Satellite A665 SP6004M Error:f3-f100-003

Hi.
Last Sunday I tried to upgrade the Nvidia driver for the GeForce GT330M that is in my laptop. As the progress bar goes on I barely move the laptop probably drag it half an inch over the table, after that the HDD Protection pop-up window came on and the laptop hang for 10-15 minutes; the Nvidia driver installation hang and the system became unresponsive, after this the installation conclude and restart my system, when windows log off and shut down last thing I saw was a brief BSOD.
When restart, the laptop look for external media to boot up because it can't found any HDD, so turn off and on the laptop again, and when the boot process starting appear a message who say Insert Windows CD to repair the system. So I went for the Recovery CD who came along with the laptop when new. Inserted the disc and change the boot order in the F12 menu, when the System recovery was starting a new window appear saying Error:f3-f100-003. And from there, the HDD was unable to read or sometimes the Bios doesn't even recognize him.
Yesterday bought a new HDD, one of these _http://storage.toshiba.com/storagesolutions/pc-notebook/mkxx76gsx-series _ and made a new clean install of Windows, which was fast and problem free, installed the respective drivers and everything was fine.
But today, when I restart the system, the error came again, after that I was able to start windows normally next time. So I think that is something wrong with other component, maybe the Bios, or even worse, the mainboard. I'm afraid of continue using the laptop because probably break the new HDD again. What can I do? Downgrade bios?
Thanks in advance.

Here's your latest BIOS.
ACPI Flash BIOS version 2.30 for Satellite A660/A665 (PSAW0U/PSAW3U)(v2.30; 01-12-2012; 6.77M)
However, it could be a failed component. You might want to have it serviced.

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.

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.

You have to unzip the packages firstly and there should be a exe file which can be executed.

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.
Start your computer in safe mode

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".

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.

Satellite A665-S6086
Downloads here.
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.

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!

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

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.

Trying to use system recovery but getting error f3-f100-f001

My computer currently will not start in anything but safe mode(starting normally will not load computer), so I'm trying to restore my computer to its factory defaults. However whenever I choose the Repair Your Computer option after pressing F8 at startup, I get the error f3-f100-f0010 which forces my laptop to shut down. I was getting blue screens before this happened so I believe my OS driver (Windows 7)is corrupted. How would I be able to fix this error and reinstall my OS? The Model No. of my computer is PSK2LU-001003 Toshiba Satelite, by the way.

That sounds like it's having trouble with the hard drive. Try performing a recovery by holding '0' (zero) while booting the laptop.

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.
