Satellite M70-131: Is a PA3396E-1ACA AC-adapter compatible

Hi!
My brand new M70-131 , model PSM70E-01500QG3 came with AC Adapter with Part Number : PA3396E-1ACA. I read on the support site, the AC Adapter should be: PA3468E-1AC3
This AC Adapter works fine and the battery gets charged ok. I just want to ask if PA3396E-1ACA should work with M70-131 with no problems ? I mean what AC Adapter you got on M70-131 ?
Thanks very much in advance !
Kind regards,
Alex,

Hi
Usually you should use the Toshiba recommended AC adaptor.
I have also found the information on the Toshiba options & accessories site that you should use the Ac adaptor PA3468E-1AC3.
As far as I know this AC adaptor supports 19V, 3.95A, 75W, 3-pin.
Well, all AC adaptors which you use on this notebook should have this properties.

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.

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.

Error message occurs when I try to install Realtek HD Audio driver on Satellite M70

Microsoft Bus Driver should be loaded in your system before installing Realtek HD Audio Driver
This is the error message that I got when I tried to install the original Realtek drivers! Removed/installed the new WXP media center 2005, everything was fine but the modem and the sound, for the modem no problem but for the sound...(sight) I even downloaded new drivers on the internet and THEY WORKED!
But when I try next time to open my computer I get all the time a blue screen then it shuts down? What is wrong? I got everything original and I followed the step. What should I do?
By the way I got an Satellite M70 - 168 laptop.

Hi
Someone get this similar error message on his notebook OSs and according to the information the Microsoft patch should helps to sort it out.
Found this useful knowledge base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;835221
This document advice to install the KB835221 patch but that is only officially available by talking to Microsoft technical support!
But dont worry buddy. The Google search engine is the key!
Try to search for this KB835221 patch and Im sure you will find the right one!
The required UAA drivers in the Microsoft documents are not included with XP SP2 or SP1, so it's a useful QFE to have around if you want to use newer sound cards like the Realtek HD Audio.
PS: If the Q835221 didn't help then you can also try the updated driver from Microsoft Q888111 article, which has 4 versions depending on your OS and installed service pack.
Good luck!

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.

Sometimes Blue screen appears on Satellite M70

Hi there
I must express my overwhelming frustration with my satellite M70 laptop as I have it for more than a year now(warranty expired) and almost from the get go it had a problem in wich a blue screen appeared and the pc reboots...from the error report it is a problem with the graphics card and/or display driver.
I did take it to my local retailer for repair but the problem still remains(gone there 3 TIMES! each time waiting for more than a month for repair!and they did send it to toshiba service...)... as the problem doesnt happen *all the time* it seems they just didnt notice or something :(.
I did update all the drivers but it had no effect on the problem...
So now what?? Do I send it to repair and they finally replace the graphics card...but I pay??!!
This is all very upsetting for me as you might imagine...
And know its worse...it seems to be happening more and more...and many times the computer wont reboot after the bluescreen...it just stays black.
Now almost every time i turn it on it wont boot...the fan will just work for a few seconds and thats it.
Im almost certain the graphics card is defective...can I replace it at home? Argh this just feels wrong, the computer had this problem almost from the start and I sent it for repair...they just did not fix it...I shouldnt have to pay to fix it as I sent it for repair 3 times while it still had the warranty...
Please reply I'm desesperate and have no idea what to do

Hi Andrej and thanks for the reply
But the thing is I have already done that countless times...and the problem is still there...same old same old :(
I have tried seemingly everything...thats why I say its gotta be hardware :S
Having this in mind Id like to know if there is anything I can do(concerning hardware) without resorting to Toshiba service
Keep in mind that Im pretty sure it is the graphics card that is faulty(I dont know if its onboard or not)
Also sometimes when I turn it on the graphics on my pc go weird like an abstract painting or something lol...thats another reason to think its the graphics card.
So anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance for your replies :D

Satellite M70-340: screen went completely blue or black

Hi everyone,
I just bougth a Satellite M70-340 notebook and twice tonight the display went into a single color (once black, once blue) and though I still could hear the windows working (I could hear the Windows alert sounds and MSN message alerts), the screen went completely blue or black. I guess the error stems from a display driver problem so I downloaded the latest Intel driver found on this site. I am not sure if it will work.
My question is, did this happen to any of you? How did you fix it? And although I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile, could I install the ATI driver on this website? (I would prefer ATI driver since it is more up-to-date.)
Thanks all for your concern,
Best regards.

First of all thanks for the advice.
I downloaded the Intel driver found on the website but it turned out that, it is the version already installed in my notebook. So I don't think much has changed in my computer, now that I have installed the Intel driver again.
It has been only 3 days since I bought my notebook and I only installed a few softwares so I don't think it is in a condition much different from factory settings :( Therefore I am not sure if resetting my computer to factory setting would do.
Does anyone know if I could possibly use ATI display driver for my notebook? (It has Intel Media Accelerator Driver or something like that)
Thanks all for your concern,
best regards.

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.

Can I install a graphics card on Satellite M70?

I have got a Toshiba Satellite M70-394 (psm70e). I have seen that I have a pcie slot in my system through a hardware identifier program. Is it possible that I can install a graphics card through the back if I unscrew the back or get a professional to do it?

Hi!
> an express card slot.
Do you know what an express card slot is?
I think you are mixing something
The express card slot is designed for express cards. Its similar to PCMCIA cards.
You will not find a graphic card that is designed for the express card slot. For these slot you can buy USB extension cards for example.
Check your user manual!!!
There you will find more details about this slot.

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. ;)

Can I use 2 external monitors with Satellite M70?

Is there any chance to connect to PC (M70-131) 2 outer monitors? Triyng to do this via video splitter I have only 2 monitor configuration mode, instead of 3 as it should be.

You own a VGA splitter. This device can only copy the SAME image on two monitors.
but,...
you want to have totally three (3) independent pictures produced by your notebook.
Yes, that's possible. You will only need to purchase an USB Video Adaptor for your notebook (or desktop).
They are not very expensive (around 100 Euro) and allow you to do amazing things with your applications.
Here is a link of such a device (This picture is meant as an EXAMPLE ONLY, it might not be the BEST device to buy for your requirements).

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 M70-354 - Is the mainboard compatible with another one?

Hello guys,
I have to replace the mainboard of a Toshiba Satellite M70-354 PSM70E.
The inbuild mainboard is a K000033860, so is it compatible with any PSM70E mainboard avayable (K000XXXXXX)?
Thanks for any help
5urprise

Hi
I think you should ask this question an authorized service provider. I mean here its an user to user forum and nobody can check which mainboards fit in which notebooks.
The technicians can order all spare parts and so I think they should know if this mainboard also fit in Satellite M70.
By the way, here you can search for the nearest authorized service provider:

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:
