• Satellite Pro M70 - connection network wireless & query Update Driver problem

  I have a portable Satellite Pro M70 under Win XP SP3 and would be very happy of little help and answers to the following problems:

  1 Wireles Internet connection problem: my laptop Satellite Pro M70-220 (part number: PSM75E-00D008G3) is an adapter Intel(r) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection, with driver version 9.0.2.25, according to Device Manager

  I am staying with someone, and I'm trying to use his internet connection through its network (WPA2) secure wireless home.
  I could connect my laptop to the wireless network, but I can not get Internet Explorer and Outlook Express to work on it.
  I tried the Intel Wireless driver update to the latest version of the driver 9.0.4.39, but got the same result, and I'm back to Driver version 9.0.2.25.

  If you'd be grateful if someone could advise me on what could cause this problem and how to solve it.

  2. wireless driver update: site Web de Toshiba advised me for the two years that there is a driver update available (Atheros Wireless Driver v 7.7.0.406.2) for my laptop, but I have NOT installed, because the wireless network adapter Intel(r) PRO/Wireless 2200BG, NOT of Atheros.

  Ques:am I correct?

  Question: Why the Web from Toshiba site recommends the Atheros wireless driver update?

  Thank you

  Hi Alan

  1.
  Can you use IE and other applications if the WIFI network is not secure with WPA2?
  You can test using WEP?
  Just to be safe because of securing WLAN.

  2.
  You are right. Your model has Intel WLAN card and if you need a new driver just visit Portal Toshiba WLAn under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/

  I really don't know what service or upgrade of system you are using, but if everything works well you don't need any update to date.

• I lost my disc to restore system for Satellite Pro M70

  Hello

  I lost my system restore disc for my Satellite Pro M70.
  If anyone can help with possible solutions. I want to restore it for my sister to take to College.

  Thank you
  Greg

  Possible solutions?
  Well you can take the Microsoft Windows disk and can install windows by using the original Microsoft disc. All the necessary drivers and tools are placed on the European driver Toshiba page.

  I think you will not be able to order this disc of the local ASP or on this site https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx because the M70 is a little older

  So the real solution can be an installation of the OS by using MS Win drive

• Satellite Pro M70: buttons for internet and cd/dvd

  I have a portable Satellite Pro M70 with XP and - I believe - service pack 3. I bought it there is a little more than four years (Dec. 2005).

  There is a series of six buttons to the right of the keyboard, just below the power button. The first button has been programmed to launch my internet browser to a key. The other buttons have been to launch the media player and control CD/DVD discs (play, pause, stop, forward, backward).

  These buttons were a convenience, but for some time, they have not worked. I have no idea why. Can anyone help? Can they be fixed easily?

  > These buttons were a convenience but for some time, they have not worked.
  What does that mean? They are broken and do not work or you cannot start defined applications?
  Have you tried to set them using Toshiba control.

  You can start this application from Toshiba Assist > Optimize.

• 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.

• Video capture with a satellite Pro M70: which ports and drives can I use?

  I want to edit my home movies on my Satellite Pro M70 using WXP Pro (win dvd or movie maker). I want to capture video from my panasonic camcorder that has digital strips. What are the ports that I can use and what cables do I need? I'm desperate to edit my recent wedding video to put on DVD and mail it to my mom. The panasonic website has ignored me! Any advice anyone?

  Well, as far as I know this unit has only one S-video output port. In this case, you can connect the laptop to the TV and look at the photo of laptop to TV but it of not possible to receive all the signals of TV or any other device on your laptop.
  To receive the signals, you need a composite or a s-video port.

  However, if the camcorder has a firewire if port you can send digital files through the firewire connection. But this should only work with digital files that are saved on the camcorder.

• 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!

• 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: 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 M70-113: not possible to write on CD - R and DVD-R

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba satellite pro m70-113 laptop.
  Playback problems:
  I'm unable to read cd - r. It's really strange that a few days earlier these CD - R have been reading very well on my drive.
  and when I click on the cd drive in my computer, an error dialog box shows and says f: is not accessible, incorrect function. Here's a screenshot of the error... :

  And when I try to read my DVD-R, a few times they read very well but sometimes it does not read and the drive LED is lit when it does not read the dvd - r.
  When it reads the DVD-R, the following error message comes: screenshot here: http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/9674/2bc0.jpg

  Write problems:
  After getting reading problems, I tried to test my drive writable.
  And I found that I'm unable to write on cd - r. I used alcohol and Nero once but without success.

  Although the same content when it is burned to cd - rw, it is a success.
  I am able to burn successfully on a support DVD + RW 4 x with data amounting to close to 4.34 GB for DVD5...
  When I insert a DVD - R Virgin car doesn t detects it as a blank media and the keps LED on lighting constantly and if nero State doesn't detect my DVD even! I'm not able to write on my DVD-R media...

  In short: write to RWs is possible for both cd - r and dvd + RW not possible of writing on CD - R and DVD-R.

  Please help me.
  It is only 7 months since I bought this laptop and believe that there may be no other person on this planet who looks after the training better than me!
  Really, I have not much used this drive and never scratched/gradient/local support, only the Supermedium media inserted.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Well, based on your description it sounds like the drive cannot calibrate the lens and, therefore, it of not possible to read or write to these media.
  Usual it of not possible to fix this and the replacement drive is necessary.

  You can also consult the user manual. You will find a list with all supported and compatible media.

• Satellite Pro M70 and chariging problems

  Hello everyone,

  I wonder if anyone can help me with my problem, my Satellite Pro M70 sometimes does not load when I put the charger into the socket, if I out of the power supply and leave it for 2 days I have costs for a period of time up to 20 hours, and then did the same thing.

  I tried to turn it on without the battery, to check whether the problem is with him, but he turns. So this led me to believe the problem isn t the battery.

  Can anyone help?

  > have tried to turn it on without the battery, to check if the problem is with him, but it won't turn
  You mean the power of t n for laptop up connected to the sector, but without battery plugged in?

  Hmmm, to me this looks like a bit of a problem with AC adapter or an electrical problem of power offers the Board of Directors. As you probably knew that, it is really difficult to provide suggestions without touching the laptop.

  First of all, you can check if the machine uses latest BIOS. If this isn't the case, update the BIOS.
  Check if the laptop would go also without battery and only connected to the network.

  If this does not work, then the adapter should be verified.
  If the AC adapter is ok, then, the motherboard must be verified

• Satellite Pro M70-113: cannot install Vista graphics driver and lines appears on the display

  Hello

  I have satellite pro m70-113 with ati x 700 graphics card.

  When I installed vista, he installed the default drivers for the x 700 'mobility radeon x 700-microsft Corp.-WDDM '.

  I've updated the display drivers for vista, that released by toshiba 2 days back... but the driver is not updated to the latest version, only the catalyst control center is installed when I ran the update of the driver of toshiba.

  The problem is that whenever I put my laptop in standby or hibernation and resume... the screen shows thin lines vertical/horizontal... and I can't use the laptop... and I have to still put the system to sleep, just to hope that it is not blocking the screen this time...

  This problem is 25% of the time only when resume...

  This problem is not resolved by the update driver for toshiba has released a few days back... as is not installs the drivers (I can't even install the drivers with the option "update drivers" of Device Manager and select file driver update from toshiba.) It says windows find new driver, but could not install the driver... Contact the manufacturer...)

  This snap shows the problem... : http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2783/12042007366copyod1.jpg

  I updated the driver from an earlier version of catalyst, as it is downloaded from the ati site before that toshiba has released the update... this time it updates some 8. XXX version but the screen problem remains...

  Second, this update of the driver leaves me not sleep my system... the process starts for a sleep, but go back to the locked screen without making sleep ever... so I have no choice to get stuck with the default Windows... drivers having only the problem of the screen... and not the problem of sleep...

  Anyone here with a solution?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I have Satellite M70-159 and I noticed the same thing several times. For most Vista works well but I don't remember cases in which the described problem occurs. I was just curious on M70 Vista and have had no time to intensive testing.

  Anyway, it will be interesting to know if you have already updated the BIOS to the latest version 5.10. If this is not the case to do this and watch carefully if the problem persists.
