  Stand by. You have a problem with registration only or you aren't able to watch television at all?

  I did some experiments with Qosmio G30 and WMC and I was able to record all programs available. Because of this, I would like to know if you are able to watch the TV or not.

• Qosmio G40 - 10F: cannot use IRDA

  I recently received this Qosmio G40 - 10F and I read on the specifications for its IR. But infrared devices such as the transfer of my phone to the laptop does not work. There is no such IRDA device on Device Manager to activate. So I got the idea that I could check on the bios.
  But I do not have the bios boot.
  It is usually used to be the DELETE key on my computer but when I boot on the laptop, it does not indicate any key to boot to the bios.

  I would appreciate if I could get help at the start of the BIOS or set the IRDA settings on.
  Thanx

  I agree, esc should do the trick. :)

• Qosmio G40 - 10F: how conenct to the wide band of sky LAN

  I don't know anything about computers.
  I buy the G40 - 10F and get sky to wide band and they say that you need a spare ethernet on the computer.

  All I can find is RJ11 and RJ45 is the ethernet in a differnent name.
  If I can't do a link to broadband this portable ill save my money.

  Hello

  Don't worry man.
  Qosmio G40 supports all ports that are important in establishing the sky broadband.
  The RJ45 is the Ethernet port; known as port Lan ;)

  You can connect the modem to broadband from sky to this port using the LAN cable just ;)

  Hoe I could specify what ;)

• Qosmio G40 - 10F - extra hard drive

  Hello

  I have recently purchase a G40 thinking it was x 2 of physical drives, it appears in this model there is only a single physical HD

  I read in many places, there is room for the G40-10 for a reader to additional disk placed inside the machine but this model seems to have simply a fixed cover but the space for the reader to be mounted

  Nobody knows of the back plate is removed and an additional hard drive caddy to store additional drive - it should be relatively simple with a heat dissipation and other I think all that is needed is the replacement carriage and connector cable SATA - x motherboard 2 recognisies readers

  All I really want to know is

  (1) is it possible
  (2) is - someone doing it
  (3) toshiba reference numbers for the caddy and for a G40 - 10F sata cables

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G30, but I saw G40 and if I remember, although in the lower corner, that there are two HARD drives covers. Two of them are placed close to the battery, and they have one, how to say, plastic circle. AFAIK the G40 is offered with one or two hard drives. The first HARD disk is placed inside fixed with a screw. One extra is placed under the second HARD drive cover fixed with two screws.

  I don't really know if your G40 is extensible, but you can contact the service provider authorized in your country. They have access to the database of Toshiba and they can check it for you. Part number is usually internal case and it is not easy to find number of exact part for these additional parts like the drive bracket HARD or cables.

  Make a call and pick up information on the possibility of upgrade HARD drive.
  One last thing: try to remove the cover for the second HARD drive and check if the HARD drive connector is there.

• I want to install Win XP on Vista on Qosmio G40 - 10F - need drivers

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G40-10th which has Windows Vista.
  I want to switch to Windows XP but worry about what drivers I need and where can I get them?

  Also, I wonder if XP installation means that I would be able to use the Vista recovery disk I got with the Qosmio.

  Any help is very appreciated,

  Kind regards

  EOC

  Hello

  Go to the Toshiba driver page:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  And check if you have the drivers for win xp for your model, otherwise, it will be useless to install it.

  For my laptop, I installed Vmware with windows xp inside environment.

• Problem with my Qosmio G40 - 10F BIOS

The computer stays on the screen of the icon. I disassembled my machine and removed the rtc battery it s been one day but he hasn t reset the bios by default.

  Someone at - it ideas? Is there a jumper / switch on the motherboard to reset MIPD? Y at - it a special key to press I don t know? Where ahould I hit him!

  Any help would be greatly appreciated I will be in serious trouble if I can t get my work I know that I have ahoukdnt have mapessed ith BIOS, but I assumed the worst I would be able to access and reset.

  O thank you very much for all the advice

  Phil

  Hello Phil

  Now, I found this interesting thread on your problem. What is find a solution?
  If nothing helps remove SSDS, set the BIOS settings by default (if you enter it again) and put the old HARD drive.

  General SSDs should be recognized correctly and there is not a big problem with these updates.

• Qosmio G40 - 10F: how to set up double Tv Tuner in Windows Media Center

  Hello

  I recently bought a 10th G40 and I was wondering how to set up dual Tv Tuner in Windows media Center to watch and record the Tv at the same time.
  I tried to download the new driver from the Toshiba download page, but it seems to make no difference that Media Center does not give me the ability to configure 2 tuners.

  Any help would be grateful

  Michael Bowen

  Hello

  Found this useful Microsoft page:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/footnotes.mspx

  Take a look at the chapter * M *-> on MCE

  You can find this info:
  + Reading and TV recording features require a USB TV tuner or external. Supports up to two TV tuners +.

  So in my opinion, you cannot record TV and watch another channel at the same time using only the internal TV tuner.

• Should Qosmio G40 - 10F - we support a 12mm hard drive?

  I searched the internet for this, and I found a few sites say that it supports a hard drive of 12mm in its Bay, and others have said not that at all.

  "I just want confirmation that a 12mm of the 2.5 HDD", we can insert in the laptop, I want to upgrade to the new WD 1 TB 2.5 "HDD, but it is not the standard size of 9.5 mm and 12mm instead.

  Thank you

  According to the specifications of the laptop FUJITSU G8BC0003K251 HARD drive for use with your laptop and the height of this disc is 12.5 mm HARD so I think that's not a problem to use the other HARD drive with the same height.

• Qosmio G40 - 10F won't boot up - PCI Express error

  I recently installed a windows update and the laptop came in restart mode.
  When the system boots it tries to start then I get a say black screen error PCI Express.

  I tried a system restore, but the disc does not start, also tried to access the bios and it does not work.

  Can I please ask for more help on this one because I don't have any problems at all, everything seems that a windows update has messed with my config in the bios.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  I can't believe that Windows update would affect the BIOS.

  In my opinion, this must be just bad luck.

  PCI Express error means generally that a PCI device on the motherboard has started to malfunction.

  This means that it could be a motherboard problem that could be solved by replacing the mobo

  Sorry man, but I think that you don't have a lot of options here... seems that Toshiba ASP technician should take a look at this question :(

• Qosmio G40 - 10F - graphics card problem

  I bought my laptop in 2007 and now have a problem with the video card 8600 m GT (vertical or horizontal lines show and get a message on the GPU).

  After reading a few similar posts, I think I have to replace the motherboard, rather than just the graphics card.

  My problem is that I don't know what motherboard I have or what I need to upgrade to.

  Can someone help me, because I'd like to get this operational return.

  Thanks in advance.

• Lately Firefox is no longer recognizing macros Macro Express and upper and down arrows do more work as it should.

  Macro Express works in all other browsers (and programs), but is no longer working in Firefox.

  The arrow pointing upwards and down arrow works in all other browsers, but in Firefox, instead of moving her down (or up) a line at a time, the page will move much, much down (or climb). The Page Up and Page Down buttons work only part of the time... If an arrow down (or up arrow) has been used, the arrows Page move the page but not one page upwards or downwards... lots of pages pointing upwards or downwards.

  If I need to revert to a previous version of Firefox, I'll do that. Please tell me how to work the way they need to work things out.

  Work again in Thunderbird too. I did nothing to fix it on my machine. It was weird.

• Qosmio G40 - update graphics card

  Hello world

  I know it works has already answered in October 2009, but I have a few not 100% course info on the upgrade of the graphics cards. Now I have a qosmio g40-10 with nvidia geforce 8600 with 512 video memory. Because this card is purely not enough for the high-end gaming today, I want to update at least 1 GB of video memory. Like many people here, I tried to find some information online but its just waste of time. I asked in each PC store in my town this topic and 60% of them responded that it is possible, but it will cost you so.

  They could not tell exactly witch card should take but logically it will be nvidia series that were used by Toshiba manufacter, what I'll do I will find some young model of Toshiba nvidia cards and will just try to adapt it. Logically that laptops Toshiba chassy is almost the same, of course mounting screws can be different, but ultimately, it's a project. The only problem is the motherboard, I heard that this motherboard is unable to accept certain graphics cards.

  If you have some info on this please let me know.
  Also different (highest card) coz, there will be cooling problem so if you have ideas to solve heating, please share it with me.
  Thanks much adrian

  Hello Adrian

  I guess that you know very well that the possibilities of upgrade on mobile units are very limited; especially GPU or CPU upgrade and laptop manufacturers offer don t any kind of support. Because of the design specific common problem for mobile units is cooling system. More performance means more heat and more heat, compromised of portable computer hardware switch or damage.

  Manufacturers of portable don t support cela and don offers t any helpful info about it. GPU upgrade in my opinion is not a good idea. OK, you can do with your laptop that you want and play a little bit, but I'm afraid that your project is too risky and will not end with success of m.

  If you need a more powerful computer I think it's time for the new portable computer with more powerful hardware. What you think so.
