• 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.

• Increase the video RAM on a Satellite C660-1N6

  I tried to run a software for video editing (Cyberlink PowerDirector 8) on my Satellite C660-1N6, but it does not start.

  I was informed that 64 MB of ram of the laptop is not enough. My old laptop had a shared ram of with256Mb card SIS Mirage 3 and the program worked fine.
  I told myself I must increase the video ram 256 MB, but I don't know how this will affect the operation of the excellent laptop.

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

  Hello

  I found some info that your laptop has graphics UMA (Unified Memory Architecture). This means that the GPU uses system RAM instead of having there own dedicated RAM. They are fine for the use of the web, watching movies and so forth, but don't not to play or using video graphics performance of publishing applications.

  As I know there is no way to manually set. Everything works automatically and depends on the RAM used in Notepad.

• Constant faults with satellite C660

  At the present time, I am more than just a little ticked off so I will try my best not to go off on a mug shot.

  Then I decided I would buy a laptop from Argos, I chose the Satellite C660 which cost me £300, and the first was faulty within weeks, it wouldn't read the Wifi card and I could not even anywhere near update even if that was the problem. So I had a second, worked well for 2-3 months, and then at the end of July it suddenly wrong.

  The error was with the hard disk, the hard disk had some how becomes corrupt, but firstly I decided I would buy recovery disks that cost £30 and took almost a week to arrive.

  Ultimately the recovery disks did not solve my problem so I rang the customer Service and they told me I could either send for repair, get a new hard drive sent me or send it to argos and get a replacement.

  Not even a month on the line and the SAME problems arose. Now I'm not sure that my anti virus was silly and allowed a virus to sneak into systems and corrupt once again, the concert stick which has been a cause of the second break was NOT used after to be sure.

  The anti-virus was Virgin Media Security Center, and even if some errors which is is past that have not been to painful difficulty it has worked well.

  But today, I uninstalled a program called Ventrilo so that I could reinstall it due to the fact that suddenly, she works correctly (suspect last night could be the beginning of my laptop once again to go to hell) last night, I used a Web site to see how I could completely remove ventrillo, and I followed the steps.

  As soon as I deleted the file ventrilo BAM the laptop went crazy! I rebooted, it don't think it would take just a reboot... once it is loaded, no background would show, a lot of error messages and I aircraft to the system restore 3 times. So I decided I want to reformat my laptop.

  That's where it went worse again, as soon as I entered the recovery disks the wrong hard drive shot, he began to reformat error only 5 seconds later saying no recovery of files found.

  Seriously toshiba, how much more portable that I am will have to be repaired or replaced before finally getting one that works 100%, why should not only claim a first thing in the morning, because ive got the reception has not been able to buy 3 years extra warranty (fortunately I still have 1 year of warranty) so I could do it now. im sick and tired of having a new piece of computer toshiba laptop for a short time then suddenly go faulty, especially when before you download anything, I make sure that I have downloaded to ensure responsible for anti-virus as his protégé.

  My moms laptop is HP and is 4 years old and STILL works very well, Yes, of course it heat up too much otherwise is based on a good surface, but still, how does a cell phone 4 years compared to a who apparently 3 months old laptop can work BETTER, is not what he supposed to be the other way around?

  EDIT: I just went through the forums, it seems that this brand has SO much go wrong with it in the first 3 pages only.

  Hello Steelworkers

  Sorry to hear (read) all that but what about?
  It's really funny in our life. With some things, we are more than satisfied and happy, but sometimes we just out of luck.

  Toshiba sells millions of laptops and probably thousands of Satellite C660 and there is always the risk that some of them are troublemakers. It is with other electronic products, cars, different machines and so on.

  I know you won t hear it but your only chance is to stay in contact with Toshiba service provider and if all goes well they will help you with all these issues.

  I must also say that over the last decade I have use Toshiba notebooks only. I had a few small problems too but it was always repaired quite quickly and I was able to continue my work.
  When you analyze markets for laptop, you will notice that the products are quite similar. You can't tell A manufacturer has much better quality than the manufacturer B. The level of prices is the same and the quality as well. What makes the difference is the hardware configuration and design, but all the rest is quite similar.

  One last thing: I agree with you on the old notebooks. I'm also sure that older models were much better, but what I can say for Toshiba tool Mr. I really missed some old models like Satellite 5200 or Satellite P20 of Mr. I had two of them, and I can say that they were ahead of the development and design.

  Bye and good luck.

• Just bought Satellite C660 and need some information please

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C660 1 t 1 and have some important questions, I would like to meet you please. I have looked for answers, but could find nothing specific.

  The first question I have is that when I turned on my new laptop and installed Windows 7, I noticed he had partitioned my hard drive to 500 GB in two for a 232 GB C: Windows and a 232 GB data D:
  I was wondering if there was a setting that I had missed during my first installation of Windows 7 where I could change the size of the partition? As on a previous Samsung Netbook, I could choose how much space I wanted to a backup disk, but does not remember seeing a similar option on the Toshiba startup options? If someone could confirm it please that you can't change the size of the partition to installation of commissioning, it would be a relief, because I am worried, it was my fault the score is so great.

  The second I have is that when the driver updates are released to update my driver graphics and any other material, which is the best piece of software Toshiba I should use to find and update the material? As there seems to be a lot of them pre-installed and they seem to all updated software?

  The third question is: are there specific pieces of software toshiba which should start up when I start my PC? As I will try to stop programs unimportant all begin when starting my new laptop until reduced startup time.

  Finally (sorry for so many questions) someone could explain to me why its so important to create a "recovery disc" and why it seems that I must do this as soon as possible? I'm really not at all, or the importance to create one as soon as you get your new laptop.

  Thank you very much for all the help that I tried to find answers to these questions and noticed that everyone on these forums seems to be very competent and friendly :)

  Aaron Hello and welcome to Toshiba support forum

  At first, I must say that you are doing very good. It is best to ask first before you start to experiment and screw something up. A lot of people changing all implement and later wonder why some software stuff don t work anymore.

  I have a little experience with Toshiba and will try to help you. So let's go.
  > I was wondering if there was a setting that I had missed during my first installation of Windows 7 where I could change the size of the partition?
  When you start a laptop for the first time be preinstalled recovery image will install and you will have a laptop with factory settings. This HARD drive partitions are standard. After the first start the most important is to create recovery DVDs. After having done that, you can do with your computer laptop all you want. You can delete the partitions. Change the ability scores, install OS clean, but you will be able to install the original Toshiba recovery image using this disc. It is very important.

  Of course, you can install os using HDD Recovery mode - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
  In general, you can change the structure of the partitions but it may happen that there will be problems to start HARD drive recovery after doing this, but if you create recovery DVDs there is no problem for you.

  > The second I have, is that when the driver updates...
  In General, you should not install updates, especially not for Toshiba tools and utilities. My advice to you is: don change well equipped with operating system. What can you possibly update is display driver, but please use driver Toshiba only.

  > are there specific pieces of software Toshiba which should start up when I start my PC?
  Much preinstalled stuff slow startup and notebooks in general performance. So that you can disable some startup applications (MSCONFIG > startup) or even to remove them from the system. For example, you can remove Tempro, information tool product Toshiba, remove an application preinstalled antivirus and install something better like Avira Antivir. At startup, you can turn off the zooming utility, application, Adobe Reader, Google update, check laptop Toshiba webcam and so on. I turn off even more things and leave just more important tools.

  > could someone explain to me why its so important to create a "recovery disc" and why it seems that I must do this as soon as possible?
  I hope that I have answered this already, but here is the content of the Toshiba Recovery callback:

  * Important INFORMATION *.

  * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair your computer in the restaurant to the original factory condition, you can do it directly on the hard disk (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

  * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original state that is installed at the factory, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• 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.

• Satellite C660 - 115 Win7 update stuck in the loop. SOLVED!

  I have a Satellite C660-115 which is stuck in a loop "of despair".
  I am a COMPUTER engineer support and a customer brought this laptop of mine, who was stuck in a loop of repair Win7 (64-bit prem) that simply says Win7 could not be repaired.

  I backed up the profiles of subscribers using Hiren boot CD (done chkdsk as well - everything is OK), and then did a factory restore.
  No problem at all with the restoration.

  Started doing the updates for Win7; SP1 seems to install OK without errors.
  The system then picked up 37 Win7 updates automatically and asked to reset.
  Upon reboot, Win7 entered "drvload.exe" and started an auto repair.
  It took time and the system started OK, but without any sign of SP1, looks so much like system restore to an earlier point?

  I though this update to process 3 times now and each time after that a lot of auto update, the same sequence occurs.

  How to exit this loop? What is causing this problem, which I have never seen before?

  No software has been installed, other than that of the recovery process.
  I even uninstalled McAfee, just in case this could be a problem - no change.

  Ah, just took another look. It is stated in Win7 system registers that the restoration was caused by a corrupted file C:\ci.dll. Google to find it was a sign by a rootkit virus in the HARD Master Boot Record disk (the file ci.dll itself is NOT damaged). Found a fix tool

  http://support.Kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?QID=208280684

  It identified the rootkit and removed.
  Seems to be OK now!

  Hope this post could help others.
  Of course, the factory restore does not erase the HDD MBR rootkit...

  Thanks for sharing!

• Satellite C660 - TouchPad freeze at startup

  Hi I'm new and this is my first post so please be gentle!

  I have a Satellite C660 with windows 7 purchased as a refurb factory it is my 1st laptop, I have a problem after startup, and everything loaded on my desktop, it seems that if I use my TouchPad too early it freezes, he did it since I bought it, but I thought it was me being not used to a touchpad and the "bloatware" to start is the only way I can get the pointer to move if I have a finger from the top to the bottom of line scrolling to the right of the TouchPad horizontally or diagonally, it moves very slowly until I can be open and close a browser window, the file or even the startup window, then it will then act as usual and do not freeze again for my entire session If I leave it for five minutes at the start, it works fine, sometimes it will freeze also out of standby or hibernation, but not always.

  OK, I thought maybe it was the necessary driver update I checked in Device Manager and it said it was working properly but that of course is when the pointer is as it should be, in the Device Manager if I pilot of the touchpad/driver/update and internet search it tells me I have the drivers updated If I choose to search for a driver on my computer/let pick me from a list of device drivers that I have the following:-

  Mouse Compatible PS/2
  Synaptics PS/2 Port Compatible TouchPad
  Synaptics PS/2 Port Compatible TouchPad
  Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad

  I should have all those showing? can someone with a file of similar specifications check that for me please?

  strange thing is that if I go to TouchPad properties via the taskbar, and then click driver all options except the driver Details are grayed out and done, I can open two windows of TouchPad properties from the device and the task bar manager and have them on the screen at the same time.

  Some things I should mention are a mouse in the usb works fine, I stopped a lot of the "bloatware" and would help the useless stuff running at startup, hoping that I have disabled the function of locking of the click on the TouchPad, sound as it needs to be "warmed up" to run correctly when running properly it works fine without problem as the laptop came pre installed and only Disc I have is the recovery one create you the initial Setup!
  Any help would be appreciated!

  Hello

  First of all, I don t think that this problem is related to the installed touchpad driver but if you wish, you can install the latest touchpad driver available from the European driver Toshiba.

  Visit the European driver Toshiba page and choose:
  Computer laptop Satellite Satellite C series Satellite C660 driver Touchpad

  Now you should get all the touchpad driver available for C660 series.
  I found the driver for the touchpad Synaptics for Win7 32 bit and 64 bit.
  The latest version seems to be v15.2.11.1

  I think you should go to Panel of-> Software
  Check here if Synaptics touchpad driver appear in the list of installed software.
  If so, uninstall the present.
  Then, download and install the Synaptics v15.2.11.1 driver

  The touchpad settings could be changed in Control Panel-> mouse-> tab advanced-> button Advanced.

  Hello

  I don t think its a display problem, but you can connect an external monitor to the computer laptop just to be sure that this isn't an internal display delivers 100%.

  But from my point of view a part on the motherboard (CPU/GPU) or your motherboard is faulty.

• Satellite C660 - several keyboard LAG

  Hello

  I was the owner of a Toshiba Satellite C660 for about five days, and I already feel lag serious keyboard. As users of the model L270 and other posters on this forum, the keyboard has slowed down considerably and letters are being omitted, slow down the process of typing.

  I tried to update my BIOS, many posters have suggested, but my BIOS is bang up to date.

  I have not tried to remove the battery or something like that. Frankly if I do get my keyboard is working properly the computer goes to the rear and I'm demanding a refund.

  Any ideas?

  Hey,.

  I've never seen users L270 here... As much as I know there is not a model for laptop

  In any case, that s really strange and I have never heard of this problem on the Satellite C660. I think all you can do is updated the BIOS and using the pre-installed Windows version. If you still notice the same behavior, ask the seller for a replacement model.

  I agree with the new: this t shouldn't happen on a portable five-day old.

• 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 C660-1J1 does not illuminate

  Hi guys!

  First sory about my English, I'm from Croatia

  I have the Satellite c660-1j1 for about 2 years now and never had any problem until 2 days ago, when he stops in the middle of work after which he used to shoot more. I tried to remove the battery and the ac power button and hold it down for 30 seconds, remove hard drive, ram etc. and did not help. I noticed that when I press start button / right stop green light flashes once and that's it... nothing another hapend... also, I noticed that it happens only when the battery is plugged... If I remove the battery and leave one plugged ac nothing happens... laptop completely died... also I tried plugging another adapter that I know it's working, and same thing.

  So I think something is wrong with motherboard or dc in the Jack cable and power supply.

  I would like to fix this myself if I need your opinion what could be a problem, so I can buy a right-hand side.

  I hope if someone knows this problem or knows what that means green flashing of led.

  Thanks in advance

  When you connect power AC is DC led on?

  > I would like to fix this myself if I need your opinion what could be a problem, so I can buy a right-hand side.
  I can't say for sure but I'm afraid there is an electronic power problem and I don't think that you can remedy only Mr. it is part of the motherboard. In the end you can't find parts for laptop easier with regard to jobs.

  In the past a guy from Croatia reported on the good service of Toshiba in Zagreb. www.mojservis.HR maybe you should communicate with the guys who work there and ask for help or advice.
