Connection S/PDIF on Qosmio F30-111

Hello, I need some information on the use of the digital audio output on qosmio.

It seems to have a 3.5 s/pdif out Jack (shared with headphones).

There are 2 audio cables type digital: toslink optical and coaxial 75 Ohm RCA.

Is possible to use a coaxial cable with a 3, 5 mm jack to RCA converter?
Or the only way is to use a cable with 3.5 jack converter toslink optical?

It's RCA-> Jack 3, 5mm Converter: http://aka.fotovista.com/dev/3/3/46000533/g_46000533.jpg
It's cable Toslink, Jack 3, 5mm converter and more: http://aka.fotovista.com/dev/7/5/46000157/g_46000157.jpg

I'm not an audio specification, but I found some interesting info:

(1) coaxial RCA is the most popular Digital Audio connection. Cables and connectors have an impedance of 75 Ohm and used to connect DVD players, CD and some DAT recorders to multi-channel surround sound (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc) equipment. RCA is often replaced by BNC connections on certain high end equipment.
(2) Toslink is a coaxial digital audio connection fiber optical version and is used in the same applications as the coaxial. Most of the newer devices has a connection to toslink cables. In applications where the source or receiver has only coaxial connections the signal can be converted to Toslink using a decoder.

In my opinion if you want to use the SPDIF digital audio output, so you must use cable Audio optical Toslink/SPDIF.

  • Need systemboard Qosmio F30-111

    Hello

    I need a new systemboard for a Qosmio F30-111? (PQF30E-00Z00QDU). The video card is faulty. I live in the Netherlands and it is impossible to find a new systemboard. Can someone help me find one or more companies that can fix it like they do in the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, you have a company that can fix without replacing the motherboard (http://www.laptoprepair1.co.uk/laptop-vga-video-repair.html), but they only repair it for the citizens of the United Kingdom only.

    Thanks in advance,
    Charles

    Hmm, motherboards are designed specifically for the single computer series laptop and if you want to buy a motherboard for your Toshiba laptop you will need to contact the ASP in your country.
    Guys should be able to order it directly from Toshiba.

    However, you can view some websites like Ebay for a flea market.

    Good luck

  • Upgrade Vista on Qosmio F30-111

    Hello world

    Thought IA´m, purchase a Qosmio F30-111.
    It comes with XP but I want to upgrade to Vista. Everyone set to upgrade to Vista in this specific model without any problem? I already heard that upgrading to Vista in some Qosmio models is a pain...

    Thank you very much help

    Hello

    The installation is easy, but don't forget to install the RAID driver first!
    Without this driver, you will not be able to install the OS on the HARD drive!
    But all the drivers are available on the Toshiba page.

    The new facility is more appropriate to replace the upgrade from XP to Vista because not all XP utilities are compatible with the new Vista operating system!

    Check it out.

  • Qosmio F30-111: no sound after the update of the 3.40 BIOS & Vista installation

    Hello!

    I have a Qosmio F30-111, originally with Windows MCE and all devices works fine, but I made an update of firmware BIOS to 3.40 (before was a version 1.x).

    Later, I installed Windows Vista Ultimate and all devices has been recognized very well (with Toshiba Vista drivers), but the sound was not working!
    The situation was:
    -The sound device has been recognized;
    -The MIC works (but I can't hear it);
    -The speakers do not work!<- the="" real="">

    Now I installed the recovery CD and I'm new to Windows MCE, but noise have the same problem... is recognized, but the speakers do not work.
    I have no idea what to do... I don't know if it is possible to restore the firmware (I think that was the problem).

    Don't forget: the audio device works, the works of Media Player, but I can't hear the sound (Yes, the volume is high and is not dumb)

    Sorry for my bad English,
    Thank you very much!

    Hello Md2

    You can hear the noise if you plug headphones into the audio?

    If there is his helmet and then the audio device works well.

    If not, then disconnect all devices external usb and start a clean installation of vista (not upgrade, but booting from the vista cd)

    don't forget to put the RAID driver on cd or diskette or usb flash key before doing the clean install of vista.

  • Qosmio F30-111 - graphics card problem

    Hello

    My laptop does not show any other resolution than the usual text resolutions (starting).
    The laptop is almost useless with this problem.

    The problem occurred when playing a computer game in the resolution of 1280 x 800 regular graph (for windows).
    The screen went black, but has no power lost. I had to restart from power button / stop.

    Windows XP (from toshiba) gives a blue screen after the splash screen during startup.
    Also, I have Linux and Xorg reports a fatal error when starting driver NVIDIA, so I cannot use the computer in mode terminal linux, no X mode. But I can still use Linux mode of expression and access to all files.

    When I start the screen also has a strange color mode. In text mode, many letters is brighter than others. This happens in installation mode and Terminal in Linux mode.

    Other strange things things I noticed recently, that is the FAN makes noise more now due to the temperature higher CPU (2 to 3 weeks).
    Sometimes reaching 100aº C (which has never happened before). In recent months, the laptop was still in the Office at home.

    I bought the computer round of June 2007, is still under warranty (2 years in the Portugal), and I registered it on the toshiba site.
    Currently, I live in Poland. Can I retrieve my warranty in Poland and try to solve the problem here? (I'm Portuguese).

    Hello

    Looks like the graphics card began to malfunction.
    Therefore, you must contact the ASP as soon as possible.

    I think that you can contact the ASP in Poland to help him, because all laptops are covered at least 1 year international limited warranty carry-in.
    As the name says it of a international warranty and if the warranty is valid the ASP in Poland should be able to help.

  • Need, updated traditional BIOS for Qosmio F30-111

    I would like to get the update of the traditional BIOS as described in updating BIOS FAQ. I have not installed to update windows. (and I don't want to install it)

    If anyone can provide it? version 3.90.

    Thank you

    Hello

    As far as I know, Toshiba driver European page ONLY provides updates of BIOS based VICTORY.
    The trad-BIOS updates are not available on the page of the driver. I think that the traditional BIOS update can be downloaded only by an ASP, so you the user and the password entry.

    Try to contact the ASP in your country and maybe you could get this BIOS by technicians

    I installed OS using DVD recovery successfully. It has been for a long time and if I remember well, you must change the RAID settings in the BIOS on page 3.

    I think it should be 1-RAID-0. Check it please this document http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6901K60006R01.htm

  • Qosmio F30-117: Impossible to establish FTP connections

    I have a Qosmio F30-117, windows XP, Norton Internet security.
    When I try to FTP to my site I get FTP connection failed.

    I tried it on a friends computer and the connection has been established the first time.
    When I joined my laptop to its broadband - no FTp connection. This eliminates at least my router.

    I tried to disbale parts of Norton Internet Security, without success.

    Help?

    Hello

    so if I were you I would completely disable the Norton software and make sure that the Windows Firewall is to leave you hollow. If not, you should check if your friend has put in place properly. If you want to test that your machine is able to connect via FTP, then go to www.kernel.org and enter an ftp address.

    Open your favorite FTP client, and then try to connect. If the connection fails really then double check all the settings and try again. I think that the problem is so low that everybody he oversees everything. ;)

  • No audio connection Qosmio F30 to LCD TV

    Hi all - of course, it's a very basic question, but I am a novice. I'm trying to connect a F30 to a LCD TV. I can connect and get no video but I have no chance with audio. What is the best option to connect the F30 to a LCD TV to the audio and video? It is a HDMI cable? F30 does it take?

    Sorry, stupid questions, but I have no idea.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You can connect to the laptop to the TV using the cable HDMI ONLY if both devices would be supported by the HDMI port.

    Can I ask you how you connect the Qosmio F30 TV? What cable did you use?

  • Qosmio F30: Can not connect to internet with WiFi safely

    I recently purchaced a Toshiba Qosmio F30 laptop and have spent the better part of two days trying to connect to wireless internet. After constantly call Wanadoo (my provider) and accusing them for all this, I thought that the laptop itself is at fault.

    What happens is when I try to enter my network key (WEP), default is a different key that I can't see that it's all in the points! This continues to be and im am totally unable to enter my network key. Until it is I turn off security on my livebox thingy and connect unsecurely and as I live in close proximity apartments, other people can and probably will connect to my internet, and I am also told that makes me more at risk of viruses and other.

    I apologize for my lack of technical jargon, and that I can not give a more descriptive... uh... description, but I'm just a beginner and not the most in computer science.

    Any help would be appreciated more!... Why is nothing simpler!

    Hi Luke,.
    Have you tried WAP (shared key) instead of WEP.
    In this way, you will need to make your own key instead of having the it generated by the router.
    It is also safer.

    To do this, you must enter the settings of your router (usually http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1), enter the password provided by Wanadoo, then click Security. Change the setting WEP WAP (or shared key) and enter a 10digit password then you will need to enter it again when your computer tries to connect to the router again.

    It is best to use a wired connection to change settings, then disconnect the cable and wireless.
    If you notice that you are connected wireless to the router, and your internet connection is dead, temporarily disable the LAN (reactivate when you are satisfied with your connection works). This would happen if your computer includes your wireless network connection to other computers and the wired connection like you internet connection (even if there is no wire connected).

    It is also important to change the administrator name and password to access your router (this would prevent your neighbors children playing to change your settings).
    Let me know if you have more problems.

  • Qosmio F20-111: need drivers Vista-&gt; Can I use drivers for F30?

    I couldn't find a driver for my laptop vista. Can I use F30 drivers for my laptop F20?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Of course, you can try to install the drivers of Qosmio F30 but the question is: drivers Vista F30 will work?
    I think you should be able to install Vista on your F20.
    But you will not be able to use the additional features of Toshiba Toshiba controls, keys FN, etc.

    PS: I found very beautiful thread in the Qosmio G20 section.
    Some of the guys discussed about Vista on the G20. Now for the G20 Vista drivers are not available, but FranciscoJr has handled this problem.

  • Re: Problem with Qosmio F30-140 VGA card

    Hi all

    My Qosmio F30 suddenly developed a green lines/pixels on the screen. The same problem exists even before logining windows.
    The card (nvidia go 7600) video under the device manager has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. I tried reinstalling the VGA driver, but nothing has changed.
    I think it is a hardware problem (GPU), but I don't know if there is anyway to fix it. Please notify.

    It's certainly the hardware problem. What you can do to confirm this is to connect external monitor to your laptop to see if the same thing will happen. If so, the GPU is defective and if not display's troublemaker.

    What you can do to solve this problem? Not much. Material exchange is your only solution.

  • Qosmio F30-112 - small strips and dots on the screen

    Hello

    I need help, my laptop (Qosmio F30 - 112) have a problem.
    When I started it scratch on the screen and flashes.
    Then if I try to reboot it works, but not normal; still have a small scratches and dots on the screen.
    I checked it on the Device Manager NVIDIA GForce with a yellow mark.
    I tried to uninstall it but nothings happened.

    Please some body help me what to do in this case?

    And if you have to replace the VGA CARD, is it possible to upgrade? and what (NVIDIAGforce) parts are compatible for my laptop (RAM memory upgraded 4 GB 320 GB hard drive and windows 7 Home premium)

    Thank you
    rtmasagca

    Hello

    Have you tried to install or update the display driver?
    Please check this because the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager may mean that the display driver is missing and so the graphics card does not work properly.

    Otherwise, it could be a GPU problem.
    This can be tested easily; connect an external monitor and check if the same stripes, points would be visible on the monitor that is eternal.

    If Yes, then it s certainly a GPU problem.
    In this case, only the replacement of the motherboard might help.
    Also, upgrade is not possible.
