Satellite M70 - button of Intermittent gluing

I have a Satellite M70-169 and the * button control * out of nowhere part starts to act as if it is pressed permanently, what happens at random and may persist even after you restart the laptop, it happens also during the HDD password screen * before starting windows * at all.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem or what the problem would be welcome.

Hello Christina

It is not easy to say what the problem is here, but you can try to solve this problem if you do not use the buttons at all. I recommend you remove controls from Toshiba utility to add/remove programs. I hope this will help you.

Please note that after that you do will not be able to use them by running OS. Please inquire about the results.

  • Satellite M70: Command button keys do not work

    Currently I have reformatted my M70 to WinXp Pro Sp2, downloaded all the related TOSHIBA drivers and associated programs [IE. [Button control Toshiba driver / program] and the system's normal operation. However, the CONTROL BUTTON keys don't work, worked fine with XP Home edition and Win Media but when I called Toshiba support they could not help me because I had upgraded to Xp Pro. My Question is... Is there a fix or a solution to this problem and where I can download or find this fix.

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all, you should check your serial number because on the Toshiba driver page, you will find drivers for Satellite M70 PSM70 and PSM71.
    Secondly, it is very important that you need to install drivers in the correct order.
    On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions.

    I also found a driver controls and controls on the page of the driver.
    I guess you have to install both applications. But if you follow the instructions everything works correctly.

  • Satellite M70-144 buttons of media?

    Hello fellow forum members: x
    I just installed * Windows7 * on my laptop, it's an almost 4 years * Satellite M70-144 * (PSM71E-01400LED).
    I don't know how to make my built in media player buttons. I don't see any missing hardware driver, but still nothing happen when I press them.

    It is a driver problem. I don't see any for W7 for your laptop. If those for Vista don't cut it, you probably will not going to be able to make it work.

  • 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.

  • Satellite M70 - media buttons do not work

    Hi all

    I have been using the Satellite M70 for 2 years now. My OS is XP SP2. The laptop comes with preinstalled express media player. And I still have the Express Media Player recovery CD.

    For the reasons that I just formatted the C drive. This is not the first time that I did. But the last time after reformatting drive C Media buttons are still working fine. This time beside the reformatting, I have updated BIOS (from site Web from Toshiba) to version 1.50.

    Now media buttons do not work. And not more than (browser and CD/DVD buttons) shortcut keys. I tried to reinstall the express media player by booting from the recovery CD and reinstall chose. But the problem persists.

    Are there ways to get the media buttons still work?

    Help would be very appreciated.

    P/S: in case it is because of the update of the BIOS, is there way I can flash back to its original version?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite M70-159 with BIOS V 1.3. I'll try to update BIOS to version 1.5 to see if the same happen on my M70 laptop. I did not Express Media Player, but I will test it with running Windows XP Home edition.

    So. Windows XP Home edition, I can use all the keys with Windows media player. Browser and all media buttons work well. With WinDVD too much work.

    I don't really know why this does not work on your M70. Maybe you should remove all the stuff your laptop and do a clean install EMC and operating system itself.

  • 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.

  • Black screen on boot - Toshiba Satellite M70

    Hi all

    I have Toshiba Satellite M70, I need help, and I will describe my problem:

    -A few days my screen went black all of a sudden, I don't know how do I was away from the laptop.
    -Until yesterday, when I start my laptop, it gives me the black screen all the time but when I put to sleep by closing the laptop for a few seconds and then I click the button, my screen starts showing very well until my next restart and I do it again (I usually keep my laptop running almost 18 hours) which means that there is a lot of time on my next boot)
    -But today I started too many times, it gives me the black screen and the sleep mode no longer works. But several times today when I tried to start, the display shows the Toshiba screen for only 1 second then black alley again.

    PS You can see almost threw the black screen just if there is a Sun facing the laptop.

    Thank you in advance,
    Best regards
    Mr. Mher Krikorian

    > You can see almost threw the black screen just if there is a Sun facing the laptop
    This is very useful information
    I think that the problem is related to the FL inverter
    FL-converter is a small part that controls the backlight of the display.
    If this part starts to malfunction so you would see everything as behind a thick fog

    In my view the FL inverter must be checked and replaced if necessary
    This, to get in touch with a local service technician

    Welcome & happy new year!

  • Power on issue to a Satellite M70

    Hi there all the

    I have two of these laptops on the bench with the same problem.
    When you press the power button, nothing happens, no noise of the car or fan, he's just dead. I looked around the forum and have tried holding down the BACKSPACE key while pressing the power on button, but simply nothing.

    Can someone please?

    Have fun... :))

    When you press the power button / stop is there any reaction. No power when he saw bright lights or not?

    Last week, I fixed my Satellite M70. After turning on the computer laptop, I heard just cooling fan for the little while spinning and nothing. No reaction at all. But the power light was all the TIME.

    CPU was dead. I exchanged CPU and laptop works well again.
    I can't say with certainty what is on your laptop.

  • Satellite M70 cannot stop

    I bought my Satellite M70 in February 2007. It had been nice up to a weeks ago. I can't stop normally again.
    He can't even switch to standby or Hibernate mode. It crashes with blue screen. The cursor moves on the screen but nothing else does not work once the blue screen appears.

    The only option that remains for me is to press the power button to turn off. It works normally if started again, but will not stop. I have a lot of data on it, so I don't want to use the recovery CD. Pls how to fix SAT without reformatting. Thank you

    Hello Bob

    None of us can say for sure why this happens, and you can't wait for a magic solution. What we do here, it's just to speculate why this happen. In my opinion, a background program block system and used to stop. Who knows what applications you have installed in the past few months, but I'm sure one of them is responsible for this.

    If possible, save all your data to external HARD disk or a second partition. Use the installation in expert mode and install the recovery image on the partition c. after installation of clean operating system everything works OK again.

    If you don't want to do it try to remove all the latest applications installed and make your system clean. I also recommend you use a registry cleaner application. You can find many of them on the net.

    Good bye

  • Satellite M70: Different signs on keyboard English French with OS

    My laptop is Satellite M70 with french keyboard.
    I installed Windows XP SP2 with the English language, then I had a problem with the keyboard, when I press a key I get the letter Q and when I press the W button, I get the letter Z...

    How can I solve this problem?

    This because the OS is using an English keyboard.
    Therefore, you must change the language keyboard layout settings in french.
    These settings you can find in:
    Control Panel regional and language languages tab Details settings button.

    There you can set the language of the right keyboard for your laptop.

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

    Hello
    Hope you can help. So far, I'm impressed by my toshiba satellite m70-169.

    He has recently developed an intermittent fault: when the tilt of the screen the effect of light mesh on it and the screen freezes. The mouse also hangs at this point.

    If I tilt the screen one way or the other I can get it to work properly. A slighy inclination of the screen can cause the screen to freeze again. The problem is getting worse, however.

    The machine has never been dropped or struck, but was taken by one of the screen when it is open.

    I disassembled the strainer and push gently on various points and cables but nothing in this area suggests a loose connection or a weak point. So I believe the problem is in the essence. I tried to open this up but it fails because I didn't force anything.

    Question 1: any suggestions on the problem and possible solutions?
    Question 2: advice like how to open the main part, so I can check any loose cables, connectors or broken bones?
    Question 3: patterns for disassembly?

    Even once - I hope you can help - thanks in advance...

    John

    Hi John

    The above user is right. It s too risky to disassemble the laptop without having any experience with laptops.
    It is why I always recommend taking to a technician.

    But if you want, you can have a look here:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaM55/laptop_LCD_screen_removal.htm

    It s a site on satellite M55 and withdrawal screen.
    But once again; You can do everything BUT only at your own risk! ;)

  • Satellite M70-337 random startup failures

    Hello, I hope someone can help with this problem.

    In the past months, my Satellite M70-337 (18 months) began to refuse to start. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When that happens, it will be often blue screen, reboot, and then work fine. The BSOD seems to graphics (ialmrnt5) driver-related, so I'm not too concerned about this.

    Anyway, more specifically, here's what happens:

    I'll turn on the monitor and recharge the battery and the power LED lights up. Then I press the power button and the power led lights up. But the hard drive light does NOT illuminate. The display shows lifeless, and the laptop shows no sign of life other than the three lights. It does not even show the toshiba start screen which normally invites me to press F2 or F12.

    I then turn off the laptop by pressing the power button and hold.

    I checked the event logs, and it seems that the problem coincides with the date and time being reset to January 1, 2005. So, the problem could be related to a dead CMOS battery? The strange thing is, if I leave the phone off for a week and it will restart with no problem. Yet it can begin to misbehave after be off for 6 hours only. If the CMOS battery need replacement, probably after a week without being able to time could be reset?

    And if that's the CMOS battery, why won't the laptop start not at all on a few occasions? I'm confused!

    I checked the memory of errors (with MEMTEST) and it is fine. I reinstalled the memory and changed the locations of memory, he is sitting in (while wearing an anti-static bracelet!). No change.

    Similarly, I checked the hard drive is in place. Yet once again, it was fine. I scanned using CHKDSK/r, and it turned out to be very good.

    Thus, all the advice, please!

    Thank you

    BAV

    Hello

    I do not know how to start so I will try to explain things step by step.

    Regarding the battery CMOS;
    If the battery is empty, all the parameters of the BIOS as time, data will be set to the default settings.
    But the CMOS battery empty should not has a bad influence on the start-up procedure. Usually, you should get a message to access the BIOS and restore and save the changes. Then the cell phone should start as usual.
    If the CMOS battery is empty, you can reload on the laptop for about 12 to 16 hours on the AC adapter / CC.

    However, in my opinion the start-up problems have nothing to with the CMOS battery

    Regarding the graphics driver ialmrnt5;
    I have goggled a bit and discovered that many people receive a BSOD caused by ialmrnt5.dll
    This file seems to belong to the Intel graphics driver.
    It would be desirable to delete the old driver Intel of the operating system and install version a new driver from the Intel page support.

    But to be honest I don't think that a graphic driver could cause this problem!

    I had a similar problem with my laptop 6 year old. He froze, and then it was not possible to restart the laptop. I thought it was an overheating issue. I cleaned my cooling module and assigned and new thermal grease for cooling modules and CPU, but it did not help.
    I have checked with the Memtest86 memory but found no problem.
    Then I removed ONE of the memory modules that have been installed in the laptop and have tested the BONE for an extended period.

    Since then I have not received any errors or other trouble...
    In my case it was a defective module!

    Best regards

  • Satellite M70-192: its not strong enough

    Hey!

    I have a little problem with my sound on Satellite M70 - 192 PM760, when I plug the cable jack instead of phones, and second shot (on the same cable) to the hi-fi unit the sound is not loud enough. The sound is 2 times more silent, then it should be.

    My card its Realtek AC97 Audio v. 5.5 on my previous laptop, everything was ok and the sound is loud enough, so I conclude that something that something is wrong with the software or the sound card have some limitations. I have already downloaded all the latest drivers.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    We're all ok. It is not a malfunction of the sound card or driver. I am sure that this problem occurs due to the settings in the "sound and audio devices" 99.9 percent.
    This option you will find in the control panel.
    Open sound and audio devices option and press the Advanced button.
    You will find many controllers. You should check the controllers and replace it with the higher position.
