Satellite C660 - missing utility, BIOS not in default

Bought a Satellite C660-22v on ebay that seems to work fine, except that none of the Tosh utilities are present.

I was going to reload the operating system and downloaded the manual that say I have set the default BIOS. The former owner put the password on it and told me that it is. Is that what I want to know, can I do the restore of the system without resetting the BIOS, or how to get the utilities of Tosh?

To be honest I don t understand what do you mean with these missing utilities. Is this laptop comes with preinstalled original Win7 home premium. If you have the recovery disc reinstall OS and start using the laptop with the settings that includes all Toshiba tools and utilities. If you want to install some of them more you can download them from http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

In General, you can do the system restore without changing the BIOS settings, but now when you want to use the laptop the other person I think the best is to remove the BIOS password, BIOS value by default, reinstall OS and start using the laptop with the factory settings. Later, you can configure for laptop and change the settings.

  • Satellite C660-1CN - touchpad do not start with Windows

    Hello
    I have problem with Toshiba Satellite C660 - 1CN PSC0QE.

    Touchpad do not start with Windows 7 Home Premium.
    All the drivers are up to date.
    BIOS - lastest.

    After logon, I need to click on * double * "FN + F9" and after it is OK until the next reboot.

    I tried:
    several drivers of Synaptics - no change.
    Reinstall Windows - no change.
    Mini Windows XP Hiren - no work.
    Default BIOS - no change

    After that I installed 'toshiba value added package' I can't turn on the touch pad at all.

    To be honest, I never heard the show. According to specification for laptop, your laptop came with Win7 home premium 64-bit. With factory settings touchpad should be activated after the OS has started.
    I can read you have reinstalled Windows. Have you reinstalled with the original recovery image and tested with factory settings?

    His big problem to work

    Thank you and I hope you can help me...

    Hello

    The version of the BIOS should be mentioned in the BIOS settings.
    Turn on the device, press F2 and verify the version here.

    Also I recommend the settings of the BIOS back to default settings.
    In the BIOS settings, you will need to press F9 to get the default value. Then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
    Restart the machine and check how many processes are running in the context of the BONE.

    I recommend disabling of certain non-essential processes in msconfig.
    There, you can go to the Startup tab and could uncheck the unnecessary process.

  • Satellite C660 keyboard and mouse not working not

    I have a Satellite C660 who is about to leave the window.

    The list of problems are the following:

    Keyboard does not work
    Mouse pads and button do not work
    USB mouse and keyboard do not work (but light up with power)
    He likes also turn off randomly when the battery in but it's the least problems.

    any ideas as to why he did this and what can we do about it will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I m wondering about your statement about external USB mouse and keyboard.
    I thought that your problem has been linked to the defective module internal keyboard and touchpad, but now I m thinking that this may not be the case since the external USB keyboard does not work as well as the external USB mouse.

    Probably his most serious hardware malfunction: maybe something related to the motherboard? Who knows a hardware diagnostic test must be done to confirm this

    Just a question: are you able to access the BIOS? I mean the key F2 keyboard works in order to access the BIOS?

  • Re: Satellite C660 - after cooler BIOS update speed is increased and troubling

    Good evening
    Five hours ago, I did update the BIOS and restart the computer after that I noticed that the speed of the cooler is increased and worrying. Mention that they bought a Toshiba Satellite C660 last month.
    Please, if you can help me how to set the correct rotation!

    Thank you!

    PS: Sorry for my English I'm not from England!

    I think several people have posted about it here on this forum so it's a shame you don't l l check this forum before you took the decision to put the BIOS updated. If you have some time check other assignments in category C satellite.

    In any case, I can say, it's that you can try to reduce the speed of the cooling fan with cooling method option in the advanced power settings.

    This should reduce the speed of the cooling fan and your laptop will work a lot quieter. Put simply to option in battery mode.

  • Satellite C660/C660D - Webcam does not work

    I recently got the Toshiba satellite c660/c660D laptop for my 21st birthday in July. It is said there is a built-in webcam, but I can't see it or find it. Also when I try to use videoconferencing on Skype, he said that it is not important which web camera connected.

    I was wondering how I can get the web camera work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    What operating system do you use?
    When you open Device Manager check please if webcam is in the list. You can find it under imaging devices.

    Also check the BIOS settings. I'm not sure but maybe webcam is disabled it. Check it out.

  • Satellite C660 - function keys do not work correctly

    I have a strange problem with the help of function keys. When I turn on the laptop the functions work well. However, after 30 seconds of standing on the desk, they stop. The only buttons fuction that work after that are for the volume (up and down). The brightness, the mute button, they all stop working.

    I have no idea what is the reason for this and I'll be happy to have your help.

    MODEL NAME: Toshiba Satellite C660-1MU
    PART NO.: PSC1SE-00600283
    OS: Windows 8.1

    As far as I know, function keys are controlled by the driver of Toshiba system and key function Toshiba utility and they must be active in the background (to start).
    I checked the Toshiba download page, and as I can see, your laptop is not yet supported for Win8.1. What drivers you have installed?

    Anyway, you can try to reinstall them.

  • Impossible to install Win 7 on Satellite C660 - 26H - HARD drive not recognized

    I reinstall windows 7 on a Satellite C660 - 26H
    The hard drive failed on this laptop, so I added a new Toshiba 160 GB sata drive.

    When I try to install windows 7 I get the error message

    "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"

    I get this when I would normally be choose which windows installation disc too. I guess I need driver sata for the laptop?

    Where can I get the driver for this laptop sata?
    Or do I have driver sata for the new hard drive?

    Any help appreciated, thanks!

    Hello

    First check to see if the new HARD drive is listed and recognized in the BIOS. It must appear on the first page of the BIOS.

    If his list, and save the changes by pressing F10 and access to the BIOS.

    I'm not very well if you need the SATA drivers because AFAIK Win 7 should already contain a standard SATA driver from m.

    However, the SATA drivers are on Intel page.
    You should look for Intel Storage Manager.

  • Satellite C660 - Missing WiFi after the fresh install of Win 7

    Hey dear community,

    Ive had the following problem.

    I got Windows 8 on my laptop a few days then noticed that it's the biggest disappointment of the Millennium, and I did not have my original CD Windows 7 more so I downloaded the ISO of [here | http://www.chip.de/downloads/Windows-7-Home-Premium-64-Bit_46355794.html] and formatted with ISO.

    Then I realized that theres no card on the laptop more.

    Then all Lan and wireless Lan indicator found on the Toshiba page for my laptop has me only the connection to the local network.

    Conclusion: The LAN connection that I have now collapsed.
    A Wi - Fi connection is not displayed with the adapters in Device Manager.
    In Device Manager there is a network controller (if this is right), but the laptop can not find a driver in the driver update and it is not active.

    I hope you can help me, I'll be back without problems via WiFi to Internet.

    I installed new windows, and now my wireless does not work. I downloaded all the drivers LAN, WLAN etc. and WLAN will not work, I put the internet cable in the laptop, but not by cable or WIFI internet connection: S

    Please can someone help?

    Edit: in the Device Manager, NETWORK CONTROLLER is not installed, but I can't find that anywhere and I can't find any Wi - Fi network!

    Which Windows version have you installed on your laptop satellite?

  • Satellite C660-2EL off - would not turn back on this time

    I hope this is the right place to put this. I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-2EL and last night it shut down without warning, nothing. He would not go back at all, he just kind of this noise as if it were die a death slow and had the green light etc., but then off back again once, I noticed that my battery had come to lose (which sometimes happens) so I put back and tried again, nothing.

    I also tried with my charger and everything in place, again this time that there is an orange light flashing, no green light and a-type noise that squeaks really horrible. Come on now, this morning, I decided to try it all again and it works? * Anyone know what this could be? *

    I have insurance and I think just take it to them because of this and see what they think, as it's the second time it happened, although the first time, he never turned back, and Toshiba, it had some water damage and was so my fault and I had to send it to the normal setting so it can be fixed.

    Thank you all!

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to discuss these issues. Generally better you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider, ask for help and try to clarify this with the technicians.

    If you have a valid insurance try to ask for help and get free fixed.

    Sorry, but what else to say about it.

  • Satellite C660-108 - Wireless does not work

    Hey everybody,

    New to the forum, I had to sign up because of a problem with shame. I would like to apologize in advance because I know nothing about how computers work.

    I have a toshiba satellite c660-108, windows 7 OS. Yesterday I was updating it and I used it very well after that I restarted. He stops and went to bed. Today, I turned on and he did a system restore, don't know why. So all went through and then it wouldn't connect to the internet wireless, only ethernet cable (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=69127&tstart=0 - same problem as far as I can tell).

    I'm in the middle of my diploma thesis and word does not work now, so I did a full factory restore hoping everything would be ok. This isn't.

    Ive tried to download the driver toshiba wireless, just didn't work. It currently downloads Realtek but I'm sure it won't work either.

    How to get another wireless network card?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    The essential is that you it works again.
    So congratulations. :)
