Satellite P70-A-L1M: adapter CA / CC / grounding question

Hello.

I have the same problem with my Toshiba Satellite P70-A-L1M described [you: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=67785]

There power adapter 2 poles with 3 pins, everything is fine already cheked with other adapter from another Toshiba laptop (with the same power and voltage).

So, I wrote a letter to support the local customer Toshiba (in Russia, in fact), but they refused to change adapter (well, because it's the Russia ;)).

In addition, they refused to help in any way, or just to answer, is this normal or not (in my opinion, new cell phone buzzing for $ 1500 price IS NOT normal).

So, nobody knows, maybe there are other options to resolve this matter through any authority higher than market local support Toshiba?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

(> in my opinion, new cell phone buzzing for a $ 1500 Prize IS NOT normal).

It is completely normal and nothing unusual for each laptop with metal case that is plugged in power without grounding.

Here you can find a detailed article on the CNET page on similar small electric shocks using Apple Mac.
http://reviews.CNET.com/8301-13727_7...AC-shocked-me/

In General, this is not a technical failure of the AC adapter.
This 'shock' is the result of the flow of this alternative leakage current on the body of the user, and this causes a slight tingling.

But as mentioned, a 3 PIN adapter would be a workaround for this problem to the ground.
But this isn't a case of warranty since this isn't a hardware malfunction and the only option is to buy this adapter 3 AC alveoli.

    This is usually when there is a lot of things, like during a raid, but, nevertheless, with these specs this computer must be able to manage. Normally I get around 80-90fps and I get similar on my desktop PC (quad core, 8 GB RAM, 2 GB graphics card).

    In my opinion the slow pace could be related to the graphics chip that is used by this game. Maybe the game uses the graphics card Intel HD instead of GPU nVidia?

    This situation remains at least a month and a half and I can't update windows to version 10.

    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Thanks for your valuable help!

    It's very strange... I think it must be some kind of Windows bug... I recommend you check if all Windows updates and patches are installed.

    In addition, the unit is listed as a supported upgrade Win 10 model, so win 10 update should be possible.

    The unit is here: http://win10upgrade.toshiba.com/swup...spx?region=TEG

    Win 10 driver can be downloaded and updated from this page:

  • Satellite P70-A01D: change the drive letters after the 2nd SSD upgrade

    I think it's a generic UEFI / Win 8.1 question (not according to model).

    However, FWIW, I have a Satellite P70-A01D (bought locally here in Australia).

    It is a victory of 16 GB 17.3 inch Gen4 i7 4700MQ Intel HM86 8.0 64-bit RAM.
    http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/P70/psplpa-01d002/specifications

    I updated the OS to Win 8.1

    The P70 is supplied with a drive Bay HARD vacuum #2 - I bought a 250 GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD that I want to use as the main system disk / boot Win 8.1.

    I installed this SSD in bays #2 and from there I had no problem using the wizard of Samsun cloning software provided with the SSD (VCC 4.0) to clone my 1 TB on the SSD system.

    There are a lot of instructions from Samsun and around the web on how to clone and "substitute" of a HDD with a SSD - however there are much less when it comes to 'Add' the SSD - in the #2 Bay - while always keeping the original HDD fully functional as an additional drive.

    After execution of the cloning software, I tried just go into the settings of the UEFI on reboot and change the order of the boot drive placing the SSDS over HARD drive.

    It worked but there are obviously questions still as I had not renamed readers SSD worked as system but he was editing as D: and HARD drive was still C: and most of the system/application paths were always scheduled to access C:!

    It led to the crash and restart cycles of the Bureau (? & or explorer.exe?) and two consistent error messages:
    -"SkyDrive engine Sync host has stopped working".
    -"Host for the synchronization setting process has stopped working".

    I saw in the Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Computer Management-Online Storage-online-online right click on each drive disk management online online that I can access > however
    (a) I'm not sure if the solution I need is this simple;
    (b) nervous about change of letter on a disk while running the system; and
    (C) uncertain steps in order of evolution [IE. C: (non - sys) becomes M; D: (sys) becomes C:...

    At the moment via UEFI I'm back to working with the system on the HARD disk rather than on the SSD seems stable and without compromise of my screwing around!

    Apologies for the long post by train to make sure to include all relevant information. I think that my final goal is double win bootable 8.1 / Ubuntu 12.04 of the SSDS probably with Ubuntu on a 50 GB partition leaving 200 GB (enough?). I want to keep a slab of SSD space available for photo and video editing: +/-100 GB!

    I wondered simply assign new letters to readers, however the notes at the bottom of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter state:

    You cannot change a drive letter if the drive is a system partition or a boot partition.

    Suggestions please?

    Hello

    I think you could try to change the letter to readers as suggested in the Microsoft article.
    Where this is not possible, try to use 3rd party such as GParted software.
    http://gparted.org/LiveUSB.php

    You could try changing the drive letters might start to the top of the unit using the live USB version.
    But it might be possible that your system would not initialize correctly after this change.

    So you should not forget to mark the partition as bootable.

    Your comments would be appreciated

  • Satellite P70 - A - 07 T 040 - connection to LInksys 1900AC speed

    The specification for the P70 - A indicates a transmission speed of 300bps. Have you tried some drivers, but cannot raise the speed of 144 bps to 300bps, although an old PC on our network is automatically adjusted to 300bps when the Linksys has been implemented.

    Is there a specific Toshiba driver for this?

    > Lists of the specification for the P70 - has a transmission speed of 300bps

    You mean the wireless network and WiFi card?

    First of all various satellite P70 - A portable models support different hardware specifications. This means that the different WLan modules were built in the notebooks.

    It s I knew not which module Wlan has integrated this unit but its not very difficult to verify. You will find Wlan card details in the Device Manager.

    Second, most of the modules supports various standards Wi - Fi 802.11 B/G/N
    Each standard supports different connection speed.

    802 11 B 2.4 Ghz supports 1-11Mbit/s
    802.11 G 2.4 Ghz supports 6-54 Mbps
    802.11 N 2.4 Ghz or 5 GHz supports 72-600Mbit/s

    But beware: all these values are raw values!

    You should first check out what Wlan standard is used by the Wlan module.
    This can be checked in the Device Manager-> card Wlan-> properties-> Advanced tab.

    I guess that its already set to 802.11 N standard because you've reached 144Mbit/s
    So in this case you should also read this Wikipedia article on the 802.11 standards of N:
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11

    802.11n supports two wide channels: 20 MHz and 40 MHz.
    20 MHz supports 144.4 Mbit/s
    40 MHz supports 300 Mbps

  • Need help to connect a HDMI TV to my Satellite P70-A01C

    Can someone help me with the connection to a HDMI TV to an Australian TOSHIBA SATELLITE P70-A01C PSPLPA-01C002 running under 64-bit Windows 8?

    I'm on vacation in Thailand and tried to connect my new laptop to a TV using the HDMI, so the kids can watch their films, but the laptop refuses to recognize TV as an external monitor.

    I can't see anything in the windows which relates to a HDMI connection.
    I tried to detect the TV as a monitor in the Panel and had no luck.
    Outside the Mobile PC screen which is the screen of the laptop I have NVIDIA GeForce GT M 745 and Intel(r) HD Graphics 4600 as outputs available display, but none of these will detect the TV.

    I'm looking in the right place to connect the HDMI TV?
    The TV is a TV color LCD of Toshiba model 32PB2T for the Thailand.

    I don't know if this is important if the laptop is Australian and the TV is the Thailand, but my old Toshiba laptop running Vista that had no problem detection Australian TVs HDMI. This laptop doesn't seem to like it or Windows 8 t - it another way.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Firstly, it must connect the two machines (laptop and TV) with an HDMI cable.
    Then turn on the TV and the laptop.
    In the settings of the TV, select the HDMI input port where is connected the laptop.

    Now, you can use the function key F4 (or Fn + F4) to move to the external video output, which in your case should be the TV device.

  • Satellite P70-A-104 - no available in Windows virtualization technology

    Hello
    My problem is that Intel virtualization technology is not enabled on my Toshiba Satellite P70-A-104. I have selected in Bios options: Virtualization VT - X only, but in windows 8 x 64 Technology intel fact processor detection utility appear that any virtualization technology are available.

    On this page http://ark.intel.com/de/products/75117 says that my processor (Intel® Core i7-4700MQ) supports Intel Virtualization Technology (VT - x).

    But why is it not available / supported in windows?

    Hello

    > But in Windows 8, the Intel processor detection utility detect no technology virtualization on my computer.

    The VT - x is supported by CPU and it s enabled in the BIOS. So everything should be clear here.

    You wonder why utility detection Intel CPU does not see the VT?
    I put t know.

    Is this CPU supported only * VT - x * but can't stand not * VT - d *.
    The Intel HM86 chipset supports both: VT and VT - d

    To be able to use the VT, support CPU, chipset and BIOS is necessary, and this support seems to come from the parts mentioned.

    Maybe the Intel CPU detection utility provides information about the VT - d

  • Adding a new SSD on Satellite P70-A-107

    Hello

    Recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P70-107-A. It has a 1 t HARD drive and another empty location where I can put another SSD or HARD disk.

    I already have orderedt an SSD (840 pro) and I think puts it in slot 1 with the system and put the 1 t HARD drive in slot 2. I created a usb media recovery with Recovery Media Creator Toshiva with the recovery of the computer image.

    My question is: can I just put the SSD in slot 1 and to boot via USB and make recovery directly on the SSD? The bios will recognize the SSD?

    I need to install any drivers for bios recognize the SSD?
    Also heard that it was necessary to activate the AHCI, but I don't see this option in the bios.

    Thank you.

    If you have the original recovery media, I think that everything should be OK.
    Only put the SSD and then install original recovery image. When it's all over and the operating system is installed properly, you can add second drive.

    When you put the new SSDS go to parameters of the BIOS, check if the SSD is recognized correctly, the value of the BIOS default settings and continue with the installation of the OS (original recovery image).
    Please post comments.

  • Tecra M5: External monitor flickers - grounded question?

    Hello

    I just bought a new Acer Full HD LCD Monitor (P244W) and have tried to connect on my Tecra M5 VGA port.
    It works, but there is a noticeable and more annoying flicker. I tried with XP (SP3) and now Vista (SP1) and it happens for both. I have the latest BIOS and NVidia drivers. The actual laptop LCD screen still works fine, it's just the external screen that flickers.

    To make sure that there is nothing wrong with the monitor, I plugged the ATI video card VGA port on my desktop pc and it displays fine without flickering.

    After completing the web for people with similar problems, I narrowed down it to her being caused by my power adapter with a grounding problem as the flicker disappears as soon as I unplug the AC adapter and just run the battery. It seems the solutons common to this problem are:

    (1) try some different VGA cables with better shielding against interference.
    I tried this and it made no difference. I tried cables with or without the magnet ferrite/Starter thing at both ends of the cable and the flicker remained.

    (2) try the different screen resolutions and refresh rate.
    Tried to adjust some lower resolutions, but the twinkle remained (not to mention that I prefer to keep the native resolution of 1920 x 1080 for my monitor). The NVidia driver allows only 60 Hz refresh rate at 1920 x 1080, so I couldn't change that.

    (3) make sure that the computer laptop AC adapter / CC and the monitor are connected to the same wall jack and are on the same power expansion card.
    Tried, but it does not solve.

    (4) run an extension cord to another circuit of power supply in my house and to the AC adapter and the monitor of this to see if its something wrong with the wall socket using im.
    I tried connecting to a wall in my laundry, but does not resolve it.

    (5) try using a different power expansion card and nothing else is connected on the power adapter and the monitor.
    Tried, but it does not solve.

    (6) get a pin 3 to 2-prong adapter, so the power adapter is connected to the Earth is no longer.
    Most of the people on the web seem to say this corrects the problem, but I don't know how it is safe to leave this way long term. Especially, when stories of mobile phones capture the fire are multiplying.

    (7) get an adapter to generic brand as they sometimes solve the problem better than the Toshiba power adapter grounding.
    Yet once again, I would avoid this option rather than even the most generic brands cost dear.

    (8) remove the battery and run its own from the AC adapter.
    Tried, but it does not solve.

    9) play with the settings of monitors.
    Tried, but none of the settings fixed it.

    So, what are my options?
    Is there a known cause and the solution to this problem?
    If my laptop is still under warranty, can I get a replacement AC adapter / CC or something to work around this problem?

    Thank you

    But the light still.

    Is there a way to solve it?

    > In Windows 8, it worked as it should.

    > All drivers are up to date.

    You said that the drivers are up to date. This means that you have installed and updated every driver and Toshiba utility as mentioned in the instructions for installation of Win 8.1?
    These installation instructions are on the EU Toshiba driver one page it shows you the order of installation of driver/tools.

    In addition, you should check if the BT and WiFi has been disabled properly.
    Why? Because this indicator lights up red as if BT or Wlan is enabled.

    Without doubt, BT or Wlan is switched on and then the light turns red.
