Qosmio G30 model Japanese and Digital tuner

Hello

I have a Qosmio G30-593ls which is a Japanese model. I know it has a digital tuner and I want to watch to watch TV in Australia on the Qosmio.

So far, I have the right cable and were able to get the 5 analogue channels and watch these by Microsoft Media Center.

But the analog channels are disappearing in a few months time and I prefer digital anyway.

I was not able to get all the digital channels. I don't have the Toshiba software that I updated to win7 myself.

My question is:

Do I need to use a box office to watch digital TV on the Qosmio in Australia?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Pat.

As far as I know the TV tuners in laptops vary by country material so I put t think you can use this internal tuner in the world.
For this reason, I believe that you need an external device for watching digital TV in Australia.

  • Qosmio G30 display flickering and cannot connect to Windows

    I have to press F5 to make the visible display each time that I boot. I thought that it was a software related issue and I tried to format the drive with recovery CD original. However, the screen keeps flickering of the stage of the BIOS.
    Now, it's even worse. The screen flashes when the turning on and I cannot Ouvrezunesession Windows MCE after formatted HARD drive.

    After reading the FAQ and related articles, I suspect that it was a problem of graphics (hardware).
    My graphics card is NVidia Go7600. Is this true, and it's a must to change the hardware (graphics card)?

    Appreciate your advice before contacting the local support team.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello!

    That s a strange question. Do you have the same problems on an external monitor?

    If a display is flashing, the screen itself is faulty, the FL tube is the cause of the error. I think that is the best, when an ASP (authorized service provider) checks your Qosmio G30.
    Here you can find one:

  • Some problems with Qosmio G30-179 - remote and TV

    Hello, (I am French and my English is bad)

    I have a Qosmio G30-179 and I can't use my remote when the computer's power on. But I can use the remote to turn on my computer and I can use it when I use the TV and media keys (on the right of the power button).

    Another problem: I get nothing when I search for a signal TV on Media player. Even if I'm in a place where I already receive all TV channels. Maybe they had some problems undetected...

    All these functions have already worked and I realized that they do not work there is little time. But I don't use them for a long time, since I have received my computer, when he came back guaranteed (I send them because he had a problem in the bars of RAM.)

    Then, I think that there was a problem with the service. But I'm not sure.

    What do you think about this? Should I call them?
    Or this problem can be easily resolved?
    Thank you in advance.

    In this case, it is really not easy to give advice quite simply. If you are looking for the simplest solution I recommend you save all your data and install OS using recovery DVDs. After that make this laptop will have factory again and I hope that it will work as before.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio G30-145: WinXP and RAID driver - no response

    I did everything that is needed for the installation of windows xp for Qosmio G30-145.

    Installation process is as a result: as in http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB56012H0001R01.htm and that worked, but during the installation of windows has started, you will be asked once more (first time I did format and second time that I did ' t format HARD drive): "INSERT THE DISK LABELLED"TOSHIBA RAID DRIVER"in the A: drive... "Press on enter when ready '- but no reaction... SOLUTION!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    According to the Toshiba page suggested when installing Windows using to partition or format the HARD drive, the RAID driver is deleted in the process. This causes the shot the next time that the machine start-up.
    To avoid this, perform a partitioning and formatting before you run the manual installation of Windows.
    This behavior is not displayed during the installation of Windows XP with SP2 integrated

    Well, perhaps, you need a CD OS Win SP2 integrated?

    But why you do not use the recovery CD Toshiba delivered?
    On this CD, all drivers are preinstalled and you only need to install the OS from the recovery CD. All should work properly.

    PS: Just for the record: in the BIOS, you should find an option to disable (or change) the RAID.

  • Qosmio G30-153 stops and restarts when you try to run programs and games

    I bought inscribed in the computer of 22 days ago. After 4 days of work without problem the laptop started to plant a blue screen, mainly with the "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" error

    Very often when you try to play a 3D game or using any program (internet browser, file manager or almost). As the Blue error screen is essential to the system, the computer restarts by itself, but even more often an (specific to the program or to a standard error window

    Windows "(nous sommes désolés, mais le programme doit mettre fin à cause de l'erreur...-une erreur principalement dans certains fichiers.dll dans le répertoire Windows) appears disabled to continue the work on the program until you restart manually."

    I restored the system once already - it did not help, I also downloaded the latest drivers, including upgrading the Bios.

    What can be wrong, I have no idea. Help, please...

    Hello

    Can you please tell us what games you have preinstalled and programs? Description of your problem is quite general and it is not possible to have any concrete indication that may be the problem. For some time, I have G30 and operating system runs very stable with standard applications such as Microsoft Office, Skype, Icq, MSN messenger and IE7 with LAN and WLAN connection.

    Up to now, I really didn't notice any problem. Because of this, I really want to know what programs you're using.

  • Qosmio G30 - 175 virus and the need to recover

    Unfortunately, my husband has downloaded a virus Smart Engine and now my laptop does not work.

    Sometimes I can get on the internet and Word for example, but sometimes takes several attempts.
    Slowly, has worsened over the last days even though I thought I had removed the virus.

    Cannot back up data because IE components cannot be read etc.
    I wonder if I use the recovery disk will I lose all my data, photographs and documents?

    Any help would be appreciated

    > I wonder if I use the recovery disk will I lose all my data, photographs and documents?
    Unfortunately, Yes. The recovery would be to format the whole HARD drive and would erase the partitions too.
    I recommend starting the Live CD WinPE and BartPE. (use google)

    These are Boot CD. This will start Notepad with Windows operating system environment that allows you to access the data on the HARD drive.
    Then, you can back up important data, and can then use the recovery disk to reinstall new OS.

  • Qosmio G30-163 mouse and keyboard does not work properly

    Hi all

    I installed an update of the firmware of the toshiba site. I think that the upgrade was for the dvd but am not sure. I just saw an available upgrade and installed. Stupid of me. The dvd drive has been previously not recording. If after installing the update of the firmware I has not restarted the machine. In the meantime, I forgot the upgrade and then I did to fix the error of dvd

    "Start the Registry Editor (start, run and type regedit and click on).

    Search for "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" (and "UpperFilters.bak" "LowerFilters.bak", if they exist) value under the following key in the registry and delete it:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Exit the registry editor.

    Reset. »

    Now, after restart the keyboard and the mouse does not work. I can't go in safe mode because I can't press ok for the user login screen. I have attached an external keyboard, but it still does not work.

    I use windows xp, I have a lot of data. I can't do anything. If anyone has any idea please help me. The laptop is out of warranty. I'm stuck. Help, please.

    John

    S rally strange because I put t see a link between the firmware CD/DVD, UpperFilters and LowerFilters and the keyboard and mouse.

    This is first time that a removal of the upper and lower filters would undermine the functionality of keyboard and mouse. Which is really strange.

    Anyway, you are able to access the BIOS? If this isn't the case, then this is not good.

    First of all, you should try to save the data stored on the HARD disk in this case, I recommend to remove the laptop HARD drive and connect it using a USB HDD on another controller.
    This would allow you to save the data to another HARD disk.

    Put the removed HARD disk in Notepad, and then try to reinstall the OS from the Toshiba restore CD.
    I hope that this will be possible because I don't see another way to get the operating system again.

    Good luck by a friend

  • Qosmio G30: blue vertical lines and crash dump blue screen

    I have a Qosmio G30, model No. PQG32C-AV605E with BIOS Version 3.40.
    I want to update 3.90, but I can't get into Windows.

    How update the BIOS without windows available?
    Y at - it a utility BACK?

    If so, please send and I will download it or send me an email on where to download.
    The G30 that I has vertical lines blue on the screen when the computer starts in VGA mode entering into Windows for the first time.

    But the machine can not get into windows, it freezes and dumps and restarts before that.
    I replaced the RAM with new RAM, but it has no effect.

    I ran the diagnostics utility and hard drives are OPTIMAL in RAID 1, so no errors there.
    Reinstalling Windows went well: I can't do it in VGA mode without lines.

    Toshiba technical support told me that an upgrade of BIOS fix it.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    have you tried to plug the external monitor? If it still shows blue vertical lines, the reason is a failure of the graphics card. (You can also reinstall Windows to check the related issue of f it's Os). Otherwise, contact the after-sales service.

  • Qosmio G30 - software very slow loading

    I have a Qosmio G30 P650 unit and had since 2009. Two weeks only noticed during the bars running under the windows xp loading Win Xp logo slows down and it takes a long time to load windows. He had no other choice but to re - install the software using the recovery CD.

    However, I found that in a first time, the device works well after the resumption, but after turning off and leave for a while and turn it on again a few hours later it's the same thing. The software is loading very slowly. But in safe mode, it's fast.

    What is a hard drive problem? There was a time after that reloading the recovery software (even clear partitions), the software will load more slowly. Sometimes after recovery, it is normal but after reboot, the problem repeats.

    Can someone tell me what could be wrong with this laptop?

    Thank you very much

    > Is this a hard drive problem?
    Perhaps.

    Must test the HARD drive for errors possible there are many diagnostic tools that could test the HARD drive.
    For example: HDD Regenerator 2011, SMARTReporter 3.0.4 or the freeware software called Drive Fitness Test.

  • Qosmio G30 - 126 - hdd instaltion Win7 or Vista appears

    Hi all

    I have a Qosmio g30-126 system.
    I don't have the recovery CD.
    I want to install the Win7 or Win Vista.
    It is not showing me the two 200 + 200 HARD drive.

    Please tell to me what I'm doing.

    Hi mate

    I think that you don t need a driver SATA, but RAID driver!

    AFAIK the Qosmio G30 supports RAID and so you must include the RAID driver.
    Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and download the RAID driver that is listed in the list.

    Note: Choose the Archive in the Type of product because G30 is an old series.

    After having downloaded and uzipped the driver, you need to add this driver during Windows Setup configuration.

  • Cannot start update BIOS on Qosmio G30

    Hello

    I ve a Qosmio G30-188 (PQG30E) and after a few problems and a few messages that I read on the internet I wanted to update my BIOS. So I went to the page of the selected Toshiba driver my laptop downloaded the update to the BIOS, but it does not work.

    Whenever I get the error that this BIOS is not supported for my computer. After some more try to install it, I started to wonder. Then I found the option where a Toshiba tool can find what laptop you automatically. So it has detected the same laptop I chose before and the BIOS-update, he gave, it was the same that I already found.

    So I got the same problem again.
    The version of the BIOS that I have is: acpi bios ver 1.40

    Someone has ideas how to upgrade the BIOS?

    THX

    Hello

    What kind of problems do you have? Perhaps, the update of the Bios is unnecessary at all.

  • How to get the repair of the Qosmio G30

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio, and unfortunately it has hardware problems.
    I did some troubleshooting and found that it was the graphics card. I brought my dealer because it is still under warranty.
    They checked and said it was the graphics card in 30 seconds, so he sent him to these guys http://www.serviceexpress.com.au/services.aspx

    After 2 weeks, I rang my dealer and he gave me the website and number of ICF so I could check on my computer. They did nothing so I sent them an email and they said that it was now a priority. After 1 week more I sent the email asking what was going on and they said that it was still a diagnosis.
    After yet another week, it's 2 weeks to diagnose the problem, they say that we send parts and that it could take some time.

    Now do not know if someone at Toshiba are affected by this, but I paid a lot of money for a laptop, that I couldn't user for more than 4 weeks now. As I couldn't find an e-mail address for a contact that I posted hear. I'm very frustrated because the computer itself is good, but I am satisfied with the service I receive.

    I would be happy to receive an email from someone at Toshiba, to see if they think it's acceptable or that they would be happy to go without a computer here for 4 + weeks of time.

    Thank you
