Satellite M70-144: Linux monitor/graphics card problem

As the topic says I had problem with the starting x server on my linux partition on my laptop.
I tried several different distributions, but nobody seems to be better.

I got Fedora Core 6 on it now and I at least get the Terminal so I can edit the Xorg.conf file and I download the latest drivers for my graphics a x 700 Radeon card. But nothing seems to be an improvement of the black screen when you try to start X.

Anyone else have the same problem and fixed or know any good HOWTO?

I don't have a M70. But a good tip is to get Knoppix. Knoppix is a bootable CD so you can run linux without installing anything. I had a few times where I couldn't have some hardware to work, but could Knoppix. Looking at what Knoppix used drivers, I could get it working in installation of Linux.

You can get Knoppix here: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html burn it to a CD and boot from it.

If your software does not allow to write ISO files, then get http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/

  • Satellite C660 - update Intel HD graphics card problem

    Hello

    Sorry for my level of English, I'm French

    I have a problem without a solution with my Satellite C660 (for the moment, I hope!) I downloaded the software google sketchup 8, dedicated to the development of architecture, but it does not work, I still got a bug message advising that it is necessary to update the graphics card drivers (according to google support it seems that OPENGL functions must be implemented in the drivers of my laptop)

    So I downloaded the latest drivers available for the configuration I have (Intel HD graphics for pentium, 64-bit windows 7).

    the link (french site, that Intel is not currently available, it is a document of .exe)

    http://www.Touslesdrivers.com/php/Constructeurs/TELECHARGEMENT.php?v_code=37057&v_langue=FR

    I tried to update manually driver graphics card with Device Manager menu (graphics card > update drivers button > file.exe manual selection), but in the end, there is no update, I did that a very small message advising that windows has determined that the pilots are already updated.

    In fact there is no change on the drivers (always the same date of the 2010-07-28 drivers in the properties of the graphics card) and sketchup is still unemployed

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    What C660-xxx you have exactly?

    If you have an Intel graphics card, you must download the driver directly on the Intel site.

    Hello
    I don't have a model satellite pro 6000. PS600E-01NYE-FR

    I understand that it is an old laptop but had been treated with great care because I got it.

    Startup of the laptop is a route very well, but for some reason together and after no set amount of time the display fails
    a wot is visible on-screen is hundreds of tiny colored blocks, sometimes random horizontal lines
    but nothing is readable, at all.

    I tried to run a yellow one also using the video output external monitor, all appear the same.

    the only solution I can find is replaced the ram with

    Display Toshiba SP6000 (?) Problem

    I am not a technician, but I assume that there is probably a problem with the video card. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You should contact the service and make them run tests to verify the functionality of the video card. If the card is faulty, just replacement will help.

    Hi Barry,.

    I'd be inclined to return your laptop to an authorized Service Agent Toshiba. The OEM software should not require all the updated drivers at this early stage of his life, and the unit will be well within its warranty period.

    The closer your repairman details can be found on the Toshiba site.

  • Satellite M70-144: graphic hardware bug

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite m70-144, December 2005. Very nice computer, but there is an error with the ATI Radeon X 700 graphics card. Pixels are placed in random places with random on the same screen of _avant_ operating system is loaded.

    I called the shop here in Norway, and they told me that there is a bug of material on the ATI card, and it must be changed. So I returned the computer to the repair shop, and they have changed the card and installed it. It was okay when I got it, but now it's back to where he was. Pixels of error are randomly placed on the screen.
    Here is a screenshot of what happends: http://topland.frac.dk/test.jpg

    Before that the ATI card has changed, the computer crashed at random. Windows reported an error with the dll ATI drivers.
    NOTE: even once, this is not a fault of sofwate. defects in pixels are shown _avant_ the operating system loads.

    What should I do now? The graphics card is changed, and there is always a mistake.

    Do anyone else here have the problem?
    I want a new Toshiba Satellite M70-144 :'(

    Hi Jostein,

    Your laptop is still covered by the warranty, so I return it to your nearest Service agent for them to fix it again.

    As you say, the problem is not related to the operating system, so there must be a malfunction of the graphics card itself.

    Good luck

  • Qosmio G40-10 s: graphics card problem

    Hello.

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio G40 laptop 10s with a Nvidea 8600 M GT grafixs card. I was playing a game when it locked up and pasted what I would describe as flashing red/green 'Matrixy' search screen.

    He then a blue screen and trys to reeboot.
    He tries to start windows, but once again the top matrix. If it loads to the top, it is in 16 bit color with red dots all over the screen.

    I am sure that the GPU is fried... and I was wondering what I can do? It's been 5 months out of warranty now.

    I read on some forums that there have been a lot of problems with this Nvidea card... Is there anything I can do outside my warranty period with what there is a possibly faulty card in it from the beginning.

    It will cost a lot of money to get it repaired, but its too good a laptop to let go to waste.

    Any help is very appreciated.

    Hello

    You also have these lines on an external monitor?
    If so, there seems to be a graphics card problem and it must be replaced.

    These overheating problems also occur if you use the nVidia display drivers directly. Toshiba drivers are pre-tested and don't overheat your system.

    But I think you need professional help. You should contact an authorized service provider and talk to the technicians. They will help you! :)

  • Satisfied by Epox BT BT-DG06B and Satellite M70-144

    Hello!

    I bought the Epox bluetooth dongle. It also manages the bluetooth version 2.0 and 30 metres range.
    I use it via battery Microsoft BT who was already installed by default on my laptop Satellite m70-144.

    I think that my BT is not compatible with the Toshiba BT stack, or? Why should I use some other stack as stack windows? Are there differences between the batteries?

    Can I use my Nokia 6260 as a modem via BT. that was what I wanted.

    First of all, I tried to install software from toshiba is delivered with epox adapter but failed every time to install on my computer toshiba laptop. He was unable to install all the drivers and Setup was a loop... I also tried the most recent software (downloaded from www epox site) but the same effect.

    Really amazing was that this installation has worked well with my laptop to another, but not with Toshiba.

    By the way could someone tell me what is PAN and why should I use?

    Hello Vincent

    In my opinion, you can use what you want, and no one forced to use software from Toshiba. If you want you can use the battery Windows BT.

    I have Motorola mobile phone and use the Toshiba BT software. It works perfectly. The configuration is pretty easy.

    With PAN (or maybe PIN) number you average on key to past of identification for matching between laptop and mobile phone?

    Deploy a 5200-903 Toshiba Satellite. A few days ago, I have a problem with the display. All scratches and other
    unknown elements on the screen. It's the graphics card (FX GO5600). Read about it in other forums.

    My Question: Is it an embedded chart? And what do you think, is it profitable to change the broken component?
    I mean if the graphic is on board, I have to change the motherboard together.

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    Hello

    It's look like that there is a problem with a graphics card. Can you check connection of the external monitor to the laptop?
    The graphics card is integrated into the motherboard, therefore, you need to replace the whole motherboard.

  • Satellite A500 - 149 - graphics card problem

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500-149 and last week my screen has scratches ace.

    The grapichs card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650.

    I send the computer to Toshiba yesterday but I need feedback because a repair. If the same graph as problem could cost to repair?

    Anyone know?

    I think that no one here can help you. Either is defective graphics card or screen may only.
    In any case, if the GPU is defective, it will be quite expensive.

    I think you should contact Toshiba service and ask what is the result of the diagnosis and how much you have to pay for the repair.

  • Satellite L50 - A - 1EH NVIDIA Graphic card driver problem?

    Dear users,

    The day before yesterday I bought a Toshiba Satellite 15.6 L50-A-1EH model n: PSKK6E - 07Q05CDU

    By far I love the device, but I get BSOD notice whenever I start a game (probably because Intel on Nvidia?). I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT M 740 and am running Windows 8.1 64-bit.

    The problem may be caused by the fact that I updated the Nvidia driver for the first time to use my laptop. I have uninstalled the driver through Device Manager and reinstalled the Nvidia driver of [here | http://www.toshiba.nl/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=NL&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 178 & selProduct = 7948 selSh 3983 = ortMod & language = 12 & selOS = 47 & selType = all & yearu pload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = a llMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 24 & selectedLanguage = 12 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 88288 & DISO = 47 & driverLanguage = 42]

    But the BSOD came back. Yet once again, I deleted the driver currently installed and tried to install a new on the nVidia site itself. Yet again, my game crashes and I get an error.

    The error I get is:
    Unhandled Thread Exception system

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not that good at computers please keep this in mind.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I found some people more in the Microsoft forum having the same problem with the error message: System unhandled Thread Exception

    It seems that the nVidia driver compatibility problem between the driver and the software running (in your case the game)

    Try to remove/uninstall the old driver in Device Manager, and then remove the Nvidia folder on the C: drive. Then, restart the laptop.

    Try installing the latest driver nVIdia driver Toshiba UE page.

    The same graphics card was built in different Toshiba notebooks like:

  • Satellite X 200 - 21R - graphics card problem

    Hello

    When I start my laptop Satellite X 200 - 21R, there are three successive beep (3 x) and the screen is black.

    Apparently, it's the graphics card NVIDIA 8600GT DUAL SLI, it is defective.
    It is a montage of special graphics (SLI) card with 2 x GPU 8600 connected in parallel.

    If I disconnect the connection in parallel (unplug the two cards) and I can only connect one (to find the card that is dead)?
    It is possible and it is functional for the laptop?

    Thank you for your help

    To be honest, I can't imagine if it would be possible...
    Generally, any change of material must be accepted and supported by the BIOS and as much as I know any GPU changes would affect the BIOS as well as the features of the laptop.

    From my point of few to get the workbook, you must use exactly the same GPU chip, which was built in the laptop... but this seems to be a very expensive affair

  • Satellite L650D - 15K - graphics card problem

    Hello

    I updated accidentally driver graphic card ATI Radeon 5650 on the laptop, and then during the games and video look, the computer became very slow, the CPU usage is average on 60%.

    I uninstalled the latest driver, reinstalled the driver of my module provided on the Toshiba site (not the one on my computer, because I can not find where it is), but the problem remains, I don't know if the driver from the Web site is the same as on my laptop. It seems that there is some driver files that cannot always be deleted entirely. If I reinstall the whole system, I install and activate the software.

    Can someone tell me what should I do now?

    Thank you.

    Have you installed the latest driver ATI support page or the Toshiba download page?

    I mean it is recommended to use the Toshiba drivers only. I can't say this but I've heard that installing the non-Toshiba drivers can change some important values in the GPU BIOS.

    Of course, you can reinstall the recovery image and begin to use the laptop with factory again.
    It will be interesting to know if everything will be like before again.

    Back up all your important data, reinstalling the OS, test it and thanks for posting comments.
