Satellite Pro M70 usually power up when the AC

Hello

I bought my dad a Satellite Pro M70 for his birthday and it was used for about 3 months. All of a sudden without any reason that it not power up if it is not connected to the AC. The battery registers itself as 100% charged.

When on AC, everything is fine no problem.

But when it is not plugged into the AC, it lights. When put under tension however you can unplug the AC and it will all work very well again.

Any ideas?

Should I try a BIOS update? or does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thank you
Martine

Hello

This problem appears at the beginning?
Sounds a bit like electroninc power supply malfunction and in this case, you should always ask the service provider to Toshiba for assistance.
Don t worry, seems, the guarantee is valid and each procedure must be done for free.

But I m interesting if this will help you:
Please, try to disable powerplay in the properties of the graphics card and do not set the CPU at low speed in Toshiba Power Saver mode fixed.
Check this option.

  • Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) - power off when the AC adapter is connected

    I bought this laptop for my wife about 2 years, since about 6 months ago, that the laptop was randomly shut off without warning, this only seems to happen while the power supply is connected as well.

    I have read several other posts on other sites with people having similar problems.

    There are various suggested corrections, you must disable the duel core in the bios so that it works only on one heart and he spend dynamic low for fans. I did this about 2 hours ago and touchwood not a single switch off again. This however is not an acceptable solution, there is obviously much more slowly.

    Another suggestion has been updated the bios, I downloaded it now but am very worried to run it, this laptop can stop at any moment, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours. If it stops while updating to bios, I doubt that it would be good news. I don't want to make it work on the single core for the rest of the day/night to see if its stable and then go for it.

    Before that, can I make a call to the toshiba helpline, I read on the forums that this is as well a defect of design within the laptop and there's a reminder of some of the laptops in the Canada, I do not know how it rings true but still a concern to read and might be unacceptable to the owners of the A200.

    Others have advised that it is an overheating problem, it's that I reject, I running SpeedFan and showing a stable 47 temp and it allows to switch off the coast immediately when turned on, yes it could be due to dust build up, something I checked and cleared, it did not a difference for the frequent switch offs.

    Im not too well why it is only when the power supply is connected, I have not tried a different PSU, but those who have had the same problem try this and it has not solved the problem.

    When I unplug my power as well the battery seems last mabye 5 minutes at the most.

    Overall, Im very unhappy all this, toshiba is a brand of 'high' where you expect better quality and pay for it.

    If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, would be also good to hear talk of toshiba support on the issue.

    My Satellite Pro M70 itself turns off in the middle of the secuence of startup

    After turning on if it passes the test post and enters the menu grub (Linux + Windows) or BIOS
    without problems, but most of the time after the start of the BONE found in the start - up, suddenly it powers off the power.

    The problem becomes bigger and bigger as punishment I can boot any operating system

    As seen on messages more soon as I cleaned the vents of CPU with a spray suddenly sure I wasn't a problem of overheatting.

    Someone has an idea of what can happen?

    Thank you

    Hmm, the laptop passes the MESSAGE correctly and it stops during the initialization of the operating system. Is this good?

    Well, in this case I would exclude the RAM to malfunction.

    I put t also think that it's an overheating problem because the laptop should work a little longer until it would be closed due to high temperature.

    What about the HARD drive malfunction? Are you sure that the HARD drive is ok?

    In my opinion, you should check the HDD and maybe try another.

  • 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. "

  • Satellite Pro M70: Unable to connect to the WLan with ConfigFree

    Salvation in the Forum.

    I have problems with a satellite Pro M70, about gaining control of wireless connections.

    When I scan with "The Radar" I have ConfigFree for available wireless accesspoints, I get several points available, but it is not able to connect to one of them. I can read their status and see their marker of WEP encryption.

    When I try to connect to one of them, I get a pop-up dialog, that said (translated from Danish) 'suppliers another software is in control of the wireless network card. When you try to configure a connection through the classic way to windows, windows States that "windows is not able to configure this wireless connection - if you have another program to manage wireless connections, you must use it". I guess it refers to ConfigFree...?

    Is the unnamed "other provider" associated Windows or perhaps associated McAfee (Security Suite 2007)?

    If you are familiar with this problem or something like that I'd be please to know.

    Also - where can I enter keys for WEP encryption for my friends in ConfigFree WLAN routers?

    > Trying to make a connection through the classic way to windows, windows States that "windows is not able to configure this wireless connection - if you have another program to manage wireless connections, you must use it". I guess it refers to ConfigFree...?

    It should not be a ConfigFree. According to you, an Intel ProSet utility or a Client Atheros wireless network adapter might be controls the Wlan configuration!

    Please check if one of the two control the WiFi network tools and turn off!

    > where can I enter keys for WEP encryption for my friends in ConfigFree WLAN routers

    You should have three different tabs in the utility Configfree.
    The second device settings provides the list of devices, and you should see the wireless network connection.
    Choose and use the button network connections.
    There you should find some encryption settings!

    Also check the profile settings tab and the option called security settings

  • Satellite Pro M70-220 - how to start the Advanced Boot Menu

    Which key have to press on my Satellite Pro M70 - 220 starting Win XP, in order to enter the "Advanced Start Menu" - in other words, the menu that gives various boot options, such as safe, last good start Congiguration, start Windows Normal Mode, etc. ?

    On my old laptop Satellite 5105 - S702, it was the F8 key, but by pressing the F8 key on my M70 Pro does not bring up the 'Start Advanced Menu".

    The Advanced Start Menu came on its own a few days previously after an abnormal stop, so it seems that it does not exist on the M70 Pro.

    Thanks for any advice anyone has to offer.

    AlanCB

    Hello

    The Advanced Boot Menu can be reached by pressing the F8 key.
    It s a Windows menu basic and it s any laptop it is.
    It should work on all computers.

    Maybe you can not activate the Start Menu advanced because the Windows operating system is confused upward.

  • Satellite Pro L20: battery not charge when the power adapter is connected

    Hello

    all advice appreciated.

    I had a Satellite Pro L20 for about 18 months. Recently, battery does not charge when the power adapter is connected. The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile. However the ACPI often said that AC is "offline."

    There are two recent occurrences that coincide with this problem, I try to eliminate:

    1. my friends rat chewed by the feeder for pets! Power is Mobile OK insofar as he fled sector - the rat seems to have simply chewed by the outer cover (I see some threads, but I think that is just a shield, although I'm not an electrician).

    2. I put the laptop in hibernation for the first time. That seemed to mess up the system a bit, which was what initially drew my attention to the problem. This question is a bit complicated because I'm under Linux (Xubuntu).

    I updated the drivers etc from windows when I bought the laptop. Never had any problems until now and have been running linux for centuries. Also, I have mainly the laptop the power supply turned off, but do not remove the battery (is that really a problem these days?)

    I obviously need to replace the adapter, but is - it is likely (and how I can check) that the battery was borked until?

    see you soon
    Chris

    First, please check if the other are lit.
    If the AC led and power led are on the adapter sector is ok and it provides the power to the laptop.

    > The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile
    If the battery LED is yellow, this means that the battery is not fully charged and if the Green led changes then recharging is caught and the battery has been recharged.

    So I really don t see any problems with the charge process.

    Maybe the battery is old and so you cannot use it for an extended in such a case only the replacement of the battery could help.

    Hello

    I guess that's not happed running the laptop on battery only. Right?

    I think that this issue is released to a grounding problem.
    I read different forums on this kind of question it.
    Usually use the 3 cord power cable should help get rid you of this noise.

    In your case I would recommend asking for cord 3 power cable (maybe you need another adapter that supports the 3-wire power cord) to a Toshiba authorized maintainer.

  • Satellite Pro M30 graphics works not when the driver is installed

    Hi all

    I m having problems with my nvidia Geforce FX Go5200, in a portable Satellite Pro M30, (processor Intel Pentium M 1.7 GHz, 512 MB Ram). This card was working fine suddenly the laptop stops.

    I formatted the laptop and installed Win XP PRO. After installing the driver VGA, I restarted the laptop, but black screen started to come right after the Win XP splash screen appears. The laptop continues to start up but no screen.

    It starts fine in safe mode. I get my best screen simply by disabling the geforce card or uninstall the driver. I tried to install a new driver for the VGA on the download from Toshiba site, but same problem appears. I also tried the BIOS update but nothing happens.

    Can someone help me?
    [email protected]

    It's very strange question. It will be really interesting to know if this happens when you use the CD delivered recovery facilities.

    In any case, I assume that there is a problem with the LCD display. In safe mode, the desktop appears in the resolution decreases but the resolution to the OS boot will be suitable for a standard (1280 x 800), and of course, there is the problem.

    I am not a technician, but I recommend you contact the Service partner. AFAIK they use special tools and programs for display tests. They can tell you more.

  • Satellite Pro L10: CMOS clock stops when the OS is not running

    Hello

    We know a reason why the cmos clock would stop when the operating system does not (phone off), the laptop is 18 months old, I've updated the bios tries to give him a good boost, but no effect, he was also in charge for 24 hours.
    Any advice would be great.

    See you soon
    Paul

    Hello

    Usually if the BIOS date/time is wrong and always changes, the RTC battery which is mounted on the motherboard fails.
    In this case the CMOS battery needs to be changed or maybe only removed for awhile

    If your laptop is 18 months, the guarantee must be valid.
    Generally if you have registered on the page of Toshiba notebook the warranty covers all repairs for about 2 years (24 months).

    In this case, I would recommend contacting ASP in your country, because the technician must be able to solve this problem very easily.

    If you have an Intel graphics card, then I recommend to check OpenGL settings in the properties of the graphics card.
    In addition, you can try to start the dxdiag and you will find detailed information. There you should find the AGP texture acceleration option.

  • Is satellite Pro M70-235 - possible to upgrade the processor?

    Hello

    Is it possible to upgrade of processor in this laptop (Pentium M 750-1866 MHz) Pentium M 780 2266 MHz?

    Thank you..

    Hello

    Theoretically, it of possible to exchange the processor on your laptop, but nobody will be able to tell if the laptop works fine with the new processor or not.

    You mustn't forget that the BIOS and motherboard is designed for the preinstalled CPU and it s not tested with another processor. Normally a newer or faster CPU produces more heat and I don t know if the Assembly of cooling on your laptop is sufficient for this.

    If you still have the warranty of your laptop you will lose because Toshiba doesn't support the CPU upgrade:
