  Do you know how to reduce noise?

  thx for the answers

  Hardware upgrade on laptops is not comparable with the workstations where you can upgrade almost everything. Mainly on laptops, you can improve RAM, WLAN, HARD drive or maybe BT but all that s.

  Update graphics card is definitely not possible because the graphics card is part of the motherboard. Update CPU's might be possible, but certainly not recommendable. The construction of any material is designed by technicians and configured to provide optimal use. If optimal use, you understand very good performance but without the possibility to destroy the material. The common problem on mobile computing is heat and how to cool the hardware components.

  The best graphics card and CPU using the material temperature is much higher and the result can be permanent running fan or just property damage. If you think about all this stuff, I hope you understand that this type of upgrade can be very risky.

  If you need to better and more powerful portable computer the best option is to sell your old and buy newer with the best hardware configuration.

• Qosmio F20-137: is there a Dockstation available?

  I scanned the site, but I could not find any information. It doesn't seem to be any way of contacting someone @ Toshiba to ask a simple question!
  I'm considering buying a Qosmio F20-137. As this point is purchased as a desktop replacement, I do not want to make the purchase, unless there is a Dockstation available for this model. So my question - is there a Dockstation available?

  Concerning
  Basil Brush

  Computers laptops Qosmio cannot be used with docking station. All attachable units have the bottom expansion port.

  Hello

  It makes sense to contact the ASP in your country, because you need two different parts compatible for the Qosmio F20-137.
  The authorized service provider may order directly the two parts of the Toshiba.

  The addresses and phone numbers, you might find in the global database of ASP;

  In the user manual, you will find a list of compatible media, which are tested and it works properly. Have you tried to burn at a slower speed?

• Qosmio F20-137: very noisy left speaker

  Just had the Qosmio F20 - 137 3 days. The left speaker or something in the chassis is teeming with some frequenzies in the sound. It is very annoying, especially since I bought this for multimedia application. Does anyone know if there is a reason known to the buzz?

  Hello

  All speakers usually begin to vibrate (for the buzz) if the bass is high.
  I think it s not a malfunction. You should check that the sound properties and you shouldn't t turn on maximum bass controller.

• Qosmio F20-137 - need Qosmio CD player

  Hi, I recently bought the laptop f20 - 137, but were not able to fully the product recovery needs (ex display, so loading of the store settings), I have not, however, make the Qosmio Player recovery disk, it has not been included in the box when I bought, nor has the product recovery, but I have now received a copy of this at Toshiba is there any where I can download the Qosmio Player to leave recovery?

  Thank you

  Hello

  He s strange because the Qosmio player recovery CD should be provided with the device.
  As far as I know, you should get this media:
  -Recovery media (CD or DVD)
  -QOSMIO recovery media player
  -Additional software CD
  -MS Works 8.0

  However, it should be possible to order all the CD at the Toshiba service partner in your country.

• Qosmio F20-137: WLan connection falls very quickly from 54mbs to 1mbs

  I connect to internet using my F20-137 via a linksys g wireless router.

  The router is in another room (25 feet and on two walls) for the laptop computer and the connection very quickly falls to 54mbs to 1mbs.
  Is it possible to maintain the speed of connection or is it because of the distance. An external wireless card help?

• Qosmio F20-137 - black screen - dead graphics card?

  I have a F20-137. The screen is blank and also the laptop can't seem to fly other views or through the output S-video. It is used to go back to work if you out the battery and you press the 'works' for a while. No idea why this worked!

  It's probably the graphics card no longer works? If Yes, where can I get replacement second-hand (I'm sure they cost more than the value of the laptop to buy new).

  David

  Hello

  It may be a malfunction of the graphics card or a motherboard controller. In both cases, you must replace that costs a lot of money. Sometimes it is better to buy second-hand or a new laptop

• Re: Qosmio F20-137 - after I installed Windows 7 I have no sound

  I installed Windows 7 on my Qosmio F20 and all the drivers have been installed by windows update after I connected to the Internet.
  I can play music and videon to files in Windows Media player, but there is no sound in speakers or if I connect the headphones.
  If I look on the driver for the sound in devicemanager he says that everything is OK. Does anyone know what is the problem?

  I also reinstalled Windows 7 but still the same problem.

  Kind regards
  Henrik

  Hi sta1n,

  Maybe the sound is muted... Check using the FN + ESC key combination that can toggle the sound.

  Also, check the page of Toshiba. Qosmio F20 taken Windows 7 isn't supported so that you can try the Vista driver.

• Billboard Qosmio F20 - 137 gone BLACK-nothing visible to all

  Hi guys
  Im having trouble with my Qosmio F20, I recently formatted my hard drive with a disc of recovery of the product I received from a friend. The disc is for another Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista.
  Everything worked fine when I formatted my HD using the usual disk except for similar-slow video playback that you get when you upgrade a F20 XP to Vista.

  I closed my laptop-tried to put it on 3 days later and that's where the problem-all lights normal except my screen, I noticed, it's completely black. I had the utility of windows password, I tried to enter the password on the black screen but nothing happens.

  HD only turns on for a second when I press the power button to turn on the laptop, it blinks not or anything after that.

  The Fn + F1 to F9 keys do not work due to the utility of password so I can't use safe mode.

  Please help me solve this problem, im really in love with my laptop.

  Thank you

  > I recently formatted my hard drive with a disc of recovery of the product I received from a friend. The disc is for another Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista.

  It was really a bad boyfriend... Do not use the recovery CD that was not designed for your notebook from the series!

  Is the restore CD contains an image file and this image file contains the operating system, drivers, tools and other programs.
  If you want to use incompatible drivers then it could affect the material of the laptops and the system performance... in the worst case the hardware may be damaged.

  But look, man, you should try to remove the HDD (HDD format) of the installed image and try to install an OS designed for you Toshiba Recovery CD from the series or you can use a clean Windows CD.
  Then you can check if this problem is only with the wrong software.

  But from your description, it could be a hardware problem. This does not sound good, and in this case, the ASP must check unit.

  Good luck

• Audio Software OR Traktor - freezes for about half a second because of Dual Core

  Hello

  I've been test Native Instruments Traktor DJ Studio 3 and very often the audio timeline would freeze for about half a second and the game continues. I also have a good low latency soundcard PCI card, so that does not these breaks.

  I managed to get rid of this problem by disabling the second processor core in the BIOS setup. However, I don't like the fact that I'll have to do each time that I use Traktor.

  Is it a hardware problem or software? Software that does not use the two hearts should be able to run without problems, but apparently, there are a few interruptions happening that prevent some programs smoothly.

  That's why I'm posting here instead of the forums of NOR.

  Hello

  Why wouldn't be a hardware problem?
  The fact is that the processors with dual core Intel design and it will appear in Device Manager. Also I m sure that Intel will design with double CPU and core more in the future.

  However, I think and I'm sure it's only a software problem. Software developers have overlooked this fact that there could be another type of processors. In my opinion, you must contact the software manufacturing support to clear this problem. Maybe a few updates are available.

  That's all I can suggest.

• Qosmio F20-137: I can capture from an analog camcorder using video

  Can I capture from an analog camcorder using the video about?

  Documentation of the laptop and some posts, talk about the usefulness of improving the image to set the 'terminal form' option, but I don't see this option in my set-up.

  Does anyone know how to activate this feature?

  Hello

  I created the DVD Qosmio G20 and this unit is probably more simple as on your F20. In any case if you carefully read the user for F20 manuals described therein:

  Video - in Port
  The port is used differently depending on the OS used in the computer.

  Windows XP Home Edition model: with the VIDEO-IN cable bundle, peripheral external such as TV, VCR, etc., can be connected to the computer and with WinDVR and WinDVD Creator Platinum 2 can be used to modify or view the entries.

  Media Center Edition model: with the cable to VIDEO IN cable or satellite set-top boxes can be connected to the computer to watch channels. Video not CAN NOT be retrieved for editing as in the model of Windows XP Home Edition.

  Now the question: which OS comes with your F20?

• Qosmio F20-137: is decoder Mpeg-2, the reason for freezing of digital television?

  Hello
  I posted a message to wonder about the digital TV freezing on my Qosmio problem, a problem shared with many other users it seems a few weeks ago.

  While studying this problem, I used the available program of diagnostics of Microsoft Media Center, from the Microsoft Download Center. When it runs everything passes the test apart from the following:

  First MPEG2 Audio decoder & initial MPEG2 Video decoder. According to the program, they are both inconsistent with the media library.

  Anyone know if this could cause a problem with the TV?

  Dave Shackleton

  Hello

  It is not easy to tell if this decoder is the reason for the freeze of digital television in the United Kingdom.
  I also read a few comments on this strange problem on Qosmio with digital television in the United Kingdom.
  I think that the best way to get the answer to this question is to remove this decoder application and try to use the digital TV without this software.
  It would be very interesting for me and for everyone else to know the result.
  However, check it out and please post again if you will get further information and results.
