Portege Z830 - Port of Communication (COM1) necessary

Have upgraded to a Portege Z830 and need a Com1 port, which was available on previous laptop IBM running XP Pro. Is this possible and if so, what is the methodology in creating?

Portege running Windows 7, 64 bit, similar to a new PC. PC says COM1, so we assume that it is not a Windows problem, but specific to the laptop. Thanks in advance

Hello

After reading your ad, I must ask you: what is your problem with this laptop Portege?
I know now to maybe stupid question, but each new Toshiba notebook is preinstalled with original image of recovery with all the necessary drivers. All hardware must be installed correctly.

So, what do you do with your Portege and COM1 port?

  • Portege Z830-10F - WLAN stops working when USB3.0 port is in use

    Hello

    On my Portege Z830-10F wireless stops working when I plug in a device on the USB 3 port. The wireless connection back upwards as soon as I remove the device.

    The problem occurs with any device I plug. I tested with disks external usb (usb 2 and usb 3), USB, a receiver wireless mouse and a printer/scanner.

    This problem only occurs when something is connected to the USB 3 port. The USB 2 ports on the rear do not have the problem.

    Port USB 3 itself works very well.

    Running windows 8 pro:
    * Wireless lan adapter: Qualcomm Atheros AR9200WB-1NG (version 10.0.0.75 driver)
    * USB port 3: Renesas USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0096 (version 6.2.9200.16420 driver)

    I see that I ve got the latest drivers installed on the wireless LAN card and the usb host controller 3.

    The problem arises as well on windows 7 and windows 8 pro. I used the wizard to upgrade Toshiba upgrade of windows 7 to windows 8.

    This problem is present since I got this laptop. I ve already done a reinstall / recovery back to the original with windows configuration 7 but this doesn´t solve the problem.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Is there a way to fix this?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    To be honest, it's the first time I read on this issue.
    I have no idea how a device attached to the USB 3.0 port could affect the Wlan functionality.

    I assume its hardware fault and cela must be verified by a certified maker Toshiba.

  • How to increase the video memory on Portege Z830 - 11 M?

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Portege Z830 - 11M. I want to increase the video memory.
    I don't know if it's possible and how to do it. I tried to open the bios by pressing the F2 key (as in the product specifications, I received with my laptop) and I arrived at the Toshiba help settings. The ESC and F1 keys open the Windows startup settings. If anyone can help me, please advice.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Mishal

    In general the Portégé Z830 - 11 M is designed to escort us in usual daily activities such as sending mail, Office Automation and communication internet and feature thin and lightweight design allows us to take it anywhere.

    Hardware configuration has limited the performance of course, but at the same time offer excellent multitasking and long battery life. As far as I know on this machine you will not find any option to increase the performance of the GPU and everything that it works automatically.

    According to some feedback non demanding games should be playable with this graphics card too.
    I can't imagine that you want to play games with this machine so I would like to know what it is to ask about the graphics performance more.

  • 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 - 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

  • 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: None buttons FN and fingerprints after Win 8 upgrade

    I have a Portege Z830 PT224V with windows 7 64 bit... I went for the upgrade of Windows 8, but get as error "/ windows Explorer is not responding", I decided to clean up the computer and start again.

    I chose a "all delete and reinstall Windows" option in windows 8, which is used when things do not work. By doing this, I got a new installation of windows and eliminate errors.

    Now my 'Portege Z830' specificities as finger print scanning and other controls of forces nouvelles (Fn F6 and F7 to control brightness and all other functions) don't work anymore.

    I tried to download the drivers but seems that they do not enter the set of drivers.
    Is there a way I can back the controls? Maybe some tools or something?

    Simply put: a USB 3.0 port does not work but the other USB 2.0 works correctly.
    Right?
    > because one day before, I had a moment really difficult mounting a USB flash and may have damaged connectors.
    This could be possible, perhaps that damage you it to the other hand, I recommend to check the Device Manager if all USB ports are recognized.

  • Portege Z830: Cannot install Win7, complains about driver CD/DVD

    Hello!

    I have a brand new Portege Z830 and as usual wanted to start by installing a new installation of Windows 7 x 64 (that I don't want the software provided and cannot be trusted, that it is safe in any case). I have saved all of the disk, prepared a flashdisk USB bootable with Windows Setup and it. The flashdisk OK boots, Windows wonder about my language and keyboard, and then shows a screen where I can choose between installation, repair and something else (the Recovery Console, I think).

    I click on install, Windows starts the installation program aand once a first dialog box appears, it displays an error message that basically says (this is a translation of the message from my localized Windows): "a required CD/DVD drive driver is missing. If you use a driver from the floppy disk, CD, DVD, or the flashdisk, insert now. "And I can't get over this error message. The strange thing is, there is no reason for that Windows requires no additional driver, because he can read the installation flashdisk (apparently) and he can see the ultrabook SSD, too (can be verified as well in the recovery console and clicking the browse of this dialog box). So far I have tried:

    (1) four different Windows 7 images (two of them to MSDN AA, two physical, that have been used successfully to install the OS before).

    (2) switch SATA mode to AHCI Compatible.

    (3) two different flashdisks.

    (4) any combination of the boot order.

    Nothing has worked. I even tried e-mailing of Toshiba, but all messages to return with 'user unknown' (understandable, I had to guess addresses since Toshiba doesn't seem to provide some official way to communicate with them - or is hiding if well I have found it). Does anyone have an idea what I can try next? I rather like the Z830 and I'd love to use it, but the ability to install my own installation of the operating system is essential for me.

    Thanks, Pepak

    > I tried e-mailing of Toshiba...
    Maybe stupid question now, but have you tried to contact Microsoft too? If the BIOS is OK, and if all the USB ports work correctly, I don t think it is Toshiba related issue. Toshiba offers notebook with the original recovery image (WIN7 64-BIT HOME PREMIUM) and ability to create bootable USB stick with the recovery image that can be used when you want.

    What you do now is your own installation of the OS. Toshiba has to do is to offer to all the important factors, download tools and utilities on the drivers page.

    What else could you try? Try to get external USB ODD and trying to install WIN7 using Microsoft installation disc. I'm sure it will work.

  • Portege Z830 - on a clean install of windows access keys

    What do I need to work the KEYS FN on a clean install of Windows?

    Hello world

    Would you please let me know for the OEM to Windows 7 64 bit on my Portege Z830-M110, how can I make ISO file?
    I need to reinstall my Windows on a new SSD. I need to remove the current one and re-install WIndows again. I need to have the Windows CD that I don't have. My Windows is pre-installed on my Toshiba laptop that I bought in 2012-2013.

    I noticed that I can browse "Toshiba Media recovery Creator". I have the file on my laptop but it is not installed. I went through the drivers, but there is no software to download and install to make this option active. I noticed there is a download of the utility on the Australian website with 2.1.5.5109 version for PT225A - 00400G rather than my PT224E-01001YAR and I do not know if I have to install that!
