• Satellite A660 - 13p - can't turn ON the WiFi

  Hey,.

  I bought my laptop a few months ago, but I noticed the problem recently, when I tried to connect to internet wireless for the first time (until now I used connect the cable to the House).

  When I try to turn it on WE the Wi - Fi by pressing the function key (second near the button to turn on / off PC), it fades just 2 seconds then it shines again but nothing happens (nothing changes on indicators before or in the system). Note - I also noticed now that the other function buttons also do not work, exepct the Volume +/-.

  I've als tried to trun on combo of Fn + F8, but no matter how many times I press it - nothing changes. Note: all other Fn keys work.

  Then finally, I was looking for a way to activate it in the system, but I always get to the point when they ask to me "to activate THE wireless network, use before side switch your PC or if it's possible, function keys. And that's the exact message I get when I am trying to solve the problem through Windows. And when I go into the properties of the (Broadcom 802.11n) wireless card everything seems fine.

  So my question is - if the problem is in the buttons function sortware/material/settings? or it's something with the wireless card? or maybe something else?
  I have trieid to redefine the function with Toshiba Software keys help, but I don't understand how to do it-Description / Option / Patn / button name -?

  Thanks in advance for any help
  All the best,

• Trouble with a Satellite A660 wireless.

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A660.

  I can not connect to wireless internet. The wireless network is on and it is able to pick up wireless networks. I know that I have the right password (I also tried with unsecured networks) The Wireless tries to connect - request the password - and then says 'Unable to connect to the network' and the bar "troubleshooting."

  So far I have tried:
  -Connect to different networks, including friends, school and not protected with the same results.
  -Uninstall and reinstall the Belkin Wireless driver (and making sure that I have the most updated version), restart the computer each time.
  -Restart the router
  -ip renew and refresh

  All the time, it's the same problem. It does not recognize when an incorrect password has been entered, just somehow, it is impossible to make this final connection.

  However, there is also no problem to connect directly to the router with an Ethernet connection.

  All other computers in the House - one of them is a Toshiba Qosmio are works well and can connect. I had endeavoured to put the laptop up to similar parameters like the Qosmio, but also nothing helped.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Some additional software is preinstalled on your laptop that can be responsible for this? Something like Zonealarm.

• Re: Satellite A660 turns off

  Hello

  In June last year, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A660, when I took out of the House and the box, he doesn't work, turn on, and then he clicks.

  I got the next day traded with another sealed unit. While in the store of the computer, I demand to see work before I take it home. Open the box starts, it worked. Last month he began to go off while in the workplace, I linked to an overheating (it heats up a lot on day 1) I bought a laptop cooler, run on USB with 200 mm cooling fan. No difference, it is capricious, some days work all day another time just clicks off and I want to never start.

  Today I'm not if happy because I can not start my work is always on it. What is my solution?

  I am a computer professional and is my diagnosis for this laptop: it runs too hot and the breakdowns are inevitable in the first six to 12 months, depends on its daily use (hours / day).

  In my opinion:

  (A) I don't want to fix it (it is still under warranty) I need a replacement because it is a manufacturing defect.

  (B) If this model has design problems especially overheating then it should be exchanged with a reliable model equivalent.

  see you soon,

  Hi mate

  (A) I don't want to fix it (it is still under warranty) I need a replacement because it is a manufacturing defect.

  I think you need to check with your dealer to laptop.
  To my knowledge the certified partner Toshiba is able to repair and fix the laptop, but you will not get a refund of ASP.
  If the laptop is under warranty, your laptop will be corrected for free.

  (> B) If this model has design problems especially overheating then it should be replaced with equivalent reliable model.

  Don t think that there could be a problem of design one of my friends has a series, and it works properly.
  First of all, you should check if you BIOS update could improve the functionality of the laptop.
  You should also check if the dust and debris does not prevent cooling modules work correctly. In my case, my old laptop didn't work correctly because of the dust.
  I used to delete this jet of compressed air and it worked.

  Finally, I must say that it shouldn't be necessary to use additional cooling pads in order to cool the laptop. If portable s temperature is too high, then it must be something wrong. If above advice doesn't help, then I would say that the material could be affected and in this case, the technician must verify that

• Satellite A660 - optical driver turns off when burning DVD

  I have a problem with the optical drive of energy saving options that disables the drive while burning.

  I tried all the suggestions mentioned here [http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Satellite-Laptops-A-Series/Optical-drive-automatically-turns-off-due-to-power-saver/td-p/223654], but it does not help.

  I start at the burn in Ashampoo Burning Studio free, and he seems to be good until the end. When it starts the process of lead-out the popup of the optical signals Drive Power drive is turned off. It's funny because it is still running at the speed of combustion and it will not stop. The reader becomes unresponsive, even I can't the DVD out. Even, that it disappears from the list of devices.

  The only way I thought so far to stop the car and release the DVD is in the shutdown/Hibernate the computer.

  Once the dive starts working again the STRANGE Fn-tab functionality started working and I can turn it on/Off/ejection at will.

  All the burned DVD - s are not valid, and so far I have not managed to burn a single functional DVD.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 - PSAW3E with Win7 Enterprise 64-bit.

  Is there a way to fix this? Remove the optical drive power management?

  Hello

  To be honest I have never heard of this issue, but it appears that the optical drive power management is part of the power of Toshiba configuration utility.
  Part of the Toshiba value added package configuration done Toshiba power utility.

  What you can try, for testing purposes, to remove the Toshiba added value of the system package, restart your computer and try to burn DVDs again to see if the same problem will occur again.

  Toshiba value added package contains several tools such as utility cards flash FN so after his withdrawal, you will not be able to use the FN keys. In any case, after that trial, you can download and install Toshiba value added package again.

  I mean, I know what kind of conflict is there, but maybe you should consider it.

• Satellite A660 will not start again until I turn safe mode

  Just buy the toshiba Satellite A660: I tell the story to compensate closely in my answer, I hope...

  I just buy new, run the Setup for first use. When its up and running only in that day, that I noticed it start to hang up when I plugged the drive external hard for some Installer (adobe lightroom).

  Its still very well, but when I disable it, it does not start again until I have run in safe mode so I can save some files and rerun recovery.

  This time on 64-bit. With its completion of its process, this works well for a few hours.
  He fell faster now, maybe because its on 64-bit? (any recommendation if its 32 or 64 bit) specifications: i5, 4ram, 1 g ddcatd graphics, family win7 premium,...

  Now when I turn it off it never early return time windows say... Startup Repair. ..
  I have let it run from this morning till now they can't always find what's the problem (I'm refernce the loptop).

  So no idea about whats goin?

  > He fell faster now, maybe because its on 64-bit? (any recommendation if its 32 or 64 bit) specifications: i5, 4ram, 1 g ddcatd graphics, family win7 premium,...

  64-bit operating system is better if your computer supports 4 GB or more of RAM.
  Why? Because 32-bit Win recognizes max 3.2 GB, even if more RAM is available.
  It's limitation of 32-bit; regardless of what OS it is; Linux, Win XP, Vista, Win7, etc.
  This is the reason why the 64 bit OS are so popular in the last time

  With regard to the issue of the BONE;
  I recommend that you run a disk recovery again... This means that you need to reinstall the OS usign the option recovery Toshiba;
  During the turning on the laptop press F8, choose fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery

• 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

• Re: Can't turn off wireless on my Satellite L500-21dts

  I have problem with wireless that is I can t turn off. I have windows 7 and I installed the drivers on the site for this series but can t always turns off Wireless using FN + F8.
  My computer laptop doesn t have the manual button to turn off wireless! Really I put t know who can support me.

  I ve asked the dealer and maintenance team, but they can t do anything! There is no online support for the brand as Toshiba who s shocked me!
  So I'm still waiting to solve this problem, and I guess there is more customers like me having the same problem and we need the real solution!

  Stand by. Take it easy.

  At first, I must say that you can call Toshiba hotline if you have any problems and ask for help. If you visit Toshiba support page for your country, you will find this number, so please don't write things on the media. If you need you can find it.

  I can bet that you didn't even check the Toshiba support page to see if you can find the number of the line.
  Your dealer is typical evidence that they don t have any idea of product they sold.
  At least, I assume that you bought for laptop computer without an operating system preinstalled. Can you confirm this?

  Back to your problem:
  All Toshiba stuff must be preinstalled in the order of specific facilities. I assume that you have installed all the drivers, tools and utilities, according to the order on the download page.
  You say that you cannot enable/disable WLAN using FN + F8. Does that mean exactly?
  This means you cannot use the combination of keys FN + F8 only or you cannot use FN (Flash cards) at all?

  Sorry my friend but to reasonable discussion, it is important to have reasonable problem description. What you wrote, it's two sentences describing problem and two sentences complain Toshiba support.

  This is the procedure to turn on the wireless network, but it does not work. Does anyone have the same problem?

• Satellite A660 3rd party WLAN does not work

  Hello

  I had a problem with my WLAN adapter so I used to replace.
  Currently, I have installed card Broadcom Dell Wireless 1397.
  It has been defined by Device Manager and drivers have been installed.
  But it is impossible to turn on the WLAN.
  When I click the buttons activate WLAN, it just back to the OFF position.
  I also use Windows 10.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I own Satellite A660 - 16 M. Initially, it was equipped with Broadcom BCM4318 WLAN card. I decided to replace it with an Intel Centrino N-6230 dual band with 3.1 Bluetooth card. Replacement process was fairly easy, the problem was to make the new card working group. I use Windows 10 as an upgrade to Windows 7 Home. As you can imagine that the utility flash cards stopped working after the upgrade of the system, but Windows 10 has managed to cope with BCM4318 since the original drivers and Windows 7 registry entries have been always working in the background. The WLAN button above the keyboard worked, was so orange the LED in the front of the laptop.

  Situation changed completely with the new Intel Centrino 6230 N WLAN card. Despite he properly recognized by device with all the necessary drivers automatically responsible manager, I was unable to have the WLAN button and the LED orange work which is to turn on the radio (the card WLAN itself, its possibilities of wifi). The weird part is that the Bluetooth worked without any problems.

  The solution was to put a small piece of electrical tape on the 20 PIN of the new WLAN card to prevent WLAN DISABLE State presented to the motherboard. So RADIO WLAN is always on, so Windows 10 own wifi tools were able to switch on the WIFI network and... I see now all (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) wireless networks. Of course the WLAN button and the orange LED still haven't work (it seems that it is somehow hardcoded to support only the original BCM4318) but I don't love about it. The most important is that I'm now a lot more capable wireless network inside my laptop card.

  I hope that the solution above works in your case, 8stack. Watch the attached files to see what she looked like, as in my case.
