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.

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.

    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.

  • Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

    In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
    Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

    What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

    When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

    When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
    The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

  • 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 L40 does not start

    When I turn on my Satellite Pro L40 it shows me a screen asking me to start to repair windows or start windows normally.
    When you choose the option it brings me to the same screen.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you very much

    Salvation will be

    For me, it looks like the OS installed was confused for no apparent reason
    If you are not able to boot into the Windows XP operating system and if the repair option doesn t helps to start in safe mode I n t see any other possibility as to boot from the Toshiba restore CD and reinstall the OS again!

    But note; boot from the restore CD will format the whole HARD drive and you will lose all files stored on the HARD drive. ?

    It is a drastic procedure but in my eyes he's the only one who could allows to solve this problem.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - does not start with 4 GB of memory

    Hi all

    I'm new here so please be gentle!

    I have a Satellite Pro A120, model No. PSACOE - 037014EN and you want to increase the memory 512 MB present. I tried 2 different sets of memory 4 GB (2x2gb), but the machine does not start. I tried the different modules together and on their own but still no joy.

    Where I'm going wrong? This model will not take 2 GB memory modules?

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Best regards

    Dr. Feelgood

    Hello

    Before changing something about your hardware, please make sure that if the computer supports the new pieces of material and, therefore, you can also consult the user manual.

    Anyway, I checked this and this laptop can only be upgraded to 2 GB maximum. This means that you can use the module of 1 GB in each slot and * no * 2 GB in each slot.

    So please bring back the memory modules and buy 2x1GB. It will work.

  • Satellite Pro L50 does not start with 8 GB

    I have a brand new L50 Pro of Satellite (PSKK3A-001001)

    Config of RAM is default of 1 x 4 GB memory DDR3 12800 1 use slot 1 slot free
    I removed 4GB and install 1 DDR3L 12800 8 GB but it does not start.
    The form of State capacity 16 GB so with 2 slots logically, that means 2 x 8 GB cards.
    He also said DDRL, which I assume is the correct type.

    The 4 GB mark was Hynix and the 8 GB is Apacer.
    Anyone have a resolution on this or know what the problem is?

    On this forum you can find many threads where people describe similar problems. In most cases the problem is compatibility modules, especially if Ram needs to be upgraded with modules produced by different manufacturers.

    According to the specifications of the laptop you need DDR3L memory (1600 Mhz).
    Talk with your dealer and ask if there's Kingston compatibility module. Kingston offers high quality and 100% compatible memory modules.

  • Satellite Pro 460 does not start with the new drive in

    I recently received a Satellite Pro 460, but he had no hard drive.
    It starts great without a disc in but as soon as I put a new hard drive in it does not start.

    I thought that it might be again a hard drive, so I pulled out my old Toshiba Satellite with my old drive to work, and yet, it does not start.

    Someone has any ideas why this is and what I can do about it

    I think that you can not do much. Satellite pro 460 CDT, for example, comes with 2 GB of HARD drive. If you try to get it work with similar HDD without success, it may be defective IDE port on the motherboard.

    What HARD drive you are trying to use on this good old classic?

  • Satellite Pro C650 - does not start

    Hey all,.

    My Satellite Pro C650 boot not beyond a certain point. I tried to start in all modes different for example safe mode, mode of networking,

    However this proved unsuccessful, the laptop freezes and I meet a constant and regular beep at the same point every time that I try to start. I even tried to start Linux 12.04 USB to see if it's hardware or software, unfortunately is the same, which means hardware failure.

    The problem is that I don't know the bios beep codes and I can't understand what needs fixing.
    I was hoping you could help me!

    Thanks :)

    I think you need professional help with this problem. I don't know if your laptop is always guaranteed to be valid, but in my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help. They have special diagnostic tools and hardware malfunction can be detected and repaired.

  • Satellite Pro c660 does not connect to another wireless after format

    Hey all,.

    I have a Satellite Pro c660 and bought a copy of windows 64 bit with him - the laptop come with many software from toshiba on what I wanted really, I therefore installed windows 64 bit (fitness in the process).

    After the Installation I had some problems connecting to my wireless home (he was missing drivers, but have now install) but finally got it works.

    After having taken it round my friends last night, I could not connect to its wireless - the password has been good and I could see the network, but he just kept constantly defect - its network was on it, because his cell phone he was performing. -The only difference between its network and the spirit (that I can see), it's that she was using the TKIP encryption to connect, while I was using AES (my network card is Atheros). -Even when I tried to configure a network profile and have it automatically connect (using the same information she used, including the TKIP encryption) - it was always not.

    The ideas people? More missing drivers?

    PS - I really don't want all that toshiba nanny software on the laptop.

    Thanks in advance!

    > Any ideas people? More missing drivers?

    If you can see the Wlan network then it means that the WiFi adapter driver is correctly installed and the problem is between the router configuration problems WiFi and wireless network card.

    Are you abele to connect to other networks wireless at home?

    Please disable encryption settings in the Wlan router and try to connect to the Wlan that is unprotected.
    But note; This must be done only for testing purposes!

    You should also check if the MAC address filtering is disabled in the settings of the router.

  • Satellite Pro 480CDT does not start (even in BIOS)

    Hi all

    I just hand on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 480CDT

    I had to work with the original power supply (on an inverter plugged into my 12v cars I wasn't close to 240 v power outlet)

    It worked very well, it boots into Windows 98 and I played with a few programs (Media Player and defragmentation)

    I got it defragment for about 5 minutes, while charging via the car converter, however it froze and I had to hold the power button to restart.

    When I tried to next turn on the screen remains empty, the hard drive is not turn and there is only the power LED and battery LED that lights up.

    He let me press the function key that lights up the fn LED on top of the keyboard, but then after a few presses of lighting stops.

    I opened the case and concluded that there are two batteries of the bios, the look at where they are plugged into the main Board, there is green type of corosion on the pins, I removed the plugs (who might add when it is very difficult to remove because of the coros), I cleaned the plugs (male & female) with a pen of WD40 and plugged in I got a voltmeter on them and they demonstrate tension and also show higher voltage when the power supply for laptop is connected, then it means they are load or at least tension.

    After doing this I go up the laptop, but it still suffers from the same problem?

    Please what could someone help or give me a little advice? My next event is the power supply Board but wanted to get some ideals before hand.

    Thanks in advance.

    > after doing this I go up the laptop, but it suffers still from the same problem?

    His pity to hear that your baby dead :(
    But if we move to a diagnosis of material, I doubt someone here might be able to point in the right direction if his motherboard problem, it would be really difficult to solve this problem without using special tools, circuit diagram of motherboard and of course experience

    I think you should check the modules memory vivid faulty ram could affect the laptop everything is just speculation
