Satellite A660-149 stuck on 'resuming from S4 State'

Hi guys, I have a problem with my laptop where is says 'The system is resuming from S4 State', I know this means waking up from hibernation, but the thing is I've left it all night like this and it hasn't changed still saying the same thing. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Thanks for feedback buddy... its pity that mentioned workaround did not help you.
I would recommend you trying to recover the notebook using the Toshiba recovery disk.
After fresh OS recovery, check the available BIOS versions on Toshiba EU driver page.
In case newer BIOS version was released for your notebook model, follow with BIOS update.
The hibernation issues can be related to system problems and in such case the recovery procedure or BIOS update might be helpful.

  • Satellite A660-149 - Does it have a 3D video card?

    My notebook has been a surprise gift for me - day after day I'm now discovering its many wonderful features. A bit of a struggle though 'cos I'm far from being well versed in computing.
    One thing I'm uncertain about is this: Is my NVidia GeForce a 3d video card? I 'd better be sure because a couple of the drivers Toshiba Tempro suggests I install come with the warning: *This driver is only for the model with the nVidia 3D video card*. Is anyone around who can confirm the Satellite A660-149 does have a 3d video card?

    Thank you, folks, for helping me clarify my very hazy ideas on this subject. Then this screen with 1366x768 res/ and 60 hz refresh rate is for sure not up to reproducing 3d, but Xardas must be right in thinking the A660 may support 3D on an external monitor which would explain why the Toshiba utility advises on the installation of a 3d driver for the A660 series. Oh well, I won't bother with 3d one way or another, enough complications in life as it is at the moment. Cheers all. :)

  • Need Toshiba tools and utilities for my Satellite A660-149

    Please suggest me what should I do now....& where I can get this software.

    Hi friend ;)
    All necessary drivers and Toshiba specific tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads Support homepage.
    At the bottom of this page you will see option Driver download.
    Go there, choose your notebook model and you will find all you need.
    Of course, there you will find stuff for supported OS version only.

  • Satellite A660-149 - Tosh utility disappeared!

    Would someone pl. help me trace the following utility which I've had till recently on my brand new Satellite A660-149 but now it's gone (maybe through some fault of mine).
    It took the form of a rectangle that would hide at the edge of the screen and would (inconveniently, most of the time) pop out whenever the cursor hit its outline. One of its 3 buttons caused a box to appear where you could select one of various pre-set options for the display according to ambient lighting, one of these options being user defined.
    I found this utility most useful for quickly changing the display adjustments whenever I had to move my laptop around.
    I hardly had time to look into what this utility was called and where it was residing, before I lost it without trace.
    A prize to anyone who helps me rediscover it ?!

    How kind not having given up on me, Xardas! :)
    I'm having the same results as you, with Flash Cards. As a novice I haven't looked into these things properly yet, but it seems to me the tool I'm after isn't related to Flash Cards. The closest I could maybe describe it is: a control for ambient light. BTW I don't seem to have a functioning Ambient Light Sensor, i.e. the button next to the Power button (numbered 13 in the Manual) - it must've been disabled for my model. The Manual says: *The Ambient Light Sensor automotically adjusts picture & contrast etc etc. By utilizing up to 8 different contrast settings, you will see the best picture possible in any room environment.* Well, I wonder: the utility I'm after with its (as far as I remember) 8+ lighting presets, must've been a kind of compensation/replacement for the missing automatic Ambient Light Sensor. As I said, it took the form of a (maybe) 4cm x 1cm rectangle hiding at the edge of the screen.

  • Satellite L655-149 - Can I upgrade from Intel Core i5 to i7?

    Hi everybody,
    I have Satellite L655-149 Satellite. Can I replace the processor from Core i5 to Core i7 and how?
    Thank you.

    Hey,
    Theoretically you can upgrade the CPU but if you do this you will loose your warranty and everything happens on your own risk. Furthermore its not supported from Toshiba that means nobody can say if the new CPU would work properly or not.
    You should check this article:

  • Satellite A110-149: Sometimes keyboard changes from AZERTY to QWERTY

    HI, and sorry for my poor English speaking (I'm French and novice at English)
    I have a problem with my laptop: Satellite A110-149, running Windows XP, bought in January 2007.
    Sometimes, for unknown reason, my keyboard (AZERTY) changes to QWERTY, no matter what software I'm using.
    I've upgraded the drivers in the configuration panel, but nothing changes.
    What to do please? How could I repair it?
    Thanks.

    I have only one explanation.
    You have configured the keyboard layout with two different languages.
    By pressing of SHIFT + ALT the OS changes the layout language and the button assignation.
    Maybe during the fast typing you have accidentally activated this key combination and the keyboard layout switched

  • Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9 cannot resume from Sleep or Hibernate with SP1

    Hi,
    Laptop Details: [My Laptop|http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook ie=yes&PRODUCT_ID=131911]
    I've recently used Windows Update to install vista SP1 on my laptop, however since this install I cannot resume from Sleep or Hibernate. (The service pack had installed successfully - according to Windows anyway).
    When resuming from Sleep, I get a blank screen.
    When resuming from Hibernation, I get a STOP error: +Stop 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x82F11020, 0x9A9D9714, 0x00000000)+ caused by *Classpnp.sys*.
    After checking these forums, I've seen that Toshiba does not currently support SP1 +is that correct?+
    +*If so, when/how will we be notified when Toshiba release a "patch" for Vista SP1 compatibility? I'm guessing via the TEMPO service?*.+
    Prior to installing SP1, I installed all updates (from both Microsoft and Toshiba) and had no problems; all drivers remain up to date.
    Thanks for any replies in advance.

    I presume this happens due to a compatibility issue between some drivers and SP1
    > After checking these forums, I've seen that Toshiba does not currently support SP1 is that correct?
    Yes this is right.
    > If so, when/how will we be notified when Toshiba release a "patch" for Vista SP1 compatibility? I'm guessing via the TEMPO service?
    I think there should be information on the Toshiba driver page, support page or we will receive some information from Toshiba via Tempo applications.
    We will see

  • My Satellite 2410 shuts down after resuming from Stand by mode

    My laptop shuts down when i resume it from stand by. I have Satellite 2410-303 windows xp Home Edition Sp-2.
    any help?

    Hi,
    could it be possible that you have Software installed, that doesnt support the standby function?
    Often Programs like Firewalls or AntiVirus Programs are the reason.

  • Satellite A660-11M stuck in loop during the recovery installation

    Hi, all.
    I am now running a recovery procedure for A660-11M. I used a recovery CD bought from Toshiba.
    Everything went well until the recovery is stuck in the loop of '*Now Rating System Performance*'.
    I found a similar case where a person solved problem by forced restart. I did, too, but when it turned on, the loop started again.
    I am wondering if there is anyway to stop this rating. It does not seem very important in the end.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    You should run the HDD recovery again.
    This means you have to power up the unit
    - press F8
    - then choose Repair my Computer
    - Then choose HDD recovery and
    - Recovery to out of the box state.

  • Satellite A660 - how to transfer video from my digital camera?

    How do I directly transfer video from my Panasonic digital video camera to my A660? I want to burn DVD. Camera has HDMI output and/or 3 wire (audio / video) RCA jacks.

    Hi
    The camera should support other ports in order to move the files to the computer.
    The mentioned ports like HDMI out and RCA can be used in order to connect the camcorder to the LCD TV but not to the notebook.
    So check the camcorder again there should be an USB port (mini or micro) or firewire which would help you to export the files.

  • Sound gets stuck on resume from pm-suspend

    I've never had any sound problems before, but suddenly in the last week, this started happening.
    When I resume after a pm-suspend, the sound gets "stuck" - if I play a song, for example, it will just play the first split-second of the song over and over (looping like a broken record!) and won't continue or stop, even if I stop the song in the application. This happens with both mpd and deadbeef, and at the moment I'm unable to get sound Youtube in either Chromium or Firefox to confirm whether it happens there too (though the fact that I can't get sound there is itself a problem).
    I've tried restarting the alsa daemon, with no luck. Below are the contents of my /etc/pm/sleep.d/90alsa:
    #!/bin/sh
    # 90alsa: suspend/wakeup ALSA devices
    case "$1" in
    hibernate|suspend)
    thaw|resume)
    #aplay -d 1 /dev/zero
    *) exit $NA
    esac
    I have tried it both with and without the aplay line (commented out right now).

    Oddly enough, I just noticed last night that the problem was fixed (likely the result of a -Syu at some point since my first post, but I can't be quite sure).

  • Satellite A660-07S keeps freezing when streaming videos

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A660-07S laptop just recently, from the begining it started freezing when I am using video applications, such as Skype or Youtube etc... The freezing happens randomly and the only way to get out of it is by long pressing the on switch(forced off). I returned the Laptop many times to Toshiba authorised technician and we have done almost everything from Reinstalling software and operating system, replacing the mother board, graphic card, memory etc... and the problem is still happening. The laptop is great and does the job very well except for this random freezing which is very annoying and has no way of explaining why it is happening.
    I am thinking maybe there is a flaw in the design of the system and the components do not work together very well. I have also read about few other issues with Satelite Laptops which freezes. I use other laptop and I am an IT Specialist. Never had such a problem before and cannot explain why this Laptop in particular freezes. Anyone can shed the light on what could be the problem so Technician and Users can maybe fix this issue.
    As I said we tried every thing you would do to eliminate the problem and nothing has worked so far.
    Thanks in advance to any replies or suggestions.

    Hey,
    Im really wondering that your notebook doesnt work properly with video applications. Friend of me has the same notebook and he often use video applications like Skype, Youtube, etc. Also he watches DVDs and blu-rays but not problems at all.
    He uses the preinstalled Windows version from Toshiba and everything is ok.
    In your case I would ask the authorized service provider again what they can do for you. I mean if a lot of parts were already replaced there must be a solution for your problem and if its a hardware related problem you can do nothing and you need professional help.
    Maybe the ASP can get in contact with Toshiba directly or something else Just talk a little bit with them, Im sure the problem can be fixed.
    Sorry that I cant say more but the A660 of my friend is working perfect.

  • Desktop visible after resume (from suspend) and before screen is locke

    My desktop becomes visible for brief period (<1s) when the system resumes from suspended state. My desktop env. is XFCE4, it happens with both xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver (also with slimlock and i3lock), therefore I think it's not locker dependent. It's a major security flaw because sensitive information may be exposed (not just porn). Using both XFCE provided locking facilities (suspend/resume lock options in Power Manager and Session settings), and systemd suspend/resume hooks yields same result. I remember back then when I was using Gnome, I haven't had this issues. Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this desktop expose?

    Have you tried this --> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm … or_suspend ?

  • Can't restore wireless network from suspend state

    On kernel 3.3.8 everything was working fine, after upgrading to 3.4.2 I can't restore wireless network after resuming from suspend. I am using ath9k module and netcfg for managing connections.
    For now the only work around is to reload ath9k and then connecting to wireless network after resuming from suspend state.
    Any idea if its a known issue? If there is a better workaround (perhaps to reload ath9k automatically) let me know.
    Thanks.

  • Satellite A660-18N - Powers off after waking from sleep mode

    My Satellite A660-18N powers off 2-3 seconds after waking from sleep mode. I upgraded the memory from 4GB to 8GB, using Crucial's website, so I know it's compatible. BIOS is updated to 2.00.
    Not sure what to do, how can I fix this without turning off Sleep mode completely?

    Hello
    >Currently I've turned off sleep mode altogether. I've also reset the BIOS settings from the boot menu but it hasn't fixed the problem
    And why you dont test it with pretested memory modules from an authorized service provider? The part number for such RAM is PA3677U-1M4G. Its one 4GB DDR3-1066 MHz memory module.
    Furthermore it would be interesting to know who says that Crucial memory is compatible Maybe its compatible to other Toshiba notebooks but fact is you have problems after waking from sleep mode and this happens only with Crucial memory and not with preinstalled modules.
    I dont think somebody here can provide you a solution for this because its just a compatibility issue and its user to user forum only.
