• 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!

• New Qosmio F10-101. Where is OneNote?

  Just bought a new Qosmio F10-101 in Greece with Greek Windows XP, but I can't find Microsoft OneNote installed on my machine. On the European model site 'abandoned' the specs say clearly that OneNote is provided with this model.
  So why this software is missing?

  Hi Eric,.

  My copy of OneNote has come on a CD and I had to install it myself. He was not on the OEM Windows XP installation, and it is not included on the recovery CD.

  I recommend that you check the packaging for your Qosmio original see if there is a CD somewhere.

• Qosmio F10 does not accept my recovery cd

  My Qosmio F10 does not accept my restore cd. It will not work in windows or dos mode. In windows, I get the error message. This recovery and applications cd is not configured to work with this machine (laptop). This cd is for: Qosmio G10, Qosmio F10.
  Please use the correct recovery and Applications cd.
  I want to format this model and would really like to use the adequate recovery cd to reinstall all applications that I don't have a windows xp disc. Recovery, one is the only one I have.

  Hello Pam

  Insert the recovery media in the drive and turn off the laptop. Wait a second and turn it on. Press the C button and keep it down. On this track, the unit will start playback DVD recovery and if you use original recovery the recovery procedure will be implemented.

  You cannot reinstall the unit if the operating system is running.
  Good bye

• Repair Qosmio F10

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio F10 which was purchased in me for repair.
  He underwent the faliure GPU from nVidia to the common address but meets in perfect condition and certainatly too good to discard.
  I managed to get your hands on a part of the Service of OEM new motherboard to fit, but I don't want to just put in there and then the case of fault on the road.

  What I'd like to know if there is anything I can do or even to change the laptop to help avoid this problem.

  This is not my laptop and I don't really want to start cut about to help with cooling unless it will really make a difference if someone actually found a way to stop it or at least make him last a good few years?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated because I know the owner is very fond of his laptop and wants to keep.

  Thank you very much
  Ben

  Maybe it sounds silly now, but I put t know what kind of trick you want to get here. If you have good working mainboard, compiled the Qosmio and test how it works.

• Qosmio F10 - the Qosmio player Partition Recovery

  I have a Qosmio F10. He had the motherboard factory upgrade, RAM max, and a new 160 GB Samsung HARD drive mounted. So far so good. I've recently updated to Win7 and it was OK, once the drivers have been found, but I couldn't reinstall the Qosmio Player because apparently he found too little space.

  Hotline do not have much help, but I now realize that the QP is a Linux package in its own hidden partition. I've cleaned the disc, which makes an image of the system W7 on a USB HDD. Then I managed on the basis of reinstall the QP and update her, but the image will not recover in the form of images of Windows, I find now, will only recover a disk the same as the original or more.

  It is not of course because of the score of the PS. So how is it removed please? I tried everything so far.
  Just to make things to complete the product Toshiba Recovery DVD sent with the repaired machine is 70% complete and abandoned.

  Stephen

  Qosmioplayer is small application based on Linux, and according to the instructions of Toshiba s, must be installed as a first step, before you install the operating system. I m not 100% sure, but about 200 MB of free space on the HARD drive is required for installation of Qosmioplayer.
  It works perfectly when you use original Qosmioplayer and recovery disks but I put t know how it will work when you try to use your own image.

  I hope that someone else has the same model of laptop and solution for this.
  If you will be able to manage this please send a feedback.

• Qosmio F10 - Media library does not start

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio F10. My media library does not start.
  I get the message the application did not work properly. OK to close the application

  Someone please advice me what to do.
  Thanks in advance.

  I agree with Akuma. At the end you must install new OS. As already wrote Akuma, back up all your important data and use recovery for any new OS install media.

  It is a radical method, but most effective. ;)

• Qosmio F10: battery life

  I have a Qosmio F10 (2 months) and am pretty disappointed with the battery life.
  20 minutes running on battery at full power yesterday and the computer was turned off (3%)...
  Forget watching a DVD on the plane!
  I wonder if it is a BIOS issue or if there is no possibility to buy a more powerful battery.
  It seems to me that this computer was designed to run on a/c with the battery pack in as a secondary power (short!) option.
  Any comments?
  Also, did anyone tried these plane Chargers sold in airports?

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should try to set up your Qosmio for optimal battery usage. To optimize the battery DURATION use the Toshiba Power Saver utility. "TOSHIBA Power Saver" allows according to the specific use power management allows the reduction of the power consumption of your device and allows you to use your PC for a longer period when running on battery.

  You can reduce your energy consumption PC mainly for its use by reducing the brightness of the screen LCD or CPU processing speed. There are also various games of management settings power or 'profiles', prepared in advance. These profiles are designed to be used in some of the most common environments of the user. You can use these standard profiles or create your own profiles based on your own custom power management settings.

  I'm sure that all the settings of this can help you to use the device for a longer time. To watch DVDs using DVD player profile. You can change the profiles using the FN + F2 key combination.

• Qosmio F10-128 with bad reception of TV in MCE

  Hello
  I have a Qosmio F10-128 on the loan and have a problem with a TV tuner in Windows Media Center.
  During the configuration of the computer, everything seems ok, but when I try to watch a channel of the image is very poor with many artifacts and no noise.

  The strange thing is that everything is working fine with the Qosmio player.
  I have tried every setting in MCE.
  All connections are fine and as far as I know all the settings are correct.

  I live in Belgium, then uses the PAL settings.
  Do you have any suggestions?

  Many thanks in advance,

  L.

  Hi LVG

  What type of antenna is connected to your Qosmio? Is it a cable TV?

• Qosmio F10: update the display driver

  Hi all
  I use a Qosmio F10.
  Preinstalled system shows that Windows uses a generic monitor ("default") and the NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5700 6.6.1.2 version.
  I don't know how to update the monitor driver to one Qosmio use really (and not a generic driver).
  I tried to upgrade to the latest version of the display driver by using the file update on the site of Toshiba UK, but run in a system error, the Setup program could not find the file to uninstall the original driver.
  Any idea?

  Hi Christophe,

  I don't understand what you want to do. You have already installed the new display driver (ver.6.14.10.6612).

  Furthermore the display driver depends on the graphics card not on the monitor.

  Good bye

• Qosmio F10-125 TV tuner

  I just took delivery of a F10. Excitedly, I plugged the Jack on the back of the PC to the regular Arial and searched the signal by the auto scan the media Wizard. No signal has been detected. I tried to use the analog RF signal of my Sky digi-box, which must be a good sign that can be achieved. Still nothing. In both cases, coaxial cables carrying a signal healthy as evidenced by TV happily play all channels on the cable from the two sources

  Someone knows what to do? or this wonder Qosmio F10 is a joke!

  Hi Ron

  As far as I know that you use Composite in the port if you want to watch TV using Qosmio player. In this case, you can change the channel on your cable box and watch it on your Qoamio. In this case, Qosmio player should find a single channel.

  Composite in the port is for video and audio signals. If you use S - VHS to it's just for video signal without the sound and I don't know if it will work properly with Qoamio player.
  Please try again with Composite in the port. I am very interesting if there is some success.

• Required parameters for Qosmio F10-101

  Hi, I just bought my Qosmio F10-101 & I have two questions:

  1 - hard drive (60 GB) is a player, I need to divide it into 2 or more drives & keep back the preinstalled software (what are the exact steps?, I keep all the factory settings?).

  2. the models that include a television tuner weren't available when I bought my laptop, if I get the F10-101, is it possible to add a TV tuner? the performance will be ok or it will be affected because it is not built in from the beginning?
  Appreciate to advise me soon (especially to question 1) to activate the startup using my laptop.

  Thank you
  Amal

  You can use a program like partition magic that can partition the drive into multiple separate disks (for example C: D: etc..) It is installed in the windows operating system and he can do the job without losing existing data on your disk.

• Qosmio F10-101: question on a keyboard

  On my f10 cosmio 101 caps lock green won't turn on all the time, whether it is on or off, so I never know is it turned on. Also when I press right shift windows media player turns, and when the left press the letters on my screen became smaller.

  Hello m24

  AFAIK all keyboards works on the same principle. Lock shift turned permanently you can turn it off by using the SHIFT key. Press the SHIFT key and hold down the key. After that press Caps lock once, and it should be disabled. If there is a green light it shows whether or not shift caps lock is enabled.

  Please also check out Chapter 5 in operating manuals s. here, you will find a brief but very useful explanation on keyboard on Qosmio F10.

  Good bye
