Need latest graphic card drivers for Satellite Pro M70

I've had this PC for only a few months now and i've been disappointed to have heard that my drivers are WAY out of date. The only drivers i can find are on here and they are only v.8 something (although the game reads this as an older version).
The problem comes in when i want to play games like Half Life 2 and CSS, the game crashes because these drivers are out of date. Where can i get the LATEST drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon x700 card for the Toshiba Pro M70?

Hi Stephanus
First of all you must not be disappointed about that because you must understand few things. Because of notebook construction it is not recommended to force graphic card to run at the limit. Using latest drivers you do exact something like that. More performance means more warmness and I hope yo know very well what happen when notebook is too hot.
I am not 100% sure but I presume that Toshiba priority is to provide hardware protection. I saw that some other notebook manufacturers offer latest drivers but there is also notice that they are not responsible if something goes wrong.
One more thing: you have mobile computer and not desktop.

Need new graphic card for my Satellite Pro P100

Hi
My Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 has no display from screen or external monitor it has a seperate Nvidia Geforce go 7600 graphics Card.
Can any body tell me were I can get a replacement card?
Thanks

How you know your notebook has separate graphic card?
Have you had success to remove it from the mainborad?
Sorry about these questions but Im a little bit confused. As far as I know graphic card is part of mainborad and cannot be replaced separately.

> it says Toshiba modified it and I can't find the driver anywhere
Thats right. Toshiba offers modified and tested drivers only. Due to specific design and cooling system Toshiba must take care about hardware protection, especially about overheating.
This is the reason why offered display driver is modified and dont allow GPU to run on highest level that can be reason for hardware damage.
If you are not satisfied with notebooks performance you should try to upgrade RAM to maximum level.

How to upgrade Intel graphic/CPU on Satellite Pro M70

Ok, here we go with my first posting. I have bought a Satellite Pro M70, about a year ago. It has a graphics chip (intel gtl 950?!), i just would like to know, if it is possible to install a graphics card, like ati or nvidia's.
By the way, is it possible to upgrade the cpu? and how about warranty if upgrading and installing all that stuff?

Here I go with my first answer to you ;)
No, its not possible. The notebook technology is different as the desktop PCs and therefore you will be not able to upgrade the graphic card.

Satellite C50-A-1DV - Graphics card replacement

Hypothetically, If I wanted to replace the graphics card in my Satellite C50-A-1DV, how would I go about it?
And If i had to send my laptop in, how much would it cost?

At first I must say that GPU replacement or upgrade is officially not supported and any action in this direction is on your own risk.
Please note that notebook disassembling will cancel valid warranty.
But we are discussing hypotheticallyabout all this.
What you must do is to obtain new GPU, disassemble your notebook, exchange it and put your notebook together.
On some notebook models GPU is fixed on the mainboard and cannot be exchanged. I dont know how it is on your machine.
> And If i had to send my laptop in, how much would it cost?
If GPU is defective and warranty still valid best option for you is o contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. In case that you want to do upgrade, Toshiba service will not help you with this.
Can you please tell us what is the problem with your machine and original graphic card?

Buying original spare parts - DC Power Jack - Satellite Pro M70

Hi All,
The DC Power Jack on my Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 laptop has broken and my laptop is out of warrenty.....

Here's a picture of the part:

Thanks

Best address to order Toshiba parts is nearest Toshiba authorized service provider.
You can also order this part in some hardware online store in your country. I don't know where do you live and cannot say which store is best for you.
One interesting place to find new and used hardware parts is eBay. check eBay for your country and I am sure you will find DC power jack there, and if not you can find out which company offer such parts and try to order one for you.
Maybe you can also find defective motherborard for your notebook (defective graphic or something else) but be able to use this small part for you.
Check all these options and find out where you can get it for good price.

Satellite Pro M70 wont Power up when on AC

Hi
I bought my dad a Satellite Pro M70 for his birthday and he's been using it for about 3 months. Suddenly without any reason it won't power up if its not connected to the AC. The battery is registering as 100% charged.
When on AC everything is fine no issues.
But when its not plugged into the AC it won't power up. Once powered up however you can unplug the AC and it will all work fine again.
Any ideas?
Should I try a BIOS update? or does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks
Gogz

Hi
Does this problem appear from the beginning?
Sounds a little bit like an power supply electroninc malfunction and in such cases you should always ask the Toshiba service provider for an help.
Dont worry, it seems the warranty is valid and every procedure should be done for free.
But Im interesting if this will help you:
Please try to disable powerplay in the graphic card properties and don't set the CPU to a low speed in Toshiba Power Saver in fixed mode.
Check this option.

Integrated WLAN not detected on my Satellite Pro M70

Hi,
My M70 laptop recently crashed and I reinstalled using a windows xp disk. I'm now trying to install the missing drivers starting with the WLAN but it doesn't appear to even be detected. There is a "Network Controller" in device manager thats missing the driver so I was thinking that may be it. I've tried the first intel Pro driver from the website but it didnt make any difference.
What do I need to do?
Thanks

The Satellite Pro M70 PSM75E seems to be equipped with the Intel 11b/g WLan card.
The WLan driver could be found here on the Toshiba WLan portal:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
The LAN card chip seems to be from Realtek and the driver already exists on the Toshiba driver page.

Re: Satellite Pro M70 - High CPU Usage - Low Performance

I sincerely hope someone can help. I do not consider myself really computer illiterate, but this is where my understanding ends and I would truly value all help offered.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 of 2 yrs old and I am a definite advocate for Toshiba. However, my operating system is slow. Average day usage with Internet Explorer and Office 2007 is a painstaking process that takes too long. I have had conflicts with Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, which works perfectly.
But starting up the computer takes ages. CPU usage is usually high and System Idle Processes as well. I have reinstalled Windows XP from the Toshiba Boot DVD already 4 times with starting fresh and installing everything time and time again. Each time after getting everything up to speed again, the performance is disappointing.
I have extended RAM to 1,49 GB which made little difference from the original 1/3 of RAM. It seems that something is slowing down the computer, but this is not visable in the processes; other than quite a few svhost.exe processes that take little processing capacity nor CPU usage.
I have used Windows Gold Certified Uniblue Power Suite with a good registry cleaner. This helps a bit, but after a couple of days it seems to get only worse. I have an Intel Pentium M 1.73 GHz processor. Research online reveals that Trend Micro IS 2008 is quite good and demanding little capacity in comparison to competing security packages.
Is this system/software related or could this be a hardware issue?
Thanks in advance to all!

Hi!
This definitively not a hardware issue and I think should try to optimize some Windows settings to make your notebook faster.
At first you should clean the start up folder. Remove all programs that you dont need at start up. For example I dont have programs in the start up folder.
Furthermore you can customize the start up programs in msconfig (start => run => msconfig). There you can disable more programs that you dont need. Its your choice what do disable or enable.
You can improve the performance if you defragment your HDD from time time.
Remove all programs and trial software that you dont need and after this clean the registry. You can use CCleaner as Jimi said.
Try an other antivirus program. Maybe TrendMicro is not full compatible to the software that you use. I use AntiVir.
Bye

Satellite Pro M70-113: Not possible to write on CD-R and DVD-R

Hello,
I have a Toshiba satellite pro m70-113 laptop.
Reading Problems:
I am unable to read any cd-r. This is really strange as a couple of days earlier those CD-R were reading fine on my drive.
and when i click the cd drive in my computer an error dialog shows and says F: is not accessible/incorrect function. Here is a screenshot for the error..:
http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/9574/1bp3.jpg
And when I try to read my DVD-R, some times they read fine but sometimes it doesn't read it and the LED of the drive keeps lit when it doesn't read the dvd-r.
When it doesn't read the DVD-R, the following error comes: Screenshot here: http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/9674/2bc0.jpg
Writing Problems:
After getting the reading problems I tried to test my drive for writing.
And i found that I am unable to write on cd-r. I used alcohol, and Nero both but no success.
Though same content when burned on cd-rw its a success.
I am able to burn successfully on DVD+RW 4x media, with data amounting to almost 4.34GB for DVD5..
When I insert a DVD-R media the drive doesnt detect it as a blank media and the LED keps on lighting constantly and so nero at this state doesnt detect my dvd drive even! So i am not able to write to my DVD-R media..
In short: only write to RWs is possible for both, cd-r and dvd+RW, and no writing possible on CD-R and DVD-R.
Please help me.
It's only 7 months since I purchased this notebook and believe there can be no other person on this planet who takes care of the drive better than me!
Really, I have not used this drive much and never inserted scratched/degraded/local media, only moserbaer media.
Thank

Hi
Well, according to your description it sound like the drive cannot calibrate the lens and therefore its not possible to read or write these medias.
Usual its not possible to fix this and the drive replacement is needed.
You can also check the user manual. There you can find a list with all supported and compatible medias.
I have found also this topic in the forum:

Satellite Pro M70-273: Functionality of the Express Media Player feature

I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70-273 "Limited Edition" (?) two weeks ago. The model number is PSM76E-00J00QDU, model name SPM76, production date 2006-02-21. According to the specifications I found in the online user's manual or in a folder with publication references
"TEG October 2005, Art. N0. DSSSPM70 10/05NLBE", there is an "Express Media Feature" "on some selected models" ...
It is not clear if yes or no, the model I bought has it. I have a "CD/DVD Button" that I use to launch my built-in dvd player (e.g. WinDVD), but this does not work as specified as "a standalone disc drive" that plays a dvd (film) without needing to startup Windows.
To watch the dvd film, after using the CD/DVD button, I have to boot into Windows, login into Windows XP and when the desktop is started, the WinDVD screen will show the film.
This is not what I'm expecting from a standalone dvd player. My old notebook has a "dj function" with which one can play a cd without booting into Windows, (or powering up the notebook), just by pressing a special key on the front . How about the promised feature of the Toshiba Satellite Pro?
Is there an "Express Media Player" functionality at all? How can I check if the feature is provided? I used the setup provided, the first time I used my notebook. I don't wish to use the recovery cd rom provided unless it might be absolutely indispensable to install this missing feature.

With the laptop you should have received a restore/recovery disc. This contains utilities to either replace individual drivers and tools, plus a complete 'image' of the base build that your laptop has when it is built at the factory
Although I have never used this, it is supposed to completely wipe all data and setings from ythe laptop by first formatting the hard drive then reinstalling the operating system and applications back to factory settings. From comments elsewhere on this forum one of the few options you can have when you do this is to choose to partition the hard drive into 2 sections, one for the Express Media player, the other for the operating system etc. (as the Express Media operates without booting into the operating system).
The process is designed to be user friendly as it guides you through it, but as I said it does wipe EVERYTHING you have on the laptop currently, which is why I never bothered after I realised it wasn't installed. By the sounds of it though it won't be too much hassle for you to do that as you have data/settings you can easily transfer afterwards (Win XP has a tool to help with this)
The Gigastore hub I have found very good, and likewise the Gigastore hard drive, although others have posted here about their laptops not 'seeing' the hard drive in certain conditions

How does having 2 Graphics Cards in a Mac pro help if it doesnt have something like Crossfire??

Hi,
I am thinking of buying a Mac pro for visual effects & graphics work.
My question is quite simple, what are the benifits of having to graphic cards in a Mac Pro,
For instance, i am thinking of putting in a Quadro 4000 with a 5870 in my mac pro.
now is it possible for me to set say the ATI 5870 for powering my display and my Quadro 4000 for graphic processing tasks such as rendering stuff, and so on and so forth.
Any thouights will be great.
Cheers.
Ani

You need to find a way to add 3rd aux power connector.
Mac Pro only comes with a mere 2 6-pin connectors, not a lot of power.
Apple has had multiple problems with Nvidia drivers, with support, with say using two 4000s together, which sounds nice and makes more sense (and especially if one wants to run Windows at all where mixing ATI and Nvidia use to be against all the rules, now it seems like it is an Apple issue).
Yes, there can be processing improvements, Adobe Mercury Engine for one, CUDA still has advantage over ATI-Apple OpenCL.
