• Portege Z830 - restoration and reconstruction

  I have a Portege Z830 who plays up!.

  I tried to load on the main drivers of function and a few other utilities toshiba to get the lit keyboard, IE helps high and low BRIGHTNESS keys. It did not work.

  Since then, my laptop takes centuries start, I can't use windows update, it crashes and he asks me my password but I can not enter as it crashes again.
  If I use windows troubleshooting tool, which weighs too much. And internet Explorer within the win8.1 does not even the bbc.

  I'm close enough to think that I have to do a full rebuild.

  My challenge is that it is installed with Windows 7 and I have upgraded to windows 8 and 8.1.

  My questions are:
  1. everyone knows what precedes and is there quick ways to solve the above problems.
  2. What is the best way to rebuild my laptop, I have to go back to windows 7 and then upgrade to windows 8 again?

  Ideas gratefully received, I'm ok, reconstruction not eager not to there because it takes forever to backup and restore, and I must be missing something. But I think its necessary.

  As far as I know that the Portege or Satellite Z830 series was not supported to win 8.1 by Toshiba because he did not appear in the Windows 8.1 compatibility matrix.

  This means also to win 8.1 drivers or software for this series isn't available and not downloadable. This could be the reason why you n t get some special features for laptop.

  From my point of view of a few you might try to fix the Win 8.1 preinstalled using the repair feature s own system. If this doesn t help, I'm afraid, you need to restore the system of m.

  Are you what is the best way to rebuild the laptop?
  Well, it depends on the operating system.

  The Portege Z830 was pre-installed with Win 7. In this case the use of the Toshiba recovery disc install Win 7 again.
  If you want to reuse 8.1 Win, you have two choices: either you would update the Win 7 system-> 8-> 8.1 Win Win
  Or you buy the Win 8.1 Microsoft license and install own 8.1 win on this laptop.

  But as I said above: the drivers Win 8.1 and the software isn't available for this model

• Alternative for Portege Z830 power Chargers

  Hello

  I've got PORTEGE Z830 - 11 M and with original 45W, 19V * PA3822U-1ACA * adapter.

  Can I use to recharge more powerful 75W, the original TOSHIBA 19V * PA3468E-1AC3 * adapter, I have on another location?

  Is this good for z830 or not and why? The only difference between them is power, I guess more is better (less heat for the charger) or not?

  Thank you for the answers.

  For AC adapter Volt and ampere values are important.
  Therefore, use a power adapter 19V. The value of intensity may be a little higher but shall not be less.

  The form of mathematics for watt is: volts x amps = watts

• How to control the fan on Portege Z830?

  I have a Portege Z830 with BIOS version 1.7 and I am very upset by the noise of the fan.
  I was wondering if it is possible to control the fan noise, so I started to experiment with a little utility called SpeedFan. I put in place so that the fan will not turn on until the temperature of the processor exceeds a defined number. But it does not; It seems that the BIOS is ignorant these parameters.

  So my question is how can I set the fan to work my way?

  There are not many options to control the fan.

  The fan is controlled by the BIOS. The fan table that is stored in the BIOS contains information how a cooling module must operate.

  As mentioned by Liam, you can change the settings of power plant of Win 7 more battery as a way to minimize the performance of fans
  This should help a little...

  In other http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65068 thread, I found a neat trick of the last user... He replaced Z830 fan with the fan of Z930 origin...
  It worked.

• Portege Z830 - BIOS update fails

  I can't say anything on this issue but if your laptop works well don t change anything.
  Out of curiosity but don't use you original pre-installed BONES that you got with your Portege?

• 1.60 BIOS does not recognize the USB bootable in Portege Z830

  Hello
  I have a Portege Z830 with BIOS version 1.60. It runs an operating system, ubuntu, (without a windows OS, it is not possible to upgrade the BIOS). I have a USB bootable (debian, created by copying a .iso image using dd) which works on other computers, but not on this one. With the USB at the top of the boot priority, it is not recognized as a device start-up and the computer boots from the HARD drive. The boot is in legacy mode, no UEFI (there is no switch in the menu of the UEFI/legacy BIOS).

  Pointers how to allow a booting from a USB key on this computer?

  Thank you and best regards,

  James

  As you probably know, Toshiba does not support Linux so you can't upgrade the BIOS under Linux OS.
  Also, it is not available to be installed from USB.

  It runs as an application and must be run under Windows running.

• Portege Z830 - fan noisy and almost always running

  My new Portege Z830 has the issue of noisy fan and almost always running which has been said here before.

  Recommendations were that we download bios 1.6. But I checked and that the version is already installed on my machine. I also adjusted the power save mode battery parameters as others have suggested. But that made no difference,

  All the other tips has been give in technical language far this beginner.

  If anyone has any suggestions they might put in words of one syllable and the step by step instructions, I would be eternally grateful. Thank you.

  I found also two documents from Toshiba on exactly this topic and as saying that update BIOS version 1.60 or higher would solve the problem

• USB 3.0 issues with Portege Z830 & Renesas electronic drivers

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Portege Z830. Until today I have use any pendrive USB 3.0 external. I bought a Kingston HyperX, but when I try to use it, the port recognizes the drive, but disappears in a few seconds...

  Also when I use a port USB 2.0 back, it displays the unit, but it cannot read the contents of the USB drive.

  I checked in internet forums, and I see similar cases, but not a clear solution...

  More information:

  1. the disc works if I restart windows on SafeMode (Windows 7-64 bit)
  2. the disc works on other computers (without electronic drivers Renesas).

  I think it's a problem of Renesas electronic drivers, but I've updated, installed the modern version, power usb change, etc. but no solution...

  This ultrabook is an expensive appliance, as well as the USB key, and of course, this should be a solution...

  Thank you for your help

  Hello

  I downloaded the latest 2.1.28.0 USB 3.0 v driver available from the Toshiba UE driver page.
  The fichiers.ini (64 bit driver) contains information that this USB 3.0 host controller driver is developed by Renesas Electronics Corporation.

  I read a lot about the problems of USB 3.0 as part of different devices to USB 3.
  The questions are not related to a specific manufacturer for laptop or device in most of the cases it s a compatibility issue between the two devices, I think that's most of the time impossible to test all USB 3.0 flash drives, HARD drive, etc. with different controllers USB 3.0 for compatibility problems always seems

  I found a 3rd party page where you can find a few other drivers USB 3.0 of Renesas and NEC. But the use of these drivers is at your risk and perils do not know if they work properly.
  http://www.station-drivers.com/page/Renesas.htm

  I think you might have to force windows to use the specified driver, then first choose "Browse my computer dethrone" and then "Let me pick from a list of device drivers...". ». This must be done in the Device Manager.

  Would be interesting to know how it works

• Portege Z830 - Bios password change/remove

  When I started my new Portege Z830, it gave me the opportunity during the entire upward, to put a bios password.

  I did, but I am now regret, as I have to present two passwords, bios and windows, can start to do something. As I need the BIOS one, how in the system to edit or delete, now that I don't have access to all of the screens?

  Thank you

  You can delete it in the BIOS options directly or using Toshiba tool in Windows supervisor password utility.

  I recommend to proceed to a complete stop and restart after laptop enter the BIOS settings and delete here.

• Re: Portege Z830 with keyboard United States in Europe?

  Hello

  I am interested in getting a Toshiba Portege Z830. Unfortunately, everywhere I looked this unit is offered with UK keyboard (i.e. high enter key, running toward the left, / between moving to the left and Z) which is a real bother. I live in Poland and our keyboard is identical to the United States one, so I'm used to and have on other computers, I'm working on. Toshiba always offers its computers (at least in Poland) with the UK keyboard layout.

  My question is whether it is possible to buy Toshibe Portege Z830 with a keyboard layout of United States in Europe?

  I contacted Toshiba Polish hotline, but they did not support in this case.

  > My question is if it is possible to buy the Toshiba Portege Z830 with a keyboard layout of United States in Europe?

  Maybe you should order a U.S. version of Portege Z830 :(
  On the other hand, you could order a keyboard support a US provision and replace it.
  Usually, the registered maintainer Toshiba in your country should be able to provide this single keyboard.

• Fresh install of Windows 7 on Portege Z830-10R with new mSata SSD

  I have Toshiba Portege Z830-10r and you want to reinstall Windows 7 costs on mSata new SSD.

  The problem is, * Windows does not recognize the device and wants additional drivers.*

  The 120 GB SSD Kingston is visible in the BIOS, updated automatically in AHCI mode (no option to change).
  How to fix?

  > The 120 GB SSD Kingston is seen in the BIOS.
  Where did you see the SSD in BIOS?
  If it is stated on the first page of the BIOS, including the name of readers and other details such as the size of the SSD?
  If the SSD drive is recognized properly, there must be another question, why the system requires drivers.

  I m wondering what camera you used to install Windows 7.
  Boot you from external CD/DVD USB drive or did you use the USB flash memory key to install the Win 7 OS?

  The point why I m asking is one of the key flash memory forum members used USB to reinstall the Win 7 OS on the same model of laptop, and it was not possible because the USB flash memory stick has been connected to the USB 3.0 port.

  In case you have also connected the device to the USB 3.0, please try other * USB 2.0 port reinstall the system!

• Portege Z830 - can't boot from DVD

  I have a Portege Z830-11F. I upgraded my machine to Windows 8 and but I didn't like it. So I decided to do a clean install of Windows 7.

  I downloaded the file .iso on the internet and it was engraved on a DVD.
  I plugged in my external DVD drive, rebooted, entered in the BIOS and changed the boot order and restarted again.

  Everything went well and I was able to install Windows 7.
  But I didn't have the drivers, (thought the BONE would recognise the driver LAN at least, I was wrong)
  So I've upgraded to Windows 8 again (without restarting) just to download the drivers for Windows 7.

  I did, but now I can't boot from the DVD.
  When I enter the boot order section, sometimes the DVD is listed, sometimes not.

  In both cases, the machine starts with Windows 8 straightly, does not allow me to boot from the DVD.
  The strange thing is that I was able to start on the same DVD in the first place.

  What can I do to start from the DVD?

  At first, I must say that I n t understand why you didn't create recovery media before you changed something. Using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator you can create USB recovery and the whole situation would be not so complicated. This recovery image is activated but now if you install own OS version you will not be able to use the product key you got with your laptop.

  Anyway, now proceed to a complete stop Win8 and after having this beginning for laptop and use F12 to get into the boot menu. Of course your external DVD must be connected before starting your laptop. It may be that external drive is allowed on the like on my U940 USB boot option.

• Portege Z830-10R - some FN + Fx buttons do not work properly

  On a new Portege Z830-10R, I have a problem with some functions of keys FN +.
  Any who are ok (i.e. fn + f1, regulations of volume fn + 3/4).
  Others, like the light regulation (fn + f6/f7) and a keyboard light (fn + z) do not work.
  I adjourned Toshiba value added package and BIOS, but the problem is not resolved.

  I can try to fix this?
  I thank in advance.

  Have you noticed this problem since the first day of purchase, or maybe after some 3rd party software installation or a few Windows updates?
  If installation of the VAP or the update does not resolve it, then you should grab the laptop using Toshiba HDD recovery and should test it by using Notepad with the factory settings.

• Battery discharge even if Portege Z830 is off

  I have a Toshiba Portege Z830-10F.

  I have a question and a question about the consumption of the battery while the PC is turned off.

  Which means that when I stop the machine, when I restart the device one day after (or during the night) my battery level decreased significantly (10-15%).

  I even had the case where, after a period of 3 to 4 days, long weekend during which the aircraft had not been in service AT ALL, I could not reboot the computer, because the battery has decreased.

  I had to plug in and then start it.

  This seems rather odd and strange and would so whether there is a specific setting had to be changed so that it does not happen.

  I upgraded to the latest version of the Bios (v 1.40) and that doesn't change.

  I look forward to your help and your support.

  Stephan

  > Which means that when I stop the machine, when I restart the device one day after (or during the night) my battery level has declined significantly (10-15%).

  This can result from certain options enabled in the BIOS.
  For example option Wake up LAN or keyboard or power of dough at low level to use even if the laptop is turned off. Disabling this option might help with this problem.

• Portege Z830-PT224E - Windows 7 display of function FN has lost

  Suddenly, I realized that I lost the display function button.

  In addition, some function keys do not work like the brightness, the keyboard light, wireless.
  However, some such as volume and mute control still works although not displayed as flashcrads.

  I downloaded the latest software of value added and enabled, and the flashcrads it has not changed anything.

  My system is Portege Z830-PT224E with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium SP1

  As far as I know you can use the FN key for the function keys, but also the function keys would work without pressing the FN key. In this case the function mode must be enabled in the BIOS.
  Please go to BIOS (F2) > Advanced-> system configuration

  Here, you should see the special function key mode (without pressing the FN key) that can be enabled or disabled.

  But if this issue is software related, it would be pointless to change this option.
  I think that in this case you must first uninstall the VAP.

  Then you must clean the registry with CCLeaner.
  Restart the laptop between procedures and then install the most recent PPV available for Win 7 64 bit

  Reboot once more, and then test the FN keys. Good luck
