Satellite Pro C660D-187 - when should I update drivers?

Hello

I recently received a Satellite Pro C660D-187
When "update drivers". I'm not technical interested so do not have much of a clue, unfortunately.

Thank you, C

Hello

I would update the driver only if I would notice some problems with my laptop.
For example if the WiFi connection is not stable; I would update the driver for wireless network card

But I have always followed this advice: never change a system up and running, you know
Of course windows updates should always be made to close security leaks

  • Java games crashing when loading on Satellite Pro C660D

    So I have the Toshiba Satellite Pro C660D for Christmas. The first thing I did as a teenager was to examine the specifications to see if she would be able to reasonably run the games.

    Care was fine for me. So I installed a few games, Minecraft installed first, which crashed. I then install Farming Simulator to see if it was just Minecraft, farming Simulator crashed.

    I tried to install the latest drivers from the Web site intel however, Setup seems just close when the installation is about to begin.

    I am really very disappointed because my old Dell inspiron 1525 which has been literally if collapse will run these games very well.

    If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
    Connor

    Chalky Hello,

    You're not alone, my son has saved his Christmas money to buy a Satellite C660-21Z. I checked on the minecraft site by putting in the specifications of the machine and it should work just fine. When we try, it crashes when connecting.

    This seems to just be a Toshiba _problem games_ java running, and there is already stuff of minecraft in this regard support forum. I started in Bartpe XP and got, it works using _it is not a hardware problem, _ but the satellite comes with win7 and I don't want to go down.

    I tried to put java day and according to the minecraft forum, the problem is that the Satellite comes with the ATI driver that needs to be removed. That would be wise because it works with a Bartpe bootable disk, but not with the Toshiba software package. I'm afraid to support Toshiba seem very reluctant to help, because you have probably already found. >>

    As minecraft works ok off a bartpe cd, I would say that there must be a problem of Toshiba running and it works ok on other laptops, and also other Java games seems to fail on the C660, I guess that there is a conflict of drivers with java. I'm sorry, but nobody else seems to be able to get a c660 longer works.

    I bought mine from Amazon that I noticed that many of those "renovated", may be returned and exchanged because they do not have Java?
    I'm giving my son until January and then request a refund if we cannot make it work.

    Sorry I can't help more and please let me know if you get a solution because otherwise it seems a nice laptop.

  • Satellite Pro C660D - CD player very loud vibrations during some CD extraction

    The optical drive of my Satellite Pro C660D - 10 c a very loud vibration ripping CDs...
    It's only a couple of months. It does not occur with all CD, but when that happens, I push the door to count and/or drive chassis to tolerate!
    Any similar experience... ?

    Hello

    I guess the drive is running with the highest speed while ripping the CD.
    This would cause these vibrations.
    I noticed a similar behavior of reader on my laptop Toshiba No.
    Since my CD/DVD drive works fine and all discs can be played, I think that it s a hardware problem

    I guess you, CD/DVD drive can read discs properly also. Right?
    Well, in my opinion you should not be worried because of these vibrations, but of course you can also ask the local Toshiba ASP technician for another opinion

    have you tried to update drivers Lan (wlan)? What browser do you use? I guess, the Internet explorer, try firefox or opera. Also, your computer may be infected with the virus, or blocked by the firewall. Have you installed software before it starts? Is this ok when you bought it? I ask you too, because you do not have a lot of information.
    It is especially the driver, software problem.

    The video controller is a graphics chip that requires a graphics card driver.

  • Satellite Pro L500 - stops when the power cord removed

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 stops when the power cord is removed even with the battery to 100%. I removed the battery and all the indications associated with battery answer correctly. For example turns off, Toshiba Health Monitor also indicates when the battery is removed. If installed Health monitor indicates that the battery is at 100%.

    Someone please help. I have not installed anything new.

    Hey,.

    For me, the matter is clear: the battery can't hold a charge so the laptop will be shut down because it has no power.

    I think you need to replace the battery with a new one and you can get a provider of service authorized in your country. Simply contact the guy and ask that they can tell you how much it would cost.

    You can find a list of all FSA here:

  • Satellite Pro L670-18F - pilots missing after updating BIOS

    I have a Satellite Pro L670-18F and I recently updated the BIOS to version 1.5, recommended by the site, but now my internet speed is VERY slow and I have some devices in the Device Manager without drivers related to the bios (from Googling) and so I realized that the bios has been a problem.

    Does anyone know this laptop came with to downgrade the BIOS version? Also, if I reinstall windows will I receive a new bios version or will it would not affected?

    Hey,.

    Did you download and install the correct version of the BIOS of your laptop? Satellite Pro L670-18F belongs to the series of PSK3FE AFAIK, so have you chosen BIOS for this series of model?

    In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS. Just press F9 key if you are in the BIOS Setup.

    If you reinstall Windows, the BIOS will not be affected. BIOS and Windows are different, you will always have the latest version of the even you change your operating system.

    Hello

    I want to say clearly that portable computers technology design is not the same as on the desktop and if you have a good experience with desktop computers, you'll know that upgrading the graphics cards is not so problematic, but on laptops, the situation is very different.

    Laptops design and construction doesn't allow such flexibility for upgrades, upgrading the graphics card is not possible.

    Hello

    Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
    And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

    You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E. Should I keep or not?

    Hello

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E. It came pre-installed with Vista and also a DVD to upgrade to windows 7 Professional (that I installed).

    I tried to start the machine this morning, but for some reason it wouldn't start. All that's happened is that the initial toshiba screen appears, followed by a black screen frozen (showing underscore in the top left corner).

    The thing is that I have seem to have been able to solve this problem, but I do not understand how and why this happened!
    The issue seems to be related to the battery. At first, I tried to boot up the laptop (with only the battery connected) however it would not start. I don't think this has nothing to do with the amount of battery charge, because it had more than enough in it. I then tried to start it with just the power cable (and no battery). For some reason any that seemed to do the trick, and the laptop has been able to start. The laptop has now also boots when battery and the attached cable.

    Why is this happening?
    I am interested to know, is because this laptop already has given me a few problems. The laptop also bought very recently, so I can still return it for a refund (which I seriously think!).

    What should I do guys? Any help/advice you give to this topic would be highly appreciated.

    Thank you
    Jay

    > All that's happened is that the initial toshiba screen appears, followed by a black screen frozen (showing underscore in the top left corner).

    Underscore flashing in the left corner means that the BIOS battery was empty or something wrong with the HARD drive (possibly BIOS didn't find the right source of start-up)

    I recommend access to BIOS and set it to the default value. Save the changes and try to start the device again.

    You should also keep the laptop connected to the mains for about 24 hours and the laptop should be ON as well.
    This will help the CMOS battery.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L40 - killed the laptop BIOS update

    Recently I thought it would be better to download the latest drivers and upgrades for my Satellite pro L40 to keep up-to-date and partners the laptop that works smoothly. I couldn't have worse summer. Before I updated the new driver updates I thought it would be a good idea first update the Bios. So I downloaded the update of the Bios on the Toshiba site, unzipped the files and followed the online instructions for updating the BIOS. I double clicked on the BIOS file to run the update, the laptop says it was end the session, I waited and the Toshiba logo screen came. In the instructions, it says that I have to press F2 now and confirm that the date and time are correct. I should then press F9 to load all the default values and then press F10 to save and exit. At this point, the laptop must away to the loading screen, but... I got a black screen. IV turned off the computer and turn it back on, but still, I get a blank screen. The lights are on but know one's home.

    Could a mod/staff/Board Toshiba administrator please explain to me why I'm going to draw the consequences of my lack full on my face because I followed a form of direct teaching of personnel of Toshiba or... Please run me through the process of bring back my cell partners in life, before that I get my Crown snatched jewels. This isn't a laugh. An upgrade directly from the manufacturer is not intended to cause you problems!

    Please get back to me as soon as POSSIBLE. My first son moments of life (videos, photos) are on this laptop. That cannot be replaced. Please tell me that the laptop can be fixed...

    Hello Durks

    I'm really sorry to hear you I have this problem.
    To be honest, it is not easy to discuss about this because a lot of people on this forum with a similar or same problem reacts quite aggressive if they don t hear exactly the thing they want to hear.

    In any case, I just want to write my comment. Don t be worried about photos and other important data. You can remove the laptop HARD drive, put it in a small box of HDD SATA 2.5 and connect the HARD drive to the other PC / laptop as external device. You will have full access to all stored data. So you can do the backup.

    Update the BIOS.
    What to say at this point?
    I have checked the Toshiba download page and saw that the BIOS update is available for Windows XP Home edition and Vista pre-installed notebooks so I hope you ve chosen the right one. Anyway, it is not easy to fix screwed up in the BIOS. You hate me now, but I think you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Call them, explain the situation and ask what you can do about it.

    I hope you will fix this laptop soon.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite Pro C850 Wi - Fi lost after updating BIOS

    I looked online for answers, but the links I presented m with doesn't seem to work.

    I think I need to restore the bios to the previous version but can t find what to do.

    Will you please help if you can because it's ridiculous for Toshiba released a update that actually loses some of the functions to portable computers, especially the main function of a laptop that is portability.

    Thanks in advance

    What do you mean with lost?
    You can enable and disable the wireless network card?

  • Satellite Pro M70 overheating when playing games or watching DVDs

    Hello world

    my laptop (Satellite Pro M70) overheating regularly, especially when playing games or watching DVDs.
    Initially the cooling gets really hard, then the laptop would become hot, and shortly after that it stops completely. I ran it about 50% cpu power (DVD mode) for some time, which helps a little, but makes it much slower games.

    I do not know whence this problem, you have any ideas what I could do?

    Don't know if it's important, my graphics chip is the ATI Mobility Radeon X 700.

    Thanks in advance

    > My laptop (Satellite Pro M70) is overheating regularly himself, especially when playing games or watching DVDs.
    Still is it playing games and watching DVD movies to emphasize material for portable computers.
    Devices such as the CPU and GPU run with maximum efficiency and produce a lot of heat.
    This could lead to problems of overheating, especially if the cooling modules n t work properly.

    > I do not know whence this problem; you have any ideas what I could do?
    I think that the cooling modules don't cool the laptop properly because fans could not run with maximum efficiency because of the dust and debris.

    The same thing happened to me. I just cleaned the vents using a jet of compressed air. This jet of compressed air can be ordered from different computer resellers and it s a professional tool to perform this cleanup.

    I think you should test this.

    Good luck
