• Start Qosmio G20 problem

  I have laptop Qosmio G20, I got error message that my WinXP lost some system files and did not start. I tried to start Windows XP again (I lost the rescue floppy), but my Installer hunged up after 1 minute.

  I tried several other bootable disks including Linux but failed. I suspect this problem in BIOS, I downloaded the BIOS from the Toshiba site, but I have not found all the files PDF with instruction how to create bootable CDs for update of the BIOS listed on the Toshiba site.

  Maybe the problem is in CD/DVD recorder.
  What other way to start my Qosmio G20, I have no USB floppy?

  What do you think of hard drive? Is also possible that you have problems with hard drive?

• Qosmio G20 - won't start, error ATA #1

  I have a G20-102. Today I opened my flash drive and files all showed them as shortcuts. I tried to connect to Firefox 4 and a warning from AVG threat came pointing to C:\windows\system32\mssrv32.exe (Tr/Crypt.xpack.Gen3) as a Protection of identity. I opted for the "Move to vault" option and asked to restart

  Now my pc won't start - I get the Qosmio screen, ATA error #1 (CD player has been removed) and then the screen "rolls" - looks like random pixels flashing on the screen. I'm trying to start safe mode, but F5, F8 or any Fkey is not doing

  To make things worse, the CD rom has been removed, faulty, so I can't boot from another device. I don't have a USb in the BIOS, only FDD option which I did not

  Help, please

  Hey,.

  To me, it looks like a serious hardware malfunction

  You could try to load the default settings in the BIOS. Enter in the BIOS, and then press the F9 key to load defaults. Then save & exit the BIOS and try to start again.

  The HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS? If so I try a recovery disk Toshiba recovery installation and check if the problem is hardware or software partners.

• Qosmio G20-114 does not start

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G20-114 that no longer starts. No display.

  It turns on, the fan starts and you can hear the movement of HARD drive, but there is no display (not even if I plug in an external monitor).

  It was Windows XP. All of a sudden stopped working for no apparent warning, no blue screen or the warning signs.

  When I turn on the laptop I get a few lights on the keyboard space. (The light above the icon of TV, two lights and the light above the icon for media player, the power button just below the arrows)

  I was surfing the internet all day for a solution and tried most of the workarounds proposed, for example; Take the battery and the charger out, leave for 10 minutes and then only replace the charger and try to switch on. Also; Remove a strip of RAM (and trade) and remove all the RAM. Still no luck, however.

  I had an internal beep of her, but only once, it was 3 Quick beeps. Nothing since.

  I'm willing to try any suggestion, although I like to keep the files on the HARD drive because of family photos and which do not.

  All suggestions greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  A frustrated user of Toshiba.

  I think your problem is not how to save data to the HARD drive. You can remove the HARD drive and connect it to the other laptop using the 2.5 external HARD drive enclosure.
  HARD drive will be recognized as external device and you should have full access to all stored data.
  Do this if possible.

  On this virtual path it is not possible to provide an accurate diagnosis and to say with certainty what can be the problem, but I assume that the LCD is maybe defective.

  Start your laptop and wait a while. Connect your laptop to an external device, and then try to use the FN + F5 key combination. Just to see if you will be able to switch between mode of laptops LCD and external monitor.

• Qosmio G20 does not start

  Hello

  Something is happening with my Qosmio G20.
  Sometimes when I connect the plug to the computer the DC IN indicator flashes orange and the pc does not start.
  A few hours later I try again and now DC IN indicator shows blue and I can boot my pc and I normally work for hours.
  It's very strange. It happens regularly. A few days shows blue and works very well and some other orange flashes of days and I can't work and I have to keep trying to connect and disconnect until it flashes blue to put on.

  Wouldn't be DC Power Charger malfunction? I've already ordered another of DC power charger to confirm, but my intuition says that is not the problem of the charger.
  I remember the 1st time that never happen... I was charging my iPod through my Qosmio and out of the House and let it load it. When I arrived home, the laptop power light flashes orange and I thought it was in hibernation mode. But after that time it started to happen.
  Before trying the new charger and reflections before sending it to the dealer?

  Thank you

  This flashing provides an error code which means that an error has been detected on the motherboard.
  It is difficult to say what could be possibly wrong power supply to electronic malfunction
  But this is only my personal opinion

  You should certainly contact someone who could verify the material and can run diagnostics tests

• Qosmio G20 147: start-up time takes a bit of time than usual

  Greetings to everyone out there in the land of the QOSMIO awareness! My G20-147 boot time seems to take longer and longer. Why?

  Hi Franklin

  In my opinion, it depends on the configuration of the personal computer and installed applications. As you start to process all applications listed in the Startup should start and if you have a lot of them that can take a longer time.

  In my opinion that you should don t worry about hardware (HARD drive) the features but you should check what unnecessary applications start automatically with Windows startup. You can check it out if you go to START > RUN > MSCONFG > OK. Under STARTUP tab it has listed all the applications that start with Windows. Remove the check mark in front applications you don t need initially.

  To make the fastest device also run Defragmenter and disk cleanup tools.

• Start-up jingle on Qosmio G20 114

  Hi all

  Please could someone help me.

  As soon as I turn my G20 I am greeted by a jingle surprisingly strong until the thing begins to start. I can't find how to calm it.

  Ideally, I would like to disable this noise altogether. Is there someone who could advise me how to do this.

  Thank you very much

  William

  Hello, William

  I'm sure you can use the volume knob to reduce the noise level. I don't know, but in my opinion this jingle can not be disabled.

• Qosmio G20-108 - does not start

  Just buying the G20 - 108 worked OK for about 2 months. Now, after being in charge of the day to the next, powers, gives the startup sound, the lights on the keyboard, power backlight the display but does not start. Sometimes after 3-4 minutes tune windows startup can be heard, not always.

  Hello

  You see the Toshiba BIOS screen after turning on the laptop?
  You can access the BIOS?

  If you see something on the screen and access the BIOS, I would recommend load default settings here.

  But, generally speaking, for the moment, it is difficult to say why this happens, so you should test step by step.

• Qosmio G20 slow start and restart

  My G20 becomes slower and slower when it starts. I still like the laptop and it s design still makes me believe s the laptop more beautiful that I've ever seen (in my opinion still improve the design then the new Qosmio s).

  So I m using 80 GB hdd2 in each total of 160 GB disk...
  I m using now 72 GB in a HARD drive and 10 GB on the other. So much free space in a single disc, but the laptop is too slow start about 3 min.

  I t n planning restore and clean the system of all the
  Any advice? Gather the HDD0 and space of two disks will be more fast laptop?

  It s 2 GHz speed and 2 GB memory.
  Thank you

  Hey Buddy

  You slow startup and startup has nothing to do with the HARD drive space.
  Your laptop could start slowly, due to a large amount of processes that run in the context of the operating system!

  What you could do, is first the msconfig and disable unnecessary applications in the Startup tab.

  Use some applications cleaning CCLeaner (tool free) i.e. to clean the operating system and the registry. Last but least could not defragment the HARD disk to improve performance.

  See you soon

• Qosmio G20-118: System start slowly - restore?

  Hi guys,.

  1 day to another, start windows on my G20-118 has become slower. Windows starts as usual, but all programs related to communication take 2 minutes to start until I can connect to the internet. If I open IE in the meantime it is not yet available for dial-up dialog box until the rest is responsible. Clues?

  I thought about restoring the system but would like to avoid it if possible. If I restore it, however, it will clean completely the two hard disks or can I save files in one of them?

  Thanks for your help.
  Pedro

  Hello

  There are many reasons why the operating system becomes slow.
  Sometimes if many background process runs on the entire operating system then BONES need a bit more to run applications.
  Also a virus or antivirus programs that are running on the operating system could cause such slow performance.
  But as you said earlier that the new installation of the OS could solve these problems.
  If you have 2 partitions on the HARD disk, so all that you back up important files on the second partition, and only the first partition is removed during the installation of the new operating system.
  On the recovery CD, you will find 2 options for recovery.
  Standard and expert mode.

  In expert mode, you can choose the partition where the OS is to be installed.
  Use the 'advanced search' to search for topics on the expert mode recovery procedure

• Qosmio G20 - error TOS0002 when starting

  Hello people, help please if you can.

  Spin a Qosmio G20 (PQG21E)

  Have just re installed windows XP Recovery disk ME, (system crashes earlier), when re-startup error TOS0002 appears.

  Have been through the process of Winhex, as described in a previous thread, but is not no matter what diference.

  Here is the twist. If I boot with the recovery disk in and do not press any button, after a message ntldr failed the system starts fine.

  Can we get out there give me a solution to this very annoying problem, am at my wits end?

  Hi John

  From my personal experience, I know that the Qosmio G20 supports RAID functionality.
  Different RAID settings can be changed in the BIOS.

  In my opinion, you should check whether the RAID settings are on 1RAID-0 or / and RAID-1

  Sometimes the bad RAID don t parameters allow to install the operating system or cause strange error messages.

  Best regards

• Screen is blank when Qosmio G20 starts up

  When I turn on my Qosmio G20-110 I hear the usual chimes and on my LCD backlight lights up but nothing else on the screen.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Have you plugged an external monitor to the laptop? Maybe it s something wrong with the display internal and so you can see anything on this subject. It s worth a try because you can check this in a few minutes.

  But I guess that it s a hardware problem with the display internal and/or mainboard or something other than your laptop must be verified in professional people, they can disassemble the laptop and exchanging parts of equipment.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest service provider authorized good luck!

• Qosmio G20 - how to start Qosmio Player mode?

  Hello

  I'm sorry, my English is bad.

  I recently bought a used Toshiba G20 with no CD. I installed Windows 7 and now I want to install QosmioPlayer. I downloaded the recovery cd of qosmio F10 and G10/G20, player recorded on a CD and installed successfully selection mode [1]. Now, I don't know how to activate the qosmio player? Help, please?

  Thank you

  Good day

  It's so old phone model and I m wondering you installed Win7 on it, but if it works well, it's really cool.

  I do not remember how it exactly works with Qosmioplayer but it is described in the document of the user s manual to check first: http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/userman-en-20071026083641.zip

  I hope that you have installed Qosmioplayer correctly. It should be installed on unallocated 200 MB of free space on the HARD drive.
  Qosmioplayewr has nothing to do with the OS and it is the small application based on Linux to watch TV, movies on DVD or CD listening without booting the operating system.

• Error starting random on Qosmio G20

  Hello

  My Qosmio, early - 2 years - a sequence error startup strange and random.

  If I use everyday on my qosmio, at each startup, it seems ok.
  But if I do not use my qosmio for 3 or 4 days or more and I start my computer, I do not understand:
  Error, no boot, the white blink cursor is left at the top of the screen and the cpu fan runs fast and strong.

  Then I press the power button for 4 seconds and then restart the Qosmio. And it works normally. This problem is present, with or without power supply.

  Last month, I reinstall all my Windows XP system and reinstall all my programs and data. I was happy, no error but... 3 days later, without using it, I use it and same issue.

  What kind of curious question, randomly, I have on my qosmio?

  Thank you.

  Really strange sounds, but have you tried to update your BIOS? If this isn't the case, it would be a good idea to try it.

  Otheriwise I wonder why you contact an authorized service of didn t associated to check this problem. I mean, you probably ran out of warranty and now it would cost you to make them perform a health check on equipment.

  But if you still have a warranty on your machine then go [here | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_whitepaper.jsp?service=EU&WHITEPAPER_ID=0 000000871], contact the nearest in your country and send your qosmio it for a stock of health/repair of equipment.

  See you soon
