• Qosmio F50 - 10K - multimedia keys are not lit

  According to my topic

  "" Qosmio F50 - 10K - replaced by Qosmio F60-126? ".
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=59934&TSTART=0

  I had problems with my laptop, located at the Nvidia 9600 M GT graphics according to Toshiba service. They changed the graphics card with a new one today and so far everything is going very well and smooth. He collapsed again. Time will tell whether or not it returns to his old ways.

  In any case, after I took up my F50 - 10K I noticed that the indicators for media buttons (Play / Pause, Stop, Dolby, etc) are not lit. The buttons work fine, but they are not on. All other indicators (the light bar on the touchpad, the volume light) and the power light work fine. There is a button to deactivate/activate the indicators, but it does not work for media indicators.

  Before giving my laptop to the service of all the indicators were at work. Now, the indicators of media came out. No idea how to re-enable?

  Hi Jwrath,

  I doubt s a hardware problem because they do not work properly and the lit / functions are controlled by added value package. In your case, I recommend reinstall Toshiba Value added Package from the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Remove the VAP, restart the computer and install the new VAP software.

  In addition, check the BIOS. I don't know if there is an option for Mr. lighting if so, enable it and that s.

• Qosmio X 500 - 11 d: Fingerprint reader question and webcam problem

  Hello

  I am the owner of a portable X 500 - 11 d of Qosmio computer and I ran into a few problems these last time:

  1. After installing windows 7, the fingerprint reader has worked flawlessly for about a month, but now the login screen of windows 7 not poster not the option to connect with the fingerprint and when I try to start the utility of fingerprint toshiba it gives an error could not connect to the sensor.

  The strange thing is that I can't find the finger print sensos under Device Manager. Windows just does not detect it. I tried to reinstall the drivers and software, I've updated the bios but nothing works.

  2. the camera on the laptop, it is installed properly (the said driver is ok) but when you use the image is all black. I should mention that the blue light turns on when you use the camera.

  I tried to find a solution to the fingerprint issue o the forum here, but nothing has been using, hope someone knows how to solve.

  > The strange thing is under the Device Manager I don't think the impression sensos finger; Windows just does not detect it. I tried to reinstall the drivers and software, I've updated the bios but nothing works.

  Well, I m sure this laptop model X 500 - 11 d supports the fingerprint sensor.
  Please set the BIOS to default settings and check if there is a BIOS setting that can enable or disable the fingerprint sensor.

  > 2. The camera on the laptop, it is installed properly (the said driver is ok) but when you use the image is all black. I should mention that the blue light turns on when you use the camera.

  I had the same problem. In my case, that the room was too dark and the cam didn't work well. I had covered the lens of the webcam and after that I withdrew my finger from the webcam, webcam worked again. Notes; the room was very bright and the probe could catch the environment. I don't know if this could help Mr. maybe, you need to uninstall the webcam software before you try this procedure

• Problem on the Qosmio F50 - 10Z card reader

  I had this problem for a while, he started with the original OS Vista 32-bit, so I decided to buy the cd to upgrade toshiba for windows 7, after the update level, everything worked fine, except for the card reader, regardless of how many times I have installed/uninstalled, installed the driver, it wouldn't work!

  So I used the recovery cd, not once BUT TWICE, and nothing helps I sent to repair.
  I received a message on a piece of paper telling me that it would work on the original operating system, I thought that they had something fixed.
  Then I used the recovery cd AGAIN and to my excitement thrown short to see any yellow explanation points I put a micro sd card (2 GB) that worked when I bought this laptop first and got no response.
  The biggest problem is that my warranty is now closed!, so basically, I've been HIT MORE, cause the memory card slot does NOT WORK and it wasn't a software problem!

  Any reccomendations?

  Hi karimtarek,

  Which driver version you are using on Vista and Windows 7? My Qosmio F50 is running Windows 7 and I m using the version of the driver on Toshiba page 1.00.29.02.
  You use the same version?

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if the SD card has worked once you have received the notebook service center back. Have you tested before or did you start installation recovery immediately?

  Have you tried different brands of SD cards? I always use the SanDisk Extreme cards because they did not no problem.
  In addition, you could try updating the BIOS. Maybe this works if you are using an older version

  Last but not least if it s does not always work and you think that it s a hardware malfunction, ask at the center of service again. If you speak a bit with technicians, maybe they can fix it as a gesture of goodwill.

  Good luck! :)

• Qosmio F50 - 10K - replaced by Qosmio F60-126?

  According to reports from Toshiba, laptop model F50 - 10 K is removed and replaced with F60 - 126.

  I would like to know why.

  Hello

  I think Toshiba only knows the exact answer, but I can say that all Qosmio F50 have been replaced by new Toshiba Qosmio F60 series. Latter has a new design with newer and more powerful hardware, it s cutting edge design and material.
  This normal behavior from time to time some laptop models will be replaced by new ones.

  Are you not satisfied with your F50? I mean s still a great piece of hardware ;)

• Video problem on Qosmio F50 - 10K

  Hello
  I connected my Qosmio F50 on a projector and watched a few movies and everything worked fine. But when I started playing an EA Sports NBA 2008 the system has collapsed and the image of the screen and the missing projector.

  I rebooted and tried again but after 10-15 minutes it collapsed again. I installed the latest version of the graphics driver nvidia a few days ago. Any help is appreciated, sorry for the bad English.

  > monitor and projector
  Can you please explain what exactly do you do?
  Choose a single device (monitor or projector) and test again.

  I hope you didn't just try to see the same image (cloned) on three different screens.

• How to get Vista 64 Bit from Toshiba Qosmio F50 - 10K-

  Hello

  A few days ago, I bought Qosmio F50 - 10 K but with Vista Ultimate 32 Bit.
  It does not satisfy me
  Does anyone know how to get Vista Ultimate 64 Bit from Toshiba?

  This version has been developed for the Poland, but in this country there is no office representative or something like that. There are only distributors or shops who import laptops of distributors abroad.

  Hello

  You won't get a Toshiba 64-bit Vista.
  What you can do is to buy the operating system Vista 64 bit full, original and reinstall instead of Vista 32-bit, which is already installed on your laptop.

  I think 64-bit drivers for Toshiba Qosmio F50 Vista can be downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page!

  Good bye

• PC laptop Envy 17: Envy 17 laptop PC fingerprint reader works only after the start

  The fingerprint on my Envy 17 reader reads only a fingerprint the first time that I connect once the system is booted (after shutdown or restart). From time to time, it will read once the system is locked, but that is extremely rare. I put the system in place using my MSN account and also configured SimplePass with default settings. SimplePass version is 8.00.57.

  I looked on several other issues in the forum and did not find something like this. Other issues reported when related to player doesn't work do not, for example. I found a few link in some messages describing such tasks that go back to a previous version of SimplePass.

  I don't know if it is related to my problem or not, but I noticed that the drive light sometimes flashes a sequence once the system is running. It seems that when the light flashes, it will not be read. It stops flashing when I placed my finger on the reader. (I think that the typical sequence is 3 flashes, pause, 1 flash. This cycle repeats.) This isn't always for that well, and I have found no correlation between the flashes and the measures taken after the initial logon.

  I made the fingerprint reader driver, rather than later.

  I uninstalled SimplePass (after update to the last with no luck) and the drive works fine now. I use RoboForm for my password management and it supports using the fingerprint so I'm covered there. I guess it should be renamed "SimplyNoPass."

  Hello ppl

  1. I have a problem with the video card: 9600 M GT.
  I play Word of Warcraft or the need for speed carbon, from time to time and after 1 h - 0, 30 h (even 10 minutes) of game - the system hangs.
  Black screen and I need to restart the system. I have the latest drivers installed, the newer bios, nvidia latest.

  2. when I play music with winamp or media player or another player at any time the system crashes during 2-3 seconds.

  3. the laptop came with a preinstalled OS Vista Ultimate x 86. Can I migrate to Vista Ultimate x 64 OS without any other charges? If a person of Toshiba reads my thread: I already talked with Microsoft and they told me that I have the cd - key should work on x 64, but I need the OS from Toshiba.

  Please tell me if there is a way to solve these problems

  Thank you!

  I have same problem, used to play nba08 and after half a hour system breaks down, also tried with the toshiba display driver, with the nvidia display driver. seems to me that it is a serious mistake of toshiba to let that happen. so expensive laptop and a such rap c.

• Qosmio F50 - 10K - Atheros Wifi & Touch pad drivers for Win7?

  Also please provide some information about the BIOS - is there need for specific adaptations for better compatibility with Win7? You will soon release the update of BIOS for Win7?

  Thanks in advance for your answers!

  For the touchpad, you can try to use the Vista drivers. It works fine on my Win7 preinstalled Satellite A500.

• Qosmio F50 - graphics card may not be recognized under 64-bit Windows

  I installed the operating system Windows XP 64 on Toshiba Qosmio F50 - 10K. I have a big problem, because Windows XP does not recognize my graphics card (nvidia geforce 9600 m gt).
  I tried to install the drivers from the nvidia site, but once this graphics card still has not been recognized.
  It causes that, when I try to push and drag a window, I can see how it is re-paint.

  Could someone help me to solve my problem?

  Hello!

  I think that the problem cannot be solved. Toshiba doesn't support any laptop computer with Windows XP 64-bit because it is OS was not so popular.

  The only way I know is to use drivers from external Web sites and update your BIOS to the latest version. If it doesn't work, you must use another operating system.

  I think that the Qosmio F50 is really fast enough for Vista 64-bit. Try it and you will see too much work.

• Weird problem with Qosmio F50-108 - power power button

  Hello

  I have strange problem with button / stop on Toshiba Qosmio F50-108 - pressing the power button won't start the computer. Now, the computer starts only when I press the first button to the right of the power button (Toshiba button Support).

  It's as if the buttons have been activated. The power button is still able to stop the laptop or put on standby when you press on, but it no longer starts. Recently, I had my laptop on the service, but I put t know if it has been opened or not. Is it possible that the problem is hardware related or is - this serious just of system configuration? It would help if I Flash the BIOS? Otherwise I will take to the service again.

  Thank you for the answers!

  Hello

  If the laptop was on the service, please call them and explain the situation. Start button / stop is only the button that can be used for the specification of switching on and, as far as I know, it cannot be changed with certain parameters.

  I assume that there must be a contact problem.

  Call and see what they say on this subject.

• Qosmio F50: Fingerprint Reader disconnect by pressing on the area between the touchpad & SPACEBAR

  Hello!

  I got my Qosmio one a week ago and I'm quite happy with it, except a little problem.

  I noticed that while typing or playing a game, I would get random "device" / "device disconnected" sound of windows.
  Keeping the open Device Manager, I discovered it was the fingerprint reader.

  After a little research (and some luck), I noticed that if I press the area between the touchpad and the SPACEBAR just enough to drop the case, the fingerprint reader would disconnect momentarily.

  Anyone else having the same problem?

  I think it was a good decision that you have replaced the unit because based on your description this issue looked like a hardware problem.
