• Upgrade Win 8 to Satellite A660 - 18 PSAW3E Wizard

  I have a Satellite A660-18, part No. PSAW3E which, according to the instructions on the site of Toshiba UK, I've upgraded to Windows 8.

  Windows 8 tells me that I need to re-installToshiba Disc Creator and according to the website of UK from Toshiba, that I should be able to do this, (and whatever it takes), thanks to the Toshiba Upgrade Wizard.

  So I follow the link on the site of the United Kingdom, and my Satellite A660-18 is not listed. Support page which I am bound to the United States seems to be only for drivers and does not in any case seem to list the upgrade wizard.

  I tried a search on the US site and found and installed the upgrade wizard, but when I ran I got a message "this upgrade wizard does not support your region."

  Can someone help me with this?

  I have updated from other computers, (plu sort of it), without any problem whatsoever. but this one has pulling me my hair out.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi mate,

  The upgrade of Windows 8 Wizard is available only for supported laptops Windows 8 models.

  Your laptop does not seem to be earning 8 supported because it does not appear on this page from Toshiba:
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/JSP/checkWindows8Compatible.do?service=EU

  Plus I found a Toshiba AU on the driver Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3E UE page

  So download this message because you are using the wizard, which is not released from this unit.

• Can I install Win 8 on Satellite A660?

  I tried to get a post in response to my question.
  I wasn't able to do.

  Please forgive me if its duplicate.

  You can install windows 8 on an A660? is there an incompatibility in the car?

  Please share any food in return, you may have.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First of all if you want to get more information on 8 to win, I recommend to read the discussions here in the forum category win 8.

  Secondly:; Yes, you can install the 8 to win on the A660.
  Here you will find the Win 8 system requirements:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/system-requirements

  As you can see, your A660 is good enough to win 8.

  > is there a mismatch in car?
  It is another question. Check this doc from Toshiba:
  _Toshiba upgrade wizard for Windows 8 - calendar of releases and support Models_
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2A03EU0000R04.htm

  If your model is listed, fine win 8 drivers.

• Satellite A660: After upgrade to Win 8.1 BSOD is displayed using the keyboard

  Dynabook i7 3D laptop A660.

  OK; so I updated my i7 3D Dynabook to form 8.1 Windows (x 64) Windows 7 (x 64), and now the laptop restarts everytime I start to touch the keyboard.

  Other wise works perfectly.

  It took me two hundred hours to understand that I was typing on web sites usually when this re-boot occurs. And I could not remember how or why the computer restarted.

  When I press the numeric keypad 'more' sign, I get the BSoD immediately. But there are a few presses of the numbers on the keyboard so he can do the same thing.

  I.E.
  If I press 1, 2, 3, its ok.
  But
  If I press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, the laptop gets a BSoD and restarts.

  I also installed automatic software (mouse) for a Microsoft mouse, that I was going to use. and I deleted in the "System Properties" after the problem has arisen; but there is no change.

  Whenever I tap on the number pad (especially the plus sign), the PS stops with a blue screen of death BSoD.

  Any ideas?

  Hi Roger,
  My knowledge the 8.1 Windows isn't supported by Satellite A660 because there is no driver Windows 8.1 special to this series of portable, but even if these drivers have not been released, is not a big problem to install and run the Windows 8.1 on this unit.

  I m wondering how you installed the 8.1 to win on this laptop?
  You upgrade Windows 7 to 8.1 Win or were you running a fresh install of Win 8.1?

  Here's a nice page of Microsoft providing some FAQ about update for Windows 8.1
  [Windows 8.1 update: FAQ | http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/upgrade-to-windows-8]

  In case you have done an UPGRADE to 8.1 Win, you can use Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to check if your programs and devices are compatible with Windows 8.1.

  I would be also interesting to know if the same BSOD would appear if external keyboard would be connected to the laptop.
  When using the external keyboard would cause NOT of BSOD, I guess internal keyboard is faulty and could be the troublemaker.

• Satellite A660 - Win 8.1 power settings option not available

  Hello

  I upgraded my Toshiba (A660) to 8.1 64 x. (clean install)

  All if works well except idle protected function, which seem to have disappeared of power options.
  In my view, that a driver is required. (I have installed a single Toshiba driver)

  They don't seem to have VAP more.

  Can someone tell me what is the driver I need to install for this problem?

  Thank you.

  > All works well except idle protected function, which seem to have disappeared of power options.
  What exactly is the function of inactive variation? Display backlight control?

  Toshiba not stand in my knowledge of Windows on the Satellite A660 8.1 and therefore you would not find drivers Windows 8.1 for this series.

  If you want to install the utilities and tools Toshiba Windows 8.1, you will need to seek such software in your own hand. But I'm not quite sure if software published for other portable Toshiba would be compatible with the A660 m model.

  However, the fact is that there is no such thing as the package of added value to win 8.1.
  This was the case with Vista or Win 7, but it is not available for Windows 8.1.
  The VAP has been replaced by the system of Toshiba driver.

• 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 A660/07U - problem install the nVidia for Win 7 64 bit driver

  A660/07U Windows 7 64 bit

  At first, I need to install this driver because apparently it will solve a problem with the current driver that is causing the computer freezes when booting with an external monitor as main display.

  I downloaded the Setup file of driver from the Toshiba web site and it's extraction ok but when I run the program it just then immediately quits without installing drivers.

  The Device Manager in windows seems not help either, because when I point to the extracted files it tells me that I already have the drivers, even if my current version of the driver is a lower number than the one downloaded.

  Restart made no difference.

  Any ideas/suggestions?

  Thanks in advance

• Re: Satellite A660 - 12 p - can't find the right poster driver for Win XP

  Hey everyone, I need help with this one:

  I have a dual boot Win7 (x 64) / XP (x 86) on my laptop, but I can't find the right poster drivers for compatible video controller VGA on XP.

  Anyone know where I can find them?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite A660 laptop - 12 p belongs to the PSAW3E series and it was equipped with the chip to display NVIDIA GeForce GT330M.

  You can try to check the drivers provided by pages:
  -laptopvideo2go.com
  -omegadrivers.net

  But in both cases, the use if these drivers are at your own risk since these drivers don t contain overheating protection!

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  FibZ

  I don't think it's a general or common problem. I have the Satellite P500 with the NVIDIA card inside. Pre-installed driver is Toshiba 8.16.11.8829 driver version, and I have never notice one problem with display or graphics in general.

  I watch blu - ray movies, very often HD trailers on YouTube, play games (for the time Medal of honor, Black Ops) and everything works perfectly.

  What NVIDIA card is in your laptop and what display driver is installed?

• Satellite A660 Win7 - power management system action center is missing driver

  I replaced the battery on my laptop Toshiba A660-15J and a few months, is back with the battery high capacity and now Action Center 7 win keeps popping up with the message that I need to download and install the missing driver for power management system.

  The power supply has been replaced not at all, nothing has changed, except for the battery.

  Costs of light on the functions of the laptop, as it did before the battery change.
  It turns on and is red and after a few hours, it becomes white and the battery level shows that it is 100%

  The problem is that this center of windows 7 says that missing one driver ACER? -> WTF?

  The link to download it from DOES NOT

  It seems odd that the link that windows provides its on a site of acer, but since part´s manufacturers other´s manufacturers use it does not at all surprise me.

  I want just the clarification and confirmation of what I have to do here, and why to toshiba Service does not show this update?

  I read that the BIOS update can fix this, however there is NO bios update for my laptop.
  I have also contacted MICRO$ OFT but I'm still waiting for a response from them.

  I also read other messages on various toshiba forums that relate to this same problem, but they used to say that the model is not supported by toshiba in this country...

  I clicked on the link on this forum directly on the site of Toshiba Australia, so please do not tell me that my model is not supported on this forum of Toshiba Europe!

  The exact message:
  Download and install the driver for your power management system
  Your power management system is missing a driver.
  To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  Press or click on to download the driver of the A + c + e + r society Web site
  Download and extract the driver files
  Type and click on save or save as, and then save the file to your desktop. If you can t choose where to save the file, you will need to find and copy it to your desktop. When you download files, most of the web browsers save them in the folder to download on your computer.

  > I replaced the battery on my laptop Toshiba A660-15J and a few months, is back with the battery high capacity and now Action Center 7 win keeps popping up with the message that I need to download and install the missing driver for power management system.

  Maybe that's the problem. The new battery is fully compatible?
  Satellite A660/15J is an Australian mobile phone model.
  Here, I found some accessories for this model:

• Satellite A660 HDD failure

  Hi all
  I've had the laptop for someone to look at.
  The laptop model is TOSHIBA SATELLITE A660, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
  This is not my laptop, I can't tell if the person has been using some software dengerous like spyware or any other, but I suppose that it is very likely.

  + WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? +
  There is a problem with the HARD disk, a message all the time, SMART 'failure predicted on hard drive '. PC is running, but slow, and not always to start Windows. Has more no guarantee on the computer, the store where it was purchased no longer exists. I don't have a recovery CD and Windows is stored in the recovery partition.
  The owner of the PC complained of strange noises from PC for a while, but I didn't hear myself.

  + WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR? +
  I searched the forums for an answer, but I have not found.
  I tried to look at the HARD drive, it is stable, not loose and seems fixed correctly.
  First thing I tried was the disk check, but it wasn't even to start. When I restarted the PC once I gave a chkdsk command, there was a black screen with info, it will start the process in 10,9,8... 1 sec, he stuck to 1 sec and never begun the process. After some time I left he thinks, PC off by itself (AC adapter / CC was pulged in all time).
  I tried to find the computer, I brought to the factory settings, but it did not help. The problem is always present and laptop is terribly slow. BTW, I had to try twice, once there was an error: error F3-FFCC-0006, I discovered, that the error appears when the AC adapter / CC was missing, but it is pluged in all the time.
  I brought the BIOS to its factory settings, which is probably not relevant.

  + WHAT I WANT TO KNOW? +
  Is there a possible way to repair the HARD drive?
  OK, I agree that I probably need to buy a new HARD drive, there is only one thing I would like to know. How can I get WIN7 installed without the CD? I know that I have the CD key and license, but how do I get the CD? I do purchuase CD from Microsoft? Purchuased of TOSHIBA recovery CD solve my problem?

  Thanks for any help.
  I will appreciate it asap, cause this laptop is required by the owner of that an option to send the laptop to the service and wait weeks for some 'help' is not an option.

  > Is there a way to repair the HARD drive?

  No, what you can do is to repair / fix the bad sectors on the HARD drive, but if there is a physical problem, it will not help

  > How can I get WIN7 installed without the CD? I know that I have the CD key and license, but how do I get the CD?

  The key belongs to the image of Toshiba that I n t think that it will work to activate the system installed using MS Win 7 disc
  However, you can download Windows 7 image of page Microsoft (google for it)
  Then you can burn the image to disk using Nero or other burning application supporting iso burning and could use this disc to install Windows 7

  Otherwise, you can order the Toshiba recover drive here:

• Satellite A660 Factory Restore problems

  I have a Satellite A660 Ref. PSAW3A-14V062 delivered pre-installed with Win 7 not provided, but a hidden partition with disk recovery files.

  Decided to do a restore to factory from scratch but ends of disk errors. Removed the HD and connected to another computer.

  Using Acronis Disk Director, I copied the hidden partition (HDDRECOVERY) to another drive and then formatted the drive and copied the partition hidden in it and reinstalled to the laptop.
  Downloaded an ISO image and tried to install it from DVD but received the message that windows cannot be installed on the HARD disk that the drive is about to fail.

  Bought new HARD drive and copied the partition hidden for her.
  I then tried to install from the DVD, but kept getting errors about unable to find files, after ISO more several downloads and burn 5 different DVD the furthest I got was the screen where it is "files", this remains at 0% and nothing else.

  I then tried a factory restore using the "hold 0 during startup", but when I took out the key pressed 0 when the Toshiba start screen showed that nothing happened.

  There was a small Partition 'System' on the original HARD drive I have has not copied. I have a few questions.

  (1) the "System" partition did not the files needed to start the factory restore and if so is there anywhere I can download these files?

  (2) probably a topic for another thread, but no clue as to why I have so many problems with ISO files.

  Cheers and sorry for the long-winded explanation.

  The installation of any recovery is quite complicated. It is designed to avoid a kind of manipulation so original recovery image can be installed either using recovery DVDs or HARD disk recovery facility which must be created with Toshiba recovery disc creator tool.

  To be honest, the whole story is complicated enough, but what confuses me, is
  > Decided to do a restore to factory from scratch but ends of disk errors
  If I understand you right, you have created a drive recovery, right? What exactly happens?
  You can use this drive with new HARD drive?

  This method with files recovery to cope with the new HARD drive does not work. You will not be able to access and begin HARD recovery disk image installation.

  If you have a new HDD only how to install the original Toshiba recovery image is to use the recovery DVD disc.
