• 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.

• Re: Satellite M70-148 - new compatible DVD player

  I have a Satellite M70-148 and the DVD writer is dead some time ago, I'm looking to replace it now but I'm stuck. After looking a bit on Amazon, I found these:
  http://www.Amazon.de/GP/product/B0052JJ44C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=AX7W93QYFVSA2
  http://www.Amazon.de/GP/product/B0052JJ2P8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&m=AX7W93QYFVSA2

  Is the 2 only I could find on Amazon, I asked the seller as well, but I prefer to know for sure, anyone know if either will fit in a M70 148? All this looks like but what about the connector etc...

  Thanks for any help!

  Hey,.

  What vendor you asked?
  If it were an authorized service provider, you can be sure that the readers, they mentioned will not work properly and I would like to buy only one disk recommended by a service provider authorized because different readers have different pinouts, etc. to 100%, so not all readers are compatible.

  I can t tell if Amazon readers are compatible or not, but if you ask an authorized service provider can give you an exact answer ;)

• Satellite M70-169: screen freezes and meshes + mouse freezes

  Hello
  Hope you can help. So far, I'm impressed by my toshiba satellite m70-169.

  He has recently developed an intermittent fault: when the tilt of the screen the effect of light mesh on it and the screen freezes. The mouse also hangs at this point.

  If I tilt the screen one way or the other I can get it to work properly. A slighy inclination of the screen can cause the screen to freeze again. The problem is getting worse, however.

  The machine has never been dropped or struck, but was taken by one of the screen when it is open.

  I disassembled the strainer and push gently on various points and cables but nothing in this area suggests a loose connection or a weak point. So I believe the problem is in the essence. I tried to open this up but it fails because I didn't force anything.

  Question 1: any suggestions on the problem and possible solutions?
  Question 2: advice like how to open the main part, so I can check any loose cables, connectors or broken bones?
  Question 3: patterns for disassembly?

  Even once - I hope you can help - thanks in advance...

  Hi John

  The above user is right. It s too risky to disassemble the laptop without having any experience with laptops.
  It is why I always recommend taking to a technician.

  But if you want, you can have a look here:
  http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaM55/laptop_LCD_screen_removal.htm

  It s a site on satellite M55 and withdrawal screen.
  But once again; You can do everything BUT only at your own risk! ;)

• Cannot use Recovery CD XP for Satellite M70 168

  Hello

  I can't install XP Home with Toshiba Recovery CD for my m70-168.
  I did two years ago, but now it is impossible.

  I followed the instructions of the user manual. Initially, the system displays the loaded modules followed by a recovery utility menu
  There are 3 options 1-Normal 2 - custom installation - 9 altogether. But it is impossible to select one of them.
  CTRL-Alt-Del works only, then windows starts normally. Since the last restoration, memory has been upgrded to 2 GB.

  I have the same problem using my restore CD backup copy.

  Thanks for your help
  Pierre46

  Hello

  Hmm sounds really weird I mean if the copy of the recovery disk is not working too, I doubt that this could be a problem of recovery disk. But nothing is impossible
  Are you sure that your HARD drive is completely OK?

  Have you tried to install Win XP using the Microsoft CD clean Windows XP?
  Maybe you should check to ensure that the problem is not related to floppy disks to install.

  Return to your recovery disk; As far as I know it of not possible to order a new recovery disk because this laptop model is discontinued
  So you will need to use a disc of Microsoft

• My Satellite M70 no longer works, and caps button flashes

  PS: it's the Satellite M70, and I changed the RAM

  Hello

  I'm afraid that you have to be a little more specific than one that's a little wave... but now that you mention that you have changed the RAM maybe this is related to the question of Mr. is your RAM speed appropriate for your laptop? (Example to 400 or 533 MHz, regardless of the speed is indicated for your product). Because if your RAM is at the wrong speed, or at a higher speed (for example, 667 MHz, which happened with me) the computer can crash/blue screen/go crazy.

  In fact, now I remember that my flash CAPS LOCK button too, because of the bad RAM or Aries do not correctly inserted. I recommend to check the speed of your RAM and make sure that you have inserted the right type, RAM speed and you have inserted it correctly

  I hope this helps.

• Satellite M70: Need WLan driver and his

  Firstly all Hello everyone.

  I am writing because I have format my laptop and now I'm trying to get the drivers on my laptop.

  Downloads of the Toshiba site are very slow, I tried on more than 1 computer and very, very slowly. Something? There is another possibility for me.

  Problem 1:
  I try to look for the WLAN drivers but the only driver Toshiba site gives me is the Atheros, but I try to installed and nothing, can someone help me and tell what is the right driver?

  Prob2:
  For audio driver, I need to download virtual audio driver, or only the audio driver on the Toshiba site?

  Thanks in advance,
  Nuno Quitrio

  First of all, you should check your notebook series and must choose the right because there are two different sets of M70.

  In regard to point 1:
  Either your laptop uses the Atheros Wlan card or and card Intel.
  The two driver Wlan are also from the Toshiba WLan Portal:
  http://APS.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  In regard to point 2:
  The virtual sound is not necessary to get the sound on your laptop. You can install the virtual sound, but the audio driver is more important.

• Error message occurs when I try to install the driver Realtek HD Audio on Satellite M70

  Microsoft Bus driver should be loaded in your system before installing Realtek HD Audio Driver

  This is the error message I got when I tried to install the original Realtek drivers! Removed/installed the new media center 2005 WXP, everything was fine, but the modem and sound, for the modem no problem but for the sound... (view) I even downloaded the new drivers on the internet and they WORKED!

  But when I try next time to open my computer all the time, I get a blue screen then it stops? What's wrong? I have everything is original and I followed the step. What should I do?

  By the way, I had a Satellite M70 - 168 laptop.

  Hello

  Someone get this similar error on OS s book and according to the information the Microsoft hotfix helps to sort.

  Found this useful knowledge base article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;835221

  This document reviews for install the fix KB835221 but that is no longer officially available in dialogue with Microsoft technical support!
  But don t worry buddy. The Google search is the key!
  Try to search for this KB835221 hotfix and I m sure that you find the right one!

  The UAA drivers needed in Microsoft documents are not included with XP SP2 or SP1, so it is a QFE handy to have around if you want to use more recent sound as the Realtek HD Audio cards.

  PS: If the Q835221 did not help then you can also try the driver updated to Microsoft Q888111 article, which has 4 versions depending on your operating system and installed service pack.

  Good luck!

• Satellite M70 - CLI - cannot install display or SM Bus controller driver

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M70 - cli PSM73C-CL100E and I got a new hard drive and loaded Windows xp. I went on the Toshiba site and downloaded and installed all the drivers. I have no problem with the wifi atheros, the sound, modem or chipset drivers. I also updated the bios v2.10 all successfully.

  The problem is with the video card. I used huntersoft program and know that the chipset is an ATI. He also says it's an ATIradeon xpress 200 m with 128 MB DDR shared video. When I try and install the ATI driver it says Setup could not complete the installation. Try to configure your graphics card with the standard vga driver.

  I spent hours on the net. I tried the ATI L30 XP driver and it does the same thing. I tried the driver ATI radeon xpress 200 m and it says not found material. I don't have the original CD I know he works as the old drive worked fine. Unfortunately, I wiped as well to put in a laptop more old. I should have gotten the drivers out of it. :(

  Does anyone have an idea? It drives me crazy! Thanks for any help. Marilyn

  Hi mjmx4,

  How have you tried to install the display driver?

  Normally, you can install the driver (screen) If you run the setup.exe file that comes with the driver package. Follow the instructions on the screen thanks to the installation of the driver, the driver will be installed.

  Alternative you can install the driver if you go to Device Manager and right click on the graphics card. Choose update driver and use advanced installation where you can choose the directory and the driver yourself.

  By the way: before starting with the installation of the driver, you must install Service Pack 3 for XP.

• Need of tools & utilities for Vista put updated by Satellite M70 - 129

  I recently upgraded to Vista, but I noticed all my toshiba programs such as toshiba powersaver disappeared!

  How can we get their...?

  Thanks in advance.

  I found an official document from Toshiba in this forum that says Satellite M70 laptops are supported and the Vista drivers will be published. When? We'll see
  I noticed that Toshiba published new drivers Vista every day now, be patient.

  By the way: as far as I know that Toshiba has not designed Power saver for Vista for any series of laptop.
  Windows Vista uses a clean power options, and these options are very similar to Toshiba power saver.
  So Don t wait release Toshiba power saver because they won't come out this tool for Vista

• Black screen on boot - Toshiba Satellite M70

  Hi all

  I have Toshiba Satellite M70, I need help, and I will describe my problem:

  -A few days my screen went black all of a sudden, I don't know how do I was away from the laptop.
  -Until yesterday, when I start my laptop, it gives me the black screen all the time but when I put to sleep by closing the laptop for a few seconds and then I click the button, my screen starts showing very well until my next restart and I do it again (I usually keep my laptop running almost 18 hours) which means that there is a lot of time on my next boot)
  -But today I started too many times, it gives me the black screen and the sleep mode no longer works. But several times today when I tried to start, the display shows the Toshiba screen for only 1 second then black alley again.

  PS You can see almost threw the black screen just if there is a Sun facing the laptop.

  Thank you in advance,
  Best regards
  Mr. Mher Krikorian

  > You can see almost threw the black screen just if there is a Sun facing the laptop
  This is very useful information
  I think that the problem is related to the FL inverter
  FL-converter is a small part that controls the backlight of the display.
  If this part starts to malfunction so you would see everything as behind a thick fog

  In my view the FL inverter must be checked and replaced if necessary
  This, to get in touch with a local service technician

  Welcome & happy new year!

• Satellite M70 - suddenly no sound

  Hello!

  My son was watching a movie on my Satellite M70 the other night and just in the middle of it the stopped sound... second. He didn't touch anything (I was in the room with him when it happened) and there is no new parameters. So, I've updated all the audio drivers and crossed with all kinds of checkers 'hardware' (including my own common sense) and were not able to resume his.

  The computer is basically a company and there is an incredible amount of information about this. This means that I really don't want to make a full recovery. I surfed a bit and seen that others have the same basic problems. They're told to reinstall the drivers and try to downgrade and upgrade and 1 million other things that should work. I mention this because I have done all this. I'm at the point where I'm going to have to or consider in a store (guarantee is already done...) or simply live without sound (data backup is possible... just hard right now).

  What I was wondering if there is a comprehensive solution to this problem? It is the first time that I come to the forum and I am surprised that this problem is not mentioned. Do you have a solution for this? Can I do something to get it back? Since we don't have television, movies are the only 'entertainment media' that my children receive and silent movies were not what I had in mind ^ ^

  THX in advance

  General solution?
  I doubt that you could do try this one solution.

  First, you must connect the helmet to check if the sound seems to use the headset.
  If you could hear something using the headset then it would mean that there is something wrong with s for laptop speakers.

  In addition, go into Device Manager and remove the sound card in the list of devices.
  Then restart the laptop and check again.
  If it does not help then I would recommend creating a backup of your announcement of important files to recover the entire system.
  The sound still not appear then if say there is a problem of serious material, perhaps the sound card could be affected.
