• Satellite M70-181 to perform the recovery of proceeds of DVD USB drive

  Hello

  I am trying to recreate the image on my Satellite M70 181 using the product recovery DVD.
  Should be easy, you might say, but the internal DVD player no longer works.
  I don't want to buy a new laptop this quite old, so I borrowed an external USB drive.

  After that I inserted the product recovery DVD the notebook starts from there, autoexec creates a RAMDRIVE and copy the files from there.
  "Recover.bat", the external DVD player analysis must be accessible via the X: drive. However, there are has some missing files on the DVD to mount the external DVD drive: there is no file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB20. DEV, nor a file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB11. DEV.
  Failure of the attempt to mount the external hard drive, recover.bat starts a loop saying 'Please insert Recovery CD #1!'.

  What can I do now? Help, please.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  As much I know this model of laptop can't boot from USB CD/DVD drive and CD recovery.
  You can boot from the USB FDD drive and a bootable floppy drive but I doubt that this is not possible with a Toshiba restore disk.

  I think that you could use this recovery disk as part of internal ODD.

• Need old Bios for Satellite M70 181

  Everyone knowes where I can get old Versions of BIOS (operating system independent) for my Satellite M70 - 181 (PSM70)?
  Look for the Version 1, 00 - WIN or 1 10-WIN-in the new BIOS, there is no need for cooler adjust :(

  Hello

  > Does anyone know where I can get old Versions of BIOS (operating system independent) for my Satellite M70 - 181 (PSM70)?
  I m afraid you won't find older BIOS versions for download on the pages of Toshiba I have found that the latest versions of BIOS.

  If you want you could contact the partner of service allowed in your country and ask if it of possible to get older versions of BIOS

  But look, man. I doubt that an older BIOS would support or contains a few additional options or settings that are not available in the latest BIOS.

• Re: Win 8 on Satellite M70 - 181 - are there drivers available?

  Hello

  as Windows XP support will end next April and my old Satellite still works I
  wonder if anyone has any experience with Win8 on this type of laptop.

  Are there drivers available? (impossible to find anything on the Toshiba site).

  Thank you

  All drivers for Satellite M70 series are on the Toshiba UE driver page.
  Since it is old model of laptop, drivers are placed in archive, then you should choose type of product-> Archive

  But it seems that the drivers are available only for Windows XP and Vista

• Satellite M70 - 181 - slider and escape key does not

  FN with F10 keys shows no reaction.
  Check all the drivers.
  But cursor and escape keys does not.
  Need help please

  Joe

  As far as I know, FN + F10 or FN + F11 active integrated keyboard and cursor control keys.

  Satellite M70 is a fairly old machine and I do not remember which driver may be responsible for this control. Try to reinstall the Toshiba Accessibility or FN-esse utility. Maybe this will help.

  I had M70 long ago, but I've never used this option.

  But even if there are no Windows 7 drivers, you could install Windows 7 laptop computer s hardware specifications are good enough to run Windows 7 on this device.
  You need to find the key to your own hand drivers. Many laptops are released with the same pieces of equipment, so probably the drivers released for other cell phones would be compatible with the M70 series.

• Linux and satellite M70

  It's just to prevent anyone who is interested posted...

  I managed to get linux (stable) to work on the M70. I used Mandriva 2006. Sound, LAN, wireless LAN all seem to work well. The only problem with the graphics - it runs in 1024 x 768 with no support to opnGL.

  It would be nice if he had run at its native resolution of 1280 x 800 but im having trouble getting the correct synchronization (refresh vertical horizontalm) for display.

  If anyone has any info on this please let me know.

  Hello Asif

  This is great news for many users who want to install Linux on their units. I hope that you will also fix the problem with the graphics. Have you tried to find somewhere driver for graphics card? I'm not 100% sure, but it must be an Intel, one.

• Satellite M70-181 - symbols flicker

  Hello

  at the start of Satellite M there is a warning signal/voyeurism that I can't define. If I press the pause button it goes to start windows XP - but after all the symbols on the desktop start flickering.

  There is no way to continue.
  Please, I beg you - is that someone could help me?

  Hello

  The description of your problem is not easy to understand.
  Can you start OS on a regular basis?
  What happens when you press the button walk / stop?
  You can boot OS in SafeMode (F8 at startup)?

  That mean flickering symbols?

• Satellite M70-181: no photo with Beamer liked

  Hi people!

  I have a problem with my M70 Sat with integrated graphics card intel. BIOS and drivers are up to date.

  I want to connect to an older SONY projector (5 years) with a regular vga cable to the external VGA port of my toshiba. However, the VGA port seems not to be active and there is no picture on the projector. FN + F5 shows only the internal LCD screen. Reset with a connected projector is not solve this problem.

  It seems that the graphics card does not recognize the beamer (I guess that's not compatible DCC) and so is not active the vga port. So I think I need to force the graphics card to activate it. Does anyone know how I could do this.
  Or am I totally wrong?

  Bye,.

• Satellite M70-181 and ODD external

  My doesn´t DVD player work more, I want to buy an external drive, it's cheaper and better for me, but I think that it work with the old bios doesn´t. I can't set usb boot.

  I have found a new version of the bios from 2009, with this version, it is possible to start with an external dvd drive?

  Yours sincerely

  Jochen

  >... but I think that it work with the old bios doesn´t
  If you use external ODD with the operating system running, it will work perfectly. You can use firewire or USB port and it wil work properly but if you ned as boot device this can be problematic.
  This old model of laptop is not designed for this purpose and there is nothing you can do about it.
  Latest version of BIOS for this old book is already online and the BIOS update will not change anything.

  Sorry, but the best option for you is to buy internal ODD on eBay. Exchange and be happy.

• Satellite M70-181: the wifi does not work

  Hello

  I'm in New Zealand at the moment and a fortnight ago, I changed my bios password but forgot it. To solve this problem I send the laptop to Toshiba in Christchurch and they reset for me. But since that day my wireless does not work. When I turn it on not even the light. Is not in one of the normal places (like in the network environment or how ever you call it).
  Would it be a problem with the hardware, and it is easy to fix by cause me I didn't have the waiting time until they do it again in Christchurch.

  Thanks for all the answers

  They could have damaged antenna card wifi inside your computer. If you have technical skills, you can fix it yourself, but if you don't just send the laptop back and let check them again.

• Satellite M70 - down keyboard when the HARD drive gets hot

  My Satellite M70-181 begins typing "t" series when you reach the working temperature. In my case, if the HARD disk exceeds a temperature of 48-50 ° C (speedfan).
  I replaced the original Travelstar with a new HDD Samsung, but it becomes so hot that precedes it and the blackout keyboard still appears.
  Because the processor is idle most of the time, the fan is too slow. But the fan doesn't seem to affect the temperature of the HARD drive in any case.
  Any ideas anyone? (Sorry for this kind of English...)

  Frank

  Hello

  Have you noticed this problem with keyboard only when the temperature is raised to a higher level?

  To be honest, I have never experience this problem and I can't believe that a higher temperature of HARD drive could affect the functionality of keyboard

  However, maybe you should clean the grids and the cooling fans. The notebooks are clogged with dust and don t cooling modules work properly.
  Use a jet of compressed air which should help to remove dust, I think this should help to reduce the internal temperature.
