Qosmio F10: Cannot set up the TV Tuner!

I can't be able to receive any form of TV on my Qosmio F10 signal.

I tried a manual and automatic TV signal setup in Windows Media Center, while only connected to various points of antenna and my satellite receiver, but the software manages never actually receive any form of signal.

I checked each of the cables works properly by connecting it to a TV, and there is certainly a good signal.

All I can think is there is a problem with my Toshiba TV Tuner hardware (I uninstalled and rebooted to reinstall drivers TV Tuner), or possibly the adapter cable little.

Someone else had this problem?

Any ideas?

Ok... No one has any ideas, then!

Here's an update... I took my Qosmio F10 at the shop where I bought and showed them the problem.

They were very helpful and offered to test their display machine. He struggled, but finally picked up a garbled from an antenna signal.

They agreed that my Qosmio was wrong and pulled another out of stock. We decided to check quickly to see that another did not pick up a signal either!

As they had no more stock, I agreed to take the display model at home, because we knew that it worked.

Since then, I only managed to get for my Sky Digital receiver by manually telling it what channel it is on (68) and have not been able to set up anything via a terrestrial antenna!

I have connected the original problem with the technical support of Toshiba, who said that it should be referred to their team of level three, who work office hours only. I have been waiting for four days for a response and am not a happy chappy!

  • Qosmio F10: vertical lines on the screen

    I use a Qosmio F10 with a nVIDIA 128 MB graphics card. Recently while I was running a graphics-based application on, my screen started showing me wire colors on the screen. I was able to start the game once more, but found the same problem exist.

    On reboot, the system showed the vertical white lines on the screen to start qosmio, ' *' on the lines of the bios password screen and green on the Windows XP loading screen. I was not able to start Windows. Thinking it would be a problem of S/W, I formatted.

    The problem persists and I can not load Windows XP.
    Can someone tell me what the problem with my laptop?

    Hello

    This sound like a hardware malfunction and I guess it could be something wrong with the graphics card or motherboard :(

    But the vertical lines appear on the external screen? If so, then it must be a matter of Council.
    In this case, you have a lot of possibilities. In my opinion, ask the guy to service for the control of the laptop. The technicians of the service in your country partner could run diagnostics tests and will give you more details about the failure.

    Good luck

  • Re: Qosmio F10 - impossible to reinstall the sound card driver

    Hello

    Recently, I uninstalled a program and my sound card driver has been uninstalled with it

    I'm running the Qosmio F10 with Windows XP.

    I have the file to reinstall the diver in the Toshiba page but when I try to install I get the error "driver is not found.

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance

    The European Toshiba driver page provides audio driver for XP and at this time, it s a 5.12.0.1.5160 version of Analog Devices Inc.

    You must download, unpack and then run the installation exe.

    If it doesn't work then remove the sound card in Device Manager, reboot the laptop and check again.

  • Qosmio F10 recover after replacing the motherboard

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my Qosmio F10 recovery. It won't boot from the CD, I get a message "media test check the cable failure".
    I tried everything I could find here on this issue without any results. Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is excatly the case.

    I got a new motherboard and CD/DVD player put some time ago.
    How can I make it work again?

    A.

    > Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is exactly the case.

    Who replaced the motherboard? THE ASP?

    Well, usually the recovery CD should work after the replacement of the motherboard.
    I presume that the parts have been replaced with exactly the same parts and so it should t be a conflict between the recovery and the new motherboard CD.

    Have you tried to boot from another bootable Win XP or Linux CD? Check it!

  • Satellite A30 - cannot set up the binding wireless modem

    Hello
    I have a satellite a30. I just upgraded to broadband and cannot configure the WiFi wizzard. the modem is working perfectly thanks to threads, but cannot set up wireless despite my efforts! Please can someone help?
    see you soon
    Claire

    Hello

    What's the problem?
    You are not able to see the thread or what?

    Are you sure of the laptop and built-in wireless network card?

    Remember that the WiFi card is optional on the Satellite A30 and not all models includes the Wlan miniPCI card
    Thanks for posting more details!

    PS; If the laptop supports a WLan card internal, you should check only that steps;

    -Check if the WLan adapter is enabled on the laptop. Activate the switch on the side of the laptop and the FN + F8 key combination!
    -Check if the windows own WLan configuration is marked
    -Be sure that you use the right WLan encryption and whether encryption is supported by WLan modem (router) and wireless network card
    -Check if the standard 802.11 WiFi, B or G is accompanied by WLan modem (router) and wireless network card
    -Make sure that the router MAC filtering option has been disabled!

    As you can see all of these options are important to connect to the wireless LAN.

    The file I downloaded and extracted tells me it's an illegal version of BIOS for my machine, but it's the (only) the Toshiba site gives me.

    Any ideas?

    Can I ask what version of BIOS have you tried?
    On the page of the Toshiba driver, you might find the BIOS 1, 20 - WIN.
    I downloaded since the page pilot European Toshiba.

  • Qosmio G35: Cannot boot from the recovery disc

    I'm in trouble from the screen of my Qosmio G35 showing lines vertical, gel, then a loop on and outside.

    I used the Toshiba factory restore disc to reformat and the problem remains, I went further and chose the maquis of the HARD drive option. Bad choices made by this beginner, because now it does not recognize the drive at all, prompting me to "initialize".

    Lines remain, but it is not the material of the screen happens during some process that I follow, OK.

    A friend more computer over the phone prompted me to go into the BIOS, but we cannot access them. Research on the web, I tried the F12 suggested, but this does not work, just push me through in a screen offering 'Safe Mode' etc.

    Any help would be welcome. Thank you

    Hello

    Usually the vertical display lines looks like a hardware problem, in my view, it could be related to GPU failure.

    In any case, we should start first of all the problem of CD/DVD drive you must check if the disc is properly recognized in the BIOS.

    For this, it must Access the BIOS press the ESC (if Toshiba BIOS) or the key F2 (if Phoenix BIOS). Please check these two options because I m not 100% sure what the BIOS the Qosmio G35 uses.

    But like I said earlier the issue looks like a malfunction of the graphics card and you must contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    Best regards & friend good luck

  • Qosmio F10-100: startup problem - the system protection failure

    Hello

    A few days ago, I started my Qosmio QF10-100 and an error, it says:

    Alert: System protection failure.
    Password =...

    I 'google' the error nothing helps, the solutions are not compatible with this type of laptop and I'm not going to pay someone to fix it if it's just a simple password.

    I would like to know what is the default password, because I'm 100% sure that I have not put it, or if there is other ways to restore. My guarantee is only from 2004-2005, it is out of the question.

    Looks like a rare problem, hopefully it's fixable.

    Thank you
    Matt.

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a BIOS password has been set. Maybe I m wrong, but in my opinion it should be set a BIOS password or maybe a drive HARD this password which is hard to say.

    Unfortunately, if you n t know the password you will not be able to start Notepad :(
    But buddy don t worry, the local ASP would be able to remove a BIOS password.

    No matter if you warranty is valid or not. You should contact the guy in your country and have to ask for help.

    I'm not sure how much it would cost but I n t thinks it might be expensive.

    Goodbye & good luck

  • Portege R200 cannot set on the BIOS boot sequence

    Hi all.

    Our R200 entered mode of hibernation after that the battery power is low, then by some unfortunate twist of fate, the battery got deleted accidentally. Now it does not start correctly because every time it displays a BSOD stating Unmountable_Boot_Volume.

    I could solve this problem easily by disabling the hiberfil.sys file, which is the reason for the BSOD, if only I could change the boot order. Unfortunately, enter the BIOS, I am only able to access the first page where the only editable elements are time, date, and passwords. Pressing Pageup and Pagedn does nothing. The BIOS is updated to the last appearing on this site.

    Pressing F12 or F2 when the toshiba logo and icons appear does nothing no more. It's a HARD disk 1.8 "and there are no adapters available in our region. I can boot from a CD if and only if I take the HD. But then, it is useless since I can't fix it like that. It is not recognized if I it reconnect after booting. When I reboot, it does the BSOD thing again. It is becoming a frustrating cycle.

    I scoured these forums for other ways to boot from the CD and apply the suggestions, like hitting 'c', nothing helps.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
