• Satellite M70-173 - cannot burn CDs or DVDs

  Hello

  I have an old but expensive laptop (Satellite M70-173). The CD/DVD drive is a carpet * a UJ - 841 s and can currently only read DVDs and CDs
  I have Nero installed 8.3.7.1, but it does not allow me to burn any DVD or CD
  I have all the updates that are installed for Nero, have also removed the "upper and lower limits" in the registry.

  It is not a mark of DVD or CD that I have not yet tried, but they all are coasters.

  I have the following options:

  1. try to set the drive - either with the technical assistance of the forum or replace the disk, so I decided that it is a hardware error

  2 buy a new laptop - but also like some advise on how to "clone" of the current notebook that I have so many other programs installed that I bought over the years and do not want to lose.

  I made copies pdf of burning errors I can post if necessary.

  Any help is welcome

  Kind regards
  Juan

  Hello!

  > I made copies pdf errors burning I can post if necessary.
  Yes, I think it's a good idea. ;)
  Otherwise it of a bit difficult to help you.

  But what CDs and DVDs you tried to burn? I have good experiences with Verbatim and TDK. Check it!
  And you should burn on a lower speed for CD e. g. 16 x.

• Satellite M70 - CLI - cannot install display or SM Bus controller driver

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M70 - cli PSM73C-CL100E and I got a new hard drive and loaded Windows xp. I went on the Toshiba site and downloaded and installed all the drivers. I have no problem with the wifi atheros, the sound, modem or chipset drivers. I also updated the bios v2.10 all successfully.

  The problem is with the video card. I used huntersoft program and know that the chipset is an ATI. He also says it's an ATIradeon xpress 200 m with 128 MB DDR shared video. When I try and install the ATI driver it says Setup could not complete the installation. Try to configure your graphics card with the standard vga driver.

  I spent hours on the net. I tried the ATI L30 XP driver and it does the same thing. I tried the driver ATI radeon xpress 200 m and it says not found material. I don't have the original CD I know he works as the old drive worked fine. Unfortunately, I wiped as well to put in a laptop more old. I should have gotten the drivers out of it. :(

  Does anyone have an idea? It drives me crazy! Thanks for any help. Marilyn

  Hi mjmx4,

  How have you tried to install the display driver?

  Normally, you can install the driver (screen) If you run the setup.exe file that comes with the driver package. Follow the instructions on the screen thanks to the installation of the driver, the driver will be installed.

  Alternative you can install the driver if you go to Device Manager and right click on the graphics card. Choose update driver and use advanced installation where you can choose the directory and the driver yourself.

  By the way: before starting with the installation of the driver, you must install Service Pack 3 for XP.

• Satellite M70-337: cannot install the Wlan driver

  Hello!

  My Satellite M70-337 has a problem. WiFi does not work and I can't install the driver for network controller. I downloaded all the drivers from the Toshiba Web site but it still does not work. If anyone knows what's going on, please let me know.

  My email: [email protected] Best Rgs.

  Hey Buddy

  Depending on the laptop that you use, you will need to choose the right WLan driver.
  Have you downloaded the WLan driver in the computer category laptop good?

  It seems that the satellite M70-337 contains the number of PSM77E and that is why you chose this series of mobile in the download form.

  Check that you have installed the wireless network card. It is important because the laptop might be bundled with various wireless network cards; for example with Intel or Atheros.

  I think that if you chose the right laptop and use the good Wlan card that everything will work out ;)

• Satellite M70: How to install WXP Pro without SP with SATA drivers?

  I know that this topic is discussed repeatedly,
  I get a blue screen when I try to install WXP pro... blah blah blah

  The solution is to install the SATA drive.

  The problem is that I don't have a floppy drive to install the SATA drive, so what can I do?

  Hello

  The use of the disk is the best way to install the SATA or RAID drivers.
  But I searched a bit on the net and found nLite.
  You can use nLite and include the drivers then you do not have to use the
  floppy.

• Installing Win7 on Satellite M70-173 - query of wireless internet

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M70-173, which I think to be up-to-date with windows 7. However after you run the windows 7 Advisor, he told me to download the driver of the wireless device that is:

  Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection

  I put t really know what it is? Is my wireless 'card '?
  In any case, I check on the Intel site for the updated drivers for win7, and he says:

  "Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection does not support Microsoft Windows * 7.

  Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection is no longer manufactured by Intel, nor Intel provide any future software updates to support new operating systems or improve compatibility with devices and third-party software products. "

  Does this mean that I should not install Windows 7?

  How can I work around this problem, do need me to upgrade and how much would this cost?
  Thank you

  Satellite or Equium M70 is old model of laptop computer designed for Windows XP Home edition, so it is certainly not taken in charge for Win7. It is certainly possible to install Win7 on this laptop, but you will not be able to make it work with all the options that are specific to Toshiba.

  Yes it's the wireless card if this card doesn t work for lack of best drivers and the best option for you is to buy the wireless USB dongle. Ask your dealer how local it costs. As far as I know that's not expensive.

• Satellite M70-173 - fatal error - new drive HARD and recovery.

  Excuse my lack of knowledge.

  I received a Satellite M70-173.

  to turn on before charging readings - fatal error; I have to save all my data and replace the hard drive.

  I don't know if it's fixable and that's what I have to do. I also said that when you replace a HARD disk I need a recovery disk.

  I reside in Cyprus and don't have is not easy access to the shops of style PC big supermarket.

  I was wondering if I could use a generic HDD and if so is there a particular one that I need to acquire?

  Also

  where would I go to get a recovery disk?

  I got the laptop I can't afford to buy a new one at the moment and it is still in very good condition apart from the above-mentioned problems!

  I wish that all the advice on what type of HARD drive, I would need or is available - rough cost so I don't get ripped off and if we change the disk HARD is as easy as I read. Also where I should go to get a recovery disc and if that's all I need to fix the laptop.

  Thank you very much in advance for any help I can get.

  Peter

  > The laptop does turn on - is it possible to make a recovery of a damaged laptop disk

  How do you do if you can't turn on the laptop?

  What you could do is to remove the HARD drive, then place it into the drive enclosure HARD 2.5 external, then connect the HARD drive to another computer, to save the data.

  In my opinion this is what you could do

• I forgot the password of BIOS Satellite M70-173

  Satellite M70-173 - I forgot the BIOS password. What can or what should I do?
  Thanks for help or advice.
  kohorta

  HI Kohorta,

  There are few things you can do if you have forgotten your BIOS password. The only effective way to reset it is to take the appliance to your nearest authorised Service partner who has the necessary equipment for re-flashing your BIOS chip. They generally must prove you your ship-owner of the laptop before it will change.

  You can find various utilities listed on some websites and also some means to bypass the BIOS password, but they are absolutely not guaranteed to work on most modern laptops.

  Kind regards

• 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 M70-173: spontaneous reboots

  I have a M70-173 that restarts spontaneously. It is under XP Home SP3 and has all updates applied.

  Reboots are more common at certain times than others, but the only clue that I have on the cause, it's that they seem to be more frequent when I have the wireless network card.

  I realize that it is much much to go, but everyone has ideas about what could happen?

  TIA

  I have Satellite M70-159 almost two years now and it works like the first day. No reboot and some strange questions. I always use SP2 and do not want to install SP3. After reading some comments here, I don't want to have a few problems with OS well running.

  What exactly happens? Laptop switches OFF and you need to start it again or laptop restarts as after reboot of the choice of option?
  Is there any message or something? An application that runs in the background is possibly responsible for this.

  If possible, install your laptop with the recovery image and see if the problem recurs. Sorry, but it is not possible to say with certainty why this happen. We can only speculate, here. All we have own OS configuration and use favorite applications, freeware and shareware applications. Many of them are not so good and everything is possible.

• Problem starting Satellite M70-173

  I have a problem with my laptop, since uninstalling Norton Internet security, I had a program to freeze. The only way to stop it was to maintain the power key. Since then, when I turn the machine when starting the machine to start and after about 1 sec no activity. I don't get the start-up of the screen. If I leave the laptop for several hours I can start and after a short period the computer freezes once more and I can't restart. I noticed several people reporting this kind of problem but cannot find any solution. Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I really wonder what problems people have with laptops. I have Satellite M70-159 over one year and never noticed anything like that.

  Operating system is installed with recovery DVDs and the first thing I do after recovering is to remove Norton antivir application. Trust me I did it more than 10 times and never noticed any a? freezinga? questions. I don't know what you're doing, but if I remember well, there are two entries for Norton in Add/Remove programs.

  At first remove a? UpdateA Norton Live? and later Norton app itself. Overview you will find under http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6B01NM000ER01.htm

  I don't know where you have founded a? several people reporting this kind of problem? but I can say for sure, it may not happen because of Norton. There must be something else. Maybe you deleted some other tips and startup procedure cannot be done correctly. It's really not easy to say what the problem is here.

  I recommend you to install OS using recovery delivered DVDs. When finished remove Norton as described in the document of Toshiba. I hope that everything will be OK again.

  Good luck!

  Laptop Satellite M70-181.

  Thank you.

  Hello!

  Have you installed all the drivers for your laptop and also the network wireless driver? You can find all the drivers on the Toshiba site.
  Check for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager.

  Here in the forum, you can find 100 or discussions on the wireless LAN using.. Please search for it.
  Use of WLAN you should check the TCP/IP (DHCP or IP) WLAN card settings and you should use the same standard WLAN (e.g. 802. 11b) as on the router. Then, you should see the router and if you know the password, however, you can connect.
  If you can find t the router, disconnect it from the AC/DC adapter for 5 minutes and then plug it in again.
