Qosmio G15-AV501 has stopped working

My Qosmio G15-Av501 has stopped working after only 14 months of service. I was informed by repairers Toshibas that the graphics card has failed and it will require a payment of 512 gbp to fix. Since I have 3 other notebooks of 16 inches that have been in service without problem in my studio of photography for 5 years - I'm obviously not very happy about that - probably a graphics card cannot cost as much in this day and age?

Does anyone else have experiences like this?

Hi, Geoffrey

It s still a very stupid situation if a device like a laptop computer malfunctioning.
But believe me, something like this can always happen

My old laptop works very well for 5 years but my brother's mobile died after 5 months of use.
Why? No one will be able to answer these questions...
You know, these are high-tech devices, and each small part could cause problems.

Laptop graphics cards are not the same as desktop graphics cards and therefore more expensive.
This is why I always recommend buying an extended warranty. The usual guarantee lasts 2 years (after the recording of the laptop) and covers these repairs.

It is perhaps a good idea for the future of s

  • Qosmio G30 - GPU has stopped working

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Qosmio G - 30 portable series.
    Same problem as all the others. The GPU has stopped working. Tried with external monitor too, same thing.
    This is the 3rd time what happens.

    Finally 2 times had to be repaired. The guys at Toshiba just suggest a motherboard replacement, which is about $1000 USD.

    In INDIA, they have the very worst customer service, taking customers for granted.

    I'm trying to get the GPU: nVIDIA GeForce GF-Go7600-N-A2 G73M GPU BGA Chipset, replaced.

    E Bay, some sell one those given to NINE and some new.
    NEVER HEARD OF A CHIP SE RE_FURBISHED.

    Can someone help me please?
    Is this the replacement work and what is a smart refurbished?
    Which will work?
    Does anyone know any service center etc. in INDIA who can do a good job on this?

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    I don't have never heard about refurbished CPU or GPU, the internet is a vast world, and you can always find strange and products
    To be honest I would not take it. For me it sounds too strange

    However, the GPU malfunction is really annoying problem. The fact is that in most cases, the motherboard must be replaced and it is always a costly affair if the guarantee is no longer valid

    You have a service center in India.
    Well, I found this database ASP from Toshiba. You will find all the FSA all over the world.

  • Qosmio G30 - DVD-ROM drive has stopped working

    I have a Qosmio G30 age of 3 years and the DVD - ROM drive has stopped working.

    He still pulls in, but it will not read or burn discs.

    I received a quote of £360 Toshiba to adapt to a new one that seems generous.

    Anyone know where I could get it fixed cheaper than you?
    Or better yet... anyone know where I can I get it fixed?

    David Hutchinson

    Hello
    This is not an answer to your question but can solve the problem if it is the same that I had.
    In my case, the drive tries to spin but it slips. Only the motor shaft rotates and the drive remains at low revolutions that were not even stationary.
    The problem was caused by the fact that the plastic part (black color) of the mechanism which engages the disc (CD or DVD) slips on the
    motor drive, axle and th couldn't do a full rotation or runs at the specified speed.
    The solution is to delete the article in plastic and put a small amount of super glue on the axle and then put it back.

    Where there is a similar issue, I hope that solve you it like I did.

  • Façade has stopped working properly on the Qosmio X 300/305

    Greetings and thanks for reading,

    I had my computer not a week ago and since then, I had some problems, especially with a blue screen when I hit the FN key. Research on the problem, I disabled services of Toshiba and eventually found the culprit: hwsetup.exe. Manual execution crashed my computer and it still doesn't work. However, after you install a new version of it, it seems that FN is working fine now. Hwsetup running always breaks the computer well.
    Any ideas what may cause this? The computer is new, so I don't see what I could have done to cause this situation myself.

    Now to the following problem: it seems that the façade has stopped working correctly, the touch of the keys that allow you to launch the application Dolby, the webcam application and also turn on and off the red lights on the keyboard. When I click on the touch keys, all I get is the tone of the speakers, but nothing happens. I guess I have disabled something by mistake. Any thoughts?

    I would be grateful any entry immensely, people, so please share your theories with me. It is such a thin laptop and I can sleep now, it's difficult to to cause these problems... ridiculous, Yes, but I want everything to be perfect because I spent so much money.

    Best regards

    Hello

    > I can't install the flash card value as well as the utility driver package. It's actually the cause of the blue FN screens. I'm really lost here.
    First of all, you should check if the BIOS version you are using is the most recent.
    If this isn't the case, update the BIOS.
    Then, you must install the utility to Support Flash Cards because this utility is necessary, to get other utility Toshiba works.

    Then install the added value package because it contains the Driver TOSHIBA components common that is an essential component of Windows Vista. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.
    It also contains the TOSHIBA Flash Cards tool that provides Hotkey function and function of pitcher who starts the keyboard shortcut function and sends the other TOSHIBA utilities.

  • Qosmio G15-AV501 - cannot recover - MACHINE TROUBLE error

    Hi, im using laptop Qosmio G15-AV501. I decided to do a recovery with discs included.

    Here are my steps:

    1. width launched 1 2 recovery disk. Reported recovery software 'BAD MACHINE'
    2. has tried to launch the tool update DMI, witch, I downloaded from the toshiba web site (my G15-AV501 model was included in the list of supported models!)
    3. DMI updates tool reported that "error - no id of corresponding platform was found."
    4. I started the process of recovery manually with the commands:
    Q:
    Basic CD
    OS.bat

    Recovery (Ghost) has launched and completed without error. But after Windows XP Recovery displays BSOD without name or error code.

    What can be?

    Without error here, no one can say with certainty what the problem is here.
    If possible, get the facilities for Windows XP Home edition CD and try installing the OS.

    It will be interesting to know if the BSOD will appear again.

    Hey Joe,

    I see that you have updated your drivers.

    Have you updated your chipset for this PC drivers?

    Are you overclocking PC or running a RAID configuration?

    I suggest to remove all external devices during the diagnostic process, except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

    If you think this error is with IE, you can try running it without Add - ons.

    Alternatively, you can try to reset the Internet Explorer settings.

  • How to make the new version, I just installed as the old work that has stopped working?

    I used Thunderbird for many years and have always been very satisfied.

    A few days earlier, he has stopped working on my computer. I think that this was due to an update of AVG Free 2015. (When I restarted after the automatic update, Tbird and Chrome and Firefox broke everything. AVG has since been removed and replaced with Avast. Chrome and Firefox, both work very well after I installed the latest versions.) I took the opportunity to get the latest version of Tbird (I was 37) and installed it. TBird is OK, but the operation is a total disaster!

    He used to see me just like the user. Now I have to choose my Inbox by clicking, and then open it in a new tab. I could accept this pain if things worked OK. The first email that I click appears in the message pane. But I can't delete it unless I double click to open in a new tab! I can not get the following message to be displayed in the messages pane. It's used to work if I simply clicked on the message.

    How can I make Tbird work as he did? I used to love, now I hate it! Please help me before I dump Tbird and switch to Gmail!

A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Please close the program. This problem occurs only if Firefox is open during the installation, otherwise the installation is successful. Note: I have included a taskkill to 'firefox.exe' in my installation script to stop Firefox runs.

    There are new logic in Firefox 36 monitor to stop crashes while the Mozilla Crash Reporter can capture data. This could have the effect of killing her task, I'm not sure. Maybe you have to kill plugin - container.exe before firefox.exe? I'm not familiar with SCCM and it might have a more graceful way to close an application.

  • FDM has stopped working with firefox

    Free Download Manager has stopped working with firefox after I speedup firefox opening. (not after restart or update of firefox) Before that, I used FDM on firefox. I already try with restart firefox and follow-up of the implementation under the quiz "Windows Media or other plugins stopped working after Firefox update | Firefox Help", but none of them worked.

    When you say after you speed up Firefox, do you mean you used the reset feature? You can tell because Firefox will create a new 'Old Firefox Data' folder on your desktop when you reset.

    The Reset function deletes your extensions as part of the cleaning process. You probably need to reinstall FDM from its original source. Maybe the Addons site? https://addons.Mozilla.org/Firefox/
