Satellite Pro C660-171 - Double entry and/or loss of input key while typing

Toshiba Satellite Pro C660

As we bought this laptop in November 10, she has had intermittent problems with typing. Find the keyboard will miss the characters typed or type them twice. Fortunately, he can this all day and then stop and return to normal.
We restored it back to factory settings and still does intermittently. Our man IT insists it is a software problem, but has been unable to find what it is.

Bizaarly, we bought two of these laptops at the same time and they both have the same defect.

Any help?

  • Satellite Pro C660-2DJ - Windows 10 Upgrade and lack of Chicony Driver

    Well, Toshiba said the Satellite Pro C660 2DJ is not able to upgrade Windows 10. This time I found statement opposite on other sites and installed it. I'm happy enough, because I use it. Ah there is always a but... the Chicony USB 2 Laptop camera is registered as a device, but with (!) in yellow showing no driver. I found a driver for this device, but under Windows 7 64-bit.

    It would be very risky to install an old original driver now that Windows 10 is fine? As a rider to this, I know now there are thousands of people who were sure that their machines would be upgraded to Windows 10 and they are desperate because very little work. Thoughts, anyone?

    Win8 Toshiba does not offer driver webcam more as the operating system uses standard Windows driver.
    I did not pass my S50 - B Satellite so I do not know if I have an identical problem on my machine.

    I'm really interested if another user of the forum has the solution for this.

  • Satellite Pro C660 - 24 k: Webcam/Microphone and interface issues

    I went on Skype to talk and I found that it could not detect a webcam, and the other person couldn't hear my voice. I checked Device Manager and no imagery or recording device has been found.
    The camera and microphone are integrated. They have worked before.

    There is another problem that may be related. When I got the laptop, when I pressed the fn key, a bar at the top of the pop up screen would be who showed me what did all the various f keys. It no longer appears.

    Also, when I got the laptop, if I plug headphones or an external mic into the line out Sockets, a pop-up message would be. In this case no longer, and the laptop is not receiving any input headphones I plug into it.

    I tried to reinstall the drivers of webcam, but in vain. According to Device Manager there is no. If this were the only problem, so I can put down to damage, but other problems give me a feeling it has something to do with a kind of software can I have accidentally disabled or deleted, which exercises control over the webcam/mic and the line output, which also produces pieces of UI such as the fn key.

    I can't identify a moment when it stopped working I barely noticed the webcam and the microphone does not work as I them haven't used for a while. I noticed, however, how pressing the "fn" key is no longer shows the respective information on the screen.

    The menu of the FN button that appears just by pressing the FN key combination is controlled by the Support of Flash memory card utility.
    Try restarting this software located in all programs > Toshiba-> Flash Cards

    If this does not work, reinstall the Support of Flash memory card utility.

    It seems that the laptop supports the Realtek audio chip. That is why the Realtek HD audio Manager must be preinstalled and placed in the Panel.
    Go to the dashboard-> Realtek HD audio manager
    In the upper right corner, there is a small yellow folder called "Connector settings" in my version.
    There, finally I could re-enable the setting "enable popup dialog box, when the unit is plugged.

    I m not sure about the question of the webcam... perhaps that the system is confusing the Skype upwards and face recognition software uses the same cam then perhaps you should uninstall the software for the webcam, Skype and a face recognition software and must restart the laptop. After the software installation of webcam, facing new to Skype and recognition software.

  • Satellite Pro C660 - Synaptic Touchpad pinch zoom partially does not work

    Hey there,

    The laptop I have is a satellite pro C660 2I. I've had my laptop for a year (ish) now, and he always had this 'problem '.

    The touchpad has the ability to "pinch" which allows the user to zoom in or out using 2 digits on the touchpad (i.e. move the fingers together to zoom out).

    Unfortunately, the touchpad recognises 2 figures as being present when I use only one finger, but only when I use the right side (or two-thirds of the pad from the right).

    This made me think that maybe he was dirty, greasy etc so I cleaned and nothing has changed. I tried to uninstall the driver, reinstall / update... nothing. The strange thing is that it seems to work for approx. 1 second after I apply pressure to the left hand side in a movement of friction and then use the right side. This leads me to believe that the left side is * being constantly recognized as in use even when it is not *, but I don't know why.

    I do that anyone can recommend?
    Open the laptop and clean it?
    A component failed to be replaced? A software update?

    I'm at my wits end with this laptop, and this is the only problem... is so constant now that the pad is almost unusable (deepened over time, but it wasn't a big deal at first).

    Thanks in advance,
    Griff

    NOTE: If there are all the technical information required, please treat me like a cave man / technological invalid. I am somewhat qualified but I would rather patronisingly simple instructions as sending unnecessary information to those who are trying to help me lose some time.

    Perhaps your question describes isn't related to a dysfunction of the touchpad, but on the fact that the touchpad supports the dual mode functionality.

  • 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.

    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.

    Thank you

    Supervisor password is very important safety device and a kind of reset of the user is not possible. You can cancel it, but you must know the correct password to confirm that you are the real owner computer laptop.

    Toshiba provider in your country can help you with this. You just approve that you are owner of the laptop, and they can cancel it for you. Of course, you must pay for it.

    As far as I know, there are several techniques for the removal of password and it depends on phone model.

  • 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 C660-1LR - 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.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro C660 bricked by update of the BIOS that failed

    My sister asked me to update his laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-16N; The part number PSC0ME-01S00SEN) of Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) of Windows 8 (64-bit).
    So I did.

    Then I went UK from Toshiba Web site to check if there are any drivers I had to install for Windows 8. The only one was an update of the BIOS (for BIOS v1.70). I don't know what was the previous BIOS version number.

    So I run the update application in Windows 8. Phoenix WinPhlash Technologies starts and then in the middle of the update, everything freezes.

    The trackpad would not move the cursor or anything like that. I had no choice but to disconnect the phone from the wall and remove the battery. The laptop is not under warranty.

    Of course, now it won't turn. It will beep once when I press the power button, but the system does not light. A few minutes later, it looks like one long beep and two short beeps. It then keeps repeating this sequence every two minutes "one long beep, 2 short beeps".

    I google and read the site after the blog after the post on the forum, but nothing works. Links to the software offered on these forums/blogs/Web sites in french are usually dead, so I can't try what they suggest.

    The most common solution is the Phoenix crisis recovery tool. I managed to download v1.0.0.4 which is supposed to allow me to make a bootable USB key. The version of this tool that I downloaded is supposed to be for a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. I have the correct BIOS.rom to C660 Pro Satellite (I renamed BIOS.wph and copied to the appropriate folder).

    I followed all the instructions, but it doesn't seem to work. Some sites say if it happens, I have the wrong version of phlash16.exe. Some other sites say that HP Boot Disk USB Utility should be used, but I don't know how to use it.

    What I really need, is a definitive step by step foolproof guide to know what to do, with links to the files/tools to use for this model of laptop. I will follow this blindly (which I don't really understand what makes each step, I just do it with no understanding,) so if anyone can help me with this, please write a guide like an idiot!

    If anyone can help me with this, I appreciate it. I'm really in a difficult situation - I can't really afford to pay a Toshiba ASP to fix it, and I can't afford a new laptop certainly. But I also couldn't bring myself to tell my sister, ' it's broken, deal!

    Thanks in advance.

    Satellite Pro C660 does not illuminate. no noise, no light just fill out the dead.

    any suggestions?

    Hello

    On this virtual path, it is not possible to provide an accurate diagnosis. All you can do is to unplug the power plug, remove the battery and leave it for a while. Then press the power button and hold it for 15 or 20 seconds.
    After doing this connect the power running and try to start again.

    > 2. How can I when my Toshiba can't connect to the internet.
    I guess you are able to access the internet because you have posted here in the forum.
    So why you n t download and store all the drivers on a USB key where you could launch the driver installation.

  • Satellite Pro C660 - possible upgrade to 8 GB of RAM?

    Hello

    I recently bought a PSC0MA Satellite Pro C660-01K00V from a seller online with guarantee all covered. He came like a usual model would come like but with 6 GB of RAM. I thought it was a great buy so I bought it.

    After it happened, I looked at the specs on the website and it said that the max is 4 GB of RAM. I don't know what happened. The memory in the machine is 1 x 4 GB Kingston 1 x Samsung (original).

    Could you tell me what it is and if I can probably not even 8 GB hold?

    Hi foolman555,

    Why you n t according to the official specs?

    Satellite Pro C660 has Intel GL40 Express Chipset and the chipset is limited to 4 GB of RAM. This means that your laptop supports only 4 GB of RAM and no more.

    But usually 4 GB is enough for most applications, and I don't see a reason why a 6 GB upgrade would be so important ;)
