Failure motherboard on Qosmio G30-175

My G30-175 simply refused to power one morning without warning and in the middle of important work. And after about 3 weeks without a backup.

At first, I thought it was a power supply problem and taken to a store and tried other adapters sector and batteries.
I called the warranty and the machine was taken over in a few days.

Repairers diagnosed the problem of the main card and said that I should wait for it to come.
It was a month ago and they don't see a Board to come for another month. They said that they also have other users G30 waiting.
Apart from this nightmare situation, I have the info on my hard drive.

A friendly technology sent my drive and I thought he bung in an enclosed and read it.
Now I find a SATA 2.5 enclosure is hard to get! I have finally a hunted and am awaiting delivery.

Then if it works I have to configure the master drive or slave? If so, how?

How do I know which drive has been sent and I think that it was configured as a raid set up will be giving me problems?

Tech from Toshiba materials are accessible and useful, but there is no number for the customer service

Anyone who suffers from long repair time?
Is this normal?

Hello

Reading some earlier assignments, he has concluded that the replacement of the motherboard cannot be done in a few days. As far as I know service must send defective Board back and they will get a new. It also depends on the country where the repair must be made. You know that sending package takes different time for different countries.

There's nothing unusual in my view 3 or 4 weeks.

    I have PC laptop Toshiba Qosmio G30-175. I was working fine until last week. But all of a sudden screen looks funny disappeared.
    When I start the laptop, it starts well and windows start too thin.
    But a few early screen minute flicker and everything on the screen disappear and all the screen do cover with kind of pixels.

    Could someone please advice me, what went wrong for this laptop. Is the motherboard or card went graph.
    If so, how can I get it fixed at a great price.
    Is it possible to change the graphics card.

    much thanks

    Hi mate

    I think I have bad news for you.
    According to your description the graphics card chip begins to malfunction, and I think you have only one chance to solve this problem; the defective part must be replaced!

    I would recommend so contact the nearest authorized service partner in your country and ask for later handling.

    Sorry mate but it isn't alternative :(

    Good luck

  • Qosmio G30-175 - where to find RAID driver for Windows 7?

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-175 and I need raid driver so I can install Windows 7. My operating system is XP and on Toshiba-home page, I can't find the driver.

    Hello!

    Have you ever tried the Vista driver? If this isn't the case, you need to test, because most of the Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7.

  • Looked for a driver updated - should I all? Qosmio G30-175

    Hello people, new user here Toshiba.
    Last week, I bought a Qosmio G30-175. After an installation of Bluetooth problem, all right.
    I updated the BIOS updated today v1.70 (even if the version of Windows would not work)!
    I thought I'd do a search updates of pilot and I find 86 updates appear!
    Someone could tell me if all of these updates are only available for use, or my laptop especially requires all these updates?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    What? 86 drivers?
    Are you sure? I checked the driver Toshiba Qosmio G30 - 175 page (PQG30E) and found only 50 drivers for Windows XP MCE.
    But two entries in the list of 50 drivers! For example there are 2 BIOS, 2 LAN drivers, different modem drivers, etc. listed.

    In the installation instructions document, you must install only the drivers and utilities that are listening. This guide line is important and if you install the Toshiba drivers manually, you should follow this guide line.

    You will also find the document in the section of the driver

  • Qosmio G30-175: DVD player - RAM, it's a CD player

    Hello people, I once again.

    My 2 week old Qosmio G30 - 175 has a DVD-RAM drive that now appears in my computer as a CD player. As a result (I think) it will not automatically DVD playback. I can play manually through the media library or WMP, but no option does appear in the properties of the drive for auto, DVD playback.

    Can someone tell me why this happened? It is used to appear as a DVD - RAM drive. The only thing I did was to install Nero Premium. Who would have something to do with it?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Some people here in the forum have had problems with burning and DVD recognition because the different burning applications were installed on the operating system.
    Try to remove the other burning software and use only Nero.

  • Qosmio G30-175: why the properties system tell Media Center 2002 and not 2005?

    Hello

    I have a qosmio g30-175, it says on the sticker of the authentication windows on my laptop computer Media center 2005, the problem is that when I check the system properties in Control Panel, it says units media center 2002 SP2. I find it confusing, Toshiba gave me the wrong version, or is it quite normal.

    I installed windows by using the recovery disk of the product came with my computer.

    Thank you.

    Don't worry man. Everything is ok! You have a MCE 2005 version

    You have simply checked versions MCE in the wrong way!
    If you want to check the MCE versions open media center, click on "settings", then click "about media center". The version of MCE will appear.

    What you're watching now is the version of XP/OS. The XP is the Foundation for MCE. ;)

  • Qosmio G30 - 175 GB nVidia series 7600 Code 10/43

    I recently updated my G30-175 of windows update (Windows XP), then I started getting a "Code 10" on my chipset nVidia Go 7600 series. Since this happened I tried to roll back the graphics driver (when that happens first,) which when it restarts it worked very well, and I then shut down the system. When I started again the next day, I had the same problem of Code 10.

    I tried to use a restore of the system, but to no avail. I decided to uninstall the graphics drivers and install the Toshiba drivers, those for winXP and everything I got was Blue Screen of Death, once to start in safe mode, I uninstalled the driver, and recommended installed nVidia Driver (beta version 179,48 for winXP) I've also tried a few more nVidia drivers that I found for the Go 7600 and the result remained the same "Code 10" cannot start device.

    I read a lot of blog to this topic for series 7, 8 and 9, who generally say that there are "Problems" with the pilots, and to use the windows update the nVidia drivers. I tried this and still no change.

    Not seen floppy disks of origin for the laptop, I decided to take it on myself and upgrade of the 2x512mb RAM sticks to 2x2gb DDR3 laptop RAM, the system started very well and I decided to install windows 7, from what I read, it was the best option (for Office 7 cards of the series) (, after not found 'NO' blog on the Go 7 series) after installing win7 chipset began to work properly, it's up to windows update, and once again, the same "Code 43 windows reports errors and the unit stopped.

    I tried the Windows7 Drivers to support Toshiba, once again BSOD, I tried to reinstall the windows update the nVidia drivers, and the drivers from the nVidia site (179.48 version beta for Windows Vista/7), which none are working.

    I tried to solve this problem now for 10 days and not a glimmer of hope. It is possible that the chipset is not, however, I think it's a malfunction of the software, it is also a coincidence that when I update windows, I get a chipset failure.

    Any help is good help.

    Thanks for listening

  • Qosmio G30-175: how to install Qosimo Player after changing RAID

    I noticed on my G30-175 x 2 80 GB hard drive, I had the opportunity to do RAID1 but don't want that.
    I want RAID0, I understand that I have to rebuild, said drivers on the disk that is ready to go, but I noticed that the player seems to use a small partition on the hard disk 1.
    After I changed the raid settings in the Bios I assume that that info will be lost so now, during reconstruction, which will be reinstalled from the cd rocevery aswell?

    Help me please

    Hello

    You re right. Changing the settings in the BIOS RAID leads to loss of data on the hard drives.
    = RAID0 mirroring. This means that all data are saved on the first HARD disk will also be stored on the HARD drive second.

    So I guess that the Qosmio Player will be installed on the first HARD drive on a small partition.
    Do you have the Qosmio Player recovery CD?
    If Yes, then you should be able to reinstall this application.

    Note: To my knowledge the recovery CD contains only the operating system, drivers and utilities but not a Qosmio Player. So you must install it in addition form the Qosmio CD player!

  • Question about the memory of the speeds on Qosmio G30-175

    Hi all

    I have a G30 - 175 and it came with 1gig of memory. and the other day I went to pc world and bought a 2 giga upgrade. The seller asked me what memory speed would I like for my laptop, knowing that the ddr2 at 533 mhz memory, so I asked for it.

    When I came home and replaced the memory, I noticed that the memory supplied with the laptop was actually s pc2-4200 ddr2 533 mhz. the memory that I got from pc world was of the pc2-4300 ddr2 at 533 mhz.

    It would be allowed to go ahead and install this memory, or should I expect pc2-4200?

    Thanks in advance

  • A few questions on Qosmio G30-175

    I am very satisfied of this laptop who purchased at a reduced price when upgraded all hard drives (2 x 80 GB is plenty for me).

    A few questions.

    1. the antenna (not the SCART) seems to be a little loose at the back. I had not noticed this before, has it become loose or is it some slack to allow easy access?

    2 with the system restore. Something I used to do often on my old satellite. It's easy with the G30 i.e ghosts in quite complete set?

    3. what tips are there for this particular model on Vista? Ive read on the problems of raid and so on for other people, I was wondering if someone had done and shares their experience

    Sorry for the many questions, but I have lurked long enough! ;)

    AHS

    (1) has not noticed any loose on the antenna to the computer plug phone back.
    But in my opinion if it has no negative influence on the quality of TV or picture then you can life with that. If this is not the case, make a call to the technician. He should take a look at this Jack.

    (2) the Windows XP System Restore tool is a useful application if you want to restore the starting point of you OS. I use it several times

    (3) Please check this forum category. You will find a few discussions on Vista and RAID on the Qosmio laptop

  • Qosmio G30 - 175 - need a good market 17 inch screen

    4 years and still going strong I thought? Power over heating (replaced) next VGA chip problem IE lead solder used over time develops and works only in standard VGA, had this repaired at a cost of £165.00 (worked well for 3 works). Display 17 inch now has 4 lines on extreme right what a bummer.

    HELP ANY ONE GOT A 17 INCH CHEAP CHEAP SCREEN.

    email me [email protected]

    My other Qosmio F10 15.4 now 7 years old and had a use, GREAT working never had a problem.

    Hey Buddy,

    I'm sorry to hear that, but it seems that it was just bad luck. These things can happen still independent how old your notebook is and how many times you used it. Laptop is an electric element, so no one can say how long the parts works properly.

    In any case, now, it is important you find a screen new and cheap. At first I contact an authorized service provider and ask the guy how much it would cost. They can order the parts for you.

    If you are familiar with disassembly laptop second hand up as eBay would be also interesting for you. If you find a second hand display, you can replace it yourself, second hand parts are generally much cheaper and it would be worth a try.

    But maybe someone else here is a screen for you and make you an offer by e-mail. I hope so. ;)

  • Qosmio G30 - 175 display starts to blink and walk and becomes unusable

    After a while my Qosmio display starts to Flash and works and becomes unusable.

    A friend suggested that it was overheating.

    So I've equipped with feet to the rear to raise him up to an inch.

    It seemed to work for a while, but now it is restarted.

    Has anyone encountered this problem?

    I wonder if I can increase the speed of the fan in some way...

    David H

    The idea with the breeding of the portable back was pretty good, but have you checked vents for eventual dust? If you find that some of them, use the jet of compressed air to clean.

    Also, I recommend a reinstall of your chipset and display drivers.
    I think there are tools around the internet to control the fan speed, NHC is one of them, but they are only 3 third party programs, you can use them at your own risk.

  • Qosmio G30-175: can I receive DVB - T signals with Qosmio player?

    Hi all

    Is this only analog TV on the Qosmio player or can I use the DTV? (DTV fine in windows)

    Digital DVB works fine when started in Win Media Library but became only analog TV using only qosmio

    Thank you very much
    Franky

    Hello

    I'm sure that the Qosmio player receives DVB - T signals, but only analog TV signals.
    That's why you use MCE to watch DVB - T TV

  • Need help with upgrade from WXP MCE for Vista Ultimate on Qosmio G30 - 175

    Hi all, I tried to search for the problem following without success so I would be very grateful if someone could help and point me in the right direction:

    "Tried to upgrade XP to ultimate and he arrived at the stadium and BSOD unpacking" Session3_initialization_failed (xxx STOP: 0x0000006F (0xC000009D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) appeared several times.) I tried again and the same thing happened.

    I have already updated the BIOS and stripped the conflict out of the suite of Toshiba of programs and update Advisor gave the OK on several occasions before attempting this exercise.

    Help... Dave

    I forgot to mention also that I'm running with 2 x 2 GB of Ram and no software or additional material has been added before attempting the upgrade. The medium I use to upgrade is that a full version recently bought 32-bit Vista Ultimate (which also includes a 64-bit in the box version, too).

    I was in contact with Microsoft Support these days and they told me that my hard drive seems to be defective as the reason for the failure of the upgrade. Infact last week with Microsoft on the phone did us try a clean install, but that just lead to me having to give up the clean installs and rescue my laptop back to original XP MCE... flipping hell!
