SATELLITE M60-164: high slope whining

I recently bought a TOSHIBA SATELLITE M60-164 and have noticed a subtle but incredibly annoying high sharp wail after startup. It is only in a very quiet environment.
Suggestions that what this could be, I'm very tempted to return this laptop otherwise fantastic if the problem persists.

Hello

Can you please tell me if it works if the unit is connected to the supply current or battery?

Have you noticed that on the first day of use? One of my friends has the same unit and no similar problem.

    I completely agree with Akuma. Windows 7 supports and include clean driver CD/DVD from Microsoft. If the optical CD/DVD drive should be automatically recognized by Win7.

    You see the ODD in Device Manager?
    If there is a yellow exclamation point, remove the ODD of Device Manager, and then restart the device after restarting again the laptop must find new device and should recognize this.

    Using the nLite application you could create a new XP CD and could include SP2 in this CD. You can then use this disk to start!

    I want to know if my pc has bluetooth on it, it seems she is in the device maneger but I can't make it work so I'm wandering if he is actuly on the phone it has a section in the control panel can anyone help please

    Hi mucklin terry

    I checked the Satellite M60-164 information and it seems that the Bluetooth is not available on this device.
    In this case, the only way to use Bluetooth technology is to use the PCMCIA Bluetooth card or the USB Bluetooth key.

  • Satellite M60-164: very large external 320 GB HARD drive data Transmision

    I am the proud owner of a Toshiba Satellite M60 164, however, as I am downloading my wife camcorder videos and burn them to DVD, I rapibly to run out of hard drive space. Therefore, Saturday I purchsed a new Toshiba 320 GB USB external hard drive.

    After you have copied a number of videos captured on this new disc (about 20 min each for approximately 22Gb), I'm trying now copy back - one at a time - on the hard disc internal PC to burn them on DVD.

    Each of the 22 GB files takes up to 200 minutes (more than 3 hours!) to transfer back from the external hard drive to PC Hd - this seems incredibly long (I'm not impressed) - anyone any idea why this might be?

    Link is USB2. 1 GB of Ram on PC, 75 GB of disk space on PC internal Hd, 1.83 MHz piece, Norton Security running, if nothing else when attempting to transfer. Manual is useless, all this suggests is maybe 1 GB per dry 18 (at best) - a little difference between 396 seconds and 200 minutes (I have of course the NET would be faster!)

    The clues what is the problem?

    Pete

    Hello

    I guess that the Norton Security checks the files during the file transfer.
    Try turning off the Antivirus and Norton Security application if you want to copy the files.
    Check it out.
    The other possibility is that the drive HARD internal (5200 RPM) can't handle faster transmission of files.

  • Satellite M60-164 sometimes boot, sometimes not

    I have what has been a fairly reliable Toshiba Satellite M60. A few weeks ago I tried to start and the power led came on the deflected light disc momentarily and the fan went. Within 2 to 3 seconds, the fan stopped, the drive light is also out. During this time the screen is never ever come at all, IE Toshiba cover page did not come to the top. The computer won't budge from that position, its almost dead.

    However... If I leave and come back maybe the next day, the machine starts perfectly. Does not happen for a few days then happen. Its becomes more annoying and I would like to get the problem fixed. Anyone has any experience of this? And any help on fixing it before sending it back to Toshiba?

    My problem is that my luck not knowing if I send it back to Toshiba, they don't meet this intermittent error and therefore will not be able to fix something they cannot see does not.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    This seems very odd. Looks like material would be a malfunctioning motherboard?
    Who knows that it is not easy to tell without running all the tests that you know.

    Have you tried to update the BIOS? Check if Toshiba has released a new version. But be careful.
    Be sure to use the good BIOS and the correct procedure for updating the BIOS.

    In any case, if the problem persists please contact undoubtedly service provider in your country for the control of the laptop.

    Toshiba Europe page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com under the heading Products > Accessories & Options, I discovered that Bluetooth SD Card 3 (PA3370U-1BTM) is compatible with Satellite M60-161.

  • Wireless disconnect on Satellite M60-164

    We have a M60 - 164 connected to a Netgear DG834GT wireless router. The laptop connects without a problem at startup, but will eventually lose its connection, requiring a reboot to get back online. This occurs if the connection is busy or idle.

    Latest firmware is on the router, the latest drivers on the laptop and I disabled the power management to run the card wireless at full power all the time, but the problems persist.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Update:
    I thought that this problem was related to the WPA - PSK, but it turns out not to be the case - even with the unsecured network I can't keep the machine connected to the router for any decent length.

    Hello Richard

    If you check the wireless card, you will find a large number of similar subjects with the same claims. Of course, there is a problem with the WiFi of INTEL 2200BG card. You can try to install the latest driver for this INTEL card and check the connection of the new.

  • Satellite M60 164 - USB problem

    I have recently introduced a new Toshiba laptop and am runing Windows XP with SP2. I'm having a problem with some USB devices powered like a USB stick or disk external hard usb. The USB key that I use is fed by another usb port, I tried one on Tosh and the other on a desktop computer. All thouhts appreceiated.
    The M60 usb ports are powered? I'm missing something.

    W

    Hello

    This problem can occur if you plug a USB device high power as a hard drive USB, the USB device consumes more than 500 my power.
    To work around this problem, you must supply the external power USB device if it is available for the device. For example, you can use an AC adapter to power the USB device.

  • Satellite M60-164, sticking the numeric keypad

    Hello

    I wonder if anyone has experienced any sticky keys on the numeric keypad. I mean only to feel the resistance when you press the keys and they take the time to return to its normal position.
    No.... One looks like it might be food or drink has fallen on the pavement, but it is not the case.

    Thank you

    Nope.
    Given two M60-159 units, keyboard was replaced due to sensitivity of the keyboard problem (some characters are usually missing in the text...), none of the keys to self-retaining noticed on any of four keyboards. Replacement keyboards (revision 01) had a little different twist, but were not much better.
    Also saw two P100-219 units with a similar keyboard, no sticky keys is (keyboard sensitivity OK but not excellent as more old 3000 Toshiba).

    Question (please do not answer, I would really like to know): how is the sensitivity of your keyboard? Leave the characters when the quick entry?
    You may require a guarantee of replacement keyboard for this reason. Or better yet a replacement laptop, if all goes well they're out of M60s and you can get a P100... Personally, I do not change the computers because it takes too long, I just want them to fix the keyboard, but they seem to have given up (I even sent them keyboard replacement for analysis).

  • Satellite M60-164 and the connection to the Linksys router

    Hello

    Ive had my Toshiba laptop a couple of weeks now and the stability of wireless is trying to grind on me...

    I had an older Toshiba laptop that I have connected to my linksys router with a PC card wireless of linksys... absolutely no problem at all with him for over a year...

    Since buying this one with built in the wireless, the only way I cn get the connectivity Toshiba dctor to detect the connection is too "no broadcast" disable my router, my neighbor commented that he could get on my network!

    Sometimes when the PC is start the 'LAN' and 'Wireless' icons on the departure to the high bar take ages to appear... and when they finally do a wireless has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it... and the internet does not work...

    Sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 times to restart my computer and the router to recognize each other...

    It is certainly an issue on the laptop... I can always connect to each time without fail on the other laptop (who is now my wife) and I have a floor Office from PC using a netgear PCI Wireless crd and which connects no problem every time...

    I cn kind of deal with it, but its bothers me why I can't even detect the connection to the network during the broadcast is disabled (even when Ive found by scanning with seized me the name of the network)...

    Ive tried linksys... but couldn't find anything, and as I say... my other PC works smoothly to al...

    But don't know about the card installed in this unit wireless network. It s a 2200BG Intel wlan card and if you will look on other assignments, there are many questions about this wlan card.
    Usually the wlan card driver update will solve some problem of connectivity and also turning off the power save mode in the properties of the wlan card.

  • Satellite M60-164 Pro lights at all

    Hello

    Ive got a Sat Pro and when I plug it into the power socket on the charger light comes on, but the laptop lights at all.
    If I take the battery on the laptop and plug it into the power outlet, its dead again.

    Any help, greatly appreciated.
    Danny

    Hello

    It seems that this has nothing to do with the power supply, but with a hardware problem internal on the mobo.
    I think you should first check the two memory modules inside the laptop.
    If the laptop turns on not even the help of new modules, then the other parts such as the CPU or the motherboard must be verified.

    Sorry, but that's all what I could suggest.
