Debian Linux suggestions for Satellite M60-135

Hi there,
I'd like to have a running Debian Linux system as a primary OS on my M60-135.
Until now I've tried several Live CDs and DVDs:
- Debian 4 itself
- Knoppix up to 5.2
- Kanotix 2006
- Sidux Chaos
- Ubuntu and Kubuntu (both 6.10)
- Linux Mint 2.2
Also:
- Fedora Core 6
- Mandriva free 2007
None of them work due to difficulties with the X server.
The ATI graphics chip obviously doesn't work.
The setup continues properly - even up to the starting sounds of the OS - yet the screen stays black.
Therefore no way to enter the console, edit files or whatever.
Now my reply:
Did anyone manage to get a Debian system running on such a machine an if so - HOW?
Please keep in mind that I'm a Linux newbie and that I for those reasons would be glad for rather "visible" explanations ;-)
By the way:
Opensuse 10.2 recognizes the graphics adapter correctly and boots up to a visible screen.
What's different here?
Nonetheless will Suse not be my way of Linux ...
Thanks for any ideas!

Hi,
the thing is that linux is not running perfectly on EVERY system, so if you want to begin with linux then use a distribution which works out of the box.
So, it doesnt matter which distribution you use, if you are a newbie then begin with suse. Its the perfect distro to begin, and after a while of practice you will get more experience and you would be able to configure your system if something fails.
Its just a matter of time which distro you will use, but dont overburden yourself with dists like fedora, gentoo or something else.
Try it with suse and make your way. :)
Greets and good luck

Does Satellite M60-135 support C-Sel?

Hello,
the TEAC DVD drive doesn't work anymore.
So I'd like to replace it.
Thinking about alternatives I stumbled about the Pioneer DVR-K16L drive.
But this one is obviously configured as "cable select".
Does my M60-135 support this or do I have to choose another drive?
Any suggestions welcome!
Thx!

Hi
Such information is not known to me and mostly if you want to buy an drive for you notebook you should firstly call the Toshiba authorized service provider for information about compatible drives.
There is also another possibility to find out what settings the notebook supports.
I use Nero burning rom and this application supports an diagnostic function. It listed the whole info about the installed CD/DVD drive.
After such diagnostic procedure you should know more details about the installed drive and you should buy the drive which supports the same specification

Satellite M60-135: How can I change the OS language?

Hello!
I have purchase a M60-135. But it was in Germany!So as you understand everithink there is writen in german language :) but
I understand only English!!! what can i do about this?{windows and all programs}!!
Thanks for advises!!!

Hello
Well, it seems you need an English Recovery CD.
As far as I know its not possible to install only a language pack or something like that.
If you want to have the English OS you have to reinstall the whole system.
In this case you try to install the original engl. Windows OS and then all necessary Toshiba drivers or you contact the Toshiba service partner for an English Recovery CD.

Satellite M60-135: How to edit drives DMA properties?

The BIOS in my M60-135 (Phoenix) obviously provides no possibility to view or edit the DMA properties of the attached drives.
Is there a way to flash the BIOS to get the informations?
Background of this question:
I've installed Suse Linux 10.2 but YAST doesn't display any device within the IDE/DMA configuration.
To let the drives run at optimal speed and best performance (esp. the optical drive) I'd like to define DMA values.
Any suggestions?

No, I dont think so.

Im not Linux expert and therefore I dont know how to realize this in the Linux environment but under XP you could check it under

Satellite L300D-135 - Certain keys stop working after several minutes

Satellite L300D-135 (PSLC8E-02P013EN) model laptop, on cold boot the keyboard is fine. As things warm up the R and Y keys stop responding as do the 7890 keys. Might be heat related.
The keyboard has been replaced but both old and new do the same thing, so it's more like a controller problem. Have flashed BIOS to latest as saw mention of keyboard issues in one of the BIOS releases. End user has been tolerating this for some months but dyslexic child now needs to use laptop and cannot cope with dead keys.
Any ideas? Laptop is 2 weeks out of warranty and end user just asked me to take a look, problem has been around during warranty period.
Phil

Hi Phil
Can you notice the same issue if you connect an external keyboard or does this happen only with an internal one?
I cant imagine that this has something to do with the heat but if you want you can clean your notebook using compressed air spray. This could blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators.
If not you have to replace the whole keyboard. Normally its not so expensive so dont worry about this. You can also ask your ASP if they can repair it as gesture of goodwill.

Satellite M60 issue - needs an reparation

Hello every body.
suit in May, 2006, I offered myself a Satellite M60, 17" (for 1500 euro).
3 months ago, lines(features) appeared on my TFT.
Toshiba made the reparation which has cost 865 euro. Today, my mobile (portable) does not ignite any more.
We announce me that the mere card has to change, rising of the estimate: 570 euro.
Estimate which I refuse, naturally. I am with one "magnificent" mobile(portable) which has only 2 years.
ASP refuse to repare it at his charge. What can I do please.
Thank you very much for your answer.
Lydie (from Nantes in France)

Hi Lydie
Its a sad story and a little bit difficult to understand However, it looks like a hardware part is defect and an replacement is needed.
If your warranty is valid then an reparation should be done for free
If you have registered your notebook on the Toshiba page then an warranty should be valid for 2 years. If you havent registered the notebook on the Toshiba page then your warranty is valid only for one year.
It looks like your warranty is expired and you have to pay for the reparation
Unfortunately, but I dont see any other solution
Best regards and greetings to France

M60 -135: Where can I get the Power Saver utility?

hi !
where can i get the toshiba power management utility for my m60-135 ??? in the download category isnt a single one. can i take the power saver from an other series ??
best regards
Thomas

Hello
Well, I dont know why but on the Toshiba Europe site I cant also find the Power Saver for your unit.
As far as I know your notebook was delivered with TOSHIBA Power Saver V1.32.0.3C.
But on the USA Toshiba page I found this tool for other machine (Satellite M60-S811ST)

Im not 100% sure but you can try to install this version. Maybe it works.

Satellite C855D-135 - Corrupt BIOS, black screen, keyboard is not working

Hello everybody.
I have been having some issues with my Toshiba Satellite C855D-135 laptop. I had to change my internal hard drive, so I decided to install windows 7 on it (I used to have windows 8 but don't have the CD and I couldn't find the licence key sticker.),
So I went into the BIOS to switch it from UEFI to CSM, but something went wrong at that point and it seems to have corrupted the bios.
I think I have bricked it, but some things still work.
When I turn it on:
- the screen stays black (Yes, I have tried it on a different screen)
- the keyboard doesn't seem to be working (the leds don't turn on when I press caps lock)
- the fan works fine
- cd reader works fine
- When I plug in a USB stick, it flashes quickly once, so that seems to be working
- When I removed the memory bar, the computer did it's series of beeps
- I tried removing the battery, unplugging it and pressing on the power button for ages. (no luck)
- I have tried removing the CMOS battery to revert the bios to default. (no luck)
- I tried flashing the bios on a USB stick, until I realised the keyboard wasn't working and that it was all in vain.
- I tried putting the bios update on a CD, and it spun for a while, but nothing happened in the end. I tried putting these files on the CD:
- IBIOS.BAT
- C8610.FD (in the Win8 folder)
- C610.FD (in the WIN7 folder)
- I tried renaming C8610.FD to BIOS.FD
I have run out of ideas now.
Could anybody help me? Pretty please?
I hope it's not the motherboard that's broken, coz I really don't have enough money to send it off to be repaired.

The whole story sounds very strange to me I never heard about that fact that changing the boot mode from UEFI to CSM would affect the BIOS.
In my opinion there is some serious hardware problem. As you already assumed, it could be probably a motherboard fault.
I would recommend you to ask some technicians for some hardware diagnostic tests to perform an motherboard check in order to be 100% sure about the fault.
If you dont have enough money and the motherboard is really affected you could try to get some 2nd hand part

Memory upgrade on Satellite M60

Hello there,
I have recently installed Vista Ultimate on my Satellite M60 Laptop, it is activated and updated but I think it is short on memory. I have two 512 banks of memory and have bought two 1gb memory chips from crucial to install instead of the 512 banks.
Question is, I can find one bank under a lid on the bottom of the laptop but no other, where abouts is it situated and how do I access it?
I have done a similar upgrade on an older model and have no problems with working on the machine but in that case they were both underneath and easily accessed.
Hope you can help.
Russell.

Hi Silas,
My apologies for my stupidity for not checking my laptop for memory before I posted. Both the memory modules are accessed via lid on the back of the machine on the M60.
I was thinking about another Toshiba we have in my office which has only one module underneath.
The machine has the 2 gb of memory now installed and performance is slightly improved using Vista.

Re: Question about RAM expansion on Satellite M60

*RAM extention*:
What kind of memory should I buy if I want to extend it from 512MB to *2GB* or more for
*Satellite M60*-182 under Windows XP Home Editon with Service Pack 2
I mean: frequency, symbol, producer etc. to work properly?
oczkim

Hi,
your machine can be upgraded to a maximum main memory capacity of 2GB, which means:
to expand the memory to the maximum limit what the machine is able to, you must put 2x 1GB DDR2 S0DIMM modules with a frequency of 533Mhz in both slots of your machine.
I would suggest you the following brands: Toshiba, Kingston, OCZ
Greetings

Satellite M60-164 need AC Adapter

I have a Satellite M60-164. I tried to purchase a replacement AC Adapter. I sent the part number to my supplier and they tell me that it is discontinued. Anyone know an equivalent compatible adapter for Satellite M60-164.......thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Weezie,
I did know about the part no. I tried 3 suppliers on the internet 2 cannot supply and 1 said it is discontinued. Even Toshiba website stop listing it as an available option. I was wondering which of the AC adapter for the other model is compatible. One of them must be. Toshiba can't just stop supporting a product, especially the laptop isn't that old.
Thanks for your reply.

Searching for a monitor icc profile for a Satellite M60-139

i'm a grafic-designer useing a Satellite M60-139 - and therefor i need a color-profile for my Satellite M60-139-display - has anybody an idea where from i can get one?

Hi,
From what I understand, you do not need to download or install any color profiles. It is exactly what the name implies, a profile. One you create and save on your computer. It can also be used to set different color profiles for different monitors. If you right click desktop, and then select the tab on the far right, then click advanced. Under advanced go to color management, and then click add, at which point it will give you a list of predefined color profiles. You can select the one closest to what you need and modify it to your specifications, and then save it. I hope this helps, if not, I can google around and see if there are any predifined on the internet to download, but I found none so far. Let me know how it goes.
Googling around, I found this website with some ICC's you can download. I hope you find the one you need.

Sims2 does not start on my satellite m60-167

does anyone have an idea why sims2 does not run on my notebook? it just shows the logo and claims "sims2 has noticed a problem and has to be finished."
why? there is no clonecd etc. installed...
everything seems to be on the newest standard on my notebook. what happens?
thank you for help.

Hello Petra
It is very strange because the Satellite M60 has very powerful graphic card. Like you know on this way it is not easy to give you any precise answer. SIMS2 is known to me but I have never tried it.
Usually some games detect problem with graphic card performance but the error message that have mentioned is unfortunately not precise. Please try to visit SIMS2 support page. Toshiba doesnt support game problems and you have better chance to become some advice on SIMS2 support page.
Good luck!

Satellite M60-BK3: Cannot get sound after Vista installation

Hi,
I've installed Windows Vista Ultimate Edition (32bits) on my Toshiba Satellite M60-BK3, but I can't get any sound either the correct video settings. I've searched on the internet and it seems that this Satellite family is not supported to be upgraded to Windows Vista :S
Does anyone have any idea of how can I get these drivers in order to make my laptop work fine with Vista??
Thank you.
Rodrigo

Hi
This Satellite M60-BK3 model is not known to me. Where did you purchase it???
Try to install a hardware diagnostic tool to find out what sound chip and graphic card this notebook supports.
Then you could download the drivers from part manufacturer site.
