Satellite C660 - cracking noise

My laptop Toshiba Satellite C660/C660D started doing the cracking noise today and just after a month of purchase. I tried everything, including the verification of my cables, running the check disk, tools of diagnosis of Toshiba and Toshiba HDD/SDD alert showing my hard drive works well. But the crunch is simply not stop. I backed up just in case.

Please help me. How can I stop this noise?

Hi r.lima,

To be honest I put t think you can do a lot to solve this problem of cracking noise wait contact an authorized service provider for help because it must be a hardware problem but that s just my personal opinion.

On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of aspic. Just look for an ASP in your country and get in touch with the guys. I m what they help you and will tell you more information on this subject and what to do now.

Good luck! :)

  • Satellite C660 - crack in display without reason

    Hello

    I got laptop series satellite C of Media markt Netherlands 20.09.2012 last month.

    20-09-2012(Thu-8:45 PM): I bought the laptop
    21-09-2012(Fri-11:00 PM): I'm trying to install the operating system and run in the @ & 'lack of shift key. It is a clear defect in the system in the first place.
    22-09-2012(Sat-4:30 PM): I took the laptop to the store and asked for a replacement. The helpdesk team simply changed the settings and said that it had been fixed, and gave me the pack.
    22-09-2012(Sat-7:00 PM): when I tried to connect again to my laptop I found the cracked screen.

    When I searched on the Web site I found many face the same question.
    But at least a few months after years.
    But a new laptop without even using a single day becoming unusable is not fair.

    Now I wonder to pay more than half of the actual price of the laptop for repair.
    I firmly believe that I received a defective part of the laptop and request now to pay for it.

    Either, I want a replacement for the one I bought, or do I want to go back to my laptop and get my money back.

    Kindly help.

    Thank you best regards &,.
    Schott Perfecto.

    Hello

    It s really strange that a screen breaks without reason.
    For me it s not understand how this can happen.
    However, I highly recommend a certified maintainer Toshiba in your country requesting assistance.

    Please can someone advice me on this.

    Hello

    My HARD drive sometimes creates similar sounds.
    I'm not quite sure about this sound but I save data always because some time ago one of my hard drives is dead and I could lose all my data so I would not have some backups created in the past of m

    I recommend doing the same thing
    Who knows what s wrong with the HARD drive, but I know with certainty that sooner or later all hard disks will die

  • Satellite C660 deploys continually tapping/knocking sound

    I recently bought a Satellite C660 and after that I turned it on, there is this continual sound plays. This is a second gap between each beat and it's really annoying. There seems not to be problems with all programs, diagnoses were clear showing no abnormalities.
    I've only had this top tour 4 weeks, I should send it to Toshiba for study?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey,.

    This sound is perhaps just a Windows navigation sound you hear this noise if you cut the spakers too?

    If so, I would try to turn off all Windows sounds in the control panel.

    Colors are the same so I tried to change order of the cables but it helps doesn t.

  • Satellite C660-11W - Num pad does not work

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-11W, which I bought 10 months ago. Since October, the num of my laptop keypad does not work, but when I press the "Num Lock" button, it makes a noise as I had turned on the StickyKeys.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Hello

    Looks a bit bad operation of the keyboard.
    I think that the service technician if you want to initialize the digital keypad function by Test & Diagnostic software and will replace the keyboard to fail the test.

  • 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...?

    Hello

    Try it please change cooling method option in the advanced power settings.

    Open power options > n a click your power profile that you use > choose the advanced power options > Toshiba Power Saver Settings > cooling method > change two optimized battery options.

    I think that this will reduce fan activity.

    Please test and send feedback.

  • Satellite C660 does not work after disasembling

    I just tried to solve the overheating problem on my satellite C660 to disassemble and clean the fan
    However I inevitably messed up somehow.

    Now when I try it lights up, fan runs, hard drive makes noises and the screen remains empty for about 30 seconds, then the fan goes crazy for a second and everything turns off again.

    Someone if there is something specific I broke and if it's fixable or replaceable.

    See you soon,.
    Tim

    How to clean the fan?

    Did you get a Youtube video on how to disassemble? If this is not the case, look for a video and disassemble the laptop again. They replay and reassemble the laptop while you watch.
    You probably forgot to put a connector or a cable sheet or not tight enough.

    Good luck!

  • 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.
    > Satellite C660 (PSC1LA-00J001) looks brand new, but I don't think it would be useful to take to get fixed.
    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 - 10 d Operating System not found PXE - E61: Media test failure

    I have a Satellite C660 - 10 d, which is part of the 1 year warranty which has suddenly decided it won't start and makes a strange noise that sounds mechanical.

    I tried the options F2 & F11 at startup, but I always return to the same messages some options I try:

    Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller v1.23 (28/07/10)
    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
    Operating system not found.

    I can't go beyond that and get the laptop doesn't work, which leads to my second problem.

    It is under warranty so I thought I would sign in for repair. The serial number is recognized in the section Product Support My. But when I try to enter in the repair section, it is said

    ERROR: serial not valid number.
    Please check and try again.
    Then gives a number to call which only works weekdays.

    So, I have what appears to be a broken laptop that I can currently connect to repair.
    If you are able to help with one of these problems, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I'm quite sure that the problem is related to the defective HARD drive.
    This would also explain the mechanical noise when starting.

    PXE - E61: Media test failure appears as the laptop attempts to boot from LAN.
    Why? Because the disk HARD could not be found and the CD/DVD drive does not contain a startup disk.

    So the BIOS switched to LAN

    This is why replacement of HARD drive should help you with this problem.
    If the warranty is valid, get in touch with a local ASP in your country. Maybe you could get a HARD disk which could be replaced easily

  • Satellite C660 - jerking and seeds regularly during media playback

    Hello, my Satellite C660 experiences technical problems when playing audio and video. I play 320KO ripped mp3s in Winamp and generally Watch youtube when the glitch regularly and jerk, audio and video. These occur about one second at a time, but the noise is very noticeable and unpleasant and produced regularly when I am on my computer.

    I thought it might be the problem with CPU/memory, but I literally only Chrome and Winamp plays and have turned off a lot of startup programs. If there is anything I could do to fix this problem, any help would be greatly appreciated (even something to take less noisy and noticeable breaks!).

    Hi saurus,.

    If you can see this problem on the preinstalled version of Windows 7 in Toshiba or is it your own installation?
    Also is it on the internal speakers or headphones? Have you tested the two?

    It's not always easy to tell which is the reason, but in your case, I'll try to update the audio driver. You can download a newer version on the official page of Toshiba driver download:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Before installing the new version remove the former first. Then restart your computer and install the downloaded version of the audio driver.

    To be honest, you can be happy that your laptop works because many people have had bad luck after the BIOS update fail.

    In my opinion, you shouldn't be playing with BIOS updates. At the end you may damage the BIOS update and your laptop won't boot at all. Maybe you should contact Toshiba service provider and clarify this point. Ask for help. They should do it for you. If something goes wrong, it is not your fault.

    Be careful with this. This is just my opinion and advice for you. Don t change well running system.

  • Satellite C660-1CQ - graphics pretty tense horizantally after the installation of Win10

    I have a laptop Satellite C660-1CQ.

    After that I have upgraded to windows 10, screen, icons, wallpapers are stretched horizontally. (Looks the same as the graphics in safe mode). I use it in normal mode, but everything is still as safe mode. everything works well but the computer completely resembles the safe mode.

    And the computer seems a little slow now and fan started making noises.

    I think that your model of laptop is not supported for Win10, so it is possible that you will be faced with some problems. Can you change display resolution?
