• 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.

• 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 - WLan Broadcom 802.11n very slow on Win 8

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite A660 PSAW3a 07r00r and my speedtest is usually 12 or 13 MB/s
  After you have installed Windows 8 64 bit, my speed went back to 2 or 3 MB/s.
  All my other computers are still at 12 or 13 MB/s.

  I tried the drivers 64-bit windows 7 as well but no luck.
  It seems to be a common theme when I googled.
  My broadcom driver version is 5.60.48.35.

  Someone at - it solution or something for me to try?

  Thank you, Will.

  Hello

  As I m not wrong the 802.11 standards (B/G/N) WLan wireless card BROADCOM BCM94313 supports.

  What Wlan standard are you using exactly?
  The Wlan standard can be changed in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab

  Given that the wireless network adapter supports 802.11 B / G and N, the 2.4 Ghz frequency is supported.
  This means that max 54 Mbps transfer rate is supported
  But it's just a theoretical value. You will never get to 54 megabits/s usual speed would be ~20Mbit/s = ~ 2.5Mbyte / s

  As you already get 2 or 3 MB/s, everythign seems to be OK

• Satellite A660-18 - WLan cannot be enabled - SOLUTION

  Awhile back I posted this message on my wireless LAN switching solution.

  I finally solved this annoying problem, my laptop is a Satellite A660-18

  Out of the box it just wouldn't connect to the wireless network. With the combination of keys Fn + F8 of the report: "Wireless communitcation is disabled, please enable the wireless communication switch.

  Of course there is no such switch, just the FN + F8 key combination. After having tried various forums and technical support, I solved the problem myself.

  * The solution is: *.

  Go to the folder on your c drive "program files\Toshiba\TBS. Then scroll down the list of program files and double-click the file named TBSWireless.exe and hey presto, wireless communication goes on (Amber Light lights on the lower right front of the computer). Now the combination of FN + F8 key it will turn on and.

  Bye to all

  But I just realized I forgot to mention, you just do this once after the FnF8 press key on functions correctly.

  I had to redo the procedure recently when I've updated my Bios system, the wireless Lan would pass on once again, regardless of how many times I pressed FnF8. But the routine above it sorted once more.

  So now, rather than to go through the routine of the entire folder/file, I just click right on the file of TBS and then selected send to the taskbar, so now if the problem persists, I just click the TBS icon in my taskbar.

  hope this helps,

• 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

  When I push the button to activate the wireless, the led does not illuminate and the FN + F8 key said that the wireless is not enabled.

  You have an idea about the problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I know that this question. the VM (virtual machine) is NOT compatible with the Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility.
  The virtual machine affect the functionality of the FN buttons.
  Therefore, delete this system in order to use the FN keys.
