Single shot crashes my Satellite R850-169
Hello!
I wonder if someone could help.
Recently, a single shot would break my Toshiba Satellite R850-169 15.6 inches (Intel Core processor i5 - 2410M, 2.3 GHz, RAM 6 GB, 640 GB HARD drive, Bluetooth and Windows7 Home Premium) laptop.
Purchased in June 2011, so he's coming up to three years.
Worked fine until about 4 months ago.
In the past, when I hit the office/computer, I get an error message saying:
"Vibration was detected. The head of hard drive is temporarily moved to a secure partition"or something like that.
Now this message rarely turns on and the computer just hangs.
And I have the Windows 7 Blue crash dump screen/message.
The computer has so far managed to launch again... but I suspect one day soon, it may fail to do so!
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?
Is it likely to be a hardware problem? As a wiring loose maybe?
Or maybe it's a software problem?
Thank you very much.
> Now this message rarely turns on and the computer just hangs.
The message usually appears in the case where some shocks have affected the functionality of the HARD drive.
In this case, the HARD drive protection sensor stops the HARD drive and moves the head position.
I guess that your HARD drive is not working properly.
It could be possible that the HARD disk failure causes the system crashes and I guess that the replacement HARD drive would solve your problems of laptop.
Recommend to replace the HARD drive and recover the computer laptop back to factory settings.

Satellite M60-169: BSOD appears after upgrade RAM to 1.5 GB
Hello
Satellite M60-169 got 1 GB DDR2 Samsung 533 MHz RAM-Modules (2x512MB).
Now, I have installed a new 1 GB DDR2 Samsung 533 MHz RAM-Module (1x1024MB + orig. 1x512mo = 1, 5 GB memory)The problem is: the system reboots before you start Windows XP or Windows Vista.
Reinstaling 2x512MB Modules: everything works fine.
Reinstall the new 1 GB Module: blue screen and reboot. :(I tested the memory modules with memtest86 Boot-CD and all DD2-Modules work and produce no errors.
Why the new RAM is not compatible with the laptop?The specifications of the new 1024 MB of RAM is: Samsung 1 GB 2Rx8 PC2-4200-444-12-E3 M470T2953CZ3-CD5 double sided
The specifications of the orig. 512 MB of RAM is: double-Samsung 512 MB 2Rx16 PC2-4200-444-12-A3-M470T6554CZ3-CD5Very strange! The RAM is like the original equipped with RAM.
Is this a BIOS problem?
If I don't just install a single module of 512 MB, the system starts without any problem. Even if I install only a single modulue of the new 1 GB of RAM, the system does not boot to Windows.There may be a BIOS Solution for this problem in the future?, now more installed new BIOS (1.60).

Hello
I don t think the BIOS problem.
In my opinion, there is a problem with the RAM modules.
The new module of memory is default or it s just not compatible.Perhaps the mix of RAM is the reason for BSOD interruptions.
Have you tried to use only the new 1 GB module?
Check it out.I have additional checked the Web from Toshiba site Options & accessories and according to the news, you must use this memory module 1 GB:
1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G) -
Satellite R850-18W: replacement of the device map LAN with Intel centrino 6235
Dear members of the Toshiba forum.
First of all excuse me for my bad English because my native language is Dutch.I recently bought my third Toshiba laptop Satellite A R850-18W.
I already bought an original adapter replacement for the card Atheros AR9002WB wlan.
Change the adapter in the notebook is easy, I've done it before.The only problem is, I couldn't get the bluetooth works so I put the original Atheros card in my Satellite R850. Everything is working, wifi and bluetooth.
But I want to buy a router with the possibility of 5 GHz band and take advantage of the speed less sang band of 5 GHz. That's why I bought the Intel centrino card 6235.
I need help in how to get everything working as it should.
Should what software I uninstall to avoid problems.
Do I need to uninstall the drivers for the Atheros card first?I think and I hope that it should be possible to make such a minor change in the configuration of this laptop?
I guess that it is not an easy way, while Toshiba has also laptops were they use the Intel centrino advanced-N card 6235. I was hoping some sort on a driver easy software installation and connection of Toshiba software.
Hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks in advance.Hello
Not very good if you will be able to use this Intel Centrino WLan card.
There is a similar threads on the Intel Centrino Advanced 6230 n and the other user was unable to activate this card
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65338That's why I recommend talking to your dealer if it s possible to return this kind of wireless network card if there is a compatibility issue.

Satellite R850 uses only 25% of the CPU
Hey, my toshiba satellite R850 uses 25% of the CPU, I got 8 GB of ram, and most of the higher quality games have 20-30 FPS, is there a possibility to make it higher?
Thanks for the help!
How do you get this value or how do you know that only 25% of the CPU performance can be used?
Have you noticed this behavior of the laptop is running on battery or power?
Usually, you can change the max and min of CPU performance values in Windows power management. This allows you to decrease the CPU heat dissipation and to increase the working time of battery.
In contrast to Intel CPU support between that the enhanced SpeedStep Technology puts both voltage and frequency in tandem up and down level to processor support.
Simply said: the CPU runs with only if more high performance s necessary!I think the game frame per second question is more related to the graphics card than the CPU.
Not quite sure this graphic card your laptop stand, but in case you want to have big game performance, the laptop should be equipped with a GPU external nVidia or ATI. -
Satellite R850 - faulty battery indicator? How to calibrate?
My Satellite R850 stops at about 70% of the battery capacity. It is not suspended, just power off. Market is possible only when the AC adapter is reconnected. My first guess is that (after only a year of daily use), the battery had its best time and must be replaced.
But why the battery indicator only shows the right capacity, so I can get a warning to low battery power?
Is there a tool or method for recalibrating the battery?Hello
To me, that shows that your battery is defective.
Usually sooner or later each battery needs to be replaced because the battery life is limited.
I have no idea how old your battery is but in my case the battery is 5 years old and he hold the power for about 2 min only. But the funny thing is that the battery indicator indicates battery is fully charged (100%).However, you can extend the lifetime of battery a little bit. You need to calibrate the battery from time to time in charge and discharge of battery. This procedure should be repeated several times is the row
But I guess these calibrations and your battery failure doesn't help much. -

Fitness by using disk recovery on Satellite M70-169
Hello

According to me, I have messed around a bit with software such as cleaners of register etc. and want to make a new start.
Exactly how, step by step, using the recovery disk came with the laptop?
It will reinstall all that originally shipped with the laptop?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello Pesche
Instructions how to install Os using supplied recovery media, you can find under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2513&tstart=15
I recommend to use the Expert installation mode and create a clean partition. When the computer starts for the first time you will be able to see the C partition only. The D partition must be created also in the OS, but is really not a problem.
Exact explanation which you will find under:

Re: Satellite R850-12R PT52CE Win7 sees no SSD drive
I have laptop Toshiba Satellite R850 - 12R PT52CE and recently bought Adata SP900 256 GB SSD drive.
BIOS can see this disc, but after I tried to install Windows 7 64-bit SP1, at the stage where I need to select the location to install it, it showed nothing.
So I can not select anything.What is a problem?
I tried to search for drivers for Windows 7 AHCI, but found that for XP.
In the BIOS, I tried to put AHCI also Compatible mode, but were also unsuccessful.Would be nice if someone could share the solution.
Hello
AHCI driver is not necessary for Win 7, since this win 7 already contains this driver.
What you can do is to add the Intel Rapid storage technology driver that is available on the European driver Toshiba page. -

Where can I find a driver for Satellite A80 169 VISTA?
Hi all
I just installed Vista, but my sound doesn't work, because I do not have a driver for this.
Where can I find it? On the Toshiba download page, there was nothing...
My laptop is the Satellite A80-169.Thank you in advance,
Anders
Hello
Alternatively, you can get the drivers by visiting * www.realtek.com * and research his "Realtek ALC250' Vista drivers for the card. (It s the soundchip that is installed on your system)
So, your sound should work perfectly with the authentic realtek drivers.

Why not?!
You to do what you want, you can also install Win 7.But you will not find the drivers for Windows 7 on Toshiba European page for this series and, therefore, you have to look on some pages of party 3rd compatible drivers!

It is not recognized on Toshiba Satellite M70-169 Web site
Hello
I have a laptop TOSHIBA SATELLITE M70-169
I wanted to update my drivers, so I logged on the TOSHIBA site.
The problem is that my phone is not listed on the site, there are * M70-168 * and * M70-170 * but not * M70 - 169 *.
I tried the recognition by serial number, result: DO NOT RECOGNISEDI tested the autodetection, and here too, the result was: DO NOT RECOGNISED.
I am surprised that my laptop is not recognized on the official website of TOSHIBA, while I had bought in a store.Can someone tell me if he had the same problem and give me directions to upgrade my laptop?
Thank you
Satellite M70 is old enough laptop model, and I can imagine that auto detection tool doesn't properly work. Your laptop is the model European and part PSM70E number (very important for research).
In any case, you can find all the drivers or updates manually. Follow these steps:Visit the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
Click tracking options:
Type of product - ARCHIVE

Satellite M70-169: screen freezes and meshes + mouse freezes
Hello
Hope you can help. So far, I'm impressed by my toshiba satellite m70-169.He has recently developed an intermittent fault: when the tilt of the screen the effect of light mesh on it and the screen freezes. The mouse also hangs at this point.
If I tilt the screen one way or the other I can get it to work properly. A slighy inclination of the screen can cause the screen to freeze again. The problem is getting worse, however.
The machine has never been dropped or struck, but was taken by one of the screen when it is open.
I disassembled the strainer and push gently on various points and cables but nothing in this area suggests a loose connection or a weak point. So I believe the problem is in the essence. I tried to open this up but it fails because I didn't force anything.
Question 1: any suggestions on the problem and possible solutions?
Question 2: advice like how to open the main part, so I can check any loose cables, connectors or broken bones?
Question 3: patterns for disassembly?Even once - I hope you can help - thanks in advance...
John
Hi John
The above user is right. It s too risky to disassemble the laptop without having any experience with laptops.
It is why I always recommend taking to a technician.But if you want, you can have a look here:

But once again; You can do everything BUT only at your own risk! ;) -

Cannot re - install Power Saver on Satellite M70-169
My laptop (Toshiba Satellite M70-169) will not properly charge my laptop battery. It will begin at the start of charging the battery, but then after awhile it stops when the battery is partially charged. I replaced the battery, but this has not solved the problem.
To try to solve this problem, I tried to reinstall the BIOS, the Power Saver Driver then Power Save in that order.
The first 2 steps seem to work; However after that I removed the power saving mode, I was unable to reinstall it from the version downloaded from the Web site. I extracted the installation in a folder on my c: drive, but when I tried to run setup.exe, nothing happened.
Any ideas?
Have you replaced new battery or the second battery is already being used?
I have too many Satellite M70 and I think that this question is not related with software pre-installed. As much as I know Toshiba power Saver saver allows users to optimize the performance of the laptop or reduce energy consumption if the laptop is running on battery only. I put really think software preinstalled has something to with charger procedure and some influence on this.
The fact is that each computer Toshiba laptop can work without Toshiba power saver utility on the same path using power options Windows XP Home/Vista edition. Because of this, I think that the battery must be replaced.
What about the installation of standby power? According to the document of instructions for Installations you should install TOSHIBA Power Saver V1.36.0.1C only. try to delete the driver GST if you can find it under pre-installed software and install TOSHIBA Power Saver V1.36.0.1C only.
