Satellite Pro C660 - on and off the problem with Touchpad

Hey guys,.

I had one on and out of the question with my touchpad at least a few months now. I tried to do the function + F9 thing with little effect. Also, I re-uploaded the synaptics driver, which seems to make it work for a little while but then it started working sporadically.

Currently my touchpad works from time to time, if it fails on the first pressing Ctrl Alt Del and then Esc seems to do the job for a little long but after that it just stops working. I am a student and not having is not a fully functional laptop is often a major obstacle if any help would be great.

Best,

Hello

My first question is: When did you notice this problem from touchpad.

I mean, the Sat Pro C660 is a portable old and if this issue seemed to be in the first day of purchase, then something touched the touchpad feature in the past.

The question is: is at - it something wrong with the software or touchpad maybe module.
I think that can be answered only the settings of the notebook back to factory State.
If you are recovering the using laptop computer Toshiba recover disk, you will get exactly the same State as at the first day of the purchase.

If the touchpad would not always work properly, well there is some hardware problem

  • Re: Satellite Pro C660 - how to do the recovery with command prompt disc?

    I have a brand new Pro C660 of Satellite. It worked fine for a day, now it will not load windows. I don't have to create the recovery disks, as I only had a few hours (Yes, Yes, I know, should have been the first thing I did). All data are present (but backed up just in case USB) and I can see the folder HDDREcovery with all data intact. However, I can't run the application to create recovery discs. Does anyone know how to extract the images and create the media using only the command line? (I can go into command prompt by booting from the Windows 7 disc a friend). All options fail own laptop startup disks. It says 'Windows does not load' and I try startup repair, but it detects no error. Any help/thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated!

    Hey,.

    It of not possible to create the drive with command prompt recovery. You must use the Windows Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.

    Now it s too late for you, but you can order a disc here:

    I recently purchased a DVD - ROM drive to put my optical drive Sat Pro 4290 a CD in DVD - ROM. As suspects, I am the problem if the drive is not recognized and get error IDE #1.

    I can get windows XP to recognize the disk by deleting the secondary IDE channel in the material and then look up the new material again. Then installs the IDE channel and then detects and installs the DVD-ROM and works very well. I restart the computer laptop and back to square one!

    > I understand it's something to do with the settings of the motherboard and someone has solved this welding pins in different locations on the IDE connectors.

    Set to true if not 100%. This isn't a matter of adjustment on the motherboard, but the setting of the CD/DVD drive.
    The Player supports different master\slave\c-salt settings and if they are not compatible BIOS does not correctly recognize drive.

    On external hard drives (for desktop) it s possible to change these settings by changing the jumper, but it is not possible for readers portable slim.
    Portable settings are stored in the firmware!

    I found various non-legal tools that can change the master/slave/c-salt settings but I wouldn't recommend using it.
    The risks are too high so that the reader will have some damage.

Please can someone tell me how I can contact toshiba to get news that the laptop is still under warnety, I can't find a phone or e-mail contact anyhere.

    Also, I noticed that the battery life has decreased dramatically, I used to get 3.5 to 4 hours on full battery, now I get about 1.3 hours, which seems unacceptable to me. The laoptop is under the same constraints of cpu power, as it was when I brought it is not that I use also the right of the battery until it is dead and do not supply current when the battery is fully charged.

  • 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 C660-239 - restore from recovery media error

    Hello!

    I have a laptop from a client, it is a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-239, and I'm having a strange problem.

    The original hard drive failed, and as the laptop is out of warranty, we bought a new hard drive and ordered the recovery media to this model, our assistance to repair local toshiba.

    After the installation copied the files on the disk, the imageX command fails when you restore the image with error files:

    "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

    The hard drive is new, and I also tried with more than 2 hard drives, as well as with an external cd-rom drive.

    I spoke with the support of assistance local repair, and told me that this happens because the ins new ' t compatible with the recovery media hard drive?

    One of the new disks hard I tried, was the exact same model as the original hard disk, and the error persists, so the hard drive may not be the problem.

    Y does it have that no change in the recovery media is corrupt?

    Could also be a motherboard problem?

    Thank you

    > Is there any change in the recovery media is corrupt?
    Of course, this is possible.
    In case the HARD disk is OK, the recovery media may be damaged.

    > Could also be a motherboard problem?
    I don t think so. I imagine that the HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS and the error message says something about corrupt directory. I guess the disk directory that is the meaning and I think that the media should be replaced.

  • 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 ;)

    Hello.
    I work with the old Satellite Pro 440. I have a problem with reinstalling Windows 98.

    I don't have a CD of the device and the FDD. But I have installed MS-DOS 6.22 on the HARD drive and folder with Win98.
    When I start to appear then receipt message on screen: "ATTENTION: a serious error occurred when writing on drive c. Retry (r)? Checked HARD drive on another PC and errors was not recognized. HDD (Toshiba MK6015) had divided to two parts: C - FAT 1024Mo, D - FAT32 rest.

  • Problem WiFi on Satellite Pro C660-2TQ - lose the internet connection

    While I have to disconnect in the bottom right corner my laptop and connect again manually.

    I saw read several discussions about the problems with this specific wifi adapter, but no solution has helped me...

    I didn't install all the listed drivers (34 available for me) but then what I Normand to update my BIOS or would it be a driver as the driver for the touchpad is necessary to get my wifi working properly?

    Hope you guys could help me...

    Hello

    WiFi disconnection problems have different causes and its not easy to say why it happens.
    So, you will need to check each step and each option.

    First of all, you will get the latest version of the driver for this adapter WLan on the Realtek driver page:
    [Download driver Realtek RTL8188CE | http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level= 5 & Conn = 4 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false & downloads = EU tr]

    Would recommend that you do not install this driver.
    Before you begin with the installation, uninstall the previous driver.

    Secondly: it would be possible that this issue isn't related WLan driver and update the driver wouldn't help you much. In this case you should check the other parameters.
    I recommend you to check the router settings and test different standards WLan (802.11 B / G or N).

    In many cases, the problems of compatibility between the router and wireless network card could lead to similar to your question.
    Of course, you should also go to Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab
    and must check if you can switch between the WLan standards singles (802.11 B / G or N)
    Power management also in tab (last tab) you must unselect the option to turn off the device to save power.
