If it doesnt beep then you have a problem with your RAM or your motherboard. Try reseat your RAM first.

    I reset my RAM, and it doesn't beep too.

    You must understand that we are going through steps of elimination. 1st, replace your RAM. that first beep when you turn on your pc is the pc checking your RAM. No beep = faulty RAM

When I had something very similar with my Toshiba C660 to what you are experiencing, it turned out to be that the hard drive was failing. I had it replaced and my repair shop was able to save all my data.

SOURCE: need to update bios toshiba satellite c660,using ubuntu live dvd, will not boot hard drive, all normal recovery options used up

Hi There,
There are currently no easy ways to update a bios through linux at all - including live cd's. Your best bet is to make a bios update USB stick (or floppy depending on the age of the computer)
Here's a link to those instructions:
http://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-boot-usb-stick.htm
Alternatively, speaking from my own experience with a similar situation, you can take the hard drive out, use it in place of the usb stick, boot from it, update your bios, and go from there.

Testimonial: "Matt, exactly what I have been searching for, I am well advanced in years so will take me a while to configure this, I found the update OK but was a problem choosing the utility. WELL DONE & MANY THANKS Jim"

You need your Vista disk to re-install Vista.

If you don't want to go to the expense, download and install Ubuntu, its a free opterating system and now on version 10.4, its pretty good.

Toshiba satellite c660 stuck on windows splash

hi K Smith.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that may help in identifying the issue.
- Start by doing a hard reboot, remove the battery and unplug its AC adapter then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds and see if it will boot up.
- If these will not work remove the HDD then boot it up and see if it will still get stuck at the BIOS screen or not.
- If it doesn't get stuck on BIOS and boot onto a black screen that means it's the HDD that is faulty.
- If it does get stuck on BIOS even without the HDD that means it's the motherboard that is faulty.
- Last trick you can try is to remove the CMOS battery for a second then put it back in.
- If all these will not work you'll need to send it for a repair if its still under the factory warranty
or.
1) Unplug the power cord --> Remove the battery --> Hold the power button for

60 seconds --> Connect the power supply then try to switch ON the laptop and

later put the battery back into the laptop.

2) If the problem still exists then get it checked out.

My laptop screen is not working on satellite c660-2q8

Has their been any damage? Dropped? Will the laptop boot? Fan spins? LED's Blink? Battery Charge light on? Remove ALL media, DVD,CD,USB, unplug, remove battery, plug in , reboot, discribe what happens, anything? Nothing? If the laptop boots and you can see a "ghost image" in a bright light, it may be a switch, if you connect to a external monitor, does it show desktop? Need more info.

Locked keybroad toshiba satellite C660

Try booting in safe mode and see if the keyboard is locked. Maybe the keyboard is bad.

Turn off the computer, then hit the power button to turn itback on and immediately start hitting the F8 key repeatedly until you see SAFEMODE. Take the Safe Mode option and let it boot up. Safe Mode will lookdifferent to you, the screen will be darker and the icons bigger, this isnormal.

Bios boot screen comes up

Bios Boot Screen? OK, You don't boot from the Bios, the Bios has settings to let you control where to boot from the Hard Drive, the DvD/CD drive, the USB Port or a LAN (Local Area Network). So, what exactly is your screen showing when you press the Power Button to boot it?
