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.

  • 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.
    Addresses you can find under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true

  • I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

  • 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: 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!

  • My i phone 4 screen went completely black and screen will not work but i can screenshot and other buttons vibrate and make a sound the screen just dosent respond.

    my home button was not working and I was in my settings looking for the advert touch or whatever it is called and my phone went completely black. al the buttons worked such as screen shotting (it made the sound) and turning on my ringer, the screen just didn't respond. I left it alone and plugged in over night and it hasn't done anything different. I also plugged it into my computer and it still did nothing. what can I do to resolve this problem?

    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • Satellite P300 PSPCCA - screen went pink

    Hi,
    I am running the above model notebook.
    Using it last night for a couple of hours and the screen went pink, I have tried a couple of system restores to no avail, it is not screen res settings I have checked them.
    At a loss of what it might be, anyone got any advice on fixing it?
    Whole screen is pink, I have a light shadow behind my mouse, some graphics come up in purple/pink shades.
    thanks

    Hi
    There are two possible faulty parts; either its graphic card or its a display.
    If the same pink display would be visible on external monitor then the issue is related to faulty graphic chip.
    If the external monitor would be ok, then the issue is related only to the notebooks screen.

  • Plugged my phone in to charge and screen went navy blue, now fully charged (plugged into laptop to check) and screen is still blue. receiving all notifications but nothing is showing. HAS NOT been dropped its only 2 months old.

    i was on facetime and phone was working perfectly normal. I plugged it in and left it for 5 minutes before going on it again, as i went to unlock it the screen was a dark blue colour and was receiving text messages but the screen was still this dark blue colour. i have since left it for an hour and restarted it multiple times but the screen is still the same. Ive plugged it into my mac to try and reset the whole phone but isn't letting me as i cannot type the password in. I'm just very confused as to how one minute it was working perfectly and now it isn't working at all. It hasn't been dropped.

  • Satellite M70-193: How to complete the drivers download list?

    Hi, I am trying to clean install XP Pro. On my m70-193 (done), but I was stuck in some of the drivers required to complete the installation. I downloaded all the drivers in toshiba for my machine(65 driver) but I can't fined the rest of them (almost 25 driver) would you please advice ?
    Thank you in advance
    Musa

    Without precise notebook hardware status list it is not possible to say what are you missing. Maybe you dont missing drivers but some tools and utilities.
    I recommend you to download Installations instructions documents and install all stuff using this installations order. Like you can see there are many Qfixes but you must not to install all of them. If you have time it is ok, if not be sure SP2 is preinstalled and after first start Windows update using Internet explorer. All missing stuff will be installed automatically.
    Bye
