Qosmio G10-100: no powerup faulty motherboard

Hello

I am trying to remotely diagnose power with my Qosmio F20 girls (she died at the University).

When she lit yesterday at best she got was the blue power button display and variations of:
Display completely black - nothing more
Qosmio screen logo with lines on the screen flicker, followed to a black screen
Qosmio screen logo glitter with lines on the screen, followed a black screen with blinking cursor.

Insertion of recovery dvd and starting by f12 key only gave blue button and black screen.

ESC more power to high gives flickering Qosmio logo, followed by 0000 and blinking cursor on the black screen.

Some other messages suggest that a new motherboard is necessary.

Any suggestions?
What price to provide and install a motherboard?
This seems to be a common fault - is this common?

Thanks Colin

Hello

The fact that the laptop is a G10-100 and not F20 doesn t change the situation. As Lorelei said if the laptop can not pass by Toshiba or Qosmio screen so there must be a hardware failure. This looks like a malfunction of the motherboard. But to solve it, you should ask for help ASP.

  • Qosmio G10-100 - failed afer replacement with larger HARD drive HARD drive

    Following a failure in a Qosmio G10-100 HARD drive, I replaced the HD 80 GB IDE current with a 160 GB IDE drive. After execution of the recovery of the DVD, new HARD drive has been formatted and installed the software (later proved by removing the drive and treat as an exterrnal disk on another PC).

    However, on booting, the machine has recognized that it was another hard drive and it wouldn't let me go beyond the screen that offers alternatives (Safe Mode, etc.), nor what would allow me access.

    Sorry mate but I put t understand what you did exactly
    You have installed the Windows operating system on the new HARD drive by using the recovery disk. Right?
    Well, the recovery procedure has completed correctly? The operating system has been successfully installed?

  • Drivers Vista for Qosmio G10-100

    Have acquired a portable G10-100 which is under Vista Premium, and commissioning a new hardware found box appears for the mass storage controller. However, I was unable to find the driver for it. I contacted Toshiba who informed me that they don't support probems Vista on older machines! and an online search does not yield no results. Built in multi card reader is a Texas Instruments PC17x21 dedicated Sockets SD/MMC/MS/MSPRO/SM/XD.

    Hello

    Toshiba Qosmio G10 was delivered only with OS Win XP and not Vista.
    According to the official document of Toshiba drivers Vista for G10 series don t exist and which will not.
    I think that you should check the Web site of the (device) chip manufacturing to a compatible driver or test driver Vista released for an another series i.e Qosmio G30

  • Qosmio G10 - 100 video error

    My reports from G10 5mth old "video error - files neede to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Media Center and/or restart the computer.

    Follow the instructions makes no difference. Anyone know what I need to do? Thanks a lot in anticipation!

    Hello

    Sorry, but it is not easy to say why this is happening because your explanation is not good enough. If you use the device without any problem and this message occurs only if you want to start some video files, it may be that this file is the reason for this problem.

  • Qosmio G20 screen is comatible with display Qosmio G10?

    Hello

    Dose anyone know if the screen Toshiba Qosmio G10 is compatible with the Toshiba Qosmio G20?

    Thank you guys

    Of
    Sweet

    Hello

    I think display of the G20 should be compatible with the Qosmio G10 display.
    I searched a bit and found that the Qosmio G10-100 PQG10E was fitted with the 17 "WIDE XGA LCD.
    The Qosmio G20-101 PQG20E supports the same 17 "WIDE XGA display.

    Therefore, it seems that both units use the same screen.

  • Qosmio G10: Question about motherboard replacement

    I bought the G10 around 2 years there are in the United Kingdom and who now live in New Zealand.

    I would say it has been a faithful companion, but looking back it cost much to get anything done, because of the ridiculous prices of the FSA.

    I experienced a power supply, two hard drives, my touch pad no longer works and now the GPU (graphics card) is dead.

    I'm sure that most of the people on this forum knows, that is, replacing the motherboard because it is on board.

    I am out of warranty and replacement cost is more than a qosmio second hand of the same age.

    Having done a lot of research on the internet about it.
    I found out that Toshiba US will free of charge replace the motherboard. I asked Toshiba AUS/NZ and they refused him, that it was not a problem.

    Toshiba UK/Europe does, or is it just the Toshiba US that cares about its customers?

    Hello

    It's very sad to hear that! :(
    I want to share my knowledge on the Toshiba us and Europe.
    As I know the Toshiba us has nothing to do with Toshiba Europe or Australia/New Zealand.
    Portable computers designed for the American market are simply different and also supports different parts and numbers; for example the Qosmio G10 or G20 are not available in the United States but only the Qosmio G15 or G25, etc.

    If you have problems with your hardware, you must contact the partner service manager authorized in your country for further assistance.

    Regarding your question.
    Yes, it really looks like a malfunction of the GPU (graphic processor unit). This graphics chip is fixed on the plateau and in the majority of cases, the whole Board needs to be replaced!
    As you know, these hardware problems could still happen because the new age books are of the high-end products that work always with high performance.
    That s nothing unusual.

    I bought a year ago from G20 and I bought an extended warranty on avoid such troubles.
    So, I always recommend buying the extended warranty in the future.

    Good luck and best regards

  • Qosmio G10 106: no guarantee but the motherboard has been replaced for free for free

    Hey there.

    I have my toshiba QOSMIO G10 since 2005 and this year my chart just went bad for some reason, my bad I was my warranty had already expired, so I called Toshiba to inquire about the price of the motherboard as the graphics card is integrated with it.

    It was absurd VAT will cost me £630.00, I got frustrated and I decided to call Toshiba to make a complaint as a fact. They returned my call telling me

    They will change my motherboard for FREE and they made in '48 hours' unbeliveble.

    It was amazing and grateful. So if anyone has the same problem as I'd just call them.

    PS This is my second Toshiba computer, I can tell you after I will love forever toshiba and I fell so happy and proud to have had bought my computer a respectable company like Toshiba.

  • Qosmio G10 - how to upgrade the DMI information?

    Help, please!
    I have trouble with Qosmio G10. Toshiba support don't really.help me.

    I changed my motherboard with nVidia 6600 go and 915 PM and new BIOS. Now there are several problems: I tried to run the update tool CD, but it stops and «please use this CD with F10, G10...» Press any key to stop. I can not run product recovery, bad Machine.

    OK, I thought, this Forum search and found that there must be something with DMI. Download Toshdmi10.exe and run it on a bootable CD but the ID does not match!

    Now, I installed XP-Home Edition without recovery of MCE, but it seems that he's in trouble, because the laptop works single fix 598 MHz and has 45 Watt idle Powerconsumentation! It's a lot more before I think. Too much?!

    How can I solve the problem-DMI to run Update tool and recovery CD?

    Hello

    Normally the DMI information can only be updated from an authorized service...

    You wrote about a new mainboard is the same as older mainboard? Maybe the new chipset and graphics card are not compatible with the other pieces of equipment

    In your case I would contact the ASP again. Normally, they should help you if you explain your problem exactly. ;)

  • Replacement card mother Qosmio G10

    After replacing the card mother a Qosmio G10-120 original Win Xp MCE with the official update (FC43S1 A5A001749010 P000454980 jury), some problems have arisen:

    1. second HARD drive internal no more seen.
    2. all buttons stop "standby/disable rebooting the computer" do not completely take effect (office closed way unexpected but manual power button continues to show the color blue and portable remains active).
    3. always on cooling fan.

    Upgrade the motherboard consisted of:

    1. creation of new channels DMI Council (in particular "Model name" field was set to "Qosmio G10").
    2. loading the CD-ROM TCN0000006 official update tool.
    3. no recovery BIOS or EC/KBC.

    Any idea?

    I m wondering how you did update the information in the DMI?
    As far as I know that the Toshiba authorised service provider is able to update information DMI as the model name, version number, etc. using utilities and special tools.

    I googled for the motherboard part number, you have deposited in your original thread, and it seems that this motherboard has been developed the Qosmio F15 series.
    So maybe his bad card mother

  • Problem of graphics card on Satellite P20 552 & Qosmio G10

    Hallo,

    I have two 17-inch monitors computers laptop Toshiba as desktop replacement: 1 x Satellite P20 552 & 1 x Qosmio G10.
    Both are dead graphics card problem.
    The conclusion of my research on the WEB, it's the nVidia FX Go5700 card seems to be the weak point of these laptops.

    On the Satellite Map dies slowly: during startup Toshiba logo disappeared but WinXP logo was very good load, then WinXP loaded with the screen not refreshing and the problem of synchronization, etc..
    The Qosmio died suddenly: activities on the hard drive I guess load WinXP, but black screen (internal and external)!

    I know that, unlike the desktop computer, the graphics processor is not a separate entity; It is built into the motherboard. My questions are:

    (1) who should be blamed, Toshiba or Nvidia?
    (2) how to prevent premature rupture of the card/motherboard?
    (3) the card/motherboard could be repaired?

    Hallo

    I have red Satellite P20 304 and it still works well. Maybe you can offer this story to someone else, but I can say that Satellite P20 is great for laptop. I like it. Old, but still has an attractive design.
    If you have no luck I can understand it but to talk in general and write about weakness is for me nothing more than absurd.

    Nice questions here especially one. :)
    1 - to blame someone will help any. Try to get the replacement and get it working again.
    2. There is nothing you can do. All you can do is to take care of the use of the laptop and do not overheat.
    3. as far as I know that something like this is not possible. In this case the motherboard will be replaced.

    What you can do is to check eBay from time to time. You may be lucky and you can buy used motherboard for a good price and exchange it.
