Satellite M70-169: screen freezes and meshes + mouse freezes

• 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.

  Hello Pesche

  Instructions how to install Os using supplied recovery media, you can find under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2513&tstart=15

  I recommend to use the Expert installation mode and create a clean partition. When the computer starts for the first time you will be able to see the C partition only. The D partition must be created also in the OS, but is really not a problem.

  Exact explanation which you will find under:

• It is not recognized on Toshiba Satellite M70-169 Web site

  Hello
  I have a laptop TOSHIBA SATELLITE M70-169
  I wanted to update my drivers, so I logged on the TOSHIBA site.
  The problem is that my phone is not listed on the site, there are * M70-168 * and * M70-170 * but not * M70 - 169 *.
  I tried the recognition by serial number, result: DO NOT RECOGNISED

  I tested the autodetection, and here too, the result was: DO NOT RECOGNISED.
  I am surprised that my laptop is not recognized on the official website of TOSHIBA, while I had bought in a store.

  Can someone tell me if he had the same problem and give me directions to upgrade my laptop?

  Thank you

  Satellite M70 is old enough laptop model, and I can imagine that auto detection tool doesn't properly work. Your laptop is the model European and part PSM70E number (very important for research).
  In any case, you can find all the drivers or updates manually. Follow these steps:

  Visit the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
  Click tracking options:
  Type of product - ARCHIVE
  Family - SATELLITE
  Series of products - M SERIES SATELLITES
  Model - SATELLITE M70 (PSM70)
  Short model No. - PSM70E
  OS - operating system

  And all of the available stuff appears there.

  If you have any other questions let us know.

• Cannot re - install Power Saver on Satellite M70-169

  My laptop (Toshiba Satellite M70-169) will not properly charge my laptop battery. It will begin at the start of charging the battery, but then after awhile it stops when the battery is partially charged. I replaced the battery, but this has not solved the problem.

  To try to solve this problem, I tried to reinstall the BIOS, the Power Saver Driver then Power Save in that order.

  The first 2 steps seem to work; However after that I removed the power saving mode, I was unable to reinstall it from the version downloaded from the Web site. I extracted the installation in a folder on my c: drive, but when I tried to run setup.exe, nothing happened.

  Any ideas?

  Have you replaced new battery or the second battery is already being used?

  I have too many Satellite M70 and I think that this question is not related with software pre-installed. As much as I know Toshiba power Saver saver allows users to optimize the performance of the laptop or reduce energy consumption if the laptop is running on battery only. I put really think software preinstalled has something to with charger procedure and some influence on this.

  The fact is that each computer Toshiba laptop can work without Toshiba power saver utility on the same path using power options Windows XP Home/Vista edition. Because of this, I think that the battery must be replaced.

  What about the installation of standby power? According to the document of instructions for Installations you should install TOSHIBA Power Saver V1.36.0.1C only. try to delete the driver GST if you can find it under pre-installed software and install TOSHIBA Power Saver V1.36.0.1C only.

• Satellite M55-S135 screen freezes and becomes white.

  Recently, my computer screen freezes until I have the touch. I touch the screen I use the computer or the screen turns white and everything I type does not register on the screen. I see not the entrance until I get the screen and hold it pressed. Sometimes even if I hold the screen I can not imput to register, it will just white. Anyone know why this happens.

  This happens when the displaycable is not correctly connected to the control that is located at the top of the LCD screen. I highly recommend to send your machine to a service partner in your country and let check this problem. It could also be a malfunction of the material of the screen, but not for sure.

• Play NFS on the Satellite X 200 screen freezes shortly every 2-3 seconds

  I recently bought a Satellite X 200 with 2 x GeForce 8600 M GT in SLI.
  Due to the power of 2 graphics cards, I thought about playing games would be no problem.
  But it's not...

  I just bought Need For Speed - Pro Street and installed on my computer. I can't play the game, without the screen freezes shortly every 2-3 seconds.
  It seems that there is not enough power visually, but with 2 x 8600M GT in SLI? Will not take the game run smooth without delay?
  I have all the settings at low temperature and/or offshore, trying to see if that would solve the problem - but no.

  The menus and the intro works very well, but when driving cars in the game, it starts to lag.
  I've updated to latest drivers, but which did not help either.
  My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium, and my memory is 2 GB.

  A problem like this?

  Hmm I think that it of because of Vista.
  I read a lot of articles on issues such games on Vista OS.

  I found some Vista patches and patches but I really not 100% sure if this QFE have reason.

• Satellite M70-340: screen went completely blue or black

  Hello world
  I just bougth a portable Satellite M70-340 and twice tonight screen entered a single color (black once, once blue) and although I could still hear the windows work (I could hear the Windows alert sounds and alerts by MSN mail), the screen went completely blue or black. I assume that the error is caused by a problem of display driver, so I downloaded the latest driver present Intel on this site. I don't know if it will work.

  My question is, did this happen to someone of you? How did you solve this problem? And even though I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile, I could install the ATI driver on this site? (I prefer ATI driver since it is out of date.)

  Thank you all for your interest,
  Best regards.

  I guess you have mobile Intel graphics card. In this case, you can only use the graphic driver intel from the Toshiba page or are also website of intel.

  But you cannot use the ATI graphics driver! You laptop has ATI No. graphics card!

  However, you suggested that it is a new laptop. I would recommend to contact Toshiba service partner in your country. The guarantee is valid and you should take it!

• My Satellite M70 no longer works, and caps button flashes

  My problem was explained in the title. I just want to know if there is a problem or not. I work on Linux and windows XP, but the problem can happen in the BIOS.
  Thank you, Vivien.
  If you need more information, please ask me :)
  PS: it's the Satellite M70, and I changed the RAM

  Hello

  I'm afraid that you have to be a little more specific than one that's a little wave... but now that you mention that you have changed the RAM maybe this is related to the question of Mr. is your RAM speed appropriate for your laptop? (Example to 400 or 533 MHz, regardless of the speed is indicated for your product). Because if your RAM is at the wrong speed, or at a higher speed (for example, 667 MHz, which happened with me) the computer can crash/blue screen/go crazy.

  In fact, now I remember that my flash CAPS LOCK button too, because of the bad RAM or Aries do not correctly inserted. I recommend to check the speed of your RAM and make sure that you have inserted the right type, RAM speed and you have inserted it correctly

  I hope this helps.

  Hello

  I think I have a solution to your problem.
  The Satellite M70 was shipped with a SATA HDD and if you want to install the new OS you must first install the SATA drivers.

• Satellite M70 - black screen on startup

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my Satellite M70-309, so for two times after logo Toshiba, Windows Xp (home sp2) does not start.
  The result is a WHITE & BLACK SCREEN.
  So I turned off manually appeared then black screen where I can choose if starting normally, last good configuration etc...

  That's happened?
  Is a hardware problem? Because my cpu died last month I changed it.

  Thank you!
  (Sorry for my English I'm Italian)

  Hi, RSC

  It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but I assume that there is something wrong with the HARD drive. It will be interesting what happens with the new HARD drive.

  If possible also start the recovery procedure to see if the HARD drive will be recognized correctly and if the recovery procedure starts correctly. Check it using the installation in expert mode where you have access to information from HARD drive (partitions and so on).

• Re: Satellite A660-149 screen freezes

  Hello world

  I just bought a new A660-149 Satellite with i5, 4 GB, and 500 GB HDD last week that does not work properly. Is when I'm on the internet or listening to music, the screen and the sound crashes completely. I need to turn off the PC all the time. I don't know why this is happening because I've not yet installed all the programs, I do not have games and I did a scan with antivirus on a case where. He said: no virus found so I wonder if anyone had similar problems before.

  Any advice would be great.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Maybe it s only a software problem try to retrieve the device (install the OS by using HARD disk recovery) and again test the functionality of the laptop

  If the laptop freezes again even by using a new OS installed, then you should try to update the display driver.

  PS: Problem of memory could lead to these symptoms of portable, so if anything would help, the RAM (memory) should be checked.

  Good luck

• 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.

• Satellite A100-999 - screen flickers and goes black

  Hi, I have a problem with my Satellite A100-999.

  The screen flickers and then goes black. The works still laptop as I can connect to external monitors, but the laptop monitor are almost entirely black. It's happened before, but a reboot seemed to solve, however, Noah, as soon as the sign of the intel appears at startup, the screen turns off. It is not completely black - you can see the contours of some things on the screen, but it is almost completely black.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi xiuxiuejar_1,

  HM, if you can still see a picture on the laptop external monitor should be ok and it must be a problem with built-in LCD screen.

  Usually, if the display is it black malfunction in UPS s FL which controls the backlight of the screen, but if the screen flickers, it s the internal LCD display itself

  I guess that your laptop is not under warranty more so I would try exchanging the FL inverter it's a lot cheaper. You can order this FL inverter of an ASP or eBay but is not so easy to replace, because you have to disassemble the laptop monitor.

• Satellite A500 - 18Q - screen freezes and BSOD appears the screen

  I bought my computer 3 weeks ago and I have a problem.
  My computer froze or displays the blue screen. It happens randomly, without having to open any program.

  Sometimes half an hour or an hour later as I start my computer or nothing happens.
  I have windows 7 home.

  I need help

  Hmm BSODS can happen thanks to a software or hardware problem and therefore it is difficult to say what could cause this.
  The A500 seems to be a new model of laptop and I doubt that the dust could be the reason for the temperature more high which could cause the BSOD.
  However, you should check if the cooling modules are free of dust and it might be useful to clean using the can of compressed air.

  In addition, you should check if your BIOS is up to date.
  If this isn't the case,-> to update this!
