Connecting Satellite C660-258 to Smart TV

I want to be able to connect my laptop to my TV so that I can watch iplayer etc ., as I no longer have Sky, the laptop doesn't an HDMI port so what do I need to successfully connect?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Linda

The laptop seems to support the VGA out (RGB) port.
Its an analogue interface. HDMI port supports digital signals.
I assume the TV _does not_ support the VGA (RGB) IN port.
In such case you could try to connect the notebook to the TV using a VGA-to-HDMI converter (signal converter).
A simple VGA-HDMI cable adapter would not work it must use some kind of converter which is not very cheap device.

What cable do I need to connect Satellite C660-1K9 to TV device?

Hey guys!
I basically just need to know what kind of cable I would need to plug my laptop up to my television.
I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-1k9 laptop and my tv is make by Samsun.
Thanks!

According notebook specification your notebook has as video-out port on the left side placed 15 pin VGA port. Using this port notebook can send video signal to external device. Please note it is for video signal only.
It is not the best option to connect your notebook to the TV but there is no other option. Check please if your TV has such port on the back side.
If yes, you need VGA cable for connection.

Satellite C660-108 does not boot if USB Bluetooth dongle connected

Hiya,
I hope you would help me.
I am having an issue with my bluetooth dongle and satellite c660-108.
It works all perfectly. It connects devices via bluetooth and I can do everything I want.
But then when I am shutting down laptop and turning on again it won't go if the bluetooth dongle is still in the usb socket.
I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with black screen and blinking cursor in top left corner.
I have to turn it off, take out the bluetooth dongle and then turn it on again.
And then windows starts. After that I have to put in bluetooth dongle again if I want to work with it.
It is not a huge issue but it is a bit annoying when I have to take out the bluetooth and put it back again to get the windows started.
I am currently running under win 8.1 but had it already with win 8.
Anybody any ideas??

>I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with black screen and blinking cursor in top left corner.
Mostly the blinking cursor appears because the notebook cannot find an bootable device.
It looks like the unit cannot switch to the HDD while the USB dongle is connected.
I would recommend you checking the booting order in the BIOS.
Set the HDD at the first place and the USB as last possible booting device.
Save the changes and check if it helps.

Satellite C660-26G - unexpected error after removing USB stick

Hello all, i am in need of help here.
I have a Satellite C660-26G, 2 days old and a USB memory stick has been removed from the laptop while it was working, and I believe caused some sort of corruption.
The machine starts, passes the logo, and the windows loading bar in white comes along bottom of the screen. It freezes about 1/3rd of the way along, and then throws up an error screen stating the following:
"Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive while the drive is in use .... and so on ...."
It states to plug it back in and restart the machine.
I have tried this and always the same, i have even plugged it into both ports available, and to no avail, the same problem exists.
Now searching the forum I thought nothing more of restoring to the factory settings as there were no physical discs supplied with the new machine.
Using the reboot and F8 method results in no action and same error in the end.
Bottom of the error screen states;
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred.
Please help ???

Hi
Whether this issue has any relation to the incident with you USB stick or not (I don't think so since modern OS'es simply aren't so unstable) it still seems your unit is in need of professional attention.
This is not something that is possible to fix without further hardware diagnosis.
I would suggest to call your local support or talk to your dealer about how to get your unit to service.

Re: Satellite C660-115 Very strange Wifi problems!

I've been busy solving a wireless problem on a C660-115, still without success.
Satellite C660-115
Windows 7 - 64Bits
The case:
- Laptop is connected to the power supply: Wifi works fine, no problems
- Laptop disconnected from power supply: Wifi won't work, although there sometimes seems to be a connection with the access point/wifi router.
No internet/network communication
- Laptop connected to the power supply --> wifi works, unplugging the power supply --> after a 1/2 minute or so, no internet connection...
I tried to find a new driver, but we already use the latest version.
Then i switched off the "This computer may switch of this device to save energy" function, without succes.
Ideas anyone?

I had same problem with C660 running windows 7 losing internet access but not network connection whilst using battery power, but no problems when connected to mains power.
Solution; Change power plan to high performance. I found this sovlved the problem instantly.

Satellite C660-13R - Wireless and Ethernet do not work after format

Hello there,
I just formatted my laptop and I only get Internet connection with a usb wireless antenna...
Neither ethernet, nor wireless seem to work. Before the format it worked fine.
Here is the product
http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-c660-13r/
Please help with a solution...
Should I consider death of the adapter and stop trying?

Ok you have formatted your laptop but we don't know what have you installed and which OS version do you use.
As I can see in notebook specification your notebook was delivered with preinstalled Windows 7. This original version (recovery image) contains all necessary drivers and every hardware component is installed and configured properly so everything should work well.
It is very important to know what have you installed and what is teh status of communication devices like LAN and WLAN cards. If both devices are installed properly LAN should work without any limitation but WLAN card must be enabled and I don't see the reason why you should not be able to connect your machine using WLAN connection.
If possible post some detailed info about preinstalled OS version and hardware status.

Satellite C660 - Intermittent boot failure

For the past month my Satellite C660 intermittently refuses to boot. Frequency of failure appears to be increasing.
The drive light comes on, the fan runs for 5 seconds (sometimes 15seconds with a speed increase at the end) and then the machine shuts down.
No bios display.
This happens with battery only, PSU only or both connected. With HDD in or out, with or without ram.
Bios has been reset and updated and the bios battery replaced.
No loose connections internally.
PSU produces 19.3V DC.
No obvious pattern as to when it will boot, but when it does W7 runs fine.
Would be grateful for any input.

As a corollary, the machine will reboot OK if the power is removed for 2-3 minutes.
That applies if it has been running from the battery or the psu.
It seems that it is retaining the 'shut down' state while there is power available either via the battery or the psu.
It's liveable with, but it would be good to know just why it's happening or if there's a better solution than pulling the battery/switching off the psu's supply.

Satellite C660 - Re-installed WLAN driver not working

Hi
I cleared a lot of unused programs from a Toshiba Satellite C660-1JH, and accidently removed the Realtek WLAN Driver.
The laptop obviously now has no internal wireless connection. When I realised I managed to find the driver online, successfully downloaded and installed it. I restarted the computer in order for the changes to take affect but nothing happened.
I removed the driver and all associated files and then took it from another site to check that there wasn't anything wrong with the contents of the file. I got exactly the same result twice more. I've been checking the uninstall program list each time to make sure the driver does exist.
My question is does anyone know if there's something else I need to do after installing the WLAN driver to enable it to operate, or if there's another decent internal wireless adaptor I can download from the web that works with this model.
Apologies for my vague I.T knowledge, hope somebody can help!
Thanks

On this virtual way it is not easy to say what is wrong there.
Fact is that your notebook has Realtek RTL8188CE WLAN card inside.
Dont search the driver Googling around. Right driver you can download from Toshiba WLAN portal http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
Install it, check status in device manager, try to enable WLAN card using FN key combination and send some feedback.
Driver offered on WLAN portal is the same that you got with original preinstalled recovery image (WIN7 64BIT HOME PREMIUM).

Satellite C660-1CN - touchpad do not start with Windows

Hi,
I have problem with Toshiba Satellite C660-1CN PSC0QE.
Touchpad don't start with Windows 7 Home Premium.
All drivers are updated.
Bios - lastest.
After log on I need to click *twice* "FN+F9" and after this is OK until next reboot.
I tried:
several Synaptics drivers - no change.
reinstall Windows - no change.
Windows XP mini from Hiren - no working.
BIOS defaults - no change
After I installed "toshiba value added package" I can't turn on touchpad at all.

Hi
Did you notice a difference while external USB mouse is connected or disconnected?
The point is that you can disable the touchpad automatically when external USB pointing device (mouse) is connected to the notebook.
This option can be found in +Control panel -> mouse+
In +control panel -> mouse -> last tab (Device settings)+ you can find all other options related to touchpad

Wifi drivers not found - Toshiba satellite c660 PSC1LE - windows 7 64Bit

Hi,
I'm looking for the wifi drivers for my Toshiba satellite c660 PSC1LE laptop.
Already tried this search: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
and 0 resaults...
my newly installed windows 7 home premium 64Bit doesn't identify any wifi device, and after installing a driver from a different source my computer gets stuck while trying to connect to a network.
Do you have any idea what can I do? How to get my internet running?
I really need some help...
Thanks!

thank god!
after a weak struggling with it, I finally managed to get it to work...

If you are having the same problem, find your laptop's specifications, find your wifi adapter, search for the drivers for it.
sorry guys, and thanks!
I saw there were some questions regarding the same problem but no answers.
I hope this will help people.

Satellite C660 - WLAN disconnects on battery power supply

HI
I have a new Satellite C660 which is a great wee machine BUT every time I disconnect the power cable the wireless connection looses the internet connection. Wireless is fine and all settings accurate. I have checked the amended the power settings and they are set to be ok whether on battery or power.
But still I cannot disconnect the power cable without losing the warless connection. The modem is still on and functioning and even more strongly I can access other peoples wireless connections whilst being off line.
Please any ideas?
Thanks

When you use notebook on battery power supply and use FN+F8 can you enable and disable WLAN module properly?
Ave you checked WLAN settings in device manager properties (click here )?

Satellite C660 Wireless stopped since BIOS 1.4 Update

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a new problem with my Laptop.
I have a Satellite C660, and when it was new had some issues with the Wireless, and it not working when disconnect from the Mains. This was resolved by downloading the latest drivers from the REALTEK Website, and all has been perfect since until a couple of days ago.
The TOSHIBA Bullettin Board advised of some critical updates, and I followed the steps given. This I believe has updated the BIOS to version 1.4
Since then, I cannot get WIRELESS to work at all. It says it's enabled, I've reinstalled the latest drivers, but to no avail. It simply says there's no WIRELESS CONNECTIONS AVAILILABLE. I've used another laptop and confirmed the wireless network is fine (indeed I can pickup many other in the area with my old laptop).
Having done all the tests, I cannot get this working at all.
Can anyone advise if it's a problem with the BIOS Update, or if there is any simple way of testing if it's simply a hardware fault. The Laptop is only a few months old, so any advise most welcome.
Thanks in advance
Stuart

Ok, so today I got a phone call from the company who performs repairs on Toshiba's behalf. They told me that it is not a hardware problem. They removed the wireless card, put it into another machine, and it is working without any problems. They said there must be some software issue and advised me to restore the machine to its original factory state. I really hope this solves the problem, otherwise I'll be left with a brand new laptop with no wi-fi connectivity. :/
P.S. Has anyone any ideas what might be causing this problem? All the drivers, bios etc. are up to date, but some software appears to be disabling, or blocking, wi-fi access. Ethernet connection is fine. I have both avast anti-virus and zonealarm installed. Could either of these programs block wi-fi access but not a LAN access via an ethernet cable?
I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks,
Martin

Battery is not charging on Satellite C660-108

I've just bought a new Satellite C660-108 as a Christmas present. The laptop worked fine for a while but then I noticed that the Windows 7 power icon stated that the battery wasn't charging (even though it was correctly inserted, both sliders were in the correct position, the power cable was plugged in and switched on). Sure enough when the battery ran down the computer died.
Current situation is that the computer will run fine with the power cable if the (now dead) battery is removed but it won't switch on with the battery inserted (whether the power cable is plugged in or not).
Is this a fault with the battery or the laptop?

Hi,
Follow Silas's advice. I have posted battery charge issue from toshiba technical support knowledge base
If you experience difficulty in charging the battery, or if the battery capacity has decreased over time, the following procedure might re-condition the battery:
Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and turn it on. Let the computer run under battery power until the computer turns off, indicating that the battery is fully discharged.
Remove the battery pack.
Using a soft cloth, wipe off the battery packs connectors and the AC adapters connectors.
Re-insert the battery pack.
Plug the computer into the AC adapter and check the wall outlet, making sure the connection is firm.
With the PC turned off, let the battery charge until the battery status light or icon glows green.
Unplug the AC adapter.
Remove the battery.
Wait 30 seconds and re-insert the battery.
Plug the AC adapter back in.
Let the battery recharge until the battery status light turns green or the icon displays 100%.

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

Absolutely!
Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
    Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
    Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
    School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
    Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
    Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
    Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
    Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.
