• How to install linux on Qosmio G20-120

  Hi all.
  I tried to install some linux distro in a new qosmio g20. Only knoppix 3.8 and 4.0 CentOS have some chance to install, the other distributions can´t recognize the hd or dvd (on Ubuntu), but the distributions that have installed the Hd become unstable, can´t stop, if I do because the hd is not collapsed shutdown, can´t, etc... Someone tried to do? Any chance to install linux on this notebook?
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It's always a problem with Linux as the OS is not supported by Toshiba. In this case, you're on your own.

• Qosmio G20-120: 1080 p HD video question - photo stucks for 1-2 seconds

  Hi guys,.
  I have problems with playback of 1080 p HD progressive video on my G20-120. Photo gets stuck for 1-2 seconds every 5-7 seconds. Sound has no problem.
  I try to close all programs and applications that are running, but again it gets stuck. These help anyone make you think:

  1 - upgrade 1 GB RAM to 2 GB
  2-overclocking either the CPU or the video card (I don't know if its possible at all) if so how do you?
  3. change the 128 MB 256 MB video card (again once I'm not sure if it can be changed)

  Thank you very much.

• Down screen on Qosmio G20-110

  I bought my g20 on a year and a half ago, was a happy owner for a few months, until I realized that half of the screen has been low, had it sent back for repair and everything was pink...

  Recently, didn't completely of half of the screen (the same half who fainted in front), its black with a few different color vertical lines on it.

  now a little more 1 year since the repair and it seems all its out of warranty. I am faced with a quote about 550 euro ball park figure for what fixed it.

  What's more is, they will be not even watch it for less than 120 euros an hour. 120 euros the hour!

  So quick questions, if half of the screen sometimes flickers black and showing vertical lines standing is most of the time, it's screen missing lcd or something else? (I don't want to pay 120 euros for them to tell me what's wrong)

  there that somehow all Toshiba will cover something like this out of the goodness of their heart? It was more expensive cell phone in the shop and the display is obviously faulty...

  also, please don't tell me its my fault for not getting the extended warranty, the shop who sold me the laptop wanted more than 700 euros for the guarantee and the site doesn't sell it to me, I don't live in one of the regions the site covers (Ireland)

  and last question, is possible that I could buy the part cost price of anywhere, I saw him online in America for around 300 euros, and the thought of paying almost double that did in Ireland makes me a little sick.

  Thanks for any help

  Hello Joseph

  I'm sorry to hear you have a display with your Qosmio problem. I use my G20 nearly 1.5 years and so far, everything works fine. I hope I won't have bad luck like you.

  In this story, I see a common problem. FSA or authorized service partners are not Toshiba services but the independents who have contract with Toshiba. Toshiba is responsible for parts but each service partner defines only prices. Toshiba has absolutely no influence on this. As you know, we are the victims of what is called the 'free market '.

  Back to your problem: if possible please connect the external monitor to your Qosmio and check what is happening exactly. I hope that everything will be OK and it will be proof of your graphics card isn't faulty, but display.

  I recommend you to check the other services in your country and to compare prices.

  Bye and good luck!

  PS Please inform us what was your decision on the repair of the screen.

• Question about the temperature of the CPU on Qosmio G20-120

  My CPU temp is never less than 85 C.
  When I'm working temp max is up to 115 C.
  The cooler works all the time.
  Its normal?

  It depends on the use of the laptop.
  If the laptop uses the full CPU and the performance of the graphics card if it possible of s as the temperature increases to a higher level.

  One question; the laptop is turned off automatically? If not then all work and there is no problem of overheating.
  The laptop supports an overheating protection. If the temperature would be high, so the laptop would be closed automatically

• Qosmio G20 = video cable component and videos in high definition with Pinnacle

  Dear everybody
  I bought my Qosmio G20-120 of the Poland that came with D video cable SCART. This cable is only capable of transferring video signals (CVBS) which is pretty useless, because Qoismio already has a S-video out... What is the best simple video production I can get to SCART.
  According to www.toshiba-europe.com Qoismio is supposed to have video output component. But it comes with cable SCART instead. I always try to make this component video cable D-video of the Distributor. If I don't succeed, does anyone know if and where I can buy this cable in Europe? Or is it possible to make a video component with the D-video out D-video cable with cable SCART?
  Everyone last tried the channels high definition DVB-S on Qoismio using USB 2.0 DVB - S TV Card.Any opinions on Pinnacle PCTV 400e?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry, but I don t agree with you. SCART in my opinion is always better than S-Video. As far as I know cable SCART can transfer image and sound and picture just S-Video. Am I wrong?

  In my view, it's great that laptop Qosmio has two video ports and each use can make a choice.

  Another way your ad is a bit confusing to me. Qosmio G20 includes a section on the port (D-video) and as far as I know the original cable must be provided. You can see on this page http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB4A00TK000MR01.htm

  Using this cable you can easily connect your laptop to the TV.

• Qosmio g20 - best replacement screen?

  Hello

  My lcd screen has lines running down it (different colors) and is wide right vertically blurred 2inches in the middle.

  Now I'd like replace the LCD 17 inches but theres more than 1 part number to pass.
  I have reference numbers

  LG Philips LP171WP3
  N170C1-L02

  both are WXGA + 1440 X 900 display, SUPER HIGHBRIGHT (BRILLIANT) XBRIGHT.

  So which one to buy?

  Thank you

  Well, the replacement of the screen is a costly affair!
  The LCD is one of the more expensive parts of portable (apart from the motherboard) then maybe you should make a choice between a party of second hand and the new screen. If you wanted to buy a new screen and then you would have a new warranty but it s more expensive. On the other hand; no little cheaper warranty

  A new LCD can be ordered from the ASP in your country. I also found this site useful:

  [Toshiba Qosmio G20 LCD screens | http://www.screentekinc.com/Toshiba_Qosmio_G20--17-inch--1440x900-wxgaplus-laptop-lcd-screen.shtml]

  The right LCD part number are; * P000429540 * and * G33C0002K110 *.

• Qosmio G20 screen of text or symbols on startup

  Qosmio G20 139, at the start of the Qosmio laptop appears and then it immediately goes into a screen of text or symbols. Is continuous to load see the Windows XP screen then displays vertical blue dotted, then goes to an error page showing the nonpaged page error error 0 x 00000050. Then restarts and goes around and does the same thing.

  I used the recovery disk and it worked fine for a few days the have reappeared.
  I checked the ram and hard drive and there seems to be some errors.

  Now reinstall drive does not load correctly.
  If a page comes up saying installation is not complete.

  > I checked the ram and hard drive and there seems to be some errors.

  How did you check that?
  Have you used a new test strips of memory and the new HARD drive?

  To be honest, I don t think that your HARD drive is affected. The vertical dotted lines, could be more related question of graphics card in terms of the HARD drive.
  RAM question could also be possible, but I think that its GPU.

  By the way: you are able to access the BIOS?
  Turn on the computer and press F2. Then leave the laptop in BIOS for a few hours to check if some problems arise.
  Would be interesting to know how the unit would be
