Satellite A660 - WLAN activation?

hi,
i cannot activate my wlan by pressing FN-F8
i have updated some drivers. if i press the buttons FN-F8, the OSD tells me that i must activate my WLAN.
but i dont know "how" ?!!
i cannot find any extra-buttons !?!?!?

Hi,
There should be a Wifi Switch above the keyboard, it is a touch-button with a small antenna icon.
Pressing that touch-button should enable the Wifi Radio/Antenna.
If it doesn't, you may need to reinstall the Toshiba Value Added Package, and check the Wifi Settings in the BIOS.

Satellite A660-18N - Solution for disabled WLAN switch

I have at last solved this annoying issue, my laptop is a Satellite A660-18N
Out of the box it just would not connect to wireless networking. With the Fn-F8 key combination reporting: "Wireless communitcation is disabled, please turn on the wireless communication switch"
Of course there is no such switch, just the FN-F8 Combination key press. Having tried various forums, and tech support, I solved the problem my self.
The solution is:
Go to the folder on your c drive "Program files\Toshiba\TBS. Then scroll down the list of program files and double click on the file named TBSWireless.exe and hey presto, the wireless communication will turn on (Amber Light will come on on the front bottom right panel of the computer). From now on the FN-F8 Key combination will turn it on and of.
Bye all

Absolutely great job, Fin_1!
Thank you for this solution but I must say I didnt notice this problem on my Satellite A660 but it could be useful for other A660 owners :)

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 - Fan always on and loud

Hi all,
I bought the Satellite A660-10 days ago and I love it so far.
The only issue I have is the fan noise. It is always on at 53% of the speed even when I don't do anything.
I am wondering if this is normal as I have only an intel i3.
Thanks!

I dont have Satellite A660 and cannot say for sure what happen exactly on this notebook but at the moment I have several notebooks at home including brand new Satellite U500 and I have reduced cooling method on each of them and run in Balanced power plan.
All of them are pretty quiet and fan activity is on minimum level. It runs constantly but on slow speed.
I must try to check this on Satellite A660. Friend of mine has one.
By the way: doud be careful with display driver update especially with drivers from non-Toshiba page. Maybe you will get more graphic performance but Im afraid the cooling fan will be probably louder than now.

Satellite A660 What partitions to copy in creating bootable clone?

I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. From surfing forum threads, it seems that Toshiba has a unique way of partitioning up the HDD for a notebook. From Disk Management and PowerQuest Partition Table Editor, my 640GB HDD has 4 partitions:
Partition 1: Windows RE, 1.46 GB
* "Active", likely contains boot info
* Not large enough to contain Windows 7 image
* Actual Windows 7 image likely in partition 3 or 4
Partition 2: 559.5 GB NTFS C-drive
Partition 3: 22.37 GB Hidden Installed File Systems
Partition 4: 12.83 GB Hidden Installed File Systems
The closest that I could find to a description of partitions 1,3,4 is http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vista/619983-solved-mystery-partition-toshiba-notebook.html for a VISTA system in 2007. Partition 1 is likely for booting. Partitions 3 and 4 contain some sort of recovery files for alternate languages.
Though I will ask Tech Support about the partitions, I don't expect them to know. Even if they do, it is on the phone, which leaves me no documentation.
1) I was wondering if anyone can confirm (or point to online documentation that confirms) the above suspicions of the purposes and contents of the partitions?
2) Furthermore, how can I tell which of partition 3 and 4 contain the recovery files for the language of the installed Windows 7, which is English?
3) Finally, I intend to clone all partitions except the one containing the unused language recovery files. This will be my first crack at cloning or handling partitions in anyway (never done an image). Is this plan sane?
The intent is for the cloned HDD to be a complete bootable drop-in replacement for the source HDD in its entirety. I will be using Norton Ghost. At this point, I am not interested in creating recoverable images, though I might explore that down the road.

I'm glad you posted. The first thing I did in response was to figure out how to make recovery discs, then make them.
I was going to clone all partitions because I wasn't absolutely sure about the purposes of them all. The thread that I linked to in my original post was speculative, and also referred to a different machine & OS. However, if you're absolutely certain that partitions 3 & 4 are for recovery, then it does raise the question of why clone them.
I think there still are reasons, though not everyone would think them worthwhile. It's for redundancy and convenience. From surfing around, Toshiba designs laptops so that you can recover to a factory image by holding down 0 when booting up. Kind of handy if I'm not at home (or in my home city) or can't conveniently access my recovery discs -- maybe I lose them! I'm not about to test that disc-less recovery on my laptop, but even if that feature *wasn't* present, it's nice to know that I don't have to worry about losing my recovery discs. The partitions don't take up much of the HDD, and the HDD is way, way bigger than I will ever need.
However, in order to clone all partitions, I will have to shrink the C-drive partition, which means the locations of the recovery partitions will shift. I'm not sure if this will break the disc-less recovery function.
As well, I would like the cloning software to resize the C-drive partition in the cloning process so that the partition size doesn't have to be resized in the source drive. According to anecdotes, both Norton Ghost and Acronis True Image can do this, and create a bootable target HDD. I was wondering if anyone can suggest reasons to prefer one over the other.
Ghost's *trial* version is handicapped and cannot do what is required, though they have a refund period for a purchased, fully-functional version. I will be looking into Acronis True Image. As for ease of use, would anyone who has tried both be able to comment?

Satellite A660-10X - Freezes many times

Hello
A few months ago I bought Satellite A660-10x. On original installed system it freezed one time (I used laptop maybe one hour) but I thought it was some accident or maybe something was configured improperly. Then I installed clear system (Windows 7 Home Premium) from Microsoft disc and installed only necessary drivers but the problem occurred again. At the first moment I thought that it happen only when I don't click or move mouse for above 1 minute but at the moment the problem also appears when I click or write something. I use this laptop very rarely but as you can imagine it's very annoying and it makes that I cannot trust this laptop and data on it. Maybe you know what can cause the problem or maybe some new drivers were published to remove this issue?
I read that not only I have the same problem.
Best regards

Hi machanic12,
> The amount of bloatware included with the Toshiba Recovery Image is astonishing.
What bloatware you mean? Do you think that any drivers or important software like Value Added Package is bloatware? Thats wrong!
As you can see in other postings here in forum I use Satellite A660 for 3 months now with preinstalled Windows 7 from Toshiba. Never did a new installation as yet because the factory settings work perfect.
Ok, if you dont like McAfee security software or trial software of Office for example you can simply remove it in control panel > Add/Remove programs. I did the same, just for information.
But the most installed software is necessary and really nice, like Eco Utility. It helps me to save a lot of energy and battery power. Furthermore ConfigFree is also nice WiFi tool that I always use and other Toshiba Utilites like PC Health Monitor are nice to check the fan activity, temperatures, etc.
I must say I dont have any performance problems. Windows starts pretty fast, no problems with Photoshop or VMware. Also my games run well.
Otherwise I agree with your posting running a Memtest and update BIOS version. Latest version (1.80-WIN) I have installed and no problems. :)

Do anyone knows drivers installation order for Satellite A660-11M

Do anyone knows the drivers installation order for Satellite a660-11m?
I've got some issue installing Win 7 pro (wlan do not work properly,
freezing few minutes after laptop startup, unabling to run CHKDSK on C:).
Reading this forum it seems to me these aren't new issues for Toshiba users.

Hi, friends.
I've installed the the Flash Card Support Utility. In effect, now the function keys work. ;) <img class="emoticon" border="0" alt="" />
Unfortunately it seems that problems are hard to die. The Laptop, in fact, keeps freezing, tipically but not exclusively, after resuming from suspension due to lid closing. System can stucks during windows login or after a while that user is logged on.
During these days i've discovered that SPTD.exe x64 v.1.74 (Daemon Tools) and Nod32 x64 makes impossible launching chkdsk on %SystemDrive% (countdown stucked on 1 and hdd led blinked with very short ON state). However, even without installing those, it seems that one is not able to break the countdown (that windows shows before it starts chkdsk) pressing a key.
But maybe I should open a new topic for talcking about this.

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 Cant get official updates and iTunes-64 wont install

Hi,
I've had my laptop for about 3 weeks now and have some problems that maybe someone here can help with :)
It is a Toshiba Satellite A660 Windows 7 64 bit, with all the toshiba support options allowed - tempro, bulleting board health check etc.
Problem 1:
The toshiba bulleting board asked me to update a load of stuff - Bios, Display Drivers, Wireless drivers etc.
The only update that (appeared to...it didnt freeze at least ) worked was the broadcom wireless driver update.
So, for the display update, I download the file, extract it, and nothing happens - I have tried running the tinstallwb.exe myself -
I get prompted if I want the program to modify the hard drive, I say yes..and thats the last I hear of it..been trying for hours to get this to work, but i look at a desktop with no activity. In the archive folder, if I try and run the setup.exe (i.e. the nvidia part) it says that no valid nvidia hardware has been detected.
Problem 2:
I tried the bios update, that the bulletin board asked me to install...it failed, just didnt want to install.
Problem 3:
I spend most of the time powering down the laptop, as it freezes on the shutdown screen...
Problem 4:
Prob not a toshiba issue - but I cannot install Quicktime or iTunes...the installer just freezes (It doesnt go into not responing though) - I left th elaptop runningn for about 4 hours yesterday, trying to install itunes 64 bit until I had to kill the task (and power down, as shutdown doesnt work)
Any ideas, I've given up on trying to update the updates that the toshiba Bulleting board is telling me to update?
I've tried the obvious update everything I can, but the toshiba updates dont update :(
Other software installed: MS Office and Outlook, firefox.
Thanks for any help,
Andy

Hi
1) You can download all the drivers directly from the Toshiba European driver page.
If you really need an update, then you should download the file, should save it on the HDD, should unzip the package and should either execute the setup.exe or should update the driver from the device manager.
2) Here is a HowTo doc about BIOS update:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=60
If this is not possible, then your Windows OS might be muddled up and maybe you should recover the notebook before running a BIOS update.
3) As suggested above; all these issues might be related to the corrupted OS and maybe you need to reinstall the OS to get it working again.
4) see point 3

Satellite A660 wont start again until i turn to safe mode

Just purchase toshiba Satellite A660: i tell the story to compensate closely to my answer, hopefully ..
I just purchase it new, run the insallation program for first use. When its up and running just within that day i noticed that it start to hang up when i hooked external drive for some program installation (adobe lightroom).
Its still fine but when i turn it off, it wont start again until i did turn to safe mode so that i could back up some of the files and run the recovery again.
This time on 64bit. When its finish its process, it works well for just a couple of hours.
It fell faster now thou, maybe because its on 64bit? ( any recommendation whether its 32 or 64bit) specs: i5 , 4ram, 1g ddcatd graphics , win7 home premium, ..
Now, when i turn it off it never start back again windows say.. start up repair. ..
I did let it run since this morning until now still they cant find whats the problem (i'm refering the loptop) .
So any idea on whats goin ?

> It fell faster now thou, maybe because its on 64bit? ( any recommendation whether its 32 or 64bit) specs: i5 , 4ram, 1g ddcatd graphics , win7 home premium, ..
64bit Operating system is better if your notebook supports 4GB or more RAM.
Why? Because Win 32bit recognizes max 3.2GB even if more RAM is available.
This is 32bit limitation; no matter what OS it is; Linux, Win XP, Vista, Win7 etc
This is the reason why 64bit OS are so popular in the last time
Regarding the OS issue;
I recommend running a HDD recovery again... this means you should reinstall the OS usign the Toshiba recovery option;
Press F8 while powering up the notebook, Choose Repair my Computer, -> HDD recovery

Satellite A660 turns off unexpectedly during heightened performance situations

Hi,
I currently own a Toshiba Satellite A660, recently it has been shutting off unexpectedly when I play games. I've always played these games before which is why it concerns me. After it shuts down if I try to turn it on immediately the fan goes at full blast and it will turn off again and I must wait a few minutes for it to cool. It seems like my computer is working too hard to cool the processor or whatever.
I cleaned up my disk space and am at 0% fragmentation so thats as far as my knowledge goes.
Thank you

Satellite A660 DVD/CD-ROM drive does not detect discs

Hi there,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 with a MAT****A BD-CMB UJ141ES DVD/CD-ROM drive. It is about 18 months old and recently I have noticed that it does not recognise any CDs/DVDs. It makes a couple of noises once inserted but then stops spinning and nothing happens or changes in My Computer view.
Please note there seems to be no apparent problems with the drive:
- It is present in My Computer
- The device is working properly in device manager
Things I have already tried:
- Run Microsoft FixIt and CD-ROM/DVD Troubleshooter - both said it could not recognise media
- Deleted upper filter in the registry as per many suggestions (no lower filter present)
- Updated driver
I don't know what else to do. Please help as this is frustrating for a relatively new notebook which never is moved from my desk (don't expect many damaged parts).
Cheers

As I said: clean the laser lens
If you open the CD/DVD drive you will see the small laser lens.
Use cotton wool tip and alcohol
> Or at least provide a link?
Dont know any

Satellite A660: Remark and a question about illumination/mute button

Remark:
Hi, I am a proud owner of a satellite A660-166 (3 days old) and I installed everything from scratch on the win 7 pro since I received my laptop with a home version (need pro for work)...I encountered some problems but this forum really answered all my questions :) Never found such a helpful forum for technical support. So I wanted to express my gratitude and my support for everything you do for the users :)
Problem: Well, it's not really a problem, more of a curiosity... I had some problems with the eco button at that point illumination/mute button was for mute....Thanks to you guys I found out what needed to be done, I reinstalled Flash card software and everything was working properly plus the illumination/mute button was for illumination now. I don't have anything against that, I prefer it that way, but I'm wondering how do I change that...I found some unanswered thread about using toshiba assistant and the illumination tab...Since my laptop is pretty new, I don't have an illumination tab, I was wondering how do I change the button to mute if I want to?
Thanks, keep up the good work!

It is nice to hear you found answers to your questions here. Many people here try to help.
Back to your issue: It is not easy to offer precise answer and I really dont know if you can change settings for one single button. I think it has something to do with registry entries but how to change it is another question.
If you use this button for illumination ON/OFF you can use FN+ESC for MUTE option so you will have both options that can be used using one single button or quick key combination.
Can you please test it and confirm it works properly?

Satellite A660 - 3D DVD software runs out of date or is secretly altered

Whats going on; why do I get lynched to pay an additional $59 for software to make my Satellite 3D work?
Ok.
This probably sounds nuts; but my Toshiba Blu-Ray DVD software seems to have a DVD/Blu-ray prevention program in it. Preventing 3D and smaller issues.
It has been out of whack since I updated the software on the Toshiba site and when I updated the nVidia GTS 350M drivers.
That may be co-incidental to the problems which began in previous month/s; as I don`t always play discs on this laptop; so pinning a date when it went pear-shaped is harder.
But, after going through a nightmare (of not working on DVD or Blu-Ray on half my discs for months now); I installed the latest TRIAL ($59) Corel WinDVD 11 Pro player and everything (including 3D) works perfect again. But for 30 days only; until/unless I`m robbed of $59 additional that is.
The problem is/was;-
3D only worked on half of my Blu-Ray 3D discs using pre-installed (and later updated) Toshiba COREL WinDVD media PLAYER. Sometimes it only played 3D side by side; 2 images. No 3D. Some Blu-Ray 3D discs were fine ODDLY. Region code not an issue.
Toshiba DVD 3D player/upconvertor program was the worst (not the SD version, I dont use).
Toshiba (HD) 3D player would not recognise half of my Blu-ray 3D laptop disc drive content. "DVD drive not recognised" error message.
Toshiba DVD player itself would not upconvert any normal DVD to 3D.
Toshiba DVD player would only play NORMAL 2D when running upconvert (no 3D).
Toshiba DVD player would only play HALF-SPEED DVD when upconvert was disabled. When trying to play a DVD in normal 2D mode.
All settings were tried and altered to fix the problem around a thousand times.
Software uninstalled and re-booted and re-installed a dozen times each.
I also had to un-install the software and re-boot and re-install the following;-
nVidia graphics driver (from nVidia sites own 295.73 and re-install Update to the `older` nVidia Toshiba 260.51 driver).
I used to be able to upconvert DVDs to 3D using this laptop; so it did work many months ago; but now that has all stopped for months now.
Its a pain as I have un-installed everything and re-installed all the relevant software from the Toshiba home page; but no solution for the problem without getting mugged an extra $59.
I hate computers for the ten-thousandth time.
1 minute Ramble:-
Its the last Microsoft product I will ever buy (Windows Ultimate rubbish [had to buy a new A3 color lazer printer as no Win 7 drivers for my existing laser printer]).
SAMSUNG (3D internet TV) products from now on. No computers for ten years. Until the rats get it right and stop experimenting on my wallet. $10,000 on PC products in the past 5 years and still being able to do simple things like watch a 3D movie is a hit and miss affair.
I`m rambling....because a hundred hours reading on how to get it working again has scrambled my head.
Spec
Toshiba A660 3D laptop. Satellite.
Windows 7 Ultimate. Updated.
Intel i7 1.73Ghz
Graphics is GTS 350M
4GB Ram (8-gig upgrade on order)
Spare 550GB hard-drive space.
Toshiba site; Bios updated.
Toshiba own DVD 3D player (doesn't cut the mustard) Version 4.00.1.08
Toshiba Corel WinDVD 3D player (doesn't cut the mustard) Version 10.0.5.822
The Nvidia graphics always works fine on the test background page; which makes me think software; but all the relavant software has been updated. Re-installed and re-tried a hundred times with different settings.
I thought the discs were the problem. But 50 DVDs not working in 3D up-converting, or faulty all by themselves? And half of my 3D Blu-Ray collection?
I wondered if these these problems are deeper than this one system. Whether there was a systemic problem somewhere (besides blaming the buyer end-user).
Toshiba assist line in one call was a guy who knew far less than me and had to ask someone advice for every single part of the call. 2 hours to tell me to re-install the software in a long, slow, bit-by-bit way, eventually. We done everything they can do to help. Now they seem to blame the discs and don`t have any answer.
Microsoft x64 Ultimate says its roger all to do with them on their helpline/e-mail assist.
I tried nVidia to no avail;
Any ideas; do I bite the bullet and everyone eventually be forced bit by bit to pay for $59 software to get the thing working.
Whats the beef?

Hi
You wrote really long story :) anyway this is an user to user community Im not sure if I could clarify all these issue for you but I would try to share my knowledge with you.
But firstly it would be really interesting to know what Satellite A660-xxx do you have exactly?
You said that you have installed the Win 7 ultimate.
According to the Toshiba page the notebook was preinstalled with Windows Home Premium. The preinstalled WinDVD was a full version (not trial) and you have not to pay for this software. In my case I have not to pay for any software (except MS Office :) )
you said also:
> I installed the latest TRIAL ($59) Corel WinDVD 11 Pro player and everything (including 3D) works perfect again. But for 30 days only; until/unless I`m robbed of $59 additional that is.
So it seems that you dont use the preinstalled Win DVD but you have installed other version which was not preinstalledso you have to purchase such version if you want to use a full version of any software which is not part of Toshiba image.
> 3D only worked on half of my Blu-Ray 3D discs using pre-installed (and later updated) Toshiba COREL WinDVD media PLAYER. Sometimes it only played 3D side by side; 2 images. No 3D. Some Blu-Ray 3D discs were fine ODDLY. Region code not an issue.
Take a look into this Toshiba document:
+3D video content not displayed in 3D when using the Toshiba Blu-ray Disc Player+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB1C038C0000R01.htm

'A problem with the cooling system' error message on Satellite A660

Hi all,
Hope I can get some help here. I've had about 5 HP laptops after all of them had problems and faults. I got sick of them and therefore got a refund and bought a high spec A660-1FH.
The A660 has been a great laptop for two days until yesterday when I started getting a warning message saying 'A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the computer immediately, and return it for service'.
The cpu fan works fine as you can here it spinning and the temperature of the i5-460m processor is around 40 degrees for both cores - which seems normal to me. I've noted that it happens only when running on battery and if you switch from eco utility to power saver mode. Its fine when running on the 'balanced' power setting. The fan is louder before when this message appears.
As its under 28 days my retailer swapped it for a brand new one straight away. Got the new one home, and the same message appears again. Has anyone else experienced this. As two laptops have had this, I'm wondering if this is normal for the A660 series laptop or if there is really a hardware issue?!
I have tried to upgrade eco utility and the bios of the laptop but both are the latest versions. Can anyone help or share if they experience a similar issue with their laptop?
Thanks

In front of me I have Satellite A660-13Q (PSAW3E) and I have it about 6 weeks now. It runs almost 10 hours daily and until now I didnt notice such message or anything else that can be suspect for hardware functionality.
I really dont know why this happen on your notebook and dont think there is anything you can do about it.
I would exchange it again. What you can also try is to contact nearest Toshiba service. Make a call, explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this.
