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.

My PC works fine and no problem, recently upgraded to widows 10 - no problem. All of a sudden (and oddly enough) I have this error. I need activate the new software of reason on Propellerheads.se site. The site loaded and I saw the image for about 2 seconds and then the screen went black. The music I was paying more (so I knew that Windows was still running) but the PC was insensitive - Alt.Tab, start, Control/Alt/Delete non of them worked. The Sleep button worked but when I woke up Windows screen remains black. Only has a hard reset. So I tried to access the Propellerheads.se with Microsoft Edge - it worked fine. So I uninstalled Firefox, made default client of edge and made the activation. Then reinstalled Firefox, but still the same problem. I have reset the default user agent, delete all the cookies/history etc., Firefox update, run in safe mode, disabled plugins. Yet Propellerheads.se will not load successfully. I'm not running edge - my preference is Firefox - BUT!

service interactive message caused the screen to go black
This interactive Service Message has popped up for the first time today, 8 / / 20/2012 on my PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit sp1. I clicked on the option to see the message and the screen became black as he looks with my external monitor is on, but the PC is turned off or put into operation. Because he was in a stable condition and I used it I do not understand why a message would be to shut down my PC (laptop). Fearing it was a virus, I turned off the machine.
I'm now back to start and expect to go down mode without failure due to an abnormal termination.
Is this typical behavior of this messaging service? An another small pop-up said that "a program had stopped but could not determine what program it was."

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/C660D starts not (black screen)
So this morning after having attempted to power my Toshiba Satellite C660/C660D upward I met up with a black screen.
The power lights both work and light, fans the vortex when I turn on but nothing ever comes on the screen, I was wondering if someone could help here?
It is less than 3 months.
To be honest I really don t know how to help you.
Remove the battery, leave the laptop for a while and try to start the laptop with AC power only. Try to do several times with or without battery. If nothing is done it must be a hardware problem, so I recommend you contact Toshiba service and ask for help.Guarantee is valid, then there is no reason to worry about this.

How can I disable tap-to-click on the Satellite C660/C660D?
There is no option to disable it on this laptop, I looked for the answer online but nothing, there seems to be no way to do it on this laptop model. I tried to download the new driver for touchpad of the site but had absolutely no effect and gave me more options to turn it off, it has changed nothing. Now completely stuck and its driving me crazy!
The mouse click also on its own randomly even if Im not to touch, always seems to hurt when im game.
I still want to use the touch pad to move the pointer autour, just don't want to use it to click.
As far as I know the Satellite C660 supports Synaptics touchpad.
The Synaptics touchpad driver should support the tap to click option.In order to ensure that Synaptics driver has been installed.
Then go to control panel-> mouse-> last tab (button settings)
Now, you need to access the properties of Synaptics and here you should find the option called tapping -
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 C660D - Webcam color or black and white?
Hello
I was just wondering if the web camera on the Satellite C660/C660D is color or black and white?
If its color, how can I change the color?Thank you.
Hello
Of course he came s color.
It s a common webcam you have just black and white webcam photo?
In your case I would recommend you the webcam software options.
Start the camera Assistant software, and in properties, you can find the option called backlight Compensation. Check this option.
Also in the Image tab, you will find some controls like: brightness, gamma, hue, saturation and sharpness. Play with these settings. -
Satellite C660-155 cuts often cause of overheating
My laptop Satellite C660-155 cuts often cause of overheating. What is the problem with my laptop?
How can it be solved?
Hello
I think that air can circulate properly and this leads to a higher temperature.
Don't forget the vents at the bottom and on the side of the laptop are not stuck and blocked!
Always use the laptop on the table and make sure that there is enough free space around the laptop.Also use jet of compressed air to remove dust and debris cooling fans! You can also use your vacuum cleaner, but in this case, I would be very careful because strong aspiration can destroy the fans!

Satellite A75: Permanent vertical line on the screen
I had a Satellite A75 for about 1 1/2 years and a few weeks ago a thin line from top to bottom on the screen. The line appears as soon as the power comes on and is constantly when the computer is turned on. The color of the line depends on what should be the color of the screen. If the screen should be black, the line is green and if the screen should be white, the line is light purple. And all the rest.
I think it's probably something wrong with the screen itself or the graphics card. Does anyone have ideas on how to determine the cause of the line and what it would take to fix it?
Jon
HI jon,
The normal test to identify this type of aberration of the display is to connect an external monitor to the laptop. Then if the problem also appears on the external monitor, it's a fault with the graphics card. If the problem does not appear while the fault lies with the LCD display itself.
My personal feeling is that the LCD is likely to be at fault, but any authorized service center would be able to test this for you.
Kind regards

Slow Super Satellite C660/C660D
My mother bought a Tosh Satellite C660/C660D about 5 months ago. On the first day, it was slower than a snail with a cold.
* Problem: *.
When you click the Start button, it may take a good 10-20 seconds for the menu is displayed. When you select say MS Word, which can take 30 to 40 seconds to load up. Even opening IE can take a good 30 seconds, then theres time for opening in addition to this Web site.Monitor system shows (between 3% and 7% CPU), (physical memory (84% used): when the system is at rest, do nothing, not running programs.)
Laptop a Celeron 1.5 ghz, 1 GB RAM and Windows 7 (64-bit). I know that's not the best laptop there, but I think that's stud react a little less than he does.
Have installed many, mainly from MS office. No games or graphics programs.
WHAT IVE DONE SO FAR *.
* Does the Toshiba, build in the system recovery. (Several times)
* Reg clean, clean, Defrag system
* Update the BIOS & Chip SetAny ideas?
> System Monitor shows (between 3% and 7% CPU), (physical memory (84% used)
In my opinion, you should pass the RAM.
84% is already used by the system, so it takes more time to start other applications.
Your laptop uses 1 GB of RAM running Win7 64 bit guy I put t surprise me that your laptop is slow.I recommend you to upgrade the RAM to 2 GB or better 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM
