Blue screen on Satellite Pro M70

Hello

I had problems with my computer a bit recently, I get the blue screen of death and also when I take the power cord from the laptop then the computer shuts down.

With the blue screen I just today re-installed windows to see what is happening. Still, I get the same code to stop... we have something wrong with NTFS, and the other is the RAM apparently.

If someone has had this problem with the M70 and what precautions should I take? Or send it back to Toshiba?

Thank you

James!

Hello

What graphics card is installed in the laptop you? Possibly an ATI X 600?
I read in this forum that ff the AC adapter is unplugged can lock the system and the screen goes dark. It seems to be related to a bug in the video driver.
You can try to disable the powerplay in the properties of the ATI mobility radeon x 600 and do not set the CPU at low speed in GST in fixed mode.

But this will help only with graphics ATI X 600 card specifications

However, contact with the partner service in your country is always a good idea because the guys have great experience and could provide more ordinary details as a user like you and me.

  • Error blue screen on Satellite Pro A10

    Hello

    I try to help my in-laws with their SPA10 Pro Satellite. I had set this up for them a few months ago and it was working fine.
    Now it reboots about two seconds after the "use last good configuration ' screen etc, gets to the screen again then restarts immediately to infinity, never a break on error message for long enough to see what he says.
    I managed to boot from the Windows XP home and got disc with respect to the repair or continue with the installation screen. When I asked the computer don't either TI stuck on blue screen almost immediately. The error message is
    STOP: 0X000000C5 (0X00000002, 0X00000001, 0X00000000, 0X8082B98B)

    This is beyond my skill level, someone can help?
    Thank you

    Hello

    It is not easy to tell what the problem is here and what your in-laws have made with this device. Try to start the machine in safe mode by pressing F8 at the beginning upward. What unit starts check a bit if some strange software is installed.

    If there is no important data, I advise you to install the new OS. On this way, you will be sure that it is not because of software. If the problem persists then is the question is more complicated and there may be a hardware failure.

    At the moment I can't tell you more. Try to make the clean OS install and post again on the results.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - stopped screen lights

    Hello

    My Toshiba Satellite PRO M70 screen lights.
    I don't know why, but sometimes when the screen is broken and I put it up it turns on, but after a few seconds it stops.

    It started a few days without something strange in my pc like hitting or something like that.
    I tried to connect an external display and it works weell.

    Anyone know why it cant pass or how fix it?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The Fn keys work?
    You can increase the display button narrowly by using the FN + F7 combination?

    Please also check the energy saving profile.
    Maybe the display brightness is set to a lower value in the power saver profile.

    But if you will not find anything unusual in the settings of the software, so I guess that the brightness display problem is related to the failure of inverter FL.
    The FL inverter controls the brightness of the screen, and this part needs to be replaced.

  • 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 - screen is blank

    Hey guys,.

    Have had my Satellite Pro M70 for more than a year now and never gave me any problems before. On about 3 times now, the screen disappeared all of a sudden completely gray and white and stays that way, unless I restart and is so very well.

    Appears to be spontaneous, can't everyday and not even aware if his reason leaving for a long time.

    Ive noticed that more than half of the screen flashes from time to time but don't know if it's because it's on during a long period or heat related but only started to do this recently.

    It just seems to be a problem with the monitor, like running programs under were unaffected (IE if I was running MSN messenger and the screen went gray, I could still type messages, etc just not see them!).

    Have the latest graphics driver for my Intel knowledge: 6.14.10.4363, don't know if it could be a problem with the card? Hepatitis a lot of free hard disk space, seeking to increase the ram (currently 512) suggestions?

    Hello

    I am very happy that I don't have these problems on my Satellite M70. I recommend you test your laptop connected to an external display to see if the symptoms are the same. If so, I fear that there is a problem with the graphics card.

    On the RAM, can I just say that your laptop can handle with max 2 GB RAM and compatible RAM modules are:
    512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
    1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G)

  • Satellite Pro M70: projection screen has a bad wobble

    Using a Satellite Pro M70 with a model of multimedia projector Sanyo PLC-XF41, the image on the projector screen has a bad deflection, as if the refresh rate was wrong. Have you checked the laptop shows the parameters - can anyone help please?

    Hello

    As far as I know it of not possible to change the refresh rate.
    In addition if the projector doesn't work properly, you must change the recovery settings.
    Try this option. I read that in most cases, this procedure allows.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - where to get a recovery disk?

    I have a very old Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 and I got the blue screen of death, I was not able to find my spare drive.

    I used another drive of another brand of computer and my laptop runs, but I have problems with the Wi - Fi and audio and photo card reader
    Any ideas how I can get hold of a good drive, Toshiba cant help rescue me because the computer is old.

    Thank you very much

    Peter

    Hey Buddy,

    I think you need to install the proper drivers because the other recovery disk contains bad drivers. Simply visit the Web from Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Also Toshiba you can t get a recovery disk. You will need to contact an authorized service provider.

  • 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.

    THX

    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 - 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.

    On my desktop with XP, it works... I can set it up in preferences shortcut on the screen.

  • Satellite Pro M70-113: cannot install Vista graphics driver and lines appears on the display

    Hello

    I have satellite pro m70-113 with ati x 700 graphics card.

    When I installed vista, he installed the default drivers for the x 700 'mobility radeon x 700-microsft Corp.-WDDM '.

    I've updated the display drivers for vista, that released by toshiba 2 days back... but the driver is not updated to the latest version, only the catalyst control center is installed when I ran the update of the driver of toshiba.

    The problem is that whenever I put my laptop in standby or hibernation and resume... the screen shows thin lines vertical/horizontal... and I can't use the laptop... and I have to still put the system to sleep, just to hope that it is not blocking the screen this time...

    This problem is 25% of the time only when resume...

    This problem is not resolved by the update driver for toshiba has released a few days back... as is not installs the drivers (I can't even install the drivers with the option "update drivers" of Device Manager and select file driver update from toshiba.) It says windows find new driver, but could not install the driver... Contact the manufacturer...)

    This snap shows the problem... : http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2783/12042007366copyod1.jpg

    I updated the driver from an earlier version of catalyst, as it is downloaded from the ati site before that toshiba has released the update... this time it updates some 8. XXX version but the screen problem remains...

    Second, this update of the driver leaves me not sleep my system... the process starts for a sleep, but go back to the locked screen without making sleep ever... so I have no choice to get stuck with the default Windows... drivers having only the problem of the screen... and not the problem of sleep...

    Anyone here with a solution?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I have Satellite M70-159 and I noticed the same thing several times. For most Vista works well but I don't remember cases in which the described problem occurs. I was just curious on M70 Vista and have had no time to intensive testing.

    Anyway, it will be interesting to know if you have already updated the BIOS to the latest version 5.10. If this is not the case to do this and watch carefully if the problem persists.

  • Satellite Pro M70 and (not) working with projector

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro M70 (model PSM76E-00100KEN), and when I connect it to all a projector, it appears via the projector is the image of the office.

    The laptop continues to work OK, but the projected image never changes the background image I have on the laptop.

    On the power of the laptop Windows XP logo comes at a time, but then other changes of the display appear on the laptop.

    It has ATI mobility Radeon X600SE graphics card. This card allows 2 screens and when I activate it it starts flashing number 1 on the cell phone and number 2 on the projector, but still shows only WinXP only on the laptop.

    Any ideas on how to get the two to work together?
    Thank you

  • Satellite Pro M70-273: feature of the Express Media Player feature

    Two weeks ago, I bought a Pro Satellite Toshiba M70-273 'Limited Edition' (?). The model number is PSM76E-00J00QDU, SPM76, model name, production date 2006-02-21. According to the specs I found in the online user manual or in a folder with the publication references
    «TEG October 2005, art.» N0. DSSSPM70 10/05NLBE', there is a 'Express media feature' 'on some selected models "...

    It is not clear if yes or no, the model that I bought it. I have an of CD/DVD "button that I use to run my built-in dvd player (WinDVD for example), but it does not work as it appears as 'a disc standalone player' who plays a dvd (movie) without the need of Windows startup.

    To watch the movie on dvd, after using the CD/DVD button, I start in Windows, the connection in Windows XP, and the office at startup, the WinDVD screen presents the film.

    This isn't what I expect from a stand-alone dvd player. My old laptop has a 'dj function' with which you can play a cd without booting in Windows (or turning on the laptop), simply by pressing a special button on the front. What about the promised feature of the Toshiba Satellite Pro?

    Is there a feature "Express Media Player" at all? How can I check if the function is provided? I used the provided configuration, the first time I used my laptop. I don't want to use the recovery CD provided unless it would be absolutely necessary to install this missing functionality.

    Hello

    Yes. Some Toshiba models use a player Qosmio (Qosmio units) and some computers laptop Toshiba supports also the Media Express Player.

    I downloaded the user manual of the Satellite Pro M70 and it seems that some laptop computers in this series come with the express media player. But unfortunately the Media Express drive was not installed and delivered with this laptop.
    See Chapter 4 of the manual

    Usually if you have some serious problems, the BIOS isn't essential update
