• 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.

• 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

• Satellite Pro M70 overheating when playing games or watching DVDs

  Hello world

  my laptop (Satellite Pro M70) overheating regularly, especially when playing games or watching DVDs.
  Initially the cooling gets really hard, then the laptop would become hot, and shortly after that it stops completely. I ran it about 50% cpu power (DVD mode) for some time, which helps a little, but makes it much slower games.

  I do not know whence this problem, you have any ideas what I could do?

  Don't know if it's important, my graphics chip is the ATI Mobility Radeon X 700.

  Thanks in advance

  > My laptop (Satellite Pro M70) is overheating regularly himself, especially when playing games or watching DVDs.
  Still is it playing games and watching DVD movies to emphasize material for portable computers.
  Devices such as the CPU and GPU run with maximum efficiency and produce a lot of heat.
  This could lead to problems of overheating, especially if the cooling modules n t work properly.

  > I do not know whence this problem; you have any ideas what I could do?
  I think that the cooling modules don't cool the laptop properly because fans could not run with maximum efficiency because of the dust and debris.

  The same thing happened to me. I just cleaned the vents using a jet of compressed air. This jet of compressed air can be ordered from different computer resellers and it s a professional tool to perform this cleanup.

  I think you should test this.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro M70: What USB 2.0 Port Replicator is compatible?

  Would be grateful if someone could advise me on the purchase of a USB 2.0 port replicator.

  I think the 3 USB 2.0 ports on my laptop Pro M70 are not enough, and that's why I want to buy a USB 2.0 Port Replicator.

  The site of the Toshiba shop specifies USB 2.0 Port Replicator II (UK) with port network, part number: PX1173U-1PRP, price: 49,93 GBP.

  It has 4 USB ports 2.0, which would give me a total of 6 USB 2.0 ports, which would be the absolute minimum I want. (It also has 2 PS/2 ports, 1 serial port RS232 and 1 USB 2.0 port network that takes in charge rates of 10 / 100 Mbps).

  Can anyone tell if it is powered by the laptop, or by it's own adapter?

  Unfortunately, the Web of Toshiba site has advised that it is currently out of stock and are difficult to get in on all the time, as they are the subject of a sort of "green manufacturing" test.

  This prompted me to consider buying a replicator USB 2.0 ports alternative and all I would prefer one with more than 4 USB 2.0 ports, and in fact 6 or more USB 2.0 ports would be preferable. I'm not really interested in other types of ports that are often provided with the replicators of USB 2.0 ports.

  I would be grateful if someone could recommend/Advisor at a replicator USB 2.0 ports alternative that would be compatible with my laptop Pro M70.

  One of my concerns is how the port replicator USB 2.0 Port is powered. I think I would have preferred that the unit is powered by its own adapter, I understand is 5 Volts with 500 milliamps for each port, rather than to the laptop (probably would be less tax on the laptop, with less heating).

  Thank you
  AlanCB

  I can't comment on the question whether the Replicator you mention has its own power source, although I suspect, he does

  However, I have a satellite Pro M70 too and with a similar problem and wanting a hub to connect to all my external printers, Sandy etc using just one connection, I buy PA3390E-1MPM - a hub of Toshiba, Audio/USB multimedia center, which goes a step further and provides a hub not only for USB sources , but also for the speakers etc.

  It has its own power supply to the unit and connects via USB 2.0 to my laptop. It is also stackable with the Toshiba Gigastore 250 GB USB 2.0 external hard drive (PA3392E-1MPS) which I also use for backups, storing external data etc.

  Had the two units for 3 months now and everything works fine. I got headr of some problems with people in loss of access to the hard drive, but it seems that it was never if it has been disconnected by pulling the cord out usb, rather than make a ' Safely Remove Hardware to disconnect the USB device and so far have had no probs at all

  It has 4 ports, more port network and connections from the speakers for the configurations 2/2.1/4/4.1/5.1 full, more Creative software like drivers, more remote control useful to control audio devices. Oh, and also a Surround sound, and EAX

  Maybe a little more of your option, but worth it in my opinion. If you can't find it on the Toshiba site I have purchased from www.insight.com

  Hope that helps

• Satellite Pro M70: buttons for internet and cd/dvd

  I have a portable Satellite Pro M70 with XP and - I believe - service pack 3. I bought it there is a little more than four years (Dec. 2005).

  There is a series of six buttons to the right of the keyboard, just below the power button. The first button has been programmed to launch my internet browser to a key. The other buttons have been to launch the media player and control CD/DVD discs (play, pause, stop, forward, backward).

  These buttons were a convenience, but for some time, they have not worked. I have no idea why. Can anyone help? Can they be fixed easily?

  > These buttons were a convenience but for some time, they have not worked.
  What does that mean? They are broken and do not work or you cannot start defined applications?
  Have you tried to set them using Toshiba control.

  You can start this application from Toshiba Assist > Optimize.

• Satellite Pro M70 overheats and turns off

  Need to support some tech with this problem.

  Satellite Pro M70 constant over heating problem. After use of 20-30 minutes of normal (web navigation etc.) the bottom of the laptop becomes really hot near the fan, unbearably hot to the touch.
  If I play games or do whatever it is cpu-intensive, it will end by the smell of the burning and power off.

  All this time the CPU fan never turns! Just lets him get more hotter and hotter. Strange thing, that's when you start first upward, the spins of CPU fan for about 5-6 seconds to make it work! Already tried to clean it, was not very dirty, the fan is not stuck, it runs if you blow...
  Update I tried to the latest version of the BIOS overheating again...
  Tried all the toshiba utils for cpu temp monitoring etc., they indicate the CPU get more hotter and hotter much more of 60 c +, but none of them (or other 3rd party utils) can detect the fan...!

  Fix for that or is it just bad fan / design of the temp sensor?

  > Already tried cleaning...
  Yes, but how did you do that?

  In the past, I have separated three Satellite M70 notebooks and was surprised inside, how much dust has been placed behind the cooling rack. After notebook professional cleaning was much quieter and has been properly cooled.
  Maybe the grease thermal CPU and graphic should be replaced also.
  After a long period of use, it seems quite dehydrated.

• Satellite Pro M70 - what is the Bluetooth module reference number

  Could someone who has a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70, with bluetooth, tell me the part number of the bluetooth module please?

  You can reed one of the labels under your laptop. You can read bluetooth inside, the reference is in the left side of the label, and it will be something like this: PA3418U-BTM.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Why you n t make a call to the service allowed in your country partner and would order a compatible BT module for your laptop?
  In my opinion, it would be the best way to get a.

  Unfortunately I m no owner of the satellite Pro M70 and, therefore, I have don t know the part number for BT. But my A210 has been equipped with an internal module of BT and PA3608U-1BTM part number

• 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.

• My Satellite Pro M70 itself turns off in the middle of the secuence of startup

  My Satellite Pro M70 itself turns off in the middle of the secuence of startup

  After turning on if it passes the test post and enters the menu grub (Linux + Windows) or BIOS
  without problems, but most of the time after the start of the BONE found in the start - up, suddenly it powers off the power.

  The problem becomes bigger and bigger as punishment I can boot any operating system

  As seen on messages more soon as I cleaned the vents of CPU with a spray suddenly sure I wasn't a problem of overheatting.

  Someone has an idea of what can happen?

  Thank you

  Hmm, the laptop passes the MESSAGE correctly and it stops during the initialization of the operating system. Is this good?

  Well, in this case I would exclude the RAM to malfunction.

  I put t also think that it's an overheating problem because the laptop should work a little longer until it would be closed due to high temperature.

  What about the HARD drive malfunction? Are you sure that the HARD drive is ok?

  In my opinion, you should check the HDD and maybe try another.

• Video capture with a satellite Pro M70: which ports and drives can I use?

  I want to edit my home movies on my Satellite Pro M70 using WXP Pro (win dvd or movie maker). I want to capture video from my panasonic camcorder that has digital strips. What are the ports that I can use and what cables do I need? I'm desperate to edit my recent wedding video to put on DVD and mail it to my mom. The panasonic website has ignored me! Any advice anyone?

  Well, as far as I know this unit has only one S-video output port. In this case, you can connect the laptop to the TV and look at the photo of laptop to TV but it of not possible to receive all the signals of TV or any other device on your laptop.
  To receive the signals, you need a composite or a s-video port.

  However, if the camcorder has a firewire if port you can send digital files through the firewire connection. But this should only work with digital files that are saved on the camcorder.

• I lost my disc to restore system for Satellite Pro M70

  Hello

  I lost my system restore disc for my Satellite Pro M70.
  If anyone can help with possible solutions. I want to restore it for my sister to take to College.

  Thank you
  Greg

  Possible solutions?
  Well you can take the Microsoft Windows disk and can install windows by using the original Microsoft disc. All the necessary drivers and tools are placed on the European driver Toshiba page.

  I think you will not be able to order this disc of the local ASP or on this site https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx because the M70 is a little older

  So the real solution can be an installation of the OS by using MS Win drive

• Necessary drivers for Satellite pro M70

  Hi all!

  I hope someone can help me! I have a Satellite Pro M70 purchased in England about 2 years ago. The full model is PSM76E-00100KEN. I installed a new copy of WXP Pro on the laptop, but as I don't always have the recovery CD I know I just need to download some drivers from this site - mainly the display driver.

  My problem is, I don't know what my video card, I know its an ATI one. The other problem is that when I look in the downloads on this site - the M70 or PSM76E etc is not in one, current models or archives.

  I would be really grateful if anyone can help in pointing me to the drivers I need.

  Thank you

  Andy

  Hi Andy

  Of course, it is listed. Check a little better. According to the specifications of the laptop, your laptop comes with the ATI graphics card.

  Good bye
