  Hello

  installed new programs or something else (updated drivers, windows updates)? A program is perhaps the origin of the problem.

  Otherwise I'd suggest the following:

  Go to this site-> www.ubcd4win.com<-, download="" the="" image,="" burn="" it="" to="" a="" cd="" and="" start="" it.="" after="" booting="" the="" system,="" open="" a="" notepad="" or="" word-program="" and="" try="" if="" the="" keys="" are="">

  If the keys work, then restore your system and check if they still work. After installing updates or software, make sure that keys work immediately after the installation/update something in your system. With this method you can find which application probably prevents your keyboard work correctly.

  If the won´t same keys work with the system of UBCD4Win then bring your machine to a local authorized service for a hardwarecheckup partner.

• Satellite M70 - 159 OpenGL problems

  I have a laptop with ATI MOBILITY X 700/256 MB and WinXP SP2 M70-159. The system stops responding when I run OpenGL applications with a large number of meshes limit (more than 12800 triangles) stored in a display list and I have to hard - reboot. The same apps will work perfectly in all my PC (with nvidia cards).
  Any help is very appreciated!

• Can I replace the video card Intel (r) 915GM/GMS in Satellite M70?

  Hello!

  I have a TOSHIBA Satellite M70, with video card Intel (r) 915GM/GMS (256 MB) that is not working properly (it might be made of the mechanical shock or high temperature, do not know, but I'm sure it's something on the hardware). I reinstalled my OS (and then replaced by another), updated my drivers but nothing changes. Then appears a BSOD evoking the video driver files I try to restart it many times because the screen guard shutted down (in black). Now, the video card is disabled, and it works normally. I want to just replace it if it is possiblle. I said * TOSHIBA Satellite M70, Intel (r) 915GM / GMS *.

  Thanks for your answers in advance, and sorry for the mistakes (I'm not English)!

• Satellite M70 runs for several seconds and then hangs

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M70. My problem started several weeks ago with the laptop freezing. Then it blue screened a couple of times. Now when I start it, it runs for a few seconds and then hangs.

  I can't do anything because the screen is blank but the LED still show as if it was on. If I leave the phone for a day or two, and then I can start it again and the same thing happens, but if I try to start immeadiately, the screen remains blank.

  Any help would be appreciated, I had company look and they said that the LCD screen was tired, but it is not if it lights.
  Also, I tried to plug in an external monitor and it's the same thing. PLS help

  Hello

  Here in the forum we can only speculate what may be the problem. I don't think anyone can say for sure why this happens. I got BSOD a few times but always after installing some shareware applications. In my case it was clearly software related issue.

  It is not easy to say why this is happening to you. You can enter the BIOS settings? Try to start your computer laptop in safe mode, just to see if it works.

• Intel 2200BG always disconnect when the value g on a Satellite M70

  Hello

  After months of go around forums and messages, I still have the same problems with my card Intel 2200BG wireless.
  Of course, I've updated my bios, drivers,... but the problem remains.

  I called toshiba france and they were just as good to send me a link to the latest drivers...
  I have no problem with mode b and use channel 11.
  I think I'll just throw this card and buy another brand.

  Any suggestion?
  Thanks for the help

  Hello

  Don't always blame your WLan card in Notepad.
  Wireless performance depends on the wireless card, but also on the WLan router!

  You define the G standard only on the router or wireless network card?
  In the WLan card properties, you should be able to put the B, G or two B/G.
  Also turn off the power save option on this map.

  Maybe you checked only the Toshiba driver for the latest Intel WLan driver page. Download the latest driver on the Intel site!
  You use the Intel ProSet utility?

• Satellite P10: How to enable the WiFi of Intel 2200BG card

  Hello

  I have a psp10e Satellite that I recently installed a WiFi of Intel 2200BG card. After having problems to light up I put the Ribbon on the PIN 13 on the map to turn on the radio.

  I have installed all the latest drivers / BIOS updates and spend hours searching the Internet I am still yet to find a cure for the hardware switch/fn + f8 and the WiFi led to work.

  Is there something that everybody has understood to make the switch/led work material? There must be a better remedy than a piece of duct tape! It is the BIOS that has nothing to do with the hardware switch?

  Hello

  You isolated the correct pin code? With the 13 PIN is pin 7 when you look at the map. And unfortunately there is no biosupdate for these machines, because everything is 'wired', then you will need to follow the alternative route...

  Sorry man

• 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.

• Satellite A30: Compatibility Intel 2200BG miniPCI WLAN

  I installed an Intel 2200BG (Toshiba part No.G86C0000X310) Wifi card in my Satellite A30. I tried to load a number of different versions of Intel drivers, but whenever I activate the driver of that laptop computer crashes. I've seen other messages indicating that they got this card works by pin 11 and 13 with masking tape, I tried this.

  Has anyone else seen and solved my problem?

  Hi Andy

  Before that you purchased this card did you check compatibility with your model of laptop with the cards?

  By the way: all laptops A30 aren't ready WLAN. For example, A30 - 514 is WLAN ready and compatible Wireless LAN card is PA3212U-1MPC. Check it!

• Satellite M70-165 PSM70E - battery charging problem

  Hello
  My laptop is a Satellite M70-165 PSM70E. I use Windows XP Home Edition. I recently bought a new battery and it is impossible to charge more than 50%. I have updated the BIOS to 1.70 (for non Windows Vista users) and I still have the problems mentioned above. I tried to dischage completely and charge it again, several times, with no luck.

  Is there a solution?

  Another question. There is no 'EC' in the BIOS version, only "BIOS version 1.70". I hope there will be some calibration of the battery or the power management after the BIOS update, but there is no menu "Power Management" in the BIOS.

  Is this correct?

  Thanks in advance.

  > recently bought a new battery and it is impossible to charge more than 50%

  In my opinion the new battery is not OK.
  You must consult an another new battery maybe you bought a battery already used?

  > Another question. There is no 'EC' in the BIOS version, only "BIOS version 1.70".
  On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find a BIOS update.
  I guess that this update contains the EC update too.

• Satellite M70-239 - problems with brightness adjustment

  Hello

  I ve got this laptop from my father after I buyed a new. Actually everything´s with him very well. But one thing is a little strange, I think.

  Windows doesn´t also shows the remaining battery life expectancy and other things like that. These functions are not supported by this guy? I ve installed the latest bios version 1.70, which is available on the official website and I m using Windows XP.

  Someone at - it the same problem and is there a solution for this? Maybe you can help me.

  Hello

  Satellite M70 was delivered with Windows XP edition family, and Windows XP Home typical configuration. I imagine that you have installed all Toshiba tools and utilities, so it must there also have preinstalled Toshiba Power saver.

  He yiou can see profiles of different powers and each of them can be configured separately. Thus, when the laptop is connected to power notebook AC power will be the mode full power. There you can set LCD brightness to the maximum level.
  When the laptop is on battery will then serve others power plan. Compare the settings in two power modes and choose your preferred settings.

  Brightness level can also be changed with the key FN + F6/F7 combination.
  Of course, this will works if all Toshiba tools and utilities are preinstalled.

• Internet LAN conection problem when power is connected - Satellite M70

  Hello

  I recenetly bought a satellite M70 - 360. For some reason, internet connection (LAN) only works when the computer is running from the battery to the moment where you plug in the AC adapter, it is cut (you can also hear that there is some type of distortion on the line when the power is on)-its impossible to conect to the net, even if you already have AC. Have searched all previous messages and found that another person has reported the same issue, but no one answered at his post... ideas?

  Would be very grateful for any advice.
  Mark

  Hello

  Very strange. Have you checked the State of LAN card in Device Manager if the captain was connected? A yellow exclamation point appears in the net
  Section of the cards to work?
  In the properties of LAN card, you will find an Advanced tab. There you can activate and deactivate some additional options. I think you should check the options and possibly allow it.

  You said that the internet connection does not work when the power adapter is connected. But what about connecting to the local computer network?

• 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!
