• Portege M780-10V upgrade questions

  I'm glad my M780-10V and don't plan to change it too early, but I'd like to improve it.

  I upgraded RAM 8 GB, although windows 7 32-bit recognizes only 2,9 GB - ideas?

  Someone tried to move to Windows 7 64 bit, which should make more RAM available.

  Has anyone swapped the drive and installed an SSD, I think also 250GB, I guess that it should be a real boost.

  As for exchanging the i5 to an i7, I don't know who would be worthwhile - seems a costly change - as the i7 does not seem to add a lot by looking at different comparison sites.

  Thanks in advance.

  I upgraded RAM 8 GB, although windows 7 32-bit recognizes only 2,9 GB - ideas?

  Win 7 32-bit as well as 32-bit systems recognize only 3.2 GB of RAM. This is the limit of 32-bit
  Recommended to use the 64-bit system in case you have more than 3 GB of RAM
  Portege M780-10V supports up to 8 GB of RAM so memory upgrade is possible.

  Has anyone swapped the drive and installed an SSD, I think also 250GB, I guess that it should be a real boost.

  The upgrade of the SSD HARD drive is the best move you could make... the performance gain will be noticeable. I made these updates on my Tecra laptop and am very happy with this...

  As for exchanging the i5 to an i7, I don't know who would be worthwhile - seems a costly change - as the i7 does not seem to add a lot by looking at different comparison sites.

  In my opinion, this is not necessary and I wouldn't recommend upgrade you the processor. First of all Toshiba and other laptop manufacturers do not support these updates. No one knows if these updates would not affect the functionality of the laptop, and in the worst cases, the BIOS would not support a new processor.
  At the other hand, you won't see the performance boost using new CPU... in my eyes these updates would be very useful.

• Need software preinstalled for Portege M780

  Hello

  I have reinstalled windows 7 pro on my Portege M780 and I need Toshiba pre installed Apps
  It was 7 Pro 32 bit and clean, I installed 7 Pro 64-bit Iv caught everything that is available in the download section for 7 64-bit, but not all is here.

  I used to have the cam, control rotation of the screen, DVD app and more I'm not even sure what to do as I have only had the day before installing windows :(
  If someone could help that would be great thank you

  PS I can't scanner finger to work anyway, once I installed it and set up com would not start after the login screen but did in safe mode then I disabled in Device Manager. Ideas Anyony Cheers

  I tried the pre installed applications recovery unsuccessfully :(

  Original recovery image that you got with your laptop contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, tools specific to Toshiba and utility and sure some additional software such as a DVD player, an antivirus, Office of test application.

  When you have installed OS on Toshiba download page you will find drivers, tools and utilities only. These additional requests will not be available. That you can have if you install original recovery image.

  Very important information of the end: Toshiba offer all that for operating systems supported only so if you can't find it on the download page, I can just say unlucky.
  In this case, you should try to find the right proposed drivers for other models, but with the same hardware components and it is quite complicated.

• Portege M780-10U frezees when using external LCD

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege M780-10U running Windows 7 (x 32) SP1.
  I've updated all the drivers for the display, BIOS, etc.

  When I connect my Acer G235H laptop screen freezes after about 3 hours of operation.
  Nothing is recorded anywhere, just a complete freeze that requires a hard reset. The fan for the CPU to full power, and then runs once the freeze occurs.

  I'm not under any special graphics applications when it blocks just standard Office 2007 and IE8.
  I've isolated the gel down for display using a HP L1906 monitor and had no gel for 2 days.

  I tried the screen ACER G235H using VGA and HDMI, and I always get some freezes.

  Does anyone have ideas how I can fix this problem?

  Thank you

  > I've isolated the gel down for display using a HP L1906 monitor and had no gel for 2 days.
  For me it's really hard to believe that an external monitor may affect the functionality of the laptop, but it seems that your laptop freezes using only this special monitor (G235H).
  Use of the HP L1906 monitor everything is ok. Is this good?

  Hmm connect you the L1906 monitor to the same port as G235H?
  There may be differences between the external resolutions?

  Sorry mate, but it s really hard to tell what could bring it this maybe s a high temperature problem and perhaps its pure coincidence that freezes it cell phone using the external monitor.

• Portege M780 - names getting not transferred

  Hi guys,.

  Do you have a similar problem on Portege M780, I try to send SMS, I check the number for the name I send but the name not transferred and I had to type it manually myself... very frustrating.

• Portege M780 - 10G: Toshiba Wireless Manager cannot initialize the 3G device

  Hello

  by mistake I deleted connections used by the 3G device to connect broadband.

  Now when I run Toshiba Wireless Manager it attempt to initialize the device of wide band 3G but nothing happens.
  The laptop is a Toshiba Portege M780 10 G, 3G is an Ericrsson F3607gw and the operating system is Windows 7 Professional 32 bit.

  I tried to reinstall Toshiba Wireless Manager and the device 3G driver.

  Please, can you tell how to solve my problem?

  Thank you

  To be honest I don t understand how you could remove connections to broadband?
  However, you should check first if the 3G device is recognized in Device Manager correctly.
  If it is not recognized, this would require a 3G driver installation.

  All parts of the software can be found here:

  Here you will find the description step by step how to set up and establish a 3G connection via the preinstalled Toshiba Wireless Manager?

• Portege M780-106 - the mouse pointer position of the stylus trolling

  Question re Toshiba portege M780-106 touch screen laptop:
  We have a problem with the mouse, the position of the stylus trolling.

  This gap considerably increases the speed of the increase in movement of the stylus.
  As we had a task of monitoring with the stylus it is problematic.

  We run the task in Windows 7 using python 2.6 with mainly pygame library functions.
  Is there a way to disable the process that produces this discrepancy between stylus pointer and mouse?

  Any help much appreciated!

  Best
  Steve

  The CPU is running in performance mode? There may be a delay because the eco mode is activated, or the speed of the CPU has strangled at low speed.

• Face recognition is available for Portege R600?

• Re: Drive Blueray will be available in the Qosmio series?

  You know someone if Toshiba will Bluray player on the new laptops series Qosmio?

  Hello

  I m not very well, but I don t think a Blueray player will be available for a Qosmio series.
  But why change the HD-DVD player and spent a huge sum of money?

  HD DVD in a laptop Qosmio player is fully backward compatible, which means that he also supports the standard DVD - RW SuperMulti (DL). OK, you will not be able to play the Blueray discs, but there are more than 800 titles of movies available for the HD DVD format. In addition, you have full access to most of the content on the planet.

• Portege Z series - the mouse cursor moves its own

  When I start my series Portege Z the cursor of the mouse moves by its own. Alfer several minutes (less than an hour) it stops and it works properly.
  For your information on the laptop, the Antivirus is installed and updated: AVIRA and Spybot

  What I tried to solve the problem:
  (1) I downloaded and installed the latest version of the pointer ALPS driver device that even so the same version was already installed. No result, same behavior
  (2) I tried with an external USB mouse, disable touchpad/pointing stick. No result, same behavior

  Suggestions, please?
  Thanks in advance

  Maybe you can try to start with a Live CD/USB. If this problem occurs also with the OS Live the question is related to laptop. If not, it s a Windows problem and perhaps a recovery would solve the problem.

• Portege M780-102 cursor jumps erratically around while typing

  Just got my new Portege 780-102.
  But irregularly, the cursor jumps around when typing in any application.
  (.. .and no, this isn't my sleeve brushing the mouse pad)

  Search the Web...
  Seems that Toshiba portable computers have a bit of a history with this type of problem .

  There is a suggestion that I have to re - charge the pack of bluetooth applications.
  Try to talk to Toshiba tech.support in the United Kingdom, but they are on a holiday.

  Has anyone else had the same problem and have you known the problem solutions?

  Thanks a mill! Katie x

  Hi mate

  I read on this issue of cursor on the different laptop models (from different manufacturers).
  But in most cases, the users didn't note that the touchpad was accidentally while typing of touchpad.
  You said you checked this hmm but in any case, try to disable the touchpad while typing just for test purposes

  In addition, some have said that the BIOS update can also be useful
  So if the most recent BIOS is available, updated it!

• Re: Need technical information about the CD/DVD with Portege 7200 series writer

  Hello
  just to clarify my last post should have read: CD and DVD rw burner compatible with the laptop above.

  all the best john.

  The Portege 7200 cannot be upgraded with a CD/DVD burner (drive).
  You can buy a dock like [this one | 5QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.ca/Slim-TOSHIBA-Portege-7200-Dockstation-Built-in-DVD-CDRW_W0QQitemZ170200420841QQihZ007QQcategoryZ14008] which provides a feature of CD/DVD drive!

  I m not 100% sure if this docking station can be improved with a CD/DVD burner, but you can try to contact the ASP in your country for details.
  Guys might provide information whether or not this player is available!
