Satellite Pro C660 not turn on - green LED only

Sorry if this is a piece of cake for you.

Laptop was overheating. I usually just unscrew a few screws, dig up the lint on the fins, rebuild and everything is ok.

BIG mistake: I hibernated computer instead of turn off, battery on the left and then disassembled (don't ask me how or why I did it because I don't know)

A lot of fluff out of fins.

Reconstruction, button / stop only lights up green LED, screen remains dead, no audio noise, no beeps.

Took part 3 times now and rebuilt, but can't find a problem.

Drive in a caddy and saved elsewhere,

No idea what is going on, or if the laptop is repairable? I feel such a fool.

Thanks if you can help

The laptop supports HARD SATA 2.5 drive. Laptops more (no matter who the manufacturer was) supports SATA 2.5 HARD disk and where the HARD drive is OK, you should be able to use it

but the preinstalled system contains the drivers and the drivers would probably be not compatible with the new laptop.

That is why it s recommended to move the data to the HARD drive on another source (another 2nd HDD, USB flash stick of memory, etc.) and then do a fresh install of the OS.

  • 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?

    This problem doesn't happen for no reason and maybe something you did can be responsible for this.

  • Satellite Pro C660-1NQ does not detect the WLan network

    Hi guys,.

    We have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-1NQ here that does not at all, detect the wireless network
    I checked the Device Manager and the wireless card does not show here.

    I tried scanning for new hardware, but nothing was found. I tried to turn the wireless off tension with the function and the keys F8 but not yet showing in Manager devices or any new hardware...

    Any ideas as to what I can try next?

    See you soon,.
    Ash

    Hello

    It seems that the laptop would support the Wlan Atheros 802.11agn card.
    Usually the Atheros Wlan card must appear in Device Manager as on the menu network cards.
    If it s not appear do not then I recommend that you install the WLAN driver which can be downloaded here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/?page=downloads

    Choose the Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter Windows 7 (32/64) 9.2.0.419.0 or newer
    I hope this helps to detect the WiFi chip!

  • 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 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 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.

  • 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 C660-2JR - wifi is not connecting

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro C660-2JR for my daughter, the unit works fine on lan cable, but not connecting not wireless.
    Wireless indicator shows an intense tone, but when I click on connect after that 10 seconds, it says connected failed.

    The network settings are correct (I checked with two other computers that connect without problem), the pc is running x 64 win7. on the toshiba site there is no drivers listed for the local network, I downloaded and installed the drivers from realtek realtek Web site, but no difference.
    Is this a problem with x 64?
    I've tried the recovery disks

    Can anyone help?
    Thank you

    Rob

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is, but there must be a problem with the WLAN settings I guess. What else? Your laptop can detect your router. Question is: what router do you have, what WLAN standard do you use, and you have WIFI password or not.

    Have you tried to reboot your router and check again?
    When you unlock your router you have the same problem?

  • Re: Magenta/Purple mount screen Satellite Pro C660-2JR

    Hello

    I just brought a new laptop Satellite Pro C660-2JR and a few hours after getting it I noticed he has a purple cast/tint on any gray tones and is especially noticeable if a B & W image is seen because it has tones of purple, white and black with grey wire no real!

    Its very visible on the default settings (which are mostly dressed and contrasting even after I turned the backlight down) and I adjusted the brightness, contrast and gamma via graphics driver as by test cards, but despite that I get this darn will not disappear.

    Is the only way to sort of get rid of him for the contrast of the Green layer but affecting the other colors as well so it's not really solve the problem and the cast usually ends either be clear or green purple with no real neutral gray.

    This distribution is visible in all lighting and all the corners of the screen.

    I send it back for a replacement or open a repair warranty on the laptop, is there anything anyone can suggest I do?

    It is not easy to discuss this issue. We will see what it looks like.

    In my opinion, you should contact your local dealer, compare it with other laptops of the same series and ask for replacement.

  • 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.

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my (Windows 7-64 bit) Satellite pro c660.

    When I want to activate or DΘsactiver wifi (fn + F8).
    I see the wifi turns on, but after 2 seconds, I got a BSOD...

    So I'm looking for drivers for my card (Realtek RTL8188CE) network and it does not work...
    I search a lot and I found this forum. I find a lot of problem of "my fn +; '. does not work"and respond you"try to install VAP. I have download this PPV to my computer and right after having extracted the files, I have this message: "Please restart your computer."
    I reboot and it still does not work... So I try to uninstall PPVS but I can't found on the Panel.

    (I now see the fn + F9 (of / activate the touchpad) does not work.)

    I have TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility version 1.62.0.28C.

    Hello

    Your message is very confusing
    First of all, I don t think that missing WLan driver would cause a BSOD.

    From my point of view you have a lot of problems with the system I m not quite sure if the resettlement of VAP would solve all your problems and I doubt that this would be solce your BSOD problem.

    So I advise to use the recovery disk to put the laptop back to factory settings. If the BSOD would still appear after that the laptop was recovered, then I guess as a hardware problem (probably faulty module WLan) causing this BSOD

Maybe you are looking for
