Satellite C660 - Blank - no exit - external display OK

I recently bought a C660 on ebay as a project of repair of non-working, listed as having no output on the LED screen, but works fine on an external monitor.

After stripping it down, I found that the 40-pin to the LED panel connector has 3 pins damaged on the left side, so assuming that it is the question, I've got another cable and rebuilt. However, still no output for the Panel LED, but everything works fine on an external monitor.

As I have a new Panel to spare in stock, the next step was to replace the LED panel - still no output, except for the external monitor.

I checked the setting for video output (Fn + F5), and it is no different on any setting.

I saw a couple of threads here where people have problems with no video output after a BIOS update (however I do not know if this was done or not in this case).

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could check to see what could be the problem?

Any help much appreciated.

If the BIOS update fails, the unit does not illuminate and translates the black screen, but has nothing to do with your problem. The external monitor works properly this BIOS is OK.

Your problem is related to the faulty internal display or the connection between the monitor and the motherboard.
Both must be checked!

  • Satellite C660-2F7 - external display on TV via the VGA output

    Hello

    I try to view my laptop on an external device, but do not know if my laptop supports what I am trying to do. If anyone knows if I can do that or not, or if there is a work around, I would be very happy.
    I have a standard digital TV that I am trying to use it as an external display. I use the VGA out port on my C660 2f7.

    I have a VGA-to-AV/S-Video Converter (i.e. vga converts to yellow and S-video cables av red and black) and all ports are connected to the TV via a cable S-video to S-video and AV-to-AV cable. But the computer does not seem dectet anything. I tried 'Connect to a projector' and "Connect to an external device" on the Control Panel, as well as the equivielent keys shortcut, "duplicate them" and "extend". On 'Change the appearance of your displays' I put display to VGA. On "Graphics properties" Intel > General settings > display, I have only options "monitor" and "integrated display.

    And under "Graphics properties" > monitor/tv settings it says "monitor/tv settings are not supported." Does this mean that I can't do what I'm doing? and that my laptop only supports computer monitors and external display? If so, is there no work around that I can use with this or not?

    Thanks in advance.

    Because this means that you can see the Toshiba splash screen at the start then the screen turns white?
    You see something on the external monitor? If you didn t test this situation, please do

    I don t think that the display is affected, since you can see the Toshiba homepage
    Not sure about the GPU but I think is GPU would be affected, then the Toshiba start screen would not be visible too. In your case, it is

    Well, try this work around:
    -Remove the battery and AC adapter
    -Press the power button / stop along 30 sec
    -Bring the two parties together and try to turn on the unit.

    You can also check if one of the memory modules may cause this

  • Satellite C660 - no display

    I have a portable Satellite C660 is only a couple months unused and too expensive. I turned it on the other day, but the screen is completely blank. The laptop makes sounds 'beeps '. One, fairly high long beep, followed by two beeps in burst but the same height. This cycle occurs every 30 seconds or more. It's okay if it is plugged in or running on the battery, the results are the same. I also noticed that the machine does is not that warm. When I got the laptop connected earlier I had to leave it for a while answering the phone. Since he was not the laptop has a red light and a green light - no flashing. When I came back after about 10 minutes, the two lights were switched to green and the beep was the same. I have gone through the user manual and have tried the suggestions re: display contrast, brightness and so on, but nothing happens. I'm pretty p - close the laptop is only a few weeks old as I mentioned earlier... Any help would be appreciated. PS - it is still under warranty.

    Hello

    If your computer laptop isn't able to boot and only a few beep it means that a hardware malfunction has been detected. It s not a software problem, so you have to contact an authorized service provider and leave guys check your device to find errors.

    It s while the laptop is still under warranty because these hardware repairs are free and covered by the guarantee. So, contact your local authorized service provider and ask for help. I'm sure that the problem can be clarified with the guys :)

  • Satellite C660 - 1 7 - installation newer Intel display driver

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660 - 1 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 64 bit running with processor Intel Core i3 [email protected] GHz and 4 GB of RAM. I use my computer laptop great graphics etc with Adobe CS5 and Corel Paint shop Pro Photo x 3 etc.

    After only 2 months, I received an alert HDD saying he would fail soon. Yes, under warranty 2 weeks ago Toshiba arranged for a retailer authorized to collect and replace the drive it HARD that they did. Since then I can't use my graphics software. Now, I remember when I got my laptop I've had the same problem and it had to do with my graphics/video card and OpenGL. My own laptop and Toshiba Site repeated that all drivers are up-to-date. But when I went on the Intel site, I found that the Intel HD graphics card was not up-to-date. As soon as I updated, I was able to use all of my graphics programs.

    The drivers installed without any problem at all. This time, although I gave a recovery to the garage to repair disc when my graphics software did not work. I went on the Intel site and once again there are more available updated drivers. However, when I try to install it says that I have now modified drivers from the manufacturer of the laptop and I have to go on the Toshiba site. Whatever it is, the drivers, I need aren't on the Toshiba site and I tried all possible ways I think to install those I want.
    Help, please!

    Programs open when I click on for example Paint shop pro x 3 but when I go to save a picture or change it crashes and 'unresponsive' and I have to use the Task Manager to end the process. I need the same drivers I had on my laptop before the HARD drive has been replaced but can t bring Intel as Toshiba seems to have given up on updates.

    Any help is welcome! Thanks in advance. John Scott

    Hi John,.

    The problem is that only the Toshiba drivers are pre-tested on your system. Install the other drivers happens on your own risk, because they are not tested by Toshiba.

    In any case, simply download the drivers on the Intel Web site. If the setup.exe file display you an error about incompatible drivers install them manually (I know that this message from my laptop). So go to Device Manager > right click on the graphic card > driver update. Then, choose the Advanced installation where you can choose the directory and the driver yourself. You are now able to install this driver :)

  • Satellite C660 - green light comes on but no display

    Hello

    I have 3 laptops Satellite C660 all do the same things.
    The power is turn on and get the green lights but no display on the screen. It happens from time to time.

    Anyone know what I could be the motherboard is going or is it over heating?

    Thank you

    I can't say with certainty what part could be affected, but fact is that if the Toshiba start screen does not appear at the beginning of the startup procedure. This means that the self-test isn t power began and could not be passed correctly. This could be linked to the problem of the motherboard or part connected to the motherboard. That is to say. RAM modules.

    I recommend if possible, check the modules single RAM.

    High internal temperature may affect the functionality of the laptop too. But you can avoid these problems, clean the cooling and cooling grids fans from time to time.

    The internal GPU is part of the Intel Core i3 - 370 M CPU and Intel HD graphics Charter.

    I m wondering why the update is so important to you, I think you won't get all the new features and you'll notice no performance gain.

    This procedure should work, especially if you use the Advanced installation that allows you to point to the folder that contains the files to update the driver of the pilot

  • Satellite A10: RGB Port is not installed - can not use external display

    Satellite A10 the RGB PORT is not installed & cannot be used as external display. I tried to install the communication or COM 1. interrupt code. What are the possible solutions?

    Hello

    What did you mean by "not installed"?
    Generally, you don't need to install anything. You don't need any drivers for this port 3.
    Windows XP drivers should work properly.

    Please check device manager if there are errors or yellow exclamation points.
    If the problem occurs for a short time, you can try to use the WinXP restore tool.
    This tool will reduce the BONE until the start.

  • Broken screen, external display mode standby with Satellite A10 S203

    Of my Toshiba Satellite A10 S203 screem is broken, it's all guts, the colors and the black spaces. I plugged the laptop with an external display, but as soon as Windows starts the external display is in stand by. How can I change this?

    Hello

    I had this problem as well before. After Windows starts the video reset Resets the video output to LCD screen instead of external monitor. Once this is the case try to use the Fn + F5. If this does not work, you might be able to start and press F8, once it gives you the windows selection menu go to safe mode. Once there go to video properties and change the default settings for the external monitor and try to restart normally. Should do wonders. Hope this helps, if not let me know.

  • Satellite C660 - M21G SM bus controller and display driver installation problem

    Hello

    I recently bought toshiba Satellite C660 laptop M21G with windows 7 32 bit installed (not not licensed) and I installed all the hardware drivers except the SM Bus controller and driver of Nvidia GeForce graphics card, this because it will not terminate on the web site of toshiba, or other medium there but when I try to install the Chipset utility or the display driver (driver VGA) an error message appears in the two installation indicates that I have not matched the software requirments of minimum requirements for the installation of the display adapter and chipset.

    I don't know why these requirments does not include in the error message?

    I have more than 12 hours, trying to find a way to install the display driver, because the standard VGA driver that installed windows 7 (32-bit) is very poor and I can't run any games or smooth video game
    I'm hurt and I need help

    Best regards

    To my knowledge, the Satellite C660-M21G belongs to the series of PSC1SE.
    I m wondering where did you get the right driver for this series display
    The laptop seems to bear the NVIDIA GeForce 315 M card

    I checked the page European Toshiba and not all driver Win 7 32 bit drivers are available on the European driver page I think you tried to install the wrong graphics driver or is not compatible and that's why this error message during the installation of the drivers.

    But it seems that Win 7 64-bit driver is available for this series, that's why I recommend you to test the driver for Win 7 64 bit.
    In this case, you need to install the Realtek card reader controller driver SM bus controller can be the card reader There is also a version of driver Win 7 64 bit on the European driver page
