• Satellite Pro M70 - screen is blank

  Hey guys,.

  Have had my Satellite Pro M70 for more than a year now and never gave me any problems before. On about 3 times now, the screen disappeared all of a sudden completely gray and white and stays that way, unless I restart and is so very well.

  Appears to be spontaneous, can't everyday and not even aware if his reason leaving for a long time.

  Ive noticed that more than half of the screen flashes from time to time but don't know if it's because it's on during a long period or heat related but only started to do this recently.

  It just seems to be a problem with the monitor, like running programs under were unaffected (IE if I was running MSN messenger and the screen went gray, I could still type messages, etc just not see them!).

  Have the latest graphics driver for my Intel knowledge: 6.14.10.4363, don't know if it could be a problem with the card? Hepatitis a lot of free hard disk space, seeking to increase the ram (currently 512) suggestions?

  Hello

  I am very happy that I don't have these problems on my Satellite M70. I recommend you test your laptop connected to an external display to see if the symptoms are the same. If so, I fear that there is a problem with the graphics card.

  On the RAM, can I just say that your laptop can handle with max 2 GB RAM and compatible RAM modules are:
  512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
  1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G)

  Good bye

• HDD upgrade for Satellite Pro M70

  Is anyone know the upgrades available to change the standard 60GB hard drive in the Satellite Pro M70 (PSM76E-00100KEN) with something bigger.

  The Toshiba Options site shows only optionally available external hard drives, but noticed that the newer models of the same family have between 80 and 100 GB discs, so I asked if any of these would correspond, for example:

  PSM75E-00P004EN uses a 100 GB drive
  PSM76E-00500KEN uses a 80 GB drive

  You can also all drives available from other sources that might be suitable - what spec should I look, speed, installation size, connections etc. and BIOS compatibility

  All the info appreciated, surprising how fast the disk fills up, and I would like to keep in-house, although I also use an external drive of 250 GB for home storage and backups etc.

  Thank you
  Steve

  Hello

  The Satellite Pro M70 series is great, but I think that every m70 must support a HARD drive with serial - ATA interface.
  Some units have been delivered with a 80 GB HARD drive. In my view, that a 100 GB HARD drive should also work.

  I found a few properties of the HARD drive:
  Rotating disk: 5400 RPM
  Buffer size: 8 MB
  Number of discs: 2
  Number of Heads: 4

• 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.

  Concerning
  Lars

  Hello

  BIOS update is necessary? Or what is the intention to update the BIOS?
  Usually if you have some serious problems, the BIOS isn't essential update

  With regard to the sound:
  You can solve the problem in Windows XP, install the KB888111 and KB835221 hotfix before you install the audio driver.

• Satellite Pro M70 - stopped screen lights

  Hello

  My Toshiba Satellite PRO M70 screen lights.
  I don't know why, but sometimes when the screen is broken and I put it up it turns on, but after a few seconds it stops.

  It started a few days without something strange in my pc like hitting or something like that.
  I tried to connect an external display and it works weell.

  Anyone know why it cant pass or how fix it?

  Thank you

  Greetings

  Toni.

  Hello

  The Fn keys work?
  You can increase the display button narrowly by using the FN + F7 combination?

  Please also check the energy saving profile.
  Maybe the display brightness is set to a lower value in the power saver profile.

  But if you will not find anything unusual in the settings of the software, so I guess that the brightness display problem is related to the failure of inverter FL.
  The FL inverter controls the brightness of the screen, and this part needs to be replaced.

• Use SDHC with Satellite Pro M70

  Hello!
  My question is about the Satellite Pro M70 (PSM76) SD card reader. Can I use SD card 4 GB or more (SDHC)?

  All what I can say is: you can try to use it and I hope to be recognized correctly. I have Satellite M70, but I do not use SD cards and unfortunately can not test it on my laptop.

  Just test it. To be honest, I'm a bit skeptical about it.

• For Satellite Pro M70-220 laptop cooling pad

  I want to buy a block of cooling for my laptop Satellite Pro M70-220 (PSM75E) and would appreciate advice and recommendations on the most appropriate cooling pad. Plateau broken down to use the desktop, rather that the tower would use.

  The dimensions of the base of the laptop are about 34.5 cm (W) x 24 cm (P) - (or 13.5 ins (W) x 9.5 ins (D)).

  The laptop has 2 vents in fan - a vent is located on the left side (half back) of the laptop, and other the vent is located on the left side of the base in line with the side wind. Subject to correction, I feel that the cold air is sucked through the vent base and is blown through the vent on the left side. If that is correct, then I guess the cooling pad fan would blow air on the basis of the laptop, thus completing the airflow of the computer laptop cooling fan.

  Thank you

  Alan CB

  Hi Alan

  Before starting to discuss cooling pad, I want to ask you why you need. I have Satellite M70-159 and have never even think to buy this extra part.

  Have you ever watched on the net and found something that may be good enough for you?

• Satellite Pro M70 - USB port does not recognize the device

  My Satellite Pro M70 has three USB slots, one on the left and two (vertically one above the other) at the back of the laptop.

  The top slot to USB in the back started giving problems. Sometimes, my computer can't see all that I plugged in there. But if I unplug anything - usually the printer or the mouse - the computer will usually see it then.

  What is the problem? Can do nothing about it?

  My operating system is XP. and my laptop is 4.33 year.

  Thank you.

  Hi Mannix,

  Have you already updated the chipset drivers?

  I read in the forum about these questions and normally helps to reinstall the chipset driver. :)

• Anyone using Win2k on a Satellite Pro M70 or drivers will be used?

  Hello
  I just bought an M70. Needless to say that it comes with Windows XP.

  The software that I use on my project specifically requires Win2k and a 1 GB of RAM.

  I would like to know if
  1. anyone who has tried to install Win2k on M70 and if so, of the problems they might have faced.
  2. I'm looking desperately for the M70 Win2K drivers. Can someone help me with where I can find them?

  Finally, if M70 is not the right book for me, anyone knows another piece which has 1 GB RAM / 100GB HDD combination and supports Win2k as a BONE.

  Appreciate the answers of all the experts.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Well, the fact is that this laptop only comes with the WinXP.
  I also checked the Toshiba site and there is no drivers for W2k.
  If you also use the W2k on your laptop, you can try to install it on the second partition and use it as a dual OS notebook. But you will not be able to use special Toshiba and utility tools.

  There are many models of Satellite Pro M70, but generally, it should be possible to upgrade the memory for max 2024 MB. In this case there is no problem with the upgrade.

• 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.

• 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

• 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.
