Graphics dead on Qosmio G10-126

Hello

My graphics card died after a freeze - red lines in windows... restart and... nothing!
Connect an external monitor does not help, I even can't hear when I turn on.

So what can I do with my notebook of 2800 euros which has 2.5 years? I can send it in a garbage can?
How much cost a motherboard and where I can find one?
I live in France and I don't see anything to buy a motherboard for this laptop.

Thank you. I'm really desperate :(

Hello

It's very sad to hear that! :(
This really looks like a malfunction of the GPU (graphic processor unit).
This graphics chip is fixed on the plateau and in the majority of cases, the whole Board needs to be replaced!
As you know, these hardware problems could still happen because the new age books are of the high-end products that work always with high performance.
That s nothing unusual.

As you probably know, a new motherboard is not good cheap.
The Board of Directors and the LCD are the more expensive parts that belong to the laptop!
I recommend you search on the net for a second hand G10 with a motherboard works.
The last rescue would be an ASP in your country!

But why you didn't buy an extended warranty?
I bought a year ago from G20 and I bought an extended warranty on avoid such troubles.
So, I always recommend buying the extended warranty in the future.

Good luck and best regards

  • Problem of graphics card on Satellite P20 552 & Qosmio G10

    Hallo,

    I have two 17-inch monitors computers laptop Toshiba as desktop replacement: 1 x Satellite P20 552 & 1 x Qosmio G10.
    Both are dead graphics card problem.
    The conclusion of my research on the WEB, it's the nVidia FX Go5700 card seems to be the weak point of these laptops.

    On the Satellite Map dies slowly: during startup Toshiba logo disappeared but WinXP logo was very good load, then WinXP loaded with the screen not refreshing and the problem of synchronization, etc..
    The Qosmio died suddenly: activities on the hard drive I guess load WinXP, but black screen (internal and external)!

    I know that, unlike the desktop computer, the graphics processor is not a separate entity; It is built into the motherboard. My questions are:

    (1) who should be blamed, Toshiba or Nvidia?
    (2) how to prevent premature rupture of the card/motherboard?
    (3) the card/motherboard could be repaired?

    Hallo

    I have red Satellite P20 304 and it still works well. Maybe you can offer this story to someone else, but I can say that Satellite P20 is great for laptop. I like it. Old, but still has an attractive design.
    If you have no luck I can understand it but to talk in general and write about weakness is for me nothing more than absurd.

    Nice questions here especially one. :)
    1 - to blame someone will help any. Try to get the replacement and get it working again.
    2. There is nothing you can do. All you can do is to take care of the use of the laptop and do not overheat.
    3. as far as I know that something like this is not possible. In this case the motherboard will be replaced.

    What you can do is to check eBay from time to time. You may be lucky and you can buy used motherboard for a good price and exchange it.

  • Qosmio G30-126 + graphic card GeForce 7600

    Hello

    as I've written before this graphics card was without original driver NVidia for Vista. I was always in trouble with graph and when it came the first update in October 2007, I was happy, but there remained only the Toshiba driver (nothing original for Vista to the web pages of NVidia). Later on came another bet to level, but still not original and it show me that the driver is named now GeForce 7650GS. Last week, I download driver direct from NVidia web.

    Any person of any kind - change the name of the driver?

    Hello

    I put t know where you found the name of the graphics card but the Qosmio G30-126 was equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 name Code G73M graphics chip.

    The graphics driver Vista and XP is available on the Toshiba page.

    It s own modified Toshiba graphic driver and you should always use the graphics drivers from the Toshiba page to prevent the equipment from damage

  • Qosmio G10 does not work - some graphic problems

    Hello
    I have a Qosmio G10 a few years back, within the first year of its use the graphics seemed to go crazy after using it for games.
    Since then, I've left the but recently I dug to see if I can get it fixed it as my partner needs.

    1. whenever I start it I have a white screen with sound (I can get the screen each time by pressing F5 (current view).
    2. I tried the system restore cd, but when it finishes I wake a fragmented Windows screen with the beginning bar all over the place, and then it just freezes
    3. However, when I try a professional XP operating system to recover (I found somewhere), it starts up no probs apart from a few blue vertical lines on the screen, starting when I get on the desktop there is no probs although res is set to low and used to move (no graphics driver). Then I tried to load the Qosmio tools & utilities and can support all but the Chipset (that quite fragmented and I have to restart the whole process) and driver nvidia Gforce graphics that I assume will not charge because the chipset?

    I thought it might be a cd of defective recovery but when I changed during a hard drive of new fresh on the wrapper started everthing briefly as it should do this before, he crashed any temptation of power again.

    Pulling my hair out please help!

    Hello

    > 1. Every time I start it I have a white screen with sound (I can get the screen each time by pressing F5 (current view).
    Looks like the screen is positioned on the external monitor and so nothing does not appear on the internal screen laptops. Perhaps this happens because of the changed settings in the properties of the graphics card.

    > 2. I tried the system restore cd, but when it finishes I wake a fragmented Windows start with the bar start screen all over the place, and then it just freezes
    Usually the laptop should start correctly after the installation of the recovery CD. If the laptop freezes then a hardware problem is possible.

    > 3. However when I try an operating system XP Professional to recover (I found somewhere), it starts up no probs apart from a few blue vertical lines on the screen, starting when I get on the desktop there is no probs although res is set to low and used to move (no graphics driver). Then I tried to load the Qosmio tools & utilities and can support all but the Chipset (that quite fragmented and I have to restart the whole process) and driver nvidia Gforce graphics that I assume will not charge because the chipset?

    In my view, your graphics card could malfunction. I come to the conclusion because the laptop works ok until the graphics driver will be installed. Without graphic driver installed the laptop seems to run I think GPU dysfunction could also be the reason why the laptop does not start correctly after the installation of the recovery CD. The restore CD already contains the graphics driver that controls the graphics card chip

    So in my opinion, you should contact the ASP in your country for a control of the laptop.
    Maybe the technicians could find the fault.

    Good luck

  • Lack of graphics Qosmio G10

    Hi guys,.

    I have a problem with my Qosmio G10 with graphics. Image on the screen is completely wrong. Pictures on the screen are distributed in different places that appear in different points of the screen. This bug begins just after power on the laptop.

    For example the QOSMIO logo is shown in different points of the screen in the following mode:
    In left hand side of the screen are part of M, I and O, then BONES and part of M, then to the right of the screen are Q that is cut to the two parties and the left side of the o.
    All things are displayed in the same way.

    Pleas help me with that, if that's possible?

    I thank in advance
    IVAN

    Hello

    It s very sad to say but it looks like a graphics card problem!

    In this case, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance. I guess that the motherboard needs to be replaced because the GPU chip is fixed on the Board of Directors and cannot be eliminated in the unique setting.

    I hope you ve purchased a new extended warranty because the replacement of the motherboard can be a bit expensive :(

    Contact the technicians and ask for more details!

    Good luck

  • Qosmio G10 with the new graphics card and pcb - CD update tools do not work

    Hello world

    I hope you can help me. Before a few weeks, I received my Toshiba Qosmio G10 return of aid, because the laptop no longer works. So I get it back with a new graphics card and a new PCB. With my laptop I have a CD called the update tool CD and a sheet of instructions, where it says to start with this tool CD-Rom update after you have installed the Windows with the reovery CD.

    So I did, but when I know the update tool CD to put in and I start with it, the computer installs something, but after a short then it is a message that it is a different model and that I have to put a button to close Notepad. So I did it, but Windows does not start.

    Why is it so? I had done everything that has been said on the instruction sheet.

    Please help me

    Hello

    It will be interesting to find more information on this CD-Rom tool update. Are there tags Toshiba? Can you please write what is described here?

  • Qosmio G10: Question about motherboard replacement

    I bought the G10 around 2 years there are in the United Kingdom and who now live in New Zealand.

    I would say it has been a faithful companion, but looking back it cost much to get anything done, because of the ridiculous prices of the FSA.

    I experienced a power supply, two hard drives, my touch pad no longer works and now the GPU (graphics card) is dead.

    I'm sure that most of the people on this forum knows, that is, replacing the motherboard because it is on board.

    I am out of warranty and replacement cost is more than a qosmio second hand of the same age.

    Having done a lot of research on the internet about it.
    I found out that Toshiba US will free of charge replace the motherboard. I asked Toshiba AUS/NZ and they refused him, that it was not a problem.

    Toshiba UK/Europe does, or is it just the Toshiba US that cares about its customers?

    [Edited by: admin on 20-Sep-2007 07:11]

    Hello

    It's very sad to hear that! :(
    I want to share my knowledge on the Toshiba us and Europe.
    As I know the Toshiba us has nothing to do with Toshiba Europe or Australia/New Zealand.
    Portable computers designed for the American market are simply different and also supports different parts and numbers; for example the Qosmio G10 or G20 are not available in the United States but only the Qosmio G15 or G25, etc.

    If you have problems with your hardware, you must contact the partner service manager authorized in your country for further assistance.

    Regarding your question.
    Yes, it really looks like a malfunction of the GPU (graphic processor unit). This graphics chip is fixed on the plateau and in the majority of cases, the whole Board needs to be replaced!
    As you know, these hardware problems could still happen because the new age books are of the high-end products that work always with high performance.
    That s nothing unusual.

    I bought a year ago from G20 and I bought an extended warranty on avoid such troubles.
    So, I always recommend buying the extended warranty in the future.

    Good luck and best regards

  • Qosmio G10 - how to upgrade the DMI information?

    Help, please!
    I have trouble with Qosmio G10. Toshiba support don't really.help me.

    I changed my motherboard with nVidia 6600 go and 915 PM and new BIOS. Now there are several problems: I tried to run the update tool CD, but it stops and «please use this CD with F10, G10...» Press any key to stop. I can not run product recovery, bad Machine.

    OK, I thought, this Forum search and found that there must be something with DMI. Download Toshdmi10.exe and run it on a bootable CD but the ID does not match!

    Now, I installed XP-Home Edition without recovery of MCE, but it seems that he's in trouble, because the laptop works single fix 598 MHz and has 45 Watt idle Powerconsumentation! It's a lot more before I think. Too much?!

    How can I solve the problem-DMI to run Update tool and recovery CD?

    Hello

    Normally the DMI information can only be updated from an authorized service...

    You wrote about a new mainboard is the same as older mainboard? Maybe the new chipset and graphics card are not compatible with the other pieces of equipment

    In your case I would contact the ASP again. Normally, they should help you if you explain your problem exactly. ;)

  • Capture and editing on Qosmio G10

    Qosmio G10 can work with Adobe graphic, editing software is dirrectly or indirectly?

    Can you explain what you mean with directly or indirectly?

    Anyway, every software producer sets minimum hardware required for use of the software.

  • Qosmio G10 106 will not start

    My Qosmio g10 primer not. I am getting white vertical lines on each side of the qosmio splash screen. If I try to boot from the drive, the screen turns white with a cursor blinking in the upper right.

    I can't boot into SafeMode either. One of the suggestions, as the machine is longer under warranty and I suspect that it is maybe the motherboard is dead.

    Hello

    It's not easy to tell exactly what part is wrong, but in my opinion there must be definitely something wrong with the hardware.
    I t can give you an appropriate response to the fault, but I recommend asking Toshiba service for opinion. It should have more experience in these matters.
    The service partner could start some diagnostic tests can locate the fault.

  • Vertical lines on the Qosmio G10

    My Qosmio G10 have vertical lines on the screen even on monitor external it show the same problems, tried to reformat using the supplied media center disc have the same problem also, system hangs when installing the video driver, try Booting to CD bootable always vertical BACK appear, I hope that the guys at Toshiba can give us a good explanation for this really upset by this problem our company buy 3 this G10 and two of the three have this problem.

    I put t know if you meet here someone of the Toshiba because this community is only a user to user forum, but I'll try to give you an opinion.
    It seems that there must be something wrong on the graphics card on the map.

    You don't have a lot of options... try to communicate with the service authorized in your country guys
    Probably they know something more about it

  • Qosmio G10 begins with vertical lines on the screen

    Hello, can anyone help?

    When I try to start my sign qosmio G10 comes on with vertical lines on the screen. And the screen goes black and I can only hear the fan.
    In VGA mode, it begins upward, but always with the lines on the screen.
    Is there something wrong with the video card? In my view, that there are more people with this problem.
    Toshiba offered little help?

    I'm 'out out of warranty '. I need to by a new complete motherboard or y at - it another option? Replace the video card?

    Hello

    Its a shame about the warranty because you ask the service partner Toshiba for the verification of the laptop and this procedure would be free. You know, the warranty would cover the audit of the laptop.

    But I would say the external display connection and then you can check if the same vertical lines appear on the external display.
    If you see the lines on the second monitor, then I guess it could be something wrong with the graphics card or motherboard.

    I think that this procedure is the best way to find out what could be the problem, but anyway, I think you should ask a technician for assistance if you want to solve this problem.

    PS: Have you tried to reinstall or update the graphics driver? I think you should do it but I don't know if it will help you, but you know Mr. try is free ;)

    One of my friends had a similar problem with the vertical lines on other mobile manufacturing, and it was a WLan cable which was responsible for the strange lines on the screen.

  • Re: Qosmio F50-126 - freezes when it is on battery

    * everybody *.

    I bought my Qosmio F50-126 it there a few months to 3 years international warranty. There is something about the book that really irritates me-* THE FREEEZEE *.

    I noticed that when I watch a video on any player and any format, the computer all freeezess * for 1 or 3 seconds and takes * one * but the interesting thing is that it occurs when running on battery *. He runns like a dream when running on the sector with the battery charge. * IL UNBELIEVABLY boring *.

    When your in the movie and the lights are turned off and your in your bed hot comfly. The ENTIRE computer freezes with audio hopping. This happens only for 1 or 2 seconds but it occurance is * RANDOM.* COMPLETELY if the laptop is in the mood to watch the movie it freezes only 2 or 3 times, but sometimes he just get on my nerve.
    I disabled my kaspersky and other runing random process. Please help me!

    * Only for the note: happens that freezing only happens when running on battery *. This help Oh-hope

    I found that my HARD drive on the laptop light don't which often flashes when on battery and the playback of the video so it's not load time the reason... also... SAME RESULT WHEN I LAUNCHED THE HIGH PERFORMACE, BALANCED or power saver - actually powersaver is * _the WORST... Good bye... PLESE HELP ME OR MY LIFE IS DOOM_ *.

    Hello

    I have never heard of this issue and I must say that my Qosmio F50 really works great without any problem.

    It's not easy to say what is the reason, but you use the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows? Normally with preinstalled Windows should work without any problems.
    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you have installed a display driver not Toshiba. These drivers can overheat the system and damage the graphics card so make sure you use the display on the site of Toshiba driver.

    Last but not least, you should check the mode of cooling on battery mode. Maybe you don t have a maximum cooling on battery and overheating of laptop mode. You can resolve this problem if you clean the laptop using a jet of compressed air and always the value of the maximum cooling performance.

    Good bye
