PIN MODE Satellite M70-159 - Yours suggestions

Hello
In nearest time I would like to try PIN MODE ( force a FSB 133MHz on processor which works with 100MHz and constants FSB ratio = 17 ) in my notebook Toshiba.
I buy on auction processor Pentium M 1.7GHz / 2MB / 400Mhz .
Please don't tell me that the processor will be overheating I saw both datasheet (my present processor pentium M750 and pentium M735) and first emit 27W and second 21W .
I calculate that if I change FSB the emit of heat will be approximetly ewen Pentium M750.
Do You have any experience with this method of overclocking..?

Hi buddy
Internet websites provides many different advices, suggestions, stories, etc but I would not try everything...
Maybe other notebooks CPUs worked fine after such upgrade but to be honest I would not try this. for me the connection of any CPU pins is really risky and I would be afraid that this would damage my cpu, motherboard and other notebooks parts
A notebook over clocking is always risky due to a small cooling modules and not enough space for air circulation.
Last but not least I dont understand why you want to increase the FSB. Of course the notebooks FSB could provide a higher performance but this would be not really noticeable and in my opinion this risk it not worth a try.
Bye

  • Which USB port output power provides Satellite M70-159

    Hi!
    I have a Satellite M70-159 and I'm looking to buy an external HDD 2.5".
    I would like to know if the power provided from my notebook's USB port is 500mA or 1000mA because the external HDD I want to buy needs 1000mA to work.
    Eitherwise what can I do to provide to the external HDD the power needed to work?
    Thank you

    Hi
    In my knowledge the notebooks USB ports provides the standard power of 500mA.
    Generally if a external USB HDD needs more as 500mA then either the special, external power supply cable is delivered together with the 2.5 HDD or the HDD is delivered together with an double USB cable.
    By double USB cable I mean the cable which supports 2 USB jacks. In such case you can connect the HDD to two USB ports.

  • Satellite M70-159 OpenGL problems

    I have a M70-159 notebook with ATI MOBILITY X700/256MB and WinXP SP2. The system stops responding when I run OpenGL applications with a large number of triange meshes (more than 12800 triangles) stored in a display list and I have to hard-reboot. The same apps run fine in all my PCs (with nvidia cards).
    Any help is highly appreciated!

    Hi
    Did you play games on this unit?
    As far as I know the Toshiba graphic drivers are not exactly the same like original ATI drivers. The Toshiba drivers have a overheating protection and its a slim version of ati drivers. Well, I assume that this could be a reason for this issue but Im not 100% sure.
    You can try to install the original ATI graphic driver but you can do it at your own risk!!!
    No Toshiba drivers can lead to the overheating issues!!

  • Display issues on Satellite M70

    I am using Satellite M 70 notebook, purchased about more than one year back and really like it ( Pentium M70, 512MB Ram, 40 GB HD). So far it has been without major issues.
    The only problem now I face is that some times the screen for a second or a fraction of second. It happens randomly, once or twice in a day and the flutter is more prmonant in lower part of screen. Seems a minor issue but it irritates me as I think it is too early for a laptop to show such an issue and it might progress with time. What u thinks of it? Is it an issue with the graphics chip (it has Mobile Intel 915 GM), Motherboard or any other hardware? Does not seem to be a software issue to me.
    BTW I have seen such flutter in two other non Toshiba laptops with my friends but in their case it was more frequent and very prominent and all the screen will flutter and shake for a second/ or a fraction of a second, a very, very unpleasant feeling.
    My problem is that I can not even show it to a tech as I do not know how I can reproduce this flutter to show him, it happens randomly and infrequently.
    I will like to tell about two other minor issues with M70 as well:
    I have set in Power Settings, the screen to be turned off after 5 minutes and laptop to be standby after 10 minutes. When screen is turned off and laptop is still not gone into standby mode, the normal behavior for the screen is to become ON if u touch the Touch Pad (or move the mouse). I noted that sometimes, the screen will not become ON even on touching the mouse pad, it totally fails to do so. Obviously I can not access the windows to logoff/ reboot at that time as screen is OFF. Then I will just close the lid (that puts laptop in hibernation) and reopen to make it ON again, the screen will become ON this time. I do not do power reset to prevent my current data loss at that time.
    I have noted this issue from the very beginning after I purchased it. It happens rarely though (once/ twice in a month). Any one noticed such issue?
    Another issue that also happens infrequently (once in a month or so): Sometimes while working with laptop, all of a sudden laptops screen will become lemon green, light blue (not BSOD) or pearly white or some other color like that. Again obviously I can not access the windows to logoff/ reboot at that time so I will just close the lid (that puts laptop in hibernation) and then reopen the lid to make laptop ON again; the screen will usually become Ok this time. I avoid power reset here also to prevent my current data loss at that time.
    This issue has been there also since from the very beginning.
    All these observations make me think that there is some problem with my Toshiba from day 1, probably the graphics? What do u think and advice about it?
    Really I will be reluctant to buy a Toshiba next time due to these issues.

    Hello aiglehawk
    I have read your posting very carefully because I have Satellite M70-159 amost a year now and it is always very interesting to see what other M70 owners report about this notebook model.
    Unfortunately here in forum is not possible to give you any precise diagnostic but I just want to write my comment about your posting. Maybe sounds strange but I will start with your latest sentence:
    > Really I will be reluctant to buy a Toshiba next time due to these issues.
    In my opinion this sentence is absolutely superfluous and I am pretty sure you will write the same if you have had any other non-Toshiba notebook. I can understand you but you know very well that if BMW produce 100 cars it can always happen that 5 of them have some fault.
    Believe me my Satellite M70 is almost permanent on (day and night). I have get it from company where I work and I do not care about it at all. It runs and runs. I have tested all stuff you wrote in your posting and it works perfect. All power saver settings I have changed many times and I have never noticed something similar.
    Yes you are right about service. I believe that you can not reproduce this but I am sure that you know very well that technician have different diagnostic tools for hardware checking. Using those tools they can find out if some hardware component is defective or not.
    Because of that I recommend you to contact service. Let them check your notebook. Is the warranty still valid?
    At the end I will also say that I like my M70 and I am very happy to have it. But as next notebook I would like to have some monster notebook like Qosmio.
    Good luck my friend and please let me know about service results.

  • Re: Satellite M70 - Random hard shutdowns

    Every now and then, after the computer has been on for several hours (4-8), the computer will shutdown without warning.
    Looking at the LED lights, none are on. Pressing the Power button does nothing.
    After waiting a minute, taking out the AC-cable and putting it back in, the lights come on and things are working again for an hour or so, then it shuts down again. I'm running WinXP.

    I agree with Gipsyman. High hardware temperature can be reason for shutdowns without warning. Such shutdowns happen to avoid hardware damage. Satellite M70 is pretty old notebook usage and I can imagine your notebook should be cleaned up.
    I have Satellite M70-159 and I have disassembled it few months ago. You cannot imagine how many dust I found inside especially in front of cooling grill. Maybe you should do the same. I mean clean it up. About notebook disassembling think twice. I have enough experience with it stuff but if you don't please don't do this alone.

  • Satellite M70-173: spontaneous reboots

    I've got an M70-173 that reboots spontaneously. It's running XP Home SP3 and has all current updates applied.
    The reboots are more frequent at some times than others but the only clue I have as to the cause is that they seem to be most frequent when I have wireless networking turned on.
    I realise that that's lot a lot to go on, but has anyone any thoughts on what might be happening?
    TIA

    I have Satellite M70-159 almost two years now and it runs like on first day. No reboots and some strange issues. I still use SP2 and do not want to install SP3. After reading some comments here I do not want to have some problems with well running OS.
    What happen exactly? Does your notebook switch itself OFF and you must start it again or notebook reboots like after choosing restart option?
    Is there some message or something? Maybe some application that runs in background is responsible for that.
    If possible install your notebook with recovery image and check if the problem occurs again. Sorry but it is not possible to say for sure why this happen. We can just speculate here. Every of us has own OS configuration and use some favorite applications, freeware and shareware applications. Many of them are not so good and everything is possible.

  • 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 M70-190 - problem with USB

    Hi!
    After uninstall Windows XP and BIOS update, i have a problem with USB ports. My USB flash drive does't work. Windows find it as USB flash drive, but i can't find it in "My computer"
    So have anyone idea about this problem?
    PS External HDD works perfect, as USB mouse, and USB WiMax modem.
    Im hoping someone out there can help with this problem.

    Is described issue the same on all USB ports?
    I mean, I have Satellite M70-159 in front of me and since long time I use 8GB SanDisc and 2GB Toshiba USB stick and both devices are recognized properly.
    I still use original Toshiba WXP installation (updated of course).

  • Battery of Satellite M70-340 not charging

    I had a problem with a Toshiba Satellite M70 - 340 laptop harddisk, but everything else was working perfectly, and it was possible to run it on battery. So i sent it to a maintanance shop where they changed the hardisk and installed a new fresh copy of Windows XP. After i received it back i found that I'm not able to turn it on except when it is plugged to the electricity, and after a bit or looking around I discovered that the battery is not charging.
    In addition to that, when i first plug the laptop to the electricity while it is turned off, the battery yellow/orange LED turns on only for like 3 seconds. And while it is turned on, the LED is always off, and the battery icon on the tray states that the laptop is running on AC, and does not say that battery is charging, it keeps saying 1% remaining.
    I have also tried leaving it plugged to AC while it is turned off, hoping it might recharge, but i bite the dust.
    So what would cause the battery not to charge if between a day and another (and just by changing the HDD and installing a new copy of windows XP) the battery stopped working?
    And I was just wondering, does a BIOS update or a hardware driver fix this? I mean does a battery need some sort of driver or software to function?
    Thank you

    Hello Zaher
    I have Satellite M70-159 and described issue is not known to me. If you are 100% sure that this strange issue started after you get it back from the service I recommend you to talk with technicians again.
    Described behavior is not definitely normal. As far as I know BIOS update or drivers have no influence on it and for me it sounds as hardware malfunction.
    BTW: remove the battery, connect notebook to AC adaptor and start the notebook. When OS starts properly wait few minutes and put the battery into the notebook. Please post us what happen when you do this.

  • 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.

  • Blue Screen of Death and no XP CDs - Satellite M70

    Hi.
    I've got a Toshiba Satellite M70 that displays the Blue Screen of Death directly upon startup. It reads an error of 0x000000ED stating an unmountable error as the specific problem.
    Unfortunately, I've no Windows XP CD to restore my computer. I do have the Toshiba Product Recovery CD, but that seems like it will simply format my computer, and I have important data I absolutely do not want to delete from my hard drive.
    I cannot start in safe mode; Blue Screen of Death appears straightaway upon startup. If I try to get int through F8, Advanced Options appear but after selecting system restore it goes back to BSOD. I've also tried burning an ISO file for recovery, and the computer went into Windows Setup but hangs on "Setup is starting Windows".
    Any idea what the trouble could be? And how can I fix this problem without deleting any info on my computer?
    Thx.

    The best option would be to remove the HDD and connect it to another PC using a USB 2.5" HDD Adapter. The HDD will appear as another Drive letter (E: for example) and you will be able to copy your data. Then you put the HDD back in and run Recovery.
    If its simply a File System corruption problem, you could try running CHKDSK /F to fix it. You will need a retail version of the XP CD to do a CHKDSK from the Repair Console. Or you can create a Live Bootable XP CD which loads XP directly off a CD (Google BartPE) and run CHKDSK.
    Otherwise the HDD may have bad sectors. You can use the Advanced test in Hitachi DFT to check the surface. But you should back up your data first, the HDD could get worse if you stress it out.

  • Satellite M70: WLAN connection lost

    Hello!
    I have Satellite M70 and I use integrated Intel WLAN card 2200bg. I have the latest drivers downloaded from Toshiba web site and Asus WLAN router w520g with latest firmware. Connection signal is excellent but sometimes actually very often connection is lost for 5-10 seconds.... I am downloading files all the time so there is no idle time in network traffic.
    How can I inspect what is reason for losting connection?
    Could authentication method or channel mode be a reason for problems?

    Hi!
    I updated my driver(latest one from intel website) and problem still exists. But now with Intel Wireless utility I can see error messages when connection goes down. I also opened support case to Intel about this problem. Let's see what they suggest.
    I have also tested different kind of variations of configurations (power settings etc.) but no helps!
    Now I am testing WLAN connection without authentication and it seems to work ok without connection lost. I will test different kind of authentication methods because i really want to see what authentication causes problems.
    One thing I can say more. If I want to see connection break as soon as possible, I have to generete traffic with different kind of p2p programs and I also ping my router (default gateway) with command ping -t -l 1500 same time.

  • Satellite U300-159 - Bluescreen after Windows 7 installation

    Satellite U300-159. I made a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Since upgrading it has bluescreen at every startup after aprox 1 min. Bluescreen ***STOP: 0x000000f4. The computer restart it self after a moment.
    I checked memory with 2 different programs. No errors. HDD checked - no errors.
    Tried to update BIOS but get errorcode 1275 using Toshibe updateprogram.
    Anybody have any ideas what to do?

    Hey,
    Im a little bit confused about your posting First you wrote that you made clean installation and then you wrote something about an upgrade
    Whats true?
    Anyway, do you notice the bluescreen in safe mode too? If not it seems to be a driver issue because in safe mode no drivers will be loaded.

  • 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:
