• PCI Express Error - Qosmio G40 - 10Z

  I immediately started searching the Web that could be this error and I discovered that it is a known problem with some Toshiba laptops.

  Some of the many topics that I found about this error.

  I bought my laptop model from January 2009 as a demo in a Dutch shop called Qplaza http://www.qplaza.nl/

  Don't think I have any warranty next to security,) I received store (2 years), but there are a few things I don't understand.

  As I understand it, it's that there is even a lawsuite on this problem and that it indeed was a problem with chips from nvidia 8600. But then why won't Toshiba or Nvidia fix laptops with these problems?

  I read my laptop have to go to the special repair service to replace my motherboard and I have to pay for myself.
  And that's IF they can fix my laptop.

  I started searching the Internet which could be the cost of price, but the answers don't make me a very happy woman :-(

  Is there another way to solve this problem?
  And are there not places where you can buy a very appropriate motherboard for this laptop?

  Can someone help me please? My laptop worked perfectly and without any warning... poof... can not run more.

  Hello

  I can understand that you are not happy with the current situation. Nobody is happy if the computer starts to malfunction, but it of not always easy to tell which is the reason. For the exact diagnosis, you need professional tools and these tools available only to an authorized service provider.

  I get bored in your ad information is information about the operating system. Are you using the version preinstalled Windows and you have already collected your notebook back to factory settings? If not, you should do this to make sure that it s no software or driver that is causing the problem.

  If it still doesn't work you should get in touch with an authorized service provider and talk with the guys what they can do for you. I m, they can make you an offer for spare parts if you need them and a good price too of course. Just talk to the technicians is that as possible. ;)

• 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 G40-114 and "PCI Express error"

  My G40-114 QOSMIOI worked perfectly until yesterday.

  I now have a black screen with the message "PCI Express error" at startup. Screen is frozen, can't do anything.
  What is the origin of this problem? (I searched the Web and looks like it has something to do with the motherboard...).

  Is that what I can do by myself?

  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.

• Satellite A200 - I can boot from PCI express card?

  I have a laptop A200.

  I recently bought a PCI expresscard HD. Many people have asked this question already on many sites and regarding several different brands and models of laptops. According to anadtech and other techys the only way to do an ExpressCard hd is updated the BIOS. During the installation of Windows it says that it canoe on the device because the BIOS is not able to boot from it.

  Toshiba creates a new BIOS to allow starting the expresscard hd or not Toshiba have a laptop model that will allow already, as im thinking of buying a new laptop but only if this option is available.

  There someone using windows vista/xp knows a way round.

  Hello

  As far as I know it s not possible to boot from PCI express card on Satellite A200.
  In addition these books where you can boot from this slot are not known to me. Only the options HDD, CD/DVD, USB and network, but all that s.

  In addition, I put t know what you mean with PCI expresscard HD.
  Is what exactly?

• Tecra M9 - PCI Express Error at startup

  Hello everyone...

  I have a Toshiba Tecra M9 (PTM91E-04R03TEN)

  http://www.Toshiba.IE/innovation/JSP/supportMyProduct.do?service=IE#TAB0;

  Setting in motion,-wristwatch splach Toshiba and then "PCI Express error." screen on a black screen
  I can't get beyond this black screen
  and I can't get into the BIOS?

  Once that he managed to start completely, let him turn for a while I record information from the HARD drive. but then, the problem started again.

  In my view, that it is a problem with the nvidia GPU (in cycle Fatigue on the BGA) card
  I have the stripted computer laptop down... and bought ArctiClean thermal Pad, & Arctic Silver for "repair".

  Should I have someone analyze the material and find the troublemaker?... OR... should I just of reflow of the GPU.

  I'm technical interest... but not a PC / laptop technician: (..)
  any instructions on how to proceed would be received with gratitude...
  Can I just "bung it in the oven" and see how it goes? :) :) .

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I found and read your other post regarding this problem and in my opinion the PCI Express error is related to a PCI device (i.e miniPCI module as WLan / Bluetooth, etc.) connected to the motherboard.

  Of course I can't say for certain that this question isn't related to a GPU malfunction.
  Usually, these details can be provided only by a technician who checked the laptop's hardware.

  Usually I put t recommend to disassemble the laptop. It s very difficult to perform this procedure and of course there is always a risk of damage part do such procedure without any instructions.

• Qosmio G40 - 10F down arrow is triggered by itself

  Qosmio G40 - 10th down arrow seems to trigger by itself while booting and while I view web pages.

  The problem surface when I was accessing the web pages at the start of the screen to scroll down by himself.
  Before, I thought that the button may be pressed hard but when I looked at the issue through a senser key application to test what triggers the down arrow key press on and found that two or three other keys trigger arrow key down automatically.
  namely, in arrow, i key, key k, function keys.

  But when I press ESC or Page up/Page down, scrolling stops for a while but starts to make arrow down by itself again.

  I have re-installed and restored the entire operating system to the date of loading of the factory and the problem solved only for a few minutes and the issue is back.

  I am convinced that this is due to software problem and not a hardware problem, as the key works fine for a while and after a few minutes, begins to trigger arrow down permanently.

  Please advise,
  Thank you.

  Have you tried an external USB keyboard and then you have the same problem?

  I think that it s a hardware problem and the keyboard must be exchanged, but that before test with an external keyboard.

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

  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.

  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.

• Qosmio G40 - 120 Integrated TOSHIBA hybrid Analog/PCI DVB - T TV Tuner HOW to

  Hi everyone and thank you in advance for your help.
  I have a qosmio as in the subject with this hybrid tuner. This seems to work well, but the fact that the only software recognized as dual tuner is windows media center in vista ultimate oem supplied.
  Some other software which is cyberlink powercinema and mediaportal OpenSource can only dvb - t sintonize, other channels (for example virtualdub) see only the analog section of the tuner.
  Indeed, the problem is that the Media Center does not give me the ability to use the tuner at the same time to receive the analog channels and TNT. If I want to change from analog, dvb - t, or vice versa, I have to redo the hardware configurations :(
  So the only chance I have is to use two separate software.
  I'm doing something wrong? Is the ability to force another software to see the other part of the tuner (i.e. dvb - t for virtualdub) or analog-mediaportal? Is there a method to use media center in both directions without configuring again eveytime I change from analog to digital TELEVISION?

  Sorry my friend, I see no problem here and I think you have misunderstood something. As far as I know "hybrid" follow: 2 functions, but only one can be used.

  As much I know as Qosmio G40 has a TV in the port and how you want to use DTT and analog at the same time.

• 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.

  O thank you very much for all the advice

  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

  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.
