• Integrated digital televisions Qosmio G20 156

  My husband has a Qosmio G20 156.
  Can someone tell me if there is available on this model digital TV reception. I hope to get a USB DVB - T for father's day, but looking at the specifications, it indicates that it has integrated digital capabilities.
  I am sure however if his machine didn't and then we would have already plugged!

  Hello

  It is hard to believe that the Qosmio G20 may have some problems with the saving screen graphics and slower running.

  In any case try check the energy saving settings and the use of the processor to maximum power. Check also running a process in the Task Manager and stop all unnecessary processes running. Don't forget that antivir application doesn t do any disk HARD analysis in the background.

• New driver for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed

  Hello

  There are new drivers for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed.

  Right now, it's Nvidia Video 169,25 version of the driver for Windows Vista.
  No blue screen after installing this driver, at all.
  I think that this new driver will solve the following problem:

  * Power failure screen after you have closed the lid on Vista *.

  You can try it, remembering that the installation must be handwritten. And you must choose the graphics card Nvidia Geforce 6600, during installation.

• Qosmio G20 156 - no sound

  Hello

  I have a little trouble with my g20-156.
  He had ceased to find wireless networks, whereas it was need a bit of cleaning up anyway, I restored it back to factory default settings.
  The good news is that the wireless problem is now resolved - the bad news is that I have no sound!

  I have checked all the settings in the audio and audio menus and you don't see anything obvious.
  There is a "dumb" light next to the volume knob that is continuously on.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, because it drives me crazy!

  Thank you

  > There is a 'silent' light next to the volume knob that is continuously on.
  This means that the sound is muted.
  You should go to control panel-> sound control and should check the tabs there.
  In one of the tabs, you will find an option called turn off the sound.
  Do not forget that it is unchecked (mute is not activated.)

  Hello

  I just purchased a Qosmio G20 and it come with Window Vista Ultimate Edition, but I don't want Vista. I tried to install Windows XP Home edition, but because it is a lower version, I need to reformat my hard drive.

  There is my problem: first I boot CD of Windows XP Home edition to install, after that I select to reformat the laptop but it says I have no hard drive and reboot. I don't know what to do, and I don't understand nothing with RAID technology.

  Help, please.

  That's easy, you need the RAID driver which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.
  Then you use the external USB FDD drive and the floppy with this RAID driver for installation.

  Then you press F6 to install the RAID driver. Notes; After installing the driver RAID don't format the HARD drive again!

• Qosmio G20 - how to install with a single drive HARD and without RAID?

  I would like to implement G20 Qosimo new with Windows XP 32.
  I bought a new hard drive and put it on the slot 1. I would like to run without any RAID (slot 2 is so empty)

  XP installation CD not found HD
  I went into the BIOS to see if the HD was there - HD is considered normal
  then I thought that I have to change RAID JBOD (page 3 of the BIOS), but it did not work
  I have confirmed with the button of 1234 - but nothing happened.

  In another task, they said to install the RAID-(pressant F6,... tout en commencer l'installation de XP) drivers
  I put the drivers on a USB - but the system will not detect it (and there is no floppy drive)

  I don't know how to install XP on this laptop.
  Any tips?

  Chris

  Can you get the external floppy drive (floppy drive) and load the RAID drivers using this disc which should be connected using the USB port?

  This floppy drive, you can buy on eBay for a few euros.

• Qosmio G20 - 156 issue of battery internal

  Having sent the G20 back under warranty for a revision complete, I got it back and put it away. It was not used for 2 years after checking that everything was working ok. Now when I turn it on I get a back like screen and I like the internal battery is gone!

  I didn't even know that he was one who apparently runs out after about 5 years. Is this true and if so why didn't anyone tell you on this subject. It is also apparently only accessible if you remove most of the computer - is that correct and why is it so inaccessible?

  They assume that these machines will not last 5 years?
  What are my options, worth the time and money to get the battery replaced or should I sell just the computer as a whole to factory like new.
  Advice would be appreciated.

  Hello

  I think you mean that the BIOS battery (also called battery CMOS).
  Its ascent (in many cases also welded) on the motherboard and this battery feeds for BIOS.

  Usually this battery is always charged when the AC adapter is plugged in and the laptop is turned on.

  As far as I know the battery must be charged for 18 hours in order to get fully charged. Therefore, connect the power adapter and leave the laptop running for a longer period of time (6 pm). Then check if the battery would be charged.
  If not, then the technician must verify and if necessary this part needs to be replaced.

  YOU HAVE PURCHASED A QOSMIO G20 AND I WANTED TO DO A CLEAN XP INSTALL

  Hello

  As far as I know Windows XP needs a file NTFS format the hard drive.
  Why you changed the file system format? The chkdsk message usually occurs due to defective files or sectors of HARD disk system.
  I recommend you to install the OS on the NTFS format.
  Have you checked if Ca? s possible to start the process of recovery from the recovery CD?
