• Satellite Pro M70: What USB 2.0 Port Replicator is compatible?

  Would be grateful if someone could advise me on the purchase of a USB 2.0 port replicator.

  I think the 3 USB 2.0 ports on my laptop Pro M70 are not enough, and that's why I want to buy a USB 2.0 Port Replicator.

  The site of the Toshiba shop specifies USB 2.0 Port Replicator II (UK) with port network, part number: PX1173U-1PRP, price: 49,93 GBP.

  It has 4 USB ports 2.0, which would give me a total of 6 USB 2.0 ports, which would be the absolute minimum I want. (It also has 2 PS/2 ports, 1 serial port RS232 and 1 USB 2.0 port network that takes in charge rates of 10 / 100 Mbps).

  Can anyone tell if it is powered by the laptop, or by it's own adapter?

  Unfortunately, the Web of Toshiba site has advised that it is currently out of stock and are difficult to get in on all the time, as they are the subject of a sort of "green manufacturing" test.

  This prompted me to consider buying a replicator USB 2.0 ports alternative and all I would prefer one with more than 4 USB 2.0 ports, and in fact 6 or more USB 2.0 ports would be preferable. I'm not really interested in other types of ports that are often provided with the replicators of USB 2.0 ports.

  I would be grateful if someone could recommend/Advisor at a replicator USB 2.0 ports alternative that would be compatible with my laptop Pro M70.

  One of my concerns is how the port replicator USB 2.0 Port is powered. I think I would have preferred that the unit is powered by its own adapter, I understand is 5 Volts with 500 milliamps for each port, rather than to the laptop (probably would be less tax on the laptop, with less heating).

  Thank you

  I can't comment on the question whether the Replicator you mention has its own power source, although I suspect, he does

  However, I have a satellite Pro M70 too and with a similar problem and wanting a hub to connect to all my external printers, Sandy etc using just one connection, I buy PA3390E-1MPM - a hub of Toshiba, Audio/USB multimedia center, which goes a step further and provides a hub not only for USB sources , but also for the speakers etc.

  It has its own power supply to the unit and connects via USB 2.0 to my laptop. It is also stackable with the Toshiba Gigastore 250 GB USB 2.0 external hard drive (PA3392E-1MPS) which I also use for backups, storing external data etc.

  Had the two units for 3 months now and everything works fine. I got headr of some problems with people in loss of access to the hard drive, but it seems that it was never if it has been disconnected by pulling the cord out usb, rather than make a ' Safely Remove Hardware to disconnect the USB device and so far have had no probs at all

  It has 4 ports, more port network and connections from the speakers for the configurations 2/2.1/4/4.1/5.1 full, more Creative software like drivers, more remote control useful to control audio devices. Oh, and also a Surround sound, and EAX

  Maybe a little more of your option, but worth it in my opinion. If you can't find it on the Toshiba site I have purchased from www.insight.com

  Hope that helps

• External USB floppy drive for Satellite Pro M70

  I just bought a Satellite Pro M70 Centrino Mobile 750 to replace my Satellite 5105 - S702, which exposes the same type of problems of corruption/crash video display described elsewhere in these forums.

  I need an external floppy drive, and the site of the Toshiba shop specifies an external USB Floppy Drive Ref. PA3109E-3FDD.

  However, I have an external drive USB Floppy, Réf. PA3109U-1FDD, I bought for the satellite 5105-S702 about 4 years ago.

  5105-S702 has USB 1.1 ports and satellite Pro M70 has USB2 ports.

  Issues related to the:

  PA3109U-1FDD will work with the satellite Pro M70?

  There are likely to be problems of compatibility, driver issues or any probability/possibility of damage to the Sat ProM70?

  Would appreciate any advice.

  Thank you

  AlanCB

  Hi Alan

  I really don? t know why you ask if the floppy drive will not work. Why you don? t he try? As far as I know, it should work and you should not buy a new one.

  Just for info: a few months ago, I saw the Toshiba FDD drives with part number PX? And these drives are not bootable but on the lower side, there is a label with this information.

  Anyway, you can use your other more ancient. According to the specification tested for MS M70 is FDD Drive Kit PA3109U-1FDD (your one).

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro M70 - USB port does not recognize the device

  My Satellite Pro M70 has three USB slots, one on the left and two (vertically one above the other) at the back of the laptop.

  The top slot to USB in the back started giving problems. Sometimes, my computer can't see all that I plugged in there. But if I unplug anything - usually the printer or the mouse - the computer will usually see it then.

  What is the problem? Can do nothing about it?

  My operating system is XP. and my laptop is 4.33 year.

  Thank you.

  Hi Mannix,

  Have you already updated the chipset drivers?

  I read in the forum about these questions and normally helps to reinstall the chipset driver. :)

• Satellite Pro M70 freezes everytime when the USB port is used

  Satellite Pro M70 (SPM76) crashes every time when the USB port is used.
  The mouse works, but external HD/Extarnal card sound/Memory stick causing the laptop to freeze. All the drivers are installed right, they are the most recent and have no trouble with other users.

  The devices are all compatible. Service pack 2 is installed, and all the hardware drivers on the toshiba have been updated... again, same problem.
  The toshiba is about 2 months old and have had this problem since I got it. First I thought it was the drvers, but I cleared of all (?) other options but the USB ports.

  Hello

  Believe me, that's not easy to say what the problem may be. It is important to see if the problem occurs because of hardware or software may be. I recommend you to backup all your data and reinstall the unit using rescue media. On this way the unit will be factory settings and will be clean preinstalled. Test your USB devices and see what happens.

  Try to use some standard like USB stick or external HARD disk parts, because in this case, you must not install any drivers please. If you use other devices like USB webcam with own software and drivers, it is possible that something goes wrong, but what. On this path, it is not possible to say.

• Satellite Pro M70: removal of the USB device causes other peripheral USB does not work

  Withdrawal/use of a USB for a USB device causes devices on USB port to get affected.

  Satellite Pro M70-199 (2 GB RAM)
  Windows XP Pro (SP2) with all updates of Windows installed until end of October 2006.
  This laptop has 3 USB ports.
  An Eicon Diva ISDN USB modem is connected to a USB port.

  When certain devices connected to a different USB port are deleted (even if removed safely with "eject" or "remove device safely", it causes the ISDN modem to file either a double channel (64 k + 64 k) ISDN, or for the ISDM modem to disconnect completely.)

  Cause this include any memory stick USB, MP3 player (ipod and creative zen) and so on.

  Do other devices, such as USB external hard drives & sometimes external DVD USB drives, and sonetimes do not produce this problem.

  Is this a known issue?
  If it is a hardware interrupt problem, how to solve it?
  This problem is related to the modem and the laptop?

  As a note, in addition, intermittent (random) times (cannot reproduce all the time, but it happens once or twice a day) when a USB device is accessible it causes the modem USB ISDN to drop a single channel, even if the lights on the modem still show it as it is connected. In this case and the case above, the only way to get the modem ISDN USB running again is physically disconnect and reconnect.

  The reason why it is a crucial issue is that:
  (1) the modem speed is halved or disconnected
  (2) the ISP continues to full rate for a double load connection even if a channel has been dropped.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I have Satellite M70-159 and I didn t notice any strange problems with the USB ports. I use a few of them as printer, webcam, USB, memory stick, optical mouse, and external HARD drive. The devices are recognized correctly and I always remove without option delete without danger.

  Now I have Vista pre-installed and there is no problem so far. If I understand you right USB ports work fine but there is problem with USB modem only. Am I wrong?
  Also try to contact the producer of modem support. Is perhaps the question like this known and if all goes well, they have a logical explanation.

• For Satellite Pro M70 boot sequence

  Issues related to the:

  1. What is the default setting for the boot to the Satellite Pro M70 sequence?

  2. What is the procedure for changing the boot during the start-up phase sequence?

  3. What is the most 'sensitive' boot sequence, with & without an attached external floppy drive?

  Thank you
  AlanCB

  Well, I'm not 100% sure but I think the default start setting is:
  DISK HARD-CD/DVD-FDD-LAN
  However, you can set and change parameters in the Toshiba HWSetup that is located in Control Panel.

  Just FYI: by pressing a key during POST, you can choose the boot device.
  D - default system
  U USB FDD
  1 - disc HARD bed
  2 - slim select bay (if available) HDD
  C - CD rom
  N - network LAN
  P - PC HDD (PCMCIA) card

  But these options are not always available.

• HDD upgrade for Satellite Pro M70

  Is anyone know the upgrades available to change the standard 60GB hard drive in the Satellite Pro M70 (PSM76E-00100KEN) with something bigger.

  The Toshiba Options site shows only optionally available external hard drives, but noticed that the newer models of the same family have between 80 and 100 GB discs, so I asked if any of these would correspond, for example:

  PSM75E-00P004EN uses a 100 GB drive
  PSM76E-00500KEN uses a 80 GB drive

  You can also all drives available from other sources that might be suitable - what spec should I look, speed, installation size, connections etc. and BIOS compatibility

  All the info appreciated, surprising how fast the disk fills up, and I would like to keep in-house, although I also use an external drive of 250 GB for home storage and backups etc.

  Thank you
  Steve

  Hello

  The Satellite Pro M70 series is great, but I think that every m70 must support a HARD drive with serial - ATA interface.
  Some units have been delivered with a 80 GB HARD drive. In my view, that a 100 GB HARD drive should also work.

  I found a few properties of the HARD drive:
  Rotating disk: 5400 RPM
  Buffer size: 8 MB
  Number of discs: 2
  Number of Heads: 4

• Satellite Pro M70: How to connect to the internet using a second computer

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro M70 with a RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC use this, the laptop was connected to a desktop PC, whereby it is connected to the internet via a modem ADSL (USB) on the desktop. The laptop runs XP Pro; the desktop has XP Home.

  My laptop has been a nasty virus. When removing it, he lost the ability to network. I tried "repair network", but he could not find an IP address. In the end, I had to manually set an IP address for the network to work again. You use IPCONFIG release and renew the IP addresses that failed - unable to connect to the DHCP server.

  He could now see the Office network and Exchange files across be it, but it could no longer contact internet.

  I decided to reinstall the OS on the laptop, but this does not solve the problem. I still have to manually set the IP on the laptop. I can connect two PCs, but does not see the internet from the laptop on the network.

  If I connect the laptop directly to the internet via the modem, it works fine. I can even access the internet from the computer on the network when this is the laptop that has the internet connection.

  The virus could have damaged the Ethernet controller, or she affected somehow?

  Is it possible to test?

  Have you advice?

  Hello

  The virus was detected on the laptop you so maybe your PC has also been affected.
  Did you check if the laptop and the PC using the same workgroup?

  XP supports a help option. There, you might choose the Internet Connection Sharing Troubleshooter. "

  Maybe it helps

• IE needs more load using Dynadock V10 on Satellite Pro M70

  Hello

  When I use the Dynadock V10 on the satellite Pro M70 every time when a program has pictures in it, the need for long time to load, and for this time the mouse cursor is jumping. It appears in MS Internet Explorer as well as in MS Word.

  Is he maybe a bottleneck with all these different data to come take a simple USB cable?

  When I do not use the Dynadock, linking all the various cables directly with the satellite Pro error doesn't happen!
  Driver Grafik is on the most recent release and the operating system Windows XP SP3 and latest updates!
  I tried to uninstall the software Dynadoc, but the problem remains takes place.

  How can I solve the problem, because now the work is so bad, that the Dynadoc is not supposed!

  Thanks in advance!

• Satellite Pro M70 can't read 4 GB SD card

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 PSM76E and a 4 GB SD card. The laptop can not read the card. How can I do to work properly?

  Problem is that older models of laptops have problem reading last SD cards with a capacity still more and more. In my opinion it has not much to do. Maybe you can try to install the driver for some newer model laptop SD card reader. Perhaps driver for A100.
  I have too many M70, but I don't use SD cards. I prefer that USB keys because there is no any type of restriction.

  Hello

  I guess that your average slot on the right side of the laptop.
  Well, the express card expansion slot can accommodate two standard module formats: an expressCard/34 and expresscard/54 module to the module. An expressCard module is small, modular add-in card technology based on USB and PCI Express interface.

• Satellite Pro M70 - stopped screen lights

  Hello

  My Toshiba Satellite PRO M70 screen lights.
  I don't know why, but sometimes when the screen is broken and I put it up it turns on, but after a few seconds it stops.

  It started a few days without something strange in my pc like hitting or something like that.
  I tried to connect an external display and it works weell.

  Anyone know why it cant pass or how fix it?

  Thank you

  Greetings

  Toni.

  Hello

  The Fn keys work?
  You can increase the display button narrowly by using the FN + F7 combination?

  Please also check the energy saving profile.
  Maybe the display brightness is set to a lower value in the power saver profile.

  But if you will not find anything unusual in the settings of the software, so I guess that the brightness display problem is related to the failure of inverter FL.
  The FL inverter controls the brightness of the screen, and this part needs to be replaced.
