• Satellite Pro C660 does not start, no screen

  Hi guys I was wonder if anyone could help please.

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro C660 - 2 DR who seems to be defective (just out of warranty).
  Everything worked fine until we came to a morning market and found that the screen remains off (black screen). There are no output through the VGA as I tested it on an external monitor.

  The CPU fan turns for a few seconds and then turns off.
  There is no noise from the hard drive read/write either. The power light stays on. I removed the hard drive to access data on another system that worked Fortunately

  . I also removed the RAM, battery and optical drive, but there is still no output to the screen.

  Is it sounds like a faulty motherboard?
  The laptop seems to be in excellent condition.

  Is there something else I can try please? I would be very grateful for any advice.

  Rich

  Yes, it looks like the faulty motherboard or a part of the motherboard as RAM or CPU.
  You said that you have already removed the RAM, but have you used a good RAM module tested?

  Theoretically, it could be just a problem of RAM but in the worst case, you will need to replace the motherboard and I think it would be really expensive repair.

• Satellite Pro U400-13 a - starting problems

  I have a Satellite Pro U400 13A running Windows XP Pro and have startup problems.

  The computer was working well until that last Wednesday when I modified the settings of advanced management power in how he reacted to the closing of the lid [hibernate] or pressing the power [on hold] button. Then, I closed the lid that I had to leave in a hurry.

  About 2 hours later, I opened the lid to take what I was doing and to a complete stop, but I got a partial summary leading to a bluescreen with the logo "XP" just to the right of Center and no home screen or directly in the Windows desktop as expected. Then, the computer does nothing.

  Pressing ALT + DEL shows that both operations are underway - "Windows logon" and "Connection", but the selection does nothing.
  I left the computer up to 6 hours, in the hope that it was a lengthy process that prevented it go further but still the same blue screen rest.

  I forced a shutdown by pressing the power and then restarted in the start menu [Safe Mode etc.].
  According to the boot option I then select [I tried all the] bothers me on the same position that I started with - blue screen with "XP" logo.

  I don't have a recovery disk, nor do the recovery option of disk in the advanced boot menu. I am at a loss.
  I sent the problem to technical support Toshiba but no response.

  What are my options?

  Thank you

  Seems you have to reinstall new OS.
  If you don t have disks or functional HARD drive recovery option, then I would recommend ordering the disc from here:

  Then you can reinstall the OS in order to get the workbook

• Satellite Pro C660-2JN cannot start Windows - status: 0xc00000e9

  I read about this status code & the best advice from Microsoft saying that system restore can help. But it was stupid help because I can not load my system because I cannot complete startup repair because after clicking on windows for loading the files bar does not end up being completed!

  Instead, I find myself in the Windows Boot Manager to attempt the repair I've tried 3 times.

  Is there anything else I can do without having to pay money for parts.

  Thank you, mike

  Could you provide some essential information?
  What model of laptop you have exactly and what Windows OS are you using?
  Did you create recovery disks in the past?

• Satellite Pro C660 - keyboard problems

  This issue is one for computer laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-1UX running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1.

  Some of the keys on Board (E, T, U, I, O, A, B, N, and the Enter key) fail to register.
  All keys tested so far seem to register normally.

  When you connect an external USB keyboard, all the keys work properly. When you use the integrated keyboard or external USB keyboard, however, pressed some key is selected for about 2-3 seconds so that his character register. This makes typing incredibly slow and is naturally unacceptable.

  I checked the Manager of devices looking for errors, but can't find one. The keyboard driver is classified properly installed and functional, and driver update indicates that the latest version is in already in service.

  I've also scanned for viruses using Spybot and Malware bytes and also with laptops own antivirus software pre-installed. All the analyses of the entire system refer a none found the message of threat.

  I read that the keyboards on these machines can sometimes be problematic, which could respond only to edge, some function keys. The fact that all the external USB keyboard keys work seems to confirm this. However, the fact that the keyboard both onboard and external is affected by the same slow pressure might also suggest a bios problem - but that this laptop computer is several years old and working perfectly, why bios suddenly would cause this problem.

  I visited the Toshiba site and based on this laptop with the part number: PSC0ME-02100SEN, I have concluded (rightly or wrongly) that the correct bios download version is 1, 70 - WIN, only when I read the following installation instructions http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm bios
  I became quite concerned, like installing the bios update seems far from simple.

  Does anyone know if it is possible to download and install the bios right through an update automated versus manual download and installation step by step, which, if not carried out as planned, could make the laptop completely unusable.

  Has anyone reading this post experienced similar problems with this make and model laptop and was able to return successfully to the good operating condition. If so, how?

  All constructive advice would be welcome.

  > When you connect an external USB keyboard, all keys work correctly.

  This means that the keyboard controller is OK and the internal keyboard is defective.
  To resolve this problem of keyboard, internal keyboard needs to be replaced.

  > However, the fact that the keyboard on board as external is affected by the same keypress slow could also suggest a bios problem - but this laptop computer is several years old and works perfectly, why bios suddenly would cause this problem.

  Hmm I n t think so
  The keyboard delay can be bound to parameters.
  You can check this in the control panel-> keyboard

• Satellite Pro C660-1J3 - problem with OpenGL / Edrawing

  Thank you, useful, but still having problems. I downloaded "Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility) v 9.3.0.1019" and installed it the way you say, but the computer says I'm already under the latest version of the driver, which the computer is 8.15.10.2622.

  Hello

  I think the drawing application needs the graphics driver that supports OpenGL.
  To my knowledge, the driver of the Intel page should already contain the OpenGL.
  The Satellite supports graphics Intel HD (Intel HM55) so I think that you should use the driver from the Intel page, even if the update utility indicates that you are using the latest driver.

  I think that you need to uninstall the old driver through the Device Manager.
  In addition, check whether it should be uninstalled in the control panel-> software.

  Then download the latest driver for the Intel HM55 chipset, and install it via the Device Manager.
  You do this by using the Advanced installation procedure that will force windows to select the driver from the driver's record, that you have downloaded from the Intel page.

• Satellite Pro C660 graphic needs driver upgrade for Adobe Lightroom 6

  I tested 5 Lightroom on my Satellite Pro C660 and it worked fine.

  I decided to do it, and that week Lightroom 6 came out, so I bought Lightroom 6.

  LR6 gets to the start screen, then stops and closes the Windows7.
  I contacted Adobe and they went on my machine and identified the problem as being the graphics card and says I need an update of the driver.

  I've been on the Toshiba site and it says that the latest driver is 8.15.10.2189, which is the one I currently have (and was changed in 2012).

  I've been on the Intel site and their obtrusive says that the machine has a pilot custom then contact Toshiba.
  I looked around the Intel site and tried to install that seem to be plausible drivers, but have not found one that would install.

  My installation includes a monitor LG 22 "connected to the laptop with the spread of the desktop on both screens (laptop and monitor).

  No one knows what would be the upgrade of the driver I need or how can I know?

  James

  The page Intel graphics driver can be used, and you can also download the driver directly from the page.

  This CPU does support your laptop?
  What Intel GPU (Intel HD graphics chipset *) is the support of laptop?

  The Intel download page provides a driver Intel as an exe or zip package
  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/

  You need to download and unpack the zip package.
  You will then be able to update the driver in Device Manager, choose the Advanced installation update procedure.

• Keyboard stopped working on my Satellite Pro C660 2JD

  Hello world

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-2JD.

  The keyboard has stopped working, it only works when the keyboard screen is selected as soon as I close the screen keyboard that it stops working. I plugged another keyboard that doesn't work or only works of the mouse and the keyboard on the laptop works ok. I used the Ubuntu live CD, and the keyboard works with it, but not in windows.

  I have restored the laptop to factory settings and also make a clean installation still does not work only when the screen on the keyboard keyboard works. Does anyone have any ideas of what is the problem? It seems that something prevents the loading keyboard driver.

  Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings. Keyboard works in BIOS mode?
  Have you tested using \Windows in "safe mode" (F8)?
  Please test and send feedback.

• Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

  Hello

  My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
  I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

  The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
  SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
  He said that there is a missing driver.

  I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

  I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

  What can I do?

  Thanks for the help.
  Best regards
  Bruno Moreira

  More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
  In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
  As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

  However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

  But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
  Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
  Give it a try.

• Satellite Pro C660 - 21(d): question about the partitions on the HARD disk

  Hello

  I just started using my new satellite pro c660 - 21 d

  My office has drive c, d, u, s
  C either windows 7, Vista D
  The drive U is 342 meg in size

  I didn't have the disk in two 230 gig drive so thoughtless narrowed C drive of 70 GB and D drive with 10 gig (it's the primary recovery partition

  I have now two empty partitions of 170 Gig (from c drive)
  and 214 Gig (from d drive)
  But windows will only allow me to add one as a disc of the user
  He says may not have more than 4

  The reason for being there is a partition of Active recovery without letter.

  I can't unshrink drive C or drive D then I went with 170 GB of unused space.

  I guess that a solution would be to lose the data disk 10 gig that contains the recovery software but then I don't have a backup.

  Suggestions as to what I could do to work around this problem.

  I am now under the Create recovery disks (2 of them) so maybe I could remove one of the partitions after.

  I don't know why he answered instead of edition, but if the recovery disc creation complete with no errors, I can remove the hard drive?

• Satellite Pro C660-1 t 1: not able to play 3D games

  The file belongs to the driver ATI Technologies Inc. Radeon DirectX 11.
  He pilot s graphics card

  The games are not known to me, but regarding the error message, it seems that there is a problem of compatibility between game and driver GPU
  Therefore, I recommend an update the display driver

• Satellite Pro C660-1NR crashes intermittently, hard reset required

  Windows 7 64 bit Satellite Pro C660-portable 1NR

  Hello

  One of computer Laptop my users freezes at random times throughout the day. At first, I thought it was battery attached, as the first two occurrences that happened when using disconnected, but it has since then done when connected too. On average, it happens at least once a day.

  He will not resume later, the only way to get past that is holding down the power button then restarting.

  The problem started when downloading a number of updates from Windows about 6 weeks ago. Previously it has never frozen, not even once.

  I'll wait to die again (maybe today, maybe tomorrow!) and focus on the event log around the time he died.

  Don't you think that it is hardware or software related?

  I updated the drivers of the laptop, chipset etc, so everything is as up-to-date as I can get it.

  Nothing wrong with this laptop other than the gel, performs very well when it works.

  Your help is very appreciated.

  Kind regards
  Lee

  So why you n t try to fix the system to the point before the updates were installed? I think it would be the first step, try to solve this problem.

  > Do you think that it is hardware or software related?
  If the settings in the system at the point of early time would not help, I suppose that a recovery system would be the next step to find out the reason for this problem
  After the related question of the unit should work correctly if it could not well be material recovery

• Re: Satellite Pro C660-1UX keyboard became mad

  Hello

  Got a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-1UX with a crazy keyboard.
  It all started yesterday.

  Pressing a few keys I get nothing, some bad letters and when I press a ' get the date and time is displayed.
  Have updated the BIOS, no change. Connect a USB keyboard, everything works fine.

  A new keyboard will fix things?
  I see they are £20 on eBay.

  Thanks for the help.

  > Connect a USB keyboard, everything works fine.
  Yes, this means that the keyboard controller is OK and the internal keyboard needs to be replaced.

  > Will be a new keyboard fix things?
  Yes, new keyboard should solve the problem.

• Satellite Pro C660 is not commissioning

  Hello
  Deploy a satellite Pro C660, who decided that he no longer wants to start.

  When you press the power button, the green light turns on and the fan begins to hum, however, the laptop does not have to go through the routine of the POST and everything turns off.

  I checked the RAM Modules and the HARD disk automatically to the poor in the hope that the problem is simple, but nothing helped.

  I managed to start the laptop previously now CTRL + ALT + DELETE, when it has sprung into life. But this trick works now is no more. I also tried waving the F12 or F2 key at startup, but the laptop won't always start.

  I should mention that this laptop is not very old, less than six months, but if there is a simple solution as an alternative to return, I would like to try rather than the first!

  Hope someone has a solution?

  To these questions there is not some sort of magic bullet.
  The description of your problem is OK, but we don t know what you don t in the past.
  This problem doesn't happen for no reason and maybe something you did can be responsible for this.

  Looks defective BIOS so can you please tell us since when you have this problem, and maybe you tried to update the BIOS in the past?

• Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

  I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

  In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
  I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

  I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

  > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
  Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
  If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

  You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
  In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

  Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

  Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.
