  Hello!

  I'm a little ' have some problems with my laptop as mentioned earlier a Toshiba Satellite A660-134. FYI it's either, I returned a (any warranty). I wanted another, but always this model because its ok, he does his job, except some things that unfortunately I can't monitor. The first and also the other did the following:

  # Time to time, no reason what so ever, without abuse, multitasking, without forcing somehow, given bluescreen crashed unexpectedly. Just like that. Watching a movie, navigation, while leaving it open, and I found that it restarted. With this second after installing the antivirus I thought if it is stopped. But instead of 3-4 bluescreens someday I say 1-2 a week, but pretty beat also.
  # Also whithou one overheating, versatile or anything that would require a bit of effort to say, while I watch a film for example litle it sort of the stucks, freezes, stumbles... for performer like when its moved a bit abrupt and the thing protector hdd moves the head of hard disk drive... or as when with an old pc you listen to music and then when you , let's extract something, she begins to stop.

  Mainly, these are my concerns and any advice is welcome. For furter information, ask me. Thank you!

  It is not easy to give an exact explanation for all your problems, especially for blue screens. They can be caused by a software conflict or even by some malfunction of the equipment.
  Sorry, but it is not easy to say why this happen.

  Can you write down the error code and send it to us?

• Satellite A660 wireless problems

  Hello

  I just bought one of these 2 days. The first day wireless worked perfectly, but now it doesn't detect a network. When I do FN + F8 I get a message saying 'wireless communication is disabled. Please activate the switch of communication. " But it is on and seems to be running.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  What is the WLan card status in Device Manager?
  You have no yellow exclamation?

  Even if the yellow exclamation point is not visible in Device Manager, uninstall the WLan driver and reboot the device. Download the most recent update of the driver WLan from here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/ and reinstall.

  I hope this helps to resolve the issue.

• Satellite A660 Wireless does not work: how to turn on the wireless switch?

  Wireless to the new laptop just stopped working. When I press Fn + f8 it says: Wireless Communication is disabled. Please activate the Wireless Communication switch.

  I tried to disable and enable wireless, update (Realtek PCie FE family controller) and Broadcom 802.11n network adapter driver and load the default settings in the Bios but nothing has worked. The button on the top panel wireless is turned on and when I press the button, a window called support thoshiba button jump upward and said: the key has not been configured. But this happens to other laptops also (we have 8 portable type, even), it cannot use the wifi. What can I do now?

  Hello

  Please reinstall the Wlana driver and try again. (Do not to update to uninstall the old driver, restart the device and install the new drivers)
  In most cases these disorders Wlan is displayed if the WiFi driver does not work correctly.
  Given that all other laptops are ok, I think that it is a temporal matter in the registry or something like that

  PS: It is possible that the FN buttons do not work corectly. Therefore, you can reinstall the VAP (value added package) and support of card Flash Utility so in order to reconfigure the FN keys.

  Hello Ardo

  My advice to you is to contact Toshiba service as soon as possible. You bought the new product with a warranty and it should work. Describes problems sounds quite serious and you should not waste your time waiting for tips.

  Be honest, what can you do about it? Not much. You can try to reinstall OS, play with block power (start without battery, test with AC adapter only) remove the memory and check this yet, but in general, I put t think this will help.

  Contact the service and let them check your laptop.
  Do you know how to find the service provider authorized in your country?

• Satellite A660: Upgrade of the possible keyboard backlight?

  Hi guys,.

  I was thinking to replace my computer laptop keboard (satellite A660-18) with a keyboard backlight. Do you think it will be posible?
  I found on the internet for about £30-40, and it declares compatible with the Satellite A660.

  Thank you.

  You will find great shots of keyboard backlight and some information
  You should check if the motherboard supports an additional connector called JBLG and is located on the right side of the connector of the main keyboard.
  If it is available, then you can update the device with a supported keyboard backlight.

  Hope I could help a little

• Turn on wireless - Satellite A660 - 18

  Toshiba Satellite A660 - 18

  I used this laptop to connect to the internet via a wireless connection, since I bought the camera a few months ago 3.
  A little more than a week there is wireless and I have not been able to connect via a wireless connection, cable connection is correct.

  When I check to see what the problem is dialogue "wireless communication is disalbled - please activate the wireless communication switch. Another dialog box also appears when I trouble shoot elsewhere 'Turn on the use of the wireless switch on the front or side of the computer keys or function if it is available to turn on wireless on this computer'.

  I tried with F8 FN - but it says operate the wireless communication switch - as far as I know there is no manual switch for switching wireless power?

  Any help would be fantastic, as it has become a pain.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  The FN + F8 toggles between the Bluetooth, WiFi, and the WAN.
  Please do not forget that you selected WLan!
  In addition, the WLan led should blink ambler if WLan is enabled.

  If this is not possible, check if the WLan driver update could help solve this problem.

• Satellite A660 - Broadcom internal wireless adapter does not work

  Hi all

  My first post to this forum - I have a new laptop of Toshiba Satellite A660 - only had for about 4 weeks and it turns out be a disaster for me...

  Firstly - I spend weeks getting everything on and configured as I want - then the hard drive begins to die...

  I just returned it service center Toshiba and NOW wifi has stopped working...
  Internal broadcom wireless adapter doesn't work - but according to windows and built-in Diagnostics it works...

  HOWEVER - when I try to use wireless with the built-in adapter may not detect all wireless networks...

  I then plug in my adapter netgear usb wireless backup and I can pick up and connect both of my wireless home networks...
  I am moving abroad in a few weeks and need to know that my laptop will work/be reliable and not have any problems-if anyone can help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

• Satellite A660-14 days - slow internet wireless

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A660-14 days and if I plug a cable (UTP) the speed of the internet (Firefox, IE, FTP,...) are OK (1,1 MB/s).
  But if I use the wireless (Broadcom adapter) network connection, speed is 0.5 MB/s.

  All software and drivers are up to date. 'Power save mode' of the wireless adapter is set to "maximum performance".
  Firewall and antivirus have been disabled. WiFi signal strength was excellent.
  In addition, I have another laptop (not Toshiba) with the same software configuration (OS - Win 7, Antivirus,...) and it works fine with the same router.

  I wonder if there are known issues with the Broadcom wireless adapter or its drivers.

  Kind regards
  Robert

  > But Toshiba with its (802.11n) wireless network adapter working so slow (less than half of my old notebook speed). This is not normal. Everything is up-to-date and I also reinstall the NETWORK adapter driver.

  Go to-> WLan card device manager-> properties-> Advanced tab
  Here you can change the standard 802.11 G only!
  Disable in Win 7 the power management of the WLan energy saving options.
  This would improve performance

• Satellite A660-1FH fails to back off with Win7 64-bit

  Hi, a friend of mine asked me to watch his Satellite A660-1FH (PSAW3E). It is currently running windows 7 64 bit. There initially could not activate so I said I'd take a peek.

  It just would not start the power on, it would go beyond the initial screen then cursor would appear at the top on the left and flash a couple of times and freeze. I started and you press f2 to view the bios and the HARD drive was top of the list so I pressed f10 and saved and started. starts fine then he thought may have been an accident that has caused and continues in windows and update for him.
  then rebooted and froze! It seems when the restart is selected, it does not restart, everything freezes.

  I tried to use hirens resumed but it cannot see the HARD drive when it is started! weird. I got in the car and he ghosts for safety.

  Earlier I installed 8 company windows x 64, and it presents the same question. the drive works fine in other pc so you need another piece of equipment. I had already updated the BIOS under win7 and checked all drivers.

  I just got a strange win8 startup message saying that a boot or partition file was missing and could not start but him repressing the power button, it starts well.

  It does not always restart under a clean install of win8. I came here because I found a post with the same or similar issue. Any suggestions? Thanks Mark

  > it just would not start the power on, it would go beyond the initial screen then cursor appears at the top on the left and flash a couple of times and freeze

  The blinking cursor appears in the upper left corner indicates a malfunction or memory from HDD. I think you should check both sides.

  You said that the drive works fine in another PC. Do you hear the HARD drive?
  If so, then the HARD drive is OK and the RAM is probably the troublemaker.
