  Hello

  The HARD drive slot is not repairable. It s a HARD disk controller and I guess the HARD disk controller is dead.
  The HARD disk controller is part of the motherboard and if you want to repair it, so the entire motherboard must be replaced.

  New motherboard would cost a small fortune he of not good about market 350Euros
  That's why I put t think it is s to replace the mobo only to get the HARD drive in the first location of work

  This is my personal opinion...

• Satellite A200 - 1 M 5: sounds from the HARD disk that is not regular

  Dear,

  I bought a new Satellite A200 - 1 M 5 1 week there are, but I have noticed a noise coming from your hard drive that is not regular, whenever the drive is currently in use, there is a noise from him. It's weird, I had Satellite phones precedents and never faced that.
  is this normal in this series of satellites? or damage my hard drive? Although it works very well so far.

  Who is normal behavior that the HARD drive makes sounds while working.
  On some disks, the sound is louder and some drives are quieter.

  My laptop comes with a 100 GB HARD drive and I noticed that this HARD drive work harder than the previous 40 GB HARD disk.

  I don t think that there might be a problem with your HARD drive. It of new.
  So, in my opinion you should t be worried.

  and if the HARD drive is going to die your warranty covers the replacement ;)

• Satellite A10: "base system device" after reinstalling the HARD disk

  I formatted the hard drive of my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A10) and downloaded the necessary drivers of Toshiba Europe's web site. Everything worked very well. So I decided to update my (bad decision) network card driver and it has slowed down considerably the system.

  Believing that I was holding the solution in my hands, I formatted to new HARD drive, and when it came to reinstall the drivers all loaded ok except one:
  BASE SYSTEM DEVICE
  Please let me know how to solve this problem.

  Have you installed the chipset utility?
  If this is not the case, first of all do before installing any other Toshiba tools and drivers.

  I recommend to use the Toshiba Recovery CD.

• Satellite A200-137 - cannot install windows after the hard disk crash

  last week my a200-137 crashed and now I have the new hitachi 500 GB hard drive on it, even before the accident.
  I have install with Toshiba recovery DVD windows Vista on it and after succesfull installed I have to start windows, it says prepare for first use windows then I have to wait a while and then I get the message that windows setup is not complete. But it is complete!

  After trying to install 3 times with recovert I tried to install windows xp.
  After a few minutes and transering files, I don't get the message no disc found! It is said that there is no hard drive on the laptop!
  But when I start the start menu or the settings menu, I can see the 500 GB Hitachi hard drive!

  So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

  > So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why you can not install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same thing will happen when you replace the HARD with the same or identical.
  This title was the original HARD drive?
  If possible, try to get original Microsoft installation disc and check if the HARD drive will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and boot OS preinstalled.

  Regarding the installation of Windows XP Home edition: it is well known that the WXP installation will start properly due to lack of SATA driver that must be loaded prior to installation of WXP begins.
  Check out this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.

• Satellite M70-337 won't boot to the top

  Hello

  This unit worked ok.
  He came to say that the necessary charge battery, so the diet was attatched, but nothing happened.
  Now the battery is discharged and the unit comes on even with the power supply connected.

  I checked the output of the power supply and that seems to be ok.

  It is likely that it is just the DC cylindrical connector on the laptop, or is it a more serious problem?

  Kind regards
  Nigel.

  Hello

  Perhaps my advice might help you;
  Try this:

  -Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
  -wait on ~ 20-30 min
  -assemble the two parts (battery & AC)
  -try to boot the machine

  If this will not help then it s a serious issue and the local ASP is your last resort.

  Good luck

• Replacement of the HARD disk on Equium A100-337 - installation of operating system recovery disc?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 337 Vista Premium. Unfortunately, the HARD drive died in it and it is out of warranty.

  I have the recovery CD and it have used before so know this works.

  I intend to put in a HARD drive replacement, but looking around, I can get a much better deal on something like maxtor/WD/seagate.
  It would be a problem for the recovery CD?

  In addition, the original disk is 60 GB - but if possible, while I replace in any case, I like to put in a bigger. What worries me is if the recovery CD is for 60 GB image pre - and then the rest of a larger HARD drive would be just wasted space? (if indeed it would even work in the first place)

  Someone else put in a brand/different size of HDD and used the successfully recovery CD? I have to admit not knowing much about how does the recovery process, pointers on that would be appreciated also.

  See you soon.

  A different size will be fine. Not sure about the different makes it well, but as far as I know, as long as it has the same interface as the original HARD disk, and then you'll be fine.

  A Yes, the recovery works on a more than 60 GB HARD drive.

  I hope this helps.

• Can satellite M70-337 - I put the HARD drive?

  Hi all,.

  I have a Satellite M70-337, the vehicle currently has 40 GB of hard drive. The laptop has served me well and I want to upgrade the hard drive 100 GB +, anyone has done this?

  If Yes please advise on the type of hard drive required and their availability. I have 2 GB of RAM and want to run Windows 7 on this computer.

  Hey mate,

  Of course you can upgrade the HARD drive why not? :)

  AFAIK Equium M70 already use hard drives with Serial ATA interface. This means that you must buy a 2.5 HARD drive with this interface.
  For example, a 120 GB model should work!

  In my view, it is irrelevant, what type (manufacturing) that you choose. There is no major differences, but I have good experiences with Western Digital.

• 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 ;)

• Screen broken on Satellite M70-337

  Hello

  After letting down my laptop, the screen broke, leaving me with 10% visibility.
  Can someone tell how to swith the RGB video using the keyboard so I can then display the image on a TV?
  Also, is there a way to put a blank dvd in the drive and a command to copy the contents of comps on it via the keyboard?
  The model is Satellite M70-337.

  Have tried to connect the rgb then start the machine and also by pressing FN + Ff5, no response, although it seems to work very well, out of the screen!

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  If you want to connect your laptop to the TV I recommend to use the S-video cable. When connected using the FN + F5 combination and switch to the TV only. Also, be sure that the S-video port is correctly enabled on the TV.

  Sorry, but can you tell me what is the problem with the TouchPad? Why you want to use the keyboard only? There are just screen problem?

• What type of HARD drive I can use Satellite M70-337?

  Hello
  I want to upgrade my Satellite M70-337 with a 120 GB HARD drive. I have an external USB with a Toshiba MK-1234GAX 120 GB disk drive in it, I could share with my original 40 GB hitachi drive.
  Is this compatible with the laptop HARD drive toshiba, if not, what is the specification for the necessary HARD disk?

  Thanks for any help!
  Károly

  Hello

  I think what you need is a HARD drive with the SATA interface. I think that the 40 GB of HARD drive that was installed in your laptop supports a 5400 RPM.

  To my knowledge the external USB case supports an IDE hard drives. But you know, it is possible to s that your external HARD drive supports a SATA interface. In any case, you must check it before using this laptop computer HARD drive.

  In addition, there is a problem with the size of the HARD drive. It is a 120 GB HARD drive and, possibly, the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive. I think you can use 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB hard drives but I'm not sure about the 120 GB.

  But you can test it.

• Satellite M70-337 - Possible to watch & record & playback TV?

  On the satellite M70-337 you will not find any signal in the ports for signal reception.
  This laptop supports only a s-video port to a TV connection output. You can use it to display the screen of the laptop on the TV.
  So if you want to save and receive TV signals, strings, you must use an external solution as a 3rd party TV card

• How to adjust physical memory in Satellite M70-337?

  Hello

  I'm buying a memory upgrade for my Satellite M70 - 337.

  However, I'm not sure how to adapt really.
  I unscrewed the memory Panel and watched it not really knowing what to do.

  All the tips, links to diagrams would also be very useful.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  First before you install or remove a module, turn off the computer with the closure of the option in windows. The laptop should t be in standby or hibernation, because you will lose data.
  Some modules of memory can be physically installed but are not entirely compatible with the laptop. In this case the machine will issue a warning as 3 short beeps.

  Here's a short instruction end how the modules;
  -Turn the laptop (don t forget to unplug all cables) and remove the battery.
  -Remove the two screws holding the plug cover memory modules
  -Slide your fingernail or a thin object under the lid and remove it
  -Mount the fittings of modules in connectors from computer to a 45 degree angle, and press the modules taken care to ensure a good contact.
  -Push the module down so it lies flat. Locks on each side will be lick into place to fix the modules.

  But note; to do this, carefully and don't use any force!

  Good bye
