• Satellite C660 - keyboard problem

  I have a problem with the keyboard on my Satellite c660 laptop, reference number: PSC1LE.
  The best way I can describe it is like a stuttering problem because it comes and go (very well for a few hours, then not for a short period).

  The problem is that, for reasons unknown to me, I continue to experience a problem where the A, N and Enter keys do not work when you press. Sometimes pressing the key several times (they they are not frozen) is simply the letter out, but I can not continue to press the time key to five or six to get a letter. Just to mention, I've not spilled anything on the keyboard.

  I did full virus and spyware scans but have found no problem.
  I have done tonight all the updates of windows available to me, but it does not appear to have done the trick.

  After the restart that follows the device updates all worked them for about 15 minutes, so that the same three keys stopped working again. On this occasion, it lasted only a few minutes, and now I'm writing this with the same keyboard.

  Note: I do not use the original keyboard. I changed the jury due to minor property damage, but he did private.
  However, this was done most of the year there and worked flawlessly since installation, until this new edition took place in recent weeks.

  If anyone has new recommendations or suggestions as to what can be the cause or solutions and then share it please.

  I think you'd understand that nobody is able to say why your keyboard malfunctioned.
  Only if the hardware of the laptop has been scanned/verified, it would be possible to say what's wrong here
  But as General, there is a good workaround solution to diagnose the problem.

  You could connect the external USB keyboard to the laptop and could check if the same problems with the mentioned buttons will occur.

  In case the external USB keyboard would work correctly, I think that your internal keyboard is the troublemaker in such a case, you will need to replace the keyboard once more.

• Satellite C660 - screen problem

  When my wife got off the plane a luggage handler helped pushing his mother in wheelchair and dragging one of the bags behind him allowing my wife to take care of the rest of the luggage. Unfortunately, the laptop that sat on that bag decided that he didn't like the ride, he jumped the bag and tried to get into the terminal under its own power from the battery.

  There is no visible damage to the laptop as it was inside the bag and no crack or anything on the screen. When turn on the laptop, the screen may remain empty, flicker or it shows the log on and office but instead of white to white, it displays a purple rose, only showing not ecru is affected. Other colors appear correctly although they look as if the display is set to 256 colors or the use of the wrong driver.

  I plugged an external monitor to it and that works very well with the color. If the computer laptop screen flickers a light tap at the back of it he still will get, but the color is not corrected. I think it may be just a loose connection or wire cut between the screen and the motherboard but don't know if the color change would be caused by the present.

  Satellite C660 (PSC1LA-00J001) looks brand new, but I don't think it would be useful to take to get fixed.

  Any ideas on what could be the problem?

  It took me 2 1/2 hours to post this same exact message because somewhere in there is profanity or inappropriate language. :(

  Hello

  On this virtual path, it is not possible to say with certainty what the problem is here. Your laptop must be disassembled and all should be checked. Graphics card seems to be OK, so it must be a problem with connectors, cable or with the screen itself.

  Why not? Same display exchange is not so problematic. Googling around you will find many online stores where you can order the new display, if necessary. Even on eBay you can get it at reasonable price.

  If you do not have experience with this kind of things I recommend you contact the closest to the Toshiba service provider or some independent IT service and ask for help. Check what options are available and how much you have to pay for the repair.

• Satellite C660 - touchpad problems

  Hello

  I have problems with the touchpad on my Satellite C660. I have only had it for about 2 & 1/2 months, and the problem seems to be worse.

  I tried to check for drivers, changing the settings of the touchpad, but nothing helped.
  The main problem is that when you move your finger on the pad, the cursor will not move, however it also scrolls the page more or less important size.

  I'm quite frustrated because it is essentially a new machine.

  Everyone has ideas, or should I try to get replaced by a new one.

  Thank you

  James

  Looks like you're triggering gestures. For example, if you press the right side of the touchpad, it will allow the scroll bar.

  You can disable these features in the advanced Touchpad settings.

  On this virtual path, it is not possible to say what the problem is here and give some concrete tips what you can do about it.
  I would like to have your laptop in front of me, to see what is happening exactly and how your laptop reacts with different commands. In my opinion, it is just a means to understand all your problems.

  Please don t get me wrong, but I would highly recommend you to find someone who has a very good PC know-how and ask for help.

• Satellite C660-223 - system caution: "" problem with cooling detected system "".

  When I carry my Satellite C660-223 somewhere for example wear at home to College in a protective case in my backpack, I sometimes get a window warning flashing upward every 20 seconds or so said system + "warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." Please turn the computer off immediately and return it for service. +

  This only happens when I transported somewhere and as a first step, that these warnings system flashed only sometimes upwards after I hauled somewhere, but in the last two years, he started to get pretty much whenever I took the laptop somehwere. When the system warnings blink until the computer doesn't feel a little warmer than normal. no danger of overheating, immediately.

  I didn't fix it because the problem seems to resolve itself the next time that I carried the computer somewhere. It's a very strange problem where the short-term solution was the same as the cause: as in I would take the laptop somewhere, the warning system flash upwards and I learned that take "for a walk" would fix somehow everything which was the 'problem '. I solved the problem in this way too often so he could be a coincidence.

  So for a while it wasn't really a problem because I just didn't take the laptop anywhere. But the warning system has recently start flashing to the top if I wear just the laptop on the floor, and the warning system does not disappear with my method incredibly non-tech-savvy to "go for a walk", which I am sure many here would give something to laugh :).

  The obvious answer is that I need to get the service pronto thing, but I'm in the middle of final exams and the situation of tech in my house means I can't leave the laptop away for service for who knows how long when I really need to study.

  Responses, I'm hoping to get are ideas as to what actually caused this problem and short-term solutions that are a little better informed that my approach "going for a walk".

  I think THAT what is, is that the movement to carry your laptop around in a backpack something within the done cooling system moving out of place causing the evil TI work. I say this because, while writing this thread I was turn the laptop over and over again to get a look at the stickers on the back and the practice that seems to have "solved" the problem of warning system because this window flashes up while he was only a few minutes ago.

  It seems so that all component moved his place before been moved back again by the movement to turn the laptop over and over. And I was not even take him for a walk!

  Any help? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  This notification may appear for different reasons.
  The alert might appear due to
  (1) cooling system malfunction
  (2) blocked cooling vents or fans
  (3) software question (VAP - added value package or BIOS)

  Malfunction of the cooling system, you should contact the service agents at the difficulty.

  In case of a blocked vent and fans it s enough to clean the parts using a jet of compressed air.
  This allows to get rid of dust inside the cooling module.

  If the vents are not blocked and you still see this message, check the application of the service station for updates on your computer. If any are found, download and install.
  You can try to uninstall or update the Toshiba value added Package. This package contains a few essential tools and utilities that control the cooling system too.
  Also check BIOS update.

  But if you continue to receive this error, your laptop may require repair

• Satellite C660 - 13r PSC0LE - BIOS update problem

  How can I flasch BIOS with other versions,
  His big problem to work

  Thank you and I hope you can help me...

  Hello

  The version of the BIOS should be mentioned in the BIOS settings.
  Turn on the device, press F2 and verify the version here.

  Also I recommend the settings of the BIOS back to default settings.
  In the BIOS settings, you will need to press F9 to get the default value. Then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
  Restart the machine and check how many processes are running in the context of the BONE.

  I recommend disabling of certain non-essential processes in msconfig.
  There, you can go to the Startup tab and could uncheck the unnecessary process.

• Connection problem with the satellite C660 - 24L

  Hello world

  I have a Toshiba satellite c660 - 24L running windows 7 and have had a problem with internet connection in the last two days.

  Marketing, the internet works very well for around a minute and then I lose the connection. The computer says still connected but the network map displays a problem between the computer and the Wi - Fi router. After that restart the internet works fine again, and then disconnects after ~ 1 min.

  A few times, the computer froze, and gave me a blue screen and memory dump, and then a forced restart.

  Computer behaving the same way when connected and disconnected from the mains.

  All other devices will connect to the router talk-talk with no problems.

  Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

  Lewis.

  Have you noticed a few problems if you use the local network connection?
  Original Toshiba WLAN driver is pre-installed on your computer?

  To be honest, it is not easy to say why this show is starting to happen so suddenly.
  Try to back up OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool just to see if the problem will still be there.

  Hello

  With regard to the problem of keyboard:

  From my point of view of the few sounds of keyboard described as a material problem internal related dysfunction... probably in order to solve this problem, the keyboard should be replaced... just to make sure that your internal keyboard is affected, please join the external USB keyboard and check if it works properly.
  If you see any problems, the problem is no doubt by a malfunctioning internal keyboard and as mentioned earlier, you will need to replace the keyboard.

  Regarding the touchpad:

  I'm not sure if the two issues are interrelated, but the touchpad can be disabled by using the function keys... I recommend you to check this... (function key details are also in the user manual)... you can also try reinstalling the touchpad drive.

  Tip: this forum contains many discussions about similar problems... so I recommend you to read the recommendations posted in this community.
