Satellite C660 shuts down after 3 seconds

Received my new laptop yesterday and during the installation of windows 7 (not exactly sure to what extent the installation process has been) the screen turned a clear gray color and has started flashing, I tried to turn it off by pressing power button for 7 seconds, but he wouldn't answer, I had to unplug the charger and remove the battery to the laptop.

Now, when I press the power button, the indicator light turn on, the cpu fan turns on and after 3 seconds it stops. I tried to put on about 100 times now, same result. Remove the RAM and HD makes no difference.

Pending support Toshiba to communicate with me, so I thought I'd try here and see if there was an easy solution.

Hello

I guess that the Toshiba start screen does not appear at the beginning and you are not able to access the BIOS too. Right?
Looks like you had a bad luck from my point of view its something wrong with the motherboard.
But don t worry should guarantee all so either you could visit your retailer for laptop and ask for replacement (if possible) or you could get in touch with a Toshiba ASP in your country that could solve this problem.

Good luck

  • Printer Hp 6520 automatically shuts down after a few hours

    Original title - printer hp 6520 problem

    My new photosmart 6520 automatically shuts down after a few hours, it disconnects from my Win7 machine without using the material removal tool, if I get a nice loud bang when it does.  It is connected through the usb port on my Pavilion.  I don't mind to go to sleep, but I don't want to disconnect completely, because when I send a new print job, he didn't wake up automatically and print, I don't have to feed it manually upwards then it prints very well.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    I could join HP support on this issue this morning.  There were two things - first HP printers now have a built-in surge protector so you should not connect it to an another surge protector.  Second, the default printer is delivered with activated automatic stop, turning off will do sleep, but not to turn it off, so that it accepts print jobs whenever one is sent.  So, if that helps anyone, good!  And thanks also for your help.  :^) gene

  • iMac won't restart or shut down after having been 10.11.5

    He said title. My iMac was fine before the update came through yesterday. I went to reboot tonight because the RAM used was realllllly high and I thought a solid reboot after update from yesterday could be a good thing (don't ask why - just my logic)... and surprise! -He has authorized the menu bar and leave viewfinder, but would not closed at all. I could always use the dock to load and use applications. I saw another thread that mentions deleting stuff from Wacom. I went and emptied all of my items found from Wacom. Still will not be closed. I have reset several times VRAM. I can do a forced shutdown, and he'll sleep ok. Activity monitor shows nothing super weird, even if it always shows Wacom and Tablet drivers running.

    Anyone else running into this? Or have an idea?

    Please?

    Hello..

    Safe Mode boot removes the system caches that can help after an OS X day or level.

    Upper left corner of your screen, click on the Apple  > Shut Down.

    After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key. You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    Once you are in Mode without failure, return to the menu Apple . In the drop-down list, click: reboot

  • Satellite L40 breaks down after 5-10 minutes and will not return

    I hope someone can help

    I have a toshiba Satellite L40. It has not been used for a while, but I need to have stuff on it.
    Put it on yesterday and then crashed after 10 minutes and would not go back
    .the same thing happened today.

    I took out the battery and tried just to power / and vice versa, but no joy.
    I'm not very technical was so had no idea what to try next.

    Hello

    If I understand your question, the unit stopped automatically.
    Such judgment may be related to high temperatures inside the laptop.

    L40 series is a bit old and probably the cooling vents and grilles are obstructed by dust.
    Try to remove the dust using a jet of compressed air. Generally, this lets get removed dust and it helps to keep the temperature low.

    Of course, this procedure would only if the problem is related to high temperatures.
    In the case of the laptop shuts down for other reasons, this workaround would be useless

    You said you need to get something from him in this case you could remove the internal HARD disk and could connect to another laptop computer through SATA to USB controller.

  • Satellite A30 shuts down / blocks

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A30 for about 2 years with no problems. Until today...

    I was chatting on MSN Messenger, but had to put my missing status and left the computer for about an hour.

    When I came back to it, the screen was all what it was when I left, but there was no control of the mouse, no whirring HARD drive away, not nothing. In fact, it seemed that he had closed the partitally without turning off the screen.

    The only way I could reboot had to turn off the power. I disconnected the battery, reconnected everything and tried to reload. I don't even have as much as Logo of Toshiba screen, click on the HARD drive, * which is normal for this machine * and off.

    I thought that maybe it was an overheating issue, then I left for half an hour and go home. This time it restarts, but the display was all out of sync. was on 800 x 600 when its usually on the following resolution. (Don't remember who he is). I ran dxdiag and he told me that there is no present display driver, as I had reloaded using the last well known record. It was not a problem, I reinstalled drivers, restarted without any problem.

    Everything was fine for 2 h with the laptop, so at this point, I don't think it was a heat issue. I went through the net, when hung just computer still once, I lost all control of the mouse, even if the optical lights on it were always activate when moved, and he seemed to stop again.

    Well, I left for 10 minutes, he came back and tried again, it started ok, but as soon as I tried to access anything, he hung up again, forcing me to press the power button to shut down.

    Sorry for the lengthy post, but can anyone shed light on this point, I use my laptop on a daily basis, and there are things about it, as I need to access.

    I hope someone can help

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is very interesting because it can happen to anyone. I really put t know which can block the laptop. On this way, we can only speculate and it is really not easy to say why this happens to concrete.

    I put t know how is your unit configured and that these (process) applications run in the background, but you can try to stop all the unnecessary stuff and see what is happening in this case. Check the Device Manager and make sure that everything is properly recognized. After that create a system restore point and in this way you can restore the system to an earlier time if something goes wrong.

    If you do not find what happens I recommend you back up the data and do the recovery procedure. On this way the unit will be own pre-installed and things like this can happen. As you know sometimes happen oddities and there is no logical explanation.

    Good luck!

  • Stuck on the screen saying 'Shutting Down' after trying to install SP2 on Vista

    So I got problems with my Windows Vista. The day passed or it would freeze completely, all programs not responding. I looked around, and he said that a possible solution would be to install SP2. So I did. As he installed the first of 3 updates, it got stuck at 44% for an hour. Then, she moved to say Shutting Down, which was during the last two hours.

    I don't know what to do now. During the installation, he said do not put off your computer, and while it is said that is no longer, I'm still hesitant to do. Any ideas on what I should do? In addition, would set the gel I described previously by SP2? Or do you know of anything that could be causing it?

    Thank you

  • 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.

    Hello

    Try to optimize the OS version. Check the startup options and disable all applications that you don't need.
    Make sure that all unnecessary applications do not start with the OS. Remove the system from all things, that you don't need.
    Play a little with it.
