• Qosmio F30-127 is unable to read the Vista upgrade disc

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio F30 (127) with the standard front load Mat * a DVD-RAM (model UJ-846) Player.

  I have for months without any apparent problem burn a variety of CD DVD & (R/RW) and recently received my expected Vista Express Upgrade DVD which I assume adopts the format DVD RAM.

  After the upgrade of the BIOS to v3.4, I successfully installed upgrading startup, but only one of the hard drives (RAID) which has been recognized in my windows session (with the recoil, I would simply have used administrative tools > computer management > disk management) ;-(

  I reinstalled XP using the recovery disks provided original in preparation to retry the Vista upgrade a 2nd time to correct the alleged no recorded 2nd hard drive.

  However, on the startup of XP, the Vista Upgrade DVD doesn't have to be recognized at startup (i) or (ii) in the case of a Windows session, without a visible change in the drive icon to indicate the usual recognition.

  If I try to double click on the drive icon, I get the error message:

  "D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

  I have read a number of threads of support which advises: (i) changing some registry keys, which seem to be unnecessary following a procedure of recovering costs of system; (ii) the transfer mode to DMA to PIO on the primary IDE channel in Manager devices, and (iii) the offending disk and IDE/ATAPI controllers Device Manager uninstall followed by a restart of switching. I tried (ii) & (iii) independently several times resulting in Windows Installer automatically the drivers for the hardware newly found followed by a final reboot, but the Enigma DVD persists.

  I tried to install the latest drivers for the DVD RAM driver, including vF103 firmware update in the Toshiba download pages, but the status quo remains.

  Ideas or current symptoms are swinging more and more towards the likely hardware malfunction?

  Thanks for listening...

  For me, it looks like a hardware problem, maybe the lens of the player is not clean or not can not calibrate correctly in the right position

  But try first to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop.
  The operating system should recognize what it again automatically. If you want to read from this CD, and then try again.

  If she will not change the situation, then I presume that it s a failure of the equipment.

• I have to restart Qosmio F30-127 in order to recognize the inserted disks

  I have the Qosmio F30 127, which has the CARPET * A DVD RW. Very often, however, it does not recognize the fact that there is a disc in the drive. I have to restart for the DVD to recognize the inserted disc.

  If a disc is placed in the slot, shortly after starting it is correct until an attempt to use a different disk.
  This is a common problem or any other agency knows this and if so what is the fix?

  I put t think that it s a common problem.
  Always it is that readers do not each CD/DVD support and sometimes such disorders.
  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop. After the reboot, the drive should be recognized again. Check if there is no change.
  Check that you have installed the firmware. Maybe a new available on the Toshiba page.

• Qosmio is plugged in but not charging

  Hello

  Yesterday, I spilled my shake on my laptop... I managed to open it clean and everything works well EXCEPT MY battery, it is at 0% and every time I remove my AC my laptop turn off, then, what do I do is my battery died or my charger connector?

  And what do you recommend I made m from Chanute, Kansas. I tried to call the Toshiba support center, they said that my laptop is still in warranty but they can't help me because I can't drop my laptop to Toshiba service!

  Weird assistance):
  Thank you

  It is clearly defined that is covered by the warranty, and what cases can be repaired for free. Certainly, your question is not covered by the warranty. If there is mechanical damage caused by the owner he will not be repaired for free. Service box help m from you, but I'm afraid you have to pay something must be changed or repaired.

  On this virtual path we cannot say with certainty what the problem is here, but all electronic power supply must be checked. To be honest, I can't imagine that the battery may be defective.

  Anyway, what you can try is to get the new battery, test it and if the situation is the same it must be a problem with the power electronics placed on the motherboard.

• On Qosmio F30 TV tuner works but the picture is bad

  I bought a Toshiba Qosmio F30-140. It's great in everything except for a TV tuner. It works but the picture is too bad, although the sound is good.

  I've moved several times but without changing the antenna.

  I appreciate your help.

  Can I ask you what TV channels do you have received? Analog or digital?
  If you want to receive the digital channels, then you should be 100% sure that digital signals are strong enough.
  I read in trade journals that for most a weak signal has a bad influence on the quality of the image.

• Qosmio E10 need repair, but I am not agree Exchange motherboard

  Hello world.

  Since 2004, I have my Qosmio E10.
  I bought in the Uk, but I used in Europe & Brazil.

  But he has a little problem always over heating the cooler sink fan never stop work or stop if you choose internet, as well as sometimes to turn off my cell phone right way without no reason what become too hot.

  But still works fine if I not give place and paid for this and normal attetion used and try not be too hot.
  But a few days ago, he starts making bad noise in paste fan, I don't know why but I try to clean the filtter and open the laptop and desconect all things. So big mistake now does not work any more the laptop.

  So I get it and put for the repair of Office Toshiba Authorizate but I am now in Spain - Madrid.
  Now they me say I need Exchange Moherboard, the bottons where switch to other functions. But not to mention the cooler fan was bad even why need to exchange all the buttons.

  I ask why need to exchange all the thing and the answer was my screen was fault and who do more heating in the laptop. But I said that more heating afterwords, more If need to exchange this Toshiba sale for me a laptop with problems.

  I just can't do that repair cost as 600euros.
  In addition, I paid 30 euros to make you I was at Toshiba Authorizate of tick problems.

  Now, I need help if anyone knows where I can repair my laptop in an honest Bureau in Madrid or not.

  Hello, my friend

  It is not easy to give any comment to this. AFAIK services have specific instructions for Toshiba how to manage specific issues and if you have different opinions must be clarified in service directly.

  I understand what you mean with honest office, but you must also understand that each service has a contract with Toshiba and must follow the instructions given. Similar is with the car services. It is infrequent that some defective parts can be repaired; only exchanged.

  In any case, after Toshiba in Madrid support page there are 5 Toshiba authorized providers. Try to contact some of them and see what they say. The addresses and telephone numbers, you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

  Good luck!

• Qosmio F30-112 - small strips and dots on the screen

  Hello

  I need help, my laptop (Qosmio F30 - 112) have a problem.
  When I started it scratch on the screen and flashes.
  Then if I try to reboot it works, but not normal; still have a small scratches and dots on the screen.
  I checked it on the Device Manager NVIDIA GForce with a yellow mark.
  I tried to uninstall it but nothings happened.

  Please some body help me what to do in this case?

  And if you have to replace the VGA CARD, is it possible to upgrade? and what (NVIDIAGforce) parts are compatible for my laptop (RAM memory upgraded 4 GB 320 GB hard drive and windows 7 Home premium)

  Thank you
  rtmasagca

  Hello

  Have you tried to install or update the display driver?
  Please check this because the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager may mean that the display driver is missing and so the graphics card does not work properly.

  Otherwise, it could be a GPU problem.
  This can be tested easily; connect an external monitor and check if the same stripes, points would be visible on the monitor that is eternal.

  If Yes, then it s certainly a GPU problem.
  In this case, only the replacement of the motherboard might help.
  Also, upgrade is not possible.

• Features red and green Qosmio F30-117 - display problems-

  Hello

  I have a qosmio F30-117, and until recently, I was thrilled with everything about it.

  Then, mid session, graphics started to deteriorate, which fixed a reboot.

  Then a few days later, he did it again and this time when I rebooted it came with a display corrupted, a lot of aa in all directions then red and green lines everywhere.

  Managed to get by selecting safe mode with network and got a desktop computer but still with red and green lines everywhere.

  Now its got worse again, when I start the screen of the laptop itself is empty, becomes something because it is not completely black as if it was when its engine turned off, but his Blanck.

  To check I have connected to an external monitor and managed to get again in safe mode with network, but still very bad and always red and green lines everywhere.

  I started to take a ride on the old good www and there are many posters and articles with problems and many mentioning the lines red and green etc...
  so I'm not alone, but no one seems to know exactly what it is.

  Some have mentioned the grateful Toshiba this as a problem and make even if out of warranty repairs.
  Thus, ideas, advice and does anyone know if Tosh have agreed the problem and offer any help?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  In my opinion, this looks like a problem of graphics card GPU eventually started to malfunction, and in this case to replace the motherboard.

  > Some mentioned Toshiba grateful that as a problem and make even if out of warranty repairs.
  Thus, ideas, advice and does anyone know if Tosh have agreed the problem and offer any help?

  It doesn't have to be dull I ve also found this update from Toshiba product support page, but there is nothing listed on the problems of F30
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/generic/PRODUCT_UPDATE_SUPPORT

  What to say. Seems only a technician ASP might solve your problem, but replacing motherboard is a costly affair so it s your own decision to want to do

  In any case... good luck...
