• 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.

• Satellite Pro C850-1GU - need info about partitions

  Hello

  I just bought this computer and I was check s settings, when I found that there are 3 partitions from disk:
  (1) recovery partition 1.46 don't Go no file system
  (2) hand to 451,55 NTFS partition
  (3) empty partition 12.75 go no file system

  After reading several posts and user manual which has not informed me before g33k mode and play with the settings of Toshiba I wanted to know

  (a) once create recovery disks I can delete the partition (1)?
  (b) partition (3) seem to be empty, what he drank s?

  (> a) once create recovery disks can I delete the partition (1)?
  No, because it's the standard Win 7 partition that is created automatically by Windows 7. It usually contains files that are used for self-system repair its not desirable to delete this partition.

  (> b) partition (3) seem to be empty, what he drank s?
  I guess that its HARD drive recovery partition. It contains the files on HARD drive recovery and create recovery discs.
  I would not also to recommend delete, but if you really want to remove it, you can do because the use of the recovery disk would create this partition again.

  Hi, I was looking to get a new HDD on my PSC0MA Satellite Pro C660-01K00V, guys please help me out by telling me the size, the interface, Cache, spin speed and other things that I would need to buy a new. A 750 GB + would do well

  Thank you

  Hello

  You will need to buy a SATA HDD.
  The Satellite Pro C660 series to buy a SATA 2.5 HARD.
  Additional specifications who love speed (RPM) and the size are not confined.
  As far as I know that the SATA controller can handle all sizes of disk so, theoretically, you can put a 500 GB and larger.

• Need cable to screen for my Satellite Pro C660 2JD

  I tried to find a Satellite Pro C660-2JD display cable for several months now with absolutely no luck at all... I even tried to display the C660 series cables and none of them seem to match, there seems to be it's own cable.

  Anyone know where I can find the display for this model of laptop cable? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  It is quite difficult to find these parts. When I need something I look for on eBay. With a bit of luck, you will find many parts for models of different laptops.

  Have you tried to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask if they can get this cable for you?

• 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 C660-29W. How to remove the supervisor password

  Hi all
  I've been locked out of my bios and I don't know the password. My little brother was playing with my laptop computer and accidentally set the supervisor password. Is it possible that I can recover the password or reset it? I really need to change my boot sequence as I just bought a new SSD and need to format my laptop. Suggestions will be highly appreciated.

  Here's my version of bios and details of laptop

  Toshiba satellite Pro C660-29W

  CPU Intel Core i5 2410 M

  8 GB Ram DDR3

  BIOS: BIOS FRIEND - installation utility Aptio
  BIOS system ver: 1.50
  THIS Version: 1.50

  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.

  Contact the closest Toshiba ASP and ask for help.

• 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.
  You can check this in the control panel-> keyboard

• 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 - what drivers should I download?

  Hi - my C660 Pro Satellite died last week. We have replaced the hard drive, but I don't have the recovery disks. We were able to load Windows 7 but now we need to load the drivers. I found the page download drivers.

  Sorry its naïve but

  1 should. what drivers I download?
  2. How can I when my Toshiba can't connect to the internet.

  Thanks in advance

  > 1. Should what drivers I download?

  Download and install any Satellite Pro C660 drivers for your Windows System. In case you are using Win 7 32 bit, download Win7 32-bit drivers

  > 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 - restore to factory settings

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660.

  I have some problems with this computer and I intend to sell it.
  I want to set the computer to how it was when I took it out of the box.

  I read a lot of popular advice on that. I tried holding 0, which do not work. I entered in the system by pressing f8. I get a screen when I get options on what I want to do with my computer, but it is not an option that allows me to look again at 'out of the box"State.
  What I read, this option is supposed to be here.
  I have no restore disk as laptop did not come with one.
  I am running to options

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  Laura

  Hi Laura

  What you want to do is HARD recovery disk image installation and it works as described in the
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  To be clear: this works if your laptop is always the factory settings. If your laptop is preinstalled with the clean version of the OS option repair your computer will not be available more.

  Problem is that this situation can be avoided if the owner of the laptop has created the installation disc of recovery following the instructions described in the user s manuals document. I presume you didn't create this disc.

  Now, there is only one option to get the original on your machine settings: you need to order the original disc of recovery for your laptop model and you can do it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  Or you can remove all the important data of your machine and sell with actual configuration.

• Satellite Pro C660 - 16 X - Internet Exlporer has stopped working

  Hello

  Can someone help me here please?

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro C660 - 16 X, and about 5 days of internet explore has stopped working completely. I am connected to a wireless system that works well since I am on now computer it works fine. I tried another web browser like Opera, but that does not work either.

  Can someone advise what I need to do to get access to the back of the internet?

  Thank you

  Have you tried to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore option?

  By the way: what do you mean with a stopped working?
  This means that some page cannot be opened, or you cannot start IE at all?
  Is there an error message?

  What is with opera? The opera starts it or not?
  How to understand this?
  If you ask something please, offer more information as possible and not a general statement. It can help us better understand.

• 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.
