• 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! :(

• 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

• 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 - 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

  Hello

  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 does not turn on.

  Hi, I have a Qosmio F20 which now has desided not to power up.
  When I plug in the adapter I have the Green AC power led and battery led lights.
  However when I press the button START the Green battery LED turns off and that Orange green AC Power going to THEM. It's her!

  To get the two green LEDs, I lead remover AC and battery then reinsert battery lead AC. Then the battery LED is orange for awhile before it goes green.

  BTW I've updated 2 weeks RAM (2 x 1 GB), but all was fine with that until now this power issue.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Cordially, Steve.

  Hello

  Looks a little electronic power supply problem.
  But have you tried to remove one of the RAMs in order to check if you could power the laptop using a single module of RAM?

  You should do
  One of my friends could not power the laptop because of the faulty RAM.
  I think that it s no doubt worth a try.

  In addition, try this:
  -Disconnect the battery and AC adapter
  -wait little time (1 hour)
  -bring together the two parties again
  -try to turn on the unit.

  If two workaround solutions won't help you then a hardware problem serious has happened and in my opinion, the technician must be contacted in order to verify some parts.

  Sorry, but that's all I can suggest.

• Software Adobe Premiere Elements on Qosmio F20

  I recently purchased a Qosmio F20-104 but cannot get items from Premier to work on it, I can load it on, but it shows 'serious error of closure. " Ive had it works well on my old computer for about a year. I rang Adobe on the problem, but they wanted to charge me £35 to tide me over, so any help would be much appreciated.

  Hello

  You will be very happy if someone uses the same software with the same unit. If this is not the case, your only chance is to contact Adobe support because the Toshiba is not responsible for the use of non-Toshiba Software and it is not supported.

  Good luck!

• 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.
