• Portege Z930: How to keep the battery alive as long as possible?

  Hello

  Got a Portege Z930 recently, I do not know how to manage the recharge of the battery in order to maintain 'live' as long as possible.

  I'm mainly using computer at home, to leave the battery and then recharge, but I'm not sure it's a good idea. I had an A-200 before satellite, also use it at home and keep connected all the time; After a few years, the battery capacity decreases

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  > after a few years, the battery capacity decreases

  It's nothing unusual after a few years of any battery would start to lose performance.
  Generally speaking after 500 times charge cycles the battery begins to lose clean performance.

  Of course you can remove the battery and could use the laptop only connected to the power adapter, but in this case, the laptop would shut down when making connection interrupted.

  To extend the battery work, you will need to calibrate the battery from time to time.
  To calibrate the battery, you must discharge the battery until it is completely empty. Then connect the power adapter and charge the battery up to full charge. Repeat this procedure two or three times in the line.

  Greetings.

  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.

  > 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 - BSOD kernel data by page fault

  Recently (3 days ago) my girlfriend bought Portege Z930, and she becomes BSOD kernel data in error page, randomly (battery or AC).

  Hardware config is: Core i3 Mobile i3-3217U, DDR3 4 GB, HD Graphics 4000, SSD 128 GB
  Software: it didn't install new programs, using the trial version of office, Google chrome and windows 7 64 bit which was pre-installed. Anyone have any idea, what could be the cause of bsod? Preinstalled software from Toshiba? Hardware malfunction?

  Also because off-topic information autonomy point is up to 5 hours (wifi on, light off, bright screen keyboard: 40%)

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. In my opinion, you should make data backup and install the OS by using HARD drive recovery option.

  After that do what you will have new own preinstalled OS. Test a few days without having to install anything just to see if the error appears again.

  Installation of HARD drive recovery operation, you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

• Portege Z930 cannot start with installed RAM module

  My laptop Toshiba Portege Z930-108 has stopped booting with any module of RAM installed in the support.

  If I remove RAM module, laptop computer starts and works fine, but if I install any module of RAM (4 GB 1600 original or a new 4 1600 CL9 or 1600 8 CL11) the computer cannot start.

  The screen stays black and power led flashing two green and two orange and a few seconds later, 3G indicator also on blue.

  This is the only problem I have with this computer, but it's strange.

  I updated the BIOS to the latest version and the problem is not resolved.

  I tried to reset the hardware (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB3B03J90000R01.htm), also I tried to reset the equipment with power button 30 seconds without battery but button without success.

  Any idea on this problem of strage?

  Kind regards
  Lito.

  I guess you used bad RAM or not fully compatible modules.
  It's the only plausible explanation.

  I recommend you to order the RAM modules recommended by Toshiba that are:

  4 GB DDR3 - 1600 PA5037U-1M4G

  2 GB DDR3 - 1600 PA5037U-1M2G

• 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.

• 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.
