Hello

You see the Toshiba BIOS screen after turning on the laptop?
You can access the BIOS?

If you see something on the screen and access the BIOS, I would recommend load default settings here.

But, generally speaking, for the moment, it is difficult to say why this happens, so you should test step by step.

  • Qosmio G20-114 does not start

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio G20-114 that no longer starts. No display.

    It turns on, the fan starts and you can hear the movement of HARD drive, but there is no display (not even if I plug in an external monitor).

    It was Windows XP. All of a sudden stopped working for no apparent warning, no blue screen or the warning signs.

    When I turn on the laptop I get a few lights on the keyboard space. (The light above the icon of TV, two lights and the light above the icon for media player, the power button just below the arrows)

    I was surfing the internet all day for a solution and tried most of the workarounds proposed, for example; Take the battery and the charger out, leave for 10 minutes and then only replace the charger and try to switch on. Also; Remove a strip of RAM (and trade) and remove all the RAM. Still no luck, however.

    I had an internal beep of her, but only once, it was 3 Quick beeps. Nothing since.

    I'm willing to try any suggestion, although I like to keep the files on the HARD drive because of family photos and which do not.

    All suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    I think your problem is not how to save data to the HARD drive. You can remove the HARD drive and connect it to the other laptop using the 2.5 external HARD drive enclosure.
    HARD drive will be recognized as external device and you should have full access to all stored data.
    Do this if possible.

    On this virtual path it is not possible to provide an accurate diagnosis and to say with certainty what can be the problem, but I assume that the LCD is maybe defective.

    Start your laptop and wait a while. Connect your laptop to an external device, and then try to use the FN + F5 key combination. Just to see if you will be able to switch between mode of laptops LCD and external monitor.

  • Qosmio G40-108 does not start

    Hi Gang

    I hope that there is some good buddies out there that can save a window double glazing to be mullared by that lappy.
    I had (Qosmio G40-108 with 4 GB of RAM) since August 2007. Everything was fine until two weeks about where it kept crashing during the execution of a couple normal progs that I use.
    After reading several messages from buddies with similar problems, I think it might be the PCI express graphics. Is this good? I can swap out? Or advice, blaggs, ideas or suggestions are very welcome. :)

    * Do not forget: there is always someone worse off than you... *.

    What exactly happens?
    Your Qosmio freezes simply and you must turn off or switches off without any warning messages?

    Hello

    The failure of RAM could be the reason for this behavior of the laptop.
    Remove the RAM modules with good modules tested and check the functionality of the laptop.
    In the case of RAM isn t the troublemaker, the motherboard could be affected.

    Good luck and share your experience with us.

  • Satellite C660-108 does not start with 8 GB of RAM

    I bought 2 x 4 GB memory modules to upgrade memory up to 8 GB.
    With 8 GB installed, the laptop does not start, but he will start with 6 GB installed.
    Modules 4 GB 6 GB configuration and wood East of 1.8.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    According to the manual, this laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM.

    Then you should be able to use the 2 x 4 GB RAM modules

    I think that both modules are not compatible with each other and therefore cannot boot up the laptop.

    You should test the laptop with the help of other modules.

  • Qosmio G20 Tuner does not not in Jersey

    Dear support team

    I purchased a Qosmio G20 of the UK through PC World. I live in Jersey and planned to use the tuner of the TV here. As far as I know, in the United Kingdom, I thought that the tuner would work in the Channel Islands, however were not able to receive a signal. I really doubt that there is a specific tuner to the Channel Islands. Do you have more information about it?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I think it should work properly. I guess that TV standard is the same as in the UK. I have the best experience with cable TELEVISION and its connection to composite in the cable. Scan of the channels Qosmioplayer. Please let us know if it works.

  • Satellite C660-108 does not start if the USB Bluetooth dongle connected

    Hiya,

    I hope you could help me.

    I'm having a problem with my dongle bluetooth and satellite c660-108.
    It all works perfectly. It connects devices via bluetooth and I can do whatever I want.

    But then when I'm mobile stop and turn it on again it will go if the bluetooth dongle is always in the USB.

    I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with a black screen and a cursor flashing at the top left.
    I have to turn it off, remove the bluetooth dongle and then turn it back on.
    And then windows starts. After that, I put in bluetooth dongle, once again I want to work with her.

    It isn't a huge problem, but it is a bit annoying when I have to leave the bluetooth and put it back again to get the windows began.
    I'm running under win 8.1 but he already had with 8 victory.

    Anyone any ideas?

    > I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with a black screen and a cursor flashing at the top left.
    Especially the blinking cursor is displayed because the laptop can not find a boot device.

    It seems that the device cannot put on the HARD drive while the USB dongle is connected.
    I would recommend you check the boot order in the BIOS.

    Put the HARD drive in the first place and the USB boot last device.
    Save changes and check if it helps.

  • Qosmio G35-AV650 does not start after format

    Okay, so I downgraded/upgraded my computer back to XP from 7 a month ago.
    Yesterday, I went to the library for all my updates and whatnot that I neglected since the upgrade. When I turned on the computer in the library, it would not be loaded the office correctly and an error box open stating that it was impossible to recover the THotkey. It turns out that my feature key drivers took a dive. I've done everything I can to solve the problem. Nothing worked, I decided to reformat.

    Early upward the dinosaur this afternoon when the format is finally finished, it would not fully boot screen where you are asked which language you want to use, what time format, all of these bases. I tried to reboot several times, finally tried safe mode, even to reformat again, nothing works.

    Now, seeing as I was only reformat to XP in order to enter my card default sound drivers to see if they would work on 7 (the company that made my card was bought shortly before 7 was released and that they still need to make new drivers), I decided to say screw that it and any format the computer back to 7. When it loads everything from disk (disk? drive?), it goes to the screen asking what disk I want to install, it says that I have no disks on which I can install it.

    I came across this problem before, the first time that I put 7 on the computer. Since I have two hard drives, it needs the RAID drivers that connect the two. I downloaded several different, all for Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV650 RAID drivers, but it detects all the drivers. The way I do it is to put on a flash drive and tell the computer to get them from there. I do everything the same way I did before, but nothing works at all. I tried to go into the BIOS settings, but I have no idea what I could do.

    I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure out what I can do here, but I'm completely lost. Any ideas?

    You use a generic Windows 7 disk? Or a Toshiba Win7 upgrade disk?

    Basically, you need the drivers SATA F6 (INFs) on a USB Flash drive during the installation of Win7. The version of Vista should work fine in Win7.

    You can change the RAID settings in the BIOS to "JBOD". First, make sure you back up important data.

  • Qosmio G30-161 does not start - NTDLR "file is missing

    Hi all

    I have a G30-161 double HDD (in Raid 1) which no longer starts...
    He just gives the message "file NTDLR is missing" and is followed by a prompt to restart the computer in which the same error will appear again.

    I got this laptop for my son to fix (lucky me :(!)

    Things, I've looked at so far:

    -Check the BIOS to see if the disks are configured properly - BIOS indicates the two hard drives installed, online and in RAID 1
    -J' had an installation of Windows XP by hand disc then tried to see if it would boot from a CD. He started on the CD ok, but the process Windows Recovery Console/install said he couldn't find any hard drives. Find an Acronis True Image boot disk (using linux I think), once again the started program end, but don't have it no hard drives installed.
    - So with no HD not reports I took one for a test. With disk 2 removed, in an attempt to start the system reports "RAID 1 is GRADIENT" then follows with "NTDLR file is missing. So this tells me that SW RAID working probably and he knows that a HD has been removed.
    All the patches I've read on the PC forums involve the use of the XP Recovery CD or some, but it won't work because the system thinks there are no disc when it starts. We have no ' have a Toshiba Recovery disk for the machine.

    Someone at - he saw the problem above, knows a fix?
    Can I purchase a G30-161 recovery CD anywhere?

    Any help appreciated. ...

  • After 1 GB memory upgrade Qosmio G10 - 133 does not start

    Try to pass 512 MB with memory Kingston KTT3311 / 1 G 1512 MB

    I put the new Kingston 1 GB in the top slot of spare. When I rebooted the machine, the fan has come and the indicator light on the front came. But it seemed no not no start-up process at all and the screen remains blank. After a while the fan is stopped and the machine went into 'stop' mode I tried once more with the same result.

    I then pulled out the new 1 GB Kingston memory, leaving the memory of old as he was, and the reboot of the machine as usual with no message or error. I thought that the machine would automatically pick up the memory of mew and reconfigure itself.

    Any ideas on what could be wrong.

    Yes, the laptop and the BIOS should automatically pickup the new module of memory installed. Try to enter the BIOS and check if the module has been recognized and safe the BIOS settings.

    But perhaps you are using a bad?

    I think you should try the recommended Toshiba the memory module. In this case, you can be sure that it will work, and you are on the safe side to 100%.

  • Qosmio G20 does not start

    Hello

    Something is happening with my Qosmio G20.
    Sometimes when I connect the plug to the computer the DC IN indicator flashes orange and the pc does not start.
    A few hours later I try again and now DC IN indicator shows blue and I can boot my pc and I normally work for hours.
    It's very strange. It happens regularly. A few days shows blue and works very well and some other orange flashes of days and I can't work and I have to keep trying to connect and disconnect until it flashes blue to put on.

    Wouldn't be DC Power Charger malfunction? I've already ordered another of DC power charger to confirm, but my intuition says that is not the problem of the charger.
    I remember the 1st time that never happen... I was charging my iPod through my Qosmio and out of the House and let it load it. When I arrived home, the laptop power light flashes orange and I thought it was in hibernation mode. But after that time it started to happen.
    Before trying the new charger and reflections before sending it to the dealer?

    Thank you

    This flashing provides an error code which means that an error has been detected on the motherboard.
    It is difficult to say what could be possibly wrong power supply to electronic malfunction
    But this is only my personal opinion

    You should certainly contact someone who could verify the material and can run diagnostics tests

    Hello

    It looks like your Qosmio F750-03W PQF75C 03W001 is a Canadian model of Toshiba that I found it here:
    http://support.Toshiba.ca/support/ISG/Center/en/index.asp?S1=notebook&S2=Qosmio&S3=F750&S4=PQF75C-03W001

    First you need to update the BIOS with the latest version (at this time, it seems that BIOS 2.0 is the most recent).
    Also update the
    nVidia Display Driver version 8.17.12.9039
    Super-D IC Driver version 1.0.1613.809
    Toshiba Blu - ray Disc Player version 1.0.1.299
    as mentioned here http://support.toshiba.ca/support/isg/tsb/en/view.asp?docid=TSB001633

    If stereo 3D effects are not well use X-tune to calibrate it.
    It is recommended to use this utility to optimize the 3D stereo effects when you use the 3D without glasses for the first time or to be dissatisfied by the 3D effects.

    To use the X-Tune utility, follow the steps below:
    1. Select the language mode and optimization, and then click OK. There are three optimization modes: primary, advanced and professional. You can choose according to your own experience.
    2 sitting about 60 cm from your computer, click Start to continue.
    3. follow the onscreen instructions on each step.
    4. use the left or right side of the keyboard arrow key to adjust the effect. When you are satisfied with the effect, click on enter and then an information window appears on the screen. Press the keyboard ESC key to cancel the optimization procedure.
    5. click on Finish to close the X-Tune utility.

    You said that your face recognition does not work correctly so uninstall this software. This also with the software/driver for webcam. Once these two tools has been uninstalled, clean the registry with CCleaner and install these two tools using the most recent version.
    Restart and start X-Tune to calibrate the 3D effects.

    In the doc of Toshiba (link above), you can find this notice:

  • Re: Computer laptop Qosmio F15 does not start when the Start button / stop is pressed

    My Toshiba Qosmio f15-av201 does not turn when you push the power button, even if the lights of ac adapter & battery are both on (on). Indeed, the yellow light that is supposed to turn on the power button when the laptop is turned off does not appear. In addition, there is no sign that shows the laptop tries to start when the button is pressed, not even a peep. The laptop was recently dismantled (open) to clean the fans, who made the famous monstrous noise which toshiba qosmios are apparently well known for.
    Everything seems to be connected correctly in its correct place. Nothing seems to be damaged. So, I have no idea where I can get out of here. Pending issue.
