• Qosmio G40 - 10Z - possible CPU upgrade?

  What processor can I put my Qosmio G40 - 10Z? I couldn't find a list and the motherboard is a "motherboard Toshiba" without a template or similar.
  I would like to change to a better processor, a quadcore would be well, is - it possible?

  My Windows 7 tells me to change the battery, but the battery is ok. Google says its due to Windows and could be solved by the BIOS updated. I have the newest
  Official home page. There is no latest BIOS available?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I doubt that the CPU upgrade would be possible. You should read this article:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  This error message is it exactly that you get Windows 7? Normally you get only a low battery notification, you need to Exchange or connect the power supply.

  laptop was purchased in Dubai/Emirates and I live in Malta

  These are the cables >

  Now for my question (s):
  1 which of these cables do I need? Im just trying to figure out how to get my satellite tv or digital cable to work on my laptop.
  2 antenna adapter (see picture) is not for coaxial cable, what can I do?
  3 I did WINDVR more due to the upgrade of vista, Media Center Gets the job done but I don't know what to do... This guide has confused me even more > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/using/setup/settop.mspx

  Please, anything that can help is appreciated!

  Hi ismael,.
  I'll try to help with that, but it's a long way to the road...
  I don't know what Tv system is used to Malta (Pal)?

  The best way to set up your TV's with Media Center 2005 edition.
  Cables:
  Check the back of your cable TV installation box and find the composite or SVHS output. If you have only the composite, you can use the composite cable of the posted image. If your TV decoder has the SVHS, so you should use, to the better image than composite. You must obtain a SVHS cable for this.
  Look for the audio output rca, too. Mix with the composite cable for the audio Qosmio.

  But you must have:
  1 control cable IR, for media center 2005 configuration as well as your TV decoder. It is cable connected to the remote sensor (see fact sheet on the back).

  2 sensor for your remote control and configure it with the remote control of your TV decoder. In this way, you can control the receiver cable channels, using the remote control for your Qosmio G20 media center edition.
  Recovery: you can change the channels on your TV decoder using the qosmio remote control.

  3. remote control for you media Center 2005, one that came with your Qosmio g20.

  Open the TV on Media Center 2005 configuration and follow all the steps required for installation.
  You must follow the guide, as is explained in the image you posted:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/using/Setup/SetTop.mspx

  If you have all these cables, you can use the Qosmio player to watch TV. It is not tied to windows OS.
  Here, simply connect the coaxial cable and let the Qosmio player search for available channels in your area. Qosmio player has the opportunity to set the colour TV system in any part of the world. all NTSC regions in all PAL regions.
  If you have the remote control for your Qosmio, TV keys will work directly with the Qosmio remote sensor on board, without needing the external sensor of Microsoft.

  I hope this helps you

• Qosmio G20 102: problem RAID the installation of windows xp media center

  First of all I did not the raid driver for my qosmio. I tried the RAID of Qosmio G20, another pilot but when it reached the stage when I ask windows to format the C driver it shows me an error. It is said that there is an error in the KR10N file and it stops there.
  Please help me and thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the Qosmio G20 102 belongs to the series of PQG20E.
  Research on the European driver Toshiba page I found the RAID for Windows XP MCE driver v1.03.0008 (can also be used with XP Pro).

  You will need an external USB FDD to include this driver in the operating system.
  But note; After installing the RAID driver you shouldn't t format the HARD disk or create a new partition, because that will remove the RAID driver from the HARD disk and installing the OS fails!

  I hope I could help you would also appreciate a feedback ;)
  Best regards

  I realized there are a little better model, which is the L450D-128, and it has a dual core processor.

  Laptops are identical then it would be possible.

• Qosmio G20 - RAM and GDD upgrade advice needed

  Hi all

  I have decided to try to give my old g20 renewed life with a few updates, but could do with a few tips before you start to throw money at it.
  The first and most obvious update will install two sticks of 1 GB memory and I was thinking about crossing the old hard disk of 80 GB 5400 RPM to something big and I hope more quickly as a 320 GB 7200 RPM, any advice on this would be appreciated because I don't know if this is possible.

  I was also wondering if the cpu can be upgraded and if someone knew were I could get a new mine cpu fan has become noisy.

  Thanks for you time all tips, ideas and input would be much appreciated.

  2 x 1 GB RAM will be fine. You must use the RAM that has the same speed and timings of CASE/RAS similar as the original of the RAM. Avoid the "Value RAM."

  With respect to the HARD disk, a 120 GB should certainly work, but 320 GB * could * be too large depending on what the Chipset and BIOS can support. Maybe an other G20 owner here it can confirm works, or search the Qosmio for "HARD drive" section

  With respect to the processor, you must be careful when upgrading it. Look at the other models of the G20 and determine what the CPU the fastest they have. This way you can almost guarantee it will work properly.
  If you install a faster processor is faster than what is available in the range of the G20, may not be detected correctly and the cooling fan isn't able to manage the production of heat, causing the laptop overheats.
  Also, I think that a special utility must be run to calibrate the CPU. In my view, that the ASP have access to this utility. The CPU can run very slowly if this utility is not running.

  An FSL may replace the noisy fans for you and remove any accumulation of dust at the same time.

• Qosmio G20 - 108 - want to upgrade the graphics card

  Hiya,

  I've got a g20-108 and I really want to spend the nvidia card to something with a little more umph. I would just get a new laptop, but I like the machine, and I think that its worth the hassle. I was looking at the nvidia geforce go 6800 ultra 256 MB card but was not sure it was compatible. If any1 knows of a card that would be better or if it can be please let me no

  Cheers for any info

  Hi skimming_skinner,

  The problem is that this graphics card is not extendable part. That means t, you can exchange it with another model because it s fixed/soldered to the motherboard and nontradable.

• Qosmio G20 - 102 Shutting down unexpectedly

  Hello
  I've known a lot of problems with my computer laptop qosmio, this all started in the summer 2004, since then ive sent several times to the dealer of Toshiba to Malta, taho. And they said it worked perfectly well when they tested. Quite strange, indeed.
  I remembered about it since his stupid enough to let a such good laptop to lose a few days ago.
  So now, on the issue.
  A small prgram called thotkey.exe appears in my taskbar, even if no real window opens. And after that, I have about 2 seconds before my screen blanks out and stops the pc.
  I thought to sell the laptop several times, but no one wants to buy it because of its problems.

  And what happens if you use a supplied recovery media and install new OS (factory settings)? This is the problem?
