Satellite a665-s6086 problemw/ vid

Hello,
I'm having an issue w/ our Toshiba.A full restore fixed the issue for a while but it came back. I was updating various firefox plug-ins. After the problem started, I tried to uninstall the updates one by one, but nothing helped. Restoring it again as I type this...
Here are videos of the problem.
I did update the bios.

Laptop is just over one year old. Any help is appreciated.

Wild! The videos are *much better than trying to explain that, lol. Maybe it's the touchpad? That cursor looks like it's tabbing around the screen so maybe there's a keyboard issue? But take a look at this thread for touchpad issues. Toshiba probably uses the same parts in a variety of models. :-)

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.

Increasing Dedicated Video RAM? (Intel HD Graphics - Satellite A665-S6086)

My Satellite A665-S6086 Laptop uses Intel HD Graphics, and I wish to increase the dedicated video RAM.
Through dxdiag, it says I have 1696MB of Approximate Total Memory, but I only use 64Mb according to: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/CYRI/analysis.aspx?name=The-Elder-Scrolls-V:-Skyrim&id=11231&se...
I went into the BIOS Setup -> Advanced, but was unable to find anything to alter the amount of Video RAM.
If anybody has a solution to this, please share it.
Thanks,
Chibichuba.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

...But you are not able to with the stock Toshiba motherboard....
Then you still cannot do it unless you replace the whole motherboard.

White Screen on Satellite A665-S6086

I bought this laptop about a year ago. About a month ago, the laptop screen started turning white for no reason, randomly. It could be in the middle of the laptop being used or at boot.
Does anyone know what problem this is? Is this the driver, or the display chip itself? How do I fix this problem?
What so disappointing is how this happens while the laptop is still fairly new and not abused at all? I did a search and found out there are other people having the same issue. Is this a product quality issue?
I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars sending it in to Toshiba repair center for repair, the warranty just expired a couple months ago. I'd rather go buy another laptop, and I'm sure not to buy another Toshiba again.

I had the same problem IN November 2011. Toshiba had me reset to factory settings refusing to repair until December. I got it back right before the warranty expired. They repaired video wire. Two weeks after warranty was up it started again. Now the computer is just about useless. It is more whitescreen than functioning. Any videos white screen it. Startup, shut down, random.
I too must now either pay for something they supposedly fixed or buy a new computer which to me will also NOT be a Toshiba.

Satellite A665-S6086 screen is blank

The keyboard got wet but not liquid appears to have gotten to the main board it all stayed in the keyboard. When I turn the PC on, I had a screen but now whenever I turn it on the screen is blank and nothing ever shows up. I have disconnected the battery and power plug, but that doesn't help. My question is, if the keyboard is toast, will the screen not turn on unless I replace the keyboard with a new one?

The keyboard and screen should not be related, except the spill could have done more damage than expected. Important things to do when you spill is to disconnect all power, including the AC power cord and the battery. Afterwards, tilt, turn and gently shake anything else off of the computer. Leave the computer in a warm room for a couple days and let it dry out.
The worst things to spill on your computer are soda, beer and those cappuccino/frappachino mocha grande things from those coffee shops.
Hook up an external monitor and keyboard to your computer and see if you can get video on the external monitor. You're going to need to replace the keyboard anyway, might as well let the tech see what's going on with the screen too. It might be something simple or something that will make you consider getting the computer replaced too. But you won't know if you don't get it checked out.

Toshiba A665-S6086 Wi-Fi & Audio Problems

Hello,
I have a Toshiba A665-S6086 computer and I'm having issues with the Wi_Fi and Audio. When using the computer sometimes the Wi-Fi will randomly turn itself off, and I will get a message saying that that Hardware Radio Switch has been turned off. Well the problem is of course, it turning off by itself. Other times it will turn on and off in rapid succession and a loud ringing noise will follow until it has either shut itself off or the Wi-Fi reconnects. I have installed the latest drivers, checked for viruses/spyware. Cleaned the registry, and made sure it's not anything along those lines causing the problem. I have tried other fixes as well but I'm not the most tech savvy person around and nothing I do seems to work. Any insight or help with this matter would be appreciated.

....I have installed the latest drivers...
You've installed the the latest drivers from where? If it was from Windows Update, or directly from the chipmakers, this may well be the source of your problems. You should only use the hardware drivers from your model's Toshiba download page.
Click on 'Start', type in dev , click on 'Device Manager', click on the arrow beside 'Network adapters', what is the exact name of your WiFi/Wireless device? Also, click on the arrow beside 'Sound, video and game controllers', what is the exact name of your audio/sound device (not HDMI)?

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 - 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".

Can anyone help me find a list of the ESSENTIAL drivers I need for a Toshiba Satellite A665-S6065?

Long story short: My Toshiba Satellite A665-S6065 won’t boot.
♥ I tried the Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Recovery Disk.
♥ I tried the Toshiba Windows 7 x64 Home Premium OEM Recovery Environment
♥ I tried turning off the computer & holding down “0” until it beeps & enters the Recovery Partition.
♥ I tried turning off the computer & F8 to enter the Recovery Partition.
I've tried everything that anyone has told me to do...
So I “acquired” a Windows 7 x64 Home Premium OEM & tried to install from scratch when the message “No drivers found. Please insert/search for drivers to install before proceeding” came up or something close to that.
I need to reinstall Windows 7 x64 Home Premium OEM and the OEM disk I have isn't Toshiba Specific so it is asking for Drivers in order to install. Can anyone help me locate a list of the SPECIFIC DRIVERS I need to just get the OS in?
I've been to the Download Page for Satellite A665-S6065 but there are so many duplicate drivers, I'd be downloading all night!
[admin edit for Terms of Service violation]

The system is under warranty.
Send it in for repair.

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-S6050 Windows 7 Home Premium Memory Upgrade will not boot

Hope there might be a clue to assist.
Checked Toshiba support for recommended memory to upgrade from 2X2GB to 2X4GB. Ordered Kingston KTT-S3BS/4G x 2 as recommended. BIOS recognizes the memory, but Windows will not boot. Tried Safe Mode and hangs after a few seconds. Tried Repair Computer, also hangs after a few seconds. Put original memory back in and it boots fine. There was a brief flash of a blue screen once, but no dump file to be found.
To me it seems as ifthe issue is Windows, but I do not know enough about this to say definitively. Just based on the percieved behavior when Windows trys to boot (hanging).
Any ideas appreciated before I go through return and try something else.
Thanks.

he ordered from Toshiba and there memory did not work ... the kit he ordered was the one recommended for his laptop from Toshiba and ordered from Toshiba
Yes he did. But he ordered the Kingston memory that Toshiba recommended as he said...
Checked Toshiba support for recommended memory to upgrade from 2X2GB to 2X4GB. Ordered Kingston KTT-S3BS/4G x 2 as recommended. ... I tried both of the Kingston modules recommended and neither worked.
I'm suggesting that he try the Toshiba part number (PA3677U-1M4G) suggested in the spec, which is made by Axiom.

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 Recovery? Big Mistake

Did a recovery using the recovery disk that came with my Desk Top.
Have had the Laptop for like 3+ years and can't seem to find a recovery disc for the Laptop, Not ever sure one came with it.
So right now I have my laptop all messed up with the wrong system disc.
Did my laptop come with a recovery disc? If not what can I do to get my Desktop off the Laptop? It is working okay but not sure that I am not giving up performance this way. Desktop is like 5 years old I think
PS Running Windows 7.
