• Noise from HDD on my brand new DX730 - 10K

  I'm sorry for my bad English skills, but I will try to explain my problem.

  I bought my DX730 a few days ago and especially I'm frankly pleased with the pc, but I'm worried by the hard drive.
  In my opinion it works a little to rabies because the laptop I had before was quieter, in caprison to the pc.

  Is it normal to hear the hard drive obviouisly?
  Or is there something wrong with it?

  I would be happy to answer!

  Hello

  It of always difficult to give you advice without checking the noise.
  But in most cases its nothing that a HARD drive makes an unusual noise.
  The noise is due to the rotation of the disk and the read/write head movements.

  In addition, the noise can be stronger or quitter using different hard drives from different manufacturers, so in my opinion, you should not be worried, but to be safe, back up the data always.

  It sounds really bad. In my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can check and, if necessary, exchange the HARD drive.

• Portege R830-10R: No. USB connection after recovery from sleep mode

  Nice day!

  I have experienced the problem depending on my Portege R830-10R for a long time.

  Quite often, when he recovers as soon as "sleep" mode it loses the ability to recognize USB devices and built-in 3G modem does not work as well.

  After awhile, like 10-15 minutes of work (or), the problem is solved by itself, but normally, it is not the case.

  If I try to send the laptop to Hibernate or "standby mode" again, while this problem is active, allows to say, it not put into hibernation and crashes on a midway with a black screen - so I have to stop it manually, and then start again.

  Normally, the only way to solve the problem is to restart, but the issue comes after the next "standby".

  Someone has something like this? Any solution available?

  Hello

  > Quite frequently, when he recovers as soon as "sleep" mode it loses the ability to recognize USB devices and built-in 3G modem does not work as well.

  Have you noticed this behavior from the first day of purchase?

  Only special USB devices assigned as USB flash memory stick or USB HDD or are
  other devices such as the USB mouse or USB keyboard has also affected?

• Portege R830 - Win 8.1 Value Added Package (Flash cards)

  Hello.

  First of all I would like to say that I used my Toshiba Portege R830 with all the operating systems since Windows 7 and I have never installed fresh OS.
  That said, I could not use Intel WiDi on Win10 and had to return to Win8 (DVD which I happily bought as well as the upgrade).

  I installed all the software Toshiba using Upgrade Wizard and for the first time since the 2011', there was no Flash cards available (drop-down menu shown with use of the Fn keys). I used to like 2.5 years on Win 8/8.1 and now his party and is not available to the installation...

  WTF? After a week, I discovered that cards Flash is not present in VAP 1.6 (only in 1.5.X.X or earlier).
  Unfortunately I can't install only stand-alone Flash cards (or can I?).

  And here my question: if I install VAP 1.5 (with Flash cards), can I (ANYHOW) strengthen certain elements (such as system driver) without uninstalling the previous version of VAP?

  From my experience when I run VAP 1.6 installer first thing it does is an uninstall complete previous versions.

  Please help me! I can't imagine who thought that removing the 1.6 flash cards would be a good idea...

  Driver Toshiba UE page provides the Key Utility for Windows 8 Upgrade feature Toshiba v1.00.6626.03.

  So, if you have installed Value Added Package 1.6.0130. You must also install the key function Toshiba utility

• Portege R830 had dead blue when the screen connects to wifi or shared internet

  It seemed began as soon as the automatic update from Microsoft on Qualcomm, Atheros, every time when connect to any WIFi, share internet, my portege R830 shows blue screen and the following error message:
  unhandled system_thread_exception (athwb.sys)

  I found that I am not the isolated on the Web site. I tried to remove and stop updates. However, once I connect to the internet, the blue screen comes back.

  Is the problem because of the network adapter? The model is Qualcomm Atheros AR9002WB
  Can solve the problem if I download the new driver of Qualcomm-Atheros site? Or if I replace a new adapter?

  The athwb.sys file belongs to the Atheros wireless driver. Usually placed in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\athwb.sys
  It seems that in your case this file causing the BSOD.

  I found a very interesting detail about this problem and why it seems.

  and throw the unit DVD to the HARD drive inside?

  Thank you

  Portege R830 supports only a single disk drive HARD or SSD.

  With regard to the optical adapter Bay HDD/SSD Caddy:
  I'm not quite sure if BIOS would be able to use suchpart m.

  In the past, some computers laptop Toshiba supported Select Bay who was allowed to use the HARD disk enclosure in the Bay of ODD, but many books don't supports this functionality.

  In the worst cases, you need to replace your current HDD/SSD with the biggest HDD/SSD

• Portege R830 - forcing mobile broadband using 3 G/HSDPA with Win 8

  Hi all

  Updated my Portege R830 to Windows 8 without problem.

  Given that most of the Wireless Manager functionality has been moved in the Windows, I can not find where I can "force" the connection to 3 G/HSDPA.

  I live in an area where the signal is insufficient and if I let the network default settings, it frequently goes to the strongest EDGE connection. I connected with Wireless Manager, using only 3 G/HSDPA where 2 bars were sufficient for everyday tasks.

  Moments of light bulb? (Travel is unfortunately not an option... ;))

  Hmm, I think that this parameter isn't available in 8 Win.

  Microsoft provides a nice article on configuring broadband to help to win 8 and mentioned configuration isn't it:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/mobile-broadband-from-start-to-finish

  From my understanding the best signal to broadband will be selected and used if it is available.,.

• Portege R830 - problems of 3G connection after installing Win 7 32 bit

  Hello

  I went down a Portege R830 Windows 7 64 bit for Windows 7 32 bit with drivers of Toshiba. I put a SIM from my provider.
  In the windows Network Manager, 7 and in the Toshiba Wireless Manager I can see the right provider and HSPA network but when I start the connection, it does not (I don't have a PIN code).

  It is failed with Windows 7 Network Manager and Manager Toshiba wireless (I don't have this problem with the Portege R700 windows 7 32bits)

  But I found a small solution (but I think that's not enough):
  I have created a dial-up connection, with a number * 99 #,.
  I started the connection, it does not happen, but after that, when I raise my first connection is good.

  I don't know why, it's as if the modem is in sleep and the dial-up connection wake-up the modem, because after all is good (win7 Network Manager, Manager wireless Toshiba) so if I reboot the Portege.

  I want to avoid the dial-up connection on my r700 portege with 32-bit windows 7

  Thanks for your help and sorry for my English.
  support for the toshiba told me to reinstall windows 7 64 bit to solve the problem :)

• Sound when Portege R830 is anchored and display lid is closed

  I have a fairly new Toshiba Portege R830 laptop (PT321E-01E00YEN) who don't use speakers integrated if it is placed in a dock with the closed laptop screen or the microphone.

  This causes problems when you try to work from only an external monitor, but when I flip the lid open, it works fine.

  I am using a replication of port II (PA3916B) and once installed a month ago, all device etc drivers has been updated to the lasted available so I think that there is a software configuration option that just needs to check or disabling.

  No one knows where that might be?

  I test this on an another older duplicator that has been purchased for a R700-15R and have exactly the same problem, so I don't think it is hardware related.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

  Please don't get me wrong, but to me this behavious seems logical. When you close the lid internal speaker and microphone placed close to the cam are blocked so I don't know how you want to use.
  When the laptop is closed and set aside, it's almost the same as the office. All devices that you need should be connected to the docking station and external devices.

  If you use your laptop on a regular route, but they also appear external to office extension, you can use all the internal devices to your laptop.

  In my opinion the point of berthing of the use of the station of different devices to your laptop, but using the docking station, you can remove the laptop and take it with you without disconnection of all connected devices, including the power supply.

  To be honest, I see here no problem. You can contact Toshiba service nearest and ask for opinions, but I'm sure the answer will be the same.

• Portege R830 - updates BIOS and USB 3

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Portege R830, business management Windows 7 (SP1) 32-bit (for work).
  I also start Linux Mint 14 64-bit, that I installed it on a portable USB HDD (non-professional).

  I recently bought a 3 USB HARD drive, but when I connect it to the USB 3 port on my R830, it gives me only USB 2 speeds (25 MB/s).

  I checked with some diagnostic utilities (usbdeview, etc.), who say that the drive is connected in USB 2.1 mode.

  The drive reports itself as being 3 USB, cable is USB 3 (SuperSpeed) and the port that I use on the R830 is 3.

  I feel the same way, if I boot on windows or linux.

  I've updated all the drivers on the two operating systems, does not.

  then I tried to update the BIOS, but I get the following error:
  "An error occurred during the preparation of the updated environment.
  You have not given the permission to execute the update".

  For the record, it's the BIOS I'm leaving, & to.
  BIOS version: Current Ver.2.80--> updated Ver.4.10
  THIS Version: Current Ver.1.10--> update Ver.1.60

  Does anyone know why I wouldn't get USB 3 speed (which, for my drive, are expected to be around 40-50 MB/s), or why all the diagnostics say USB 2?

  Does anyone know how to overcome the problem of updating the BIOS?
  (I tried in safe mode, disable AV, disabling NX)

  See you soon

  This USB driver is installed?

  Please try to install it and check again speed USB.

• Portege R830 - model with SSD or HARD drive?

  Hello!

  I am considering buying a Portege R830. I've yet to decide between the Portégé R830-10R (model with HARD drive) and the Portégé R830 - 10 p (model with a 256 GB SSD). To do this, I would like to know:

  -What is the SSD model assembled in the Portégé R830?
  -It uses a standard SATA connection or an owner like the previous Portégé R700 SSD?
  -Have someone replaced the original HDD to the Portégé R830 by a whole new SATA 3 SSD? Wich one? It works fine?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi MadVet,

  The SSD of Portege R830 - 10 p is a model of Toshiba 2.5 so it does not work in Portege R830. In addition due to the 2.5 form factor it uses SATA standard interface as normal hard drives.

  In my opinion, you should take the model with SSD. 256 GB is enough for the operating system and applications as well as for some important data. If you need more disk external HARD disk space use. SSDS are very fast and you will see the performance of the SSD HARD drive instead ;)

• Portege R830 - use of fingerprinting as part of Windows 8

  I have big problems with two drivers Toshiba on my Portege R830 computer in Win 8 Pro 64 bit upgrade.

  I did a clean update on a reformatted hard drive, then went to install display drivers and that totally crashed my machine out.

  When I put in my IDs of the machine would do a reboot of the force.
  Finally, I am in safe mode (with SHIFT-restart the login screen) and was able to fix it and remove the driver.

  Then I installed the utility of fingerprinting, this week still downloaded from Toshiba for my machine.
  He even marked as "new".
  That actually worked, in a way, but it caused my login icons user on-screen connection prior to appear as duplicates.

  Took me forever to understand it is the utility of fingerprinting and when I removed the user icons are returned to normal.

  So now the fingerprint reader is useless for me.
  In the hope of a solution soon.
