Portege M700 expansion Bay

I was wondering, is there Posibility to use the extra HARD disk drive instead of DVD?

On * European * page, there is no sign of this combination, but on * Canadian * I found something like this...
[http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en§ion=1&group=2&product=4411]
.. .this option is also on the European page, but without any link with * M700 *.
[http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=EU&selCategory=4699&o ldCategory = 4699 & OPTION_ID = 110319 & toshibaShop = false & tab = 2 #2]

Then maybe someone will know who is right or where to find the answer?
Correct model in which I am interested is M700-106.

I could ask the same question about the battery.

Thanks for help

Hello

I think you could do this.
The Portege M700 is equipped with the Toshiba Ultra Slim Bay. It allows the reader to muliti DVD standard be removed and replaced with the 2nd HDD or a sign of weight gain for increased versatility.

  • Portege M700 - Ultra Slim Bay

    In the User Guide, in the section of list of equipment control, it says "Ultra Slim Bay weight Saver (is included with some models)". And since I got a case Ultra Slim Bay (which is also included in some models), logically, it would also come with the weight of the day before. Because, when I take off my DVD player to place in the case of the Ultra Slim Bay, there is a gaping hole left in the laptop where the DVD player used to be. It is not sensible that Toshiba did not provide weight saver, it don't...?

    Thanks for your help,

    PS. This message was rejected by the system because it was blasphemous? What is going on? It took me 7 tries until I decided to change my message instead. What is the problem with the system? It was VERY frustrating, and it does not tell you what part he wanted to edit! bad code... Fix it.

    I m not a Portege M700 owner but I think Akuma's right. The dummy DVD Don comes only with models without DVD player, I think.

    If you wish, you can contact an authorized service provider. They can order all the parts of Toshiba.
    Or search you on the homepage Toshiba accessories. Maybe you will find the part number you can search with Google to find online shops they sell this part.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    You mean the 3G module?

    My knowledge of the 3G module was not installed in all Portege M700
    This means that there are different motherboards, which provide different hardware specifications.

    In your case, I recommend you contact a local ASP.
    Guys would be able to help you and provide the right parts for an upgrade (if possible)

    As far as I know that some of the M700 were equipped with a 3g + / HSDPA broadband with a data flow rates up to 3.6 Mbps (Module can be expandable to 7.2Mbps by firmware)

  • Portege M700 - Speed/standdard for new SSD SATA

    Hello
    I would like to by SSD drive for my Toshiba Portege M700-116.

    What dish speed SATA can I buy?

    SATA 1.0 (SATA 1.5 Gb/s)
    SATA 2.0 (SATA 3 Gb/s)
    SATA 3.0 (SATA 6 Gb/s)

    Thank you
    Jan

    Hello

    I'm not quite sure on the SATA specification, but I think that the Portege M700 m supports SATA II HDD controller.
    However, you can install like Sisoft SANDRA hardware diagnostic tools for detailed specifications of controller.

    But SATA is backward compatible, which means that even if you want to use a SATA III SSD, SSD drive would be recognized but speed will be limited to the performance of SATA II.

    I do not have any disk where can I download the iso and then burn it to disc or something like that, I don't know really much about PCs and sorry for my bad English, please help me if someone can

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to download the image of Toshiba.
    Where you n t have recovery disc for your model mobile, visit this page to order this disc: http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    But I don't very well if you'll be able to order the disc because of the age of the laptop of m

    However, the message: insert the disk system is displayed because the system is not installed on the Toshiba Portege laptop, that's why it asks for the disc.

    Of course, you can use the clean Microsoft Windows disk to install the system, the essential drivers are available on the page of the driver Toshiba UE Toshiba image is not necessary to reinstall the system, if you are the owner of a MS Windows disc

  • Re: No display on Portege M700

    Hello

    My son put his computer bag stuffed with his laptop Toshiba Portege M700 inside his office (just out of warranty).

    The laptop shows no sign of injury, but on turn it only "all the right noises", but there is no display on the screen. If the laptop is turned on with the charger connected and then some colored vertical bars appear, and then they fill with white, but nothing else.

    We tried to connect an external monitor and pressing Fn + F5 and the vertical bars disappear from the internal screen and it goes totally black, but nothing appears on the external monitor. Pressing Fn + F5 new returns the vertical lines at random on the internal display.

    We have also tried to start the laptop in the Mode menu without failure by pressing F8 during the initialization of the laptop, with or without an external monitor, with or without the Fn + F5, but you cannot get any video on the monitor either internal or external.

    Fact it seems that maybe a connector was dislodged by the shock of the fall, that you think that the laptop is now pushing up daisies?

    Any notice received with gratitude.

    WIBs

    To be honest I n don't know which connector you want to say but there is no pic on external displays to be a serious problem.
    It seems impossible to send the video signal via the video out port.

    It is not easy to offer an accurate diagnosis on this virtual path.
    What do you do now? Try to repair it or what?

    Maybe you should contact Toshiba service and ask for verification. They can run diagnostic tools and tell you what is defective, what needs to be replaced and how much it will be cool. Then you can do what to make the decision.

  • TrueSuite Access Manager on Portege M700 - 13p

    Whenever I start my new Portege M700 this program says that the drivers are not installed for the fingerprint reader and t testing install again. Install TrueSuite Access Manager starts and then it asks me to restart my PC. Every time. I'm currently ignoring this but it bothers me.

    I can connect with the fingerprint reader, which suggests that the message is bogus.

    Recommend a way to solve this problem?

    I'm tempted to remove the device from the hardware Manager and uninstall the software, then restart, reinstall the software and then redetect the hardware...

    Anyone got a better idea before that I'm wasting my time?

    See you soon,.

    Rob.

    I agree with you and I think that the first step, you can try to remove preinstalled software and install the latest version of the Toshiba support page.

  • Portege M700 falls down after upgrading to Windows 7 32 bit

    Dear all,

    My portege M700 laptop played most of the reliable time.
    However, it was taken very slow sleep after a few iterations of sleep-wake, taking > 5 min.

    I have now installed Windows 7 32-bit, which works very well. Has no problem with the release of sleep. However, on 1-2 times per day now, I get a message that Explorer crashed and must restart. About once a week, the system crashes completely with a blue screen of windows (without core). Most of the time, in seconds to the time that the screen freezes, I hear the fan switch on at full speed (much faster that it never runs normally) and the case becomes hot enough.

    I installed the latest drivers for 32 bit Windows 7 on the site of Toshiba UK.

    Can someone help me to diagnose the cause of these accidents?

    Thank you very much

    Chris.

    Hello

    It is difficult to say what might cause this behavior strange system.
    But you said something about the hot deal and fans begins to spin faster

    It seems that the internal temperature of laptops increases to a higher level.
    A higher temperature may affect the RAM modules and this could be the reason why the system hangs and does not answer.

    What to say that you should check the Win 7 power management settings.
    There are many options that could decrease the performance of the processor and increase the cooling.
    In addition, you should check if the cooling fans are free of dust obstructed fans might not run properly and this would increase the temperature as well.

    Hope this helps you

  • Portege M700 - DVD drive fails during the recording of discs

    Hello

    I tried the Disc Creator that came pre-installed and also Nero 9.2.6.0. All this on Vista 32 bit.

    The latter seems to have no idea about the problem, as it says smething like unknown failure.

    The creator of disc mentions error code 380381-26-BF040304.

    The problem occurs only at the beginning, I tried with three discs, so I don't think that the disks are the problem. In any case, they are DVD + R DL Verbatim and support up to 8 x, while the recorder goes only up to 4 x for the double layer, so I think I'm ok.

    My suspicion is that maybe the firmware in the DVD version needs update... He mentions Hw 1.00, 1.10 Fw. Other manufacturers of laptop as offer updated firmware DVD for her, but I couldn't find one of TOSHIBA.

    Any ideas?

    See you soon

    Hello

    There are several disks for Portege M700, they are compatible. Usually in the user manual, you can find a list of supported CD/DVD players they are pre-tested by Toshiba and work correctly.

    If you have any other questions about a new drive, ask the service provider authorized in your country. They can offer you a compatible player.

    are there drivers for the UMTS modem yet? (I have found that none on the Toshiba download site) It's the only thing that prevents me from using a Version of Vista 64 bit on my Portege M700.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Portege M700 - need drivers for Windows XP Home edition x 64

    Hello

    I recently bought a Portege M700
    It comes preinstalled with Vista on the disc.

    Now, I got an original Win XP x 64 and all my programs are not really compatible with Vista. If I want to install Win XP x 64.
    I have install Windows XP Home edition x 64, but there are no drivers for it, only for drivers vista and Windows XP tablet pc edition.

    Is it possible to find the drivers for Windows XP Home edition x 64?

    Someone at - it already had a problem like this one?

    in any case thank you already for the answer.

    Hello

    I doubt that you can get 64-bit drivers for Windows XP for this laptop from the Toshiba driver page.
    I didn t find drivers for Windows XP 64 bits for Toshiba laptops.
    Why? I think the Win XP 64 bit was not so popular like Win XP 32 bit and most of the applications have been designed for XP 32 bit OS.

    If install you XP 64-bit on this computer, you will have to look in the various 3rd party Web sites for the compatible drivers

    Good luck
