Satellite Pro C660 - Webcam is very grainey

• 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 C660-2DJ - 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 C660-29W. 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.

• 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 - BSOD for WLANs by FN + F8

  Hello!

  (Sorry for my bad English, but this is not my first language)

  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

• 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 C660-16F: power adapter that is compatible

  Hi all

  I recently lost the charger of my Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-16F.

  It provides the output DC 19V - 3, 42A

  My father also has a Toshiba Satellite, model A300 1RF

  Supplies of its DC 19V - 4, 74A Chargers

  I don't know if I can use the charger of my father for my computer, like I don't know
  If it is just the current or excessive current it can cause damage.

  Can someone give me the answer to that?, thank you very much in advance!

  Hello

  You can use another adapter 19V.
  The value of the Volt is very important. You can ONLY use the power adapter that supports the 19V
  The ampere is too important, but it may be a little different.

  Your original adapter supports 3.42 Ampère and other 4.74. It's a little higher but not really relevant.

• Change Win7 64-bit to 32-bit on the Satellite Pro C660-16N

  Hello.

  >... Satellite Pro C660-16N - Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium pre-installed...

  Nobody knows what the best route is change Win7 64 bit for Win7 32 bit. This model has a 32-bit install on HARD drive recovery option?

  Or he will have to do a clean install of Win7 32 bit DVD.

  Thank you very much.

  I guess that this laptop is available with 64-bit only (specification) and there is only one way to install the version OS 32-bit, you must install it using original Microsoft Win7 32 bit installation disc.
  Please note: for the activation of the operating system, you can use the product key from the sticker. You must purchase a new license for your own installation.

  By the way: also check if this laptop model is supported for 32-bit version. You can do this on Toshiba support and download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Satellite Pro C660-1NR crashes intermittently, hard reset required

  Windows 7 64 bit Satellite Pro C660-portable 1NR

  Hello

  One of computer Laptop my users freezes at random times throughout the day. At first, I thought it was battery attached, as the first two occurrences that happened when using disconnected, but it has since then done when connected too. On average, it happens at least once a day.

  He will not resume later, the only way to get past that is holding down the power button then restarting.

  The problem started when downloading a number of updates from Windows about 6 weeks ago. Previously it has never frozen, not even once.

  I'll wait to die again (maybe today, maybe tomorrow!) and focus on the event log around the time he died.

  Don't you think that it is hardware or software related?

  I updated the drivers of the laptop, chipset etc, so everything is as up-to-date as I can get it.

  Nothing wrong with this laptop other than the gel, performs very well when it works.

  Your help is very appreciated.

  Kind regards
  Lee

  > The problem started when downloading a number of updates from Windows about 6 weeks ago. Previously it has never frozen, not even once.

  So why you n t try to fix the system to the point before the updates were installed? I think it would be the first step, try to solve this problem.

  > Do you think that it is hardware or software related?
  If the settings in the system at the point of early time would not help, I suppose that a recovery system would be the next step to find out the reason for this problem
  After the related question of the unit should work correctly if it could not well be material recovery

• 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 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?

  To these questions there is not some sort of magic bullet.
  The description of your problem is OK, but we don t know what you don t in the past.
  This problem doesn't happen for no reason and maybe something you did can be responsible for this.

  Looks defective BIOS so can you please tell us since when you have this problem, and maybe you tried to update the BIOS in the past?
