• RAID 0/1 support on Qosmio G40-129

  As far as I know the RAID options are offered on laptops with preinstalled Toshiba RAID Utility.
  With this tool, you can choose between two options:
  -RAID 0 stripping
  -mirroring RAID 1

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that Toshiba do not offer this tool for Qosmio G40 and I'm afraid that's not possible on your laptop.
  This tool is preinstalled on your computer?

• Qosmio G40 cooling fan problem

  Hello everyone I bought international student G40. Nearlly got about half of the year.

  I recentlly that are there is a problem with my G40, I usually wear my G40 in the library or at my place one friend, once I took G40 out of the bag and put on the desktop and turn on, the CPU fan appears nosiy.
  It's kinda like the frame of the cooling fan is changed in movement, but it will be gone in a very short time, around 2 or 3 minutes.

  AFAIK fan it's perfect job, just at the moment where I take it to another place and turn off and it appears as follows.

  Anyone found this before, does anyone has idea what's going on with my G40?

  Sorry, but I have never heard something like that. When you carry your laptop somewhere is the laptop turned off properly or maybe sleep/hibernation mode?

  Hi, I have updated the bios to version 1.70, I updated the version 1.13 VAP. Now it is impossible for me to launch the HWsetup utility, I have this message: an unsupported operation was attempted, and pc diagnostic tool displays a white screen. What can I do? Thank you very much!

  Hello

  I'm afraid that you can't do much. As far as I know this update allows PPV than flash cards (when you press the FN key) move a lot faster than before. Of course, this new version kills other applications. I can imagine someone Toshiba noticed that the same and the new update will be available soon.

  In the meantime you can try reinstalling both is not working tools solution.

• Qosmio G40-10 s: graphics card problem

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G40 laptop 10s with a Nvidea 8600 M GT grafixs card. I was playing a game when it locked up and pasted what I would describe as flashing red/green 'Matrixy' search screen.

  He then a blue screen and trys to reeboot.
  He tries to start windows, but once again the top matrix. If it loads to the top, it is in 16 bit color with red dots all over the screen.

  I am sure that the GPU is fried... and I was wondering what I can do? It's been 5 months out of warranty now.

  I read on some forums that there have been a lot of problems with this Nvidea card... Is there anything I can do outside my warranty period with what there is a possibly faulty card in it from the beginning.

  It will cost a lot of money to get it repaired, but its too good a laptop to let go to waste.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  Hello

  You also have these lines on an external monitor?
  If so, there seems to be a graphics card problem and it must be replaced.

  These overheating problems also occur if you use the nVidia display drivers directly. Toshiba drivers are pre-tested and don't overheat your system.

  But I think you need professional help. You should contact an authorized service provider and talk to the technicians. They will help you! :)

• Problem with BRIGHT. EXE in QOSMIO G40

  Hello and Hello,

  I'm a new user here at the forum, and I hope I'm posting in the right place :).

  I just purchased a Qosmio G40 well in March and I'm very happy with it, but 3 days ago, I noticed a problem with it, the BRIGHT program. EXE, that controls the brightness of the flat screen does not work (well, it stoped working), when I press the button in the Panel frontal operational, or use the FN + F6 or F7 combination, this does not work, windows indicates that the BRIGHT program. EXE gave an error but does not specify what error.

  Does anyone have an idea why this happens and how to solve?

  Best,
  Ricardo

  That's the problem! If you want to use the system restore then all settings (settings of operating system, installed programs, registry changes, etc.) will be defined at the point of time at the beginning!

  This means that you lose the programs that were installed after the restore point created!

  But it should solve your BRIGHT. Number of the EXE!

• Problems on Qosmio G40 - 12U on Driver genius use of

  Hello!!

  This is my first post here. So Hello everyone!

  I recently purchased a Qosmio G40-12 U. It's a great laptop!

  But I'm having a problem that I installed the Software Driver Genius to update the drivers and so forth and once updated packages Intel that I can't start the laptop without connecting it to the wall outlet. I can unplough the laptop and still work until the empty battery, but if I turn it off it I cannot turn back unless I plug to the power outlet.

  Could someone help me?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  As much as I know this software is not supported by Toshiba and I believe that no one can explain with certainty what the problem is here. The fact is that all compatible drivers are tested and they will not work correctly.

  So my opinion is that you should return to the Toshiba factory settings.

• Qosmio G40 - how to reconfigure the keys above the keyboard?

  Since the upgrade to Windows7, the buttons on the top of my G40 (TV, multimedia, Rec, Dolby, etc) don't work anymore. When I click on one, a pop-up window appears asking me to set up the button.

  Now, I've changed a single button to task wrong.

  (1) how can I change this back?
  (2) how can I get functions return when moving the cursor to the top of the screen (does not work either)

  THX

  Hello

  I think that you don t have to reconfigure the keys, you just need new version of Toshiba Value added Package which controls the multimedia keys.

  I checked the website of Toshiba Qosmio G40 and Windows 7 and there is a newer version that is compatible with Windows 7:

  It seems the newer version 1.2.40

• 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.

• WiFi in Qosmio G40 module

  I need to remove (not swith off) WiFi module of Qosmio G40. Can I do this and how?

  Can I ask why you want to do?

  You have Wifi problems?

  The reason why I ask for m is simply; the wireless network card seems to be hidden somewhere under the keyboard.
  To remove the Wlan card keyboard must be removed in the first place. But this would nullify your warranty period.

  So in my opinion it s not advisable to remove this.

  I have another idea. If you want to disable the wireless network adapter, then you could do it in Device Manager.

  See you soon

• 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.

• Qosmio G40 - no webcam with live Messenger

  Hello world

  I installed Win 7 on my Qosmio G40 instead of Vista and everything work fine except the webcam that does not work with live Messenger (only) no matter what I do (I tried several drivers, re-installed Win messenger live, close some processes, etc ;) I get this error message:

  '* Cannot start your webcam. "Check if it is not used by another program and retry."

  What the hell can I do to fix this?

  Hello

  I read a lot of discussions about the problems with webcam and messenger Ms.
  The problem with Vista has been resolved by the SP1 from Microsoft Update.
  Now, it seems to be that the same problem with Win 7 looks like a thing of compatibility

  However, because the message says that the webcam is used by another application, I suppose that some background processes lock the webcam

  You must remove webcam and messenger MS startup in msconfig.
  After that, restart the laptop and don t start the webcam software if you want to use it in Messenger from Ms.
