Satellite C660D-153 - HD Fried - Options for replacement

I had a series of C for a little more than a year and a half now and have recently experienced freezing, blue screen and crashing issues. After a reboot, my computer would not recognize my HD for about 30 minutes and then will work very well. Now, it broke down again, windows starts not at all and I can't find a work around.

It will not start and more safe, or allow me to "repair my computer" using the advanced boot. I tried booting from a disc of windows 7, but which results, like the others, with a black screen and a cursor and absolutely nothing else, not the guests of menu or anything like that.

First of all can anyone think of a way to solve this problem, and second, if I need to get a new HD that probably research, how can I get it ready to use and begin to rebuild the rest of my life? (I have a Windows 7 Professional disc already)

Before you begin to discuss your question just a point: is guaranteed still valid and may be possible to get the new HARD drive in the case of the warranty?

  • Re: Satellite S70T-A-016 - no option for wireless connection

    Greetings,

    Just picked up one new Satellite S70T-A-016. Everything worked very well last night and I had a wireless connectivity, but now, I have no option for a wireless connection. I pressed the button F 12, and the only message I get is ' airplane Mode on / off. I don't know if I pushed inadvertently something I shouldn't or not. Have connected by cable to Toshiba and updated the atheron wireless LAN and realtek drivers but still nothing. Troubleshooting only tells me to plug an Ethernet cable.

    Starting at this, so any help step by step would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Usually, if you turn off the airplane mode WIFI should work.
    Check please follow option: move the mouse to the lower right corner and when you see options on the right, click settings. You will see the option for the WLAN. Click it and you will see the options networks. Make sure that airplane mode is DISABLED and Wi - Fi mode.

    You don't need to reinstall drivers. Laptop is preinstalled with all the necessary things and the reason for not working WLAN are bad options I think.

    Please check it out and provide feedback.

  • Satellite C660D-13 q - need drivers for Windows XP

    Hello

    A Toshiba Satellite C660D-13 q (PSC1YE).

    In the BIOS I changed the controller SATA from AHCI to Compatibility Mode to allow the installation of Windows XP. In AHCI mode during the installation, I am getting blue screen all the time.
    (Besides - is it possible to install Win XP on SATA control Mode switched on AHCI?)

    I installed Windows XP SP3 and I need drivers, especially for Bluetooth - I tried BT-stack - toshiba.zip of the file (after unpacking: v80012T_20110809_x32.exe size: 38 786 027 bites) of Toshiba server but it does not work.

    I can find drivers for Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit) - why Toshiba does not support Windows XP - some applications and games still does not work on Windows 7, and I guess that never will.

    Is there a necessary chipset/APU driver for this laptop because it is based on the new processor of merger, which combine the CPU and the GPU to a single processor architecture called an APU (AMD E-240 of CPU and GPU AMD HD 6310)?

    > I can find drivers for Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit) - why Toshiba does not support Windows XP
    Good question, but I m you know very well why.
    Offer Windows 7 Microsoft has set new standards for integrated hardware and, in general, your laptop is designed for Win7.

    Win XP is history and if you check other manufacturers of portable none of them offer full support driver for Windows XP Home edition. I highly recommend to forget WXP and use original Win7 preinstalled.
    Support for the old operating system is obviously not profitable and costs a lot of money so I put t think any laptop manufacturer will spend money for it.

  • Satellite P500-153 - need remote control for Windows Media Center

    I have a satellite P500-153, but without a remote mainenance (for housing expresscard).
    The suplier said I can buy it at the internetstore of toshiba, but I can't find a few anywhere!

    Maybe someone knows where I can get it or can give me the produktkey / the name of the remote maintenance.

    Hello

    As much as I know a few P500D Satellite P500 and X 500 series have been equipped with a remote control of size or a size slim (for express card slot) remote
    But as I said that some and not all units contains this remote.

    I think you should get in touch with a local ASP in your country.
    The authorized service provider could provide a compatible remote control.
    If this part is not in stock then the guys could order directly from Toshiba.

  • Satellite C660D-153 - replacement of the GPU

    I think I need to replace the video card on my laptop but thought I would check with you if there are other solutions. A few days ago, I was working on a document when an internal click under the keyboard led to a split screen and test color lines appearing on the monitor. Only led restart it happen again after the start-up phase.

    The screen now shows what looks like a staircase in the middle of the screen with imagesrushing tear down one side and static vertical coloured lines on the other.

    Any ideas, suggestions welcome.

    Replacement of the GPU is not possible.
    If the GPU is dead, the motherboard with the GPU must be replaced.

  • Startup disk has failed - what are the options for replacement

    I have a Dimension 8400 BIOS A05 running (if I can remember you corrrectly). The SATA C drive supplied with the system crashed recently and will no longer start up. I tried various diags, but they all fail. I also had a USB drive adapter to try to access the drive from another computer... the disc turns, but I do not see the drive.

    I want to know what constraints and options are there in the choice of a replacement drive? (I wonder if I am limited on ability. The original drive is a WD740GD-75FLA1 (74 GB). Could I replace it with a SATA capacity more (I don't mind if the replacement is a WD drive again or not.)

    And, keeping in mind the BIOS, I must update that when I replace the HARD drive?

    In addition, this good old machine still runs XP SP3 and I plan to switch to Win 7 at the time of the installation of the new disc. Points to consider regarding the choice of the player?

    BTW - some time after the purchase of this PCI added a second drive hard - one 250 GB SATA drive. Do I need considered as in the choice of the total capacity of the disk online, I will be once the new drive arrives? Oh, and although I don't speak of this second disc - it works fine with the USB adapter so my problem looks like most likely to be a disk problem rather than say, a question of power cable or block.

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Andy

    Any standard desktop SATA drive under 2 t fine - having said that, what you have now is a WD Raptor 10 K RPM drive.   They are now called Velociraptor - if you are looking for this level of performance of the player, they are the only SATA 10 K rpm disks designed to use desktop.

  • Options for replacement/upgrade my HP Mini 210-4022TU computer?

    Given that my camera fell on the ground, no longer stock HDD start. My warranty has already expired, and I'm looking to replace, even better, upgrade my HARD drive and maybe the RAM too. Can anyone recommend a compatible device to the RAM and HARD drive? Thanks in advance!

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    It has a memory location and the maximum memory is 2 GB of DDR3 - 1066 on your Atom N2800 CPU. The specifications indicate that you already have the maximum size and the speed of the memory.

    It uses a standard 2.5 inches wide and 9.5 mm thick computer laptop SATA hard drive. Your was equipped with a 500 GB 5400 RPM hard drive. Because you cannot upgrade the processor or memory, the only upgrade, you can do is to install a faster hard drive or an SSD. Frankly, I wouldn't spend the money on an SSD for a netbook. They are about 85-1, 00 per concert, so a concert 128 SSD (smaller than what you have) will cost at least $90 to 100 and a 500 gig is about $ 400. It would be something like my dad used to call "earrings on a pig." However, I would spend the money for a 7200 rpm or a hybrid disc. You will experience a significant improvement in speed of startup and loading programs sorely need for a netbook.

    Here's a good one:

  • Satellite C660D-153 of reconstruction after failure or bad HD Windows 7 is installed

    Having bought a new hard drive, installing Windows 7 Professional and all Toshiba drivers, relevant (which it turns out that you don't need a recovery disk for - fantastic) I went and sewed to the top myself because I have the product key is for home edition Premium, non-professional.

    If I can take another disc of Windows 7 Home Premium, as I did not, between the two types of switching will be relatively simple? Anything else I should know?

    I think that you need to do a clean install.
    After that, you need to apply all the drivers and utilities.

    But the fact is that the MS Windows 7 installation disc contains all versions of Win 7 different (etc. Ultimate, Home Premium) and the version you install depends on the product key. The only difference is that if it's 32-bit or 64-bit.

    So if you were able to install Windows 7 Professional, you should also be able to install the Win 7 Home Premium using the same disk

  • Satellite C660D - Boot problems

    I had my Tosh for over a year now, so out of warranty, but should still work. Sometimes at the present time, the comp will freeze completely, which ensures a restart, but on re-booting, I get the familiar if please insert disc to start or select drive, the pxe rom error, check for errors of cables (something like that I don't remember the exact wording).

    After I left the computer off for the night, these problems seem to set and the computer starts normally. I first thought it would be a mistake to HD but which seems to work very well when it starts properly.

    Any suggestions as to what could be causing this?

    EDIT - this is a Satellite C660D-153 - 4 GB memory & hard drive 640 GB

    > I get the familiar please insert disc to start or select drive, the pxe rom error, check cables errors

    The PXE error message appears because the laptop is trying to boot from LAN.
    Why the laptop switches to LAN automatically?

    In most cases, the laptop can not find the bootable HARD disk system and this means that the HARD drive is malfunctioning it would also be an explanation for the issue of the gel

  • Satellite A110-153: RAM upgrade Question

    Hello

    I am the proud owner of a Toshiba Satellite A110-153 I've had for a few years.
    I am interested in the upgrade of RAM but stumbled upon this controversy.

    1 internal memory expansion module sizes are 256, 512, 1024 MB.
    2. maximum speed of the internal memory is 4 GB
    3. 2 memory slots.

    Now, I would like to upgrade my laptop to the maximum 4 GB of RAM, but how can I do that when I'm not allowed to use 2 x 2 GB modules?

    Is it humanly possible to upgrade my laptop to 4 GB?

    Thanks for the time.

    William.

    Hello

    If you want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB max you can use modules of 2 x 2 GB RAM!

    The laptop must manage the DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules

    But note; the 4 GB of RAM can be used by the 64 bit OS!
    Win XP or Vista 32 bit would recognize as 3.2 GB!

  • Please recommend an SSD for Toshiba Satellite C660D-10W

    Hi people

    I'm looking for a recommendation for an SSD for my laptop, Satellite C660D-10W

    I want to perform a clean build - I have a new licensed copy of Windows 10 Pro.

    I bought a disc of Kingston after some research online, but subsequently discovered Kingston declaring that they do not support the use of this device in my laptop.

    Toshiba customer support put me on "Topaz", which recommended product + service (though not an SSD!) cost more than 250 pounds. For that price I can get a replacement of like-for-like of the laptop under warranty!

    I'm looking for a simple option where I can buy a SSD and do the installation myself. 250 GB to 500 GB for the region of £60ish.

    Thoughts?
