• Satellite C650 loses power

  My Satellite C650 loses power, there is a loud click speakers, and then the screen goes black. Sometimes, the computer can be restarted, the screen, when it restarts, indicates that the computer has been shut down incorrectly and there are several options for recovery - mode of diagnosis, etc..

  It sometimes reboots then crash even less a minute sometimes she'll go longer but if I wait for an hour or so it will usually restart ok. It started during the summer and I thought that it was getting hot, but he started again recently (winter).

  Can anyone help?

  > My Satellite C650 loses power, there is a loud click speakers, and then the screen goes black.
  Do you say notebook computer is turned off or simply, the screen stays black?
  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. You must perform some basic tests.
  For example, start computer laptop, enter the BIOS settings and let him for a period of time see if the laptop turns off only.
  Also try to boot OS in safe mode to see if the same thing will happen again.

  Alternatively, you can try to back up all your important data and reinstall OS using the recovery image just to see if the same problem persists with the factory settings.

• Satellite M70-148 - power on problem after hibernation

  Hello:
  Sometimes, I have a problem I can not turn on after hibernation. The fan starts, but the computer does not start again. I can only turn off again by pressing the button for a few seconds. When I remove my power cord and press the power button, I am able to start up. I can solve this?

  I've been on the internet looking for a solution and found this description of the problem, which is exactly what I have, but unfortunately there is no solution.

  "
  I'll explain the problem in detail, right after hibernation or standby IF you press power button / stop it goes blue led fan starts, HD led lights, led battery, power adapter led (if its connected) and a cd player make it sound as if he looking for a CD, and THEN stopped fan HD led turns off, no sound from CD, leaves u with button only works / stop led on, a pretty frustrating blue

  After waiting, u eventually gave up, turn it off by prolonged pressure on the button / stop and then no matter wut u do, simply starts only even the sounds and the leds as mentioned above, nothing on the screen as if its dead! No logo, no nothing.

  Give him a time (about 15 min with battery connected, or 5 minutes or less with the battery) press the button, IT U - GO, works perfectly!

  same case with the judgment but not always as put into hibernation and sleep (but once made wake-up from standby mode!), but most of the time after the judgment, you have to wait 15 min!

  No memory connected USB flash or something else!

  I have installed winXP pro SP2 above and installed the drivers and the Microsoft HOT fixes too, but the problem remains.

  I also made recovery from the CD of restoration which follows, also not good!

  I noticed that if you disconnected the battery the appliance needs less time to wake or boot. about 5 min.

  what kills me, is that the device works perfectly and I love it! I've had this problem with her!

  So what I need to know is the following: is there anyway to weather course if it's a hardware or software problem?

  its not easy to go to service local cuz its in another city! I need to try first what it takes to fix it on my own!
  "

  Thank you for your time!

  Well, there's not much to do. You have some many possibilities. Check your installed BIOS version and compare it with the version on the Toshiba site.
  If there is a newer version so you can try to update the BIOS. But please be careful.

• When the capacity of the battery falls Satellite Pro U300 occasionally lose power

  Hello

  I suspect you have a defective battery (standard installed on the laptop) on my new Satellite Pro U300 - 11 k and I wonder if someone had a similar problem.
  When the power drops to 10%, my laptop occasionally loses power. In the range of less than 7% capacity always loses power, i.e. either fails to start the hibernation, or is unable to complete the process (I can always tell if power was lost during hibernation because of the characteristic of the system of protection HD sound). I did several tests, especially in the power saving mode. "High performance" mode power seems to be a little more reliable, but still fails to shut down less than 5% of the capacity. The level of Hibernate by default on the Toshiba Windows Vista pack is as low as 2%, so I can wait until it is able to work at this level.

  Overall the battery capacity is about 1 h (Media Player, fashion high performance, maximum intensity) at all about 2 to 2.5 hours (slowed or text editor, mode, brightness low power saving). Charging time is about 1 hour (seems too short). They are difficult to objectively assess that Toshiba avoids quoting the specifications of the battery, but I consider the question of the reliability of the above as being a serious (do not want to take the risk of damaging the HD). I am considering visiting the service center, but leaving both the computer and the battery with them would be a nuisance for me and I would rather avoid it if I can. I wonder if I can claim the warranty on the battery alone?

  Any suggestions would be welcome.

  Background information:
  -The U300 is a few weeks old.
  -The battery has been fully charged and discharged (approximately 15 times since purchase).
  -Cooldown takes 1 h - 1.5hrs
  -J' using Vista Business
  -J' went through the power settings to make sure they are ok and to change threshold levels
  -I am an experienced business user, I use a laptop computer at work which stops always perfectly to the power level of 3%

  Thanks for help

  Reading your post, I do see no battery issues! Everything you say is right and not a malfunction.
  Please note that the Vista operating system needs much more computing resources and the battery is much more emphasized running Vista!

  Please also note that the level and time to discharge the battery can be different! Everything depands of the use of the laptop!
  All the portable devices and parts waste the power of the battery at the same time and that's why there are differences in the discharge procedure.

  Don t be afraid and take advantage of your laptop but if you think you will need to contact the ASP in order to clarify this issue, then feel free to contact service technician.
  They should be able to help you.

• 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?

• 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 M70-337 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

• 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.

• What USB port output power offers Satellite M70-159

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite M70-159 and I am looking to buy a 2.5 external HARD drive ".
  I would like to know if the power supplied by the USB port of my laptop is 500mA or 1000mA because the disc external HARD I want to buy needs 1000mA to work.

  Eitherwise what I can do to provide external power to work HARD disk?

  Thank you

  Hello

  To my knowledge the notebooks USB ports provides the standard power of 500 my.
  Generally if an external USB HDD what needs more than 500mA so special, the power cable external power is supplied with version 2.5, HARD drive or HARD drive comes with a double USB cable.
  I hear double cable USB cable that supports 2 USB Sockets. In this case, you can connect the HARD drive to two USB ports.

• How to replace battery for RTC for Satellite M70-122?

  I have a portable Satellite M70-122 and it sews there is a problem with the battery RTC (BIOS) that he loses all the settings. I took it for the Department of service here in Thessaloniki in Greece and they told me the battery is stuck to the main Board and I have to buy a new laptop instead.

  Does anyone has an idea on how to change the battery of the CCF (BIOS)?

  Hello

  In many cases (also for the M70 Sat) battery RTC is soldered on the motherboard. In this case it cannot be replaced

  The RTC battery provides the power to keep the current date, time and other configuration information in memory, while the computer is turned off. The RTC battery is charged by the adapter or the main battery while the computer is on.
  So theoretically if the RTC battery is empty, you could load it again to connect the AC adapter and execution of the laptop for about 24 hours.

• 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.

• Very rapid battery discharge on Satellite M70

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M70 with a battery that discharges completely empty in 20 minutes.
  Y at - it a program to clean the battery since its 'memory' I know that these things exist for normal batterys, but it is also possible for laptop batterys?

  Thanks wendy

  Don t which would serve
  The M70 isn't a new series of laptop and I assume that your battery has been working for some time.
  So it s not uncommon that your battery loses the own performance after a long period of use.
  To my knowledge the after about 500 times of grief and discharge the battery begins to lose clean performance.

  My battery is 6 year old and I can only use it for 2 minutes. Then it s empty.
  I know, the replacement would be necessary but my laptop is always connected to the main power supply and so I do not need a new battery.

  Cut this story here is my final statement; a battery replacement will solve your problem ;)

• 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.

• 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
