• Satellite M70-122: Question about the necessary drivers for Win XP Pro

  Hello
  I formatted my Satellite M70-122 in order to install Win XP - Pro and so I lost all drivers and programs pre installed. It seems that the recovery CD is of no use in this case, and I was wondering if there was a driver CD, I could order.
  I found the drivers (62 so far) for my machine on the Toshiba site and I was as well, I was wondering if I should download and install all. What about programs like the CD/DVD burner?
  Where can I get them back?

  Thank you.

  Christophe

  Hello

  The Tools & Utilities CD but that contains all the necessary drivers is not delivered with the unit, can be created by the user himself. If the unit is installed with recovery media you can find under Toshiba assist > protect & difficulty > create CD drivers & tools.

  All these drivers, tools & utilities that you can use for your own installation. Otherwise you need to download them from Toshiba download page, and please check the instructions facilities document and install all things in order. Order of the facilities is very important.

  Good luck!

• Satellite M70-340: Question about the warranty if I buy in Russia and move to Australia

  I would buy the Satellite M70-340 laptop here in Russia. Next month I'll move to Australia. What the warranty in this case?

  Will I be charged if problems occur?
  How can I recognize a laptop that is officially sold (= I mean legally delivered and comes with a guarantee in the world)?

  Thank you very much for your answer!

  To my knowledge, you can save your laptop on the European site of Toshiba for services and extensions of warranty and uprisings.
  The serial number of the laptop must be registered generally on this site.
  I think you can buy a few additional warranty packages that allow you to get the guarantee availability in the world.

  But usually if something goes wrong on the laptop you will need to contact Toshiba authorized service partner in your country.
  On the Toshiba support page, you will also find a database for service partners worldwide.

  Hello

  I found the info you can use batteries to follow: PA3457U-1BAS (8cell) and PA3457U-1BRS (8cell). I don't l? t find the info that you can use better. The battery 8 cells is probably the best you can have.

  As far as I know your device must be supplied with DVD-super multi drive and I don? t know what you mean with best. Is it not enough?

  RAM can expand and you can use DDR2 400/533 512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51) and DDR2 400/533 module 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G). Maximum RAM for this device is 2 GB.

  Other info you can get from your local dealer.

• Satellite M70-148 - ATI driver blocks everything in windows starts

  Hello

  Strange thing, when I start windows xp, the windows on the slider blocks

  I have a Mobility Radeon x 700 graphics card in the Satellite M70-148.
  I have seen that it is the graphics driver that gives the problem

  I have restore dvd toshiba with the same problem.
  I was on the site to download the latest driver maybe again the same problem

  I went to AMD for another driver, again the same problem.
  The only rider agreed to work is the driver of windows, but the quality is not top (max resolution 1024-768)

  In safe mode no locking

  I also upgraded the Bios without result (and I don "t want to replace the motherboard)

  An idea for the other driver for better work

  Thanks for any help

  Hi mate

  It is difficult to say what issue it could be
  You said that the graphics card a few worries and the laptop does not event after using the Toshiba recovery.

  That s weird. This means that there is something wrong with the hardware in your case perhaps the problem of graphics chip :(

  But without a hardware test it is really not easy to say what part has been affected.
  I think you should contact the technician ASP pourrait test the laptop, check the motherboard and might be able to provide more details
  Then you could decide what to do

• Re: Satellite M70-148 - new compatible DVD player

  I have a Satellite M70-148 and the DVD writer is dead some time ago, I'm looking to replace it now but I'm stuck. After looking a bit on Amazon, I found these:
  http://www.Amazon.de/GP/product/B0052JJ44C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=AX7W93QYFVSA2
  http://www.Amazon.de/GP/product/B0052JJ2P8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&m=AX7W93QYFVSA2

  Is the 2 only I could find on Amazon, I asked the seller as well, but I prefer to know for sure, anyone know if either will fit in a M70 148? All this looks like but what about the connector etc...

  Thanks for any help!

  Hey,.

  What vendor you asked?
  If it were an authorized service provider, you can be sure that the readers, they mentioned will not work properly and I would like to buy only one disk recommended by a service provider authorized because different readers have different pinouts, etc. to 100%, so not all readers are compatible.

  I can t tell if Amazon readers are compatible or not, but if you ask an authorized service provider can give you an exact answer ;)

• Question about "Windows 8.1 DG to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and Windows product key

  I have acquired a recnet ThinkPad T450 fdrom a retialer online (NCIX) and I hav ea a few questions about the installed Windows operating system.

  Before I just go further, HRE are some information about my particular system.

  Lenovo ThinkPad T450

  Model: 20BV00BUS

  CPU: Intel Core i5-4300U

  RAM: 4 GB

  Under the product description, it was stated "Windows 8.1 DG Windows 7 Pro 64." My understnading, the ThiknPad has been installed with Windows 8.1, but downgraded to Windows 7. There is also a Windows 8 Pro badge sticker at the bottom of the matchine.

  Is it possible, at the end of the user/consumer, to alter the functioning ti repressive back Windows 8.1?

  Can I create a recovery with Windows 8.1 disk?

  A separate but related matter relates to the Windows product key.

  I noticed the Ultrabook do not come with a sticker / label with the Windows product key (i.e. COST). Some quick research indicated that the Windows key is programmed into the BIOS.

  This indeed true (I wish an audit)?

  The key is visible in some way (for when you need to reinstall the operating system. I have not tried to enter the BIOS at the moment)?

  Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

  Kind regards

  Victor L.

  Hi Victor,

  I'm in the same boat as you type, but want to keep the facilities of Windows 7 rather than pass them to 8. Just like you, I buy our Lenovo from different retailers and they come with windows 7 installed through the Windows 8 lower upgrade program.

  We had one or two laptops come with a recovery media (for windows 8/8.1 only) but have noticed that all laptops now come with no physical media or codes for the recovery. WIN8 stickers, you described is more came with the license key on the sticker (it comes to stop you using the same license again and again, microsoft will get more money if you buy another license etc.). I also saw that the key is essentially located in the BIOS but were not able to test what we use any of windows 8. I use it even at home!

  To answer your question, you can get a recovery of Lenovo for Windows 8 media!

  Go to the following link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovorecovery

  (It help you understand why this method is used on this page as well)

  Select Start,

  Please have your serial number of your laptop, (to find it go to this link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/find-product-name)

  If you qualify (which you will very probably) Lenovo will ship for free, recovery disks give it a go, took me 2 minutes.

  I hope this helps.

  Best regards, Max.

• Satellite U405D - several questions about overheating/disassembly/upgrading etc.

  Hello

  I have several questions about my old one by Satellite U405D-S2910

  1. when it works, after 2-3 hours (I run usually small programs such as safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85 to 90 C (178-188). When I play age of Empires 2 (come on, its an old game) like 2-3 hours, it stops. What could be the possible reason? Furthermore, let me inform you about the climate of the city I live, 30 c temperature - humidity 25-35% (today).
  PS. CPU is AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model RM-74

  2. I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think at the rate of overheating is this). It does seem like a desktop computer, so complicated. Ive seen a disassembly not to not (btw, its so difficult to spell dismantling :) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions on this subject? experiences could help me?

  3. my laptops is Ram 2x2gb PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM memory, I want to replace RAM memory 2x2gb MACH XTREME DDR2 1333 MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK. Should I do it? Fit my portable, stable work? any suggestions?
  PS. motherboard chipset AMD M780V

  4 - Finally :), should I use OS 64 - bit or 32-bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  1 + 2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. That is why it s not necessary to remove, just blow softly and soon the air through the laptop. You can buy such compressed air which squirts of each computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
  You can find a useful article about this here:

  3. in my opinion he should forget this update! The speed of the RAM is related to the FSB of the CPU and as much as I know about Satellite U405D it s 667 MHz so it s already the RAM faster than you can have. Save your money and buy a larger HARD drive or in the best case a SSD that can really improve the performance!

  4. in my view, the answer is clear: Windows 7 64-bit.
  Only a 64-bit OS supports full 4 GB of RAM. ;)

• Satellite M70-192 - question of HARD drive replacement

  Hello...

  It's just my first time to ask for help in this forum... and besides, in any forum on the whole wide net.
  So, sorry if am don't do this right... that's...

  My brother bought a laptop (Toshiba Satellite M70 - 192 psm71e-01k00rar) of the Kuwait around 2006. A few months ago we started hearing "noise noise deaf deaf" - ing sound inside the camera and the screen is just deleted (there was an error message that is encrypted but I wasn't able to note it). I was able to boot from the DVD or USB drive. So I thought that maybe the hard drive has been the only problem.

  I put in a new HARD drive (a 320 GB western digital scorpio wd3200bevt) and started to reinstall the system (I forgot which of the 2 supplied Toshiba cd I inserted first - media cd or the windows xp CD-ROM) but in the middle of installing the keyboard area was so hot that I unplugged / stop the laptop immediately.

  After that, the HARD drive has become invisible to any Linux or rescue CD or utility of HARD drive that I tried to boot from... (fortunately?) The said HDD vendor as the HARD wd scorpio drive + really + defective and they replaced...

  * now the questions: * I discovered that the rated current for the HARD drive (60 GB) provided originally for the Toshiba M70 is a little bigger than the new wd scorpio *(.55 amp) *. Could this be the reason why the 1st WD Scorpion got "fried"?
  Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
  How can I _properly_ replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?

  Please note that before I bought the new HARD drive, I ve read somewhere in the "net I could use a disk sata2 on a sata1 controller, etc. + * pls help!" * +

  Toshiba services are simply too expensive for me right now if will send it (cell phone) in a licensed shop. Why I'm in DIY mode that s. I don't think I can afford an another fried Scorpion!

  Thank you!
  yours,
  TAC

  > I discovered that the rated current for the HARD drive (60 GB) provided originally for the Toshiba M70 is a little bigger than the new wd Scorpion (.55 MPA). Could this be the reason why the 1st WD Scorpion got "fried"?

  I don t think that a larger and faster HARD drive might be the reason for the higher internal temperature.
  You said that you have heard and his strange "noise noise deaf deaf." Such sound could be created by the defective cooling module. A defective module could be responsible for the highest internal temperature

  > Is it a SATA1 - SATA2 question?
  Here's your second thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=150272
  You can see that the SATA2 is compatible to the bottom and the s SATA2 HARD drive would work with common controller SATA HDD.

  > How can I properly replace/upgrade our laptop HARD drive?
  Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult. I see that you have already found the HARD drive Bay and bought a HARD drive.
  In your case I recommend using the common SATA 2.5 HARD drive with 100 GB maybe 120 GB.

• 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.

• Satellite M70 blocks when many windows are open

  Hello.

  I have a satellite m70 and laptop sometimes bloks when I open multiple windows. after it he bloks itself i can't get out. windons severeal stay open in the office, and it is a bit slow.
  can someone help me?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  This problem occurs if you use some heavy software simultaneously (multitasking).
  I guess in this case the CPU and memory with maximum performance, but it takes a little longer because of the many programs and background processes running at the same time.
  What you can do is to upgrade the memory or / and cancel some background processes which are not necessary.

• Satellite L505 - 14K - cannot read Windows key label CoA

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite L505 - 14K on which I need to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, but Windows key on the label is unreadable. Could I get a replacement for it?

  Also I can not read the HARD drive Windows code because it has been formatted before that I get this laptop in my hands...
  Maybe I can get either a phone number or e-mail address to a branch of Toshiba Polish, so I could communicate with them in this case?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Toshiba doesn't provide the keys to series for windows systems. On the label, you'll find the serial OEM key but this key cannot be used for activation of the system.
  Toshiba offers a clean recovery image that already contains the active Windows System.

  This recovery disk can be ordered here:

• Satellite M70 - not all the FN keys available in Win Xp

  Satellite M70

  750, 1 G DDr2, ATi x 700 PM

  I use XP + Vista, firstly I updated my BIOS to 5.10 under VISTA

  FN works great under vista. However, in XP only ESC + F1, F2, F3, F4, F10, F11, F12 work

  Only the F1 has an icon when I press LCD brightness, wifi, tounchpad power and Fn + space not working do not.
  No change, no show the icon?

  Anyone had this problem before?

  Hello

  The FN keys don't work on your laptop running Win XP because of the BIOS.
  You have updated the BIOS that is specially designed for the Vista operating system.

  So you will be able to use the FN key in Vista, but some simple buttons will not work with Win XP

  There are also other BIOS (at that time 1.50) that has been specially designed for Win XP.

  So, if you use two BONES; XP and Vista, then you must decide what OS must support the FN keys.
