  No, the graphics card can not be upgraded

  What you can do, it is memory and the upgrade of the HARD drive. This should be very easy and should cause no serious problems.

  Upgrading CPU is little tricky.

• Qosmio G30-194: film sound Vista instalation question

  After I installed Vista on my Qosmio G30-194 I have problems with sound card (when I play a movie I can't hear the sound of the characters, but I hear very clearly the surrounded sound) and Dolby are not working.

  Hello

  I put t know if the Sigmatel Audio control is available on Vista but it has been installed on XP MCE.
  This tool supports an equalizer and Dolby settings.
  If Vista does not support this application, I guess you have to wait until the new version is available for the Vista operating system.

• Qosmio G30 - Question on the Raid driver

  Do I really need this driver to use RAID functions? If its set in BIOS, what makes the pilot actually do? outside you give health statistics?

  See you soon

  Yes, you need the RAID driver.
  I think that the Qosmio G30 has been designed with the RAID feature as some units of the G20.
  Without this RAID driver, you will not be able to install the OS because the OS Setup may not recognize the HARD drive.

  RAID uses two options:
  RAID 0 (Striping): two hard disks are used as a big drive, if a HARD disk fails all data is lost
  RAID-1 (Mirroring): hard drives contain the same data if a disk fails, data is not lost

  I think you could check this announcement and also use the advanced search to forum for more results on RAID.

  In the user manual, you will also find lots of info on RAID

• Qosmio G30 - Question on HD DVD player

  Is the DVD-ROM on Qosmio G30 (PQ31) write HARD disk drive HDD DVD or is it only possible to read?
  I want to test drive HARD DVD - ROM, but I can't find (high definition) movies on the web, but I'm sure that somewhere I can find videos in high definition, does anyone know a website where I can download videos in high definition? Thank you

  Hello

  I found the following specifications:
  CD-ROM (Read)
  CD-R(Read/Write),
  CD-RW(Read/Write),
  DVD-ROM (Read)
  DVD-R(Double Layer) (read/write),
  DVD-RW(Read/Write),
  DVD + R(Read/Write),
  DVD + R (Double Layer)(read/write)
  DVD + RW(Read/Write),
  DVD-RAM(Read/Write)
  HDDVD-ROM (Read)
  HD DVD-ROM(Double Layer) (read)
  HD/DVD-ROM (DVD) (Read)
  HD/DVD-ROM (HD) (Read)
  HDDVD-R (Read)

  This means that the HD DVD can be read only. In my opinion the next generation of HD DVD players will be able to write HD DVD blank media. Videos high definition, you can find on the Microsoft page somewhere (forget the link). It is interesting that on a few films real pages you will find trailer download HD Google a bit.

  Good bye

• Question about warranty for Qosmio G30

  I bought my Qosmio G30 in Dubai on July 07. The warranty is valid for 2 years. I travel in Egypt and currently here for a few weeks. The graphics card is out on this subject. I had a friend contact the authorized dealer here in Heliopolis, Egypt, because they don't have staff speaking English.

  They said that they charge me 10% on parts when the warranty says toll-free.
  I sent them an email and they did not.

  Anyone has any advice or a number I can call to get my phone fixed?

  See you soon

  What to say boyfriend if your warranty is valid, then the laptop needs to be fixed for free usually cover all replacements!

  In most countries, you will find one or more authorized Toshiba service providers.

  Please check the Toshiba global ASP from database:

  From here, you can choose an ASP that is responsible for your country.

• Qosmio G30 - white lines on the screen and BSOD

  1. I have a Qosmio G30
  2 operating system Windows XP MCE
  and I have problem "white lines on the screen ' when windows start to load after that I got the"blue screen of death"and restart the computer.
  I try to get back, but unfortunately came with the laptop recovery CD doesn't seem to work...

  Whenever I finished to recover I have "windows loading files" and once this is done, it shows me the so-called "blue screen of death"...

  Hello

  I m afraid. I have bad news for you ;(
  I think you ve you have a problem with the hardware in my eyes, there might be something wrong with the GPU chip.
  The white lines on the screen could be related to a faulty graphics card and get the BSOD error due to a hardware malfunction or software serious questions

  I m sure that the recovery CD does not contain software problems and therefore only the fault of hardware could be the reason for the lines on the screen and the BSOD.

  In my opinion, you should contact the ASP in your country for assistance if all goes well you guarantee is valid.

  Good luck

• Qosmio G30 - 102 screen completely disappeared

  I read a lot of messages about the green lines, white spot, and blue screens. However my laptop screen has taken a step beyond that and stopped working!

  I have a Qosmio G30 102. I was playing a game (use high amounts of graphics) when suddenly the screen went. I restarted the computer, but it came with the different colors of the Rainbow (green lines, would change to a completely white screen). The problem was once windows starts to load than the screen turns off. I used the function keys to review the settings of the screen (if you want it to be double screen, connected to the LCD tv), but nothing would work.

  I decided to restart the laptop, but it now came with windows not stopped correctly and gave me the options to start the computer and had pixels all messed up (some letters were missing), windows, put in place would not work after the reboot because the screen turns off.

  So now, the laptop is just left with a blank screen. I can't install windows and my warranty is now sold out (ironically just 1 month ago: S)

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

• Qosmio G30-204 - the CPU temperature is high

  OK, so I have a problem of overheating with Qosmio G30-204. It seems that in the course of suspend the CPU temperature is high, I used SpeedFan to confirm this. EG + 70 degrees C after 5 minutes. 90 + degrees if left any longer!

  I find it very frustrating to say the least. This unit has served sentence. I had not yet touched in nearly two years the initial feeding has stopped working. The original power box split as it was a serious risk to my health and still less damage would could have been done to the machine! How to create a product that at least that I've updated the BIOS Toshiba fry the GPU!

  Needless to say that I did pretty well as soon as I got the camera. What can be done to fix this problem? If anything like that? It makes me not want / trust buy another Toshiba product.

  I can't wait to hear support ;)

  Hey,.

  In your case I don't he say s a nuisance Toshiba. It can be another problem as Akuma written and this means that it has nothing to do with Toshiba.

  For me it s definitely dust in the heat sink, especially if you do not clean your laptop before. You must use the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. It only takes 5 minutes and should be made from time to time because it s normal behavior which, after a certain time dust, blocking the cooling fan.

• Upgrade HDD/SSD on Qosmio G30-126

  I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade existing at a larger size HARD drive or just a large and an SSD.

  Question 1: what is the size for the two new HARD drives because the power supply is limited?
  Question2: For now, I run the two HARD a disc, so no RAID. Is it possible that I can determine what is on which drive? I do not envy the dumping everything on a drive connected and then import the new HARD disk.
  Question3: Is there a substantial improvement in speed when using the SSD as a HARD drive? I run W7 professional and compared to Mint example startup is pathetically slow.

  Appreciate answers or suggestions.

  Hello

  Qosmio G30 already supports SATA interface and so general, interface SATA has no capacity limit. If you can install a SATA 2.5 HARD drive with all the sizes. Ore of 500 GB drives is no problem on SATA interface so it s on applications and data based on what size you want / need.

  If your laptop is capable of managing 2 hard/SSD drives, you can buy an SSD 128GB for example for Windows and your applications and a HDD (500 GB) for your data.

  Disc SSD is faster than hard drives, but they are more expensive. SSD are perfect for the OS itself and programs but for data such as photos, music, etc. Hard drives are fast enough.

• Qosmio G30 - BIOS need to be updated for Windows 7

  Hey,.

  I am trying to install win7 (not beta) on Qosmio G30 (PQG32E with HD-DVD).
  I begin the installation, and copying the files on the hard drive. Then the computer restarts for installation.
  But every time you start ends in a blue screen with the error: stop 0x0000007E. The text of the blue screen is not little say on an update of the BIOS. But there is no latest BIOS available on the Toshiba site. BIOS 3.90 is installed. There is no other is available.

  XP and Vista runs without problem.

  BIOS with a standard configuration.

  Hello

  I don't see any question in your message, but you probably want to know if Toshiba will offer BIOS updates. I am sure that nobody here can give you a definitive answer but, in my opinion, Qosmio G30 will be not supported with Win7.

  The first series of Qosmio G30 is delivered with WXP MCE and later with Vista. Thus, this model of laptop is quite old. I watched how Toshiba treated with old laptops when Vista was on the market again and not over a year of two laptops have been supported. So I think with Win7 will be the same story. All laptops, not more than one year one or one and a half not will be not supported for Win7.
  I think in the future that Toshiba does not update the BIOS designed for Win7.

  Of course, I wish wrong me about this, but the future will show whether or not it is just my opinion.

  In any case, good luck.

• What HARD drive is the right one for Qosmio G30

  Hello world

  I have a Qosmio G30-161. The recovery discs are interrupted by a blue screen and windows cannot be installed!
  I tried to install a retail windows xp but does not recognize the hard drive!

  I'm almost convinced that the problem in the hard drive - computer laptop has2 - 60G each!

  The question is: what is the good hard drive that will fit in the laptop!

  In the specifications, S.M.A.R.T have been written!

  What does this mean?

  Hello

  You can remove hard disks and order the same. On the HARD drive you can find the purchase order number.
  For example, it can be Toshiba HDD2D33BZK01.

  Of course, you can also use with a higher capacity HARD drive.
  The question is: what you want to do exactly?

• Qosmio G30 model Japanese and Digital tuner

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G30-593ls which is a Japanese model. I know it has a digital tuner and I want to watch to watch TV in Australia on the Qosmio.

  So far, I have the right cable and were able to get the 5 analogue channels and watch these by Microsoft Media Center.

  But the analog channels are disappearing in a few months time and I prefer digital anyway.

  I was not able to get all the digital channels. I don't have the Toshiba software that I updated to win7 myself.

  My question is:

  Do I need to use a box office to watch digital TV on the Qosmio in Australia?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Pat.

  As far as I know the TV tuners in laptops vary by country material so I put t think you can use this internal tuner in the world.
  For this reason, I believe that you need an external device for watching digital TV in Australia.

• Qosmio G30-140 - Console problems on new install XP MCE Raid utility

  I just bought a Toshiba Qosmio G30-140 of second hand. It has 2 hard drives and I tried to install windows 7 with great difficulty due to the raid driver... I managed to cmplete installation and travels account that half the utilities would not work in compatibility mode... Solution, I decided to re install the original Windows XP Media Center Edition, as I didn't have the original disks, I had many days of trial and error downloading different versions to work on my system... FINALLY, I GOT THE RIGHT ONE...

  Here's my question:

  I want to set up my machine to use the 2 drives in RAID mirror in case of data corruption, although I tried to install the RAID utility using the restore disc, I had created before embarking on this mission - suicidal

  IT WILL NOT BE INSTALLED, AND CONTINUES TO GIVE ME THE SAME ERROR OVER AND OVER AGAIN, EVEN IF I AM LOGGED ON ADMINISTRATOR
  error message is "("TOSHIBA RAID Service"Service [kraidsvc] could start. Make sure that sufficient privelages to start the services.) »

  I'm stuck and tried a lot of combinations, different and re-installed the OS twice, I am an administrator and possess these privelages. HELP :((

  Hi mate

  Installing the RAID driver could solve this problem...

  Also, I guess you used the right RAID settings in the BIOS.
  As far as I know, you can change the RAID option in the BIOS on the last page (3-3)
  RAID0 means stripping and RAID1 mirror you want to use.

  After changing the RAID parameters, you must confirm this insert the string 1,2,3,4 and enter.

  But note; After changing this you will need new OS install

• Can I put Blu - ray on Qosmio G30 player?

  Hi all

  I have a Qosmio G30-163 with a HD DVD Drive (MATSU * A G8CC00031720) and I am currently trying to upgrade.

  I recently bought a kit to upgrade to 4 GB of RAM from Crucial (CT2KIT25664AC667) and am looking in more upgrades.

  Anyone know if it is possible to replace the HD DVD player with a Blu - ray player?

  My research was led to the Sony Optiarc BC-5500 which I found has the same height dimension (12.7 mm) and also the same interface at the rear (E-IDE) connector.

  I read in the forums that someone has managed to use a similar disc on a Qosmio and that the player may need to be configured for the slave instead of master mode.

  If anyone knows if it would work or that there more information I would be very happy!

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I didn't upgrade my Toshiba laptop with a Blue-ray player, but I also read in the forum that some people have managed to replace the drive internal with a blue-ray player.
  I think you should have a good chance to get the blue-ray player working on this Qosmio since the GPU and the interface are compatible.

  Anyway, please post some results after the upgrade.
