• Satellite M60-164 - BSOD during the windows loading screen

  On startup, I get the blue screen of death during the windows loading screen.

  I don't have a recovery cd, only a cd of OS (windows xp SP1a), which shows the option to repair but prompts then insert the recovery cd, how and where can I get one of these!

  No matter what help get a restore for Toshiba Satellite M60-164 Pro cd would be much appreciated!

  I think I know why you get a BSOD.
  You said that you have installed the Win XP SP1a.

  You must Win XP SP2!

  If you wish, you can create a CD Win XP SP2 clean! How? It's very easy. You need the tool freeware nLite (google for it and how to use it).

  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!

  By the way; The Toshiba recovery disc can be ordered from the ASP

• Satellite M60 - controller keyboard may be defective

  Hey all, first of all I apologize for my bad English.

  I have a Satellite M60-149, and since 2 days no longer start.
  It stops to load in the Bios Phoenix with 'Please wait' screen the fast flashing of the status bar.

  So I think that the problem is the bios error. But if I hold down Fn + ESC when I turn on, the Bios boot, then windows also.
  In windows, the mouse is OK, but keybord does not work.

  I assume that the problem is as a broken hold down the key. So I physically removed the keyboard and I try with a keyboard external usb.
  Nothing doesn't change, "Please wait" still on the screen of the bios or windows start pressing Fn + Esc to power.

  In my view, keyboard controller is damaged. But I wan't to pay 300 euros for the new motherboard.
  Anyone have other tests/solutions?

  Hi Gianluca_1,

  I m not a technician for computer laptop, but even the keyboard is removed and you get the same problem it seems that the keyboard itself isn't affected but he s strange that it starts when you press FN + ESC

  I think that in this case you need an answer to an authorized service because they can give you an official statement so I recommend contacting the guys and ask for help.

  An alternative, try to load the default settings in the BIOS and try a BIOS update.

  Driver VGA (ATI M24C/M26P)
  V8.121.050322a - 021880C

  I'm really ask for help, because I do not know how...
  Kind regards

  Hello

  What happens if you install the operating system from the Toshiba Recovery CD?
  This CD also contains the ATI graphics driver.
  How about installation of the graphics driver on the site omegadrivers.net?

  But I must say that it is very strange question. The driver from the Toshiba site should work.

• Toshiba Satellite M60-154: what is the best way for a long service life of a battery?

  Hello Toshiba-users,

  I bought the "Toshiba Satellite M60-154" but I want to use most of the time on the AC adapter.

  I read the manual, but they say nothing about the battery life for people like me who will use the computer power adapter laptop most of the time.

  I would like to know if:

  (1) it is best put the battery inside when I use the laptop on the power adapter for a long time (they say this is not good for the life of the battery when it is fully charged and when he is still in charge...)

  (2) it is best to take the battery when when I use the laptop on the power adapter for a long time and check the battery every week for example to see whether or not it is still loaded (they say it's good for the life of the battery when the battery is fresh off once a week)

  Indeed, what should I do to make sure that the battery will have a long life, knowing that I always use the laptop on the power adapter instead.

  Thanks for the tips

  Hello

  your info is just. Only put the battery in the laptop, if you want to load or work without mains, to make sure that your battery has a long service life relative.

  Good bye

• Satellite M60: grey spots on the LCD screen

  It seems that I have a problem with my Satellite M60. I noticed a few more dark spots on the LCD screen. Looks like the screen is dirty (grey size spots about 5-6 pixels), but it seems to be not in the surface of the screen, but on the inside (the surface is perfectly clean) and, certainly, is not the problem of dead pixels or subpixels.

  Is it possible that there is little dust inside of screen? Is it possible to clean it somehow? Such a strange thing is covered by the standard warranty?

  Hi Fox

  Possible it s not a BIOS issue. Of course, I read the other case, but perhaps it s not the same question.

  But do not forget that you are using the good BIOS!
  A lot of users here uses a bad BIOS or bad BIOS procedure.
  In addition, the BIOS version performed from 14/09/06. That is why it s not very old updated.

  > Laptop computer just turn off after a few minutes of work.

  I think this sentence is the key description resembles your laptop could overheat and automatically stops.
  Why is this happening? Well, the laptop could overheat temperature high inside the laptop. It will stop automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

  My long experience, a clogged cooling fans could be responsible for the bad cooling and the temperature high.

  So what to do?  :|
  In my opinion, he must clean the fans to get rid of dust and debris.

  The jet of compressed air is very useful tool and could help you to clean the fans.

  Hope this helps to get the laptop running.

  Hello

  The name, I guess the route because of the media that has been placed in change.
  If the DVD is inserted so that the player goes to DVD D: and the CD has been inserted so the disc change CD d:
  If the player doesn't work properly, so try to remove it from the Device Manager.
  After again starting the operating system should recognize the drive again. Maybe it helps.

• Satellite A65-S126: I get error codes 7 and 4 - need to replace the internal RAM

  I was making mistakes first when I boot.
  Windows has a file missing or currupted (isapnp.sys).
  So I try to make a startup disk XP repair and while it is endearing to copy files, I receive other errror ' blah blah error code is 7 or 4.

  I did some research on all three errors and every difficulty unique potintial ram bad or bad Bios settings. I tried to reset the cmos and I've updated since the last version of toshiba. Always the same thing.

  I also replaced the ram with two sticks, that I had. The same problem. I think there must be some on board the cause of ram that I can get out the chip from the bottom and the laptop will always start and says it has installed 256.

  Where and how we replace RAM or what do you think?

  Thank you.

  Have you tested the memory? You can use Memtest www.memtest.org which is a floppy disk or a CD.

  Perhaps the error is just guessing what the problem is. File copy errors can also be caused by a scratched or damaged CD, bad CPU, defective HARD drive, faulty DVD drive or motherboard. If Memtest passes, then test the hard drive for bad sectors.

• Satellite M60 - vertical lines on the screen

  Can someone tell me what is the apperience on vertical lines screen (a first in the Middle, and then, months later on the sides) means?
  Thanks in advance sekreb

  I can't say for sure, but it may be due to faulty display or may have a faulty graphics card. If possible, try to connect the external monitor to your laptop and use the FN + F5 key combination to switch to external monitor desktop.
  If the image is perfect, the screen may be defective.

  When the same problem occurs on external monitor, it is proved that the problem is caused by a faulty graphics card.

• Satellite M100 - can not repair the 1394 connection & Wlan driver needed

  I installed XP Pro on my Satellite M100, due to being Home Basic, vista terrible.
  I installed all the drivers listed on the site of toshiba for the XP system.

  When I try to repair the 1394 connection I get message saying to error failed to query TCP/IP.

  Can someone help me with this problem?

  Also the wireless for this system driver does not appear to be installed.

  Does anyone know where I could get it from?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  May I ask if you have installed the LAN driver?
  And if you have installed the network driver; have you tried to update the driver LAN?

  To be honest, I do not know why this error, but I wonder why repair you the 1394 connection.

  However, in my opinion the LAN driver should be updated and you should also check if the TCP/IP protocol is set to automatic.

  You can google a little how to change TCP/IP settings.

  By the way; The WLAN driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page!

  Hey Kramer,

  Are you sure that you have installed the right driver WLAN? As far as I know that Toshiba laptops are delivered with various wireless network cards. The Toshiba page also shows Atheros WLAN drivers then perhaps you have an Atheros card?

  In addition I would try reinstalling Windows using Toshiba recovery disc. There are all the drivers and tools pre-installed.

• After 5 min screen goes black on Satellite M60 all in game WOW

  Hello

  for two weeks my Satellite M60 presents problems for the game WOW.
  After 5 min of the Nootbook screen dark past, or permanent display, and nothing will.

  Before a year I push my Ram from 1 up to 2 GB.
  Is there someone who can help you?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Sounds like a RAM or overheating problem.
  Maybe the modules to affect the internal temperature higher RAM and functionality.
  This can lead to problems while game.

  I think you should first check if cooling modules a free from dust and debris.
  Dust can be removed using a jet of compressed air.

  The next step should be an update of the display driver.
  Check if there is some more recent versions. If yes-> updated!

  Good luck

• Satellite M40 - how to restore the factory without ODD settings?

  Hello

  My HARD drive crashed a few days ago on my Toshiba Satellite M40.
  So I bought a new HDD IDE to use my Toshiba WinXP recovery DVDs. But my internal optical drive does not work.
  My BIOS does not let me start on an external optical drive...
  I tried to use another laptop recovery DVD but it says 'this recovery DVD is only for Toshiba laptops.

  All I want is to try to find a way to use my restore DVD...
  Can someone help me? or ideas?

  Concerning

  Hello!

  I think that every resident has reason. You can restore t to factory settings on the recovery disk Toshiba no CD/DVD drive work.
  If you want to use the Toshiba Recovery disk, you need to replace the CD/DVD drive!

  But as resident suggested, you can install Windows XP with a disc of Microsoft. Therefore, you don't need a CD/DVD drive work.

  It of your choice what you do! Either you replace the CD/DVD drive, or you use a disk of Microsoft.

  Good bye
