• Portege R700: Cannot use the two SVGA HDMI on the Port PA3838E-1PRP Port Replicator

  Dear all,

  I have a Portege R700 series (PT311E) and a high speed P/N PA3838E-1PRP port replicator.

  Today, I tried to connect two external monitors on the VGA port and the second HDMI port replicator port.
  Unfortunately, I was not able to configure the laptop / duplicator to * work with external monitors stand *.

  Do not work in this way portable stand and port replicator becomes useless.
  Although it is a default installation on other products manufactured without drivers and special parameters will be needed, I hope that in our case a key combination or a driver may resolve this problem.

  To be even more precise, I don't want to also use the laptop screen. I want to just connect laptop closed and turned off in the duplicator, to turn on the laptop the power button of the port replicator and to have the image on two external monitors.

  Thank you for your quick responses,

  Best regards

  Cristian

  Hello

  What R700-xxx you have exactly?

  How to connect two monitors? Are the two monitors connected only to the Port Replicator or is one of the monitor connected to the laptop and the other monitor is connected to the duplicator?

  Could you please post this?

  I'm not quite sure of HDMI and Port Replicator (PA3838E-1PRP) but many laptops equipped with support DVI dual video output (VGA and DVI) port using Advanced Port Replicator III (PA3314E-1PRP) or Advanced Port Replicator III more (PA3474E-1PRP).
  But this is only possible if the laptop itself supports the simultaneous use of RGB & DVI too.

• Portege R700: HDD/SSD Alert "cannot get disk information.

  The Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert keeps popping up on my Portege R700. It gives the message "failed to get disk information, cannot use the alert function.

  The OS is Windows 7 32 bit. Everything else works well.

  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the HDD/SSD Alert cmdlet and the Intel Rapid Storage driver, but none of the measures have worked.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Thank you

  Try this:

  Remove the application HDD/SSD Alert Control Panel-> programs and features
  Remove the Toshiba Value added Package Panel-> programs and features application
  Reset
  Download and install the latest Package of added value on the Toshiba site
  Download and install the latest HDD/SSD Alert on the Toshiba site

  Otherwise, it would be possible that the problem is related to the HARD drive maybe that alert the program HARD drive cannot read the info of the disk due to HARD drive hardware problem.

• Portege R700-S1321 - cannot set the resolution of 1366 x 768

  I have exactly the same problem, as shown in:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64809

  The resolution of the laptop to random times and intervals seems to support a maximum of 1280 x 700, which translates into a 2 inch black bar on the right side and the button start Windows 7 off the screen.

  Currently its stuck in the resolution of the screen and no matter what I may not make it back to normal 1366 x 768.

  External monitors very well with the laptop work.

  Its 2.20 BIOS execution that seems to me later.

  It seems that the intel driver must get some information that is incorrect.
  Research on different forums and using moninfo, I see that the internal display does not support EDID and settings appear to be set by the registry somehow.

  I also tried to make an EDID override by creating an inf file that is customized with Moninfo, but appears not to the question of the effect.

  I also tried to restore from the recovery many times discs without success.
  During the installation of windows occurs, the screen is fine.
  When Toshiba additional programs are added to the screen returns to the 1280 x 700.
  I suspect that what happens when the graphics driver intel is installed.

  If I boot the laptop in safe mode resolution is 1366 x 768, which seems to suggest that it is the driver who has a problem.

  Anyone else had this issue and understand how to fix it? I see also that intel do not support EDID override.

  Any idea is appreciated. Thank you.

  > If I boot the laptop in safe mode resolution is 1366 x 768, which seems to suggest that it is the driver who has a problem.

  I think you are on the right track, and I think that his untimely pilot.
  That's why I recommend you to uninstall the Intel graphics driver in Device Manager.

  PORTEGE R700-S1321 was equipped with the Intel® Core i5 - 520 M processor and this processor supports the Intel® HD graphics card

  The latest Intel HD driver can be downloaded directly from the page of Intel:
  [Driver for Intel Core with Intel HD Graphics processors | https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics& ProductLine = graphic + portable + pilots & ProductProduct = Intel % C2% AE + Core E2% 84% A2 + processors + with + Intel % 2 C % AE + HD + Graphics & ProdId = 3231 & LineId 1101 = & FamilyId = 39]

  I need to download the zip package.
  Then you can install the driver through Device Manager by using the Advanced installation procedure. This allows you to link directly to this zip package. Windows system would automatically take the driver. After restarting again you that would have settled the last drivers and you should change your resolution.

• Portege R700 internal to screen very dark but can use the external monitor

  Hi guys,.

  just had a question about my Toshiba Portege R700 as the screen went white and I couldn't see the screen or sometimes I could and it was very dark!

  However, the laptop could start up as normal and I could use it normally through an external display!

  Subsequently, I replaced the screen and it started working again (happy days)!
  However, a few weeks down the line the same problem again apparently did screen dies.

  I take off again and disconnect and reconnect the screen just to see if that would solve the problem and he did, back and working again. I even tried the old screen I swapped and that works too!
  So I paid £140 + for a new screen that I didn't need, my question is what is the problem?

  Could not find anything else on this topic so would appreciate any help thanks

  Ross

  Hello

  It is difficult to say what might be wrong here usually black screen can be related to a faulty FL inverter.
  But laptop computer s display supports a backlight Led FL inverter should not be a problem here
  Maybe some loose contacts caused this

• Portege R700 - cannot update the BIOS

  Hello
  I recently bought a Portege R700 19 M and I downloaded the latest BIOS version available in the Toshiba support page and when I run the .exe file, it does not work with this message: "the computer is not supported.
  And when I look in the HWSetup Toshiba tool, it does not display the BIOS version but some weird characters (letters not usual) so I can't find out which version is installed.
  Thank you for your help

  Hey Buddy,

  You update the BIOS to the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?
  Are you logged on as administrator when you try the update?

  To be honest I doubt a problem to update the BIOS because I found other threads where users report that BIOS update was successful.

• How to reset the sensor of fingerprint on Portege R700-174?

  Hello!

  my "problem":

  on my portege (r700-174), I run a win7 (which was preinstalled on your laptop), a victory for 8.1. and for some is true the technical preview of win10

  all systems are protected by password and fingerprints.

  also the win10-test system (for test prints digital-utility in win10)

  now, I deleted an old generation of win10 and do a new install with the latest version

  Unfortunately I forgort to cancel the registration of the fingerprint I had entered with this old win10 - so now this finger cannot be used
  to be entered for the new win10 (or any other system)

  My question

  is it possible to reset it completely (clear all the fingerprints for all systems) the fingerprintscanner out of one of my systems running or to cancel the registration of the
  Fingerprints for this system, which does not exist anymore on my portege?

  Thanks for the tips

  Kurt

  The fingerprints are stored on the fingerprint sensor and you will need to follow the instructions of this Toshiba document to remove your scans of fingerprints.
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/items/FAQ/386

  In the case that this procedure does not work, only the Toshiba certified maintainer would be able to erase fingerprints users digital related privacy information on the fingerprint sensor fingerprint flash.

• Portege R700 - original recovery image re-failed installation

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege R700 for years.
  As I have already some difficulties, I did a reinstall it a few years since the recovery partition. Directly.

  But, a few days ago, I had some problems with my portege.
  HARD drive seems to be broken because it making the noise and was really, really, really,..., very slow.
  Yes, after you perform a backup of the data for hours and hours (remember, it was really, really slow), I run a complete reinstallation of "recovery partition". It seems to be good, but... never finished the process, with the same noise from HDD and slower HARD drive IO.

  OK, my own diadnostic: change the HARD drive.
  This done, and by using the recovery DVD Toshiba just bought (Yes cannot find the DVD of burn of factors), I have the same question.... The recovery process does not end even if im waiting for days...
  And I have the same HARD drive noise. With the new!

  In order to have an MSDN license, I installed a Win7 Pro 32 bit, but not the Toshiba one.

  And he is running for days without any problem!

  But I have to reinstall all the drivers and software supplied by Toshiba.

  Obviouly I prefer to find what exactly is the problem with this Portege and reinstall the version of Toshiba Windows 7 Pro.

  So, if someonre read the story until the question is: NO IDEA?
  How to do a HW diagnosed? How to identify the exact problem?

  Thanks for your help.

  Joel

  It is really strange. You bought brand new HARD drive or you use a old and used as a replacement?
  Have you used recovery disks in the past with success? I mean maybe it's the recovery disc a troublemaker.

• Portege R700 - Autocad 2011 does not recognize the graphics card

  Hello

  I have toshiba Portege R700 with 64-bit win 7 installed.
  I need the computer for use with autocad 2011.

  For some reason any auocad does not recognize the graphics card installed on the computer.
  I suspect it because very little memory is allocated for the graphics card.

  How can I change with the memory allocated for the graphics card, or perhaps, can someone show me where can I find a driver that supports autocad.

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  What Portege R700-xxx you have exactly?
  As far as I know the graphics memory cannot be assigned manually.
  Everything is controlled by the graphics driver and you have no influence on this

  You can try updating the graphics card driver maybe it would help.
  The most recent driver found on the page of the European driver Toshiba
  If not, you should check the manufacturer of the graphics chip driver

  Good luck

• Portege R700 - quick as lightning!

  Despite some reports of 'flaky' and similar operation, I decided to tear off my HARD drive and slap a SSD and W7 Pro 64 bit on my portege R700-184

  flippin heck its the thing to the top fast!

  I used a base of sandforce OCZ Vertex 2 120 GB drive and the Retail Media to install the 64-bit windows. It's with any other firmware or software update for the SSD or Laptop, so right on the box

  Before starting from cold to 95 seconds, down to 23 seconds on the SSD used! and he wakes up from his sleep in 4 seconds! VERY impressed!

  Similarly the 64-bit operating system has improved my WEI scores the CPU is 6.5 to 6.9, the RAM of 5.4 to 5.9 and obviously the SSD took a hard drive of 5.9 to a burning 7.4 :-)

  excellent upgrade in the embryonic stages, I will present long-term stable after that I have all my drivers and running upward and restore my files!

• Portege R700 Wont close or install W7 SP1

  Hello

  I have a Portege R700 for a few months and then only a brilliant notebookI'm having some trouble that I can't find the answer to. I thought I would post the two they could possibly be interrelated.

  First of all, when I am running on battery only my computer usually off. It gets to the Windows stops screen and just hangs. After all of 10 minutes, I have generally give up and manually turn off the machine by holding the power button. This is my desktop computer, it is very rarely used on battery so I have not really worried about it but I want to fix. Also when I use my machine on port replicator, at the office, when I shut down my computer what it comes up with the screen that a program is not responding and force close. I find it strange because there is no program running in time (of course there is probably a background running program).

  The second problem I encounter is that I am trying to install Windows 7 SP1 via the full download of the Microsoft Web site, but when it comes to install the update I get the following error:

  ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING (0 x 80073701)

  I did a search on the web for answers, but all of the patches described did not work. My only other option might be a complete reinstallation of Windows that I hated doing.

  If anyone has solutions that would be great.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Why you are not allowing Windows Update to install updates to the machine? This method usually solves 90% update install problems as the update manager download only the sections of service pack required for your installation/version/version of windows 7?

  How does closing? by pressing the power button or by using the windows menu Start button stop?

  When on the port replicator the error message said exactly? What is the name of the program?

• Portege R700 - problem with fingerprints to connect on Win7

  I have problems with my new Portege R700 with fingerprint reader to log on Win 7 acount.

  I have digital fingerprints installation to the system via the Toshiba fingerprint utility. Several times I can wake up the Portege of sleep or turn it on, fingerprints from the BIOS is accepted, after which appears logon screen in Win7 and in some cases, I'm able to connect automatically to this account. In some cases just system is pending, it is not possible to login with the password. I restart phone, sometimes more than once.

  You can help someone? I have already several times removed, Setup still traces of fingers, I updated the utility and the new driver fingerprint - nothing does not.

  Hello Vava

  Are you using the original recovery image Toshiba (operating system) that you got with your laptop?

• Portege R700 - external DVD Player compatibility

  I have a problem with a Samsung external super-multi drive 2 year with my new Portege R700-1F3, which does not come with a DVD player. The USB powered Samsung dvd player works fine with all other computers that I have access to:
  * MacBook with OS X 10.5
  * Samsung NP - X 360 laptop computer with Windows XP 32-bit
  * Dell Inspiron Zino HD computer desktop with Windows 7 64 bit

  The symptoms are:
  * When the dvd player is plugged in Portege, the green light on the dvd player goes on and out.
  * This happens in the BIOS, and once that Windows 7 32-bit support.
  * In Control Panel Windows 7 devices & printers, the DVD alternately appear & disappear constantly.
  * When it appears, it shows up as "USB storage device" with a yellow! warning icon.

  I tried all 3 USB ports. The power cable is plugged Portege. I tried the turn of the digital signature when starting upwards. The external dvd came free with my old laptop from Samsung and is the model AA-ES0N09B.

  Any suggestion that this is a hardware or software problem and how to fix it?

  Thank you
  Lola

  Hi Lola,.

  Have you tried other USB devices on your Portege R700 if they work properly?

  If peripheral USB do some problems I would try to remove the USB ports from the Device Manager (right click > uninstall) and restart your computer. After that, the USB ports will be recognized again and you are able to use them.

  If it doesn t help I would try a driver update from the official website of Toshiba chipset. http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/
