• M30 - 107 - replace the DVD - RW drive?

  I replace the DVD - RW drive in my laptop. I was wondering if someone could tell me the steps that would be involved in it, or else where I might be able to find this information.

  Thank you!

  Hi Philippe,.

  Feliks is altogether correct with his comments about your request. Because the device is "fixed" in your notebook will invalidate you your warranty if you replace yourself.

  However, as with most laptops, CD/RW can be removed if you really want to. It is normally split into place and then fixed by one or two screws. For example, my A30 is secired by a single accessible screw from the base of the laptop. I don't know about the model M30 you need so you will need to check where it is attached.

  Once the screws are released, the unit can be slipped out of its slot.

  You should then be able to find the label on the device and this will tell you the serial number and model.

  If you are replaceing with a similar device, then you will probably have to remove the plastic frame and cut panels and mounting brackets and adapt them to the new unit.

  Replace the unit and the re - fix it with the screws and the work is done then.

  You can, of course, replace your device with another (Toshibe notebooks) do use several different, but there is no guarantee that you new unit will work properly without having to install new drivers for it.

• 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.

  Here is some information on USB devices, followed by some information about IRQ settings.

  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.

• Satellite Pro M70-113: is the update of the Bios as of 03/06/07 supports slic tables

  Hello
  Maybe someone knows if the update of the bios for toshiba satellite pro m70-113, dated 03/06/07 supports slic tables or not?
  For vista oem installation dvd?

  Thank you...

  You will not be able to find info accurate on the BIOS and what exactly is supported or not. If you just want to install Vista on your M70 I can just say that I installed Vista Ultimate on my Satellite M70-159 (PSM71E) without any problem.

• Satellite Pro M70 - what is the Bluetooth module reference number

  Could someone who has a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70, with bluetooth, tell me the part number of the bluetooth module please?

  You can reed one of the labels under your laptop. You can read bluetooth inside, the reference is in the left side of the label, and it will be something like this: PA3418U-BTM.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Why you n t make a call to the service allowed in your country partner and would order a compatible BT module for your laptop?
  In my opinion, it would be the best way to get a.

  Unfortunately I m no owner of the satellite Pro M70 and, therefore, I have don t know the part number for BT. But my A210 has been equipped with an internal module of BT and PA3608U-1BTM part number

  Welcome them

• Satellite Pro M70: Question on the port on the left hand side

  Another question regarding the Pro M70 PSM75E, next to the hard drive (left side) there is a port which you can take off. I took it of and it looks like a chip grafx or something: s someone with the M70 not what it is.

  Thanks again

  Hello

  Well, there are of many Satellite Pro M70. It s a great series.
  But for example Satellite Pro M70-110 has a PCMCIA Type II slot.
  You can use the different PCMICA card in this slot. But they must be compatible.
  I guess this slot machine, you found a plastic Board. This is only for security.

  However, if you want to learn more about your device, I would recommend reading the user manual which must be preinstalled on your laptop. You will find very, very, very ;) useful information.

• 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.

• Satellite L500D - replacing the DVD - RW drive

  I have a model of Satellite L500D PSL T6A-015003. (portable)

  Recently I placed a CD in the DVD RW drive and the CD did not play.

  When I removed the CD, the disc of black Center that keep the CD etc up to were broken on the disk. The black disc was stuck in the CD I pulled out and a small piece and spring also fell out.

  Can I get a replacement black Center disk or do I have to buy a replacement DVD RW drive. If I have to buy a replacement drive, can someone please tell me where I can buy one, I'm in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.

  I have a few details to the reader, these are:

  HL data storage
  Super multi DVD re writer
  Model GT20N (7 7 ATAK)
  Serial number BOCRGTB831062

  I appreciate any help on this

  In my opinion, you should buy another ODD and of course identical. You have any important data on this piece of hardware so use Google and check if you can find an online store in your country where you can order.
  In the worst cases contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask if they can order it for you.

• 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

  AlanCB

  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.

• Replace the DVD RW Drive (Sftware)

  Hi I have a m8013w desktop pc. I have lightscribe. My DVD drive has failed and I ordered a new one that comes with the lightscribe software. My question is that I have to use the software installation disc which will come with the new drive or am I ready for departure without having to reinstall the software. I have now. I'm on the other procedure like uninstall in Device Manager and replacing the drive. I'm not sure how my software would be affected and the purpose of the disk that is shipped if I have lightscribe. Or are there other things on the installation disc. It is not mentioned in the instructions. Thank you.

  Keith

  You don't need to do anything about this either except to replace the DVD drive... do not worry about the installation of new software or uninstalling the driver from Device Manager.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300D - firmware for the DVD player?

  Hello

  I recently got a nice new Satellite Pro A300D of my work and was just my typical thing to go through the update of their efforts. However, when you try to update the firmware of the DVD drive for my particular model (PSAK9E-00C003EN), I realized that the firmware he suggested was wrong. After watching on my pc, I discovered that my drive is Pioneer DVD - RW DVRTD08A (1.50), but I can't find information anywhere on the net about the updates of the firmware (or the existence of this drive at all!). Could someone point me in the direction of some information and firmware more recent if it exists?

  Thanks for any info that someone has!

  Willybob

  Satellite Pro A300D was equipped of various CD/DVD players.
  On the Toshiba driver page, you can find an update of the firmware that came out for a CD/DVD drive that was not installed in your laptop and so you can not install this update.

  If you are unable to find an update of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive, then an update doesn't exist and is not necessary!

• Satellite Pro L500 - cannot install the Realtek LAN driver

  Hi all

  I got a Satellite Pro L500 Windows 7 pro with disk created from computers, cell phones, but now cannot install a Realtek LAN driver for the laptop.

  The installation of the driver software program doesn't seem to work properly all the time, tried several times to install with only once a realtek 'repair' option becomes available.
  When I managed to install the driver I got an error "the device couldn't start. After restoring I also had problems with a "controller driver simple communication PCL.
  which seems to have been an Intel MEI according to the SAT, DEV info displayed in the information systems.

  If these problems are linked and how to install the driver required in an automated system if the system does not correctly detects hardware?

• Satellite Pro M70 - doesn't recognize DVD

  I have the M70 and were able to watch DVDs without problem before on WinDVD and WMP, but now the laptop didn't register that I have a DVD in the drive.

  When I go in WinDVD or WMP, I tells me to enter a disk. I don't understand what I've done, if something or how to fix this.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You reinstall the OS or what?
  The same problem appears with the CD s or s DVD?

  The solution described in this article to the problems of similar disk rule useful Microsoft Knowledge base.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

  I recommend to delete the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry entries.
  It is probably a key.

  If this does not help, maybe the drive is malfunctioning.
  This may happen if the lens of the player is unable to calibrate correctly.
