• Satellite Pro M70-113 does not start up - it hangs at the logo screen

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite pro m70-113.

  Sometimes when my laptop turns off mode standby automatically, due to inactivity and then if I press a key on the keyboard to wake up nothing happens and I have no other choice but to it stop completely by pressing the button for 5 seconds.
  But when I restart it works well, that is to say, it starts very well.

  But today, when it is in a similar situation, I restarted the laptop, the screen move after the logo screen toshiba. I have the power on several times, but without success. It crashes just on screen toshiba logo.

  After a few restart I pressed ESC while restarting and the toshiba logo changed to the texts POST bios screen.
  And I found that the text will not go forward after having reached:
  Find disk 0:
  Maybe default feel HDD initialization...
  The captured image is here:
  http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/9986/image007sp2.jpg

  Note: this is a capture when, I don't know how the system has just begun works very well and can be seen that the HARD drive is detected normally this time. While the earlier version, it will not proceed after having reached "Found Disk 0:

  So, the problem is that at the time of the problem, the hard drive was not read / initialized or something like that.

  And I remember that when I tried to reboot my laptop and it did not work. It was running on battery and when I switched power supply that worked.

  So it is a problem that has been fixed in a bet to update BIOS, but for another laptop (see laufendspass post) his link on this forum is here:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=13143&MessageID=48143

  And my current bios version is 1.1 and an update is available for v1.30... (But I have not yet updated)

  Another problem I had met some time was same this post mentions to be corrected during the update of the bios.
  i.e. "corrected: a computer that is turned on to State power and running on battery power, may crash if the user is connected to the AC adapter while it is start.»

  So, for this, all mean that these problems can be solved by an update of the bios v1.30 which is available for my Satellite m70-113?

  Please answer.

  Hi Ashish,

  The fact that the initial POST process cannot access your hard disk suggests you that there is a possible problem with the drive, maybe he is not in place correctly when power is applied to it. The contents of the disc should be OK, then I suggest you take a good backup of your system (or at least your personal data) If you manage to get your notebook to boot successfully.

  I do not think that an update of the BIOS will affect any on that since the problem does not seem to have a certain 'trigger', and if the BIOS cannot access the hard disk then no matter what version of BIOS you are using.

  Kind regards

• Satellite M70-131 Linux temperature controller

  Hi all.
  I just got my hands on a satellite m70-131 and I am having trouble with Linux temperature controller.
  Anyone know what sensors it runs? The SMBus is detected but just lm_sensors detects any sensors.
  Any ideas?
  Thank you all!

  Hello

  Sorry, it failed for me to find all the details about this sensor, but I found this useful page on the monitoring of applications for Linux of temperature:

• Satellite M70 does not work properly with external monitors

  Hello

  My Satellite M70 has problems with a couple of monitors and projectors.

  When I connect to another manufacturer (model AL1721) monitor, the screen remains black, if I connect to another monitor manufacturers (model AL1716) everything works fine.
  If I connect a projector there also is a black screen.

  At first everything worked fine, I had a monitor AL1721 who worked, and 1 day it no longer works. I reinstalled windows, updated video card drivers, but it still does not work.
  anyone an idea why?

  Hello

  How do you connect the monitors and the projector? with an analog or a digital (with adapter) cable to the screen?

  Another question: when you connect your AL1721/Beamer and turn on the machine, you can see the Toshiba logo or something else. Is the error just that occur in windows or the "DOS" screen, too?

  BTW. have you reinstalled with recovery or separated from an original disc of Microsoft windows and the drivers you have installed?

  Questions about the question that could be answered by your help me to help you. ;)

• Satellite Pro M70-113: not possible to write on CD - R and DVD-R

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba satellite pro m70-113 laptop.
  Playback problems:
  I'm unable to read cd - r. It's really strange that a few days earlier these CD - R have been reading very well on my drive.
  and when I click on the cd drive in my computer, an error dialog box shows and says f: is not accessible, incorrect function. Here's a screenshot of the error... :

  And when I try to read my DVD-R, a few times they read very well but sometimes it does not read and the drive LED is lit when it does not read the dvd - r.
  When it reads the DVD-R, the following error message comes: screenshot here: http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/9674/2bc0.jpg

  Write problems:
  After getting reading problems, I tried to test my drive writable.
  And I found that I'm unable to write on cd - r. I used alcohol and Nero once but without success.

  Although the same content when it is burned to cd - rw, it is a success.
  I am able to burn successfully on a support DVD + RW 4 x with data amounting to close to 4.34 GB for DVD5...
  When I insert a DVD - R Virgin car doesn t detects it as a blank media and the keps LED on lighting constantly and if nero State doesn't detect my DVD even! I'm not able to write on my DVD-R media...

  In short: write to RWs is possible for both cd - r and dvd + RW not possible of writing on CD - R and DVD-R.

  Please help me.
  It is only 7 months since I bought this laptop and believe that there may be no other person on this planet who looks after the training better than me!
  Really, I have not much used this drive and never scratched/gradient/local support, only the Supermedium media inserted.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Well, based on your description it sounds like the drive cannot calibrate the lens and, therefore, it of not possible to read or write to these media.
  Usual it of not possible to fix this and the replacement drive is necessary.

  You can also consult the user manual. You will find a list with all supported and compatible media.

• Satellite Pro M70-113: is the update of the Bios as of 03/06/07 supports slic tables

  Hello
  Maybe someone knows if the update of the bios for toshiba satellite pro m70-113, dated 03/06/07 supports slic tables or not?
  For vista oem installation dvd?

  Thank you...

  You will not be able to find info accurate on the BIOS and what exactly is supported or not. If you just want to install Vista on your M70 I can just say that I installed Vista Ultimate on my Satellite M70-159 (PSM71E) without any problem.

• Satellite Pro M70-113: cannot install Vista graphics driver and lines appears on the display

  Hello

  I have satellite pro m70-113 with ati x 700 graphics card.

  When I installed vista, he installed the default drivers for the x 700 'mobility radeon x 700-microsft Corp.-WDDM '.

  I've updated the display drivers for vista, that released by toshiba 2 days back... but the driver is not updated to the latest version, only the catalyst control center is installed when I ran the update of the driver of toshiba.

  The problem is that whenever I put my laptop in standby or hibernation and resume... the screen shows thin lines vertical/horizontal... and I can't use the laptop... and I have to still put the system to sleep, just to hope that it is not blocking the screen this time...

  This problem is 25% of the time only when resume...

  This problem is not resolved by the update driver for toshiba has released a few days back... as is not installs the drivers (I can't even install the drivers with the option "update drivers" of Device Manager and select file driver update from toshiba.) It says windows find new driver, but could not install the driver... Contact the manufacturer...)

  This snap shows the problem... : http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2783/12042007366copyod1.jpg

  I updated the driver from an earlier version of catalyst, as it is downloaded from the ati site before that toshiba has released the update... this time it updates some 8. XXX version but the screen problem remains...

  Second, this update of the driver leaves me not sleep my system... the process starts for a sleep, but go back to the locked screen without making sleep ever... so I have no choice to get stuck with the default Windows... drivers having only the problem of the screen... and not the problem of sleep...

  Anyone here with a solution?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I have Satellite M70-159 and I noticed the same thing several times. For most Vista works well but I don't remember cases in which the described problem occurs. I was just curious on M70 Vista and have had no time to intensive testing.

  Anyway, it will be interesting to know if you have already updated the BIOS to the latest version 5.10. If this is not the case to do this and watch carefully if the problem persists.

• Satellite Pro M70-113: modem - very slow

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite pro m70-113 laptop. I bought it in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.

  The problem is that when I use the modem (dialup) software from toshiba to connect to internet... the connection is very very slow... While on the same line, on my desk speed isn't a problem... on average, I get 1/4th of the speed I get on my desk... and on the same telephone line...

  What is the problem?

  Can someone help me in this... are there any configuration software that can fix this problem?

  Help will be very appreciated...

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I don't know what your desktop device modem, but modems takes care of different speeds.
  You can also check the properties of the modem for laptop.
  Go to the Toshiba software modem properties and check under the tab "modem".
  You will find the maximum port speed. This should be set to the highest value.

  It is also possible that different providers use a different speed of data transmission.
  Some time ago I used a modem and I was very surprised that my speed of data transmission is different on the different suppliers.
  As you can see there are many factors why you don? t get the same speed of modem.

  And on the same telephone line, when I connect to the net on my desktop, I get a decent speed. If the problem is not telephone line or my ISP, but something on my laptop hardware modem, or its drivers.

  Please can someone help me...

  Thank you, hoping for an answer...

  Hello

• Linux Debian 3.0 on Satellite M70-159

  Hello. I would like to install Debian Linux 3.0 (kernel 2.6) on my Satellite M70-159 (from DVD disc). After some operations Installer Linux said that my laptop has no HDD (Partitionable media). Anyone tried to install Debian on M70? Is it possible to install Linux on this laptop?

  Post edited by: Vindsor

  Hello

  How did you create the partition, and you have created the partition for the use of Linux?
  The fact is that you cannot use a similar kind of partition for the Windows operating system.

  PS: Unfortunately, Toshiba doesn't support the Linux operating system and you will find all the drivers Toshiba for this OS.

• Is Satellite M70-339 supports port external monitor?

  This model has a (d - Sub 15-pin) port for connecting an external monitor? -The data sheet on this site does not list one!

  Copy of it please respond to [email protected]

  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t found any information on the satellite M70-339, but on the M70-337.
  I think that the two units are not different and the ports are the same.

  However, as far as I know the M70-337 supports RGB (monitor) port on the left side, and you can connect the external monitor to this port.
  This device supports also a s-video port to connect the TV to the unit.

• Satellite M70-151 - how to upgrade the display driver?

  Hello

  as the topic says I ran out of options to update my graphics card Radeon X 700 on my laptop...

  I tried to see here: http://de.nodevice.com/driver/Mobility_Radeon_X700/get44199.html
  After installation, I learned that he had to go on the manufacturer's site to get my drivers

  So I ended up here: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=DE
  Still no idea who was the Radeon X 700 driver, I tried every update... Most did not anyway, and when I check my graphics card driver put in says that my current driver was 5 years old.

  Taking advantage of the distraction of the online games I noticed that went it a few seconds sometimes. Most people recommend that you update all my drivers, but it seems more difficult than I imagined

  So please, help me find the right link to update my graphics card! To help speed things up a bit, I added my DxDiag report.

  Thanks for your help

  / Edit: addition of the DxDiag total was not possible due to "inappropriate language"... O.o

  Hi Sarahbella,

  You can download the driver on the Toshiba site. Therefore, check the link you suggested and look for your model of laptop. As far as I know Satellite M70 151 belongs to the series of PSM71E, to look for with these elements:

  Laptop > Satellite > Satellite M Series > Satellite M70 (PSM71)

  Download the driver and run the setup.exe file.

  Check this box!
