Attention to the users of Toshiba in India

Hi all

Take precautions extreme when purchasing WATER Toshiba laptops or any other place. Because if you the area to buy it for use in countries such as India (with an international warranty), I want to say, you could be in trouble. I'm fed up with their service in India (1800-118674).
I bought a Toshiba A300 laptop computer series (with Windows Vista Home Pemium pre-installed for DHS 4499) hoping that I would get a free update for Windows7, as says global website of Toshiba. But, to my surprise when I tried to sign up for the free update I received a menu to pay another $39,90.

But it does not stop the question. I am currently in India and only Toshiba service centers are currently is in Bangalore and Chennai, which is 600 kilometers that I stayed. And you must register the customer first and then with in 3 days you must declare the laptop or you need to re - register, for them to take care of your laptop.
More than what they have customer care people would nt say you nothing more where are service centers. (I had a question regarding the upgrade of windows 7, and they said something like...) "WE CANNOT TELL YOU WHAT ANYONE ON THIS..." GO TO THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES... YOU WILL GET THE HELP... IS THAT CLEAR?... IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW... "It was more than enough for me... So I said thank YOU.)

In any CASE someone here please help me in this regard. I just wanted to know this. I have a Toshiba laptop and that has 4 GB of pre-installed RAM. And Toshiba gave me a 32 bit OS (which has a maximum physical memory addressing limit of about 3 GB). So needless to say that the remaining GB 1 is get wasted. So I would switch to Windows7. But I would like to know if I can get a 64 bit OS. Because if one 32-bit again, the remaining memory is always going to be used. I better go for Linux OS with a capacity of 64-bit rather than an upgrade of Windows7 (32 bit).

Note: Users take care that Toshiba doesn't have a free update for all series of portable computers that have Windows Vista Home Premium or above preinstalled. Also check the availability of the service centres in your country.

You can also contact me at [email protected].

Hello Raje

I'm sorry, you are not satisfied with the service of Toshiba, but after reading your ad I want to write my comment to all this.

As a first step, you mentioned having trouble with international warranty. I put t know why you wrote this. As I see that you didn t sent your laptop for repair. My laptop last year died when I was on vacation and the local service provider has repaired my laptop without asking questions. After recording short Toshiba database they ordered parts and after 5 days, I got my laptop. So if someone is often travel through the international interest should be extended.

When you order the upgrade, you must pay for the shipping and handling and I assume that Toshiba will cover only these costs.
If you check other manufacturers of portable you will never find completely free service. Have you ever something Microsoft for free?

One last and very important thing: for a long time I didn't know that Toshiba is a global company of work but in several independent companies based on sectors of the market. So here, in Europe, you have Toshiba EMEA (Europe-Middle East-Africa), Toshiba U.S., Toshiba Australia and New Zealand and probably in Asia from Toshiba. Each of them supports the clean area only.

So if you buy portable UAE UNITED belonging to Toshiba EMEA I can imagine that Toshiba India (Toshiba Asia) cannot answer some questions about upgrade program for the EMEA region.

In the end, I must say that everything is not as bad as you think. ;)

In any case, good luck and have lots of fun with your A300. I have the same model of laptop, and it's really good laptop with fantastic material.

Good bye

  • Detect if an application has the attention of the user

    Hey guys,.

    I have the BlackBerry to get the attention of the user (e.g. by vibrating) If an important event occurs.

    However, it does not vibrate if the application already has the attention of the user. What is the best way to check if the application has the attention of the user?

    Something to consider:

    -App is in the background (probably using Application.isForeground ())

    -If the BB is in the Holster (Application.isInHolster or something similar?)

    -If the request is put forward, but the screen is off. In this case, I still want the BB to vibrate and turn on the screen.

  • Updaters Mozilla should leave the user settings where they are.

    It is annoying when an update of Firefox or Thunderbird erases the existing settings. We update on the idea of Mozilla is "dedicated to you, your privacy and an open web site" and wants to preserve our security.

    And it's wonderful.

    But pay attention to the settings that we have in place, so we trash not our existing facility every time we update.

  • Is it possible for Firefox to remember multiple combinations of name and password of the user to a Web site?

    My husband and I use Yahoo! Mail, but each has our own account. We are constantly put in front and in back. Enter the full name of the user and the password by hand each time it's boring, but it's not fair for one of us to have Mozilla to remember the user name and password. It would be great if there was a way for Mozilla to memorize our usernames and passwords. No idea if there is a way to do something like that? Thank you!

    30 Firefox should be able to store more than one name and password to the Yahoo site.
    Firefox should offer to store the name and the password for the other institutions.

    Make sure that you are not Firefox running in permanent private browsing mode (don't remember history).

    • Tools > Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "use the custom settings for history".

  • Satellite Pro M30 - error message: the user is not authorized to update BIOS

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite Pro M30 of second hand. This one has the Bios 1.30... I would like to install the bios v1.70.

    I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 and tried first update in Windows.
    I however got the message "the user is not allowed to update BIOS.

    This message is quite surprising given that I have administrator privileges.

    I read that you can use a floppy disk to update, but I did not...

    So, is it possible to update the Bios with the CD?

    See you soon,.
    R.S.

    Hello

    I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and found the version of BIOS 1.7 WIN in the field of ARCHIVES.

    As you can see, it's a version of BIOS Windows and not a traditional version of the BIOS (trad BIOS can be updated using the diskette).
    This BIOS win can be improved only from a running OS Win.

    In any case, I see that you have installed SP3. It could have a bad influence on the update of the BIOS.
    Then maybe you should try to update the BIOS without SP3 installed?

    Remove SP3, download the good BIOS, unzip correctly and then try to run the BIOS update file.

    _Ps: If you laptop then runs without problem a BIOS update is not necessary! _

  • Sort the channels in Toshiba 47L7453DG

    Hello

    I recently bought a new Toshiba 47L7453DG TV and I tried to sort the channels, but it was impossible. I found in the user manual, the following note:

    "Renumber, move, sort, and delete functions are not available for the antenna channels. Renumber, move, sort, and delete functions are only available for the DVB - C in Germany. »

    However, as I read in other posts, Toshiba recommends the use of this software (version 1.04) ToshibaEdit.

    I followed the steps described below:

    1. I transferred the list of channels of TV on USB
    2. I have compressed files
    3. I opened the in ToshibaEdit
    4. I reorganized the channels
    5. I saved the zip file
    6. I unzipped the files to USB
    7. I transferred files from USB to TV

    So far so good. However, although the list of channels is changed, the TV shows 'No signal' message across all channels, and I have to re - set my TV or load the original files that were exported from the TV (the first time).

    Have you already tested ToshibaEdit L74 series? I saw a similar post somewhere on this forum and a user had the same problem, but you have not proposed a solution. What seems to be the problem after you have saved the files in ToshibaEdit? I followed all the steps exactly as described in the manual here, hereand here.

    Please for more help I've been banging my head for 3 days now and I can't find a way to sort the list of channels, which BTW, is a very basic feature for all TVs.

    PS. I upgraded TV for the last firware (T8_1_97_09_01_1).

    Best regards

  • Satellite L300 - 20 d - how to restore the settings of Toshiba?

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Satelline L300 - 20 d which has gone wrong a few weeks ago and would not turn on etc. I managed to find a recovery disk that I used. Which proved to be another computer that I have (a Packard Bell). I did not know what that after, so then I tried the correct backup of Toshiba drives and he can't find anywhere. The portable lights now, but there parameters of Packard Bell, etc and I can't seem to do different things as to connect to internet, etc etc.

    What on earth do I do now? How can I get my laptop back to work with the settings of Toshiba?

    I'd appreciate really any help that can be given!

    Thank you very much

    Hey,.

    > so I then looked for the correct Toshiba backup discs and can't find anywhere
    The recovery disks were not delivered with your laptop because you will have to create it yourself using of preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Do you have it as described in the user manual?

    In any case, now it s too late if you have already installed another OS, but you can order it directly in such a Toshiba of Toshiba Recovery disk:
