Qosmio G20-127: failure to screen after closing the lid on Vista

Hello

I have a Qosmio G20-127 and I recently installed Vista Ultimate (32 bit). I managed to put everything in its place (except the magic buttons, but the drivers are not on yet), but I have a problem that makes me seriously reconsider coming back to XP MCE.

When I close the lid of my computer, the screen turns off of course, but when I open again, it does not turn, but it stays black. And I can't turn it on again no matter what. I have to turn off the entire computer and it is quite unrealistic.

Funny is that after a restart for about 20-30 minutes, I can open and close the lid normally, but the same problem occurs after a bit more time to work on the computer.
The problem persists even though I disabled everything remotely connected to the closing of the cover.

Does anyone have a solution?

Hello English

Try you update the BIOS on the VISTA OS?

I can imagine you will always find something new and unusual, but please note that Vista is not supported by the OS for Qosmio G20 (Vista drivers are not available on the Toshiba download page) and you can expect that from time to time, you will discover new disturbing behavior.

I recommend you to install and configure Vista as described in the topic of s Francisco, configure OS for your needs, and be happy if you use Vista without any serious problems. In my opinion, for OS installation and configuration software Qosmio is Toshiba laptop more complicated template, and you will never be able to configure it as a supported and preinstalled WXP MCE. Commands supported are tested and bugs are fixed, but not with Vista on Qosmio G20.

Sorry my friend. Sounds stupid, but maybe that's just the truth. By the way: I like Qosmio G20. Maybe I'll buy one if the price is Ok.

Good bye

  • Satellite L10-232: black screen after closing the lid.

    Hello

    I moved my laptop (satellite L10-232) in another room, it wasn't stop (just closed it). When I opened it there was nothing on the screen and the battery is not empty (processor still does some things). Anyone know how I can fix this problem?

    Thank you

    Easy...
    PowerManagement is weaker and less stable features on any laptop. (especially with the defective batteries).
    NEVER try to count on the home screen etc. It will work time 999 and 1000 it don't.
    Now, you're done with a laptop computer hanging.
    The ways:
    1. the easy way:
    -push the power button and keep your finger on it for 10 seconds. (5 is enough, 10 to be sure)
    -remove the battery
    -plugin powercable
    -push the powerbutton

    2. the less gentle way:
    -remove the power cable
    -Remove the battery
    -wait 24 hours
    -Insert the power cable
    -push the power button

    3. the hard way: make sure THAT YOUR HARD DISK IS NOT PASSWORD PROTECTED, to OTHER YOU LOOSE YOUR DATA.
    trying to understand hat is the startup key sequence to reset the BIOS at startup. (it should be described in your manual somewhere)

    4. the hardest way:! ONLY BY A PROFESSIONAL!
    IF MAKE SURE THAT YOUR DISK IS NOT PROTECTED BY WORD, OTHERWISE YOU LOSE YOUR DATA.
    The laptop must be open and all batteries must be removed. All the capacitors must be emptied (leaving a laptop without the battery for 72 h). Then turn on
    the laptop.

    Please note that I can't be held responsible for any damage or loss of data under any circumstances.

  • Satellite L500 - external screen display after closing the lid?

    Hello
    I use the Satellite L500 - 120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7, the laptop has a function very uncomfortable, when I applied an external display.
    When I closed the lid of my laptop, Office was shown on my display (with the native resolution of the external display) external, so I had not to
    change anything on the control panel. In Windows 7, Miss me this feature. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there is no parameters, which fits
    with the previous ones. I can duplicate the screen in order to see my desktop screen on my external screen, but with the resolution of 1366 x 768 laptop.
    If I extend the views, then there is only the background image to the external screen, but this time with the native resolution.

    So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that I closed the lid, and the screen should be shown on my external screen?
    Or should I install applications Toshiba, that I had before, who visited account this function?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    I m not a Windows 7 user because I want to wait until it will be released official, but I hope that I can help you a bit:

    First of all in power management, you can choose the action that happens if you close the lid (g. e. sleep, close, etc.). This action must be disabled because otherwise the laptop shuts down or something else.

    So I think that you need to install the display driver for your laptop. You can try the Vista driver because most of them are working on Windows 7.
    Then you should be able to define the correct screen resolution for external monitor.

    A working display driver is important to the clone or extends monitors to verify this!

  • Tecra 9100: Sleep Mode is no longer enabled after closing the lid

    Hello

    First post here and not the smartest when it comes to computer skills...

    Have a Tecra 9100 about 4 years old, under XP Pro SP2.

    last 3 days whenever I close the lid of the laptop it won't STAND BY mode me leaving no option but to propel to the top and I get "SUMMARY FAILURE PRESS ANY KEY."... »

    I changed any settings whatsover and since then, I tried to access the Power Saver icon in Control Panel, but when I click on it nothing happens. I then click on a few of the Control Panel Power Options and I get the message "...". "a Microsoft power options and use the Toshiba power Saver saver" which obviously I can't access either!

    Is there any reason why closing the lid of my laptop is no longer 'Stand by' mode, basically going in OFF format only, it became a major drawback and don't know where to turn to.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Reading your post I guess windows on own power options and doesn t use Toshiba power saver power profiles.

    Generally, the issue should be resolved by switch again to the Toshiba power saver in the-> power options control panel! But your announcement about turning the power on, it is not possible! It s very strange?  :|

    In this case, I recommend to remove the Toshiba installation energy saver. This can be done in the Add & Remove programs.

    So finally, check out the following steps:
    Remove the energy saver, restart the laptop, reinstall the Toshiba Common modules, reboot the laptop and install again the energy saver.

    After this procedure, the splash screen should work! By the way; the hibernation mode is disabled by default. If you want to use the Hibernate mode, you will need to enable it first!

  • Equium A60-692 restarts after closing the lid

    More annoying, the only thing I can do is hold the power button to turn off & on again. Is there a key combination should I put pressure to bring its edge form after you have closed the lid, or is it a fault?

    Thank you

    Usually when the size of the memory changes, the system can recover.

    Remove the battery and the AC adapter / CC, and then remove one of the memory Modules and power on.

  • Windows error recovery received CONSTANTLY after closing the lid

    Windows is not shut down successfully.  If it was because of the system does not, or if the system was stopped down to protect data, you might be ale to recover by choosing one of the Safe Mode configurations from the menu below:

    Start Windows normally

    What is the problem and how can I fix this so it doesn't happen or is this normal with Vista.

    Hi SouthernDixieCowgirl,

    This would happen if the driver graphics card on the computer is damaged or needs to be updated.

    You will need to update the drivers to display on the computer card by visiting the manufacturer of the card or the computer manufacturer's website and check if it works.

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

     

    Also, make sure that you install drivers chipset update by contacting the manufacturer of the computer.

    I hope this helps!

  • Qosmio G20-127: keys Fn & shortcut keys do not work with Vista RC1

    This problem is really annoying me. Shortcut keys (play, pause, forward, record, brightness), or Fn keys work since I installed windows vista RC1.
    I need to find a solution to this problem. If someone did experience please provide me with your comments.

    Also the ConfigFree seems to be incompatible with Windows Vista, if someone knows a thing or two, I would be very grateful

    Hi Shaker

    There is no trick or two!
    Do you know that the Windows Vista RC1 is not a version of the official end and the RC1 version contains about 1500 bugs!

    In addition, to use the Toshiba features such as the FN buttons or shortcut keys you need drivers Toshiba. BUT you won't find not all Toshiba Windows Vista drivers at this time.

    Why? Because Windows Vista is not official on the market. So if you want to use the Vista at the moment on your laptop, you will need to use it without the Toshiba options.

    But I m sure you will get the Toshiba drivers If Windows Vista has been fully developed and official to buy.

  • Satellite L300-1FS - Wireless reconnect after closing the lid

    Hello

    My 2 month old son Toshiba laptop works very well in many ways, but an annoying problem, is that if we close the lid when you open it again it doesn't re connect to our router. If I click on the network connection, it just says: there is no everything!

    Sometimes the switching market re wireless switch will connect there, but more often than not, it's a reboot, which is annoying.

    Proves that the wireless card works but it would be nice to not have him harass me every time it does not connect.

    All ideas welcome.

    Hello

    First a question: what exactly happens if you close the lid?
    This laptop stops, or goes to stand-by or extended sleep?

    However, in your case, I would try to update the driver WLAN and the BIOS. Check the Toshiba website for updates:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    It would be interesting to know what operating system you have and if you are running the factory settings or you have installed another OS?

    A friend told Satellite L300 and he is very satisfied and can t notice any problem. :)

  • Problems with colors on the screen after installing the new motherboard Vista

    Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit wrong colors.  Monitor works fine.  If a monitor has checked and all colors were there.  Had installed a new motherboard.  Worked well for fivedays then the colors red and green disappeared again.

    * original title - want to get the correct colors on my display/ecran.*

    You don't say where the motherboard has come: the Mamufacturer of the computer, or that you buy yourself.

    Take the correct option:

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/motherboard > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    See you soon.
