• Satellite Pro M70: ConfigFree says that WLAN is not enabled

  Hello

  I'm running on wireless on my Satellite Pro M70.
  The WiFi light is orange (yellow), then the communication is running. The internet doesn't work, no problem.

  But when I run the free app Config and search for wireless networks, I get the message "wireless communication is disabled. Enable '.
  I reinstalled the Config Free, but get the same problem.

  It seems that this application cannot see my active switch.
  In Device Manager, the wireless adapter works and indicate the wireless is turned on.

  Clearly, I can seee the networks available through the network of the Systray icon, but I wonder what's the problem with Config Free. Someone at - it an idea?

  See you soon

  Hello

  The wireless network must be enabled using the WLan switch and in addition, you need to activate using the FN + F8 key combination.

  But why you are using the ConfigFree to connect WiFi?
  I don t use it in my opinion, that you can simply set the wireless connection using Windows own WLan options or you can use a Wlan as Intel ProSet configuration tool
  Both options are easy to use

• Satellite Pro M70: The game performance with Vista and Intel 915GM graphics card

  I have a satellite Pro M70 1.73Ghz with 768 MB of RAM.
  Although many would condemn the 915GM chipset (with graphic GMA900) as garbage, I was surprised to find on XP it can run quite a few games like Need for Speed Underground 2.
  I've heard some bad comments on the chipset with vista, and I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows if I'll get the same kind of performance 3D with vista or not.

  Hey guys

  You have a Mobile Intel 915GM 8MB - 128 MB shared memory graphics memory. What do you expect?
  Check on the Microsoft website, the terms of Vista!

  It s not a graphics card performance and the games will not work with fast performance under XP and not Vista OS.

  Expect too buddy!

• Satellite Pro M70 overheats and turns off

  Need to support some tech with this problem.

  Satellite Pro M70 constant over heating problem. After use of 20-30 minutes of normal (web navigation etc.) the bottom of the laptop becomes really hot near the fan, unbearably hot to the touch.
  If I play games or do whatever it is cpu-intensive, it will end by the smell of the burning and power off.

  All this time the CPU fan never turns! Just lets him get more hotter and hotter. Strange thing, that's when you start first upward, the spins of CPU fan for about 5-6 seconds to make it work! Already tried to clean it, was not very dirty, the fan is not stuck, it runs if you blow...
  Update I tried to the latest version of the BIOS overheating again...
  Tried all the toshiba utils for cpu temp monitoring etc., they indicate the CPU get more hotter and hotter much more of 60 c +, but none of them (or other 3rd party utils) can detect the fan...!

  Fix for that or is it just bad fan / design of the temp sensor?

  > Already tried cleaning...
  Yes, but how did you do that?

  In the past, I have separated three Satellite M70 notebooks and was surprised inside, how much dust has been placed behind the cooling rack. After notebook professional cleaning was much quieter and has been properly cooled.
  Maybe the grease thermal CPU and graphic should be replaced also.
  After a long period of use, it seems quite dehydrated.

• Satellite Pro M10 freeze and crash with some programs

  Hello

  I have a M10 Pro Satellite...
  A few weeks ago it's freeze and crash with some programs like wmpayer, messenger... I delivered to the authorized agent and they had not detected any problems.
  Already I have formatted several times, but the problem persists.

  Any idea what this may be?

  Thank you

  Hello

  For me it looks like you might have a motherboard problem. Formatting removes the chance that it is a software problem. Try taking 1 stick of RAM and test with it. If she continues to crash, remove that stick and try it. If she does it with the two RAM then those who are ok. HARD drive is not the culprit, so now he could either be processor or MB. Find a program to measure the heat from the laptop and run some heavy programs do overheat. If the temperature goes up and then it crashes, it could just be overheating. If it continues without overheating you either have a CPU or MB problem. I hope this helps.

• Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite Pro M70 with a Core 2 Duo CPU?

  I ve got the Toshiba Satellite Pro M70.
  It is with the Intel Centrino 1733 Mhz.
  I want to know if it is possible to update my system with a Core 2 duo.
  STI Centrino (Dothan) 479M CPU base and the core 2 duo is 479 Y.

  Thanks for your replies!

  Hello

  No, to my knowledge you cannot switch the laptop with Core Duo or Core 2 Duo CPU.

• Question about the temperature of the processor and the use of Vista on Satellite Pro M70

  Hello

  I have Satellite Pro M70-113 and it has Intel mobile Pentium 1.86 GHz CPU.
  The problem is that its normal temperature is 80 degrees Celsius... while I use the browser and other common programs...
  and recently it automatically shut off twice and pressing the button works / stop won't turn on... when I unplugged, replugged the power cord so I could only turn it on...

  And while playing games, it would of course go above 100 degrees...

  So you know what is the max temp through which the CPU can go without stop or damage the CPU or surrounding a circuit?
  I know that when I bought this laptop about 2 years back... it was not warm this...

  And by the way this laptop came with WXP Pro preinstalled and doesn't show any vista capable logo (because at the time, there was no such promotion of Microsoft, as it was the year 2005, Nov).

  Now, I use vista and upgraded to 1 GB of RAM and I have no problem using the Vista pc.

  Secondly, I did not update my BIOS to version the most recent is available.

  Although I'd love to have updated the BIOS but I worry about the bad flashing and says BIOS driver update page that the version of the BIOS doesn't support vista - whatever that means? If I go back to Windows XP Home edition after installing the BIOS for vista, the pc will not be usable for WXP or what?

  Is there any link to the processor heats to the old version of the BIOS, I'm still using... will update BIOS facilitated the temperature?

  Please answer.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Wow, you have a lot of questions. :) If I was sort of a support guy to it all with such question much. ;)

  No, I'm kidding; with regard to your questions:

  First of all you must clean your CPU cooling with compressed air, because if the breakdown is clobbed with dust and then it s just logical that your processor is a little bit more 'hot' then 2 years before.

  The max temp is available on the website of intel. I think that the section is called "intel spec finder" or something similar.
  With Vista and bios: you need to update your bios, since then some improvements are making more compatible bios for vista.
  But don t worry, XP won´t be unusable if you update your bios, the bios-update brings improvements for vista, but does not degrade anything about XP.

  If the bios update will solve this temporary problem is not clearly, rather a cleaning as I told you will be better.

• Satellite Pro M70-132: excellent WiFi connection but the pings are slow

  Hi all...
  My Satellite Pro M70-132 have problems with Wi - Fi connections (WiFi built in)... Generally, when the connection is excellent (indicator of windows), the pings are slow - very long time: 1212ms, 325ms, 645ms, 2112ms, 91ms, s 168ms... etc 'demand time limit has expired' (or sth like this).
  I have updated with the latest version of the Intel WiFi driver - it does not work...
  I installed new system - it does not work...

  Is it possible, that LAN WiFi is dead on my M70-132? How can I check before sending my 'Toshi' to the service?

  (BTW - built-in Bluetooth has been switched off...)

  I was tempted to access with several AP and also ad hoc. Every time, same results... connection strong-great but pings are slow... and often ping timeout...

  The IP address has been set manually and automatically - it does not work... too multidimensional :-(

  It's not metter WEP encryption is enabled, 'on' or 'off' and no authentication method does not change the situation with WLAN...

  Hello

  If the work of WLan connection and you are connected to the router so I guess everything's ok.
  Time to ping depends on not always the strength of the signal.

  If you ping other ip on the net if the time depends on the provider and type of connection.
  But if you ping your WLan router and it s very slow so it s a bit strange.

  If you think there could be something wrong with the Wlan card then you can try asking for help ASP.

• Expanded for Satellite Pro M70 PSM75E memory

  I need memory paged to my Lotus Symphony programs.
  But it does not work in this PSM75E-009005DU Toshiba Satellite Satellite Pro M70 with Windows XP.
  On my desktop with XP, it works... I can set it up in preferences shortcut on the screen.

  If you want to upgrade the memory?

  As far as I know, Satellite Pro M70 PSM75E was equipped with different processors and chipsets for upgrade memory can depends on model that you bought

  But I think you could increase the RAM up to 2 GB of RAM.
  You can use the modules of 533 Mhz 200pin 2 x 1 GB of RAM.

• Updates the drivers & utilities for Satellite Pro M70 (PSM75)

  How do you know if there are any updates available for the Toshiba drivers and utilities provided with my Satellite Pro M70 (PSM75), the Date of Production - January 27, 2006, and which are in the folder Toolscd (C:\ ToolsCD) on my laptop?

  Is there an update Service that recommend updates available for download?

  I checked the list of available downloads on the download page of the site of Toshiba UK ([http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK]), for the satellite Pro M70 (PSM75) and compared the version numbers of downloads, against the same drivers & Utilities version numbers in the file Toolscd (C:\) ToolsCD) on my laptop (IE in the XML TVersion files), and they are exactly the same, even for 16 drivers and utilities with a "Date last modified" on January 17, 2006 or newer (with new - August 1, 2008)

  The only real update which seems to be offered as a download, is the update of the BIOS v1.50 - WIN (in the BIOS downloads), with a 'last modified Date' of August 7, 2007, for which there is no equivalent in the Toolscd folder.

  Thank you

  AlanCB

  You can also check this page for the latest updates, as appropriate:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com (Support & downloads)

  I don't think that there is any tool, which continues to tell you that there are new updates available. For Windows, it is clear, that you can use the Windows Update feature. It has some function implemented tools can look for hardware drivers too.
  But for the rest, just keep on visiting the above mentioned page from time to time.

  In any case, if your computer works fine, you will not need any update.

• Satellite Pro M70: DDR2 memory matching question

  I have a Satellite Pro M70 (model PSM76E-00500KEN) with 512 MB of RAM in a housing and want to upgrade to 1 GB or more. I plan to put a 1 GB module in the slot to spare, but reading that there is sometimes a performance advantage of the installation of modules of DDR2 in pairs. Can someone tell me if there is any advantage to have the correspondence of the modules into the two slots of the Satellite Pro M70? Or, in other words, is there any reason not to run 1 GB in a slot and 512 MB in the other?

  Hello

  Dual channel DDR involves the use of memory modules DDR 2 to double bandwidth memory. The memory modules DDR themselves are no different. The only requirement is that the controller memory on the motherboard supports this interface dual channel.

• Problem on Satellite Pro M70 SD card reader

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro M70 (PSM76E) and can not get the SD card reader to work. I do not have the CD for my laptop and not drivers for the SD card reader in the download section for my laptop.
  I use XP Pro and it appeared in Device Manager as a mass storage device (with yellow apostrophe) soas suggested in a previous thread, I installed a driver of a similar model - now no yellow appostrophe but still does not work.

  Can anyone help please?
  Thank you very much
  Roy

  You don't have a SD card reader but 5 in 1 and for this device card reader, you need to install Cardbus Driver version 2.0.0.1. Have you already installed?
  It is available for your model of laptop. I found it on the Toshiba support page.

• 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.

  Good bye

• 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
  AlanCB

  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
