  Hello

  You can start Notepad in safe mode?
  Switch on the device and press F8, and then select Safe mode.

  Also if you are not able to start Windows, I would recommend trying to boot from the recovery disk if this is not possible, then a part of the material may be module memory may be affected is defective or HARD drive?

  HARD drive can be verified using a tool like Drive Fitness Test. It s worth a try

• Satellite M70 - black screen on startup

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my Satellite M70-309, so for two times after logo Toshiba, Windows Xp (home sp2) does not start.
  The result is a WHITE & BLACK SCREEN.
  So I turned off manually appeared then black screen where I can choose if starting normally, last good configuration etc...

  Is a hardware problem? Because my cpu died last month I changed it.

  Thank you!

  Hi, RSC

  It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but I assume that there is something wrong with the HARD drive. It will be interesting what happens with the new HARD drive.

  If possible also start the recovery procedure to see if the HARD drive will be recognized correctly and if the recovery procedure starts correctly. Check it using the installation in expert mode where you have access to information from HARD drive (partitions and so on).

  Hello!

  You can start in safe mode?

  I tried a bit with Google and I founded out that the problem could be due to perhaps the HARD drive. In your case I would test with Drive Fitness Test:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

• 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

  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!

• Show the lines colored on Satellite M70

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M70 with NVidia Go6600 256RAM.

  One day, I opened my laptop and I have all my screen with colored lines even at the beginning to the BIOS screen. I have these colored throughout my screen lines.

  Help, please.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  your machine has a hardwaremalfunction definitely any. Now the question of it s if it s a defect on the motherboard or LCD screen.

  The only thing you can do is to contact a partner of service allowed in your country and ask them for help, perhaps, for a checkup of material.
  Is your machine still in warranty?

  To find the closest on in your country, you should visit the following link:

• 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.

• 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.

• Blue Screen of Death and no XP CD - Satellite M70

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M70 that displays the blue screen of death at startup. It reads an error 0x000000ED reporting an error unmountable as the specific problem.

  Unfortunately, I have no CD of Windows XP to restore my computer. I have the Toshiba product recovery CD, but that seems like it will just format my computer, and I have important data, I want to absolutely not delete from my hard drive.

  I can't start in safe mode; Blue screen of death appears immediately at startup. If I try to pass int F8, advanced options, but after you have selected the system restore, it goes back to BSOD. I also tried to burn an ISO to the recovery file and the computer entered the Windows installation, but hangs on "Setup starts Windows.

  Any idea what the problem might be? And how can I solve this problem without deleting any info on my computer?

  THX.

  Hello

  The HARD drive can be removed very easily. It s placed at the bottom of the unit and you have to delete only one screw to remove the plastic cover that holds the HARD drive Bay.

  I think it's a better solution than you could connect to another computer via the external USB HDD controller.

  If you want to use a Toshiba Recovery CD then you must choose the advanced option which would allows you to choose the partition where the operating system would be installed.
  And this partition will be formatted

  So in this case you would also lose some files from the HARD drive

  I'm not sure about BartPE just google for more details

• Satellite M70 - 181 - slider and escape key does not

  FN with F10 keys shows no reaction.
  Check all the drivers.
  But cursor and escape keys does not.
  Need help please

  Joe

  As far as I know, FN + F10 or FN + F11 active integrated keyboard and cursor control keys.

  Satellite M70 is a fairly old machine and I do not remember which driver may be responsible for this control. Try to reinstall the Toshiba Accessibility or FN-esse utility. Maybe this will help.

  I had M70 long ago, but I've never used this option.

• Satellite Pro M70-275 slower than the Satellite M70-110?

  Hello

  A couple of weeks ago, I bought a portable Satellite M70-110, with Centrino 1.7 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM. Last week, this computer got stolen from my apartment. (Damn them thieves low-life..)
  I wanted to buy exactly the same model again, but he could not find anywhere. Instead, I bought a Satellite Pro M70-275 because he seems to be pretty much the same thing, with a great 2 GHz. processor, it's going to be a little faster then, I thought.
  The problem is that it feels like the new is slower; I don't understand why. No more slow, as when you are working with graphics heavy, cause I don't have, but slower at startup, when this regime between programs and so on.

  The old used XP Home Edition, the new one XP Pro. This could be the problem; XP Pro requires more RAM?

  The old man had an ATI Radeon x 700, the new a x600se, but I can't imagine that this could make a difference with the applications that I am running.
  I use a Soundblaster PCIMCA card in the new. This could be a problem?

  Any ideas appreciated!

  Hello

  As much as I know there is not much difference between WXP Home and Pro, and I think that the use of the PCMCIA card. Try to turn off the sound in the BIOS and also disable it in Device Manager.

• Satellite M70-151 - not possible to install new HDD

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Satellite M70-151. bunch of old hard drive (100 GB Hitachi) reached the Windows XP screen then just ends with a blue screen a turn off laptop, immediately. I had to restore my data with an application file-rescue of another PC. It was not possible to start from old hard drive yet.

  Then I bought a Western Digital SATA II 250 GB hard drive that put my Windows XP CD in DVD player installed and tried to start. The laptop turns off as soon as the laptop computer tried to access the HARD disk.
  Thought, it was question of SATA II disk and tried a Samsung 160 GB Sata I - same result.

  BIOS recognizes the correct drives.

  If I try to boot from old hard drive, it shows the issue I mentioned first, but as before it reaches the Windows XP Boot screen before moving on to the blue screen before turning off the laptop. So start goes further than the boot with new hard drives

  The Windows XP CD I used is not the restore CD that came with the laptop, but a normal license.

  The heat is not a problem, I cleaned the CPU fan there is enough space to breathe the cold air mobile, the temperature is ok.

  * My questions are: *.

  Is there any special application running on laptops satellite, like special software of Toshiba, perhaps Backup, should I be aware of?
  What I need to preformat the hard drive, Toshiba-Hardware will recognize the hard drive?

  It would be great to get help on this issue, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

  André

  Hello Andrew

  This behavior is very strange. I have some old Satellite M70-159 with 100 GB HARD drive. I also tested how it will work with a 250 GB HARD drive and all is well.
  On two drives, I have installed WXP using the Toshiba recovery image.

  I answer your two questions No. to install Windows XP Home edition on this model of laptop you don't need some special Toshiba application or a piece of software.
  HDD should be recognized correctly by the BIOS and the Windows XP Home edition installation procedure should work well.
  What you can try is to set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

  The strange thing for me is that judgment. The blue screen tells me that there may be some serious hardware problem, the HARD drive controller might be. It's really not easy to say with certainty what can be the problem.

• 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.
  My old laptop and other portable that I had before, has the ability to control things like the brightness of the screen when you connect to load automatically. So not for this one. Nothing happens.

  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.

  welcome them

  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.

• Satellite M70-339 vertical lines on the screen

  Hello...

  I have a Satellite M70-339, which will show only the vertical lines on the screen.
  I connected an external monitor and booted in safe mode.
  I uninstalled the display drivers.
  I started to monitor and reinstalled the display drivers.
  The computer will now boot up screen.

  I put the display to indicate to both monitor and screen.

  On the monitor, all right.
  On the screen, I get vertical lines color, similar to a wallpaper (wallpaper is not pretty).

  Did anyone has got any ideas what could be the problem, or how to diagnose the problem
  Any help would be appreciated.

  John C

  If everything is OK on the external monitor that is the best evidence that this problem is related to the internal LCD. Display must be exchanged.

• 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!
