Satellite C660 - impossible to activate WLan after replacing a Wlan card

because I need bluetooth that I swapped the Realtek RTL8188CE in my C660 for an Intel Centrion 1030.

Now I have bluetooth works fine, but I can't get wifi working: (, drivers installed well but I can't spend it switch using Fn F8, and the program of intel which accompanies said pilots "hardware Radio switch is off")

I tried swapping back to my old card wifi and then as magically wifi appears in Fn "Flash Cards", with no installed drivers for this card or anything, but when I use the card intel I have no wifi between "Flash Cards".

Is there a way I can force the wifi turn on?

the latest version of the bios, I found for the C660 is 1.8 and it's one that I installed.

The whole story is a bit confusing for me.
Has your laptop factory settings?
Since when you noticed this problem? I can't imagine you have from the day.
Have you installed latest WLAN driver of Toshiba page - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads?

New laptop comes with OS preinstalled and hardware properly configured so it must works.
I'm afraid you messed up something m.

  • Satellite C660 - impossible to activate WLan

    I bought mine in November last year and was NEVER able to use the wifi since.

    Tried this press FN and F8 or anything and it didn't work.

    I had to use a bloody ethernet cable since and I think that it ended up damaging the socket and leaving me without service.

    How, in simple terms, can I fix?
    Never had such difficulties with my older model Hewlett Packard 2005.

    Hello

    The simplest solution would be to drive HARD recovery.
    This would create the laptop to factory settings and normally everything should work correctly using operating system set by Toshiba.

    But you have problems with all FN keys?
    If Yes, select all programs-> Toshiba-> maps Flash Utility and restart the tool.
    If this does not work, reinstall the package of added value and utility of the Flash card.
    Of course don't forget to day/reinstall WLan driver first

  • Satellite P755 - 11G: Win 7 64 bit - cannot activate BT after replacement of the module

    Hello

    On my laptop Satellite P755, I had to replace the Wifi/Bluetooth PCI Express Mini card because the original Atheros was broken and was no longer working.

    So I decided to buy a new Intel® Wireless-Dualband-AC 7260 card to replace.
    Has successfully replaced by itself.
    WiFi now works again.

    Now, I'm dealing to get BT running. With the old Atheros card I could activate BT by pressing FN + F8 and choose Bluetooth from the menu of flashcard on top of the screen.

    After the replacement of the F8 full option in flash cards had disappeared.
    I managed to solve the problem for the WiFi by adding the ID of the new material of the card Intel (PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_08B1 & SUBSYS_40708086) in the registry in the following locations:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\ConfigFree--> InternalDevice176
    Hotkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\Wireless--> DevID_SupportRL175
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\WirelessAPL\BT WLANDP--> DevID_SupportRL176
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\WirelessDevice ID--> DevID_SupportRL176

    Now FN + F8 works very well for the WiFi, flash cards menu appeared again.
    But there is still no option to activate Bluetooth.

    Addition of the BT hardware in the registry (same locations as the WiFI) ID does not help.
    I can't get the point how the flash cards software manages to activate the bluetooth normally.

    Does anyone have an idea what it takes to get the Bluetooth in the menu flash cards?

    My system:
    Toshiba P755 - 11G
    Windows 7 64 bit

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    You said that the original WLan module was to Atheros.
    As far as I know the module Atheros WLan additional needs for the installation of the filter for the Atheros BT driver package in order to use and activate Bluetooth.

    In the case of modules WLan Intel such package of filter is not necessary.

    I guess the Atheros BT filter driver package is always installed on this laptop and I think this might be the reason why the BT can not be activated properly.

    However, I recommend you to uninstall the filter BT mentioned driver package as well as Toshiba BT stack, driver Atheros WLan and the Toshiba value added package, and the Flash Cards Support utility. Clean the system using the CCleaner tool.

    Then install the Intel driver that would control the new Intel WLan card.
    Install the Toshiba BT stack and restart the device. Now follow with the installation of the Toshiba added value package and the Flash Cards Support utility. Reboot once again and check if you can use FN + F8 to activate WiFi and BT

  • Satellite C660-1NX freezes while stop after a new install of Win 7

    Hello!

    The first sorry for my English, I'm Spanish and use a translator.

    I have a Satellite C660-1NX (PSC1LE-00F00NCE), I had to reformat the computer, put on a clean Windows 7 64 x (no recovery) with all the original drivers giving the official page of Toshiba.

    Everything seems perfect, but when turn off the computer is frozen, I thought it was x 64 and x 86 and install the same, straight day, then started the same problem, eh update of the BIOS, as used before formatting it didn't happen, it's very weird.

    I find that the reason for the problem never happened to any computer that.

    Best regards

    and what happen when you install the system using the recovery disk?
    The laptop is too cold?

    I doubt that someone will be able to say why the unit does not close properly.
    First of all, I think its necessary to find out if its hardware or software problem.

    In the case where its software related issue, the recovery disc that contains the image of configured Toshiba should fix this annoying problem.

  • Satellite C660-10 d - black screen after adding extra RAM!

    Hello world

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-10 d and have recently bought a 2GB additional RAM to upgrade my laptop to 4 GB in total. The RAM stick is identical to the 2 GB ram origin that settled in the laptop.

    I added the extra ram and when I turn on the laptop the screen remains black, however the laptop fans can be heard etc. When I remove the extra ram com starts up fine and shows the windows login screen. I also tried the two ram sticks on their own to slot 1 and both work well, its only when they are both in the connectors that I get the black screen.

    Any help asap would be fantastic.

    Concerning

    Griff

    > When I remove the extra ram the com starts up fine and shows the windows login screen.

    Its a problem with your extra RAM module.
    Is not fully compatible.
    Recommend you use two identical Kingston RAM modules, these modules are great, tested and provide good quality.

  • Is satellite C660 - 11 H - possible to change the wireless network card?

    Hi guys,.

    I'm looking to change the card Wifi on my C660 11 H since a Realtek 8188CE for a Realtek RTL8187B, for reasons that cannot be discussed on this forum. I was just wondering if the new card will be compatible, if I understand his also a Bluetooth card? I know that in the past, this is a case of grooving of the card and connecting the antennas.

    Finally, can anyone provide me the model number of the integrated Realtek WAN adapter? In system information, he simply says Wan Adapter PCI-E FE?

    Thanks for your help / Ryan

    Hey,.

    To be honest, it would be interesting to know why you want to change the WLAN card. You are not satisfied, or what are the reasons for this?

    In the forum, there are some discussions on the WLAN on Satellite C660 questions but this could be solved with latest Realtek driver and turning off energy saving as you can in large number of discussions:

  • Satellite A100 has an internal Wlan card?

    Hi, can someone tell me if the satellite A100 series with an internal wireless adapter - unable to find the instruction book!

    Hello

    There are many different A100 on the market.
    What A100 do you have exactly?

    Did you know that could find the WLan card in Device Manager? ;)
    Go to Device Manager and expand network adapters.
    If the wireless network adapter is available, you will see like Ethernet controller (if no driver has been installed) or a wireless network card (full name should appear)

    You can also install a hardware diagnostic tool

    I set up with it for long enough, its been really good to me.
    The problem that has really started to check me is the graphics card, Nvidia Go 7600, it slow, Nvidia do not support updated drivers (laim).

    A lot of my games have problems with this graphics card.
    I'm looking at open aperture of my little baby and I hope just place in a compatible graphics card.

    I'm looking to replace the Go 7600 with an alternative of ATI, a list of possible cards that will fit, where I can get my hands on one of these maps and prices if possible fuck. I won't pay too much money if it's not going to be worth.

    Thanks for reading, hope to get answers soon.

    Hello

    Replacing a graphics card on laptops is not possible because it is part of the motherboard. For example: by faulty graphics card, the entire motherboard must be exchanged.

  • Satellite L350 - impossible to activate the WLan

    Hi all

    When I turn on my laptop, more often in other wireless LAN is not lit.
    I had to reboot this morning 11 times to make it work.

    Also when it is turned on every now and again he will lose the connection, if I'm going to reconnect to my router, that it is not on my list.
    So after refresh of all wireless devices in the area to disappear out of the list and I have to restart the laptop all over again.

    Can anyone help please that it becomes very annoying.

    > When I turn on my laptop more often than in other wireless LAN does not illuminate.
    > I had to restart it 11 times this morning to work.

    The FN + F8 combination works properly?
    It turns on and the WiFi network.

    In addition, I think that there is something wrong with the Wlan driver.
    This means that you must remove the old driver from the system and need to install the new version you can download from here:

  • Impossible to activate WLAN in Satellite L500

    My home wireless network have abandoned for an hour this morning and when she came back on the wireless on my laptop was turned over. I understand that there is no any external switch for the wireless and the combination Fn + F8 does not work. (F8 is not even on the screen when I press F8 but all others do). My iphone and laptop spare are connected well, so I know that this is not a problem with my internet at home.

    The laptop is running Windows 7, that it came with. I did nothing to change the elements of parameters / installed.

    Is there another way I can turn on the wireless in a L500?

    Hey Buddy,

    Have you checked if your WLAN CAD is listed correctly in the Device Manager? In my opinion, you need to update the driver. The latest version, you can get here:

    If you have installed a 3rd party security/firewall software, make sure that it s not blocking not not the Internet connection.
