• Satellite M70-164 PSM71: after the installation of Vista the display flashes

  Hello

  I have a M70 - 164 witch has an ATI mobility Radeon x 700 with 128 MB dedicated. I installed Windows Vista Business on it, but sometimes, when the LCD resolution changes (IE, when I start a game, when I close the LCD screen and open when I connect,...) the screen becomes stupid...

  You know, with lots of color, but I don't understand anything in it! As you was whatching a coded TV channel, flicking and with no image defined.

  Anyone know what it can be? It started to happen when I installed windows Vista. I already did twice, but the problem is still present. I've used Vista drivers, the drivers from the ATI site, toshiba.ca drivers, drivers of other toshiba computers...

  I don't know what to do more. If you can help, I would like to say thank you.

  Hello

  For me, it looks like a graphics driver issue.
  Your M70 seems to be a European model and this is why you must use the graphics drivers that are specifically designed for this model of laptop but unfortunately I checked on the European pilot site and found nothing :(
  I noticed that Toshiba releases every week new drivers for various notebook series.
  Maybe you unit series will appear both in the text

  But nevertheless, this problem is very strange, a friend of mine installed Vista on the M70 and something like this didn't happen.
  Maybe it of not a driver problem; (but related material?  :|

  Hmmm updated you the BIOS?

• Satellite M70 164 - screen freezes and goes black, overheating

  Hello world! :)

  Recently my Satellite m70-164 started to freeze after only a few minutes of work. The picture on the screen freezes, and a few seconds later, it becomes completely black.
  The computer doesn't even have time to warm up, and it's not stop... It's just the screen that freezes and becomes so black. I have to reset the computer by pressing the power button. (I write from another computer).

  I noticed that working time reduced whenever I have reset the computer and after some time it freezes even though I am in the BIOS settings, so I don't think it's an OS problem.
  Even if the computer does not have time to warm up, this suggests it might be a heat problem.
  So I tried pointing a fan this is low (a big, like the ones we use in the summer), and it works without problem!

  With the fan facing these, I reinstalled Windows - so no Virus.
  Laptop fan * not * continue to operate as it is overheating.
  The fan runs and it is not clogged as I've cleaned.

  So if anyone has the same problem, or ideas, please respond!
  (And sorry for my English)
  Thanks in advance! : D

  Hey Buddy,

  I agree with you. In this case, even in the BIOS, that it has nothing to do with Windows or a Virus. In this case, it seems to be a hardware malfunction

  But before contacting an authorized service provider to diagnose what part is the cause, clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This should be done from time to time (every 4 months) and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  Check this box!

• Satellite M70-164: what is a default temperature of the HARD drive?

  I wonder if someone can tell me what are the default temperatures of the hard drieve of a satellite M70-164

  Hello

  It is not easy to say. It is based on the use of the HARD drive.
  If the turns HARD disk and OS write or read on/from the HARD drive, so the temperature increases, but if you use the laptop only for internet, so the temperature of the HARD drive remains on the low level.

• Satellite M70-164 don't seam to work at all

  I have an old M70-164 which was daily used (windows XP SP3 Home) as my work machine (not to mention the usual stuff of MSoffice and webbrowsing, I use molecular modeling software, Python interpreter and some software of image rendering, as well as be used to access a network of Linux machines).

  It has been used this way for the past four years or so! Battery of died you long ago, and I never use it.
  PS died too, and I use a newer version (with the same exact specifications).
  A week ago, the computer wouldn't start. I noticed that the hot water heat exchanger (he found to be turned off when the Windows logo has showed - about 5 to 10 seconds after pressing the power button) and who offered to throw a poor circulation of air heat exchanger.

  I backed up my data HD connect HARD drive in an external enclosure Sata USB HD and backup on my desk at home.

  I took the machine apart and clean all the components (there was actually a lot of debris restricting air flow). It was in pieces, I also replaced again had heat on CPU (without removing it from the socket) and on the GPU). Put everything together and it worked fine! Can it run much cooler it is used for :-).

  I decided to reinstall the OS using the cd Toshiba provided (including Windows XP and all hardware drivers), as I already had all of the saved data. No problems!

  By updating the operating system (to SP3) after being prompt to restart, it did not.
  I used the system restore cd, once again, and installed Windwos XP normally.
  I stopped the machine and planed to do the updates the next day!

  And it's my problem now!
  The machine is not sewing to work at all! The LCD screen is the lightup (completely black as if its judgment).

  I have to check it connected to an external monitor, but even if the LCD screen is faulty, I expect some HARD drive that is not present activities!

  Did someone faced a similar problem? any suggestions?
  I'm going to hook it up to an external monitor tonight and will display the result!

  Best regards

  Hello

  I m not very well what happened, but you should first try this;
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Then wait some time (1-2 hours)

  After that, connect the battery and plug in the AC adapter.
  After this attempt to turn the unit

  If this will not help, remove the RAM module and try to power the device using an alone module RAM

  Hope this helps if not the laptop developed a serious hardware problem

• Satellite M70: Is it possible to repair the MBR through recovery CD?

  Hi, I do not know where should I post. I have Toshiba Satellite M70 and I want to ask if it is possible to repair the MBR through recovery CD) just as you can do with the XP CD.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As far as I know that something like this is not possible. Recovery media can be used to restore the BONES together. This is an image and there is not some kind of repair option as the CD-ROM of Microsoft full version installations.

• Satellite M70-164: heating under Linux Ubuntu problem

  Hello

  I use Linux Ubuntu Edgy under my laptop and when I play UT2004 I got a rate of about 90fps, but after 10 minutes of play fps drastically drop to 15/20 fps!

  I noticed that the pleasure never operate at full speed on linux! and to check I suspended my laptop and ubuntu has a bug that when you turn on your computer again, the fan will always run at full speed, so I went with the fan at full speed play UT again for about 1 h 30 and the FPS does not let it go this time, so I concluded that it is a heating problem.

  I installed omnibook but my phoenix bios do not support the fans... under windows, I have no problem.

  What should I do? Thanks :)

  I have no problem with Edgy on U200, with games such as Sauerbraten.
  Fan is really speed up when necessary.

  Hope you will solve your problem.

• Serious problem with keyboard on Satellite M70-267

  The Lanaguage keyboard is in the United Kingdom. The keyboard is messed up seriously and I can't understand why.
  I can press any letter / number and it will give me something totally different, like for example when I press space bar the screen resolution appears the entire keyboard is seriously messed up.

  I've only had this pc for a week and it's all new, it's a M70-267.

  If anyone can help solve me this problem would be great.

  Thanks scott

  Hi Dino

  Don't wait long. I recommend you preinstall unit with recovery delivered DVDs. On this way, you will have "factory settings". Test again. If the problem persists, contact your local dealer liquid.

• Overheating on my Satellite M70-164

  HY,

  I'm having some problems on my laptop, whenever I play on it, or when I use a program that loads the cpu and the gpu at 100% of my laptop becomes extremely hot and sudeently turns off.
  Is not under my legs, but on a table, and it's happened before, but now it happens constantly.

  What do you suggest me? Contact toshiba? It is still under warranty.

  Hello

  It of not unusual that the CPU and GPU performance increase to 100% during game or during the use of the solid performance applications.
  But it s unusual that the laptop stops and overheating.

  In my eyes, it happens because the cooling modules cannot run with maximum performance and don t cool parts like CPU

  Especially dust and debris to prevent the fans work properly check fans and try to clean it using the vacuum cleaner.
  BUT beware, a strong suction can damage fans. Everything you make are at your own risk.
  If you have no experience, you should ask the technician to help.

  PS: Don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop for cool air circulation.

• Question on CD recovery for Satellite M70-164

  I want to format my PC, but I'm with some (stupid) questions...

  The CD that came with the laptop (speaking of labels, Toshiba and Microsoft) has in the main cover, something like this: "recovery disc".

  But there is no reference to Microsoft Windows (like the ones you buy for desktop computers)...

  Easy: it's the CD that I can format my PC? Windows XP is included in it?

  Thanks for your valuable help! :-)

  Kind regards

  Hello Daniel

  There are no stupid questions but sometimes stupid answers (maybe mine too). ;)

  I hope that this one will be good and useful for you. Each new laptop comes with the pre-installed operating system. When you pay the notebook also purchased operating system. A single copy and license belongs to you. Toshiba create a disc of recovery for clients, and this recovery disk contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba designed tools and utilities and also some applications like WinDVD or Norton antivir software. All this software allows you full use on the first day.

  Facilities process is quite complicated, especially for people without much experience. Because of this, Toshiba usual to make the OS simply possible facilities. In just 20 minutes (after the recovery procedure) OS and all hardware components will be configured correctly.

  Be careful with the recovery media delivered. Protect it from damage and treasure. Who knows how many times you must use it in the future.

  If you have any other questions about the recovery procedure, please write again. Here you will find useful tips how to use and optimize HARD disk space at the same time.

• Problems of heat with Satellite M70-173

  Need some advice.
  Have in last few weeks found that all side and sometimes in the middle of the laptop its got very hot to the touch.
  Have no idea what could cause this?

  Hi mate,

  I think it could be a cooling system that is full of dust. If the cooling system is clogged with dust and then the machine cannot carry enough heat of your machine which has been generated by the processor and graphics card. The result of this could be overheating, software errors and finish hardware malfunction.

  So, my advice to you: go to the next radio Shack or electronic market and buy a box with compressed air. Some blowing AIR gently hollow the vents and if dust comes out then you know where the problem is. Just clean the entire cooling system and make sure the cooling system is almost free of dust.

  A DVD has been badly inserted in the neoconservative DVD player open it via the Open button, having to resort to the emergency of trombone solution.
  Now, the player does not close.
  Any suggestions?
  Should I replace?
  Best regards

  Hello

  > A DVD was badly inserted in the DVD player neoconservative it open via the button open
  In my opinion the wrong disc was the STRANGE. Possibly mechanical parts few are not ok.
  I think that the STRANGE must be replaced and in my opinion he s the one and the only solution.

  Can you use it as first boot device or not?
  Have you tested with different media bootable?
