Qosmio G20-120: not able to watch DVDs

• Qosmio G20 is not able to read a cd after burning

  Hello

  I need help please.

  My laptop just came back from the center of toshiba. The problem is, that I can burn a cd, but after I reinsert the laptop is not able to read. It always says E: / is not accessible incorrect function. On another pc, the cd can be read perfectly. Toshoba Center says it's a software problem and we should use the recovery disc. We did this, but it's always the same.
  Please can someone help?

  Thank you

  Read your ad I didn't understand what the service does exactly, but it's really odd if this occurs after the installation of clean operating system with recovery DVDs.

  Have you installed an additional burning software?
  Have you tried burning different things on different blank media?

  Sorry, but it is not possible to give a precise answer. Tell us a little more of this.

  As far as I know the audio internal Microphone is not available on the Qosmio G20-120.
  You can connect an external microphone to a microphone which is placed on the left side of the device.

• Gray glittering color screen on Qosmio G20-120

  Hello
  I have a problem very confusing with my new Qosmio G20 - 120.
  I can see vague and wink on my screen when the brightness is set to 2 or 3 levels under the maximum, and the background of the display is set to dark grey (or other color non-black)
  This effect disappears when the brightness of the display is set up, but you know, I can't work with the maximum brightness all the time, because my eyes get tired very quickly in this case, especially in the evening.
  I saw the other G - Series 17 "notebooks and noticed the same problem.
  Is it possible hardware problem or this is common for Qosmio 17 "poster?

  Hello

  I never heard the show. The fact is that you can change the brightness of the screen on many laptops Toshiba, but I've never heard or seen of wave or nod to the screen. I m not sure if it s only your vision or it s a really a display error (FL-UPS).
  If you are not sure of the fault, then take the unit to your local dealer or contact the service of Toshiba.

  I have a problem with the DVD writer:

  Since I formatted (and then reinstall with the restore CD that was with the computer at the beginning), I am not able to burn DVDs!

  How can I do to get that!

  And also, it's weird, instead of showing a DVD player, there are 2: one for the CD, a DVD, when it's the same thing...

• How to install linux on Qosmio G20-120

  Hi all.
  I tried to install some linux distro in a new qosmio g20. Only knoppix 3.8 and 4.0 CentOS have some chance to install, the other distributions can´t recognize the hd or dvd (on Ubuntu), but the distributions that have installed the Hd become unstable, can´t stop, if I do because the hd is not collapsed shutdown, can´t, etc... Someone tried to do? Any chance to install linux on this notebook?
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It's always a problem with Linux as the OS is not supported by Toshiba. In this case, you're on your own.

• Qosmio G20 - could not get the video to display on the LCD screen

  I have a laptop Toshiba Qosmio G20, running Windows XP MCE.

  The DVD player on board isn't sounds very well so I thought I would plug an external DVD drive to expand its use. After a lot of internet research, I finally found how to do this. Here's my setup.

  Using the monitor port I used the adapter 3 RCA jacks. (There is no S-video on the DVD drive and an adapter did not work). I finally discovered that in order to get the image on the screen, I have to use Fn + 4. Now, here's where I'm having the problem. I can't get the video to display on my external LCD. FN + 5 didn't do. The monitor is an I - inc AH191D and is connected by VGA cable. There is no driver other than the one for the VISTA operating system... That is why it is not anywhere in the Device Manager.
  Here are the settings I use in order to have all that shows on my desk, shows on the monitor.

  In Control Panel open to the screen. Properties
  Number chosen 1 - multiple monitors GeForce Go6600 video card...
  Advanced under
  the GeForce G06600 tab,
  nViewDisplay Mode: clone 1 a 1 b
  The main screen: digital flat screen
  Secondary display: AH191

  I also tried using the properties of controls on Toshiba. He says under TV output TV output but gives options of the program, but I don't know what I would use. Any ideas out there?

  Wait I'm confused, if you try to send the output of your external DVD drive in the laptop, and then display the image on an external monitor attached to laptop?

  If you use the DVD player on your laptop, it will be good quality S-video as a signal of low resolution.

  Is there something wrong with the DVD player?

  If it's just the DVD software you don't like, you can download other DVD players. PowerDVD is excellent, its better than WinDVD and other players in my opinion.

• Qosmio G20: Questions on MCE Recovery CD/DVD

  A few months back, I bought this laptop Qosmio G20. It s cool. I live in Asia where media center edition is not launched with this series. I have a Windows XP home edition with this laptop. Can someone tell me if it is possible for me to format this OS and install MCE on this laptop? And where I could get a recovery cd/dvd edition of Media Center? What is the procedure to install Media Center Edition of restore cd if I get a? And someone wants to share their media center edition cd recovery with me would be great.

  pls contact me on this email address [email protected]

  Thank you very much (:)

  Hello Anand

  AFAIK only devices with tuner TV have installed MCE and you can get the MCE OS recovery CD if you bought it with the Toshiba unit. If your laptop comes with Windows XP Home you can only get this form of recovery CD service partner. However, you can use the original cd of Microsoft Windows MCE. Then you can try to download all of the necessary drivers from the Toshiba site.

• Qosmio G20-120: 1080 p HD video question - photo stucks for 1-2 seconds

  Hi guys,.
  I have problems with playback of 1080 p HD progressive video on my G20-120. Photo gets stuck for 1-2 seconds every 5-7 seconds. Sound has no problem.
  I try to close all programs and applications that are running, but again it gets stuck. These help anyone make you think:

  1 - upgrade 1 GB RAM to 2 GB
  2-overclocking either the CPU or the video card (I don't know if its possible at all) if so how do you?
  3. change the 128 MB 256 MB video card (again once I'm not sure if it can be changed)

  Thank you very much.

• JBOD Qosmio G20 - could not initialize the disk of 320 GB - 1RAID-0

  Hello, comrades Toshiba users,
  at first, I apologize if this question has already been answered, but I did not find the answer to my problem.

  One of my colleagues has a Toshiba Qosmio G20 with two 80 GB drives. Big 17-inch "surf-board-sized" computers laptops are not my cup of tea, but the Qosmio him quite well served.
  We tried to upgrade the two hard drives of aging in his laptop. With considerable experience in replacing the readers of the laptop, I didn't expect no particular surprise, but I was wrong.

  We tried to replace the original disks
  Bay 1: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, System
  2: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, data, RAID off the coast of the Bay

  with the new
  Bay 1: 320 GB WD Scorpio
  WD Scorpio 2: 320 GB drive Bay.

  The BIOS of the G20 is v1.30, the latest version. It recognizes new readers-, but one of the new marking as 1RAID-0 disks fails. After trying to "initialize" the 320 GB drive in bay 1 as 1RAID-0, on the third page of the G20 of BIOS, there is a disk activity, but the drive remains in JBOD mode.

  Unable to mark the drive of 320 GB 1RAID-0, I am unable to use the 320 GB drive as a system disk.

  If the original system drive is cloned on a new 320 GB drive, that it does not start. Starting XP * begins * but subsequently fails with STOP 0x7B - in other words, the infamous blue screen INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE when the Toshiba RAID driver is loaded during Windows startup.
  Plain vanilla CD, of course with slipstreamed windows installation driver Toshiba, impossible rest. Installing Windows don't "see" drive in Bay 2.

  When the drive system is put in the high Bay and G20 is started from it, Windows XP starts correctly. The drive in Bay 1 is accessable from Windows, however, remains offline in the RAID from Toshiba console. If the start player in Bay 2 is not an option, too.

  A similar problem, where the owner could not install a system of 200 GB drive is described here
  Link: http://tinyurl.com/38wokw
  The owner, however managed to install a 100 GB drive and we have resorted to 80 GB of disk as a system disk and the only player upgrade in Bay 2 to 320 GB.

  I understand what happens when the disk is 'initialized' in the BIOS. Only brands of BIOS of Toshiba disk 1RAID-0, and it breaks down on 320 GB drive. I will refrain from expressing my opinion on this practice.

  My question is - if it is possible, how * manually * mark the drive of 320 GB 1RAID-0?
  Using a hex editor, dd or something similar is no problem. A partial answer would also know the disc more large size which * can * be marked with success under the name of 1RAID-0 at BIOS G20.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure, what could be wrong by presumably 320 HARD drive size might be too big!
  How about the 100 GB or 120 GB hard drives?

  I think you should consider it because usually most of the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and therefore not all sizes are supported.

  But note; using the configuration of 1RAID-0 (striping), met by the operating system size is twice more only if the smaller of the two HARD drives in RAID configuration. Using RAID-0, all data on both disks will be lost, even if it is training of two disks fails.

• Internal TV tuner for the Qosmio G20 does not work

  I have a qosmio G20 and the built in TV does not work, I reinstalled the driver and the program windvr 5 but no response.
  Whenever I start the program, I can't use the installer.
  Please can someone help me?

  Hello

  Qosmio G20 was delivered with Windows MCE.
  You can also use the Media Center Microsoft watch TV on the laptop!

  Please check if the built-in TV tuner works with MCE. If so, there is nothing wrong with the tuner or the drivers!

• 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

• Qosmio G20 is not Compatible Vista

  Vista is not compatible with the Qosmio G20, despite what was said in previous comments.

  I got in touch with support Tech from Toshiba, Microsoft and my ISP. As trying to install it, even if it has installed, no component of Toshiba worked and my network/internet access does not work either. Technical support Toshiba said that since they advertise portable computers that are 'vista ready', this therefore translates by made of others, all other portable non supported. I hope you can learn from my mistakes I have proceed to wipe my data and reinstall XP.

  If you're happy with Windows XP Home edition, I strongly suggest to stay with her.
