• Portege R700-17Z bios not recognizing USB devices

  Hello

  I'm after some advice on a problem I'm having with my R700, I can't get the laptop to recognize USB hard drives start-up stage. I am trying to use Acronis to create an image that I have 40 of these laptops.

  The CD-ROM USB CD drive is recognized and is therefore a Corsair USB pen (which is unfortunately not large enough), but I have three hard drives USB (a Freecom Tough Drive, Buffalo MiniStation and Western Digital passport) and none of them are recognized by the BIOS. Legacy USB emulation is enabled.

  Am I missing something?

  Thank you, Karen

• Portege R700 - Sandforce SSD OCZ and Toshiba BIOS v1.9

  Hello

  It is a question to the Toshiba techy guys. Please can someone confirm compatibility with SSDS OCZ Vertex2 (Sandforce) with the Portege r700?

  Since I've updated the stock HARD drive I had problems with BIOS recognizing the SDS when you restart. If I boot the laptop from the cold, that is nice, DDI is recognized and everything is ok, the problem is intermittent. When requiring to restart the laptop to Windows 7 (64-bit), it hangs at the screen Toshiba Leading Innovation. It seems that the BIOS cannot detect the drive for some reason any and just freezes. I read the threads on the footprint software but am already run version v1.0.2.32 - so think it is independent.

  I've recently updated firmware OCZ Vertex2 to v1.32 hoping that it could solve the problem and there is not. The question might be more compatible with the Toshiba BIOS Sandforce.

  I am running the BIOS v1.9 - please can you guys do something to fix this?

  > That's obviously a problem with Sandforce
  Always is it that there are several different manufacturers of SSDS, and it might be possible that not all the parties meet the same standards.
  In this case, many manufacturers of SSDS provides updates of the firmware, but this isn't always the case so have to test other SSDS

• Portege R700 - cannot update the BIOS

  Hello
  I recently bought a Portege R700 19 M and I downloaded the latest BIOS version available in the Toshiba support page and when I run the .exe file, it does not work with this message: "the computer is not supported.
  And when I look in the HWSetup Toshiba tool, it does not display the BIOS version but some weird characters (letters not usual) so I can't find out which version is installed.
  Thank you for your help

  Hey Buddy,

  You update the BIOS to the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?
  Are you logged on as administrator when you try the update?

  To be honest I doubt a problem to update the BIOS because I found other threads where users report that BIOS update was successful.

• Portege R700 - BIOS-update 2.20 - WIN does not work

  I have a Portege R700-172-PT311E-03201KGR
  It's a WIN 7 64 bit Machine.

  Current BIOS 1.70
  EC-current Version: 1.40

  For this machine, an update of the BIOS and IT's there.
  So I downloaded the "BIOS220_EC160.exe" update and tried to treat.

  The first message during the update process is: "it is necessary to update the BIOS and THIS.
  When I continue with "Run the update", I get the error message:
  "Error: preparation of updated failed.
  Given the image file is not compatible with this cimputer.

  There is no change in the material of the machine. The only problem I see is that we use McAfee Endpoint Encryption (V6.0.2.6) that could have some influence on the update of the BIOS.

  But I'm not sure.
  Does anyone have an ideas?

  Hello

  BIOS update is important to you?
  Do you have problems with the laptop?

  I have portable three-year-old BIOS was did not updated

  However, AFAIK the VAP (value added package) must be to get the updated BIOS updated. Also the firewalls and other security and antivirus preinstalled on the system software must be disabled before attempting to update the BIOS.

• Can't access BIOS - Portege R500 PPR50E

  Hi, it seems that I cannot access the BIOS on my Portege...

  My BIOS password sometimes but I tell myself that I need to access BIOS immediately after that.

  What is the correct combination please? It's ALT + F12? It does not work... :(

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think that the laptop uses the Toshiba BIOS and that is why you need to press F1, immediately after the laptop has been powered.

  Check out what I think it will work.

• Portege R700 - external DVD Player compatibility

  I have a problem with a Samsung external super-multi drive 2 year with my new Portege R700-1F3, which does not come with a DVD player. The USB powered Samsung dvd player works fine with all other computers that I have access to:
  * MacBook with OS X 10.5
  * Samsung NP - X 360 laptop computer with Windows XP 32-bit
  * Dell Inspiron Zino HD computer desktop with Windows 7 64 bit

  The symptoms are:
  * When the dvd player is plugged in Portege, the green light on the dvd player goes on and out.
  * This happens in the BIOS, and once that Windows 7 32-bit support.
  * In Control Panel Windows 7 devices & printers, the DVD alternately appear & disappear constantly.
  * When it appears, it shows up as "USB storage device" with a yellow! warning icon.

  I tried all 3 USB ports. The power cable is plugged Portege. I tried the turn of the digital signature when starting upwards. The external dvd came free with my old laptop from Samsung and is the model AA-ES0N09B.

  Any suggestion that this is a hardware or software problem and how to fix it?

  Thank you
  Lola

  Hi Lola,.

  Have you tried other USB devices on your Portege R700 if they work properly?

  If peripheral USB do some problems I would try to remove the USB ports from the Device Manager (right click > uninstall) and restart your computer. After that, the USB ports will be recognized again and you are able to use them.

  If it doesn t help I would try a driver update from the official website of Toshiba chipset. http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/

• Portege R700-19 t - new RAM-> start is no longer

  Hello together,

  so I bought two new RAM sticks for my old laptop
  Toshiba Portege R700-19 t

  But since I installed them, the machine does not start in an operating system more.
  The installed Windows 7 64 bit goes to a black screen before the windows at Startup logo (even in safe mode). And after a few seconds, the fans will quickly but nothing seems to happen.

  The next thing I tried was a (12.04) ubuntu live dvd. But it does not either. No error message or anything, just an automatic restart after a few seconds of black screen.

  The next thing was memtest86 + v4.20:
  It crashes immediately sometimes a black screen and sometimes at this http://i.imgur.com/eJqIyDp.jpg .
  I tested my new two sticks together and alone, still the same problem. The old ones that work perfectly and not crash of memtest.

  In the BIOS is the only thing on the memory and then it sees the correct "Total memory size 8192 MB.
  
  Plug portable-mem from toshiba:

  • Standard: 4 (2 + 2) GB
  • Max Speicherausstattung: 8 GB
  • Technology: DDR3 RAM (1,066 MHz)

  Cannes-old (work) ram:
  2 x Samsung 2 GB 1Rx8 PC3 - 10600S - 09 - 10 - ZZZ M471B5773CHS - CH9

  new RAM sticks:
  2 x G.Skill 4 GB DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600)
  link to the shop where I bought it: https://www.alternate.de/G-Skill/SO-...roduct/1154622

  In my understanding of both new sticks should work well with my laptop, or am I missing something?

  concerning

  For me, the question is clear enough; the laptop does not start because of new RAM modules.

  The new RAM modules are not totally compatible, or the RAM modules are defective.

  I recommend you test an other modules; for example modules manufactured by Kingston.

• Portege R700-S1321 - cannot set the resolution of 1366 x 768

  I have exactly the same problem, as shown in:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64809

  The resolution of the laptop to random times and intervals seems to support a maximum of 1280 x 700, which translates into a 2 inch black bar on the right side and the button start Windows 7 off the screen.

  Currently its stuck in the resolution of the screen and no matter what I may not make it back to normal 1366 x 768.

  External monitors very well with the laptop work.

  Its 2.20 BIOS execution that seems to me later.

  It seems that the intel driver must get some information that is incorrect.
  Research on different forums and using moninfo, I see that the internal display does not support EDID and settings appear to be set by the registry somehow.

  I also tried to make an EDID override by creating an inf file that is customized with Moninfo, but appears not to the question of the effect.

  I also tried to restore from the recovery many times discs without success.
  During the installation of windows occurs, the screen is fine.
  When Toshiba additional programs are added to the screen returns to the 1280 x 700.
  I suspect that what happens when the graphics driver intel is installed.

  If I boot the laptop in safe mode resolution is 1366 x 768, which seems to suggest that it is the driver who has a problem.

  Anyone else had this issue and understand how to fix it? I see also that intel do not support EDID override.

  Any idea is appreciated. Thank you.

  > If I boot the laptop in safe mode resolution is 1366 x 768, which seems to suggest that it is the driver who has a problem.

  I think you are on the right track, and I think that his untimely pilot.
  That's why I recommend you to uninstall the Intel graphics driver in Device Manager.

  PORTEGE R700-S1321 was equipped with the Intel® Core i5 - 520 M processor and this processor supports the Intel® HD graphics card

  The latest Intel HD driver can be downloaded directly from the page of Intel:
  [Driver for Intel Core with Intel HD Graphics processors | https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics& ProductLine = graphic + portable + pilots & ProductProduct = Intel % C2% AE + Core E2% 84% A2 + processors + with + Intel % 2 C % AE + HD + Graphics & ProdId = 3231 & LineId 1101 = & FamilyId = 39]

  I need to download the zip package.
  Then you can install the driver through Device Manager by using the Advanced installation procedure. This allows you to link directly to this zip package. Windows system would automatically take the driver. After restarting again you that would have settled the last drivers and you should change your resolution.

• Cannot use 8 GB in Portege R700

  Hello

  I had 2 x 2 GB PC3 10600 ram in my R700 (i3) running Windows 7 x 64.

  I have a few sticks of 4 GB of ram, I wanted to update my laptop 8 GB total.

  I put in the memory which consists of:
  1 x 4 GB PC3 12800
  1 x 4 GB PC3 10600

  The laptop comes on the screen where it says "Starting Windows" and looks like it freezes before windows animation.

  If I try to use 1 x 4 GB (two speeds) and 1 x 2 GB, then Windows starts fine, but there is a problem when I use both the 4 GB sticks.

  I tested the ram with Memtest and they pass the tests.

  If I put the bars of 4 GB of RAM in a R840 (Windows 8.1 Pro), it starts very well.
  If I put the bars of 4 GB of RAM in a R700 (i5 running Windows 8.1 Pro), this also starts very well.

  If I try to put in the sticks of 2 x 4 GB of ram in the R700 i3 and trying to install Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 then happens to the screen that says "Windows is loading files" and the progress bar ends but then the screen goes all white and the fan runs but nothing else happens.

  I have 8 GB of ram in the R700 i3, so I don't know that it supports. The BIOS detects it has 8 GB of ram when I inserted them and the BIOS is updated to the latest version which is 2.20 iirc.

  Anyone can shed light on the problem?

  Hi Borito

  If the specification states that your model of laptop can handle with 8 GB of RAM, that we should not discuss this topic.
  By RAM upgrade is important to use 100% compatible and two modules of identical RAM (same specifications).
  I tested it on my machine using too much standard and a cheap RAM and my machine was dead. With two modules of identical RAM, everything is OK.

  Can you please send the name of the exact model of your laptop Portege (R700-xxx) and I'll try to find the exact reference for 4 GB of RAM for this model of laptop.

• Portege R700 - problem with fingerprints to connect on Win7

  I have problems with my new Portege R700 with fingerprint reader to log on Win 7 acount.

  I have digital fingerprints installation to the system via the Toshiba fingerprint utility. Several times I can wake up the Portege of sleep or turn it on, fingerprints from the BIOS is accepted, after which appears logon screen in Win7 and in some cases, I'm able to connect automatically to this account. In some cases just system is pending, it is not possible to login with the password. I restart phone, sometimes more than once.

  You can help someone? I have already several times removed, Setup still traces of fingers, I updated the utility and the new driver fingerprint - nothing does not.

• Portege R700 - change order of remote start

  Hi all

  Is it possible to change a Toshiba Portege R700 BIOS remotely? -Specifically to change the boot order to a PXE boot (instead of HARD drive).

  I intend to deploy images on our laptops using SCCM 2007 but it takes a utility to change the BIOS settings. HP and Dell, both allow you to do so, as Toshiba?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey,.

  As I know that it is not possible to change the BIOS settings remotley s but what you can do is to use a Windows remote connection or another remote control based on Windows of the program and then use the preinstalled Toshiba HWsetup tool. Tool for configuring the BIOS, where you can change the boot order and other options based on this Windows s BIOS.

  It should work! :)

• Portege R700 - problems with video playback with resolution more 360 p

  I have this problem of video playback on the first day. While for example on YouTube, video resolution than 360 freeze while the sound is ok.

  I contacted Toshiba whereby I had a linke for the bios and latest drivers. After the upgrade question persists. Sometimes I get a green screen by watching the video flash as well. I guess it's a hardware graphics card problem. Any ideas? Thank you! (Portege R700 19 L, win7 pro 64)

  Do you have this problem in full-screen-only mode or in full and normal mode?
