• Is - Windows 7 works with Satellite M70 129

  Hi all

  How are you guys?
  wanted to ask you if Windows 7 works with Satellite M70-129 or not?
  Toshiba is going to support or not with drivers and other things?

  Thanks in advance

  This is a user to use the forum, so if you wait for an official statement from Toshiba then you can wait until you get gray hair
  If you want to hear my opinion then this is

  Windows 7 is very similar / same as MS Vista OS. It supports only a few additional features and options.

  In the European Toshiba page driver I found the Vista drivers for this laptop M70 series and I guess these drivers could be used on Windows 7 too.

  Good bye

• 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

• Can I install Windows 7 on Satellite M70-129?

  Hello guys

  I wonder if the M70 satellite would be able to run windows 7
  Is there a driver will be published by Toshiba for this, or what is history
  Thanks in advance

  P.S. I am trying windows 7, it's so soft on my machine

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  > I wonder if the M70 satellite would be able to run windows 7
  Why do not you can install all the operating systems that are available, but the question is whether the pilots of Windows 7 will be available for M70.
  Currently, you can find some Vista drivers for the M70 series and my knowledge, many Vista drivers are compatible with Win 7.

  Install the drivers from Vista to Windows 7 is so worth a try

• Satellite M70-129: user password controls access to the system at boot

  Hello

  1. from Toshiba Assist (password utility) I put the supervisor with string (text boards) owner password and then I put the user with chain owner password. But during startup BIOS only prompt you for the user password and his Rosary of owner. User mode many BIOS options are disable including the HW installation option.

  2. when I click on Toshiba HWSetup, he invites supervisor password. But if I get the supervisor (not 100% sure) password, it says invalid password. I also tried to change the Toshiba supervisor password, password help utility but failed.

  3. in the meantime due to virus attack, I had to reformat my laptop with Toshiba Recovery CD, sacrifice all my data. I bought this laptop in a few months.

  4. How can I completely remove the BIOS supervisor password and user. Help, please.

  Hello Anas

  You are right. If there is no possibility to remove the password, the service partner for this but it costs a bit.

  Otherwise I put t agree with you on the common problem on Satellite models, because it is a very serious thing and I really t think Toshiba may allow something like that to happen. If it's truth can you imagine what turbulence will be on the market, or perhaps to the press. I put t really believe in this theory.

• Satellite M70 - cooling fan does not start

  Hello.

  I recently got a little work Satellite M70 - CL1 to a friend. Everything works, but the cooling system is malfunctioning. Fan made ramp-up at the start, but then it does nothing. I tried the XP system installed inside, and ubuntu 10.10 does not seem that the fan is running. My friend said the fan strikes, but at the moment he does, too little too late and the system freezes due to overheating. He managed to stay alive for 20 minutes on his own cooling power.

  Any suggestions on what's wrong? Maybe it's the temperature probe that is defective?

  Hey,.

  Of course, it's not always easy to tell what the exact reason is on this virtual path but probably dust blocks the cooling fans and so it may start t and the laptop is overheating.

  Clean the fan and the heat sink is not very complicated, because you can use the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. Everything is described in this very useful Toshiba article on cleaning of your laptop:

• Recovery disk not recognize in my Satellite M70

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite M70. Recently, I installed Ubuntu and in the process of formatting my drive hard completely ended.
  I tried to run the recovery disk I got with the computer I want to run Windows XP on it again.

  However, the recovery disk that my computer does not recognize as a Toshiba.

  When I called the service center, they said something like I need to put in the computer to run the Disk Manager.

  Can anyone help?

  Bungi

  Hello

  Are you sure you are using the right recovery disk?

  Have you changed some parts in the laptop IE. motherboard?
  Usually the DMI contains some details about the cell phone as number series, model, etc.
  If the motherboard has been changed and the DMI has not been updated, then you could get this show.
  In this case, the DMI must be updated and this can be done by an ASP.

• Satellite M70-187 - recovery made a blunder in place now will not boot

  My Satellite M70 - 187 (PSM 70) has XP on its first Linux and Ubuntu partition on the second, GRUB, Linux boot manager, on the MBR.

  I made a blunder seriously - I just wanted to inspect the contents of the recovery disc, so I booted from it. I was expecting to see some sort of dialogue (he says: 'follow the instructions on the screen' on the disk), but instead apparently he immediately away without asking for any intervention by the user. Firstly, secondly it reversed order on a terminal screen lines, a few seconds later a graphic progress bar is appeared, labeled.

  At this point, I panicked - I had not saved correctly everything, and it looked to me he was already written back his picture over my data. So I hard - power the computer off. On reboot, it wouldn't find his BONES, he had nothing except a blinking cursor. In addition, a Ubuntu Live CD says that it could not mount the hard drive. Then, I stopped to do anything to not make things worse.

  I understand that I can probably easily 'recover' my PC using the recovery again disc, but can I still save my data first? I do not think that he had time to replace the partition data, maybe it only replaced the MBR. But what really that this in the first place, without any dialogue, without asking me? Or it was all well, if only I had been patient for a few seconds? Would it help even if I ran the recovery disc again?

  I understand there is also a recovery console from MS that is included on a CD of Windows and has commands like * fixboot * and * fixmbr * who might or might not be useful, but I realize only now I do not have + have + a Windows CD, given that the recovery disk is anything but that.

  I would really appreciate some help. I'm not at total loss - I have a backup, but as for users more semi experienced, it is neither complete nor perceive...

  I wouldn't change the MBR or any other thing at this point.

  Your best solution would be to connect the HARD drive to another PC and run the recovery software to scan the HARD drive and retrieve your documents.

  Google search for "format data recovery", there are many tools you can try.

• 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.

  Check this box!

• 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.

• Re: Satellite M70-190 begins with PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Toshiba Satellite M70-190

  put a new drive hard WD 500 GB, sata3. When to start Notepad appears.

  Tried to change the mode to boot from LAN SD - nothing.
  How to fix?

  (HHD 2.5 "500 GB WD Scorpio Blue SATA3 5400 RPM 8 MB)

  Satellite M70 is very old model of laptop, so I presume that this HARD drive is not recognized correctly (compatibility issues) and that is the reason why cell phone starts with the start LAN to the search option.

  Long ago I had M70 and right now I've updated with 260 GB if I m remembering well.

• Re: Satellite M70-168: new HD and OEM license

  Hello

  My Satellite is out of warranty...
  Original HD (80 gb) broke, and it is impossible to find the same HD.
  I'll replace it with a HGST Travelstar 5 K 750 HTS547575A9E384 - HD - 750 GB - SATA-300.

  1. I think that 2 Sata (sata 300) is compatible, but work to only at speed of sata 1 (sata 150). Is this a problem?
  2. restore the operating system on the hard drive with the DVD created in the first inning, license is OEM allow this work, or block the restoration?

  Sorry for my bad language... Frenchie Frenchie's

  Thank you very much.

  Satellite M70 is old but good laptop and with the new drive HARD and clean OS preinstalled, it should work well. I had it a long time ago and if I m remembering well there connector SATA HDD SATA HDD can be used.

  I think 750GB can be too much and I don t know if it will work OK. Used mine M70 with 320 GB of HARD drive.
  You can test it, but please post comments.
  > Do to restore the operating system on the hard drive with the DVD created in the first round
  You can use the original picture but if I m remembering well that old book has been delivered with the recovery disk (WXP Home) and I put t know what you have created.
  > OEM license allow this work, nor block the restoration
  As far as I know, the license of the sticker belongs to the recovery image and you cannot use it for the activation of the operating system. If you use original recovery DVD that you got with your laptop you don t need. preloaded will be activated automatically.
