Qosmio G10 106 produced some strange noises

Hi all

Yesterday, my computer is doing some strange noises and I had to start cold but after that the Qosmio logo comes up and has the startup sound and remains with the logo and the HDD LED is on continuously.

Any ideas how to solve this problem would be highly appreciated.
See you soon,.

Hi black

Can you please identify the place comes from this strange noise? Is this something like clicking noise when spinning HDD or what?

Please be careful about this. When this noise is coming from the HARD drive, it may be that the HARD drive is going to die soon. If possible, back up all your important data.

  • On Qosmio G10 106 HARD drive failure

    I have a G10-106 and you had for about 18 months. About 6 weeks ago, one of the hard drives began to fail - asked checkdisk all the time, and found errors. I have saved and replaced it with my old 40 GB of old toshiba laptop hard drive.

    Yesterday the computer started making strange clicking noises and I assumed it was the fan. Today it is squeal - sounded like a drill. I had checked it by a friend who fixes PC and he said all seemed well and it was a little more quiet - no screeching.
    2 hours later, it seems that the d drive disappeared. I used an adapter and tried to read it in a desktop computer, but it cannot be found.

    Surely if he failed he would always see as a disc? Also is there a way to recover my files? I had everything backed up on this 2nd disk and am now feeling so depressed as it seems that everything has been lost or destroyed. I don't know what to do now.
    Anyone else had problems with hard drives?

    I think buying a new laptop. My last laptop broke after 2 years with graphics and remedial failure could not be a part.

    Hello

    I had HARD drive problem on my old 1900 satellite. One day, that the HARD drive had died suddenly. I wasn't able to boot up the laptop, even in safe mode. The HARD drive makes strange as noise running the Defragmenter tool. Connecting as external HDD on my second phone it was the same situation.

    Autour Googling, I found an interesting also called HDD Regenerator. He found many bad sectors on the HARD disk. If you want to try to do the same thing. I hope that you will be able to start HDD Regenerator because in my case, it was not able until I've erased the two partitions using partition magic.

  • Qosmio G10 106 will not start

    My Qosmio g10 primer not. I am getting white vertical lines on each side of the qosmio splash screen. If I try to boot from the drive, the screen turns white with a cursor blinking in the upper right.

    I can't boot into SafeMode either. One of the suggestions, as the machine is longer under warranty and I suspect that it is maybe the motherboard is dead.

    Hello

    It's not easy to tell exactly what part is wrong, but in my opinion there must be definitely something wrong with the hardware.
    I t can give you an appropriate response to the fault, but I recommend asking Toshiba service for opinion. It should have more experience in these matters.
    The service partner could start some diagnostic tests can locate the fault.

  • Black and white Tv with Qosmio G10 106 images

    Gray hair and going bald of pulling hair. Bought Toshiba G10-106 Jan 05, living in Ireland, using Tv ordinary cable adapter for laptop and can't get the Tv working properly. B & w images are the best ive got so far.

    Is there compatibility with Toshiba and Windows MCE driver problems? Also, if I run Tv without having to start windows I get a channel (E4) in color but totally blurry. Would like to have this cracked as worn a lot of dosh on the laptop and I'm relatively new to computers and want a good factor of feeling rather than depression.
    Thank you all.

    Hello

    As Chris has said that there may be several reasons for this problem. Please check your TV standard. For Ireland, it is PAL - I. It is very important.

    I had a similar problem and found the solution. My TV has a setting called S-Video. By choosing this option was problem-solving.

  • my tour made some strange noises

    My Tower is a loud sounds coming from the back where the fan is I have no idea what can hurt any1help me

    You can take the party off the PC and take a look inside. Make sure that it is not prime. It could be a wire to the fan, or it could be a lot of dust accumulation. If everything seems fine, it may just be a bad fan. Most of them can be replaced, with the exception of the supply fan (requires a complete new unit).

    Hello

    Self-monitoring analysis and Reporting Technology (or S.M.A.R.T.) is a technology that allows a PC to in some cases predict future failure storage devices. This SMART technology is present in your drive, but by default is set to off on your drive. To use the feature S.M.A.R.T. would require you a software (or BIOS) which allows and monitors the Smart status of your hard drive.

    HARD disk speed is unfortunately unknown to me.

    I'm sure that the TV tuner is set to Pal if you will buy it in the United Kingdom and may not be changed for NTSC.

    Qosmio G10 106 has 4 x USB ports and Bluetooth is not available.

  • Strange noise on a Satellite A55 S1064

    Since two days I have a strange problem with my Satellite A55S1064 aged 1 month. The cooler was very quiet because I bought the laptop, but 2 days ago it began to produce a strange noise that I can't really work on the laptop, it really of destruction. The laptop gets hot, but I think that this is not a critical temperature - my laptop previous also had hot at times.

    An interesting fact is that when I hit the pc a little more noise stops for a few minutes.

    My suggestion is, this cooler gets stuck or sth similar. What can I do about it? I don't want to send my laptop in support, because it'll take some time to check the problem then.

    Hello

    It s a very bad idea to open Notepad by yourself, because you will lose the warranty.
    It s a new portable computer and you do not need threatened security.
    You can make the laptop to your dealer or you will contact the Toshiba service partner in your country.
    I'll take one of these possibilities.

  • Qosmio G10 - no sound on DVD playback

    I have a Qosmio G10 - 106 I just got working again - had to replace the hard drives. I have loaded Windows 7 top and almost everything works up to a point, but gradually working through each of the questions.
    I can't find the original restore disks.

    The problem I have with sound - there is no sound during playback of dvd, although it works very well on Web pages, IE YouTube and is also on audio CD.

    Any suggestions please?

    Hi Debsta_1!

    What software you use to watch DVDs?
    In my opinion, this has something to do with the software you use, because you wrote that the sound works on pages web e. g.

    I always use VLC media player to watch movies on my computer. It s compatible with most audio and video files and this tool is a freeware. I like it a lot because it of too small and never had a problem with it.

  • Strange noises coming from the D command

    I bought a Toshiba computer and installed the program, the laptop produces a strange noise coming from the drive D as given that any departure or visit regularly. This happens like every 15 min or 20 min. Is this not a major problem. I just bought the laptop 3 days ago can I change my computer by another?

    I've had in the past a laptop making the same noise and the D drive stop working in 1 year

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    Which drive D mean? The STRANGE internal or second partition?

    Which laptop model you purchased?

    Here he s a user to user forum and it is difficult to say if this is normal or not without hearing it. If in doubt, you should contact an authorized service provider. They can give you an official response on this behavior.

    In addition if your laptop is only 3 days old he should t be a problem to swap it with another.

  • SatelliteA200 - 23 k - strange noise coming from the fan area

    I have my model A200-23 laptop Toshiba PSAE6E for 1.5 years and I recently returned from service.
    I sent there due to a nonfunctional key.

    All right, they changed the keyboard... but since I found, I have noticed some strange noises coming from the fan area...

    The sound is not so strong, but it's pretty boring.
    I cleaned using compressed air, but the sound has not disappeared.
    It is still under warranty, but I don't think they would do something against this noise.

    The laptop works very well, it is not overheating or something, but I cannot get used to the noise.
    Should Whatd I do?

    Hello

    Hard to say what noise would that be
    But if the laptop was removed by a technician of the ASP in the past, then you should get in touch with the same technicians again and have to explain your situation!
    A screw has perhaps forgotten who knows
    I think that the technician should take a new look on this laptop

    I wouldn't recommend open and disassemble the laptop yourself because you could void the warranty

  • Strange noise coming from the fan on Satellite P100

    My Satellite P100 just makes a noise like a seriously heavy drill. Nothing else happened significantly so I turned off immediately and left for an hour or so overheating had the broken fan.
    Now back on and everything seems fine, but I'm worried. Is there something that can explain this? I got 5 interviews next week for which I use the laptop to prepare a presentation and I do not want to fail on me at the last minute...

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hello

    that could be an object (something really little) is/was blocked in your FAN and is now gone. If this would be a problem of turnover so the fan would still some strange noises.

    I suggest you do the following: use your machine as usual and if noise appears again then ask a technician to clean the fan/ventilation system. I Don t think it s some malfunction of the equipment.
