  Model: Qosmio G25-AV513

  CD/DVD drive will read/play all CDs and DVDs, but does not burn, Help!
  Ive Tried: uninstall, reinstall the Cd/Dvd driver, using the brand different cd burning programs, activating/deactivating the drive. Help! Please

  In my case the removal of the upper and lower registry filters helped get the CD/DVD is working again.
  You should try this:

  -go to the Device Manager and remove the drive from the list CD/DVD
  -Start the registry using the regedit command and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  -restart the laptop.

  Like I said it was very useful for me. Maybe it helps you too.

• Qosmio G25-AV513 - can't find the 2nd HARD drive

  The G25 AV513, isn't supposed to have 2 drives, one with 120 GB and the second with 60 GB? I see only a drirve in "My Computer".

  I erased my computer and re-installed Windows XP operating system since the original CD Toshiba I chose option 3 "Striping" of readers. I'm supposed to see the two readers in "workstation? I have a total of 180 GB of memory? According to 'My computer' I see the C: drive and its total capacity is only 111 GB.

  I also tried to reinstall the operating system using two other options, option 1 using installation default Toshiba who said I can mirror to another date by using RAID, but I got about 45 GB of memory with this option, and it was the same for option 2, although about 45 GB.

  Once again, showing only a drive in "My Computer".

  > Isn't the G25 AV513 supposed to have 2 drives, one with 120 GB and the second with 60 GB?

  This seems to be a series of Toshiba laptops we.
  I searched a few details and found the info on the Toshiba page we:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

  There are two hard drives (2 x 60GB)
  You can check this in disk management and you will find the available disks.

  I think you can see that a single (120 GB) HARD drive in my computer, because the two hard disks are merged because RAID settings in the BIOS!

  Take a look in the user manual!

• Media buttons do not work on the Qosmio G25-AV513

  OK, so my problem is that my media above the keys Fn buttons no longer work.
  They will beep when you press on them, but nothing happens. I can't change even more than the brightness of my screen.
  Anyone know where I can go to find the files needed to download or point me in the right direction what to do?
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Also, I know not how long they stopped working because I did not need any of them for several months, I just tried to use it today and can't.
  The model is a G25-AV513

  Hi mate,

  Please visit the following link:

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

  search for your computer and download the last value added package (VAP). If no one is available, then find a software which is called as "Flashcards" or something with "Flashcard buttons".

  Install them and the Fn keys should work again.

• Can not boot from CD/DVD on the Qosmio G25-av513

  I don't have the recovery CD anymore but I am trying to boot from the CD with a CD of Windows XP and I changed the priority to boot from CD first in the BIOS and it always displays this message... Help, please!

  Hello

  Enter the BIOS settings and set its default value. Then try to boot up your laptop and check what happens. Also try to boot from CD/DVD installations. If the problem continues, I'm afraid there is a hardware problem devices such as HDD and ODD are not visible to the BIOS settings.

  I assume it can be due to faulty hardware or faulty controller on the motherboard.

• DVD-RAM on Qosmio G25 (AV513) does not work correctly

  Hi guys,.

  My G25 has crashed and I restored it using the original restore CD supplied with the machine, but after the installation of the DVD-ROM (Mat * a dvd - ram UJ-845 s) did not appear in the windows XP media center SP2 and in Device Manager.

  It appears with a yellow (!) I tried to install the driver on the site, but there are "device not connected".
  I tried the DVD via the Qosmio player and it worked does someone has an idea how make it work on windows again?

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  have you tried to remove the drive from the "Device Manager" and reinstall completely? Normally windows should install then device and shouldn´t you need all the drivers, especially for the DVD-RAM.
  So, if it is not already done, remove it and try it.

  Greetings

• G25-AV513: Questions about the use of this device

  I recently bought the Qosmio G25-AV513 but it was an open box, so I went back there and has been convinced, it was beautiful... so I started to set up at home and low and behold... bad pixels. So I went back and asked when would happen more... and I was told no more are regular and doubtful if they will be. But they have another oped model that runs like new...

  So the question I have. I'll buy this mainly for use high game... dunno if I should adjust for this model... now that I know, that a newer version came in the second week of January... but if it is not suitable for use games and audio/video I lost out on the G25.

  All recommendations... ?
  Do you think that this new model would be the next progression or and a good bet... or just different and not worth risking the g25 on.

  Hello Kerry

  Of course, you have an American machine and the hardware configuration is not known to me. The fact is that each new unit has especially more recent pieces of material (more MB on graphics card) or more of RAM. Qosmio G20 G25 United States is a great unit. A friend of mine has one and the game works fine.

  In my view, you can compare your device with a newer version, but if you like playing games, in my opinion, the G25 is the right one.

  Good bye

• Need of replacement of CD/DVD for Qosmio G25

  Hello everyone

  I have a Qosmio G25-AV513. This is very similar to the G20. It is out of warranty. The Dvd/rw drive is a carpet * a 845 s. The trouble started just after a year of purchase. After a complete system restore and update the reader has a very unpredictable reliability with optical media. The brands it has previously burned without problems now are not recognized or fail with the error "power calibration".

  I went through the administrative service, various burning software settings, revising flash's 102D. Various resources on the net show that the other laptop brands that use this model reader also suffer these problems. I'm therefore looking to confirm a suitable replacement disk. I have taken note that the master/slave jumpers may be hard together.

  If you are looking for a replacement, that I fell on the Panasonic UJ - 85J. Can anyone confirm this or another drive as a replacement right? Although I would like to keep away from the mat * a readers.
  Pointers would be appreciated, it's not fun drag an external drive.

  Tony

  Hello

  > He previously serious with no problems are currently not recognized or fail with the error "power calibration".

  The power calibration error because the lens of the drive cannot calibrate in the correct position and that's why the drive can't handle the different CD or DVD.
  As you assume already that the drive needs to be replaced

  All compatible readers should be mentioned in the manual of the user who is always pre-installed on Toshiba laptops
  Take a look here.

  You can also try to contact the ASP in your country. You can order each taken part supported and compatible with the service partner
  In my opinion it of a safe way to buy a really compatible player

• Missing NTLDR reported in Windows XP SP3 and SATA disks only

  Two days ago my PC refuses to start and I got the error NTLDR not found. Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart. My computer got only SATA hard drives and these are not detected by my Windows XP CDROM for a reboot to CD. The system reports no disk found.

  I am able to get my PC running using the HIRENS boot disk. This isn't a permanent solution and I need help to get back on track again.

  Can I just start my PC using HIREN and then insert the Windows CDROM and use the following commands at the CMD window BACK line?

  COPY C: X:i386NTLDR
  COPY C: X:i386NTDETECT.com

  Where X is the letter of the CD ROM drive

  Then restart my PC and this work? I don't want to ruin my system so I need some advice please.

  You are welcome. Let me know how things are going. See you soon. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Qosmio G25: Restore UK disks can work on machine USA?

  Hello
  I attended college in the United Kingdom since last September. Has decided to make use of the Easter hols to start on my Qosmio G25 (G30 to the United Kingdom). Unfortunately restore 2nd disc (3rd if count you the disc from the Qosmio player) has a read error.

  I've been in contact with a very nice toshiba service representative, but he says that records UK will be dependent not on a machine of USA due to the identifier is different (CMOS/processor or m/Board).
  Another that ask my brother to ship the original for me disks (I travelled with the backups that I did), the only thing I can think is to try software retreival data on the failed drive and burn a new disc.
  I'm off to a friend to do once I have validated.

  If anyone can shed some light on how to use a disc of UK to recover my system, assuming that it is a question, it would be great.

  Hello

  I don't really know if it will work. I heard that the American units have support different recovery check and if the drive is not the right installation is not possible.

• Satellite A110-180 - update of the Bios for Windows 7 and Linux

  Hello

  I want to change the following settings in my bios on my laptop satellite A110-180
  * AHCI for SATA
  Disable the IDE

  But none of these options.
  So I thought that maybe I should update my bios.
  I found the download page, but there are 2 options: Windows Vista or NO vista, but I want to dual boot windows 7 and linux.

  Which one should I download, or is there another option to change the settings?

  Thank you!
  Bart

  Hello

  Satellite A110 does not support these options (SATA AHCI).
  The update of the BIOS will not help you!

  Linux is not supported and therefore, you will not find any special BIOS for Linux OS!

  The two BIOS updates are for Win Vista or OS independent.
  Therefore, if you use other than Vista OS then you should throw the update of the independent BIOS to the BONE!

  But as mentioned above; both options will not appear after the BIOS update!

• Qosmio G20-108 Windows recovery problem.

  Hello

  I just purchased a Qosmio G20-108 of ebay and the seller said that the laptop is ok but I had a virus previously and it wiped the HARD drive. The DVD player has so replaced it by a new one, but he couldn't just load the recovery of Windows Media Center. I bought the laptop thinking that I can fix it but I could not and now I felt stupid: (.)

  When I turn it on, you receive this error message:

  ERROR ATA #1

  Intel (r) Boot Agen FE v4.1.16
  Copyright (C) 1997-2004, Intel Corporation

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.

  Someone has an idea on how to solve this problem before sending it to the "Topaz" Support and cost me a fortune?

  Thank you.

  If the DVD player is replaced, you are 100% sure it works well then you probably have a problem with faulty HARD drive.

  If possible, try to get one for testing purposes. It can be used. Replace the HARD drive and try to install the top OS. Check if you have full access to the HARD drive.

• Activation microphone Qosmio G25

  Hello
  Unsuccessful so far tried to activate the built in mike as well as a plug-in of mike in spite of tweaking the settings of Soundmax.
  Any ideas?
  You want to use Skype on the mobile phone.
  See you soon,.
  Peter

  Hello

  I'm not very familiar with the Qosmio G25 because this device was designed for the American market.
  I'm not 100% sure if the internal MIC is available on this unit.
  But if the internal MIC is available so normally, it should be possible to enable this device in the Panel of control under "Sound and Audio device.

  The other side, you can use the external mic.

• Qosmio G25: Vertical lines of pixels blocked

  I have a huge problem with my Toshiba Qosmio G25:

  My LCD has 2 lines of pixels blocked, one pixel wide, going from top to bottom. Before we continue, I want to point out that my computer has not had any physical trauma of any kind and is usually used as an office.

  Everyone knows about this problem? Is there any miracle solution that I can handle it on my own or the only solution sends on laptop computer for the service? How the problems like that managed, toshiba will replace the screen or that they will completely replace the computer? I'd much rather prefer rather to solve this on my own with your suggestions as opposed to a long wait on the service.

  All of my school work depends on my computer and I would be helpless without him for several weeks. Please if someone has experienced this problem and it is resolved, I'd appreciate that they could share their experience and knowledge.

  Thanks for your time.

  Hello Makaroni

  It is not easy to say if this happens due to a malfunction LCD or even faulty graphics card. You can check its operation with an external monitor to see if the problem persists.

  In any case I put t believe you can do anything on your own, especially if the graphics card or the LCD is faulty. The hardware must be replaced. I know it's very annoying, but I recommend you contact the service in your country. Save all your data on USB and try to finish your work on some PC friends.

• Qosmio G25: Dust seems to accumulate behind my screen?

  Hello

  I use my Qosmio G25 for half a year now and over time, it seems that dust has been implemented behind my screen. It's not pretty to look at because it weakens my screen contain the dark spots. In fact it is not behind my screen, but between the screen and the protective layer that covers.

  I have beared to live with it, like two months now, but recently, to my surprise that I even found an eyelash taken down there.

  Does anyone have the same problem as me? Is there a way to remove the protective layer and clean the strainer, cause that it becomes a problem.
  Hope to hear from you guys...

  see you soon
  Dave

  Hello

  There is not really a way to do so without possibly damaging the LCD. If your computer is under warranty, I advise to take it to your authorized service provider and to replace the LCD screen. I remember the dark spots in LCDs are contained in security LCD which makes replaceable under warranty. Otherwise, you can try to clean behind the protective layer, but I don't think it will change anything.

  Hope that fix you and have a nice day.
