Qosmio G20 - spot on the screen

Coffee was spilled on my Qosmio G20 yesterday, my first reaction was to try to keep out of the keyboard and PCB below, but this resulted in a few enter the screen leaving a stain on the left hand side (the region is actually brighter than the rest of the screen).

Are there instructions anywhere on the disassembly of the screen as I wonder whether to go inside and try to clean this area or just live with it.

I have no Toshiba dealers anywhere near me and that you do not want to send the laptop away for several weeks.

Hello

The spilled liquid is still a serious problem.
But it seems you're a lucky guy and the liquid doesn't damage the motherboard and integrated circuits.

In any case, I would not recommend opening the laptop itself. Looks like you haven t a lot of experience with these procedures.
It s always risky to disassemble the laptop. The chances are high that you damage to other parts.

Finally, you must know that you will lose the warranty if you disassemble the laptop itself.

Good bye

  • Is it possible to have an iPhone all nine 6s with spots on the screen changed?

    Hello

    I bought an iPhone 6s a few days ago, of the Finland via a wireless carrier (Elisa). Right after I remove the screen protector, I realized there are a few spots on the screen that would return a moment after them wiping. Next day I took the phone to the operator and asked them if they could replace it because I had just bought it. (I did not ask a refund.)

    The clerk denied the right for my defective phone replacement and instead offered to send it to the service center to fix it. I insisted on the fact that in the interest of customer satisfaction, the devices usually receive a certain time to return where they do not meet expectations. The clerk said there was no other way, but having repaired. I wasn't happy, but since there is no other solution I had to restore my phone after two days of buying it.

    Now, given that I bought from an operator and not an Apple store, I wanted to make sure the conditions of Apple in these cases. I find it very unlikely that Apple services do not immediately replace a defective product when it turns therefore upon purchase.

    Can I do right now to make them replace my phone instead of repair?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You should get a replacement iPhone, but that they must check first for any liquid.

    In the meantime use SIM card in another phone if you have one.

    It will take a few days to sort out.

    See you soon

    It therefore appears as a white light spot when the screen has a light background. On a screen darker it disappears completely. The spot is a few millimetres in size. My system is lenovo Z50-70.

  • White/clear spots on the screen

    Hello
    My Z5 started having white/clear spots on the screen, he especially visible on a white background. Does anyone know if it covered by the warranty

    Hi @Adamb1,

    Sorry to hear that.

    Your phone must be examined by an authorized technician before we can determine if it is something that is covered by our warranty. For this reason your phone must be sent to our authorized service center through your local ownership as Uliwooly said.

  • white spots on the screen of the touchpad

    I just got a 32 GB touchpad. I noticed that there are some white spots on the screen. One of them near the top left of the screen is very notciable but only on a clear background as white and light gray. The special white spot appears brighter than the background (slightly bluish). It is about 2-3mm in the Center and extends the region approximately 10 mm. Also, anyone notice the same thing?

    I would not bother to repair unless the white spots get more over time. I wonder if this is a sign of failure. Thank you.

    P.S. shapes of white spots appear similar to these well-known yellow spots on ipad 2.

    OK, answered my own question. After some Internet research, I am convinced the white spots (or stains specifically) are "pressure damage. It could have happened during the Assembly process. Some have said that this kind of problem could get worse with time (as one of my LCD monitors). In any case, I discuss with CS and they will repair screen touchpad for me.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Small white spots on the screen (no pixels dead) of RMB

    This week, when I opened my MacBook on the screen, I saw on the white spots screen 12 ". At first, I thought maybe would it be a beat on the screen but a quick wipe down and a thorough inspection of different angles confirmed that it was something else. I closed and turned back RMB. The small bright white spots were persistent, although only perceptible in the middle of a dark background, or when the Sun is reflected on the screen.

    Everyone has the same problem or knows what is the best solution for this problem? I don't have a case at Apple yet, because I am in doubt if Apple repair this under warranty on the other I need to get in touch with my insurance company.

    It reminds me of all the problems with the Retina on the MacBook Pro screens (you can search "Staingate" in Google). If the MacBook is under warranty, you must make a backup of your data and take it to an Apple Store or dealer, so that you can get your MacBook repaired.

  • X 300-11 of Qosmio - can't calibrate the screen

    I just got in photo retouching and I'm having a lot of difficulties to calibrate my screen on my Qosmio X 300 - 11.

    I am using Adobe gamma to make the correct adjustments, but it won t work properly. I start by changing the brightness/contrast at the appropriate level, but every time I continue to try and adjust the gamma that the screen immediately goes back to the initial brightness. I then have to go back and move only 1 point upwards or downwards on the brightness and back again (Control Panel Nvidia) slider to get the correct settings. If I can continue to try to adjust the gamma again the same thing happens again. And whenever I restart the computer, the screen is back that it is the normal brightness level, although levels remain the same in the Nvidia Control Panel.

    So it of impossible for me to reach the right levels. I have all the latest drivers installed and I don t know how to go about this to do right. Really would like some help here. Has anyone reached the right levels for photo editing?

    Thanks in advance

    / Thomas Sweden

    Hello

    I don't have much experience with Adobe Gamma, but maybe this can help you: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=321608

    One thing is important:
    Note: After you remove Adobe Gamma Loader on the startup folder, Adobe Gamma is always available in the Control Panel, but its settings are not loaded at Windows startup. Photoshop continues to use Adobe Gamma to access the monitor profile that you specified.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    Is that what someone has successfully installed the logitech quickcam 5000 on their Qosmio G20? I can only use it with the microphone disabled - enabling it results in constant "noise" of the speaker left (or earphone).

  • Bubble like spots on the screen LCD T410

    Just noticed this a few minutes ago on my T410 (2516-CTO), there are three major tasks and three small spots on the centre-left of my screen. I tried to wipe the screen with a clean Microfiber cloth and a gentle jet of glasses cleaner on the cloth. All the dust was released, but the tasks remain. They appear only when I inspect the screen with a flashlight on dead. These tasks similar to white reflecting film-y areas, like the surface of the screen LCD is peeled off with very thin air bubbles. They seem to resemble defects under the surface - is my LCD delamination or anything else bad past?

    Doesn't look like it, they think that his 'damage' I have to pay for. I've only had this T410 for a week.

    Good news! After a long out of stock, the technician on-site, finally, came and succeeded him. Less than 15 minutes so I was looking at.
