  > I contacted Toshiba service asking to replace by something big, they said it's impossible! HOW DO I? It should be possible to replace the 64 GB SSD 256 GB SSD!

  And why wouldn't this possible? The technician said that?

  As far as I know there is a common controller SATA and SSD with SATA interface should work

• The display is loose on my Portege R500 - how to tighten the hinges?

  The display is loose on my portege r500.

  Does anyone know how to tighten the hinges?

  Hello

  I think that this procedure is very delicate and in my opinion it s a job for a technician.
  I m don't know if you can tighten the hinges if necessary he s need to replace the old hinges

  Is it the hinges are hidden under the plastic around the screen frame.
  The LCD mask is fixed with screws I m but not quite sure how much could be three screws. They are hidden under the mask of small cushions.
  You will need to remove and the tightness of the extra mask.
  Then you can remove the LCD mask. The hinges should be visible now

  But there s more complicated as it may seem the R500 is a nice unit, and it would be a shame that you would damage the LCD screen. The LCD screen is an expensive part, and in my opinion it is worth to ask a professional for help

• When Toshiba will replace Z930-Portege, after 3 replacements of the motherboard?

  I bought my Portege Z930 in Dubai this year and she has had 3 replacement of the motherboard. Apparently the configuration has a problem, at least for the models of Dubai (see forum related post: motherboard for Portege Z930 B113 need send to the Brazil, posted: January 29, 2014 11:40)

  In Europe, they advised that Toshiba should replace, but in Dubai's local service provider advises another motherboard replacement!

  How can I do to request Toshiba to provide me with a slight i7 8 GB RAM 256SSD equivalent model, because living in the same configuration does not work (it takes only a week and a month for the motherboard down).

  Please advise,
  Thank you

  It s doesn't know only not for me that an entire book could be replaced by Toshiba in case of hardware problems.

  Usually in case of hardware problems, the authorized service provider should be able to solve hardware problems, replacement of the defective part.

• Portege R500 - some parameters of the touchpad are unavailable

  Hello

  I have a Portege R500 which have recently had an unfortunate encounter with the ground and needed a new hard drive, among other things; So it is like new in the aspect of the software.

  Since to resume the touchpad does not scroll.
  I checked the Control Panel, and it gives me only options for the number of lines per click of the scroll wheel down, so that it looks like, he thinks it's a normal mouse.

  In addition, it has no icon in the notification area on the taskbar to display when you press the key, which he was, and you can access a lot of parameters such as the size of the area of scroll etc...
  I checked the driver and it is the same as that available in the downloads section if it is not that, but I can find no trace of this another piece of software anywhere.

  Anyone know where I can download the icon and its parameters of support or any other means to scroll?
  Thank you

  It seems that you have not installed some needed touchpad driver.
  Driver Toshiba page provides an Alps Touch Pad Driver for Portege R500 Electric.
  Install it!

  Then you can check the settings in the control panel-> mouse-> hardware-> touchpad properties

• Portege R500 - no image on the external monitor

  Hello everyone

  There is no image on the external monitor on my Portege R500 with Win XP SP3.
  The screen seems to receive the signal, but the screen remains black.

  Anyone know a solution for this problem?
  Sorry for my bad English.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  How have you tried to exit from display on an external monitor?
  Usually, you use the FN + F5 key combination.
  This allows you to switch between the two screens; laptop + external display.

  I had a problem to view a video on the external monitor because the video is already running. You must switch to the external display until you start the movie, etc.

• Portege R500 hangs / pauses during the connection through the LAN

  My Portege R500 is like that: when all using WIFI or 3G works fine but I would use LAN for best performance when he's at the office. As soon as the LAN cable is connected the machine starts making strange breaks for 1 to 2 seconds and I want to say break total, even the mouse pointer freezes on the screen. This happens every 5 to 10 seconds and stops immediately when you unplug the LAN.

  Someone at - it solution or an explanation for that? Hardware error? I have all the latest drivers from Toshiba, even the latest firmware for both the computer and the built-in 3G modem. No strange software or bad - one abnormal behavior is used, antivirus is Trend OfficeScan and standard Windows Firewall is used.

  Thanks in advance.

  You can test at home or elsewhere? It will be interesting if the same thing will happen if you connect your laptop to the router at home.

  Have you talked about this with your local administrator?
  What you can try is to update BIOS to see if this will change anything.

• Portege R500: unable to connect the remote DVI monitor via Dynadock

  Hello

  I just connected Dynadock (DVI) with my Portege R500. The cell would be supported - according to Toshiba - but my experience confirms that Dynadock is not able to access the DVI ports. This implies, that Dynadock is nothing more than the USB HUB.

  My setup: Vista 32 company b (CZE edition), the latest patches, Toshiba R500.

  Software: latest dynadock software 2.3 c.

  Symptom: I can't connect to the remote DVI monitor via the dynadock, there are only two external panels with 800 x 600, but Vista does not allow me to choose.

  More information: software Dynadock requires to run without Microsoft Defender, otherwise it blocks the service: DisplayLinkService; file:C:\Program Files\DisplayLink base Software\DisplayLinkService.exe
  If you turn off the MSDef, the "error 2738" message appears when you connect the dynadock and when Vista tries to install a missing drivers for you.
  Yes, I know the VBS question and the problem is not caused by VisualBasic - VBS "Hello World" runs.

  If you think always, Toshiba Dynadock is compatible with Toshiba R500, then press Fn + F5 and look at your logs and you should find something like:
  In English: igfxext.exe throws an exception 0xc000000d, offset 0x0000f9f8.

  I look forward to the comments, advice etc. If you are able to transmit this bug report to a responsible engineer, do please.

  Hello Leo

  As far as I know, Toshiba has not designed for laptops models own only Dynadock and it can be used on every laptop or fixed. Because of this, I think that this statement about model of care is not so important for this problem.

  Toshiba provides devices and software. To connect using the USB port, and these ports must each computer or laptop. I hope that you have installed the software by following the on-screen instructions (device of should not be connected to the start-up of the plant).

  Is your Portege docked the host or you have connected Dynadock directly in Portege s USB port?

• Portege R500 does not show the Groove 2007 calendar tool

  Hi all

  As a newbie, I met the following problem with MS Office Groove 2007 on a newly purchased R500.
  Windows XP Pro SP3, Office 2007 Ultimate

  Use the Groove 2007 calendar tool to coordinate meetings with my colleagues, but the R500 does not show the calendar.
  Tried it on all my computers and it works fine except on the Porege R500.

  Please let know us if anyone has experienced the same problem or if there is a solution before I turn to MS (hate doing that)

  Thanks Aliza

  Hello

  Maybe you should remove the SP3 and must try to reinstall again on the Portégé R500 using only SP2.

  Did you also check if there is some compatibility issues between the MS Groove 2007 and already installed programs?

  Please check this!

• Z560 - replace the HDD with SSD - solved using OneKey Recovery

  Hey guys,.

  In a few days time Santa is put me an SSD, OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB.

  I think to clone the drive following this guide: http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software and I'm a little confused on the partitions that are currently on the disk.

  I have:

  Local disk C: 552,55 gb,

  LENOVO 28.8 GB D:

  and a partition unassigned 14.75 GB.

  Does anyone know what contains the unassigned partition? I guess that's the One - Key recovery software? If this is the case, then I intend on deleting the D: Partition, which currently contains drivers, narrows the C:\ about 100 GB and cloning then the C:\ 100 GB and partition unassigned... will this work?

  Bravo guys!

  Rastaman

  Hey guys,.

  I got my Vertex 3 today and it is ridiculously fast. Totally recommend it if you can afford it. Anyway, I discovered how do I reinstall my laptop, and I'm going to ask you now:

  (1) One Key Recovery Opened and clicked on 'create recovery disk', followed by 'default recovery drive '.

  (2) thought - sod it, I'll just stay in my new SSD and see what happens. Inserted, set the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive, and then install windows.

  (3) gain?

  In fact, I found myself with

  C:\ 96,84 GB

  Partion unnamed (14, 75 GB) - this is the area of a key recovery

  Unnamed (200 mb) - partition likely etc boot sector reserved by operating system - seen elsewhere on other systems and is quite normal!

  So yes, that happened on a NEW SSD building, which had not been formatted before - OneKey Recovery did everything by himself.

  I hope this helps people in the future!

  Merry Christmas!
