• Satellite Pro U400 freezes sometimes when the power cord is plugged

  Hello! I know that this problem has been addressed here and there, but I'd like to open a new thread about it. Here's the scenario.

  I recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-247 (PSU45E) with two batteries: (a) the original, (b) in addition purchased authentic of Toshiba PA3636U-1BRL, 7200 mAh. The laptop has the latest BIOS (4.80) and the latest drivers downloaded from Toshiba and installed (ConfigFree is not installed). I use XP Pro SP3 (own installation by myself). Everything works fine, except for one thing:

  Sometimes (but), when the laptop is running on battery power and I plug in the power cord, everything hangs and I have to restart. A few observations:

  It tends to occur more frequently when the low battery alarm has rung;
  (b) it seems to happen more frequently with the 7200 mAh battery and less frequently with the original battery.
  (c) it seems to happen most often when a USB device (mouse, for example) has been linked to the laptop, but it is not a rule;
  (d) it seems to happen less often when I move the mouse USB at the time wherever I am connect the power cord.
  (e) I've experimented a lot with Toshiba PowerSaver settings (for example to change the levels of CPU for my profile) but nothing I changed seems to change the situation.
  (f) I tried different suggestions I found on various forums, but nothing works (for example the BIOS settings);
  (g) otherwise, I can say that I have not really seen a smoother computer, everything works really fine, no other problem :)

  Everything that makes me think it must be some sort of bug in the drivers of motherboard driver PowerSaver or other drivers interact with battery, CPU or possibly USB. Y at - it an explanation to this problem and can it be rectified in some way (for example, by providing a driver update)?

  Hello

  First of all, I never heard a driver from the motherboard.
  There is a drive chipset or a graphics card driver. There is no such thing as a driver of the motherboard!

  Look, man. laptop should work fine even the AC adapter is connected or not connected
  If the laptop freezes while there might be a software problem, but in my opinion it could be hardware problem
  You must reinstall the operating system if the laptop would freeze always the issue might be related to hardware

  First of all the memory modules and AC adapter must be verified.
  If the problem persists even using new modules and AC adapter, motherboard may be affected.

• Satellite L500 - high-pitched noise when the USB port is in use

  I have a Satellite L500-1ZP, aged from 1 month. When I connect a usb key or other device in my usb port, the laptop generates a high-pitched noise.
  The sound is not strong, strong but enough to irritate me.
  When I disconnect a device, the sound disappears.
  The sound is also there when I disconnect my laptop to the grid form.

  This is a common problem and can it be resolved?

  To be honest I don't think that this is a common problem. Is that what you found more threads with the same description of problem?
  The same happens when you use the available USB ports?
  You can locate where this noise is coming from? Maybe the speakers?

• Satellite Pro M70 - how to enable the touchpad mouse by using the keyboard?

• Portege M500 cannot start when the USB ports are loaded

  We have a M500 that recently seems to be affected by start-up problems when the USB ports are loaded with things like KB and Wireless Mouse USB external adapter.

  When these ports are occupied at the start, all the usual tools seem do not load and the associated icons do not appear in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. The machine in question XP Professional and has 2 GB of RAM. The machine software is generally updated. Machine seems to start normally when the USB ports are empty.

  Once completed a successful boot USB ports can be occupied and the machine will then seem to operate normally.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you.

  Hello!

  In your case, I would do a BIOS update and also the chipset driver.
  The two you can find on the Toshiba site. I m not sure but I think you have a model for Canada:

  Have you tested the devices USB on another computer laptop or PC? Maybe the problem is the keyboard and/or the mouse and not the laptop.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro M70 does not read the DVD of some manufacturers

  Recently, my Satellite Pro M70 stopped reading some DVDs, specifically verbatim...
  When I put in, it is just to see any disk. If I put the same disk into any other computer, even my friends Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 - than mine, even it reads normally.

  Any ideas?

  WEIRD laser could be at fault, or it is maybe dirty. Try to clean the lens with a Microfiber cloth.

• 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 Pro M70: WMP only on the drop-down list of media buttons

  Hey there.

  I have the Satellite Pro M70. I know where to go if I want to change my toshiba media buttons works with, but when I go there it only shows Windows Media Player on the menu drop down.
  I tried to install and reinstall my Itunes but nothing seems to work.
  I have to go through a complicated procedure to make my Itunes appear there or something?

  Please help... I feel that these buttons are useless if I do not use them. Laughing out loud.

  Thank you very much. appreciate your help.

  Command buttons Toshiba supports only the Windows Media Player (if the CD inserted) or DVD to win (if available DVD player and DVD inserted)
  You cannot use it with an application of part 3 as ITunes.

• Satellite Pro M70-275 - where is the lid switch?

  Hei,

  I have problem with backlight in my laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro M70-275). I think that the problem will be solved completely if I find where is the button of the cover.

  I hope someone can help and guide me to the location of the switch.

  THX

  Hello

  Are you sure that the problem is the lid switch? Normally if the backlight doesn t work on the screen inverter FL needs to be replaced.
  What happens if you connect an external monitor to the laptop? You see an image?

  The FL switch is normally placed under the cover of the display. It s a little trickier to Exchange because it is necessary to remove the plastic cover of the screen.
  Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help.

• Re: Satellite Pro M70 - high utilization of the processor - low Performance

  I sincerely hope that someone can help you. I do not consider myself really computer illiterate, but this is where my understanding ends and I really value any assistance.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 for 2 years and I'm a final Defender to Toshiba. However, my operating system is slow. Average day use with Internet Explorer and Office 2007 is a laborious process that takes too much time. I have had conflicts with Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, that works perfectly.

  But turn on the computer takes forever. The CPU usage is generally high and System Idle process as well. I reinstalled Windows XP from the Boot Toshiba DVD already 4 times to nine and install everything over and over again. Each time after all to speed once again, performance is disappointing.

  I expanded RAM to 1.49 GB that makes little difference from the original 1/3 of RAM. It seems that something is slowing down the computer, but it is not visible in the process; but a certain process of svhost.exe who have the ability to handle little or the CPU usage.

  I've used Windows Gold Certified Uniblue Power Suite with a good registry cleaner. This helps a little, but after a few days, it seems only make it worse. I have a processor Intel Pentium M 1.73 GHz. search online reveals that Trend Micro IS 2008 is pretty good and demanding little capacity compared to the competing security packages.

  Is this system/software related or it could be a hardware problem?

  Thanks in advance to all!

  Hello

  I doubt that it could be a hardware problem, I mean a CPU usage can get if a certain service or applications would be run in the background of the OS.

  Generally, Antivirus applications are a kind of software that could cause this problem I had a Norton System works installed on my laptop and this software needs a lot of resources that slowed down the laptop
  In addition, some applications of Toshiba which are installed and running in the background may affect performance. But these applications are required to be able to use all the features of the laptop

  However, in msconfig you could disable.
  Launch msconfig-> Startup tab and disable some processes that are not necessary for you.

  In addition, you can use the CCleaner to clean the registry and operating system

• Satellite Pro M70-273: feature of the Express Media Player feature

  Two weeks ago, I bought a Pro Satellite Toshiba M70-273 'Limited Edition' (?). The model number is PSM76E-00J00QDU, SPM76, model name, production date 2006-02-21. According to the specs I found in the online user manual or in a folder with the publication references
  «TEG October 2005, art.» N0. DSSSPM70 10/05NLBE', there is a 'Express media feature' 'on some selected models "...

  It is not clear if yes or no, the model that I bought it. I have an of CD/DVD "button that I use to run my built-in dvd player (WinDVD for example), but it does not work as it appears as 'a disc standalone player' who plays a dvd (movie) without the need of Windows startup.

  To watch the movie on dvd, after using the CD/DVD button, I start in Windows, the connection in Windows XP, and the office at startup, the WinDVD screen presents the film.

  This isn't what I expect from a stand-alone dvd player. My old laptop has a 'dj function' with which you can play a cd without booting in Windows (or turning on the laptop), simply by pressing a special button on the front. What about the promised feature of the Toshiba Satellite Pro?

  Is there a feature "Express Media Player" at all? How can I check if the function is provided? I used the provided configuration, the first time I used my laptop. I don't want to use the recovery CD provided unless it would be absolutely necessary to install this missing functionality.

  Hello

  Yes. Some Toshiba models use a player Qosmio (Qosmio units) and some computers laptop Toshiba supports also the Media Express Player.

  I downloaded the user manual of the Satellite Pro M70 and it seems that some laptop computers in this series come with the express media player. But unfortunately the Media Express drive was not installed and delivered with this laptop.
  See Chapter 4 of the manual

• Satellite Pro M70: Where to get the Mobile power adapter

  Can someone tell me where to find a removable card for this laptop that is to say one that can power the laptop from the car cigarette lighter charging.

  Hello

  Try to google for this part number: PX1188E-1NPO for computer laptop adapter car 120W, 15V, 8A

• Satellite Pro A120 cannot start when the printer is connected

  Hi I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 but I'm having a very strange problem.

  I installed my printer - Epson Stylus Photo R300, but now the laptop will not start if the printer is on. When I turn it on the Toshiba screen comes ok, then the Windows XP screen comes with the black background when the blue bar to cross to load Windows but its all disappear and the laptop just hangs and will not!

  However, if you turn the printer off and turn the laptop it starts up fine!

  Its really the printer which is the cause as its only when I turned it on.

  It's never caused this problem with my old PC using Windows XP too.

  Any help with a resolution would be greatly appreicated.

  Thank you

  Adam.

  How to disconnect the printer during the boot process? ;)

• Satellite A100-033: disable touchpad when the USB mouse is conencted

  I have a Toshiba Satellite running Vista Home Basic.
  Recently, I had a catastrophic failure of the Windows and had to install it from scratch.

  Before the failure, I had found a few (well hidden) setting that invalidates the touchpad automatically whenever an external USB mouse was connected.
  To the left it works whenever the mouse is disconnected.

  Can someone help me? (He had nothing to do with the Synaptics driver, which does not allow this.)

  Hello

  I can activated and disable this feature in my dashboard-> mouse settings

  In the mouse settings, I choose the device settings tab, and then I can check the option called disable pointing device internal when the eternal USB pointing device is attached.
