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 P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

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.

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.

Some question about fade in // fade out by hideEffect and showEffect in Actionscript

Some question about fade in // fade out by hideEffect and
showEffect in Actionscript
Please kindly take a look at the following page:
http://camusmiu.no-ip.com/HounganQuestion/PictureHolderTest.html
(can view source)
I tried to make an image preloaded and scale the image to
it's preferred size.
When I came to consolidate the stuff into a component, I
found the application goes weird as I implementation the show/hide
effect.
The third trial which just hide and show the images directly,
instead of using viewstack, fail to bring the second image onto
screen.
It just used fadeOut instead of fadeIn(you see there is a
flash of the second image)
After some study of showEffect and hideEffect behaviour,
seems the mechanism of hide/show a component works in this way:
this._fadeIn:Fade = new Fade();
this._fadeIn.alphaFrom = 0;
this._fadeIn.alphaTo = 1;
this._fadeIn.duration = 1000;
this._fadeOut:Fade = new Fade();
this._fadeOut.alphaFrom = 1;
this._fadeOut.alphaTo = 0;
this._fadeOut.duration = 1000;
Component_A.visible = true;
Component_A.setStyle("showEffect", this._fadeIn);
Component_A.setStyle("hideEffect", this._fadeOut);
then when I set Component_A.visible = false, the sequence
works like following:
Component_A.visible = true
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 100;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 50;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 0;
Component_A.visible = false;
The above sequence works visa versa as:
Component_A.visible = false;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 0;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 50;
Component_A.visible = true, alpha = 100;
Component_A.visible = true;
(Correct me if i am wrong)
========================================================================================== ====
From what I observe from the application, I have two
question.
1) When more than one component using the this._fadeIn,
this_fadeOut as the hide/show effects, the component in instance of
this._fadeIn? will it mess out if more than one component using the
fadeIn instance in the same time?
2) from the third component, i.e. PictureHolder3, when I load
other the picture , it fade out the new image instead of fading
in... Seems there is problem if I hide show too frequent. I think
when I hide then show right the way, the component only do the hide
part...
Can someone pls look into it and tell me what I did wrong?
Cuz in normal practice I don't think appropriate to use ViewStack
in Actionscript...

Hello Jack,
Currently, you can only import an swf file or you can embed videos from youtube, vimeo etc. into Muse / add HTML5 Video to Your Website.
Take a look at these simple videos that explain the currently available processes for adding videos in Muse, in a step by step method:

Question about Warranty extension on Satellite A300-1EI

Good day.
I need some information and assistance please.
I bought a laptop around mid September 2008 in Saudi Arabia. (Jarir Bokstore). The store had a promotion whereby you get the standard one year international warranty BUT they give you a further extension of a year (hence, 2 years in total).
I intended on purchasing an extended warranty for a three year period. I was told by the salesman that I can activate my "gift" warranty and later purchase another extendable warranty for a total of 4 year international coverage.
I registered the given warranty and it appears on the toshiba warranty portal.
However, when I returned to the store to purchase a further warranty extension I was told that you cannot register more than one warranty.
I found this strange and therefore did not purchase the additional extended warranty yet. I need to know whether this is actually true or will I still be able to purchase an extended warranty again. Seems I run into a brick wall when I ask the salemen . . .thought I would try the forum instead.
I need to get information from a reliable and trustworthy source.
The other news they also gave me is that they are awaiting news from Toshiba regarding the same subject.
Kindly assist.
Thank you and eagerly awaiting a reply.
Lukman

Hi
As far as I know all Toshiba notebooks are covered by warranty for one year (12 month).
If you would register your notebook on the Toshiba European page you would get additional one year warranty; in total 2 years warranty.
> The store had a promotion whereby you get the standard one year international warranty BUT they give you a further extension of a year (hence, 2 years in total).
The additional one year of warranty is not a gift from the shop. You will get this additional year of warranty always if you would register the notebook. It has nothing to do with the place where you have purchase this notebook.
So now some words regarding your warranty extensions;
First of all you have to register your notebook on the Toshiba European page.
This registration will enable the additional second year of warranty. (as mentioned above)
Now if you want you can purchase further warranty packages.
Toshiba provides different packages and in your case I would recommend checking this Toshiba European page for more details:

Satellite M70-340: I cannot see the DVD schort cut menu after reinstallation

Hi,
I just recently bought Toshiba M70-340 2 weeks ago. Now I learn that there is better Toshiba comparing the my one.
My question is I cannot see on the screen the DVD schort cut menu. First time when I opened it it was on the rıght handside
of screen and my machine was Turkish Win XP Home edition. Than I reformat and change into English version of WinXP that comes with in Toshiba recovery CD. But I lost the screen menu for DVD I guess. Now ı don't know how to re-install that option.
Plus my machine is use the Intel Centrino 1.7 but I am not sure if this is a dual proccess. Secondly the ram is 512MB and I am trying to buy 2GB extened ram but seems still very very expensive (around $1100) Why is that 2GB ram so expensive?
I am using my laptop for software engineering as well as using Macromedia flash and Adobe Photoshop.
The both application and MS VS.NET 2005 as well as SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 application are very slow and sometime it takes more than 30
min. to compile or open it.
I have my home PC P4 3.2G with 1GB ram and it's faster than my Toshibe laptop.
Please be patien with me, after a 5 years later I bought my second laptop and first one was notebook from another manufacture.
I search in the internet and I find the M70-340 with Turkish Q type keyboard was the best option and it cost me $1450.
All I need how to overcome my problem and I need someone from Toshiba to explained to me carefully.
Can someone read my post and answer my question and worries?
I thank you very much and I looking forward to receive some help.
Kind Regards,
NTMS2006

Hello
I dont want to disappoint you but please dont expect someone from Toshiba will write to you because this is user-to-user forum. I will try to write some comments because I have the same unit as you.
This DVD shortcut is really not understandable for me and I really dont know what you are writing about. If the DVD drive is recognized and installed properly it should be listed in device manager and also shown in Windows explorer. If you want to discus about it please describe exact status of DVD drive in device manager and Windows explorer.
You are right about memory. This notebook is delivered with 512 MB Ram. According the notebook specification it can handle max with 2GB of Ram and if you want to use max please use 2x1GB module. Compatible one is DDR2-400/533 1GB (PA3411U-1M1G).
2GB modules are the newest and everything new is very expensive. I dont know how much it can costs but definitely not around $1100. For this money you can buy the whole notebook.
The list of used software is impressive and I am not wondering if the notebook runs slow. Upgrade it to max Ram and it will be much faster. Please dont compare your desktop with this mobile unit.
Pick up info how much costs PA3411U-1M1G memory module and use two of them for max RAM. You will see that unit will run faster and I hope you will be satisfied with performance.
Have a nice day!

Satellite U405D - Several questions about overheat/disassembly/upgrade etc.

Hi there,
I have several questions about my one year old Satellite U405D-S2910
1- When it works, after 2-3 hours (I usually run small programs like safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85-90 C (178-188 F). When I play Age of Empires 2 (Come on, its an ancient game) like 2-3 hours it shuts down itself. What could be the possible reason?? By the way, let me inform you about the climate of the town I live, temp 30C - humidity 25-35% (nowadays).
ps. Cpu= AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model, RM-74
2- I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think reason of overheating is this). It doesnt seem like a desktop, so complicated. Ive seen a step-by-step disassembly(btw, its so hard to spell disassembly:) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions about it? any experiences could help me?
3- My laptops Ram memory consists of 2X2GB PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM, I want to replace it to 2x2GB MACH XTREME DDR2 1333MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK RAM. Should I do it? Does it fit my laptop, work stable? any suggestions?
ps. mainboard chipset AMD M780V
4- finally :) , Should I use 64 bit OS or 32 bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?
Thank you.

Hi buddy,
1+2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you should clean your notebook using compressed air spray. Therefore its not necessary to disassemble it, just blow gently and shortly the air through the notebook. You can buy such compressed air spray from every computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
You can find an useful article about this here:
3. In my opinion you should forget this update! The RAM speed is related to FSB of CPU and as far as I know on Satellite U405D its 667MHz so its already the fastest RAM that you can have. Save your money and buy a bigger HDD or in best case an SSD that can really improve the performance!
4. In my opinion the answer is clear: Windows 7 64bit.
Only a 64bit OS support full 4GB RAM. ;)

Few questions about mac pro before buying

Hello all!
I may be buying a mac pro in a month or so and have a few questions about it.
1. ) Any one know when Apple may release the latest mac pro? Don't wanna buy some thing that'll be significantly obsolete in a few days
2. ) Is it possible to use SATA optical drives internally? I have a SATA blu ray drive I'd like to take from my PC, if that's possible.
3. ) Is it possible to get a graphics cards better than the 8800 GT for video games? (For use in OS X)
4. ) Finally, is there a significant performance difference between Apple's seemingly super expensive RAM and 3rd party RAM? (Other than the heat syncs)
Thanks for any replies.

1. We have no idea when Apple will release any product until it's released. This is a user-to-user site so we have no more information about future products than you do.
2. Yes, it's possible. There are two additional SATA ports on the motherboard.
3. The only graphic cards are those provided by Apple when you order the computer as well as the non-Apple supplied ATI HD-3870 Mac/PC card. The 8800 and 3870 have close performance specs. You can find some benchmarks at Bare Feats.
4. There's no difference between the RAM Apple installs and what you can purchase on the open market. As long as the RAM meets the required specifications and has the requisite heat sink it will work just fine.

Question about get web service result in actionscript and convert data format

Hi, All
I have question about how to get dataset from web services
and put it in tree structure. I have 2 questions about this:
1, How can I get data correctly in actionscript?
I have no problem to get data by
<mx:ArrayCollection id="acFolder"
source="{mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(MyGServices.getFolder.lastResult)}"
/>
And display in datagrid.
But when I try to use
public function
handleFolderContents(event:mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent):void{
arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
acData=new ArrayCollection(arData);
input.text=acData.getItemAt(0).id;
Seems I can’t get data, it always say:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
2, how to convert data format
I get data from web service and want to convert it to tree
structure, as mention below:
I get:
<Array>
<id>111</id>
<Name>Production1</Name>
</Array>
<Array>
<id>222</id>
<Name>Production2</Name>
</Array>
Convert to:
<mx:XMLList id="treeData">
<node>
<node label="Production1" data="111">
<node label="Production2" data="222"/>
</node>
</node>
</mx:XMLList>
Please help me.
Thanks.

First, don't specify the package path in the argument
declaration. Instead import the event object:
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
The docs state this emphatically.
Second, try "lastResult", in place of "result":
arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.lastResult); // I am
not positive about this. I maybe recall reading that result was ok
for the event object, but maybe not.
Finally, why do you want to convert the xml? You certainly
could, but it would be a manual process, recursively reading the
existing xml nodes and building the new structure, but again, why?
Just use a labelFunction if necessary to display the nodes as
you wish.

Question about MSN on my new DC G5 and about Burning on Itunes

Hey guys I have a question about ripping music to itunes, I have a Dual Core 2.0 and was wondering if it was normal that my ripping speed is round 14.5 one some cd's and on other cds 27.5 lol i have ripping to maximum, but the weirdest thing is that if i burn data to a CD, it does it faster than ever, compared to my old comp, but my old comp use to rip I tunes some times faster.
how cna i check if my super drive is working fine or is this pretty normal? like DVD's work fast on the comp, and stuff installs pretty fast? so i dont think its a reading problem, and ive done hardware tset and eveyrthing passed
Secondly, my Gf also has a mac and i think she has the smae problem or at least she says she does, and that is when running MSN Messenger i get signed off alot, saying that my network connection has been lost when i run Safari all the time on it, and works perfectly and FAST. is it just that MSN messenger has bugs with mac ? ive heard bout some bugs just dont know if this is one of them

Make sure you have your CPU speed set to highest. Ripping the CD will depend on CPU and condition of the originial disk. Old disks may take longer.
As for MSN? If only you and your GF are the users of MSN you might be better switching to AIM or iChat. Here's a review of different IM applications...

4 questions about the the top boxes - SD box and Home media DVR

Hello. I am going to be getting Fios soon and I have some questions about the boxes. I will be getting the Home Media DVR and 4 SD boxes.
1) Do these boxes have timers on them to set so the box can turn off at a certain time?
2) Do these boxes have parental control and if so is it good enough to block things that I do not want my child to see?
3) How many people can access the home media dvr at the same time to watch already recorded programs
4) If the Home Media DVR is in the family room can a record be started from the bedroom over the SD set top box (even an hd show)?
Thanks for any help.

I have been using two Standard Set Top Boxes for about a year. I have Parental Controls on and all channels locked. When I want to watch a channel, I tune to that channel, note the LOCKED message, which tells me to press the OK button to enter ther Parental Controls PIN and unlock the channel for viewing.
This has worked flawlessliy for the last year -- ON THE Standard STB's.
I just ordered the Home Media DVR STB to replace one of my Standardt STB..
On the Home Media DVR:
I can set the Parentals Control PIN and lock the channels, in the exact same way I did o nthe Standard STB's. However, when tuen to ANY channel, I still ge the LOCKED message and instructions to press OK to unlock the channel -- BUT no matter how I press the OK button, the Enter your Parental Conlrols PIN dialog box willl NOT open. Nothing happens -- you CAN NOT view any channel.
Again, it is the EXACT setup as for the Standard STB, but the OK button will NOT unlock any of the channels.
If you unlock all channels and LOCK the Ratings, the same problem recurs: OK buitton will never open the "enter your PIN" dialog box.
I have received two replacement boxes and have spent hours on the phone with some very capable and helpful Techs -- no luck.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Here's how to test your Home Media DVR:
1. Menu-Settings-Parental Controls.
2. You will be prompted to CREATE youre Parental Controls PIN
3. Enter you PIN twice.
4. Use the > button to scroll to Enable On/Off and set it on.
5. scroll down to Control Channels
6. Press > button to See Locked Channels
7. Scroll down to Add/Remove Channels
8. Scroll right to choose LOCK ALL
9. Press OK and then scroll to YES to lock all channels
10. Press EXIT to get out of settings.
11. All channels are now locked.
12. Go to any channel
13. A black screen will appear with a lock silhouette with the word LOCKED below, followed by instructions to Press OK to enter PIN and unlock this channel. (plus how to change locks...).
14.Press the OK button and, if it is working, you will see a dialog box at the bottom of the screen that is titled: UNLOCK, with the channel listed and the instructions to "Enter your PIN using your numeric pad on remote to naje this channel availabe for all users." THere's a PIN box, which shows asterisks for each number entered, with "Press Exit to Cancel" below.
15. On the Standard STB, it works exactly as described in steps 1 thru 14. On the Media Center DVR, it works up to step `13, but in 14, no matter how you press the OK button, the UNLOCK dialog box never pops us. The Remote STB light flashes on the remove and the REMOTE yellow light flashes on the DVR, but nothng happens.
If you have a Home Media DVR, can you please try this and see if it works?
Thanks,
John

ANOTHER Question about my iMac G3. Mac OS X and RAM

Hey, I have ANOTHER question about my iMac G3.
I know that I'm supposed to have the latest firmware updates for my iMac G3 running OS 8.1, which I do, but I read some where these firmware updates could only be updated if you're running OS 9.2. Yet when I run the firmware updater, it says my firmware is up to date. I just wanted to make sure this was correct because I just ordered an OS X 10.2 CD today, and I don't want my mac to be "dead" when I install it.
My next question is how much RAM can my mac hold. It's an iMac G3 with a 233 mhz processor, if that makes a differemce.
Again, thanks to the people who have helped me with my first Mac.

hi there--
unfortunately you require system 9.1 or 9.2 for the required firmware update 1.2 for your computer http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117. so you'll have to install that if you want to install 10.2. it may work for you for a little while, but then you could possibly lose all your information. so i wouldn't advise attempting installing 10.2 without the correct firmware. [ : ) ]

Satellite L850-Y3110 - Question about International warranty

I bought a Satellite laptop L850-Y3110 in India which has an international warranty.
There's a problem with it now, it's cd drive is faulty and I took it to an authorized service centre in Newcastle.
It needs the cd driver to be replaced, but now Im told Toshiba wont give the part cause I didn't but it in the UK, and the person told me to go back to where I bought it from and fix it there, I wont be going back there any time soon, so thats out of the option.
My question is what's the point of the International warranty if it's going to have these kinds of drawbacks.
When I bought a laptop I wanted one which would be in warranty internationally cause Im a student going out of the country for studies, thats why I bought this one as it has international warranty and my laptop still is in international warranty.
What am I to do now?

Hi
Im not quite sure about the notebooks sold in India but the notebooks sold in Europe are covered with at least 1 year European standard warranty, valid from the date of purchase
http://www.toshiba.eu/services/standard-warranty/
This warranty does not cover repair in other countries but in case of hardware malfunction you have to visit the authorized service provider in country where you made the purchase.
To get international warranty coverage you would need to purchase an International Warranty extension: details here http://www.toshiba.eu/services/warranty-extension/
In case the International Warranty has been registered for your notebook, the ASP in UK should be able to fix the notebook under international warranty conditions.
