• 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 battery problem

  Hi, I posted here a few days ago, but no one seems to know the answer to this problem... so I'll explain it in simpler terms.

  If the laptop is turned off and I plug in the charger, the middle on the bottom edge (which indicates that the battery is charging) lights up. After about 20-30 seconds, it turns off. The laptop will then only work with the power cable plugged, and the soft power saver shows without battery present at all.
  If I then remove and replace the battery, it 'see' battery and start loading it again. but after about 20-30 seconds, the light goes off again and the laptop won't work once more than on the current. the battery shows up to 75% load if it is visible, and if I catch it on the battery power and unplug the cable it fortunately stays on until the battery runs out, IE. an hour! so why is it not load, or even see the battery? It is very annoying, as if I am working with the computer and want to move, I need to stop and restart once I move, or remove and replace the battery before unplugging the adapter! Help, please?

  Looks like the battery made a bad connection from the motherboard.

  If you can get your hands on one, try another battery. If he did the same thing with the other battery, then the motherboard or the card with the connector on the battery (according to the model of the laptop) may need replacing.

• 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 - 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

• 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

  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: Bad sound using the MSN Messenger & video transmission

  Hi all

  I recently bought a laptop Qosmio F20, who is currently connected to the Internet via a router/modem WiFi Netgear (DG834v2).
  I tried to use MSN messenger v7.5 (7.5.0311 and 7.5.0324) with a webcam Creative NX () to make a video call.
  But the sound of the person I'm talking to is so distorted, it is impossible to have a conversation (I tried with several of my friends, who all have good sound on their end).
  However, if I have an audio only (no video) conversation, I have a perfect sound.
  Despite my best efforts (update drivers, reinstall messenger, windows firewall ok for messenger etc...) I've had no chance of finding the problem so far. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful.

  Thanks in advance.
  François

  Hello

  You suggested that the sound working properly without the video connection.
  In my opinion, it happens because of the webcam. Maybe the software has a bad influence on the sound.
  This is not a product of Toshiba, and Toshiba is not responsible for any 3rd party device.
  I recommend you to check the site of the manufacture of cam. Maybe you will find the solution.

  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 won't start - power light flashes orange

  My Qosmio F20-149 crashed yesterday and I was not able to get it working again. When I try to turn it on, the power light flashes on and outside (on: 1 sec, off: 1 sec) and the cooler fan operates at full power. When I press a key, there is a genre or a sound error. otherwise no reaction of the laptop; even the CD player does not open.

  I did no RAM-implementation to date, and I use the original power supply Toshiba. I tried from the laptop using only the battery, only power and on both. No change in the reaction. I tried all possible combinations (with a free one, both... etc) of my two cards, RAM (512 + 512) and still no use.

  I am really puzzled.

  If I understand you just your laptop sends a blink code. Copy the following code appears so laptop has detected a problem with the electronic power supply.
  In this case, there is nothing that you can do and the laptop must be sent to the service provider allowed the closest.

  They have manuals containing instructions and the exact description of the code how do I solve this problem.
  Sorry, buddy, but I do not think that anyone here can offer an accurate diagnosis for that matter.

• 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.
