Satellite A660/07R - what is meant to come in the box?

Purchased a A66/07R today but it appears that I was given display stock. How do I confirm if everything is in the box? I was expecting software or at least a recovery disc.

Hi buddy,
Everything what you get with the notebook is mentioned in user manual.
Have you checked this?
And as Dr.Lamp wrote, recovery disk is not supplied with notebook. You have to create the recovery disk yourself with preinstalled recovery media creator tool.
I have Satellite A660 in front of me and after the first start I got the following message regarding recovery disk creator:

Display showing black lines

My ipod display is showing black lines. What should i do?

Have you worked through the basic 5 R's of troubleshooting yet? If not that would be a good place to start as they can help rule out a software issue.

Otherwise, if none of those work, we know the issue is hardware related. The LCD is probably damaged and in need or a replacement. You can have your iPod serviced or replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

Has anyone had a problem with a late 2009 27 inch iMac display showing vertical lines?

Can only display and work the computer in safe mode.
When performing a regular boot, the lines appear at the Apple logo and then the screen goes blank and stays blank.
Problem first started couple of weeks ago with the computer/display freezing with "confetti-like" marks all over the screen when returning from screen saver power save mode.
I'd venture to guess it's a graphics card issue. Any input would be appreciated.

Hi MateoL, sorry for bothering you with this old problem you had, but I have the same iMac, and I think the exact same issue. I wanted to ask you whether you managed to solve this issue? What was the cause of it? I am trying to figure what would be the best thing to do.
Like you, after some tests/repairs my screen went back to normal, but soon enough it went back to this state. How about you?
Thanks a lot!

Re: Satellite P300-156 - grainy display and vertical lines on it

Hi,
everytime I 1st start up the machine the display looks grainy and with 1 green line vertically down the right hand-side of the LCD.
When Vista completes start-up (with my white desktop background), there is lots of pink coluring on icon, when I press "start" and it displays the programs etc, the abckground is all pink! Also the pop-up web cam settings/opener is displaying the same.
To get rid off this, I restart the machine and all if fine. This is the only way to rectify.
Over the last week I have again tried to look at the problem...
I have changed the LCD, Harddrive (upgraded to 320GB), and updated the BIOS with latest version of this site. Now, it wil still do the same, but after 30 seconds (or so) it automatically sorts itself out.
I really want this sorted, has anyone got any ideas???
Thanks in advance!

Yes, when I changed over the screens, the same problem happens, but the odd things I that previously it would not automatically sort itself out, I had to restart the machine and then it would be fine (all the time, until the next day). NOW, since I again done a complete install (via cd ordered from Toshiba), and installed updates via TEMPRO including the BIOS, it seem to correct itself after approx 1 Min???
I also took out the memory and put back in, checked screen cables by pulling out and re-connecting.
I will try this eve on an external screen (my LCD TV via HDMI) and see what happens...
Thanks for your reply to my headache

Satellite A660-12E - black display after 8GB RAM upgrade

Hello,
I want to upgrade my laptop from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM, but wether win7 64-bit nor a boot cd starts.
I see the Toshiba display and can get into Bios, which shows me 8GB RAM, but then comes only a black display with a cursor blinking...
Bios is updatet.
RAM chips are:
Power Ram
DDR3-1066 4GB
204pin,ds, so-dimm CL 7-7-7, PC8500(256x8)
Can you help me please?

Hello
> Power Ram
DDR3-1066 4GB
204pin,ds, so-dimm CL 7-7-7, PC8500(256x8)
Is PowerRam the brand of these RAM modules?
If yes I never heard about this brand I dont think its high quality module
Can you test it with high quality modules from Kingston? Or from an authorized service provider they have pretested modules?

Display showing grid lines and craziness.

How can I find out what is causing this issue?
From what I've read it could possibly be a failing graphics card, failing LCD, or loose wire.
Here are my specs:
iMac (27-inch, Late 212)
Processor: 3.4 GHZ Intel Core i7
Memory: 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (upgraded myself)
Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
I'm a photographer and videographer, so I'm sure my graphics card gets quite a workout often. I've also come back to find that my computer has restarted itself, likely due to the issue.

I would make an appointment with a Genuis and show them the screen prints. I had this issue with a Macbook and it was a motherboard issue. That does not mean your issue is the same - but it needs to be checked. Screen prints like yours are so helpful for them to diagnose.

Laptop Display shows distorted lines when connected to external projector

After updated to 10.6.3 my laptop screen doesn't work in presentation mode with a projector or external monitor connected. The remote image works fine, it is just the laptop screen which distorts. Is anyone else having similar problems? Has anyone worked out how to fix this?

This has been reported by three other keynote users on this forum but Apple has not fixed it yet.

IPhone 5 on ios7 displaying ipod artwork as diagonal line

I have just recently synced my iPhone with os 7 with iTunes. With my old phone it showed the artist images - now it shows a diagonal line with their names...could someone please assist in getting the images back please

I am having issues too. Sometimes when I move a reminder to another list and remove the "Remind me on a day" setting, the task just disappears! I have used many to-do management programs throughout the years and feature-wise Apple's Reminders app is one of the simplest. I love Apple's hardware and brand, but throughout their ecosystem I have been encountering more and more baffling software bugs to the point I notice myself feeling relieved when a more involved function (such as exporting photos from iPhoto on my iPad) works properly. "It Just Works" is starting to become a mockery. I am willing to trade advanced power-user features for software stability and reliability, but I am concerned about Apple's management when it has so many resources and can't even get a simple task list app right.

Diagonal lines/questionmarks showing up on templates of entire site

I have a huge website and don't want to have to start all over! Please help. On my iWeb, not the published site, I get all of these diagonal lines and question marks in the background. Part of the template is missing (details of stars in the kid blue template) The Web site itself doesn't have the lines, but some pictures are missing and some of the text is messed up. I don't know what to do to fix this. It has been suggested that I just eliminate the domain and start over. I pray that isn't my only option as I have spent many hours on the blog. I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks, Marla
This page will give you a clearer picture of what it looks like on the web... with pictures missing and words moved... see the snapshot to see what I see on the iWeb program itself.

here's the screenshot.

The lines show up on all of my pages within the iWeb program. The blog seems to be the most effected with missing pics and moved text in almost all of my blog posts... I have like 30 of them. I want to continue with the blog for my friends and family as we live on the opposite coast. We just bought an iMac and I'd like to work on my site some more, but don't know what I should do. If it is a currupt file, I don't want to bring the domain over to the new computer. I don't want to lose all of my work tho... what to do?
If I insert a new page wiith the same template, kids blue, it does the same thing. If I insert a different template, it doesn't have the lines.
Pleeese help me...

Varkgirl is right!
You have corrupted Kid Blue template, I experienced something bad (not quite like this) when I was writing the templates installer for Suzanne (sboben).
Sorry, I didn't make the connections, but looking at your screen shoot:
http://homepage.mac.com/nealbfinn/Snapshot%202006-07-15%2014-58-45.tiff
and looking at iWeb Kid Blue template:
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/images/kid_blue.jpg
your screen shoot is missing the stars background (the stars on the right hand side):
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/images/star_tiles.jpg
and the image in the place holder (bottom image):
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/images/place_holder.jpg
My suggestion is, backup your home folder, your Domain.sites, and anything deems valuable, then re-install iWeb.
Varkgirl, you have good intuition; we'll miss you .

Hi Guys, my iphone 4 showing bad retina display and showing horizontal lines? What could be the problem???

Hi Guys, my iphone 4 showing bad retina display and showing horizontal lines? What could be the problem???

Could be that your screen is damaged or dying. Only way to know is to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

Iphone 4S display has faint diagonal lines.

Is anyone else experiencing faint diagonal lines on their iPhone 4S screen? They are most noticeable on bright, solid colors. they are very faint but visible enough to detract from the display quality. Does anyone wlse have this problem? Should I make a warranty claim?

Yeah I have that probablem to but it only happens when I'm not looking straight at the screen. I think it's the same with all iPhones (at least retina ones) cause I got a iPhone 4

Satellite A660 - Lines on the screen

Hi all,
I've noticed just recently that when I turn my laptop on there's a strip of what looks like a line of black smudge. Furthermore, I've got lines everywhere that renders it almost impossible to see!
Now there's no way in hell I've dropped it, nor have I left anything on the laptop at all, and when I checked there wasn't any visible cracks on the screen. In regards to proper maintenance, I use it a hell of a lot at Uni but I usually carry it around in a laptop bag which has a compartment for it, I turn it off whenever I'm not using it and I certainly do go dropping it or leaving anything on it that could cause it to crack.
What the hell has happened? Could it of cracked internally? And if so, how the fudge did that happen w/out any force? Unless there might've been some trauma that I didn't know about, but seeing as it happened about 45mins after I last turned it off and turned it on AND it being in the same spot I left it which was on my computer desk, I'd say that's a farfetched possibility.
I bought this September 29th last year so I'm still covered by warranty. I checked online that I have an "International Limited Warranty". Is that the standard warranty? I checked also if the screen is covered by warranty and it says in the "WHAT IS NOT COVERED" that:
"Damage caused by accident, intentional or accidental misuse, abuse, neglect or improper maintenance, use under abnormal
conditions, including fracture or damage to the LCD (screen), casework, cables, AC Adaptors, keyboard keys, covers, plugs
and latches."
So seeing as it probably falls under "accident", that means it's not covered? That's bollocks. Surely there's a way that this could be covered under warranty? I'm not in any sort of position to go spending another big buck to get this thing repaired...
I bought this from Harvey Norman, Australia which is a well-known retailer for these sorts of products.
Any help is great help and I look forward to your replies.
Kind regards,
Charles.
Toshiba Satellite A660.

Hello
Are you sure this problem is related to internal screen? Theoretically it could be the graphic card itself and you can check this by connecting an external monitor. If you can see the same lines on it its graphic card itself, otherwise the internal screen.
But I think in both cases you need professional help from an authorized service provider. The guys can check your notebook, order new spare parts and replace them for you. Also they can give you an exact answer if this is covered by warranty or not. Here in forum we can only speculate about this and its user to user forum only.
So get in contact with an ASP in your country. Im sure the problem can be fixed with the guys as fast as possible. :)

Satellite A660-07U - Can't install new display driver

When I first got my laptop it wouldn't even boot out the box! So I googled the way to get it up and running and it wouldn't install Windows 7 32bit, so I installed Windows 7 64bit and that worked.
I am one of the users who is also having their laptop freeze on them constantly. I have done the Bios update and it is still doing it. So I decided to try updating the graphics drivers with the new ones from this website, but it seems they wont install. I got the Windows 7 64bit drivers first as I have Windows 7 64bit installed in my laptop. But it says it cant find the required hardware, I figured its because my laptop is not a 3D version, should that even matter?
So I then tried the 32bit drivers and it says im using wrong system os for those drivers.
So how about some drivers I can use?

Hello
> it didn't work out the box
Why it didnt work? What problems you had exactly?
> The X64 drivers for download will NOT work on my A660, says something about not the right hardware (which is where I got the 3D idea from)
Well, in my opinion it has nothing to do with 3D support. If you can find new driver updates for Satellite A660 they should work because they are tested by Toshiba.
As far as I know there is no A660 model with 3D support, thats only available on A665.
Fact is that 32bit drivers never work on 64bit operating systems. So just forget this point.
Satellite A660/07U seems to be an Australian model and belongs to PSAW3A series. On the Australian page there is only one display driver available for Windows 7 64bit
What you can try is the display driver from European page where you can find a similar model PSAW3E:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
On this page I could found two driver version: 260.51 and 189.58. As far as I know latter one works properly without freeze.
> You could have just said you don't know the answer or are you always this condescending?
You want some help or not? ;)
I mean I also didnt know that you are still use the Windows 7 installation from Toshiba, you only wrote about new Windows 7 installation.
Anyway, it was simple misunderstanding.
