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

    The problem could be the driver lens calibration.
    Before the player will read or write to the media of the lens must be calibrated in the right position, but if the drive has been used long-term these problems appear

    Sometimes the lens cleaning helps, but especially the disk needs to be replaced

  • Satellite M70: Cannot install Symantec's Norton Antivirus successfully

    I have a Toshiba satellite M70-PSM73-SR2 laptop.
    I recently managed to move from Xp Home Xp pro Ed. Since then, I'm trying to re - install my Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2003 but I get the following message is displayed:
    "The wizzard was interrupted until the Symantec Antivirus client could be completely installed. Your system has not changed. To complete installation at another time, please run the Setup again. »

    It's been two days now that I run the installation program again, I get the same message.
    Can anyone help?

    All I can add is that the laptop came with a norton antivirus 2005 valid for 3 months. After 3 months, under Xp home Ed, I have successfully installed my Norton 2003. Now, after having changed the OS to Xp pro, I am unable to complete the installation of Norton 2003.

  • Satellite M70 - cannot install recovery disc

    Hello

    I had to remove the drive HARD Toshiba Satellite M70 for use on my Compaq laptop (Compaq HDD crashed). I had to install XP and other stuff after you have 2 left and used with a Compaq laptop with no problems. Now, I had a new HARD drive for compaq and fixed the Toshiba HDD back in.

    Using the recovery CD I wanted to restore the Toshiba to its original state.

    I have the recovery DVD-ROM product. F12 abd selection cd/dvd would not recovery.
    Error loading operating system is the message I get.

    I can even install with my other XP pro original cd.

    Once I put the HARD return drive to Compaq its job very well, I can even install XP.

    What is the cause. Is that it has nothing to do with the MBR?
    I am very familiar with computers so please give me a way out of this!

    Thank you all,.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    In my opinion, the case is clear. If you install the laptop with a normal installation of Microsoft disk and the HARD disk works fine in another computer it something wrong with the Toshiba Recovery disk, maybe it s scratched.

    What you can do is to install the laptop using the disc of Microsoft. Then download and install all the drivers from the Toshiba site.

    Alternative order you a new drive for recovery of an authorized service provider.

    It of your choice what you do. ;)

  • Satellite M70 - recently stopped burning CD player

    Hello

    I have a satellite with a CARPET m70 * a dvd/cd burner. Recently it stopped burning CDs. Strangely, she still burns dvd's without any problems. Depending on the software of engraving, he said:
    Nero: "illegal block size.
    Just sonis gives a read error and tells me to clean the cd.

    This happens at the time where the real fire begins. I can hear the CARPET * a switch, then it gives this error.

    I tried the simple solutions like reboot and change the brand of cd. I have also reinstalled the software and different programs to burn (including windows explorer). None of this has changed anything.

    Any ideas on what could be the problem and how to fix it?

    Thank you
    Mark

    Hello

    It seems that the reader cannot calibrate the lens in the right position.
    If something like that happens, only the replacement of the drive is useful. Nothing else ;(

    But a question: have you tried to clean the lens? You can try this. Maybe it s you last chance

  • Satellite M70 stops suddenly: fan?

    Hey,.
    As of today, my Satellite M70 suddenly stops while I work.
    I checked the forum here, and I guess it is a heating problem.
    When I looked at the opening of the fan, I saw that the coating was broken...
    And the fan itself does not seem to work either...
    It must have been some kind of accident.
    The regular warranty covers these things?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I think you are right and the machine is overheating.
    To get this repaired your only chance is a Toshiba service partner.

    Unfortunately, this kind of damage must be the result of some kind of hit on the laptop.
    And normally it is not covered by the warranty.

  • 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.

  • Matsu * a DVD UJ - 841S cannot burn properly - Satellite M70

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite M70.
    The Dvd burner does not work. When I burn a CD for example, after a few minutes, the burn process stops with the error message. I have no problem with reading DVD and CD.

    I think that the problem is due to the old drivers (2001) or the firmware.
    I'm trying to install the new driver from the download area of Toshiba but I do not solve the problem.

    It is possible to find new Matsu firmware * a DVD UJ - 841S?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I m sure this isn't a problem of an old firmware because I assume that your burned CD/DVD reader drives correctly in the past.
    In addition, the European driver Toshiba page would provide a new firmware if the old firmware would be defective.

    I think there are two possibilities; you have not used fully compatible CD or your CD/DVD drive starts to malfunction.
    It would not be anything unusual because the s drive laser lens loses the own performance during the long period of use
    However, you should test a few other drives from different manufacturers.
    I had a good experience with discs CD - R TDKs
    Maybe you should try it.

  • 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.

  • Touch and the launch cannot be installed on the Satellite M70 - 192

    (Sorry for the bad English)
    I had uninstalled Touch and launch program because it did not work properly. When I tried to install another time readings that it can be installed only on Toshiba computer.

    How to fix that?

    Hello

    It will be interesting to know what version you are trying to install. Perhaps, you try to install the version for another model of Satellite. As far as I know there are two models of Satellite M70. The difference is the number of sub.model (PSM70E and PSM71E). Make sure you use the right side of a PSM71E.
