• Strange noises coming from the D command

  I bought a Toshiba computer and installed the program, the laptop produces a strange noise coming from the drive D as given that any departure or visit regularly. This happens like every 15 min or 20 min. Is this not a major problem. I just bought the laptop 3 days ago can I change my computer by another?

  I've had in the past a laptop making the same noise and the D drive stop working in 1 year

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  Which drive D mean? The STRANGE internal or second partition?

  Here he s a user to user forum and it is difficult to say if this is normal or not without hearing it. If in doubt, you should contact an authorized service provider. They can give you an official response on this behavior.

  In addition if your laptop is only 3 days old he should t be a problem to swap it with another.

• SatelliteA200 - 23 k - strange noise coming from the fan area

  I have my model A200-23 laptop Toshiba PSAE6E for 1.5 years and I recently returned from service.
  I sent there due to a nonfunctional key.

  All right, they changed the keyboard... but since I found, I have noticed some strange noises coming from the fan area...

  The sound is not so strong, but it's pretty boring.
  I cleaned using compressed air, but the sound has not disappeared.
  It is still under warranty, but I don't think they would do something against this noise.

  The laptop works very well, it is not overheating or something, but I cannot get used to the noise.
  Should Whatd I do?

  Hello

  Hard to say what noise would that be
  But if the laptop was removed by a technician of the ASP in the past, then you should get in touch with the same technicians again and have to explain your situation!
  A screw has perhaps forgotten who knows
  I think that the technician should take a new look on this laptop

  I wouldn't recommend open and disassemble the laptop yourself because you could void the warranty

• Strange noise coming from the fan on Satellite P100

  My Satellite P100 just makes a noise like a seriously heavy drill. Nothing else happened significantly so I turned off immediately and left for an hour or so overheating had the broken fan.
  Now back on and everything seems fine, but I'm worried. Is there something that can explain this? I got 5 interviews next week for which I use the laptop to prepare a presentation and I do not want to fail on me at the last minute...

  Any help much appreciated.

  Hello

  that could be an object (something really little) is/was blocked in your FAN and is now gone. If this would be a problem of turnover so the fan would still some strange noises.

  I suggest you do the following: use your machine as usual and if noise appears again then ask a technician to clean the fan/ventilation system. I Don t think it s some malfunction of the equipment.

  Good bye

• Qosmio G20-114: what are the features of hard drive?

  I just deleted one of my harddrives to my G20 114 so that I can work on my data while my laptop was being repaired.

  My plan was to put in a case of hard drve 2.5 "usb. I was also going to use a spare hard drive 100 GB I need to act as a backup of the operating system drive.

  However, it seems that the arrangemnt pins on the drive, I removed from my Qosmio is different from what I'm used to and it does not seem to hold in the external box. I guess also for this reason that the spare drive I used to fit into the Qosmio. I guess I must be missing something as this may not be the case here. They use some sort of different player in these machines or have I forgot something obvious?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  AFAIK the Qosmio G20 was delivered with S - ATA drives.
  The HARD drive is fixed by 4 screws on the HARD drive carrier.
  Did you remove this media from HARD disk?
  This is perhaps a question why the HARD drive does not fit into the case.

• Drivers of WIDCOMM 5.0.1.1200 Qosmio G20-127

  Is it possible to install software drivers Widcomm Bluetooth on Qosmio G20-127? I want to use them instead of Toshiba and Microsoft Bluetooth stacks. I modified the btwusb.inf file in Widcomm 5.0.1.1200 with my own PID and VID (taken from the Toshiba inf file) but I'm unable to install the drivers again.

  Hi Alex

  You will be very happy if someone can give you a correct and precise response to this topic. As you know Toshiba doesn't support and test some third part software.

• 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.

  You can download are all necessary drivers, tools and utilities and you can use if you decide to install the clean version of Windows XP Home edition.
  Problem is that this Qosmio is old enough and I don t think you will be able to order the new DVD of recovery for her.

  What you can try is to contact Toshiba nearest service and ask if they can get a Cie for you.
