Qosmio F20: New WLan driver is available - should I launch updated?

Hi all.

I received an email from Toshiba this morning telling me that there are 2 new drivers available for my machine.
The first is 'intel wireless lan driver update' and the second is "atheros wireless lan driver.
Both are listed in the "update files" section for updates available for my laptop.

Can I take both, or it will spoil my most vital wireless connection?
Thank you.

The laptop run and use the wire properly?
Yes?
So why change something if it works?

I think it is? s no need to update the drivers if you can use WiFi without problem ;)
Now, never change you the running system ;)

    Can anyone help before you start sacrificing poultry?

    Hello

    First of all, it is not normal that appears only 120 GB instead of 250 GB., I don't know much about your model, but I guess there are limits, which means that the laptop can only handle drives up to 120.
    Try to remove your new HD and replace the old one to see if you are able to enter the Bios.

  • 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 F60 - need WLAN driver

    Hey, I bought a Qosmio F60 off my father and made a new installation of windows.
    I installed the drivers for all devices on the system except for the wireless (WLAN).

    I've been on the site toshiba driver and downloaded the Realtek drivers without success and also tried the "Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter" which is also on the same website, but none of them works.

    I download the right drivers?

    I have also pressed the symbol for the WLAN on the multimedia toolbar, and a status notification appears telling me that I can it turn on or turn off but no device is listed in my network and sharing Center and my device manager said: there is a "network controller" with the yellow exclamation point.

    Not really sure where to go from here, but would appreciate any help!

    Hi mate

    It seems that you have no idea what you have the Wlan card.
    Please check this HowTo document which helps identify the right card WLan:

  • Qosmio x 870 WLan driver update needed due to WLan problems

    Hello

    I have this laptop for 3-4 months now, and one of the problems are annoying. My WiFi works good sometimes and on another totally weird days.

    As an example, the indicator shows 3 of 4 bars, but i had no connection. When I start chrome or firefox, nothing does. After a reboot its works normally. My router works with an another old toshiba laptop and my pc.
    I checked with avast and malwarebytes anti my laptop and it should be clean.

    I saw that toshiba updated all the drivers, but they are too many of them. But I don't know which ones do I need to install.

    Are those driver display toshiba even as nvidias packages or something is missing?

    I want to update too, because some games get better performance. Should I use nvidias driver or those provided Toshiba. Another son, I saw that I must update the first intel and NVIDIA driver. Is this fair?

    I tried a few months ago to install this driver on my pc, but lenovo own a pilot too and it didn't work. I don't want to 'destroy' my laptop ^ ^

    I hope someone can help. Sorry to ask again, I have not found good forum :)

    > I saw that Toshiba updated all the drivers, but they are too many of them. But I put t see those that I install.

    You must take the one that is available for the wireless network adapter.
    So what wireless card you have? You can check in the Device Manager in the network adapters box.

    Also its really interesting to know what Qosmio X 870 - xxx you have exactly?

    With regard to the question of display driver:
    This should be discussed in another thread that you have started.

  • Qosmio G20 - new HARD drive does not work

    I have a G20 and try to change one of my hard drives of 60 GB for a new 250 GB (Western Digital WD2500BEVS, SATA-150, 5400 RPM).

    First thing I would add is that the hard drive is fully discoverable, formatable, and usable in my desktop... but in my G20s it only detects it in the BIOS but has a status of 'impossible' and my operating system (XP) can't quite see.

    Please can someone help?

    Hello

    You've got a 60 GB and a 250 GB HARD drive in your Qosmio G20.
    Is this good?

    What RAID settings do you use?
    You can check the settings in the BIOS and in the user manual, you will find some details about the RAID.

    If the RAID is defined on the mirror then only the HARD drive would be available and if the first HARD 60 GB disk is then the other HARD disk would also provide ONLY 60 GB even if it s 250GB

    This seems to be a newer driver for this laptop.
    Of course you can use the drivers from other sources such as laptopvideo2go.com page but these drivers can be used only at your own risk because these drivers does not control the GPU heat dissipation and could lead to damage GPU.

  • Qosmio G20 - new HARD drive is not detected

    Hello.

    While the installation of new disks in the RAID configured laptop; one of the active disks, the second - has failed.
    Switch the mode RAID array does not. What could be the problem?

    2 X HARD DRIVE 160 GB

    The problem may be the information of RAID, and it is obviously absent on the second HARD drive. I'm not an expert on such things, but if possible I recommend you back up all your important data from the first HARD drive and install the OS by using supplied recovery media.

    After having done that, you should be able to use two hard drives with no problems.

  • New SATA drive not available

    I just installed a WD Caviar 1 TB SATA HDD in my XPS 400 computer. The BIOS it shows on SATA2, that Device Manager XP says it's working properly, and the WD Diagnostics program said that he passed his test. Unfortunately, that the computer doesn't show it as a drive and the WD install program it does not show as a drive on my computer. This is the first time to work with a SATA hard drive, so I can miss a step to make the visible disk. I installed 2 SATA DVD drives without problem. How to make the player available? I'm just trying to set up a second disc and not a RAID, is this a problem?

  • Qosmio F20: Bluetooth connectivity does not work with my phone

    Good day it

    I've had one laptop to another in the past and I didn't have this problem with this computer, but then 3 weeks ago I bought myself this Qosmio F20 and try to send the info to my Sony-Ericsson K600i.
    He worked with my other laptop. On my laptop I don't see devices in the Control Panel, but it doesn't seem to be any information for any active or visible Bluetooth to my phone.

    Could you help me please or tell me where to get the program?

    Concerning
    Jürgens

    Hello

    It would be very useful to know the name of your unit. Qosmio F20 - xxx.
    I ask because the Bluetooth module is not available on several units of Qosmio F20.
    In my opinion you should first check if the laptop supports Bluetooth.
