba Satellite C660 and I was wondering if it was possible to increase the minimum 64 MB dedicated video memory. I've got 1696 MB total available graphics memory and 8gbs of RAM.
    I have had a look in the BIOS settings but couldn't find something useful.

    Thanks in advance guys.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about it. There is not an option where you can change it manually. It works automatically.

    With more RAM, more memory will be used for graphical operations.

  • Upgrade of RAM video on Satellite C660/C660D

    HY,

    Stayes manual that I can improve my video memory dedicated, up to 4 GB, but I can't find this option in Advanced Option or in the Bios, I have a Satellite C660/C660D.

    Furthermore, my CPU is supporting 16 GB and my motherboard also, why can't I put on 16?, because in the manual it says that 8!

    Kind regards

    r

    I don't know what model you have exactly, but video Ram cannot be upgraded directly. All you can do is upgrade RAM. With more RAM, more memory will be used for graphical operations.

  • Satellite C660 - 217 Wndows 7-149 gb data (D) used

    I have restored my Toshiba Satellite C660-217, Wndows 7 laptop to the default value of the plant, but when I checked in the folder of the computer, the data (D) space (149 GB) serves all upward. When I checked the individual files in data (D), it does not add up to 149 GB.

    I was wondering why this is and can I do?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    As I m not wrong not the laptop was equipped with a 320 GB HARD drive.
    I guess it has been partitioned and three partitions are available (a very small partition is hidden and contains the files of Windows 7 repair)
    The other two partitions, C and D are visible.

    The C partition has been formatted before installation of the system. The D partition is not affected if you use HARD drive recovery option. In case you have used the recovery disk, partition D should be formatted to and recovery files would be saved once again.

    Hello

    I think you should just change the setting in the power of Win 7 options.
    Check this doc from Toshiba:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD12017W0001R01.htm

    Here, you should take a look at the option named the cover and the Power button.
    _Lid narrow action_
    + Specifies the computer response to closing the cover of the display: standby, enter Hibernation mode, shut down (shut down), or nothing to do. This option provides a convenient way to put the computer to sleep before taking a plane or leave the Office for a meeting. +

  • Re: Satellite C660 - fan starts then stops

    Hello

    Sorry for my English, I'm French, I have a Toshiba Satellite C660 laptop a few days ago and I noticed that the fan starts and stops every minute at any time when the temperature exceeds about 40 degrees (noted with SpeedFan).
    Even if I'm just the desktop, the Internet. However, it does not heat up much. Is this normal?

    Before I had a laptop and the fan stops, but almost never had low-noise. I prefer it, but it's can be a simple matter of habit for the Toshiba...?
