Qosmio F20 system board failure

• Startup fails on Qosmio F20 - alternative to the recovery DVD?

  My Qosmio F20 system restore failed and the OS keeps re-booting and stop alternately. Dare not use the recovery DVDs that I don't have all the files and folders saved yet.
  Don't want to lose them once this system is reformatted. Other options?

  HI Azman,

  First, you will need to identify the cause of the closures (I assume you get a blue screen error followed by a re-boot). You can do this by disabling the automatic restart facility so that the system stops on the blue screen.

  Depending on the error, you may be able to start Notepad in 'safe' mode so that you can back up your data safely.

  Kind regards

• Qosmio G40 - ALERT: System Protection failure

  I used my Qosmio G40 - Vista with no problems since I bought it in November 2007.

  A week ago, he started acting funny. Whenever I turn it on, I get a black screen with the following message:

  ALERT: System Protection failure
  Password =

  Now need a password...
  I had never put no password to the BIOS level, or the level of Windows, so there is no password I could enter.
  So I'm stuck, because the laptop does not accept the ENTER key without any password entry.
  I also tried standard passwords like "Toshiba" nothing helps.

  Can someone help me with this issue?

  Best regards.

  Hello

  To me, it seems that you are talking about BIOS password.
  First of all; There is no default password BIOS.

  I have no idea why the laptop asks you a BIOS password if you didn't put in the past, but the point is that it s is not possible to delete or modify the BIOS password without knowing the old password.

  In this case only the Toshiba ASP may be able to remove the password.
  So I have no other recommendation on contact an ASP in your country and by asking guys to remove the password.

• Card memory on a Qosmio F20 failure

  I have the qosmio f20-136 with built in card reader. I use a sony memory stick pro duo with adapter but my laptop seems no more read. He has worked in the past, seems to do it on my other card aswell.

  Suggestions or quick solutions is useful

  Hello

  I really put t believe Toshiba has tested this slots with adapters with the supported cards.

  If you can not read other cards as well try to restore the system to an earlier time using System Restore utility. In this way it is not possible to give a precise answer because who knows what did you and try with your unit and this adapter (maybe installed a driver).

  There is no quick fix for some issues. ;)

• 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

• Qosmio F20 - 110 Cd writer problem.

  _Hello All_

  Bear with me please im new to these boards. I have a problem with my Qosmio F20-110. It works with Media Center 2005 Edition and Im having problems with the CD burner. Everytime I try to produce an audio cd it will burn the first two songs and then spit the disk. Ive tried to change the write speed and various manufacturers of disc. Ive tried a lot of different software, but nothing helped. I'd appreciate any advice on this question because Im starting to think it's a hardware fault. I activated the record cd in D drive properties and still no joy.

  Help please.

  > I'd love any advice on this issue because I'm starting to believe that it is a hardware failure of m.
  It's my first idea too
  Everything looks like a hardware problem.

  To be honest, something like this can happen. Sooner or later readers may work because of a handset, mechanical stress.
  In most cases, the laser lens is malfunctioning and cannot calibrate properly.

  I think that a replacement is necessary

• MacBook Pro 13,3 "retina Logic Board failure?

  I bought my MacBook Pro 13,3 "Retina display nine in early 2014 before going to College.  This is the most expensive item that I have ever owned I always made sure to take the greatest care in the use and handling.  About a week ago, I went to turn it on and a prohibitive symbol appeared on the screen (a white circle with a slash) and after that, it was completely cut off.  I took it to a (MicroCenter) renamed repair store and they said it was a failure of the logic board and would cost nearly $700 to fix.  Everyone knows this Council logical fault problem?

  I am extremely disappointed by Apple because I thought of them as the cream of the cream with advanced technology "State-of-the-art".  I expect this device to last until the end of my academic career to a minimum and the fact that it's broken in less than two years is absolutely unacceptable. I did some googling and I saw a trial about the logic board failures in 15 '' MacBook Apple of 2011-13 and had published a complementary repair program.  I hope they do the same with my case.

  Again, someone else has their logic board fail randomly?

  Thanks in advance.

  Welcome to Apple Support communities

  Sorry to hear that. I suggest you take a look at the forums of MacBook Pro to find cases similar to yours and check if there is a systemic problem or if you just had bad luck. Obviously it will not be a legal action if this problem is reduced to a few users, but there's a chance if this is stated as a failure of the design.

  About your problem, it looks more like a problem of flash storage rather than a failure of the logic board, but retina MacBooks Pro have most of their parts soldered to the logic board, so, any repair is quite expensive. Finally, if you live in a European country, remember that your Mac has got a 2-year statutory warranty, then you may qualify for a free repair.

• Qosmio F20 - 153 - stuck on the log in page

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio F20 - 153 and when I boot up I get beyond the log in page. It won't let me choose my username so I'm just stuck on this screen. I think I need to perform a recovery CD system but I don't have the CD. Is it possible to download the CD recovery from somewhere, or have any other ideas?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > Is it possible to download the CD recovery from somewhere or have any other ideas?

  Unfortunately, there is no link to download. Please order for money from Toshiba:

  [Recovery disk | https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

  Or copy of windows disk and do a custom installation. All drivers and utilities can be found here:

• Need of recovery for Qosmio F20 CD

  I lost the CD of recovery for the Qosmio F20-153, I have problems, and I want to the system recovery.

  What can I do?

  You could buy a Microsoft Windows CD and reinstall windows.
  Or have you tried Ubuntu - it's free and you should be able to get going on this machine?

• Qosmio F20-136: I have no restore CD?

  The Qosmio F20-136 laptop comes with a Windows CD I can't find one, don't know if its just on the recovery CD, but I think remember me there used to be a Microsoft Map with etc product key, I do not see to be able to find a.
  Thank you

  Hi Mike

  AFAIK the recovery CD provided with the device. On this CD, you will find a ghost image that includes a Windows operating system, drivers, and other applications as a Note.
  The product key for a Note that you will find on the cover of the recovery CD. In addition, you don't need to activate the Windows operating system because the imgages Toshiba are already activated.

  But maybe you have to create this image of yourself. In this case using Toshiba, you will find a function to burn clean recovery Image

  Good bye

  Hello

  Please check the BIOS!

  You can enter the BIOS by pressing ESC and F1.
  The CD/DVD drive must be in the BIOS.

  If it s not the case, then that would mean that the CD/DVD drive cannot be recognized by BIOS and possibly it s faulty.

• Qosmio F20: Featured work Touchpad scroll doesn't work anymore

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio F20 and only had it for less than a year, I've always used the touchpad and the quick launch feature, never changed anything in the settings of the touchpad, or major changes in the operating system, I have a problem now!

  the scroll function working keys doesn't work anymore, you know how the right side is scrolling up and down and low to the left/right scrolling, now it doesn't work... my brother was using my computer and he has installed a bluetooth, infrared driver program, he used a mouse USB and install Nokia PC suite.
  NOW what should I do? HEEELP!

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Brother have installed you a large number of applications and also a USB mouse.
  Who knows what it changed on your laptop.

  If the pad touch scroll function does not work so I guess that the settings have been changed.
  In your case, I recommend to check the touchpad settings.
  You should find your mouse over settings in the control panel.

  As far as I know, you can find these settings in the Toshiba touch and launch.

• Qosmio F20: How to fix Windows XP without HARD drive format

  Is there a way I can reinstall or repair my copy of Windows XP Media Center Edition without format my laptop Qosmio F20, using only the supplied restore CD?

  Otherwise, because I can't start Windows, is there a way I can get around the situation to save my data on another computer via a network cable, the laptop restore and then 'paste' data back? A simple free operating system I can boot from a CD maybe?

• Qosmio F20-153 - ntoskrnl.exe file missing

  Hello

  I have an almost 5 year old toshiba Qosmio F20-153, which has developed an error with the Windows message root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe file is missing.
  I wonder if it's fixable without completely re - install the complete operating system that I still have the Toshiba restore disk.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  In my view, your only option is recovering the entire notebook. The Toshiba Recovery disk only contains an image of factory settings, which means that you can t install this single file of this disc.
  In addition it s a good idea to reinstall Windows from time to time. If your installation is already 5 years old, you should do this. You will be surprised with the speed of your laptop is after that. :)

  Use the recovery disk is quite simple: you must boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen. You do a few clicks only and that s it!
