  No, the graphics card can not be upgraded

  What you can do, it is memory and the upgrade of the HARD drive. This should be very easy and should cause no serious problems.

  Upgrading CPU is little tricky.

  Hello

  The L100 shipped with the Intel Celeron M (Dothan) 360 1.4 GHz FSB 400 CPU. Am I wrong?

  You should check the chipset available! I think that it s an Intel 945 PM but I m not 100% sure.
  On the Intel page, you should find the chipset specifications and might know what s CPU not the chipset supports.

  The outlet plug is very important! A CPU with socket of evil cannot be installed on the Board! But to my knowledge, the l100 motherboard supports socket 478.

  In any case, upgrading the CPU is not easy, very risky and NOT advisable. First of all, you will lose your warranty and then the laptop could run not stable due to overheating!

• Qosmio G40-108 does not start

  Hi Gang

  I hope that there is some good buddies out there that can save a window double glazing to be mullared by that lappy.
  I had (Qosmio G40-108 with 4 GB of RAM) since August 2007. Everything was fine until two weeks about where it kept crashing during the execution of a couple normal progs that I use.
  After reading several messages from buddies with similar problems, I think it might be the PCI express graphics. Is this good? I can swap out? Or advice, blaggs, ideas or suggestions are very welcome. :)

  * Do not forget: there is always someone worse off than you... *.

  What exactly happens?
  Your Qosmio freezes simply and you must turn off or switches off without any warning messages?

• A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

  Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
  I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

  * Some info first.*

  CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
  Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

  * Questions.*

  1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

  2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

  3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

  > 1. My frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

  The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
  If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

  > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
  The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

  > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

  It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
  But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.

• What are the differences between Qosmio G40-108 V G40 - 12 c?

  I think to treat me to a new laptop.
  I got through the purchase of a Qosmio G40-108, because they seem to be the special offer
  But I discovered that there is a new due notebook, G40 - 12 c available end of February.

  Q. is there an update on the G40-108 due even time or I would be better to just buy a G40-108 now?

  Dave.

  Hello

  It depends on you how much money you want to spend. I mean that the difference between the-108 and-12 c, is-108 has a more powerful CPU (T7700) and a larger hard drive.
  But the basic technique, the machines should be similar.

  You have to choose yourself, but in all cases, you can buy the same maybe more or less powerful machine... :)

• Qosmio G40-108-dvd/video playback quality

  You just bought the Qosmio G40 - 108 loaded with Vista Ultimate. EAD all reports and went for the superb view report. I am very disappointed by the quality of playback on DVD and avi (divX, Xvid, h264). The colors are bland bland and not all that sharp.

  Compared to my Toshiba 3 year, mid-range machine running Windows XP Home edition, it is pretty poor. I did not test anything.

  Am I missing something or is it the fault of Vista. I tried to load Windows XP Home edition, but could not because it came with the message "blocked" since WXP is a downgrade. Can anyone help? Please, I beg you.

  Hello James

  I'm really surprised that your question is marked as replied. You have the solution to the problem described? Please let us know everything is OK now and I hope that you will be able to watch DVDs.

• Qosmio G40-108 - prevent recovery of product disc ask to insert the disc

  I have a Qosmio G40-108 and it works fine even if the disc is not read discs any longer, perhaps because of a motherboard failure that I replace the disk with a new of brans and it still does not work, but my problem is the following... I have the product recovery disc, I tried to copy it to a USB key and reinstall the OS from USB and the start of software loading a page with the logo Toshiba asking to insert the recovery disk into drive F: I can't use is more like it's broken. How can I prevent the disc from asking to insert the disk into drive F:? There are lines on the laptop recovery disk to install the USB without using the disc?

  I managed to install a generic Windows Vista 32 bit downloaded from a Web site and my serial key works with it, but I really want to reinstall the original software
  P.S. Recovery of product is for Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and just in case there is also a serial number of the disk GMR400766ENG

  I don't have any experience with this, but I found an interesting article on creating recovery USB - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm

  Maybe you'll be able to create the USB stick recovery. Check it out.

• Qosmio G40 - 108 Recovery DVD necessary

  Hello. I have a Qosmio G40-108. Unfortunately, my recovery DVDs was damaged and now I need to restore my machine. I ordered a Toshiba 5 weeks and they cannot always tell me when I go to receive a.

  If there is someone who might well want to get a copy of this I will be grateful. I'll gladly pay for it.

  Concerning
  Martin

  Hello

  This forum is not a trading market!

  I imagine that for the moment the G40 recovery CD is not available and the authorized service provider ordered the warehouse of head of Toshiba Recovery CD.
  It takes a little longer.

  But if you want you can install the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows and all the necessary drivers Toshiba you will find on the European driver Toshiba page!

  Good bye

• Qosmio G40-108: bad quality video/DVD playback

  I have new Qosmio G40 108 loaded with Vista Ultimate and am very disappointed with the quality of video/DVD playback compared to the older machines loaded with XP. Seems insipid depth bland, not really the color and not too strong. I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!

  What is Vista's fault? You want to try XP but blocks me when I boot with XP disc in. I would like to run the two to see if there is a difference. (Sorry to all if this appears as message repeated hurry but bad touches earlier - starting!)

  I don't have a notebook, G40 but I use the Vista OS and I must say that the video and the quality of the DVDs is great!
  Don't know what DVD software you use, but I use the WinDVD and Windows Media Player. Two applications provide the same quality.

  > I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!
  According to your own statement I don't think that there is something wrong with the Qosmio G40 laptop because you have the same opinion on the other non-toshiba computer.

  PS; I wonder why you start always different threads on the same topic:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=107067#107067

  However, if you wish, you can test the XP if the same phenomenon occurs with other OS.

• Qosmio X 300-130 PQX32E - CPU upgrade question

  Hello

  I'm thinkink of upgrading my CPU TOSHIBA QOSMIO X 300 - and searching the net I found that this is the most powerful processor can I upgrade to [Intel® Core 2 Extreme Processor QX9300
  (Cache de 12 Mo, 2,53 GHz, BUS frontal à 1 066 MHz,)]

  so before you buy it I decided to ask here if someone did, and if it is really compatible

  My current setting

  Type of processor Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 2400 MHz
  Bus Type Intel AGTL +.
  CHIPSET: Intel Cantiga PM45
  Intel Montevina Platform

  Hello

  Updates are not officially supported
  But you can read here on the forum about updates and in many cases, the CPU upgrade was possible

  Always is there to check the compatibility of the chipset
  If the chipset would be compatible with the new processor, you've got a good chance to get it running

  The question is: would the BIOS supports the new processor?
  Answer is not easy because there is no information on the supported processors.

  Here are the details of Intel on the chipset:
  http://Ark.Intel.com/products/chipsets/35515

  Under compatible products, you can find the processors supported
  It looks like the Intel® Core 2 Extreme Processor QX9300 (2.53 GHz, front side bus at 1066 MHz, 12 MB Cache) is supported by the chipset

• Qosmio F50 - 108 b - issue of upgrade hardware

  Hello!

  I have the Qosmio F50-108 b. I am considering buying the new processor for my pm45 chipset, but I can't find information about my support for the cpu bios. I stopped the Q9100... its very very fast. The chipset support, but what the BIOS? I think that to give a chance to the ddr3 memory, so I buy two Privateers 4 GB ddr3 1333, which I suppose to work normally on 1066... Maybe a little more if I can clock the FSB: P.

  BTW I have successfully recorded video (9700M GTS) of 540 clock 1325 shader 799 mhz to 690 memory memory clock 1700 shader 1040 Central. Just be sure to clean your computer from inside well so that the heat will not stop you: P

  You know more about its use at these frequencies? I hope the laptop takes care of everything? Advice please on future updates to this subject :)

  > The chipset support, but what about the BIOS?

  This is not mentioned on any page of Toshiba which I could find in the internet ;(
  But I guess you would have a good chance using a CPU that is taken in charge by the chipset, but it's my personal opinion

  In addition, I found this doc from Toshiba:

• Qosmio G40 - 10Z: Question on the use of energy in sleepmode

  When I turn my new Qosmio G40 - 10Z in sleep mode, with a full battery (and AC power off), I can't start the next computer. I can only start it up after connecting to power alternative. I get a windows message that Vista has not been closed properly and I wonder to start in safe mode or normal mode.

  After starting the battery shows only 2% of the power. So, what is using power in sleep mode? Why is it not the way "sleep" not transferred into the State of hibernation when the battery is almost empty?
  (New workbook, only vista and installed office and TV antenna is connected)

  > Ok, energy consumption in sleep mode is a problem: it takes about 20 hours before the battery is empty: is it a normal use of power in sleep mode?

  Well, it s nothing unusual that the battery loses power while the laptop is in hibernation or standby.
  If the WOL option (wake up on LAN) is enabled in the BIOS the LAN card use battery power all the time long.

  For more information, check this:
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB6B01N50013R01.htm

  Regarding the sleep mode to crash: trying to upgrade Vista to the last State.
  Go to the Microsoft page and download all the patches and fixes!
  In addition, check if the BIOS update is available.
  If so, try to update the BIOS, but be careful. The bad BIOS or bad update may damage the jury!

• Question about MSD + upgrade and migration applications

  Hi all

  I am running:

  TMS 13.2

  TMSPE 1.0

  The two co reside on a Windows 2003 server, pointint in an external box of SQL.

  We also organize TCX 2.3 on our Exchange.

  Now that our server guys have * finally * installed the service pack required on the Exchange, we are ready to migrate to TMSXE but also to upgrade the TMS and TMSPE.

  So we want ot go to:

  TMS 14.2.1

  TMSPE 1.1

  TMSXE 3.1

  In addition to migrate a Windows server 2008R2 TMS + TMSPE.

  I know the different individual guides to upgrade as well as the dependencies between TMS and TMSPE/TMSXE versions.  I'm hoping to do the upgrade and migration all in one and am hoping to get some tips on the best order to do everything.

  My first question - decomission the 13.2/TMSPE server 1.1 TMS, that I can install TMS 14.2.1 and TMSPE 1.1 on the Windows Server 2008, they point to the relevant databases and allow upgrading from there? Or do I need install the new versions TMS/TMSPE on the old server, first of all, upgrade the databases and then migrate?

  Second question - before all this, I run the TMSXE migration tool to extract the data 2.3 TCX, uninstall TCX of Exchange, TMS upgrades and then install TMSXE 3.0/3.1 at the end?

  As all this is running on the virtual machine I'll instant just in case.  Advice on the issues listed above, or general advice about these upgrades would be appreciated

  Hi Nick, IMHO, I suggest you first migrate your 2.3 TCX to TMSXE 3.0.2 by this TMSXE 3.0 installation guide, and then pass the TMS and PE later.

  Yes, VM snapshot backup option before any upgrade is fine.
