• Portege Z930 - function key does not

  Hi, new to this forum. I have a laptop of z930 - 14 d Portege with 64 bit system with Intel Core i5-3437U processor and Windows 7 Professional. I used an external display until recently. When I stopped using it, I noticed that the function of the display brightness key did not work. When I pressed fn and f6 or f7 key, brightness adjustment has come, but I change the brightness. All the other key fn associated operations were very good. I have seen some forums online for this problem and followed their recommendation around the diplay driver upgrade and added value pack from the United Kingdom takes care of Toshiba Web site. Also click on restart flash cards. Nothing seems to have worked and now the fn itself stopped working for example, nothing happens when I press the fn key and I can't perform any operation using the fn key. Please suggest what could be a solution to this problem. Thank you.

  Uninstalled then reinstalled display driver and added value pack and the fn key is back but still can not change the brightness. Please notify.

• Portege Z930: Loss of Fn keys after upgrade to win 8 - can't turn WiFi switch

  After several months waiting for my hour I just began my Portege Z930 - 11G for Windows 8 Pro upgrade.

  To a large extent, it went to the plan except that, after execution to display the Assistant Toshiba Upgrade I lost the Fn key and about half of the keys no longer seem to work at all.

  The only key I've ever used on a routine basis is the Fn + F8 option to activate the power switch WiFi.

  So now, I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.

  It must, surely, that there be a way to do it, but I'm not. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm OK for now because I have a local cable system in the House, but once I get out on the road I will fight without WiFi.

  Before running the wizard upgrade of the Fn key grew up the key appear in the upper part of the screen and I want to surely I had turned on WiFi right here.

  The Fn key utility offers very little control of the Fn keys. It does not offer the possibility to do anything else than to disable five notifications screen for keyboard backlighting, power plan, touch pad and cursor overlay digital overlay.

  Any help gratefully received.

  > So now I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.
  First of all, you can enable and disable the WiFi using the function key, but you can also activate the WLan settings of Windows 8
  Key Win + C-> settings-> change PC settings-> wireless

  Now, you can use the cursor to wireless devices to enable or disable the WiFi network.

  But to get the FN button work you need to install the + Toshiba function key + Utility for win 8 and + Toshiba system driver + to win 8

• Portege Z930 - 14 X - need key for the new installation of Windows 7

  Hello

  our company bought a Toshiba Portege Z930 - 14 X, and it is necessary to do a clean install of Windows 7.

  Unfortunately there is no key working Windows 7 can be found anywhere on the unit.
  I read the installation key, but the key is not supposed to be activated, so does not work for a clean install.

  There is usually a sticker of license at the bottom of the device, but this laptop has nothing.

  So, where can I find this Windows 7 key?

  Kind regards
  GSUs

  > Unfortunately there is no key working Windows 7 can be found anywhere on the unit.

  If you want to use a clean Windows system, you must purchase the MS Windows disk containing the serial key.
  Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Toshiba image containing the OEM version of the Windows system and drivers. This image is already enabled. The series key isn t necessary.

• Portege Z930 - display driver does not work properly

  Hello

  We have a Portege Z930 with Windows 7 64 bit in use where the Intel display driver seem to work fine.

  First problem is the slow presentation on screen - if we open a (simple JPG) photo and move the window, the frame window break during the move and showed very weird.

  Then, we have installed a U3.0 dynadock docking for the use of two external displays more. This method works even worse. To the docking station, we used the driver from the CD supplied in the delivery and connect to a USB 3.0 connector.

  On starting switching on 2 screens instead of internally for computer laptop screen does not work - and we use workaround of using an extended desktop on all 3 displays (2 external and internal display for laptop as the third).

  In Internet Explorer, it should turn off GPU Rendering and use Software Rendering rather because otherwise, we observed critical irregularities on the external screens (with 2 Windows Open the screen froze or could not display Windows Mobile). However the display isn't satisfactioning.

  We have tried 3 different versions of the recommended Driver Intel which is also offered by Toshiba to download; We loaded it is there and also 2 versions more (a more recent, one older) Intel directly.

  So, how can we get this working properly?

  Thanks in advance and best regards,
  N. Cochems

  More importantly. Make sure you have Service Pack 1 installed Win7. New laptops have problems running in win7 RTM (without service pack).

  It seems that Windows uses the standard VGA driver instead of the Intel driver. Uninstall all display drivers from Control Panel-> programs and features and then go to the Toshiba website and install the utility Intel Chipset then the Intel display driver, then go to DisplayLink.com and install the latest DisplayLink driver for the dynadock. The new software v7.xx DisplayLink driver fixes several issues found in v6.xx drivers.

  Verify that the Intel drivers are installed properly in Device Manager.

• Portege Z930 - network WLan problems

  Z930 Windows 7 is 3 years old.
  I'm having problems connecting to the home network and I do not understand the clues to work towards a solution.

  Other laptops can connect to the wired network and wireless, but cant Z930, or down and will not show the home network.

  Appear networks nearby.

  Z930 can connect to the point of mobile internet access on phones, but that does not provide access to servers and network.

  Disable the Firewall Norton 360 and the protection doesn't seem to help.

  At a time and only once, I saw the message invalid network address.

  Logical, said the material is OK because can connect to the wifi phone.

  I don't know where to begin try andworkout why z930 can't seen to connect to the home network.

  > I'm having problems connecting to the home network and I do not understand the clues to work towards a solution.
  I want to be sure I understood your problem:

  You ve set up the wireless network at home (I assume you are using the WLan router, etc.) but you are not able to connect the Portege Z930 to your wireless home network.
  Is this correct?

  Since you are able to connect this notebook to internet hotspots (public WLan) I guess the wireless network for laptop s and WLan card driver are installed and are working correctly.

  Are you able to connect the laptop to the internet using LAN?

  In case this also not possible, you must reset your router and should go through the router options unique to ensure that each option has been set correctly.

  In addition I recommend you renew the IP address by typing this command using the console (to start the console type CMD in RUN)
  In the Console (black DOS window), you must type: + IPCONFIG / RENEW.
  This would renew the ip address that is assigned automatically the provided by the router ip address pool.

• Problem domain Portege Z930-13 x - error Windows 8 - network

  I can't restart the computer with a cd/dvd-rom or a usb pen with hirens boot or other kinfd of the software that I use.

  In my opinion that's not Toshiba related question and the answer should be offered by Microsoft.

  I hope someone can help. If you will be able to find solution to be nice and post small report on this issue.

• Portege Z930 - question of Toshiba Recovery Media Creator

  Hello
  I have a toshiba portege z930 pt234e with Windows 7 Professional
  I have connected the external optical drive and has worked fine
  But when I installed the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator, the external optical drive disappeared
  When I open the box drive HARD Toshiba Recovery Media Creator, shows, no. recovery!
  I want to do a system recovery disc

  Hello

  The Recovery Media Creator is a tool of Toshiba which requires Toshiba image files to create the recovery disk. The image files are placed on a different partition called recovery of HARD drive partition.

  If the HARD drive has been changed or deleted this partition, the recovery media creator will not be able to find image files and you will not be able to create this disc.

  So my question is: you reinstall Windows 7 at your own hand? Did you change the HARD drive in the past?

• Portege Z930-10F - broken the screen twice in just 3 months

  I am user of laptop for 12 years. On 30 July, I bought my Portege Z930, thinking it was my best decision for many years.
  Less than a month later, at the opening of the screen during a flight, it s simply broken the screen, it is impossible to use the most.

  After sending to the official service in Spain, told me it was my fault and bad usage, so I had to pay more than 300 ($ 400). I told the customer, explaining about their excessive flexible top and rigid screen support and nothing again.
  It's only my fault.

  Last October, 11 again at the opening of my top, this time by using a label of band fixed by myself, in order to avoid the mixing of the screen, it scraped again.

  I can't afford it is only my fault, but it's a real design problem, for the lighter ultrabook in the market.

  If someone can give me the support for this serious problem, it will be very appreciated

  Hello

  It's really amazing story and I think you're the first person who says something like that.
  Portege Z930 has long been on the market and I have never heard of these issues.
  Please don t get me wrong, but it is really strange that happening already three times.

  I saw this machine and all the construction seems pretty stable for me. When you open the screen, I hope that your fingers are placed in the middle of the display panel and not by the side. The pressure on the hinges of the screen coverage must be the same. If you want to display on one side only, I can imagine that something like this can happen, but it shouldn't t.

  Portege series is one of the best portable Toshiba s business so I think that the Toshiba and technicians designer take very seriously and I can't imagine that they make this mistake of design.

  I still have some old Portege 2000 and it was lighter for laptop at this time with very sensitive display and the hinges of the screen cover, but there is no problem at all.

  We can discuss here everyday and I really hope that someone with the Portege even can post experiences, but all of that, that you try to clarify with Toshiba. Be careful when you open and hold the display in the Middle only.

  Good luck.

  This Ultrabook is already deployed for VIP and windows of opportunity for quick testing.

  We are oppened to any constructive suggestion, thank you in advance.

  Hello

  It seems that it's not laptop problem.
  Maybe his Intel issue because I found this thread in the forum Intel and it seems that this Intel igfxext.exe process hangs on mobile phones from other manufacturers too.
  http://communities.Intel.com/thread/31920

  I found another suggestion: just rename the file igfxext.exe to something like * igfxext.dat* and restart the laptop. It would be interesting to know if that helps.

• Portege Z930 - how to check if the BT is turned on?

  I have my Bluetooth jambox added as a device but when I play music on Portege Z930, sound comes from speakers portable jambox not.

  Icon in the system tray, checked the settings but can't tell if bluetooth is actually on. Can anyone help?
  Thank you

  BT Manager (application) runs in the background. There is small BT symbol in the taskbar. Where BT is the symbol is bluish and when BT is OFF then the color changes to red and blue. This happen when you have Win7.

  On my machine with Win8 by using the key combination FN + F12 is symbol of BT he or she is gone where BT is DISABLED.

  JamBox is unknown to me but check it please manuals and make sure that you can switch to ands matching on your usage of portable option in BT Manager add a device. It shouldn't be so complicated.

• How to install Win8 on Portege Z930

  Hello

  We have a Portege Z930 with Win 7 preinstalled.
  Now, we want to spend to Win 8.
  There were two Win8 DVD provided.

  Can I use this upgrade DVD?
  How can I use DVDs without a drive?

  I tried with another laptop DVD and the DVD is not bootable.

  Any tips?

  Thanks in advance!

  Kind regards
  Nicole

  Hello

  > How to use the DVD without a player?
  I guess that you can use if you do not have external CD/DVD drive

  Perhaps you could borrow the car to a friend

  If not try to copy the contents of the disc to a key memory USB flash and then try to boot from the stick.
  But to be honest, I not quite sure m TI would work.

• Portege Z930 - 12 H - update of the BIOS and McAfee Endpoint Encryption?

  The update to the latest BIOS (Ver.6.70) for my laptop Portege Z930 12 H comes with the warning:

  «If you use the BitLocker Windows Drive encryption, please temporarily suspend (or turn off) before BitLocker Drive Encryption updated BIOS.»

  The same caveat applies to McAfee Endpoint Encryption, which is used on my laptop and I can * not * pause or stop? Or can I apply the upgrade of the BIOS safely?

  Thank you.

  As much I know Bitlocker isn't related to Antivirus from McAfee software and two security tools are not connected to each other. BitLocker is a tool for Microsoft Windows and McAfee is a 3rd party software preinstallation on the device.

  I found a nice how doc on the update of the BIOS.

• Portege Z930-146: BSOD running Win 7 64 bit - support pointers and advice

  Hello

  First post following the latter (academia / business) purchase of a Portege Z930-146 (serial number XC141056H, short PT235E part number).

  Configured the pre-installation software 64 - bit W7, local installed, delivery to the primary user (the boss).

  User reports 3 BSOD in a few days - I have the mini-decharges and made first order analysis using blue-screen display:

  PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA (ntoskrnl.exe)
  SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (dxgkrnl.exe)
  MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (ntoskrnl.exe)

  We really are the guys from UNIX, so it is not familiar territory.

  I just updated the BIOS but now have a long (50 +) list of possible drivers also be updated. One at a time to download and install?

  I ran the diagnostics memory and disk - without errors or warnings that are reported.

  Can someone identify a likely problem, or direct me gently in the direction of the road to official support of Toshiba please or suggest next steps?

  Thank you in advance,

  GLM

  Ntoskrnl.exe is a Microsoft kernel boot and the dxgkrnl.exe seems to have something to do with the chart.

  I recommend to check if the update of the display driver would improve the performance of the system.
  Then visit the Toshiba UE driver page, select the Satellite Z930 PT235E and download the latest display driver Intel.
  Z930-146 was equipped with chip Intel HD Graphics 4000, so you need the Intel driver.

  You can also try to download the driver directly from the Intel page since they always provide the latest version.
