• Qosmio G30 HD-DVD (PQ31): updated Value Added Package

  I wonder if anyone has noticed this. They offer a value-added package update dated 08/01/2008 my Qosmio G30 HD - DVD (PQ31). The file reference is vap - 20080108132320.zip. I downloaded and installed the utilities contained in the compressed file, but now when I boot my laptop with Vista Ultimate, what follows are reported as incompatible with my version of the system: Toshiba Power Saver, Toshiba zooming Utility, Toshiba Wireless Hotkeys utility, Toshiba Raid Utility, controls of Toshiba, Toshiba Touchpad, utility, utilities Toshiba & finally Intel ProSet Wireless Driver.

  After checking the zipped file, I noticed that the installation files are named for the PQ-32 my PQ-31!

  Could this be the problem or Toshiba is not compatible Vista Ultimate? Your comments would be greatly appreciated

  PS I assume that this question should be addressed to Toshiba direct, but strangely, they fail to give an address for your comments.

  Hello Zaki

  Please don't be crazy about me, but what you wrote is noting but totally absurd. There is no difference between the versions of Vista and all Toshiba designed tools, utilities, or packages are universal and can be installed on every version of Vista.

  Qosmio G30 is quite long on the market and you are the first person who says something like that. I really wonder why?

  VAP is identical for both Qosmio models and there is no difference. PAxxx number is different but the platform is the same and there is no reason to make two different veterinary antimicrobial products.

  To be honest, one thing is interesting to me: How do you get the following are reported as incompatible with the version of my system?

  Before you try to install already preinstalled VAP should be removed first. If you do a clean install of Vista Ultimate there should not be any problems at all, just follow the order of the facilities.

• Qosmio G30-175: DVD player - RAM, it's a CD player

  Hello people, I once again.

  My 2 week old Qosmio G30 - 175 has a DVD-RAM drive that now appears in my computer as a CD player. As a result (I think) it will not automatically DVD playback. I can play manually through the media library or WMP, but no option does appear in the properties of the drive for auto, DVD playback.

  Can someone tell me why this happened? It is used to appear as a DVD - RAM drive. The only thing I did was to install Nero Premium. Who would have something to do with it?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Some people here in the forum have had problems with burning and DVD recognition because the different burning applications were installed on the operating system.
  Try to remove the other burning software and use only Nero.

• Can I change the video card on Qosmio G30 HD DVD

  Hello

  I want to change internal video card on my toshiba.
  I have another laptop manufacturing and card video is a nividia GeForce GO 7900 GS.
  On my toshiba today I have a GeForce GO 7600.

  Is - this posibel to change the graphics card with that on my XPs? Is it posibel even to change a video card in a G30?
  (Sorry my English is not the best!: D)

  Thx for any help

  Hello

  Usually it of not possible to change the GPU on laptop computers.
  The laptop is configured with this graphics card and after replacement, it possible s that the BIOS will not accept this card and laptop does not start.

  But why you want to replace it?

  It seems that there s a new notebook with HD-DVD player and a great graphics card.
  The replacement does not really increase the graphics performance!
  You know, replacement is very risky, and if you open the notebook, you will lose the warranty!
  It is not worth!

• Qosmio G30-176 - DVD player will not play

  The dvd player won't play or even say that there is a disc please help

  Hi Paul

  Your message is very short and you don t provide all the details, but I will try to provide the answer to a problem.
  First of all, this looks like a hardware problem. I mean the lens of the drive cannot calibrate in the right position and would have problems.
  In this case the player would not be able to manage different CDs or DVDs.

  But first, you should try this
  Access to the registry and try to remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  After this withdrawal, restart the computer.

  I read that this accelerated procedure to solve the different CD/DVD drive problem.

  But if you will not be successful then a hardware problem is possible and only a replacement of drives could help.

• No sound with Qosmio G30 (PQG32E) on Windows 7 32 bit

• Re: Qosmio G30 (PQG32) - buttons does not work

  I have a problem with my Qosmio G30 HD-DVD. I use Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate, but my buttons will not work. I tried to download the drivers for it, but I couldn't find a 32-bit version.
  Can someone help me?

  I also tried to download util_tvap that should work, but the problem is that I have to configure my own buttons here, and I don't know how to set up a play etc button because you provide a path.

  Hey,.

  Do you mean the buttons between the screen and the keyboard?

  I think the reason is the 32-bit version of the Package of added value. If you have a 64 bit OS, you need drivers 64-bit as well.
  If you are looking for on the official website of Toshiba Qosmio G40 G50, you can find the package of added value for Vista 64-bit. It should work on your laptop too. In addition, after the installation of VAP, you n t have to configure the buttons. Everything will solve automatically.

• Qosmio G30 - 126 monitor become black and FN buttons do not work

  Last week, I install Vista ultimate WITHOUT RECOVERY CD...
  It's OK, but I close the cover of the book and instantly open, monitor become black and I can't do anything without restarting.
  In the Panel in feeding opportunities, bookmark 'options to close the cushion' does not work.

  Maybe it's by, because I'm not driver if exists

  And second problem may be linked with the first, but it is a mistake, because I was not discover drivers because I haven't hidden toolbar on the back Windows, where standartly is on-site.

  I don't work much hidden functions under the FN key (I think that FN + F2, F3...) F12) most keys be the side POWER without multimedia keys on the music...

  Hi Martin

  First of all it s interesting if you have downloaded and installed all the Toshiba Vista drivers that are published on the European driver Toshiba page?
  All drivers must be installed in the correct order!

  If I'm not mistaken the Qosmio G30 - 126 belongs to the series of PQG32E. It was delivered with HD DVD player, and therefore, you should choose the drivers for the Qosmio G30 HD DVD (PQG32E)!

  Please first check the file txt Instructions of Installation, and then install all the drivers as mentioned in this document.

  With regard to the issue of the display;
  You need to install the correct driver NVIDIA of the Toshiba page!

  The keys FN and control buttons don t work because the Vista Toshiba value added Package has not been installed. This package contains applications that are needed to get all the features of Toshiba running!

  Good luck

• Bad resolution of Qosmio G30 - external display via the HDMI connection-

  Hello! This problem makes me crazy, please help if you can...

  I just bought a G30-102 and I am trying to use it with an external display via the HDMI connection. The problem I have is that the native resolution of 1920 x 1200 cut the edges of the screen and the quality looks terrible - its almost as if the entire screen is enlarged. I tried with a BenQ FP241wz initially (1080i is 1920 x 1200) and the Toshiba helpline could not find a solution either - even after painfully reinstall all the drivers, etc..

  Its been going on for so long, I thought I'd try it out with my HDTV instead, just to be sure it wasn't a monitor problem. So I tried with my Toshiba 32WLT66 - and come to find that it has exactly the same problem.

  All the display settings appear to be correct and the G30 is convinced that the result is correct, so I have now it is - don't you think not that this is a problem with my HDMI port?

  Please help, I'm a designer, and it is essential that I use the machine on a large screen. If it is a hardware of the G30 problem, I need to talk to Toshiba immediately replace or fixing.

  Hello

  I tested the Qosmio G30 (HD-DVD) with my LCD TV using a HDMI cable. Everything worked perfectly. As a first step, I put 1080i value in the settings of the BIOS and after following the instructions in the HDDVDGuide document under http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6A01LH000LR01.htm

• Qosmio G30 - a new CD/DVD drive is not working properly

  Hiya all

  I hope someone can help me. I had to replace my TS-L802A drive by another of the same model, except that when I replaced the drive I have problems to boot the CD and the laptop (Qosmio G30) rejects saying CD error at startup.

  I managed to install the operating system from a flash drive and it works great except for the side of cd rom of things. I have the flash player so that the laptop to recognize it? If yes how can I do to do that. I think the chipset for the optical drive is set as slave or something and not master.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  The readers of CD/DVD slimline for laptops are controlled by the firmware.
  The firmware controls the master/slave/c-selc settings.

  You need a player that is compatible with Qosmio G30.
  Your drive you bought may be compatible with a laptop, but if the settings are not compatible with Qosmio G30/bios of the controller, then, you wouldn't be able to use it

  There are no jumpers or anything else that could be changed as mentioned that he controlled by software

• Qosmio G30 - DVD-ROM drive has stopped working

  I have a Qosmio G30 age of 3 years and the DVD - ROM drive has stopped working.

  He still pulls in, but it will not read or burn discs.

  I received a quote of £360 Toshiba to adapt to a new one that seems generous.

  Anyone know where I could get it fixed cheaper than you?
  Or better yet... anyone know where I can I get it fixed?

  Hello
  This is not an answer to your question but can solve the problem if it is the same that I had.
  In my case, the drive tries to spin but it slips. Only the motor shaft rotates and the drive remains at low revolutions that were not even stationary.
  The problem was caused by the fact that the plastic part (black color) of the mechanism which engages the disc (CD or DVD) slips on the
  motor drive, axle and th couldn't do a full rotation or runs at the specified speed.
  The solution is to delete the article in plastic and put a small amount of super glue on the axle and then put it back.

  Where there is a similar issue, I hope that solve you it like I did.

• Qosmio G30-117: HD DVD support?

  I bought the qosmio G30-117. It plays HD DVD discs? If this isn't the case, I can play HD DVDs doing the firmware update?

  Post edited by: dr.amon

  Hi Amon

  As far I know a few models of G30 will be able to play HD only on some models. I found the info that some units with HDMI port and HD DVD player will have this opportunity.

  Sorry, but I have not found more information.

• Qosmio G30: Cannot burn DVD after installing Vista

  1 at - it Web site that display all the drivers {for Toshiba}

  2-if I was not installed this program, I could record DVDs?

  3. If there is a driver for it, I am glade he get you {vista}

  Best regards

  1. Yes, you can view all the drivers for your laptop model and the operating system on this page:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com (Support & downloads)

  2. I think there, like WinXP, already supported this, a base built into a program for recording discs, but I do not like he doesn't have many options. I suggest you try other programs like nero 3rd party

  3. normally, this DVD Ram driver should be included in Vista. Maybe you could try to use another program, as I mentioned above.
