Qosmio F20-137 - black screen - dead graphics card?

I have a F20-137. The screen is blank and also the laptop can't seem to fly other views or through the output S-video. It is used to go back to work if you out the battery and you press the 'works' for a while. No idea why this worked!

It's probably the graphics card no longer works? If Yes, where can I get replacement second-hand (I'm sure they cost more than the value of the laptop to buy new).

Hello

It may be a malfunction of the graphics card or a motherboard controller. In both cases, you must replace that costs a lot of money. Sometimes it is better to buy second-hand or a new laptop

  • Qosmio F10-100 - dead graphics card

    I bought the laptop Toshiba Qosmin F10. He has a dead graphics card. The graphics on these phones built on the motherboard or are they separated.

    Where can I get one?

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, the replacement of the graphics card is not easy or impossible.
    To my knowledge, especially the whole motherboard must be replaced.

    However, you should definitely contact the authorized service provider in your country for more details and for fixing

    So good luck

  • Question about upgading Qosmio F20-137 to dual-core

    Hi I want to rank up my Qosmio F20-137 to dual-core. I just need some advice on which one to buy.
    Thank you
    Chris

    Hello

    Needless to say that a CPU upgrade in a laptop is totally sensless because you won´t gain true high performance. On the other side, you have to be a technician who should be familiar with these systems, because a mobile system is NOT THE SAME as a desktop system.

    Regarding your question:
    This system is not able to take a dual-core cpu, because you only have an Intel 910 chipset / 915GM which can only take Intel pentium M.

    If you don t believe me just check out this site:

    Hello

    It makes sense to contact the ASP in your country, because you need two different parts compatible for the Qosmio F20-137.
    The authorized service provider may order directly the two parts of the Toshiba.

    Burning sometimes errors occur because of bad quality media.
    In the user manual, you will find a list of compatible media, which are tested and it works properly. Have you tried to burn at a slower speed?

  • Qosmio F20-137: very noisy left speaker

    Just had the Qosmio F20 - 137 3 days. The left speaker or something in the chassis is teeming with some frequenzies in the sound. It is very annoying, especially since I bought this for multimedia application. Does anyone know if there is a reason known to the buzz?

    Hello

    All speakers usually begin to vibrate (for the buzz) if the bass is high.
    I think it s not a malfunction. You should check that the sound properties and you shouldn't t turn on maximum bass controller.

  • Billboard Qosmio F20 - 137 gone BLACK-nothing visible to all

    Hi guys
    Im having trouble with my Qosmio F20, I recently formatted my hard drive with a disc of recovery of the product I received from a friend. The disc is for another Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista.
    Everything worked fine when I formatted my HD using the usual disk except for similar-slow video playback that you get when you upgrade a F20 XP to Vista.

    I closed my laptop-tried to put it on 3 days later and that's where the problem-all lights normal except my screen, I noticed, it's completely black. I had the utility of windows password, I tried to enter the password on the black screen but nothing happens.

    HD only turns on for a second when I press the power button to turn on the laptop, it blinks not or anything after that.

    The Fn + F1 to F9 keys do not work due to the utility of password so I can't use safe mode.

    Please help me solve this problem, im really in love with my laptop.

    Thank you

    > I recently formatted my hard drive with a disc of recovery of the product I received from a friend. The disc is for another Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista.

    It was really a bad boyfriend... Do not use the recovery CD that was not designed for your notebook from the series!

    Is the restore CD contains an image file and this image file contains the operating system, drivers, tools and other programs.
    If you want to use incompatible drivers then it could affect the material of the laptops and the system performance... in the worst case the hardware may be damaged.

    But look, man, you should try to remove the HDD (HDD format) of the installed image and try to install an OS designed for you Toshiba Recovery CD from the series or you can use a clean Windows CD.
    Then you can check if this problem is only with the wrong software.

    But from your description, it could be a hardware problem. This does not sound good, and in this case, the ASP must check unit.

    Good luck

  • White screen on m17x-R4, dead graphics card?

    TL; DR: When I start my m17x-r4 as the lights of the laptop turns on but the screen remains blank, that nothing seems to be loading and all that came after you disable the onboard graphics through Fn + F7.

    Five days ago, I got an Alienware m17x-r4 (with a Radeon 7970 m) with a 14.04 Ubuntu partition and a Windows 7 Ultimate partition, work without problem. After a nightmarish series of events that I still cannot understand, now I have the same laptop whose only feature is to turn on the lights on the keyboard and nothing else. I'll go through the quick details, since my only concern now is whether to send the computer directly to Dell or what. (you can skip the next paragraph)

    Five days ago, I installed a videogame in the Windows partition, when the computer freezes with an unbearable looping sound. After that Windows could not start or to repair itself, so I started to use Ubuntu all decide what to do. Out of nowhere, Ubuntu has decided to give me yet another mistake criticism, forcing me to reinstall the OS too. For the last five days, I have installed at least four times each of the operating systems for different reasons, while moving several GB of data, I got in each of them one bone to another and having to use tools for recovering data at a given time. Finally, I managed to stabilize the two OSs with all updates and all apparently correctly installed drivers. No there wasn't that one problem, Windows gave me poor performance on video games. In the previous installation of Windows, a program of AMD asked me programwise the performance I wanted, but in this new installation of this feature had disappeared, and each program has been run with less-than-optimal performance. This prompted me to tinker around with the integrated graphic configuration of my laptop.

    I tried different things, like uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and things like that, until I discovered that the Fn + F7 will disable the integrated graphics card. When I did this, the games would be much better, so I hope that this could be a temporary solution. The problem is that it was very unstable and the screen would freeze in 2-3 minutes to boot Windows. Sometimes the screen freezes as soon as Windows has been started. Fortunately, I had the time to press Fn + F7 again and return to the previous configuration, with the operation of the integrated card, both cards that appear in the devices, with their Manager drivers installed. But when I tried Fn + F7 again instabilities have increased to the point that Windows would not even start leaving me without option to restore the situation. I tried to reinstall Mode drivers safe and pressing Fn + F7, but Safe Mode does not allow for any of these features. I have uninstalled the graphics drivers and tried to restart Windows, but it was very unstable, almost unusable from the beginning. I managed to reinstall the Radeon drivers, but the screen is tore already very bad. Finally, when you turn on the laptop, the first splash screen would be the charge, but two large green vertical lines would tear across the screen and the computer could not get into the bootstrapper more. After two other shut downs and from ups, the screen simply would not stop reacting and this is the case I am, right now. The lights of the light of the laptop, but the screen does not work and it does not seem to load anything.

    I guess that means send to Dell, but maybe there's something that I can still do it by myself (maybe open the laptop and re - a corner of the graphics card?).

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, it was fundamentally defective graphics card and hard drive as the diagnosis ePSA says, but I had the chance to realize that my laptop was three weeks before the expiration of the warranty, so I sent to Dell and he had fixed to the less than a week or more. I even had a bigger hard drive :)

  • Qosmio F60 - 10J: black screen after XP Nvidia GT 330 M driver installation

    Hello

    On my Qosmio F60 10J, I installed windows XP on a DD of esata, I found almost all the XP drivers. XP works well, now...
    I downloaded GT 330 m XP drivers on the Nvidia site because the Web from Toshiba site, it's only for Windows 7.

    I installed these drivers XP of 330 m easily... but to reboot XP, after the XP logo, I have a black screen and a fan running at full speed.
    I tried to change the options in the bios, but it's always the same problem.

    You have an idea?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Seems that the driver is not fully compatible.
    Try the www.omegadrivers.net graphics card driver
    But note; Drivers Toshiba not in use ONLY at your own risk.
    As far as I know, these 3 third-party drivers are not configured for mobile use and this means that the GPU could overheat and damage.

    Hello

    I'm not very well if you'll be able to get only the graphics chip of m.
    I guess that the graphics chip would be sold as part of a new motherboard.

    However, the laptop seems to have a graphics processor NVIDIA GeForce GTS250M.
    You can contact the service provider authorized in your country for the compatible part. Not quite sure how this GPU might be, but I think that it would not be a cheap substitute.

  • Qosmio G10-137: blue screen after re-install using Recovery CD

    Hi all

    just got my qosmio G10-137 earlier this week after being under repair since the beginning of the month of January! Guys made the repair found no better then install the Dutch version of the operating system. I don't like this, then I took out my recovery CD and began the recovery. Everything works fine and I am asked to remove the media and reboot my PC.

    This beautiful laptop to start early and... Blue screen of death. Restarts, wonder how to restart... count up to normal reboot... BSOD... restarts, wonder how... I choose "Safe Mode"... BSOD... I choose the mode safe mode with prompt... the system.ini file is missing!

    It seems that the recovery CD is bogus.

    If someone has encountered this? Does anyone have any resolution?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    It s very strange because the recovery CD was tested and install several times. It should work without any problems.
    I put t know where you come from, but the service partner should install the Windows operating system in the same language. In this case, if you bought the device in Dutch the recovery CD and the OS are in the Dutch language.
    Please note that you must use the same recovery CD that came with the device. Another recovery CD will not work.
    What you can do is to test the unit with an original CD of Microsoft Windows. It would be very interesting to know if the blue screen appears with the original Windows.

  • Tecra S1: dead graphics card - need new motherboard

    I encountered a problem with my Tecra S1, the lcd screen does not light and it gives a system of sound signals.
    After looking on the net, I concluded that the problem is with the graphics card which is integrated into the motherboard, but I can't find one.

    And now, I feel that my laptop is out of date but I like the size.
    So I was wondering if there where other motherboards better design which would increase my effectiveness of laptops and mount the box.
    I don't mind the upgrade of the other parties, but I don't want to lose the case of the laptop.

    Hello

    I found some information on this device and it seems that the laptop comes with an ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000 with 32 MB of video ram.
    Usually, the map is fixed on the map and it of not possible to remove it.

    If you need new Board so you can order it form the Toshiba service partner in your country, but be aware that the motherboard is one of the most expensive laptop parts.
    A good idea is to look for a second hand motherboard.

  • Qosmio F20: WinDVR black areas during the recording of TV programs

    Hello

    It is a problem that has bugged me for some time.

    When I record a TV show with the Intervideo WinDVR application on my laptop Toshiba Qosmio F20, I get a black box to the left of the image during playback in Windows Media Player from Intervideo WinDVD my recordings.

    It seems WinDVR saves an area located to the left of the real TV-signal, which I find awkward. I live in Norway and we have a PAL WinDVR system is configured to save PAL signals. -At least he says so in the configuration options...

    Any suggestions on how to fix this, or on other applications of DVR, better to GPL that get better results than of Intervideo WinDVR and who work with the Qosmio TV tuner?

    Kind regards
