DVD's playing worldwide on a Satellite M70

I have a Satellite M70. I bought new last Oct.06. I took new and used it in South America. I was surprised that on my return to the UK...I can't play UK DVD's? And it seems I can't switch zones. I wish my computer had warned me it was only going to play in South America...Forever!
I was told to get around this problem...download a VLC Media Player...but I can't make that play the DVD's.
Has anyone got an idea how I can play ALL my DVD's?
My e-mail is [email protected]

Hi,

Didnt help you anything from the other users or do you just wont read your old thread??
And what is really weird: Where did youve been exactly?
Please give some feedback..

Transferring old videos to DVD with Satellite M70

Is it feasible to connect a video recorder to a Satellite M70 in order to transfer video tape recordings to DVD? If it is, what cable do I need?

Hi there,
since your notebook is only equipped with an TV-OUT, you cannot just connect a video recorder to your machine, because to do this you will need an Video-IN.
The only chance you have is to purchase a external video grabber for PCMCIA or USB.
With such Video Grabber youre able to receive external video signals and to record/edit them.
Heres a link which shows you an example what I mean:

Satellite M70 replacement DVD drive advice needed

Hi
The Mat****a US-841s DVD drive in my M70 has expired.
I would like to replace it with a Sony Optiarc, but I notice it says operating system Vista and I've got XP Home.
I have spent hours researching this and I can't find a drive that's compatible, can anyone tell me if the Sony is ok or recommend a suitable alternative?
I don't want to fork out money and then have lots issues I just want it to work straight out of the box although minor fiddling isn't a problem..
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hey Andy,
I dont know if the other drive that you mean will working in your Satellite M70 but I would recommend checking the user manual of your notebook. There you can find a list of compatible drives they are pretested. You should find this information on the first pages I think.
Check this!!!
The point is that not all drives are compatible with all notebooks so you should buy a pretested drive.

Ati2dvag issue on Satellite M70 - blue screen error

Hello im hoping some one can help me with these problems that i have. Well from one day to start my computer I no longer start it in normal, and have to use safe mode, the computer changes the display on its own and it goes down to 16 bit colours,when i restart my computer hanging unless I boot it as safe mode and then other times i get the black screen saying that i can choose form safe mode etc. When i load up form safe mode it starts straight away and then i restart to go back into normal mode it hanging at black screen, but if i dont go into safe mode it takes ages to boot up.The blue screen that comes up says the following......
The device driver got stuck in a infinate loop. This usually indicates problems with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.
Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates.
STOP:0x000000EA (0x86605C38,0x866563B0,0xF7CA2CB4,0x00000001)

Beginning dump of physical memory.
Physical memory dump complete.
My laptop is Satellite M70, XP Home SP2. Video card is ATI X700.
I tried uninstalling Display driver, no help. I even tried formating HDD and reinstalled XP home with recovery by recovery DVD, even worse, I cannot even finish recovery process, it is always hanging when Start Windows, then same blue screen... Plus as soon as load windows xp, the display has very low resolution with many vertical lines evenly spread on screen...

Unfortunately, I think you have to return your notebook to the service point.
> The device driver got stuck in a infinite loop
For me it sounds like a corrupt graphic card.
I think there is no much to do and you have to ask for the technician help.

Satellite M70-340: Question about warranty if I buy in Russia and move to Australia

I'd like to buy notebook Satellite M70-340 here in Russia. Next month I'm going to move to Australia. What about the warranty in this case?
Will I have to pay if some trouble occurs?
How can I recognise a laptop which is officially sold (= i mean legally delivered and has a worldwide warranty)?
Thanx a lot for your answer!

Hi
I dont know what you mean with officially sold and I hope you will buy notebook in PC store and not on the street. As far as I know every new notebook has one year international warranty but if you will stay longer you can buy warranty extension. It must be buying by authorized service partner in your country.
If you have troubles in Australia go to service partner and they will check if the unit is stolen or official soled. After that it can be repaired. As I said, contact Authorized Toshiba service partner in Russia and ask for warranty extension.

Satellite M70 - Can't install from recovery disk

Hi,
I had to remove the HDD from Toshiba Satellite M70 to use it on my Compaq laptop (Compaq HDD crashed). I had to install XP and other stuff after creating 2 partions and used it with Compaq Laptop without any problem. Now I got a new HDD for compaq and fixed the Toshiba HDD back in.
Using the recovery CD I wanted to restore the Toshiba to its original state.
I have the Product recovery DVD-rom. F12 abd selecting cd/dvd would not do the recovery.
Error loading operating system is the message I get.
I can even install with my other original XP pro cd.
Once I put the HDD back to Compaq its working fine, I can even install XP.
What is the cause. Is it has to do anything with MBR?
I am very familiar with computers so please give me a way out of this!
Thank you all,
Regards,

Hi
In my opinion the case is clear. If you can install the notebook with a normal Microsoft installation disk and the HDD works properly in another computer its something wrong with the Toshiba recovery disk, maybe its scratched.
What you can do is to install the notebook using the Microsoft disk. Then download and install all drivers from the Toshiba website.
Alternative you order a new recovery disk from an authorized service provider.
Its your choice what you do. ;)

Re: Satellite M70-168 : new HD and OEM license

Hi,
My Satellite is out of garantee .....
Original HD (80 gb) has broken, and it's impossible to find the same HD.
I will replace by a HGST Travelstar 5K750 HTS547575A9E384 - HD - 750 Go - SATA-300 .
1 - I think that Sata 2 (sata 300) is compatible, but works at only at speed of sata 1 (sata 150) . Is it a problem ?
2 - Can I restore the OS on this HD with the DVD created on the first run, does the OEM license permit this job, or block the restore ?
Sorry for my poor language ... Frenchie is Frenchie ....
Great thanks .

As new notebook your M70 was delivered with preinstalled WXP and recovery DVD in the package. This recovery DVD was created for this model and you can use it without any limitation so often you want. You can even exchange HDD and use this recovery disc for recovery image installation.
If you dont like it you can use Microsoft installation disc for OS installation. There is also not any kind of limitation. Only problem is OS activation. Product key at the bottom cannot be used for OS activation if you use Microsoft disc.
With other words you can do whatever you want and only problem can be if you want to use recovery disc created for other notebook model. For instance you try to use recovery disc for Tecra A10 on your Satellite M70. In this case information from mainboard and info saved on recovery DVD will be compared. If the information is not the same you will not be able to install this recovery image.
Question is: when you exchange HDD what do you want to do exactly?

You should be able to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using the Toshiba recovery DVD. See the section Restoring the preinstalled software on p. 3-11 of the User's Manual (attached).
If the new disc has advanced-format technology, you may have difficulty. Try to get one without it.

Satellite M70 - Black screen after recovery installation

So far what I have done is put in the Product Recovery DVD-ROM. Then when restarting my computer I was prompted to restore my computer to the factory defaults and said. After it went through that process it told me to remove the disc so I did. Now all it does is reach a black screen after the Toshiba screen that gives me the options to f2 for setup and f12 for options.
I do not know what to do now to make my laptop work again. Please help.

Satellite M70 is old notebook model and I would like to know do you use recovery disc for the first time. I had Satellite M70-159 long time ago and have installed recovery image many times.
Which installations mode you have used: standard mode or expert mode?
Try to install it again.
As Xardas wrote try to obtain Microsoft installation disc and check if everything works well.

Satellite M70 - Drastic drop in FPS while gaming

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite M70-148.
Link: [See here|http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=NL&BV_UseBVCook ie=yes&PRODUCT_ID=109803]
I have bought my laptop in febuari 2006. I've been playing the game America's Army v2.5 since that time.
Since 4-5 months I have been getting serious drops in FPS while gaming. I am talking about from 85 FPS (steady with the highest settings) to more frequently drops to 30-40 FPS and even more to 8-10-15 FPS (on the bare lowest settings).
At first I thought this could be fixed by increasing RAM memory, so i bought 2 sticks of 1 GB RAM. And this didn't work at all.
I've installed a fresh backup, with nothing but Windows XP (Home, legal of course with all updates) and the game and i'm still experiencing the drops in FPS.
What I seem to be hearing is the fan blowing harder when I get the FPS drop and sometimes it does the same when it goes back to 85 fps.
Because it has been able to run smoothly before I am inclined to think that this is some hardware malfunction that is causing this problem.
Is there any way I can replace/upgrade the hardware inside my computer?
Or can someone give me a suggestion as to where i should look to find the problem?
Thanks a LOT!

If you think you have a hardware problem with your notebook, I would go to a service partner from Toshiba.
You can search for a partner in your region on this website:

I hope this helps you...

The IMAC will play rented dvd movies. The dvd movie plays fine on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8) on the Pro's DVDPlayer (vers.5.4) abd in my external Sony DVD Player The dvd move was made/burned on a PC. Why will a dvd movie play on my Macbook Pro and not my IMAC?

Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

How do I use airplay to stream a DVD movie playing in my computer to display on my TV?

How do I use airplay to stream a DVD movie playing in my computer to display on my TV?
I have a 2nd generation Apple TV and computer is a 2011 Macbook Pro. Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7. Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3. Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB. Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). Storage: about 500GB free out of 750GB.
I have a DVD player within my computer. Trying to play a movie from my computer to display onto my TV using my Apple TV airplay. But the airplay icon is not showing or giving the option to play a movie onto my TV.
I've installed all software updates and still I'm not able to have this functionality.
I assume this functionality exists where I can play a DVD on my computer, but watch it on my TV using my Apple TV, correct?
Thanks for your help solving this puzzle.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.
AirPlay Mirroring from a Mac also requires a fairly robust network.
You may find a third party product that you can use instead of AirPlay.

What was changed in Bios 1.50 for Satellite M70 (PSM71)

Hi!
If possible, I need some info about new bios 1.50 for Satellite M70 (PSM71).
What's the "change log"?
Thank you very much!
Ciao!

Hi
Toshiba does not provide any official informations about BIOS updates on the European notebooks.
I found some info on the Toshiba US site but nothing about BIOS designed for the European laptops.
