• Qosmio F20-110: charging question

  Hello

  Im having a problem with my laptop Qosmio f20-110 battery problem.
  Basically, I can't turn on the laptop with the battery. I can only turn on the laptop with the AC adapter. When the battery is in the laptop and the power adapter is connected to the electric network, an orange light comes in indiacting that his charge.

  The led turns off after 4 hours (meaning that its full charge) and when I remove the AC adapter and try turning on the laptop using just the battery nothing happens. When the laptop is turned on with the battery inside, it starts as usual and you can use the laptop.

  In the toshiba power save the application, it says the battery is charging and when the State of charge goes up to a point (it's different values), for example sometimes to 46% of charge, charge status hangs at this point, it sometimes freezes at 67%, sometimes he says potential battery: s. o. If I now remove the power adapter the laptop turns off.

  When I start it again with the AC adapter, it indicates the State of the battery that is currently charged in function for example, 67%, 46% 0% or battery remaining remainnig N/A and the orange light comes on indicating that his indictment.
  It may be the battery, as I have tried 3 batteries toshiba real far with exactly the same problem!

  My bios is also up to date.
  I'm on a Toshiba ac adapter authentic as well!

  I hope someone can help

  Thank you

  I remember another thread of the similar problem on a Qosmio G40 forum.

  Wait, I search a bit in the forum.

  HQP It is here:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=28045

  The solution is:
  Access the BIOS and the search parameters: AUTO POWER ON = ACTIVE
  Then choose the option called: WAKE-UP ON BATTERY and set it to "ENABLED"

  Hope this helps

• Qosmio F20-110: ODD suddenly stopped reading/burniing

  I have problems with the drive. It burns/reads DVD but no cd, ive just completed a new installation of the DVD recovery still no joy.
  I had the laptop about 4 years and its in good nick! could someone tell me what the problem is.

  I asked what we call tech to pcworld guy only to be told that they don't know?

  Help woulkd very appreciated.

  Concerning

  I can't say with certainty, but the player is maybe defective. The position of the objective for playback of DVD and CD is not the same thing and maybe by car has problems to put the lens in the right position.

  To be honest, Qosmio F20 is old enough laptop model, and I would not be surprised if the drive is defective.

• Re: Qosmio F20-110 - error when installing recovery

  Hi guys.

  Having a problem of formatting my laptop using the recovery of product DVD, the question is this: while the system recovery is underway, I have an error message that says simply.

  "!!!!!!!! ERROR! Press a key to continue... "
  As well as 3 beeps from my laptop.

  When the key is pressed (;)), it evokes a newspaper any to be perfectly honest, that is to say nothing at all for me. Then what seems to be BACK with the option to type, once I left the newspaper. In this case at any specific time during the recovery process, its been around 25%, 60%, 40% not any specific percentage whenever I tried.
  The disc is in almost perfect condition (having only been to Holster when I already restored my laptop). And there is no virus/malware/ect (to my knowledge) on this subject, before I tried the restore.

  I have upgraded the RAM a few years back, but I have used the system to restore a couple of times since then without any problems. Also it comes up with the same error trying to restore from a disk image.

  Any help/ideas as to what on Earth is actually past would be much appreciated.

  Thanks, Kitsou.

  Hello

  Well, if you can install Windows recovery disk Toshiba t it seems to be a malfunction of the equipment. The Toshiba recovery disc is pretested by Toshiba that it works properly on your laptop. In addition, he will restore the original settings of the box with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. So I think that the problem must be hardware related as Akuma written.

  Theoretically, the HARD drive and RAM could be affected. These pieces, you can test with special diagnostics, looking just a little tools using Google and you'll find enough. I put t think that s a problem for you.

  In the worst case the motherboard and CPU could also be affected, and they are expensive parts. If you have some experience with laptop disassemble you can check second hand places like eBay for spare parts.

• Qosmio F20 speakers making hissing noise

  Hello

  My Qosmio F20 has a strange problem. After turning on the laptop, the speakers start making a whistling noise. You can clearly hear it all the time. Toshiba has just replaced the motherboard but tis whistle is still there. Is it normal for the Qosmio F20? When I turn off the sound in Windows the whistle went, also after that put in headphones (there no hiss in the headphones...) the noise disappeared.

  Thanks for the tips!

  Borlando

  Hello Borlando

  Over the past two months also have F20 and I don't really no bad experiences. Sound quality is good especially with the virtual sound. F20 has small speakers and you can't force them up. I did some experiments with all the details of the built in speakers option and I am very satisfied.

  Good bye

• On Qosmio F20 TV tuner is restricted?

  Hello world

  I have a laptop Qosmio F20, I had some problems using the TV tuner integrated with other software decoding of TV one provided with the computer WinDVR5. Can I watch tv on this software, but when I try the other programs such as the on CyberLink, bonavista, VLC,... I never get any picture. It is a restriction of the tuner from Toshiba or is it a setting I have done wrong?

  Thank you

  Hank

  Hello

  AFAIK this tuner is designed for Windows Media Center edition. Each TV tuner cannot be used with all available software. Just for example: I know with certainty that tuner TV USB Toshiba cannot be used with Windows MCE but only with software rendering Savvy.

• Qosmio F20 and WinXP Pro

  Using a Qosmio F20-110 but hated XP MCE that accompanies it. Reinstalled XP Pro SP2 and drivers according to the instructions of installation in section help. Runs great.

  Can the brightness of buttons and the display of the special player buttons serve in XP Pro? I installed the driver controls but only the Internet button watch.

  Is it possible to use the TV tuner (although the agreement was never large in MCE). Necessary third-party TV software? Not so important.

  see you soon
  Paul

  Hello Paul

  Have you installed Qosmioplayer yet?

  I'm not 100% sure but I think WXP MCE is actually the Pro version. It is highly recommended to install all the stuff to Toshiba because of the feature, but if you have installed all the tools of Toshiba, it should work. As much as I know all Toshiba tools and utilities are not created only for WMCE but also for the home and professional version. But I found for WMCE you use TOSHIBA controls V3.19.2201 for MCE and home TOSHIBA controls V3.19.2401. Please check installed version on your device.

  Good luck!

• Main problems after upgrading from XP to Vista on Qosmio F20

  I have recently upgraded from XP to Vista on my Qosmio F20 and having problems. It seems that I lost the ability to change screen resolutions, to adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Basically, I lost the laptop functions. I also tried updating the BIOS but get the following error message "BiOS update only is not supported OS - unsupported OS or service pack installed.»

  This also makes very slow computer.

  You now have a few questions, or you wrote just a report on your experience of Vista on Qosmio F20?

  The fact is that Toshiba does not support Vista on this laptop model and thereby you will ever complete Vista of operation (including the Toshiba tools and utilities). For supported laptops, Toshiba offered special Vista supporting BIOS but for your laptop, this update of the BIOS does not exist.

  Sorry! :(

• Upgrade memory to the Qosmio F20 problem

  I just bought a Laptop Qosmio F20; It has 512 MB RAM DDR2 pc4200 533 MHz in standard. When I added an another 512 MB of ram the laptop turns on but the screen is blank, when I installed them separately, they work very well sound when I pair their place is happening, they are of the same manufacturer (Samsung) and the same type & speed.

  Please could someone help me with this, because I am intrigued. This laptop does support 1 GB memory 2 x.

  Hello

  The laptop supports without a doubt memory 2 x 512 MB sticks.
  You can upgrade the memory for max 2 GB (2 x 1024 MB)

  As far as I know Toshiba recommend using these modules:
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

  About you, problems with memory, it seems that both modules are not compatible I know that sounds very strange because you use the same modules (as you say).

  I recommend to replace the new module and you should check if the laptop runs correctly with other new module

• Qosmio F20 - display problem, driver problem-possible

  Good afternoon

  I am in possession of a portable type Qosmio F20, which belongs to a friend. She told me that the screen went all the matrix as so that it was just empty. She claims not to have installed any software or updates recently.

  When turned on, the Qosmio logo on black background appears, then it appears a black screen with a lot of white lines vertically downwards. He then referred to the Windows XP logo, but this time with green lines appearing vertically down the screen, a little style of the matrix, I guess! After that, the screen is completely empty and the laptop will recharge itself, or occasionally I hear it start windows.

  I can enter in safe mode and discovers everything fine. If I uninstall the driver, it works very well and boots as normal, then invites me for a display driver. As soon as I install the driver that I downloaded from the site Web of Toshiba (NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600) and reboot, the same problem occurs. If I install the driver, and then select do not restart, it's ok. But as soon as I go to display settings and try and change anything, the screen turns off instantly again.

  I tried to roll back to an older driver that has been dated to 29/08/2005 v7.8.9.2, but still the same problem.

  Can anyone suggest a possible solution for this? Or is there a problem with this I don't know? The operating system is Windows XP Media Center SP2. He worked very well until yesterday morning apparently.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  It's certainly a bad operation of the equipment and I'm sure that the graphics card is defective. The warranty is still valid?

• Qosmio F20 - problem with WXP MCE TV tuner

  Hello

  I have a strange problem...
  I install win XP MCE on my qosmio F20-111 and all work fine.
  TV Tuner work verry good, list all the chanel and all the work.
  But after the first reboot when I try again Live TV in Media Center, I received the message "bad TV tuner work or do not present, try to restart.

  I try everything, but it still does not work.
  When I use the system restore, it works until I reboot again. Once again, I get this message.

  Any ideas? Please...

  You should check if after the next reboot the TV tuner is properly recognized in Device Manager.
  If this is not the case, then visit the European driver Toshiba page and you must reinstall (update) the TV tuner driver.
  Maybe it's the key to the solution ;)

  Good luck and I would appreciate feedback
