• Qosmio G40 - 10Z - possible CPU upgrade?

  What processor can I put my Qosmio G40 - 10Z? I couldn't find a list and the motherboard is a "motherboard Toshiba" without a template or similar.
  I would like to change to a better processor, a quadcore would be well, is - it possible?

  My Windows 7 tells me to change the battery, but the battery is ok. Google says its due to Windows and could be solved by the BIOS updated. I have the newest
  Official home page. There is no latest BIOS available?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I doubt that the CPU upgrade would be possible. You should read this article:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  This error message is it exactly that you get Windows 7? Normally you get only a low battery notification, you need to Exchange or connect the power supply.

• Qosmio G40 - Intel Turbo Memory issue on Windows 7

  The Intel Turbo Memory does not work in my Qosmio G40 Windows 7. I tried different ways to install the drivers but only the work of the Intel Matrix Storage Console.

  If I try to install the full Pakage Robson, the material remains marked as a problem in the Device Manager and the computer crashes every time he goes into mode 'sleep'.

  Is there a way around this, or should I disable this feature (which was working under Vista before)? thanx

  Hello

  This feature isn t so important because he doesn't make a strong performance gain, but in your case I would try to update the BIOS. Maybe it will work or let's say that the computer goes into mode 'sleep' correctly again. The latest version, you can download the Toshiba site.

  What Intel driver, you have exactly? Have you tried the Toshiba site?

• Qosmio F20-136: Question about upgrade memory

  I purchased a Qosmio F20-136 with 512 MB of on-board RAM, but wanted to update, so bought additional 512 MB RAM (DDR2) for a total of 1024 RAM.

  I said global PC sales guy I wanted only if the laptop has two slots.

  I took the cap of the other week and only 1 slot is visible to the naked eye.

  I do not go any further.

  Does anyone know if there are two slots or that one meaning that I have to buy a bar of 1 GB DDR2?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  The Qosmio support two memory locations, and it should be possible to use 2 sticks of memory. You can upgrade the memory for max 2048 MB (2x1024Mo).
  The locations of memory, you will find at the bottom of the unit. To remove the small cover that secures the slot. Also see the user manual. You should also find a detail.

  PS: These modules of memory are supported:

  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

• Qosmio G40-108: Question about CPU upgrade

  Dear friends, I am an Italian man who asks if it is possible to change the CPU (T7700) of my Qosmio g40-108 with the new T9300 (like USA G45-AV690)

  All the best
  David

  Hi david

  Please understand that mobile technology is completely different Office of PC technology and motherboards are all just different.
  Upgrading the CPU's especially not possible or very risky for other reasons.

  A main reason could be overheating; as you know the stronger CPU would produce more heat and this could lead to a higher temperature and finally to overheating...

  In addition you BIOS was not configured for other processors so it possible s that your laptop does not start after such update!

  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 G40-12 s is not booting

  Recently my Qosmio G40 had a blue screen and poured out the physical memory, it took so long, I remember he stopped at 75%, then I restarted the laptop and came with the Qosmio logo, I spent my finger, certified, shows hdd1 unlocked and hdd2 unlocked and that is where it stops, never been spent there.

  I hooked the due to another system, but do not initialized because it is locked. Now I cannot access my information and cannot use my system.

  Please I need emergency aid. Thanks for the reply

  Hi John,.

  So for the time being, you are not able to start Windows, right?

  You can access the Windows Advanced Boot menu if you press the F8 key? If Yes, select Safe mode and try to start Windows.

  Additionally, make sure that both hard drives are recognized in the BIOS correctly. If Yes and Windows doesn t it starts, looks like that you have to do a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility because Windows is confused upward and can start to t.

• 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 G40-10 s - driver software for device has not been installed successfully

  I get a message...
  Software device driver has not been installed successfully.
  Memory PCI controller... failed

  Is this a problem with my laptop or software that has been loaded. Now on Windows 7 32 bit Vista

  Hi spudcam,

  This means that for the memory controller PCI is no driver installed?

  Well, it is difficult to say which driver you need exactly and Windows 7's official is not compatible with the Qosmio G40.

  AFAIK memory PCI controller is Intel Turbo Memory module, so you would need Robson package driver of the official website of Toshiba.
  Now, I looked on the page of Toshiba and guess what, it s is available for G40 and Windows 7. :)

• Qosmio G40 - infrared chipset not detected by Windows 7

  I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista and found that my infrared chipset (SMSC SIO1049 SuperIO chip) does not appear in Device Manager.
  According to this page, it should appear as an unknown driver (ACPI\SMCB0C0)
  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd567986.aspx

  The IR remote control provided by Toshiba does not work (it used to work fine under Vista). All the world had the same problem B4? How to fix you (if you resolved at all)?

  Does this mean that Ineed to wait for the next update of the BIOS (my BIOS version is 2.20)?

  My computer is a Qosmio G40 PQG40 02201NCE.

  Hello

  If the device is not visible in the Device Manager, not even as an unknown device, then this means that the device does not exist or was not detected by the BIOS.

  Usually, the infrared receiver must be visible in the Device Manager under:
  Human interface devices - > infrared receiver SMSCIR

  In system devices, you should see the device consumer infrared.

  Don't forget that you have enabled devices hidden sow option perhaps of Device Manager, then you might see this

  Please also check the BIOS
  I'm not very well if the infrared device option would be listed in the BIOS, but you should check it m

• Qosmio G40-127 - need windows XP drivers

  Hello.

  I just got my new Qosmio G40 and I want to install Windows XP Pro / Media center on this issue. I know it's possible, but I want to know wich drivers to use in order to operate correctly. I already had drivers laptopvideo2go nvidia, realtek, and chipsetdrivers. I need webcam, wireless lan, TV tuner, etc..

  Y at - there anyone out there who have a Qosmio G40-127 and made a WXP install and know where to find these drivers? I don't have not upgraded anything but RAM to 4 GB. Otherwise, it is like new.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You are right. The XP drivers are not available at this time on the Toshiba driver page. I didn't find it too. Looks like we have to wait...

  But listen;
  There are some XP drivers for another Qosmio series; G30 for example.
  You can try to install these unique pilots because many laptops are equipped with the same features and drivers may work too.

  The WLAN driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba WLan Portal:
  http://APS.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  like driver BT:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

  The LAN driver can be downloaded from the Intel page because as far as I know LAN chip is an Intel 82566MC(Nineveh MC)

  Best regards

• 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!

• Upgrade memory on an all in a single LX830

  I may upgrade the 4 GB provided to meet the requirements of the program. Additional memory needs to be installed in pairs? The existing 4 GB occupies a dwelling, can I mount 8 GB in another location or it will be incompatible?

  Well, mainly upgrade memory depends on the support of the chipset/CPU.

  Not quite sure what computer Toshiba LX830 do you have exactly but as far as I know the L830 all in one units would support up to 16 GB of RAM.

  A property used by a 4 GB RAM module and housing is free.
  This is why it must be able to use another additional module of 8 GB RAM.

  But of course, another module of 8 GB RAM should be compatible with the current 4 GB of RAM.
  Otherwise, you will get some compatibility issues
