• Satellite M70-181 to perform the recovery of proceeds of DVD USB drive

  Hello

  I am trying to recreate the image on my Satellite M70 181 using the product recovery DVD.
  Should be easy, you might say, but the internal DVD player no longer works.
  I don't want to buy a new laptop this quite old, so I borrowed an external USB drive.

  After that I inserted the product recovery DVD the notebook starts from there, autoexec creates a RAMDRIVE and copy the files from there.
  "Recover.bat", the external DVD player analysis must be accessible via the X: drive. However, there are has some missing files on the DVD to mount the external DVD drive: there is no file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB20. DEV, nor a file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB11. DEV.
  Failure of the attempt to mount the external hard drive, recover.bat starts a loop saying 'Please insert Recovery CD #1!'.

  What can I do now? Help, please.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  As much I know this model of laptop can't boot from USB CD/DVD drive and CD recovery.
  You can boot from the USB FDD drive and a bootable floppy drive but I doubt that this is not possible with a Toshiba restore disk.

  I think that you could use this recovery disk as part of internal ODD.

• Satellite M70-181 - cannot see the wireless network

  Hello

  I reinstalled the entire system (Windows XP) and now system did not see the network wireless at all. How can I install it and put it back?

  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.

• Need old Bios for Satellite M70 181

  Everyone knowes where I can get old Versions of BIOS (operating system independent) for my Satellite M70 - 181 (PSM70)?
  Look for the Version 1, 00 - WIN or 1 10-WIN-in the new BIOS, there is no need for cooler adjust :(

  Hello

  > Does anyone know where I can get old Versions of BIOS (operating system independent) for my Satellite M70 - 181 (PSM70)?
  I m afraid you won't find older BIOS versions for download on the pages of Toshiba I have found that the latest versions of BIOS.

  If you want you could contact the partner of service allowed in your country and ask if it of possible to get older versions of BIOS

  But look, man. I doubt that an older BIOS would support or contains a few additional options or settings that are not available in the latest BIOS.

• 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.

  But even if there are no Windows 7 drivers, you could install Windows 7 laptop computer s hardware specifications are good enough to run Windows 7 on this device.
  You need to find the key to your own hand drivers. Many laptops are released with the same pieces of equipment, so probably the drivers released for other cell phones would be compatible with the M70 series.

• Satellite M70 - 181:How to unlock the keyboard?

  Hello

  My laptop Satellite M70 does not accept any input key when Windows has started. I suppose some kind of keyboard lock was accidentally activated. Anyone know how to unlock the keyboard?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Check if the LED under the F10 or / and F11 keys lights.
  If yes then disable this feature with the FN + F10 or + F11 key combination

• Re: Linux on Satellite M70-181 - recommendations?

  Hello

  as Windows XP support will end next April and my old Satellite still works
  I wonder if anyone has any experience with Linus on this type of laptop.

  Are there recommendations regarding verson (Ubuntu, SUSE, Debian,...).

  Are there drivers available? (impossible to find anything on the Toshiba site).
  Thank you

  Hello

  This question should probably be divided into 2 sections.

  (1) stability and security.
  It's always a good idea to stick to a branch that is stable and continue to release updates for the given distribution.

  Look at Debian or RedHat (CentOS is a free 'clone' of RedHat).
  Debian and RedHat (CentOS) support their distributions of life or a long time (RedHat) or via a rolling update mechanism (Debian) release.

  (2) performance
  Having a unit of the old school as the M70 really forces you to look at what desktop environment you should look.

  You must avoid KDE4, Gnome3, cinnamon and Unity (specific to Ubuntu). They all look nice and have fancy features but will be (too) heavy load for your old unit to carry.
  Search for rather Mate, LXDE, office environments focused on XFCE for a balanced experience.
  If you want to go for a very lean office there are a number of choices such as Openbox and other similar environments.

  So to sum up - the choice of the distribution is not very easy because it is a decision (at least) 2-step.
  Security/stabilty and choice of desktop environment where the last of them will have the most impact on the memory footprint and processor.

  Here's a place to start looking for your desktop of choice:

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment

  This is a very good site for verification of distributions:

• Satellite M70-181: no photo with Beamer liked

  Hi people!

  I have a problem with my M70 Sat with integrated graphics card intel. BIOS and drivers are up to date.

  I want to connect to an older SONY projector (5 years) with a regular vga cable to the external VGA port of my toshiba. However, the VGA port seems not to be active and there is no picture on the projector. FN + F5 shows only the internal LCD screen. Reset with a connected projector is not solve this problem.

  It seems that the graphics card does not recognize the beamer (I guess that's not compatible DCC) and so is not active the vga port. So I think I need to force the graphics card to activate it. Does anyone know how I could do this.
  Or am I totally wrong?

  Bye,.

• Satellite M70-181 and ODD external

  My doesn´t DVD player work more, I want to buy an external drive, it's cheaper and better for me, but I think that it work with the old bios doesn´t. I can't set usb boot.

  I have found a new version of the bios from 2009, with this version, it is possible to start with an external dvd drive?

  Yours sincerely

  Jochen

  >... but I think that it work with the old bios doesn´t
  If you use external ODD with the operating system running, it will work perfectly. You can use firewire or USB port and it wil work properly but if you ned as boot device this can be problematic.
  This old model of laptop is not designed for this purpose and there is nothing you can do about it.
  Latest version of BIOS for this old book is already online and the BIOS update will not change anything.

  Sorry, but the best option for you is to buy internal ODD on eBay. Exchange and be happy.

• Satellite M70-181: the wifi does not work

  Hello

  I'm in New Zealand at the moment and a fortnight ago, I changed my bios password but forgot it. To solve this problem I send the laptop to Toshiba in Christchurch and they reset for me. But since that day my wireless does not work. When I turn it on not even the light. Is not in one of the normal places (like in the network environment or how ever you call it).
  Would it be a problem with the hardware, and it is easy to fix by cause me I didn't have the waiting time until they do it again in Christchurch.

  Thanks for all the answers

  They could have damaged antenna card wifi inside your computer. If you have technical skills, you can fix it yourself, but if you don't just send the laptop back and let check them again.

• Satellite M70 - down keyboard when the HARD drive gets hot

  My Satellite M70-181 begins typing "t" series when you reach the working temperature. In my case, if the HARD disk exceeds a temperature of 48-50 ° C (speedfan).
  I replaced the original Travelstar with a new HDD Samsung, but it becomes so hot that precedes it and the blackout keyboard still appears.
  Because the processor is idle most of the time, the fan is too slow. But the fan doesn't seem to affect the temperature of the HARD drive in any case.
  Any ideas anyone? (Sorry for this kind of English...)

  Frank

  Hello

  Have you noticed this problem with keyboard only when the temperature is raised to a higher level?

  To be honest, I have never experience this problem and I can't believe that a higher temperature of HARD drive could affect the functionality of keyboard

  However, maybe you should clean the grids and the cooling fans. The notebooks are clogged with dust and don t cooling modules work properly.
  Use a jet of compressed air which should help to remove dust, I think this should help to reduce the internal temperature.

• Satellite M70 - 354 - no sound after having some work done.

  I got a Satellite M70 354 without software. I downloaded the drivers from Toshiba site tried to install XP, but when I came to SoundDrivers I found different situations.

  As a first step, the President-symbol was visible and I heard the wave when you start and shut down Windows. After doing some work, the symbol was always there, but no sound was to be heard. I think it has to do with the different drivers installation sequence.

  Can anyone provide a solution such as:
  (1) LANDriver
  (2) sound
  (3) display

  Thank you!

  Hey mate,

  Have you already checked for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager? You must make sure that the sound card is listed there without yellow exclamation point. Check it!

  I put t know but maybe that only the sound is muted? You can enable or disable using FN + ESC.

  Finally, and especially in what concerns the order of installation you can find the document on the Toshiba page installation instructions. There, you can check the correct installation for your laptop and XP order.

• Display problems on Satellite M70

  I use 70 M Satellite laptop, purchased approximately more than a year back and really like it (M70 Pentium, 512 MB Ram, 40 GB HD). So far, it has been without major problems.

  The only problem now is that a few times the screen for a second or a fraction of a second. It happens randomly, once or twice a day and flicker is more prmonant in the lower part of the screen. Seems a minor problem but it bugs me because I think that it is too early for a laptop show such a question and it can change over time. What do you think of him? Is this a problem with the chip graphic (it has Mobile Intel 915 GM), card mother or any other material? Doesn't seem to be a problem of software for me.

  BTW I saw these flutter in two other laptops from Toshiba not with my friends, but in their case it was more frequent and prominent and the entire screen will be flutter and shake for a second / or a fraction of a second, a feeling very, very unpleasant.

  My problem is that I can't even show it to a tech because I don't know how I can reproduce this floating to show him, that happens only rarely and randomly.

  I want to say to two other minor problems with M70 as well:

  I put in the power settings, the screen to turn off after 5 minutes and the laptop to be on standby after 10 minutes. When the screen is off and the laptop still did not in standby mode, the normal behavior of the screen is to be ON if you press the touch key (or mouse). I noticed that sometimes the screen will become not THE same to touch the mousepad, totally, it fails to do so. Obviously I can not access the windows logoff / restart at this time that the screen is OFF. Then I'll just close the lid (which puts the laptop into hibernation), and reopen it to make it again, the screen will become ON this time. I do not reset to prevent my current loss of data at the time of the power.
  I noticed this problem early, after I bought it. He rarely goes well (once / twice a month). Everything has noticed this problem?

  Another issue that happens too rarely (once in a month or two): sometimes while working with laptop, all of a sudden s computer screen laptop will become lemon green, light blue (not BSOD) or pearly white or another color like that. Yet once of course I can't access the windows logoff / restart at this time here, so I'll just close the lid (which puts the laptop into hibernation) and then reopen the lid to make laptop ON again; the screen will become generally Ok this time. I try not to be able to reset here also to prevent my loss of current data at that time here.
  This issue has been there too since from the beginning.

  All these comments make me think that there is a problem with my Toshiba of day 1, probably the graphics? Think you and advice on this subject?

  Really, I'm going to be reluctant to buy a Toshiba next time because of these problems.

  Hello aiglehawk

  I read your announcement with a lot of attention because I have Satellite M70-159 almost a year now and it's always very interesting to see what other M70 owners report on this model of laptop.

  Unfortunately here in the forum is not possible to give you an accurate diagnosis, but I just want to write my comment on your ad. Perhaps of strange sounds, but I'll start with your last sentence:

  > Really, I'll be reluctant to buy a Toshiba next time because of these problems.

  In my opinion, this sentence is absolutely superfluous and I'm sure you'll write the same thing if you had any other non-Toshiba laptop. I understand you, but you know very well that if BMW produce 100 cars it can always happen that 5 of them have a fault.

  Believe me, that my Satellite M70 is almost permanent (day and night). I get it from the company where I work and I don't like at all on this subject. It runs and. I tried all the stuff you wrote in your ad and it works perfectly. Energy-saving all settings, I changed several times and I have never noticed something similar.

  Yes you're right about the service. I think that you can't reproduce it, but I'm sure you know very well the technician have different tools of diagnosis for the verification of the material. With the help of these tools they may know if some hardware component is defective or not.

  Because of this I recommend you contact the service. They check your laptop. The warranty is still valid?

  In the end, I will also say that I love my M70 and I am very happy to have. But as next laptop I would like to have some monster like Qosmio laptops.

  Good luck my friend and please let me know the results of the service.
