Satellite A660-10W with HDCP support

Hello guys,
I have the A660-10W and want to download iTune movies in HD
It says I need to have a video driver with HDCP (Support?) but I don't know, nor do I understand what it is.
I would appreciate your help - as you have done extremely well in the past.
Thank you in advance

Hi
HDCP is a copy protection protocol.
This protocol prevents copying of high-definition movies.
If the system does not support the HDCP you will not be able to send the data to the device (TV, LCD) via HDMI or other ports like DisplayPort or DVI.
Microsoft Vista and Windows 7 use HDCP in computer graphics cards and monitors.
But if you want to watch high definition movies on external TV you have to ensure that both HDMI ports on TV and notebook would support the HDCP.
But it seems that Sat A660-10W does not support the HDMI port and therefore you will not be able to watch the HDCP protected HD movies on external monitors.

Satellite A660-10W - After Windows 7 installation some unknown devices

So I have the Satellite A660-10W, and I reinstalled the Windows 7 it came with Windows 7 ultimate 64bit. First thing is when I use fn+F6/F7 (other combinations work) for brightness levels it doesn`t work, brightness doesn`t change. And the other thing is that there seem to be some unknown devices.
Here is everything hope someone can think of what could it be, thanks in advance. :)

OK you and my friend are right, because I installed the video card drivers from nvidia`s website, not from toshiba, now brightness works :D
And I reinstalled Windows because one thing there were no partitions only one lonely drive and I wanted 30-40gigs for windows and the rest for stuff, not when I decide do reinstall lets say a year later with work and media on it to lose everything. I didn`t do any back ups, even all the shop assistant talked about when I bought it was to buy some dvd`s and backup, but I said I never did that before so why would I need it now, anyway now everything works perfectly, iI`m prepared for the next time :D , thanks for the help. :)

Satellite A660-10W - Sensitive Arrow Key

I have a Satellite A660-10W running Windows 7 64-bit for about 7 months now. A couple of days ago I noticed that the right arrow key became very sensitive. It feels quite normal just like other keys when pressed and not actually soft to the touch but the slightest touch to the key would cause it to trigger. This a major inconvenience for me since I use it a lot for writing (my work) and using this arrow key now is not accurate at all and it becomes a hassle when I need to use it.
Could anybody help me with this?
Thanks in advance

Hey,
Its not easy to discuss about this behavior and I think this must be checked from a notebook technician if its normal behavior or not. I cant say something about this without seeing it.
Your notebook is only 7 months old so I would contact an authorized service provider in your country. In this case hardware repair is for free so ask the guys for help. They should check your keyboard if it needs replacing or another part.
Do know where you can search for an authorized service provider?
Here you can do it:

PS: The sensitivity of single keys cant be changed.

Hi
There are two possibilities: either the RAM modules are faulty/damage/not compatible or one of the memory slots is damaged.
I think you should test every RAM module in each slot to discover the issue

Satellite A660 - upgrade with backlight keyboard

I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-141. Originally it was without backlid keyboard, but I recently bot a replacement with backlit function for my laptop, but when I connect everything backlit don't work... Can anybody help me to activate it? Did anybody did the same replacement?
http://1drv.ms/1grM9M8

Hi dude
I found very interesting thread about the keyboard backlight upgrade on Satellite A660
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=58628
The upgrade would be possible if an additional connector JBLG would be present.
Additionaly the new option in BIOS would appear where you could change the backlight function.
In case this option isnt available, the upgrade would not be possible.

Satellite A660 - troubles with Wi-Fi and keyboard

Hi everyone,
I bought this Satellite A660 3yrs ago. I found the Wi-Fi no work suddenly half year ago. I tried to use fn+f8, it show that "Wireless communication is disabled. Please turn on communication switch".
Then I had to use LAN connectivity.
Other problem appeared 3 weeks ago, the keyboard cannot work correctly.
When I start Windows and use mouse click a item or document, many items or documents will be selected, look like press 'shift' at the same time.
And press keyboard, just appear capital letters and number, cannot use "@#%&*(" etc. if just use fn+num lock, it dont change anything.
If I use fn+f1 firstly ,then go back windows, then use fn+num lock, and mouse and keyboard are good.
I tried to reinstall VAP and WLAN, reset BIOS to default, it was not useful. I use recovery os today, but the problem is still there, no Wi-Fi, no good mouse and keyboard. I have no idea now.
Please help
Sorry for my English

Hi
Regarding the keyboard issue:
I think you should connect the external USB keyboard. In case the external keyboard would work properly, the problem is related to your internal keyboard and this need to be replaced.
Regarding the WLan issue:
>Wireless communication is disabled. Please turn on communication switch"
I found an solution on the Toshiba US page:
[Satellite A665- "Wireless Communication is Disabled. Please Turn On the Wireless Communication Switch|http://support.toshiba.com/support/viewContentDetail?contentId=2782704]
The Satellite A665 is very similar to the European A660 series and the solution is to enable wireless communication, press the Wireless Antenna ON/OFF button located on the System Indicator Panel above the keyboard. Once the Wireless Antenna is ON, you can use the FN+F8 keys to turn wireless on.

Satellite A660-10W - What are the function buttons?

I cannot find in the User's Manual what each of the fuction buttons are according to their signs.
(I refer to the function buttons between the two speakers; below the screen.)
Thank you

Hi Bedouin,
Just press every button step by step and so you will see what happens: Learning by doing! ;)
The programmable buttons from left to righ
1.Eco button The notebook will change the power plan to eco mode. In this mode your notebook will save energy and dim the display for example
2.WLAN button WLAN connectivity will be turned off or on
3.Programmable button As the name says, you its programmable button. Therefore you need Toshiba Button Support that is preinstalled on your computer
4.Play/Pause I think this says everything
5.Illumination on/off The button can turn on/off the illumination
6.Volume up/down
I hope I could help you to make this clear. :)

Re: Satellite a660 - problem with HDD!

Hello!
When I turned on my computer this morning, first time I've heard that HDD was working very noisy. It was like buzzing and clicking, never was like that. Computer is 3 months old, bought in pc world.
Can somebody help what to do ?
thanks

Hello
Theoretically it could be a hardware malfunction of HDD. Everything is possible because HDD is mechanical part so you should always do a backup from time to time that you dont loose any important data.
In your case I would contact nearest authorized service provider. Explain the situation and the guys can repair your notebook under warranty, thats free for you. :)

Satellite A660-10W cut out due heating

My laptop cut-out yesterday I believe to be because of over-heating.
I was watching a DVD for over 2 1/2 hours and it cut-out.
Then I switched-on and realized only then that it was hot - i.e. over 70 degrees (so it must have been even hotter when it cut-out).
Today, it seems OK-ish. I'm not watching a DVD.
The tempurature reaches 55 degrees/ the fan seems to be running 90%
What do you think?
Is it "normal" to get overheated after watching a DVD for so long?
Although it seems OK-ish today, is 55 degrees on the "hot side" ?
I would appreciate any help / suggestions,
Thank you

Hi
Due to stressed CPU and GPU the heat dissipation might be higher.
But the notebook should not power off if the cooling modules would work properly.
So be sure that there is enough free space around the notebook while watching movies or gaming or running other heave performance applications.
You should also check if the notebooks cooling vents are not clogged by dust.
I clean my fans from time to time using compressed air spray this helps to keep the cooling fans clean. Usually this should be good enough to keep the temperature at normal level.

My Satellite A660 still freezes after three service under warranty

My laptop freezes occasionally from the first day. I have a reclamation three times at two authorized service enterprises. First service changed the BIOS, they clean it and said that Toshiba tests didn't find the hardware problem.
Second service enterprise said that test shows problem with the hard drive and they changed Laptop still freezes occasionally, event viewer is my proof. Warranty expires at Sept 2012. What I can do?
Please help me with the sloppy service.
Desperate customer

Yes, I visited moj servis and mr servis. Both are official service centres.
It is Satellite A660-10W with Windows 7 Home installed and yes it freezes with factory settings. It freezes no matter what degree of activity is present. Event Viewer is a proof of freeze conditions. I don't want to be rude or boastful, but my 15 years work with computers tell me that motherboard have an error. I just don't know why Toshiba service centres are so inert.
I can find any toshiba support mail to inform toshiba about service centres sloppiness. What they think, that I want another computer and have a lot of time to get fight with stupid people, stupid questions in stupid companies.
I choose toshiba because they have 2 year warranty. Now I see that they can put 10 years warranty on that way. It would be more usefull that toshiba have an address where can I send the laptop with the "thank you but never more" message.

Satellite A660-1HL - problems with graphics card

Hello!
This is my first thread so I apologize if I do something wrong and for my bad English. :)
Just bought a Toshiba Satellite A660-1hl with two graphics cards, one integrated and a GeForce GT 330M. The integrated works fine but when I switch to the dedicated I encounter problems. The resolution can not be set in optimum mode and windows in the operatingsystem (windows 7) lags when moving around. I can not get any info about the card in all sorts of temperature programs or dxdiag and the such like.
I tried to install drivers from nvidia, Toshiba and windows update without any improvement. I can not run Windows expreince index because I get an error message or any average games do to I encounter error messages there as well. I'm starting to doubt that the drivers even installed.
I hope you guys can help me out :)
this is the error messages i get:

You should test the RAM (Memory) for problems using the Microsoft Memory Test or www.memtest.org (bootable CD).
To confirm it's a hardware problem, you should backup your documents and run Recovery.
If the problem still happen on a fresh image, then the notebook should go to an ASP (Toshiba Service Center) for repairs (possibly a Mainboard replacement).

Satellite L855-10W - cannot use AMD Dynamic Switchable

Hello every body,
Fistly sorry for my bad english,
I have Toshiba satellite L855-10w with a AMD radeon hd 7670m.
I'm wondering, why i can't use AMD Dynamic Switchable and also why i can't find Intel HD 4000 that must be integrated witch Intel I7 3610qm in my system configuration?
What do you think about this?
Thank you very much

Hi
I read somewhere in the internet that the AMD Dynamic Switchable feature is not supported on Toshiba notebooks.
It seems that only nVidia Optimus Technology (for notebooks with nVidia graphic chip) is supported.

Satellite A660-11M - How to enable WiFi?

Hi. I have a Satellite A660-11M with key features
-Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)
-Intel Core i7-720QM Processor
Wifi:
Compliancy : Wi-Fi
Network Support : 802.11b/g/n
Manufacturer : Broadcom
Wireless Technology : Wireless LAN
Manufacturer : Broadcom
Wireless Technology : Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
It has been working fine but after the children were using the machine and shut it down I cannot see the Router using the wifi.
I tried the hardware switch on the media strip between the keyboard and the screen and none of the buttons respond; I suspect this may be the issue.
Fn F8 brings up the wifi fn display but clicking on it will not enable it. Trouble shooting informs me to "Turn on Wireless Capability" but as stated above, the media strip appears to be inactive. I can connect normally using the cable to the router.
I tried a System Restore but that didn't help.
So although I have a sinking feeling I am missing something obvious, any thoughts before I start reloading wifi driver and resetting BIOS? If that is the recommended approach, what driver controls the media strip
Many thanks for any help.

Thanks for all your assistance... Got it sorted:
For anyone else with this model, *it was a hardware fault.*
You need to undo one of the screws on the underside of the laptop (I undid them all 8o() and gently lift up the keyboard fascia from the top (directly above the function buttons). Under here you will find a small ribbon cable from the media panel to the motherboard... this had come undone.
Reconnected, rebooted, job's a good'un.
Genuinely impressed with how supportive this forum is... in Arnie's immortal words: I'll be back!

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.

Satellite A660 - DVD drive will not recognise some DVDs

I have a new Satellite A660-17E with a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N drive, running Windows 7 64 bit.
The drive will read most DVDs. Commercial DVDs (region 2) are fine. However, there are problems with DVDs recorded using DVD recorders. DVD+R recordings using a Philips machine work fine. DVD+R and DVD-R using a Sony HDX RDR 1095 machine do not work.
I'm hoping that the drive is ok and that this issue can be resolved by adjusting some setting or other?
Any ideas?

It is most likely the issue is with the brand of dvd's you record with. as stated in the manual not all brands of recordable media are guaranteed to work with the dvd drive.
Also the sony recorder, i had a similar problem when playing the recorded dvd on another dvd machine, i found by adding a little more recorded info from the other machine onto the dvd it played fine after that. If you use DVD+R on the sony , record something on the laptop to the same dvd and then see if the dvd will play on the laptop.
