• Qosmio G20-139 of freezing

  Hello

  I was wondering if anyone has had this problem. I have a Qosmio G20-139, which was purchased from Jan. 2006, in the last two weeks, it seems to freeze. I have to power it down, when I re turn on it does nothing.

  If I leave it for about 1/2 hour it will start and run normally again.

  Maybe overheating? Dust placed inside your laptop blocks the air flow and the laptop cannot be cooled properly.

• Qosmio G20 - 139 flashing indicator power DC only used

  Qosmio G20 139
  System does not boot, gives a flashing orange DC power indicator only.

  No other indicator.
  Seems to be a code. If I read gives 332
  Battery is fully charged and tried more than one power supply.

  Checked the voltage on the inputs MB seems OK
  Have you tried all the combinations of battery and network combinations but nothing changes.

  Hmm... looks like a hardware problem on the mobo...
  Check the memory sticks.
  Remove one and try to power the unit using a module only.
  You should check both with different combinations means you should check also the two memory slots.

  My computer laptop didn t start because of the defective module.
  However, if this does not help, then you will need contact a local technician because the guy could locate the defective part.
  But I think it could be a motherboard problem, which means that the new Council would be necessary and this can be very expensive.

  Hello world

  I am looking for a Qosmio G20-139. Anyone know where I can get a very good price? I'm hoping not to spend more than £1200.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Well, I found an information that this laptop costs about £1,400
  Check this site:
  http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/product_page.jsp?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=108723&Tosh ibaShop = false & retailer = true

  But in my opinion you should google a little and compare prices, because many online stores offer this laptop and price, the differences are a lot.

• Qosmio G20-139 - Ram upgrade question

  In prouction specifications said maximum extension 2048MB

  I can upgradeed 4 g or not? or only 2048 max.
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  If the manual indicates that only 2 GB are possible then you can move the RAM only to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB module)

  I thing the laptop supports the Intel 915 PM chipset and it supports 2 GB of RAM.

  See you soon

• Qosmio G20 - 139 problem - won't turn on no-help

  I had my Qosmio G20-139 since early 2006 and have had no problems with it so far.

  About a week ago I started having some blue screen error, I installed the latest driver updates etc and assumed that would cover all the problems. Today, however, my laptop goes off and I can't get it to power upward. The lights on the front, showing the power and battery etc, are lit, and when I press the power button it lights up usual blue, however, nothing else happens. No other light (eg. screen remote wireless, indicator hard disk etc.). The laptop seems to just unable to power on.

  I guess I wonder if there is a fix for this, or if I have to send the laptop.

  My main concern is that few of my files are backed up and I have a lot of photos and data, that I can't really afford to lose.

  Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Even if someone would guide me towards a solution to recover files.

  Thank you
  Stephanie

  Hey Buddy

  From your description of the laptop turns off automatically.
  Perhaps this was caused due to internal temperature high more often than the laptop goes off to prevent the equipment from damage

  I don't very well if you get the laptop working again if some of the material is too bad Mr. I mean if processor or motherboard are affected while a replacement could help solve this problem.

  In my opinion, the material should be checked by a technician of the ASP.

  With regard to your data on the disk HARD;
  Well, it might be possible to remove the portable computer HARD drive and connect it to another computer using an external HARD disk controller.
  Then you should be able to access the HARD disk and back up data.

  Hi I have a six month old Qosmio G20-139
  without warning I can't access my DVD player now. No disk will not work and the message: -.
  "D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error"

  I ran that the pre installed Toshiba diagnosis which confirms the failure
  I went through the process of the device without result Manager
  Any thoughts?

  Hello

  Have you tried to remove the drive from Device Manager?
  If this is not the case, try to do this and then restart the laptop.
  After restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again.
  Check if it helps.

• Qosmio G20-139 of the United Kingdom - TV tuner does not work in Libya

  Hello

  My name is m, k, sh I live in Libya.
  I bought Qosmio G20-139 until now it works normal but I would not use this pc to look at the possibility of using satellite channels. I get only the small screen in the screen of my pc.

  In the operating manual of the said (tv tuner may not only work in the country of purchase. means to the United Kingdom only)
  My equation, what can do to solve the broblem.

  Can I install any software for example or another TV tuner?
  The tv tuner in this pc, what they said is integrated.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I think that the UK tuner will not work in Libya due to different video standards. I m talking about different settings PAL and NTSC.

  In your case, it would be desirable to use an external USB DVB - T tuner (if DVB - T is available in Libya) that supports PAL/NTSC in Libya settings.

  I think you have to look at some stores for local laptop/computer and should ask a few merchants for details.

• Capacity of the hard disk on the Qosmio G20-139

  I recently bought the notebook of Toshiba Qosmio g20-139, announced as having an 80 GB hard drive. Check the properties of the drive C: I think capacity is 69.8 GB. And in the properties of the device, it gives the Volume 71547 MB (I presume it's 71,547 GB).

  Does anyone can ease my mind explaining to me why I have not been 'ripped off '?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I'm not 100% sure but I think this part of the HARD disk is not partitioned and it comes preinstalled Qosmioplayer. This player doesn't need all the space, but if recording on this drive is available, I presume that this registered program is also recorded on this unpartitioned part.

  Hello

  That s just to change the BIOS settings in the BIOS!
  I think that the BIOS settings are placed in the last page of the BIOS (3).

  Try setting the 1RAID-0 on the first HARD disk and the 2RAID-0 the second HARD disk.

  It worked well on my laptop.

  By the way; information on the RAID configuration found in the user manual.

  Have a nice day ;)

• Qosmio G20-139 digital TV. [TNT] Freezes

  Hi all
  Just had a G20-139... and I love it! BUT having a problem with Digital Tuner. The digital picture freezes for a few seconds at a time. and sometimes, he says that he has lost the signal. However I know that the signal is good. When you look at it with my normal [TNT] tv. There is a slight delay in the image received on the G20.
  The image quality on the G20 IS SUPERB.
  I have the latest version of the driver [1.02.1930]. Not tried the analog photos yet...

  I wonder if anyone has had the same problem and if it
  has all the answers!
  It's one thing to Windows? or the processer get too high workload. ????
  Everything on "MY TV" works very well and it would be fantastic if this problem could be solved.

  Thanks a lot for the imformative forum.
  see you soon

  Hello

  You are right; Qosmio G20 is portable really nice. But why are you sure that the signal is good (strong) 100%? Did you use another digital tuner to compare the signal reception?
  Did you use MCE or a Qosmio Player?
  Maybe the digital tuner really loses the signal.

  I found a really nice article on HDTV in Windows MCE:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/MCE/expert/HDTV.mspx
  There is a patch:

• Qosmio G20-139: use the laptop screen to play on the Xbox 360

  Hi I have a question about the monitor function with the G20-139,

  I have an xbox 360 and would like to know if there is a way to use laptops screen to play on the 360 in high definition or composite mode using the monitor function. With the laptop came a composite cable at one end and a sort of headphone 3.5 mm at the other.

  I read the manual about the case and it does not work.

  Any help would be appreciated thanks

  Hello

  The port monitor - where you can connect with the composite cable can be used to display video from your digital camcorder, video game or VCR on the internal LCD screen. It can be used as a line-in port to allow the connection of a stereo device for audio input.

  In my opinion, you also need this cable to connect the Xbox to the Qosmio with composite cable plug-in software component.

  Then to commence the Qosmio with the Monitor-in button that starts the Qosmio player.

  Good bye
