Qosmio G30-102 - update of the HD-DVD player

Hello

Despite having owned my system for nearly two years, I still had to use the HD of the STRANGE (TS-L802A) feature to watch HD DVD movies. I recently bought some old titles and started watching the first last week when after 10 minutes, the movie stopped and an error dialog box appears explaining that the media can not be read. After you haven't tried varioud reboots, re-install the reader software HDDVD Toshiba and a re-flash of the firmware still no joy to play HDDVDs. CDs and DVDs are still going strong.

Since I was out of warranty, I put on the search for a replacement unit and found a system of opportunity-pull SD-L802B on ebay for a reasonable amount of money, but with the bezel of a Toshiba Satellite, I can quite easily change. I checked, double checked and triple checked that the SD-L802B reads HDDVDs, and according to the writing on the Toshiba site, it is simply a newer version of the TS-L802A with 8 MB of cache instead of the 1 MB mounted on the TS-L802A.

So I bought the camera and having installed (and resorting to the peripheral solder pin 45 and 47 to make master) I'm finally greeted by a message popup explaining that the system has found a player SD-L622A. My heart is Serra.

It is clearly a CD/DVDR drive despiet the fact it has SD-L802B emblazoned on it. V622 (which should maybe have the game away!) and the Bios is 70.

It's a long shot, but I hope that the reader I can be flashed to make a complete SD-L802B on the remote hope that in all other respects the disc material is a 802, i.e. has HD ability but disabled for the 622. But my instinct tells me that it is in all respects a laser HD 802, but without the necessary decder, mounted on the PCB.

I'm a little angry that the original drive has failed in the beginning of the first place, likely a laser non-compliant HD cpl standards, but now more then a disc labeled as L802B turns out to be a L622A...

Any help appeciated, even if it is to confirm that the drive cannot be flashed to a 802 save me more time.
I might try the Flash but I fear that he would be completely useless.

Thank you

Leo

Hello

To be honest, I can't believe that the HD-DVD SD - L802B drive has been flashed to be a SD-L622A.

I searched a bit on the internet and found this Toshiba page;
http://Toshiba-SDD.EMS-p.de/index.php?id=112&PID=221&SID=3
It s clearly mentioned that this drive reads HD DVD (including DVD - RAM) DVD and CD media.

But unfortunately, there is no update of the firmware or anything else that might set the drive to the SD-L802B.

Maybe this isn't really a SD-L802B but it was sold as the SD-L802B

  • Update of the software DVD player for Satellite X 200

    I am a novice pc user and this is my first post - I received an email with a software update for the DVD player.

    The e-mail indicates the installation instructions are in the zip file but I can't find it there or elsewhere - I tried to use the facility to update Vista driver through the Device Manager and pointing to the file where I extracted the zip file, but it says that my drivers are up to date. I also clicked on the extracted Setup file but I get an error message saying: it will not work on my computer.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    First a question:
    Why do you want to update anything? You have problems with your laptop?
    If this isn't the case, so I see no reason to make the point.

    On the other hand; What DVD playback software do you mean exactly? Usually you can not install the utility via the Device Manager, but ONLY the device drivers!
    So for me you have mixed something!

    I bought the new Qosmio G30-102 and I'm sure that the connector SPDIF optical Out does not work.

    I can't test it now, but I had a couple of SPDIF sound cards and each of them had a red light on all the time, who reported that Optical SPDIF is supported.

    The Qosmio g30-102 definitely supports the audio line in Jack S/PDIF. It s a headphone
    You simply use the right cable!

  • Qosmio G30 - 102 screen completely disappeared

    I read a lot of messages about the green lines, white spot, and blue screens. However my laptop screen has taken a step beyond that and stopped working!

    I have a Qosmio G30 102. I was playing a game (use high amounts of graphics) when suddenly the screen went. I restarted the computer, but it came with the different colors of the Rainbow (green lines, would change to a completely white screen). The problem was once windows starts to load than the screen turns off. I used the function keys to review the settings of the screen (if you want it to be double screen, connected to the LCD tv), but nothing would work.

    I decided to restart the laptop, but it now came with windows not stopped correctly and gave me the options to start the computer and had pixels all messed up (some letters were missing), windows, put in place would not work after the reboot because the screen turns off.

    So now, the laptop is just left with a blank screen. I can't install windows and my warranty is now sold out (ironically just 1 month ago: S)

    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Qosmio G30-102: why is put in Picture not installed Utility value?

    Hi-

    I recently purchased a Qosmio G30-102 with nVIDIA GeForce Go 7600. In Chapter 6 of the manual, it refers to the utility of photo as part of the QosmioEngine installation development. Appears not to be entered preinstalled on your laptop. How can I get this program and why is it not already there?

    Thank you

    Mark

    Are you sure that this app is missing on you laptop to 100%?
    I ask because usually the image Enhancement Utility V3.8.0.0 TOSHIBA must be installed

    The QosmioEngine is active when you use the Qosmio Player TV or the DVD player Qosmio. In addition, the image of Toshiba Enhancement Utility is available on models nVidia Go7300.
    If you have the nVidia Go7300 graphics card you might check the windows, tabs in the nVidia desktop Manager Applications

  • Qosmio G30-102: sound distortion occurs mainly when games are played

    Does anyone know how to solve the problems of sounds with the Qosmio G30-102? I installed all the drivers in Vista. Sound distortion produced mainly when games are played. Also reinstalled direct X9.c. Thank you

    Sound problems appear only while you play games?
    I think that this laptop has been delivered with Windows XP MCE has this same phenomenon occurs on Windows XP?

    Driver sound installation or update? It seems that the Toshiba driver page provides the audio driver for Vista for Qosmio G30-112 PQG32.
    The latest version is a pilot of its sigma 6.10.5324.

    By the way; Control Panel audio SigmaTel provides some useful parameters.
    There, you should turn off (disable) the power management!
    In addition, you can try to play a little bit with the digital Dolby Virtual Speaker dolby and pro logic II parameters.

  • Qosmio E10-102 - cannot boot from CD/DVD

    Hello

    I have a laptop Qosmio E10-102 here. The hard drive is missing and I need to install the operating system on a new hard drive but I can't boot from CD/DVD. After the start of Qosmio screen, it shows "insert system disk in drive. Press any key when ready... ».

    When I press F1, I get the 1.5 version of BIOS ACPI boot menu, but I can't change date, time and the password. The boot priority is HDD-> FDD-> CD and I can't change it. The manual says to hold F12 during initialization, but this has no effect. Even by pressing the 'c' key, the disc does not start.

    I tried to put the hard drive in a laptop and install there, but detects the Windows installation disc, that's not Toshiba laptop.

    No idea how to fix?

    Hi Napto,

    The CD/DVD drive is correctly listed in the BIOS? You see the model number of your player? Usually, this should be possible

    And what installation disc, you are starting? You use Microsoft disc or Toshiba Recovery disk?
    Maybe the current disc is scratched

  • Qosmio G30-102 - can I install RAM DDR2 - 667 Kingston rather RAM DDR2-533?

    Hello!

    To upgrade RAM on my laptop, I used Kingston DDR2-667, and it works without any problems! :)

    Thus, you can use this module Kingston too but I guess that it runs only on due speed 533 MHz FSB of the processor limitation. You can check with a tool of information material such as Everest or PC Wizard 2008 for example the speed of the FSB.

    As far as I know, the laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB maximum RAM.

    Hello!

    Sorry, buddy, but this is not possible.
    You can use t as the screen of the laptop as a monitor. The laptop doesn't have a video input port, there is only for video output ports. This is the reason for this.

    So if you want a HD screen for your PS3, you will have to buy a monitor only. The laptop can be used for this.

  • Qosmio G20 102: problem RAID the installation of windows xp media center

    First of all I did not the raid driver for my qosmio. I tried the RAID of Qosmio G20, another pilot but when it reached the stage when I ask windows to format the C driver it shows me an error. It is said that there is an error in the KR10N file and it stops there.
    Please help me and thank you.

    Hello

    It seems that the Qosmio G20 102 belongs to the series of PQG20E.
    Research on the European driver Toshiba page I found the RAID for Windows XP MCE driver v1.03.0008 (can also be used with XP Pro).

    You will need an external USB FDD to include this driver in the operating system.
    But note; After installing the RAID driver you shouldn't t format the HARD disk or create a new partition, because that will remove the RAID driver from the HARD disk and installing the OS fails!

    I hope I could help you would also appreciate a feedback ;)
    Best regards

  • Satellite X 200 and replace the HD-DVD player

    G ' Day

    I'm looking to replace the HD-DVD drive in my Toshiba X 200 (PSPBUA-00N007) with a Blu - Ray player (or burner). They are on the market yet and available at Toshiba (or, say, eBay)? What should I look for?

    OK, I have a lot of knowledge about computer and please I need the Bios update but not windows based.
    I need BIOS update traditional back!

    The reason I want this is because blue screening in windows that I changed the HARD drive always even.
    I changed the memory and checked the fans always the same.
    I even tried to install XP using xp manual not restore disk using the sata drivers downloaded always the same.
    So now I know 100% if I managed to get the back of the bios download that this problem will be solved.

    Please, someone knows where.

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, Toshiba doesn't provide updates of the traditional BIOS. Only the win versions are available on the page.

    By the way; Why are you 100% sure that the BIOS update would solve this problem?
    BSOD problems are mainly related to the hardware malfunction or software problems.
    Usually, you should recovery the Qosmio with the restore CD provided. If the BSOD will appear during installation or immediately after installation, then the hardware problems are possible
