• Qosmio F30 - How can I increase the RAM

  IM from the philippines and I've had this laptop PQF30-00X016AR...
  Where could I find a Toshiba Center appropriate for that.

  This is because the laptop Qosmio series and I want to expand the memory.
  So bad, but this kind of cell is not yet released in our market.

  How or where I could spend it?

  Hi mate

  The Qosmio F30 memory can be upgraded up to 4 GB of RAM.
  In this case you would need 2 x 2 GB DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM.
  Usually it s no matter what manufacturer of RAM is all the DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules must be compatible
  But I prefer the Kingston modules I use a more long time and had good experience with it.

  The RAM slots are placed at the bottom of the unit. There is a component of slot secured with a screw. You will need to remove this screw in order to get access to the memory locations.

  PS: the detailed instruction how to upgrade the RAM modules can be found in the user manual. You can find the download page manual here:

• Upgrading RAM on Qosmio F30-140

  Hello world
  My Qosmio F30 - 140 maximum expansion memory is 4 096 MB, but when I installed 4 GB (2 X 2 GB Transcend SODIMM 667 MHz) RAM, the operating system can it recognized as only 3.25 GB. The Bios still shows that I have 4 096 MB of RAM.
  So why Windows cannot show the size of RAM?

  Hello

  4 GB of RAM support depends on not only the operating system.

  To use the full 4 GB of RAM, BIOS, Chipset and the operating system must support the 4 GB.
  If one of the parts mentioned would not provide the capacity of 4 GB, then you would not be able to use it.

  Good bye

• Upgrade of Qosmio F30/695LS (the slot with a weird module hard problem)

  So I try to upgrade my laptop, its starting to show his age in this world or the very rapid evolution out. I want to add two 1 GB RAM cards. I read somewhere that 2 GB is memory max does anyone know if it is in terms of upgrade only or including 512 who comes standard? The cards must also be 200 pin DDR2 SO-DIMM, but I don't know how fast that is capable of confronting the laptop, I can put 800 MHz in there? Now, I had read that the manual except that it's like the laptop in Japanese! I'm also trying to add a second hard drive, there is a second location, but... There's something seriously weird sitting in there! Here are some pictures to help identify it:

  [http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3230/2791686827_13b6e68776.jpg?v=0]

  [http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3205/2792538470_2d6fed3710_b.jpg]

  For me, it seems to be a kind of a dummy module, but like I said I don't know noty - whatever it is, it causes a lot of problems - it can not be removed from the underside of the laptop, which means I have to open all and pull it out of the bottom of the keyboard (if that is even possible?) and I don't want to not pull something important on accidentally! Thus, any information would be very useful!

  Hello
  If you want to upgrade the RAM for Qosmio F30, then you can use SO DIMM DDR2 533 Mhz PC2-4200

  MODULES MUST BE ORDER AND INSTALLED in PAIRS for Dual Channel mode.

  so, you can order the 2 GB kit (2 x 1 GB).

  You must remove the old module 512 of your laptop, you can also see the speed written.

  and on the strange object sitting in the slot of the HARD drive, I think it's a kind of wireless or Bluetooth card because there is an aerial cable attached to it, you can try to unplug the card and turn on your laptop and see if there are wireless devices or Bluetooth removed from the system.

  also try to find what is written inside this card, a reference number or Description and post it to us.

  This laptop sold in Japan only and that the specification is different from that which is sold in europe.

  Kind regards

• Qosmio F30: installed new drivers now no sound.

  I have a Qosmio F30 (PQF32), have just started to use Driver Detective to update the drivers, problem is now I have no sound.
  Control Panel says no. Audio Device, and more when I boot it says new hardware found PCI but can not find the driver.
  Would appreciate any help to restore the sound on my PC... "Not impressed with Driver Detective".

  Hello

  Why you n t back to the first version of driver sound?

  You could do this driver download sound manually from the European pilot of Toshiba page.

  Then delete the old driver from the Device Manager (uninstall) and after rebooting again install the new downloaded driver.

  Usually, it should work!

• Qosmio F30 - installing the new hard drive

  Hello

  I just installed a new hard drive on my Qosmio F30 - he came originally only with a 60 GB hard drive.

  The second disc is identical to the first in every way, i.e. of 60 GB drive Toshiba.

  I initialized the new drive and it also shows online and unallocated. I want to use the reader to basically increase my quality, not like a mirror and so chose this option using the RAID Utility.

  However when I expelore the C drive, it shows than the total capacity of the drives as 60 GB. I guess that both drives should be showing as a player, like 120 GB.

  The drive works properly?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can check in the BIOS if the second HDD is recognized correctly

  As you say you don t want to use a mirror mode, but then you must set the RAID0 stripping!

  Please also check the settings of the BIOS RAID!

  At page 242 user manual you will find all the details on the different options and what they are for

• Qosmio F30 audio driver for Windows Server 2008

  I'm only running a virtual machine with Windows Server 2008 installed. The server sees my Sound Driver, but it does not recognize it and ask for driver all the time. I tried running the installer of Sound Driver from the CD, but it didn't work, said: not supported operating system. I tried a driver all over the web and I found none. Can someone help to find this driver for me or let me know it it is possible to manually install this driver?

  I will be grateful for any help.

  As you probably know that Qosmio F30 is not designed to be used as a server and general support Toshiba doesn t Server2008. All you can do is to identify the manufacturer of the sound card and try to find the driver on its support page.

  Boyfriend sorry but that s all I can say about it.

• 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...
