• CD-ROM error at the start after replacing the DVD drive - Qosmio F20-574

  OK, so I have a Toshiba Qosmio F20/574 and I am trying to replace the factory DVD player (TEAC DV-W28E) with a Liteon DS-8A1P (f/w CX12). With or without a DVD Im reader get a CD-ROM error at startup. The only time where what I don't get, is when I start with the factory DVD player.

  Here are the things I've tried...
  -Cleared CMOS memory
  -Remove the bezel to ensure his grip at bottom
  -l' utility EEPROM set the drive to slave.
  -tested the portable player in another
  -uninstalled the factory dvd player via the Device Manager and tried to boot with the new dvd drive

  Here are the things that I found bizarre...
  -in the BIOS (BIOS 1.30 ACP) under IO device, it shows the hard drive and cd, but it is not listed by name, his watch only the IRQ of the primary and secondary IDE controller (integrated drive HARD IDE primary (1F0H/IRQ14), CD-ROM (170 H/IRQ15) secondary IDE). This does not change, even if I start without a DVD player.
  -There is no update available for this laptop BIOS. It is a Toshiba of the Japan and the Ive tried using Qosmio F20 BIOS 1.40 to another region, but this does not work.
  -I can't find a firmware for the Liteon DS-8A1P (CX17) update

  I can't think of anything to try. I really need help! Any ideas?

  I'm afraid that you are using the optical disc drive not compatible and there is nothing you can do. Check it please s user guides document for your model of laptop and you will find a list of all compatible ratings.

  You need a driver for Toshiba in particular to use the commands. But there is no driver for W2k. In this case, the controls cannot function properly.

• New installation of Windows XP Home edition on Qosmio F20 - sound card errors

  Hello

  I am one of those who is very reckless on internet and download a lot of spam and viruses along the way. I keep, but I'm also obsessive compulsive on the backup of my important files, so when my computer flip out on me, I just wipe it clean and continue!

  I stick to windows XP because some software I use still does not work on Vista, and I also install a completely new copy of XP instead of recovery as bundles of Toshiba with my laptop. Why? Because I lost it...

  Anyway, I've been tracking the drivers to get the last bits of the material work and all seem to work well! The only problem I have is with the (Yes, you guessed it!) sound card driver!

  I have a Qosmio F20 and have no idea of what sound card is actually inside this thing, I have always used SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio drivers and they do most of the work very well, but they seem to have problems when I try to use Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and Soundbooth. Both programs complain that there is no sound card and then refuse to open,

  As far as I know, the driver that I use is by 'Analog Devices' and v5.12.1.5240. I don't know if it's really any help at all!

  Does anyone know which driver is correct to use and where to find it, or is the fault, I have just an inevitable?

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Hello Pav

  Have you installed Windows XP Home with Service Pack 2 included?

  On the Toshiba download page, there is a driver available and I do not understand why you think that this is not the right one. The same driver will be installed if you use recovery CD/DVDs.

  You guys can give me some ideas what to do please?

  Sorry for my bad English.

  Hi mate

  The history of sounds strange for me

  First of all, it would be interesting to know if your CD/DVD drive is able to start using another disc; for example, a disk of Linux or a self created WinPE disc.
  (What is WinPE-> http://apcmag.com/windows_pe_20_a_tiny_version_of_windows_for_system _maintenance.htm)

  This would use to determine if the CD/DVD would start from all drives another.

  You can also try to boot from the Win XP disc by pressing the F12 key immediately after that the laptop is turned on.
  Now you should be able to choose ODD as a source of start-up, it will allow a start menu.

  Another idea. Maybe the CD/DVD drive cannot start until this special disc
  In this case, it would be advisable to copy the Win XP on another CD or DVD disc.
  After that, you can try to boot from the new drive copied.

  Of course the Win XP must contain the SP2!

  Last but not least don't forget to include the RAID drivers because the F20 supports RAID!

• Qosmio F20-154: BSOD and turns off

• Qosmio F20 won't start - power light flashes orange

  My Qosmio F20-149 crashed yesterday and I was not able to get it working again. When I try to turn it on, the power light flashes on and outside (on: 1 sec, off: 1 sec) and the cooler fan operates at full power. When I press a key, there is a genre or a sound error. otherwise no reaction of the laptop; even the CD player does not open.

  I did no RAM-implementation to date, and I use the original power supply Toshiba. I tried from the laptop using only the battery, only power and on both. No change in the reaction. I tried all possible combinations (with a free one, both... etc) of my two cards, RAM (512 + 512) and still no use.

  I am really puzzled.

  If I understand you just your laptop sends a blink code. Copy the following code appears so laptop has detected a problem with the electronic power supply.
  In this case, there is nothing that you can do and the laptop must be sent to the service provider allowed the closest.

  They have manuals containing instructions and the exact description of the code how do I solve this problem.
  Sorry, buddy, but I do not think that anyone here can offer an accurate diagnosis for that matter.

• Main problems after upgrading from XP to Vista on Qosmio F20

  I have recently upgraded from XP to Vista on my Qosmio F20 and having problems. It seems that I lost the ability to change screen resolutions, to adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Basically, I lost the laptop functions. I also tried updating the BIOS but get the following error message "BiOS update only is not supported OS - unsupported OS or service pack installed.»

  This also makes very slow computer.

  You now have a few questions, or you wrote just a report on your experience of Vista on Qosmio F20?

  The fact is that Toshiba does not support Vista on this laptop model and thereby you will ever complete Vista of operation (including the Toshiba tools and utilities). For supported laptops, Toshiba offered special Vista supporting BIOS but for your laptop, this update of the BIOS does not exist.

  Sorry! :(

• Qosmio F20-153 - ntoskrnl.exe file missing

  Hello

  I have an almost 5 year old toshiba Qosmio F20-153, which has developed an error with the Windows message root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe file is missing.
  I wonder if it's fixable without completely re - install the complete operating system that I still have the Toshiba restore disk.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  In my view, your only option is recovering the entire notebook. The Toshiba Recovery disk only contains an image of factory settings, which means that you can t install this single file of this disc.
  In addition it s a good idea to reinstall Windows from time to time. If your installation is already 5 years old, you should do this. You will be surprised with the speed of your laptop is after that. :)

  Use the recovery disk is quite simple: you must boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen. You do a few clicks only and that s it!

• Qosmio F20-149: I accidently deleted the folder Power Saver

  Hello

  I have problems with the energy saver, but I could not uninstall and reinstall so I deleted the whole directory... an error! So can someone download me its Repertory Powersaver so I uninstall etc still files once and I can uninstall correctly it!

  I have a Qosmio F20-149, but with luck another Qosmio Version will do as well, too!

  thx for the help

  I don't think it's a good idea to install files to watch foreign power on your operating system.
  I recommend you to download the energy saver (if you have it t n), and then install it again.
  If the installation does not start because of missing files, so you must first enter in the registry, and then delete all entries of power gain.
  And repeat the installation procedure.

• Re: No sound after my first format... Qosmio F20

  Hello

  I have just formatted my Qosmio F20 after 2 years of use. BUT! Unfortunately, I'm so disappointed because I used the "Product recovery" CD in order to have a secure and easy format, but the results were bad! There is no sound coming out of my speakers.

  I have the logo "speaker" on the bottom right of my screen and I can raise and lower the volume but I still don't hear anything.

  Also, I can play videos and songs and the "players" do not give me error messages regarding my sound sessions.

  If everything seems Ok, but I don't know why I still can't hear you! I'm deaf? loooool

  Furthermore, I have no problem with the built-in speakers say at the time I used the "product recovery CD.

  Please let me know what I need to do! : S

  Thanks for your time,
  Jeffrey

  Its always best to use the recovery CD when you reinstall Windows, it will have all the drivers and patches the system must :)

  Try clicking on Mute, then it activate several times. Mute may get "stuck" in "secret" mode after reinstalling Windows.
  Check also that the physical volume knob is completely assembled.

• Tuner not found on the Qosmio F20-149

  Hello world

  I have a Qosmio F20-149. After the transfer of my place of residence in another city in the same country) I suddenly see that my media reports "tuner not found" when I try to access the TV. Also, when I try to configure the internet connection, I get an error message of the MC asked me to restart the computer or contact technical support. Can someone help me with this?

  thanking you in anticipation.
  Best wishes.

  Hello

  I'm not an expert but tuner not found message cannot occur without any reason. There seems to be some hardware related issue and has nothing to do with your home.

  If you are 100% sure that everything was ok a few days ago, I recommend you to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. Please also check status of TV tuner in Device Manager? Is this all is well?
