• Satellite C660-1 p 3 - poor sound quality

  Hello.

  I bought this phone today and I'm so confused.
  The sound quality is MEDIUM-low.

  No bass, no color just a little of his dish.
  Even a simple cell phone got its best, then my laptop doesn't.

  Where is the so-called "Toshiba Bass enhanced system"?

  Can someone help me? I tried to figure this out for a few hours and I have nothing.
  I have re-installed drivers etc and still nothing.

  Advice or tips would be appreciated.

  Help!
  Thanks in advance!

  I agree with Akuma. You should not expect too much. The C series is not a multimedia notebook that would be more costly.
  I recommend using external speakers, I also use external speakers it s good option to get better sound quality!

• Continual loss of wireless connection with Satellite C660

  Hello

  I hope that someone out there might be able to help.

  I've had my Satellite C660 for about 18 months now. Since the first day we had continual problems connecting to the wireless network. It connects but then lost the connection again a few minutes later, and then after a few more minutes, he reconnects. And the circle continues. An Ethernet cable didn't improve things.

  Initially, the problem is solved by leaving the laptop computer charger plugged, randomly that solved the problem and that is not ideal, I went with it because it worked.

  We have new broadband services and the router installed and the problem came back now, but this time the fix of power cable does not work, and once again an Ethernet cable does not work.

  The laptop is now continues to lose the connection, and it's very frustrating. I have 2 other laptops from Dell, 2 tablets, and they all work very well, never losing connection.

  Can someone give me it please advice on what could cause this problem and how to fix it (easily!).

  I can't wait to hear your thoughts and thank you in advance for your help.

  > Initially solved the problem by letting the laptop computer charger plugged, randomly that solved the problem and that is not ideal, I went with it because it worked.

  I think WiFi disconnects due to energy savings.
  As you say, linking the main specifications address the issue. I think because of the connection of the AC adapter, the laptop switches to another profile of power where Wlan energy saving is disabled.

  Therefore, I recommend to change the power profile that is used in battery mode.
  -> Panel-> power option choose the power profile that you use in battery mode
  Now, select advanced to change power settings
  You will find an option called settings of the adapter wireless (or something like that)
  The mode option of battery and AC adapter must use the performance parameters

• Satellite C660-2RC: need Win XP drivers for sound and graphics

  Thanks for you support!

  > Toshiba Hello, how are you?

  LOL :), it seems to be a forum for a user to buddy don t think you meet someone from Toshiba here.

  > I need Xp for the use of old softwarer for medical activity. (not compatible with Vista or Win7)
  Didn t you know that you can install the incompatible software in compatibility mode for Win XP?

  Here's a nice Microsoft documentation:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

  PS: You must first install for Win XP SP3 before installing the audio driver.
  The display driver is Intel. So there were also on the page of Intel graphics driver.
  But Toshiba driver European page contains two drivers too.

• Satellite C660 - continuous wireless network down

  A few months ago I bought the Satellite C660 and wireless network continues to fall so often that it is unusable, I tried updateing driver but did not help
  Any other suggestions?

  Hey,.

  Is it so difficult using the forum search? ;)

  Don t get me wrong, there is a lot of discussion here in the forum about WLAN on C660 so I m wondering why you didn't find similar topics on this behavior.

• 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

  

• Satellite C660 - continues to enter the system repair

  Can someone help me?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C660. Yesterday, it crashed. When it restarted, it went in the repair of the system and whenever I rebooted, it entered the system repair. Don't know if it is relivant but I get a windown come with drvload.exe back.

  So I did a factory restore hdd thinking this would clearly be the problem, but it didn't. Now I always get a repair system each time I do updates of mircosoft when I restart, more I can't hardly open programs like firefox, add and remove programs.

  I now use a check of HDD to see if I have bad sectors, have also scan mcfee which showed no virus.

  Any suggestions would be grateful because do not know what to try next.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  > So I did a factory restore hdd thinking this would clearly be the problem, but it didn't.
  That would mean he s no malfunction of the software and the problem seems to be hardware related. HARD drive recovery can restore the original settings of the software box and they are pre-tested by Toshiba. So, theoretically, he could be sector failed HARD drive, RAM failure or something else

  > Now, I always get a repair system each time I do updates of mircosoft
  This would mean that the problem appears only after Windows update or I understand something wrong?

• 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 - 19G - the warranty without Internet?

  I just bought a Satellite C660 - 19G. It is for use at home, and I have no intention of never connect to the Internet. So, how can I save the guarantee - which seems to need an Internet connection?

  Can anyone provide an address (snail may or by e-mail) that I can send the details in order to register the warranty?

  Hey,.

  Of course, you can save your laptop without an Internet connection but as far as I know that's possible only if you go to the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > devices & Services > Warranty & Service registration

  But it sounds strange to me if you want to register your laptop by email if you don t have an Internet connection at home and how you can access the forum?

  In any case, visit the Web from Toshiba to save it. :)

  Hey,.

  I agree with BobRock_1. All the drivers and tools that you can find on the official website of Toshiba. Your model is compatible with Windows XP. :-)

  But before starting with the installation of the drivers, I recommend the installation of Service Pack 3 for XP. It contains many security updates and also two patches for the sound card you need. Otherwise, you are not able to install audio driver properly.

  You can download SP3 from Microsoft's official website. The installation is no problem, everything is done automatically. :)

• 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 - is don't turn does not on

  Hi all

  Just got a new laptop Satellite C660-PSC1LA-00J001, which initially had 2 GB of ram in the shop, but has been improved with another 2 GB to 4 GB (upgraded in-store). Have unpacked box and the connection of all the cords power supply etc., power button and a red light entry the. After that a little more an another green light came. After a few other time two lights are green. However, the screen remained black. I left it like that for two years and a half hours recommended to set the duration, but it did not a thing since. I tried to turn it off by holding the button for a few seconds, but it still doesn't react.

  It sounds like this problem is to do with the new ram module that has been placed in it? I don't know that I'm confident enough to begin by removing and trying again or not. Shall I take back to the store? Or maybe you guys ideas to try. I don't want to destroy the laptop when I have not used yet. I know a little about computers but did not trust in case of problem with my limited knowledge. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  The initial configuration is possible if your computer starts correctly and Windows should be started. If you n t see anything on the screen it seems to be a serious malfunction of equipment.

  Anyway, these things shouldn't t happen on a new laptop and in your case I return the phone and ask for a replacement model. I m that the seller has other C660 models in range to take another one that you can be happy with your new Toshiba computer ;)

• Satellite C660 - 11 k - noise in the hard drive

  Hello

  Whenever I have start browsing my laptop satellite c660 11 k there will be a kind of noise (hard to explain but beep like noise using come from older printers or fax machines) from my hard drive.

  Audible only when there is pin drop silence in the room. When the laptop was new there was no noise and later he started to come when I open windows navigation 4-5 and the sound comes now even if I start browsing. My hard drive is defective?

  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

• Re: New Satellite C660 blocked by password

  I know this will sound silly. but I'm an ODP buy my first computer (for the wife at Christmas) and I don't have any idea what I'm doing. We bought a Toshiba Satellite C660 - 28 tons Saturday

  During installation, it asked my wife to give it a name who did and she did also a password. She has set up ok and was able to access the internet, etc.. Later, she turned off and concluded that she could not use it again. When she starts the computer name is ok, but when asked for a password, the password chosen does not work. We have tried everything, every variation of his password etc etc and cannot enter into the computer again

  What can we do? our password does not work, and we do not know how to enter a new. Can someone help or advise what we can do? We have even not yet guaranteed. Thanks a lot if you can help.

  Try this first.
  Turn on the laptop and then press and hold F8. A screen should open with different options, using the arrow cursor / keys select "safe mode with networking". I hope that you will get a login with 'Administrator' as one of the users screen and if you select this account, and there will be no password. I suggest that you use "help and Support" of the Start button to see how you reset the password.

  If you now have your machine backward, I suggest that you look at the creation of a password reset disk.

  If you still cannot come back in the machine and then if you create backup discs, then you can restore the machine out of the box with them State
