Qosmio G30: Stuck Pixel?

Similar Questions

• Qosmio G30 pink pixels on the screen - what can I try next?

  I have a qosmio G30 on the white parts of the screen were pink pixel in them as well as purple pink pixels around parts.

  In reading the various posts, I have eliminated the graphics chip/card that I can get a perfect image on an external display. The laptop is out of warranty and also out of the extra year for graphics problems, so I tried to fix it myself. I tried all of the solutions below and none have worked.

  I wonder if anyone could give me any other things to try.

  I've updated the BIOS and the display driver - no change.
  I then replaced the motherboard to the LCD connection with a new cable - no change.

  And finally, I have replaced the LCD screen with a new - again no change.

  -Always works fine on an external monitor.

  Any ideas or suggestions would be very appreciated.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I think you're talking about dead pixels.
  Would this be possible?

  The problem of dead pixels has nothing to do with the graphics card but it s a display problem.
  So I was wondering why this problem persists after the LCD has been replaced

  Maybe a Toshiba laptop technician should verify and test parts of the hardware to make sure what part could be the problem exactly

• Qosmio G30-175: screen starts flickering pixels & funny

  Hello

  I have PC laptop Toshiba Qosmio G30-175. I was working fine until last week. But all of a sudden screen looks funny disappeared.
  When I start the laptop, it starts well and windows start too thin.
  But a few early screen minute flicker and everything on the screen disappear and all the screen do cover with kind of pixels.

  Could someone please advice me, what went wrong for this laptop. Is the motherboard or card went graph.
  If so, how can I get it fixed at a great price.
  Is it possible to change the graphics card.

  much thanks

  Hi mate

  I think I have bad news for you.
  According to your description the graphics card chip begins to malfunction, and I think you have only one chance to solve this problem; the defective part must be replaced!

  I would recommend so contact the nearest authorized service partner in your country and ask for later handling.

  Sorry mate but it isn't alternative :(

  Good luck

• Qosmio G30 - recovery disk to unzip files, but nothing happens

  I have a Qosmio G30 running Windows XP MCE. Windows has somehow was corrupt and laptop could only be started in safe mode. I backed up all my data but when I run the restore disc, it gets to 100%, but then nothing else happens. It says to eject the disc, but then just restarts automatically and that's all. I can't even open in safe mode now because it indicates that the installation is incomplete and I must rerun the recovery. I tried this but nothing helped.

  I'm stuck because now I can not open in safe mode.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Have you tested what happens with Microsoft XP disc?
  In addition, I would try to format the HARD drive first. Therefore, you can use a Microsoft disc to wipe the entire HARD disk. After that try the recovery disk again.

• Qosmio G30-140 - cannot adjust the brightness of the screen on Windows 7

  Hello

  I installed Windows 7 on my Qosmio G30-140, but I can't adjust the brightness settings.
  Instead of allowing me to place the cursor on any position, I want that I'm stuck with only 3 steps which elect to.
  The last of them is way to bright and my eyes keep tear having to deal with this crazy amount of white, especially on white background.
  The other two are very, very dark.
  What is going on? I installed the right Nvidia drivers.
  Also, I can't adjust the brightness using the FN keys on my keyboard. They simply produce no result at all.

  Need help appreciated, I can't work like this.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The brightness of the display can be controlled by the FN + F7 and Fn + F6.
  I think you should install the VAP and buttons of the Support of Flash memory card utility in order to get this to work!

  Check the added value Package and Support Flash Card which are released for Satellite L500 utility or new models of laptops.
  In my case it worked!

• Qosmio G30-140 - Console problems on new install XP MCE Raid utility

  I just bought a Toshiba Qosmio G30-140 of second hand. It has 2 hard drives and I tried to install windows 7 with great difficulty due to the raid driver... I managed to cmplete installation and travels account that half the utilities would not work in compatibility mode... Solution, I decided to re install the original Windows XP Media Center Edition, as I didn't have the original disks, I had many days of trial and error downloading different versions to work on my system... FINALLY, I GOT THE RIGHT ONE...

  Here's my question:

  I want to set up my machine to use the 2 drives in RAID mirror in case of data corruption, although I tried to install the RAID utility using the restore disc, I had created before embarking on this mission - suicidal

  IT WILL NOT BE INSTALLED, AND CONTINUES TO GIVE ME THE SAME ERROR OVER AND OVER AGAIN, EVEN IF I AM LOGGED ON ADMINISTRATOR
  error message is "("TOSHIBA RAID Service"Service [kraidsvc] could start. Make sure that sufficient privelages to start the services.) »

  I'm stuck and tried a lot of combinations, different and re-installed the OS twice, I am an administrator and possess these privelages. HELP :((

  Hi mate

  Installing the RAID driver could solve this problem...

  Also, I guess you used the right RAID settings in the BIOS.
  As far as I know, you can change the RAID option in the BIOS on the last page (3-3)
  RAID0 means stripping and RAID1 mirror you want to use.

  After changing the RAID parameters, you must confirm this insert the string 1,2,3,4 and enter.

  But note; After changing this you will need new OS install

• Qosmio G30 PQG31E - no driver XP 32? Cannot update the BIOS?

  As usual, obtained a computer laptop, but no recovery CD :(

  Got 32 installed XP (my Microsoft contract does not MCE) but a lot of missing drivers. Driver Toshiba page has all the drivers for XP MCE, XP 32 has only BIOS update, Bluetooth, HD - DVD firmwares, the virtual sound and drivers WI - FI!

  So I tought "Vista on this issue", but I checked the compatibility XP with Vista DVD I got a 'need to update the BIOS' (always a 1.40-2006/03/10)!
  My problem is that BIOS update always returns "this computer is not supported! Laptop has only one account, this isn't permissions problem, perhaps because many drivers are not present? Can I update the BIOS in safe mode?

  What now? Am stuck with a brick of Qosmio? Without controllers LAN to say the least, I can't not fact! Drivers XP MCE does work on XP 32?

  Any thoughts?

  Hello

  I found all the Win XP drivers for Qosmio G30 PQG31E!
  On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the Win XP MCE drivers
  XP MCE drivers are the same drivers for Win XP Home or Pro.

  There are also some BIOS 3, 90-WIN and this BIOS is operating system independent. In other words, it works with Win XP and Vista...

  To update the BIOS the common Module must be installed
  You can find also on the European driver Toshiba page!

• Qosmio G30-153 too slow during installation

  Hello people,

  My Qosmio G30-153 takes too much time to install normal programs/software. For example, it took me over 3 hours to install Office XP! -C' is ridiculous. Also it stucks in the first 4 "bars" when I try to install Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. It stucks on the "new" copy files Please what can I do to fix this? -Is that someone has this kind of a problem?

  I should send it for service?

  For now, I want to install dreamweaver 8 and install 9 hours now. That's half of the process. This is too MUCH fraustrating! Does anyone know how to fix this?

  Hi Vasilias

  That s is amazing! You need 9 hours to install a simple web application!
  It's very strange and I would first say that there must be a hardware malfunction

  But did you install all the applications 3rd? What about the CPU usage? Open the Task Manager and check if there is no strange background on the laptop running process
  Have you checked for some malicious software system?

  You defragment the HARD disk? Please also start the 'chkdsk' for the HARD disk check

• 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!

  Thank you

• Qosmio G30-201: can I play HD movies with different region code

  Hi I have a laptop Qosmio G30-201 with the HD inside player. This area of the playback of movies HD 1 or is it stuck on region 2.
  Is not blocked is it possible to unlock it to play movies from all regions.
  This unit was purchased in the United Kingdom.

  Thanks Steve

  Hello

  As much as I know HD-DVD movies do not support region codes.
  Support is free region code and that's why I think you should be able to watch a HD-DVD movie, BUT you need a DVD player special as WinDVD8 example

• Qosmio G30 - 10F - need mainboard partnumber

  Hello

  I need to reference my motherboard, because it is defective and I want to replace the motherboard.
  and my dealer wants the right partnumber to find the right spare parts.

  But I can't find the reference to the Board of Directors, one and only one i found is:
  + A5A001964 / 030 A0 / C074AGOT +.
  + Model: Qosmio G30-10 +.
  + PQG32E-03903NGR +.
  + S/N: 47816895 +.

  And my dealer said, the partnumber resembles this example: P000462640

  Thank you

  As far as I know Toshiba service partner has this info. They have access to Toshiba of database and that you can check this. As much as I know that Toshiba has offered two platforms for the Qosmio G30, so it is very important for you to get the motherboard for PQG32E.

  I mean if you have this number, you can order only and you don't need some special shopping.
  Try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
  It's really not easy to help you with this.

  And Yes. Part number is something like K000xxxx.

• Qosmio G30 (PQG31) - problem with cloned hard drives

  Hi all!

  * Qosmio G30-154 * (* PQG31 *).

  Demo of the Qosmio has 2 hard drives with XP MCE (32 bit) installed on the primary.
  The RAID parameters are JBOD.
  BIOS is "newer" 3.90

  I would try to upgrade the drives (without installing any OS) and... have a problem!
  BSOD "Stop 0x0000007B" after 'clone with resizing' for the main HARD disk.

  I read on [drivers Toshiba RAID | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=48489] also [how to integrate the AHCI driver when installing Windows XP | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm] and (or)
  [SATA and AHCI Intel Matrix Storage Management Software: "the installation program found no hard disk units installed in your computer" Error Message during Manual Installations | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7B020R0000R01.htm], but I don't want to install OS, I want to keep intact my OS work.
  F6 (for all usb drivers) is not available to boot OS, sorry.

  "cloned" drive is in line with the correct name of made in the BIOS. "Cloned" secondary drive works (with old primary school). How to get access to the new primary OS and loading cloned? Please, any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that the system cannot boot to the new HARD disk as the partition where the system is installed, was not marked as bootable system partition.

  I recommend to insert the previous HARD drive and to start the laptop.
  HARD drive new, cloned could be connected as an external HARD drive to a USB port.

  Then you should go to disk management (right click my computer - manage-> management-> disk management computer)
  Here you can see the HARD internal disk and the 2nd HARD drive connected to the USB port
  Right-click on the partition (2nd HARD drive) where the Win XP has been installed and choose the partition as the system partition and mark it as active.

  Then you could change the HARD drive again and could power the device in place. Usually, the system should boot to the top of the new marked system partition.

• Qosmio G30-155: video Capture does not work using s-video in port

  Toshiba Qosmio G30-155 video capture does not work via the ports of the video (Windows Vista Ultimate x 86) victory of version 3.90 BIOS
  Video capture does not work in Windows Media Center, even if selected as ports of entry port composite or s-video in Windows Media Center settings.

  In the BIOS version 3.90 parameters via esc - F1 can only select this option: NTSC (USA), NTSC (Japan), PAL (S-video).

  It is worth noting that the laptop is supposed to be capture NTSC for composite input mode

  Someone turned to make this model of video capture for laptop, via composite video input with the new version of the BIOS (version 3.90 win)?

  Can you please explain what you want to do exactly?

  Many years ago I had this old Qosmio with TV tuner and antenna in port so I used it to transfer my old VHS format videos and burn movie DVDs.

  To this end, I didn't use Windows Media Center. Why you n t use other recording applications. I think that everyone is better than Windows Media Center.

• Qosmio G30 212 - English recovery CD

  I'm looking for links to download the CD recovery for my Qosmio G30-212, but in English instead of French (which I have now).
  Does anyone know where to find CDs?
  Any help is welcome ;-)

  Hello

  You can order the recovery of the AEP CD in your country. But I guess that you will not be able to order in English. You can only buy the same recovery CD that came with the laptop and it was a French language.

  What you could do is to install the original CD of Microsoft English Windows and then install the drivers of Toshiba of the page.

• Qosmio G30-204 starts with BSOD

  Hello

  I have a toshiba Qosmio G30-204. It crashed last Friday night, I tried everything since then, including the system recovery disk, nothing seems too much work between the blue screen and a matrix effect in the back round (broken lines going down the screen) so that I erased two hard drives. Nothing seems to work, also tried safe mode and boot into normal windows.

  In the course of the process, I came across a message, if an additional disk came with it! to put it in now. A single disc that I can remember. Any help would be much appreciated, because I now get only a blue screen with the stop 0xoooooo7E (followed by other numbers)

  Thank you once again, Marty

  I got the message?
  You aren't able to recovery of the laptop using the recovery disk?

  Hmm looks like hardware problem
  The described broken lines going down the screen resembles a graphics card problem
  What happens if you turn on the device and go to the BIOS?
  The BSOD is always appear?
