Satellite C660 - gel intermittently

• Satellite C660 - intermittent failure of start

  Last month my Satellite C660 intermittently won't start. Frequency of failure seems to increase.

  The meter turns, the fan runs for 5 seconds (sometimes 15 seconds with an increase in speed at the end) and then the machine stops.

  No display of the bios.
  In this case only, the PSU batteries only or both connected. With HDD inside or outside, with or without ram.

  BIOS has been reset and updated and replace the bios battery.
  Without losing the connections internally.

  Product 19.3V DC POWER supply.
  No obvious pattern as to when it will start, but when it's W7 works very well.

  Would be grateful for any input.

  > In this case only, the PSU batteries only or both connected. With HDD inside or outside, with or without ram.
  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say with certainty what the problem, but it must be something with the motherboard. One thing would be interesting: when the operating system starts correctly can you use unlimited number of time or is just cuts off after a while?

• Key records is not on Satellite C660

  The keyboard on my month Satellite C660 often doesn't seem to work properly 100% - lack of characters, double and generally does not record the capital letter when you use the SHIFT key (shows apital rather than Capital). It is intermittent then maybe a software issue - something running in the background and taking up resources (although surprising because it is a fairly fast machine).

  I have Office 2010, Kaspersky, and is normally connected to the internet through a USB router.

  Has anyone else had this problem or found a solution?

  Hello

  Here there are similar topics in the forum on the behavior of the keyboard on Satellite C660. Have you found these topics?

  The problem can be easily solved because a BIOS update to the latest version:

• Satellite C660 - browser slider slide down of internet pages

  Hi people,

  I have a problem with a Toshiba Satellite C660 I on the temporary loan out of warranty.

  Win 7 Home 64 bit. SP1. 4 MB of ram.
  Recently, the original HARD drive failed and it was replaced with a Samsung HP - M 160MBB with a new Win 7 full reload from scratch.

  The old HDD has been completely destroyed and there was no available recovery disk.

  The problem is that the slider will not slide down of internet pages - sound of intermittent problems.

  I go on the internet and open any long page (for example, google news, a newspaper or even the site of Microsoft Troubleshooting).

  When I want to read further down the page I would usually put the trackpad pointer or the mouse pointer over the vertical slider on the right left click and hold and drag the slider to the bottom of the page.

  * Sometimes, that works well, but more often the picture vibrates and the cursor jitters and refuses to leave his post or pops up after a short trip down *, so that you can not read any further down than the original bottom of the screen.

  Sometimes it clears itself.
  Sometimes he might work ok for a while but then returned to this problem, it is not really usable as it is.

  It doesn't seem to be any obvious reason or because of this behavior, and sometimes I use the trackpad or usb mouse.

  I am on wireless and the signal is 'excellent' but I tried with a cable connection and the same thing happened.

  It doesn't happen with the horizontal slider, if for example, I reduce the width of the window in order to show the horizontal slider, even if it still occurs with the vertical slider.

  However if there is an additional vertical slider on the left side (in the case of Google News with his mini menu) this cursor behaves in the same way if the right slider is ongoing upward.

  There seems not to be with the long Word or Excel documents, suggesting that it is limited to the internet.
  I tried with IE9, Chrome and Firefox and the problem arises * with all three * browsers.

  The previous owner suggests now that this has happened with the original HARD disk, and the previous version of Windows 7.

  I checked that all the drivers are up to date. Win 7 is fully updated.
  No apparent virus problem.
  I swapped mouse without success.
  The Device Manager said that all affected devices are working OK.

  I tried the MS recommended routine clean boot without success, I suspect mainly because wireless internet becomes invalid if the fault would become unclear.

  Any ideas please?
  Cheers. Junior

  Hello

  I can say s material certainly NO problem.
  You take on internet browsers so I guess that the same issue does not happen using Word or other applications where the bar scroll right is available.

  Maybe the problem is caused by some add-ons installed for internet browsers
  Who knows what applications have been installed on the systems

  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/C660D - shift key causes the screen to go black

  After purchasing the Satellite C660/c660D less than a month ago.
  I am disappointed to see the SHIFT key (left), as well as the CTRL pressed, causing the screen to go black intermittently when you type my blog...

  Course not blogger like tested also in word.
  All the ideas that is weak given the reviews and prices...
  Help... dosnt do it every time, but most of the time. Not happy!

  It is a fault, I don't expect this brand

  Thanks for any help

  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.

• Satellite C660-1R1 - recover Windows 7 product key

  Dear Toshiba support,

  My Toshiba Satellite C660-1R1 bought in 2011. By the end of 2013, the original HARD drive died and I replaced it with an SSD. That said, I can't start the recovery with the original Windows 7 installation partition, or I can retrieve the product key from the registry. In addition, the sticker of the product key on the back of the laptop is almost unreadable. I read only a few letters.

  Is it possible for the support of Toshiba recover my Windows 7 Home product key based on the serial number and other details? I can send the whole of the back of my laptop with two stickers to the evidence.

  Thanks for any help.
  Marcin

  Hi marcinziel
  You are lucky to have a product key sticker (COA).
  Some people have had success with the digitization of the AOC and using software to improve the image.
  This year I bought a R50 Pro of the Satellite with Windows 7 pro and I can't find a sticker (COA) about it.
  Toshiba help you with your product key problem?
  I'm still waiting for a response from Toshiba.

• Satellite C660-268 does not start, no start screen

  My laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-268 was installing updates, then it froze for half an hour, I decided to force quit by pressing the power button.

  I tried power, portable could not wake up, I can hear the fan but screen is not black, no post/splash screen (Bios screen), turn on the led goes for a few seconds and then turn off. I tried to press the important function, but nothing could make my laptop boot or stay on. Please,

  I need your help in order to remake my boot laptop

  I think that some of the material died during update installation.
  From my point of few, it was simply bad luck that this error occurred during the update of the system.

  There is only one real solution: the troublemaker should be found and replaced.

  Theoretically, this issue can result from memory problems, but also the failure of the motherboard. The RAM modules are not very expensive and where the RAM is faulty, the fix is not a big problem.

  But in case of malfunction of the motherboard, the laptop repair could be a very costly affair.

  What could be the next step?
  I think if you have no experience of mainframe, you should seek some professional help and assistance.

• Re: Satellite C660 - new slow charge battery

  A few days ago, I bought a new battery (10.8V, 4400mAh) on Amazon (from Batterytec) for my Toshiba Satellite C660-13 q PA3817U-1BRS, 10.8V, 4200mAh.

  The problem is that this battery takes approximately 12 hours to charge: it is very very slow!

  I've done a complete charge cycle to calibrate and the battery life is 2 hours and 25 minutes, after calibration. With the original toshiba (fault) battery, I never had this problem.

  What can I do to solve the problem of the "slow charge"?
  What is a battery fault?
  such behavior is normal?

  Thanks in advance
  IMMA

  Have you bought original Toshiba with sticker Toshiba battery or it is another brand (universal battery)?

• Satellite C660 - 1 DR - impossible to install the audio and video driver

  HY!

  I just brought a Toshiba Satellite C660 - 1 DR today and I can not install audio driver, I get it on the site but when I unzip install is complete but still nothing is installed and I can't install the video card ATI Park XT 512 MB can't find the driver.

  Any help is great.

  Hey Buddy,

  What operating system you have installed on your C660? Have you installed the latest Service Pack before you begin with the installation of the driver?

  Generally, all the drivers for your laptop can be downloaded here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  If you have installed all the drivers, no yellow exclamation point shouldn't be in Device Manager. Did you check that?

• While the Satellite C660 just games close

  Hello

  Recently bought a Toshiba Satellite C660:

  i3, 3gig of Ram, Windows 7 64 bit.

  So, I use this for my small business and it works perfectly, I love it.

  However, last night, I played Football Manager 2011 and during the simulation, part graphic game relatively high, the laptop just closed, completely off, twice. In both cases, the fan was working overtime.

  Should I return it to the place where I bought it?

  > Should I return it to the place where I bought it?
  Why that?
  You can use your laptop for usual work?

  As much as I know C series is not very good for gaming and I can imagine this laptop was simply overloaded and the result is off without warning.

• 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 :)

• Re: Driver ATI Installationsur Satellite C660 1 - EF

  Greetings!

  I have a problem installing the ATI vga driver. I know that only drivers from the Toshiba site may be used, but they do not work yet. I have a Toshiba Satellite C660 laptop 1 - EF with ATI HD5470 and Windows 7 SP1 x 64 installed. I bought without OS, so I did not all discs.

  After I installed it (clean install) of the OS, I have seen that some devices had been installed with the drivers built into windows (or not yet installed). So I decided to download the proper drivers. The first problem is that I couldn't find the driver ATI for W7 x 64 on the Toshiba site for this type of laptop. I tried to find a similar notebook that has the same graphics card. At least I could find a driver. But when I tried to install it, it was closed. He did nothing, just closed.

  Since then, I've tried several drivers (most of them that I downloaded from the Toshiba site), but the result was the same.

  What should I do?

  Hello

  It's good for Win7 64 bit ATI display driver.
  Can install you it?
