It's time to take the laptop to a qualified technician; if there is a fuse, then it is _not_ an "end-user" task to disassemble the laptop, to change the fuse. If it is _not_ a fuse, then the technician needs to do more trouble-shooting than what you, as a "user", currently know how to do.

There's no M70 model, so I'm assuming you're talking abut a Satellite Pro M10, M15 series laptop. If the slightest movement hangs it or causes BSOD, then my guess is ... well ... I'll let you have it: the weaknesses of this models are: (1) bad memory socket (the upper socket),or (2) bad sound card socket. The one that's easiest to access is the upper memory socket - remove the installed memory from that socket, and see if your machine will still hang or blue-screen. I don't know if anyone still fixes these sockets (I do), but you can get around it by installing a larger capacity memory into the lower socket and skipping the upper socket altogether.

I have a set of recovery CDs. Email me at [email protected] if still have a problem.

to use it again press those keys to enable..if it does not work ..just go to device manager ..and click on the pad ..and enable it (click right ) to get there click on my computer icon (right ) ..and select properties and in there select hardware and device manager ..In the list you will find the pad under user interface devices..If it appears in yellow and have a exclamation sign on it ..it means it has no driver installed and you need to run the driver again ..I would run the driver anyway cause this operation will also enable it ..and it may be much easier for you ..http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1073769709&rpn=undefined&modelFilter=305CDS&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768663

You probably need to install teh video driver again ..This behavior is usually caused by the lack of video driver or a defective video card ..If your card works ..than the reinstalling of teh driver will make it fully functional ..http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=380609&rpn=PS630U&modelFilter=&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768667If this is not your model please specify and I wil look for your driver ..I only linked it cause you used this category ..have a nice day and please rate my answer..

just reinstall the driver for it ..if it has no driver it works just with the generic one in windows and the scroll and select will not be allowed..or install a usb mouse and will be easier to work and have all features..(in case the driver is not available for the touch pad )here is the place to look for the pad's driver ..http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=380609&rpn=PS630U&modelFilter=&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768667this is for Toshiba m-15 s405 ...I linked it cause you placed the question in this category ..If you use another model ..select it from the download list ..also select the operation system ..If you do use this one ..but another operation system try to install it anyway but under the executable properties modify to run in compatibility with windows xp have a nice day ..and please rate my answer ...

I think that is nothing wrong but you just selected the wrong way to restore it ..You should select to reinstall teh operation system complete ..and also to format the C drive during it ..in quick mode ..this would save time ..I suggest to get it from the start cause more than sure this way is in error ..and if it do not work ..just use a boot-able disk with the operation system and download the drivers for the used operation system from the manufacturer's site..here is the link fr your model http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=380609&rpn=PS630U&modelFilter=M15-S405&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768667select the correct 305 one ..and the operation system and download the drivers in case you do not have them ..If you suspect the recovery is damaged try to see if they can provide a new one or just reinstall it using a boot-able disk ..you can download an image from torrent sites.Good luck !
