• Satellite Pro M70-275 - where is the lid switch?

  Hei,

  I have problem with backlight in my laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro M70-275). I think that the problem will be solved completely if I find where is the button of the cover.

  I hope someone can help and guide me to the location of the switch.

  Hello

  Are you sure that the problem is the lid switch? Normally if the backlight doesn t work on the screen inverter FL needs to be replaced.
  What happens if you connect an external monitor to the laptop? You see an image?

  The FL switch is normally placed under the cover of the display. It s a little trickier to Exchange because it is necessary to remove the plastic cover of the screen.
  Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help.

• Satellite Pro M70-275 slower than the Satellite M70-110?

  Hello

  A couple of weeks ago, I bought a portable Satellite M70-110, with Centrino 1.7 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM. Last week, this computer got stolen from my apartment. (Damn them thieves low-life..)
  I wanted to buy exactly the same model again, but he could not find anywhere. Instead, I bought a Satellite Pro M70-275 because he seems to be pretty much the same thing, with a great 2 GHz. processor, it's going to be a little faster then, I thought.
  The problem is that it feels like the new is slower; I don't understand why. No more slow, as when you are working with graphics heavy, cause I don't have, but slower at startup, when this regime between programs and so on.

  The old used XP Home Edition, the new one XP Pro. This could be the problem; XP Pro requires more RAM?

  The old man had an ATI Radeon x 700, the new a x600se, but I can't imagine that this could make a difference with the applications that I am running.
  I use a Soundblaster PCIMCA card in the new. This could be a problem?

  Any ideas appreciated!

  Hello

  As much as I know there is not much difference between WXP Home and Pro, and I think that the use of the PCMCIA card. Try to turn off the sound in the BIOS and also disable it in Device Manager.

  Hey

  Im having a problem, I can not update my bios, I downloaded the right bios file, but when I try to update I get a bsod just until it begins to Flash the bios.

  The biosfile I downloaded is:

  ARKive

  Its the bios 1.70 for win xp

  IM also of problems with my sound, I downloaded the rather and installed, but there is no sound.

  IM using Windows XP SP3

  Concerning
  Lars

  Hello

  BIOS update is necessary? Or what is the intention to update the BIOS?
  Usually if you have some serious problems, the BIOS isn't essential update

  With regard to the sound:
  You can solve the problem in Windows XP, install the KB888111 and KB835221 hotfix before you install the audio driver.

• "Unreliable" start with Windows XP Pro (Satellite Pro M70-275)

  Hello friends,

  I've owned my Toshiba laptop for a few months now; I did one or two scans to clean and reinstalled the operating system but have not experienced any problems until recent days. All of a sudden one day the computer don't boot. The Toshiba screen as usual, then just a black screen. On the next attempt, I got a screed of text explaining that Windows could not start normally again, and some options how do this time (mode IE safe mode, safe mode without network etc...)
  I chose the option "Normal startup"; It worked, but now I need to try several times before Windows starts in fact normally.

  What happens here? Operating system works very well once it is up and running, but it's kind of fear whenever he does not start without effort. I'm trying to save my data just in case...

  Should I reinstall? Want to avoid a month or to and install Vista in place... :)

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Believe me, it is not possible to say what the problem is here, but if you are able to boot OS somehow try to restore the operating system on time earlier (before this strange issue started) by using the System Restore tool.

  Maybe this will help!

  By the way: on my Satellite M70-159 Vista works fine!

• Satellite Pro M70-275: screen doesn't work after waking up from hibernation.

  Hello

  I sometimes encounter this problem: when starting the hibernation (not sure of the English term, although that. "light sleep" mode in WinXP...) the screen turns on again. The operating system seems to be up and running again, but I really don't know because I do not...
  Sometimes it works fine, but I would like that it works all the time.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Will there be the same situation after waking from sleep mode?

  James is right. Usually, this kind of questions is fixed with the new version of the BIOS, but you can also try installing the latest version of Power saver utility.

  If anything maybe you must reinstall the OS using supplied recovery DVDs.

• Re: Satellite Pro M70 - high utilization of the processor - low Performance

  I sincerely hope that someone can help you. I do not consider myself really computer illiterate, but this is where my understanding ends and I really value any assistance.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 for 2 years and I'm a final Defender to Toshiba. However, my operating system is slow. Average day use with Internet Explorer and Office 2007 is a laborious process that takes too much time. I have had conflicts with Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, that works perfectly.

  But turn on the computer takes forever. The CPU usage is generally high and System Idle process as well. I reinstalled Windows XP from the Boot Toshiba DVD already 4 times to nine and install everything over and over again. Each time after all to speed once again, performance is disappointing.

  I expanded RAM to 1.49 GB that makes little difference from the original 1/3 of RAM. It seems that something is slowing down the computer, but it is not visible in the process; but a certain process of svhost.exe who have the ability to handle little or the CPU usage.

  I've used Windows Gold Certified Uniblue Power Suite with a good registry cleaner. This helps a little, but after a few days, it seems only make it worse. I have a processor Intel Pentium M 1.73 GHz. search online reveals that Trend Micro IS 2008 is pretty good and demanding little capacity compared to the competing security packages.

  Is this system/software related or it could be a hardware problem?

  Thanks in advance to all!

  Hello

  I doubt that it could be a hardware problem, I mean a CPU usage can get if a certain service or applications would be run in the background of the OS.

  Generally, Antivirus applications are a kind of software that could cause this problem I had a Norton System works installed on my laptop and this software needs a lot of resources that slowed down the laptop
  In addition, some applications of Toshiba which are installed and running in the background may affect performance. But these applications are required to be able to use all the features of the laptop

  However, in msconfig you could disable.
  Launch msconfig-> Startup tab and disable some processes that are not necessary for you.

  In addition, you can use the CCleaner to clean the registry and operating system

• Question about Vista performance on satellite Pro M70

  I was wondering if anyone knew a lot about the performance of vista. For example, if you run a game under vista it run worse than in Xp because the operating system uses more than the power of the computer?

  Hello

  For two weeks, I use Windows Vista on my Satellite Pro M70. The laptop is not Vista capable, but I am very satisfied. It works very well. I tried to install and play older games like Far Cry and IGI2. It works perfectly without any problems.

  The set comes with 512 MB of RAM. As I said it works well, but I think that it will work much better with more RAM. I think I'll buy another 1 GB module. With 1.5 GB of RAM, I believe that the unit will operate like a rocket. :)

  Which laptop model you have?

• Satellite Pro M70: The game performance with Vista and Intel 915GM graphics card

  I have a satellite Pro M70 1.73Ghz with 768 MB of RAM.
  Although many would condemn the 915GM chipset (with graphic GMA900) as garbage, I was surprised to find on XP it can run quite a few games like Need for Speed Underground 2.
  I've heard some bad comments on the chipset with vista, and I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows if I'll get the same kind of performance 3D with vista or not.

  Hey guys

  You have a Mobile Intel 915GM 8MB - 128 MB shared memory graphics memory. What do you expect?
  Check on the Microsoft website, the terms of Vista!

  It s not a graphics card performance and the games will not work with fast performance under XP and not Vista OS.

  Expect too buddy!

• Satellite Pro M70 - what HARD drive can you recommend?

  I have Satellite Pro M70 and I have a 60GB HDD that I see what it s SATA 8 MB of buffer memory. The processor it s 1.73 GHz. I see that there is the Samsung typical 160 GB and the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 160 GB at the same price, which is better?

  And for only $ 11 more there's a Scorpio blue Western digital 320 with even 8 MB buffer than other 2. But I don t think so 320, that's a lot for Satellite Pro M70, and I have an external drive 2.5 "250 GB, data with this is not problem.

  What the best solution for this laptop? I don t want to burn now the phone LOL.

  Thank you

  Hello

  If your laptop is already equipped with SATA interface, you can use each HDD with SATA1 or SATA2 port on the new SATA interface there is no limit on the old standard IDE

  It s your choice what HARD drive you buy because I put t know your needs, but in my opinion it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive. All hard drives are similar and there is no significant difference (performance).
  I made good experiences with Western Digital and Hitachi hard drives.

  By the way: you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 rpm or 5400.rpm. Latter is faster but requires more power. In my opinion, this is useful if you often work with large files.

• Satellite Pro M70-113 does not start up - it hangs at the logo screen

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite pro m70-113.

  Sometimes when my laptop turns off mode standby automatically, due to inactivity and then if I press a key on the keyboard to wake up nothing happens and I have no other choice but to it stop completely by pressing the button for 5 seconds.
  But when I restart it works well, that is to say, it starts very well.

  But today, when it is in a similar situation, I restarted the laptop, the screen move after the logo screen toshiba. I have the power on several times, but without success. It crashes just on screen toshiba logo.

  After a few restart I pressed ESC while restarting and the toshiba logo changed to the texts POST bios screen.
  And I found that the text will not go forward after having reached:
  Find disk 0:
  Maybe default feel HDD initialization...
  The captured image is here:
  http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/9986/image007sp2.jpg

  Note: this is a capture when, I don't know how the system has just begun works very well and can be seen that the HARD drive is detected normally this time. While the earlier version, it will not proceed after having reached "Found Disk 0:

  So, the problem is that at the time of the problem, the hard drive was not read / initialized or something like that.

  And I remember that when I tried to reboot my laptop and it did not work. It was running on battery and when I switched power supply that worked.

  So it is a problem that has been fixed in a bet to update BIOS, but for another laptop (see laufendspass post) his link on this forum is here:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=13143&MessageID=48143

  And my current bios version is 1.1 and an update is available for v1.30... (But I have not yet updated)

  Another problem I had met some time was same this post mentions to be corrected during the update of the bios.
  i.e. "corrected: a computer that is turned on to State power and running on battery power, may crash if the user is connected to the AC adapter while it is start.»

  So, for this, all mean that these problems can be solved by an update of the bios v1.30 which is available for my Satellite m70-113?

  Please answer.

  Hi Ashish,

  The fact that the initial POST process cannot access your hard disk suggests you that there is a possible problem with the drive, maybe he is not in place correctly when power is applied to it. The contents of the disc should be OK, then I suggest you take a good backup of your system (or at least your personal data) If you manage to get your notebook to boot successfully.

  I do not think that an update of the BIOS will affect any on that since the problem does not seem to have a certain 'trigger', and if the BIOS cannot access the hard disk then no matter what version of BIOS you are using.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro M70 and chariging problems

  Hello everyone,

  I wonder if anyone can help me with my problem, my Satellite Pro M70 sometimes does not load when I put the charger into the socket, if I out of the power supply and leave it for 2 days I have costs for a period of time up to 20 hours, and then did the same thing.

  I tried to turn it on without the battery, to check whether the problem is with him, but he turns. So this led me to believe the problem isn t the battery.

  Can anyone help?

  > have tried to turn it on without the battery, to check if the problem is with him, but it won't turn
  You mean the power of t n for laptop up connected to the sector, but without battery plugged in?

  Hmmm, to me this looks like a bit of a problem with AC adapter or an electrical problem of power offers the Board of Directors. As you probably knew that, it is really difficult to provide suggestions without touching the laptop.

  First of all, you can check if the machine uses latest BIOS. If this isn't the case, update the BIOS.
  Check if the laptop would go also without battery and only connected to the network.

  If this does not work, then the adapter should be verified.
  If the AC adapter is ok, then, the motherboard must be verified

• Satellite Pro M70: DDR2 memory matching question

  I have a Satellite Pro M70 (model PSM76E-00500KEN) with 512 MB of RAM in a housing and want to upgrade to 1 GB or more. I plan to put a 1 GB module in the slot to spare, but reading that there is sometimes a performance advantage of the installation of modules of DDR2 in pairs. Can someone tell me if there is any advantage to have the correspondence of the modules into the two slots of the Satellite Pro M70? Or, in other words, is there any reason not to run 1 GB in a slot and 512 MB in the other?

  Hello

  Dual channel DDR involves the use of memory modules DDR 2 to double bandwidth memory. The memory modules DDR themselves are no different. The only requirement is that the controller memory on the motherboard supports this interface dual channel.

• Satellite Pro M70 usually power up when the AC

  Hello

  I bought my dad a Satellite Pro M70 for his birthday and it was used for about 3 months. All of a sudden without any reason that it not power up if it is not connected to the AC. The battery registers itself as 100% charged.

  When on AC, everything is fine no problem.

  But when it is not plugged into the AC, it lights. When put under tension however you can unplug the AC and it will all work very well again.

  Any ideas?

  Should I try a BIOS update? or does anyone have any other suggestions?

  Thank you
  Martine

  Hello

  This problem appears at the beginning?
  Sounds a bit like electroninc power supply malfunction and in this case, you should always ask the service provider to Toshiba for assistance.
  Don t worry, seems, the guarantee is valid and each procedure must be done for free.

  But I m interesting if this will help you:
  Please, try to disable powerplay in the properties of the graphics card and do not set the CPU at low speed in Toshiba Power Saver mode fixed.
  Check this option.

• Upgrade Vista on Satellite Pro M70

  I have the disc Step By Step Business Express Upgrade DVD-ROM and updated and intend to install it on my Satellite Pro M70. The M70 is not among the list of computers.
  Where should I go from here?

  Ian

  Hello

  I m bit confused.
  What do you mean bythe M70 is not among the list of computers?

  You can perform the installation of Vista Express Upgrade or you can just install from the original CD of Microsoft Vista.
  This should be no problem! All Toshiba Vista need drivers and tools are published on the page of the Toshiba driver and all internal portable devices should be recognized as well.

  If you missed something or what?
