Satellite A665-S5186 Driver Installation

I have a Satellite A665-S5186 that had Windows 7 64bit preinstalled. I reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 7 HP 64bit so that I could rid myself of all the presinstalled software easily and start with afresh copy of Windows, no extra software. I did this because I was having speed issues.
Now, I have done this on many desktops and laptops, for many years. I have never had this problem, but, the drivers listed for Satellite A665-S5186 are not installing properly. When I run the installer, it starts but then it never finishes. It basically loads the installer package and then stops. The only driver I can get installed is the System Driver. Am I installing the wrong drivers or is there a trick, or systematic installation path?
I do not have recovery media, or a recovery partition and I do not plan on buying recovery media since this should be solvable without recovery media.
Any ideas on how to get these drivers to install properly?
Already tried safe mode, safe mode with driver signatures disabled and compatibility mode for XP SP2 and SP3.

As a small update...
I was able to use WinRAR and extract each driver seperately, but I am still missing my LAN, Ethernet, Video, PCI Device and Unknown Device drivers. I have no idea exactly which driver to install for these, but have tried many of the ones listed. Maybe some insight into which drivers I need exactly would be nice too. Then I could try the WinRAR method.
Thanks ahead of time for any replies!

Satellite A665 - Create Recovery Data on External Hard Drive

Hi
I recently purchased my Satellite A665 and I am trying to create my Recovery Data on an external hard drive instead of CD's or DVD's. I am using Recovery Media Creator and it's not recognizing the attached Hard Drive in the USB and keeps asking me to attach the USB Flash memory. Anyone else having this problem or suggestions??
Bettina

I double clicked on the icon (under Finder/Devices). My choices are: Open, Open Enclosing Folder, Eject Free Agent Go Flex Drive, Get Info, Remove from Sidebar. Do you have any other suggestions?
I also tried double clicking on icon, then going to File. Only choice was "New Smart Folder".

Satellite A665-S6065 Cannot install latest display driver

There is a newer driver on the Toshiba Dowload page (v197.91 5-28-2010).
I can download it, unzip it, but when I try to install it I get the following error:
"the nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware"
..and the installation closes.
Help?

Satellite A665-S6065
You are referring to this driver?
nVidia Display Driver
Try booting into Safe Mode for the installation. That way the replaced driver is not in memory.

I can't install the drivers on Satellite A665

Hi every body,
I have a problem with my new Satellite A665 laptop.
I downloaded TV tuner driver but I can't install it on my computer but every time when Im trying to install it the computer ask me the security question and I agree on that.
After that the extraction for the installation file happened and suddenly something like owl pic appear for a moment and disappear after that without install anything.
The same thing happened when I tried to install the 3D staff that I downloaded from Toshiba site on my computer.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you

> I paied my new laptop and open its cartoon, and switch it on, and just click on next...next, after that the windows 7 start to work.
Exactly. Every new Toshiba notebook is preinstalled with Toshiba recovery image and this recovery image contains all necessary drivers, tools and utilities so it is not necessary to install anything.
>... I did't pay any CD and install the windows from it.
I dont understand this sentence. Fact is that new notebooks are delivered without any installations CD/DVD discs. You must create recovery DVD alone. How to do this is described in users manuals document. Check it out.
Sorry but I must ask you now: what is your problem now?

Satellite A665 - S6086 HDMI help needed

Hello, I have scoured the forums and attempted to upgrade drivers to no avail. My specs:
Satellite A665-S6086
Trying to connect to an HP ZR30w monitor
using a Cable Matters DisplayPort to HDMI cable
Some background, I recently had to replace the hard drive and re-install windows (windows 7 - 64bit) I have re-installed the Intel display driver and tried to re-install the HDMI control manager driver. I kind of get the feeling the control manager doesn't install properly, it doesn't gvie me a completion message the way the other drivers did.

The order of driver installation matters. Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 73 of the User's Guide.

Satellite A665-14G - FN key not working

Hi,
I recently bought a Satellite A665-14G, everything was working fine.
Then suddenly the next day of the purchase date, the keyboard was not illuminated.
So I pressed the FN + Z keys combination, and nothing happened.
I tried to press other FN key combinations and none worked.
So i'm assuming that the FN key is no longer working.
What could have caused this and how can I restore its functionality?

Hi
Do other FN + F buttons work correctly?
For example FN + F6, FN + F7 and so on.?
If yes then the FN buttons are OK and I think only the illumination has been disabled.
Usually in BIOS you can enable and disable the illumination.
Check this!
But if other FN buttons dont work, then you should reinstall the VAP (value added package) and Flash Card Support Utility.
Both tools can be downloaded from Toshiba driver page.

Satellite A665 shuts down randomly

Hello, I have a Satellite A665 laptop that I got in December of 2010. Over the course of summer and fall of 2011, it began intermittantly shutting down. Sometimes it would do it right on startup, other times in the middle of use...and then it would work fine for weeks on end and not shut down once. When November of 2011 rolled around it started shutting down at random more frequently, to the point where it would not stay on for longer than a minute before dying. I sent the laptop in for repairs, and the hard drive was replaced and the laptop sent back. A month later it began shutting down again, and this time completely died--it wouldn't even try to turn on. So I sent it back in and this time the motherboard was replaced, along with the hard drive again. All seemed to be good, but recently it started shutting down at random when I turned on the computer. I installed the latest Toshiba system pack update (which said it fixed system crashes upon startup) and the problem went away for a few days, but today my laptop has shut down twice for no apparent reason, both times while it was on screen saver/going off screen saver.
I know my laptop is not overheating, because I always use it on my desk, and additionally, it has the extended battery pack on it, so the bottom of the laptop is always slightly elevated above my desk, allowing plenty of ventilation. The fan never has to run on high. I also know this is not a virus, because I've done plenty of virus scans on my laptop and it always comes up virus free. Additionally, it has a BRAND NEW hard drive and motherboard.
I use my laptop intensively for college and I simply cannot afford to have it shutting down on me when I need it. Anyone know what is going on and if I can fix it? Naturally it's out of warranty now, and I can't exactly do without it at school to have it sent off and repaired.

First of all: Im glad that im not the only one suffering from this problem
Secondly: I opened up the bottom case and vaccuumed the laptop and then disabled hibernation/sleep mode.
this seemed to do the trick

Satellite A665-S6054: backlight keyboard and Fn+z accessibility

Hey guys i ran into one problem which then led to another
Firstly i have been doing updates to my computer but only recently have noticed that the Fn+z doesnt control my backlit keyboard any more
Seeing that all the other functions (that i know of) are working correctly i tried looking for online help to reactivate the key combo
finding accessibility on one of the forums.
So i went to Start -> Toshiba -> Utilities -> Accessibility
Then this error message appears +"Toshiba Accessibility Error. This system, cannot use "Toshiba Accessibility"+
Then i have to click OK..... nothing happens
So i searched the site many times for my Toshiba Satellite A665-S6054 drivers downloads ect.
One place it asks for the Serial # and it says something about it not being valid when i am sure that i enter it correctly
I have been messing around on the site for TOO LONG
Please hep

Hi
The Satellite A665-S6054 look like an US model.
Therefore the right driver page would be this:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp
I recommend also updating the BIOS since the BIOS controls the illumination.
You should also check if an VAP (value added package) update might help too

Toshiba satellite a665 bootmgr is missing

I have a toshiba satellite a665-s5170. I got a new hard drive in today, and when I put it in, it went to the restoring screen and got stuck at "copying files" for well over 4 hours. I thought it was stuck so I restarted it, bad idea. Now it's saying
"BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
I tried the 0 on start up, f8, and taking the hard drive out and putting it back in. It keeps saying the same thing. What should I do? I just put the old hard drive in and it worked perfectly, took me to the log-in screen and I was able to log in. I put the new one back in and it gave me the same error. Did I get a faulty hard drive?

Please see my reply to this message.

Right!
> Second i want to kno why i cant find Satellite with 14F With the model number PSAW3E-0N400WAR? because i found PSAW3E on 3 countries..
PSAW3E-0N400WAR number belongs to Satellite A665-14F. This model is released in Arabian region.
> Germany is one of them ,so should i download it from there and its will be the same ? because in Germany i Found 14F(PSAW3E-0NH00JGR) and mine is (PSAW3E-0N400WAR)
PSAW3E-0NH00JGR is also to Satellite A665-14F but this was released for German market.
> Second about the updates how should i install them ? they are Zip so should i Extract them and open the extracted file ?
You have to unzip the packages firstly and there should be a exe file which can be executed.

Satellite A665 randomly freezes

I've had this laptop (a Toshiba Satellite A665) for about three years now, running windows 7. It's never acted up until this problem started a few months back, in November of 2013. Randomly during use, it would freeze, and would require it to be physically shut off. The problem persisted for a month before I got a new hard drive (unrelated to the problem, I just happened to need more space is all). It worked fine for a maybe month or so before the problem started up again. Within the last few weeks it's become nearly inoperable.
The freezes come in different 'types'. Sometimes the screen will simply lock up and become unresponsive to any keyboard or mouse input. Other times, the display will actually go black. Whatever media was playing at the time of the freeze will pause and continue to play one sustained note until I shut it down. The timing is also very random; sometimes it will freeze after being on for a few hours, othertimes it will go into a fit and freeze five times in a minute, and a few times it doesn't even get to boot past the windows 7 loading screen before the screen blacks out.
I've taken the laptop in to the Microcenter nearby and they ran diagnostics and scans for three hours and were unable to find anything wrong. Just earlier today, I completely wiped the hard drive and re-installed windows 7 from scratch in hopes that it might fix it, but since then I've had the problem three times.
The problem does not seem to occur in safe mode. I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before, or has a suggestion for fixing it.

I took it apart a few days ago and cleaned out the heatsink and fan filter, as well as applied some new thermal paste. I know toshibas have a problem with overheating so I was thinking maybe it was a heating problem causing the shutdowns, but that didn't fix anything (besides the fact that my laptop now runs much cooler!) Still hoping someone can help me solve this.

Re: Satellite A665-13V - Cannot enable WLAN Funktion

Good morning,
I have the Toshiba Satellite A665-13V without the 3D function when I bought it was installed there on it Windows Vista operating system, I do not think much of Vista, I have the hard drive formatted immediately partitioned and Windows 7 Pro x64, including all new driver installed!
After about two days I have accidentally pressed any key and thus the internal wireless adapter disabled,
Now I am faced with the problem that I can not enable the feature!
The Toshiba Value Added Package, I had already installed in two different versions to get the function of the FN keys, but nothing happens when I press the FN + F8 key, all other FN commands remain untouched!
Does anyone of you how do you activate again specifically for this model, the internal wireless adapter?

Hi
Please check if Wlan card is visible in the device manager as suggested by Keany.
In case its visible, the Wlan driver was installed properly and the lack of FN+F8 functionality seem to be related to missing Toshiba software
You have installed only VAP (value added package)??
In this case you are missing the [Flash Cards Support Utility.|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=5383&selSh ortMod=987&language=13&selOS=30&selType=all&yearup load=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=al lMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=all &selectedLanguage=13&type=all&page=2&ID=75049&OSID =30&driverLanguage=42]
The Flash Cards Support Utility controls the FN buttons and needs to be installed next to the VAP.

Satellite A665 -127 Upgrading to Windows 8

Hi!
I want, to upgrade my Toshiba Satellite A665-127 to Windows 8. Please tell me, are there any problems with drivers or front panel utility buttons like Volume up etc?

Hi
Did you check the Toshiba EU driver page for Win 8 driver availability?
I did I chosen the Satellite A665 series and did not find any Win 8 drivers.
So you will have to collect the drivers at your own hand!
This might be little bit annoying. But even if some drivers are not available for A665, you will be able to use Win 8

Satellite A665-S6054 OS reload???

uh, don’t laugh but instead of throwing away a 4-5yo Toshiba Satellite with an i5 that wouldn’t start (dead hard drive per tech support), I bought a new hard drive recently to do a quick fix so that I could give it to my mom. I now realize that I never had an OS recovery disk (it came pre-installed) to move forward with using it. Any suggestions before I burn more money I don't have towards trying to get it running again or do I just suck it in and toss it? Thanks!
