Several questions about Satellite C850 and L850

Hello

One of our schools recently brought 20 L850 and C850 Toshiba computers laptops.
As most of the staff allows to connect to his projector VGA port, VGA The port must be strong.

In recent days, we had 2 laptops with the Port VGA brought away from the laptop!
Just one thumb on the cable when connected breaks this port,
and we cannot obtain compensation from Toshiba, because it is our fault and has only 1 YEAR!
Fixing this problem will cost us an entirely new mobo that will most likely cost to buy a new laptop.

Out of the 20 that we made we had more half with its imperfections within the first year of use. * under the EU regulations with respect to the point of being quality market and adapted to the use that these issues should be fixed for at least 3 years from the date of purchase if not, the item is unsuitable for sale.

Other issues we have had with these laptops within the first year of purchase were overheating, with the Fans to stop.

We had a hard drive replaced TWICE with us having to buy one ourselves because Toshiba has refused to replace it as it was out of warranty of 2 weeks. (in only 1 year warranty)

And finally a L850 that won't start. It stops at the Toshiba before even loading screen to the BIOS. (faulty CPU or memory) Once again this cell rupture within 2 years.

REPORT QUALITY / PRICE? I do not.

I think of course to departs Toshiba laptops in the future for our chain of 18 schools which are due to cell replacements.

We have also more than 100 HP Compaq Laptops in 2 schools in 2009, once is not what we asked HP for repairs. What happened to good quality computers laptops these days...?

And what happened to the screws next to the VGA port to hold the laptop VGA cable to prevent the VGA problem...

Not at all impressed.

Hello

Sorry to hear all this. Of course, this isn't the best advice on Toshiba laptops, but the first thing that I m wondered after reading your ad was: why they bought these models L and C?

Like any other laptop manufacturer Toshiba offers various models with different hardware platforms and different prices. Following my logic books used in the school must be fairly robust and designed to be more in use. If you compare the L and C series laptops with notebook series P for example, you will notice the difference in design, quality and manufacturing.

Of course, there are big price difference and I can't imagine school have little budget and must turn to get machines but also save money.

What else can be said? It's really annoying to have this kind of problems, especially if you need these machines to work. My only advice to you is to pick up more info on laptops of next time. It can be Toshiba or any other laptop manufacturer. Best thing you can do is to contact your local dealer and check several different models. Focus on quality and design.

Bye and good luck

  • Question about Satellite L40 and Vista 32 bit

    Hey all, I have the following problem.
    I have Satellite L40 series 2 PC and tried to install vista ultimate 32 bit, and they freeze only on the process of "complete installation."
    I read in some other forums and found it is not only my problem. I tried with 64 bit ultimate, it's all OK. It may be, the main problem is that it is not possible to install VISTA 32 bit.
    I only ultimate now, so my question is if anyone knows or installed to another type of Vista 32 bit on these series?

    Thanks before

    As far as I know that all new models of Toshiba laptops come with Vista 32 bit. Satellite L40 is offered in three different models, and each one also comes with 32-bit operating system. If you have the recovery DVDs with your laptop is Vista 32 - bit OS. I assume it must be the Home Premium version.

    I don't have a model L, but my model works well on Vista Ultimate.

  • Satellite U405D - several questions about overheating/disassembly/upgrading etc.

    Hello

    I have several questions about my old one by Satellite U405D-S2910

    1. when it works, after 2-3 hours (I run usually small programs such as safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85 to 90 C (178-188). When I play age of Empires 2 (come on, its an old game) like 2-3 hours, it stops. What could be the possible reason? Furthermore, let me inform you about the climate of the city I live, 30 c temperature - humidity 25-35% (today).
    PS. CPU is AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model RM-74

    2. I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think at the rate of overheating is this). It does seem like a desktop computer, so complicated. Ive seen a disassembly not to not (btw, its so difficult to spell dismantling :) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions on this subject? experiences could help me?

    3. my laptops is Ram 2x2gb PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM memory, I want to replace RAM memory 2x2gb MACH XTREME DDR2 1333 MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK. Should I do it? Fit my portable, stable work? any suggestions?
    PS. motherboard chipset AMD M780V

    4 - Finally :), should I use OS 64 - bit or 32-bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    1 + 2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. That is why it s not necessary to remove, just blow softly and soon the air through the laptop. You can buy such compressed air which squirts of each computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
    You can find a useful article about this here:

    3. in my opinion he should forget this update! The speed of the RAM is related to the FSB of the CPU and as much as I know about Satellite U405D it s 667 MHz so it s already the RAM faster than you can have. Save your money and buy a larger HARD drive or in the best case a SSD that can really improve the performance!

    4. in my view, the answer is clear: Windows 7 64-bit.
    Only a 64-bit OS supports full 4 GB of RAM. ;)

  • Re: Several questions about the recovery of the Satellite L750 features

    I have several questions about the recovery of Satellite L750 features available to it. Any help and answers would be useful.

    (1) when I started the laptop first, he asked me to create a recovery CD incase I need to reinstall the operating system. But he also said that he built in the recovery partition, so therefore, I have to make a recovery cd or not?

    (2) will be the recovery CD is exactly the same as the recovery on the system partition?

    (3) is the partion of CD or recovery includes all the integrated software pre-installed with the laptop?

    (4) also in the device manage management it shows watch partion recovery but it is empty, is it true?

    (5) in the second partition (drive D) system, he has a record with what looks like the recovery of files and folders. Is it safe to move/remove it?

    Hello

    I'll try to provide answers:
    1 - to ensure that everything works perfectly you don t need these discs, but if something goes wrong with the HARD drive you will not be able to do anything. When you have the recovery DVDs, you will still be able to install the recovery image and once again the factory settings. So my advice to you is: create these discs as soon as possible. Use only on DVD-R media and buy products of high quality (TDK or Verbatim).
    2 - Yes.
    3 - Yes.
    4 - No. Don t be confused with this.
    5. in a first time create restore DVD, and later you can do what you want. I put t know which files mean you but don t touch anything before that of the recovery disks to be created.

    In the past, many people have been experimenting with the structure of HARD drive and partitions and later was surprised when installing disk recovery HARD has been damaged. Don t make the same mistake.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Several Questions about educational Versions of the software

    Well, I have several questions about teaching from Adobe software.  I will attend school in the near future (now I'm not enrolled in any type of school) and I see that Adobe has huge discounts on "educational software".

    What exactly is the difference between the "commercial" version of a program and an educational version?  Do you need some kind of student card to activate an educational version, or proof that you are in school, or something special like that?  I noticed people unopened sell educational versions on eBay and I heard there is no differences between the software, but this makes me wonder... why the price difference?

    Also, I intend on buying another Mac in the near future - probably for the school.  My second question is - with this software (education), is that I can put programs on my desktop and my laptop, or they won't work on one person on one computer?  I've heard people that serial numbers cannot be activated so many times.

    Last question.  My HDD recently crashed and I lost a good bit of things and had to re - install everything.  If this would never happen again, reinstall all Adobe programs on a hard drive nine?  Or I will meet the all 'serial numbers cannot be activated so many times?

    Very well.  I think about the fact.  Any input would be great.  Thank you.

    -Mike

    In terms of content, there normally is no real difference between the editions of the retail and educational/student. There may be some additional fonts or clip art in the commercial version, but this varies from one version to the other, and a product.

    You must qualify to buy an educational/student version. These qualifications are listed on the Adobe Web site. Normally, you must provide proof of reserve that sells licenses of software for you. You can not buy now for the reason that you will be a student in the future. You must have purchase student status.

    Unlike versions of retail, education/student Adobe versions software are not transferable. Sale of such software 'closed' on eBay must be regarded with suspicion. Adobe resellers do not offer software on eBay sales. The software is either stolen, used (but reconditioned), or pirated goods.

    Most of the Adobe software, including the Creative Suite software, can be activated at the same time on two computers owned and used by a single individual. second computer is usually a laptop, if first computer is a computer at home for students. For retail sales, usually first computer is a desktop computer and the second computer is a mobile computer or at home. Computers must not run the software at the same time. And No, two students may not share a single copy on two separate computers.

    The software can be turned on and off but after 20 or if these cycles, you will need to call Adobe and explain what is happening to get characters such cycles. If you are enabled on both systems and a hard drive or a computer turns off and you need to reinstall the software without having the possibility to disable the system blew, Adobe activation support group normally will be granted an additional activation, assuming that you do not have a record of abusing the privilege (as your hard drive breaks down once a month!).

  • A question about the methods and parameters.

    Hey guys, this is my first post here. I am very new to Java and done a bit of C++ before Java. I had a question about the methods and parameters. I do not understand the methods; I know they can be repeated when it is called, but it's almost everything. I also know that a program should have a class that contains the main method. What I really, really understand on methods is what the parameters are. I know they are in parentheses and that is it. Could you explain what they are? I really appreciate it. Thanks to all in advance. Best regards, Michael

    Taking an example:
    Suppose you calculate area of the rectangle you need two inputs one is the length and the width. Area = l X b, where l = length, b = width

    If your method, say, calculateAreaOfRectangle (length int, int width) will be two parameters as arguments.

    System.out.println ("field of rectangle:" + calculateAreaOfRectangle (40,30);)

    public int calculateAreaOfRectangle (int length, int width) {}
    int area;
    Area = length * width;
    return of area;
    }

    So if you call this method then the output will be returned in 120.

    Parameters of a method are simply the input variables for the method of treatment for all calculations or something useful.

    And we cannot have methods inside the main method in Java. It is in the java syntax and if you do, it will throw a syntax error.

  • Question about the interruptions and priming

    Hello

    I had a few questions about the startup and interruptions in a virtualized environment

    Assuming that, plenty of virtualization (no material assistance to virtualization of memory ).

    1 initialization: in an ordinary PC, the boot process starts with the BIOS, to expansion ROM, back to the BIOS and MBR secondary boot record, then grub (is it) and finally the operating system. In a virtualized environment with VMM running directly on top of hardware (Native VMM), how is the initialization of the different process, as I understand it takes BIOS-> Expansion ROM - > BIOS-MBR-> other record secondary-> VMM-> OS--> applications >. Am I right on that?

    2 breaks: VMM examines the source interruptions prior to the interruption, so in a multicore environment, assuming a 2 processor core, how the VMM decides on the kernel for which the interruption in intended, prior to shipment of the interruption. Interruptions are tag ID, said core ID?

    Thanks in advance

Am I right on that?

    It is simplistic but essentially correct.  A metaphor would be a little better thinking that the hypervisor/vmm is an operating system, except that the process on this operating system are requests or comments OSes.  If the BIOS-> OPROM-> BIOS-> MBR-> hypervisor-> init process of the hypervisor-> reviews of fork () s operating systems.  This can become blurred by the design choices (for example Xen/Hyper-V init start a coded parent hard partition that makes hypercalls privileged to fork() guest OSes; ESXi init runs a very limited subset of applications directly on the hypervisor and ESX Classic is somewhere between these approaches).

    There is a subtle distinction between "hypervisor" and "www."  The "hypervisor" is the operating system of single root (e.g. ESX) who interacts directly with the hardware and has access to everything; a hypervisor is not to be used to run virtual machines.  When we talk about a "hypervisor", the tendency is to describe something which is a BONE (although usually a minimal OS designed only to run virtual machines).  The "www" is the layer that allows a virtual machine run: it provides the interposition, virtualization and emulation services and can be plural (for example a vmm by guest operating system).  Architecture of VMware deal with these two separate components, while most other virtualization platforms merge the two.

    Strictly speaking, the interruption is not transmitted to a guest operating system - receives the hypervisor (or rather the VMM it transmits to the hypervisor), the hypervisor drivers interpret the interruption (for example reading package of NIC, I/O process of HBA, the timer tick completion), then after a new appropriate break in the guest OS.

  • I have several questions about performance in XP that I asked about

    I have maybe something to do with my pc which has caused several issues that I have been asking questions on this site and have yet to get solved. Maybe it's a matter of slow internet access or an intermittent problem of internet access or a busy RAM which caused these problems for me:

    • 7 + 1 end Nows to Log Off or restart
    • IE cannot display the website (goes and load when I click Refresh!)
    • Enter the network password
    • Scrolling mouse (sometimes) when I click on a link in an e-mail or on a website or open a new tab opens to the blank page
    • Yahoo Messenger which is set to autostart in the Journal, sometimes impossible to display the weather plugin and so I just click on the v Options above and select Reset to Default height and it then displays to fill this place and it is currently running. What can I do to speed up my slow sometimes Tablet?
    • What can I do to speed up my slow sometimes Tablet?

    My Internet Explorer works fine, almost all the time and only question #2 or #4 occasionally and not very often. I need to put right at the front here saying that this isn't a malware problem and it is not a lack of program updates. If you could help me with this, just read my profile since these two are discussed in depth in my profile. I recently did a clean install and I visit unwanted websites on the internet and not much at all and I have installed Security Essentials immediately and it updates every day on its own. Also, I've updated all my programs and drivers manually and my operating system as much as possible by using Windows Update in custom update high priority mode (optional) software & hardware (optional). And I use File Hippo at each connection to find updates of programs that are available and I used another program to search for driver updates.

    I was unable to find information about malicious programs in your profile. Malware is STILL a possibility. ALWAYS. You run MBAM?

    Must you Yahoo Messenger runs at startup? (I doubt it). Plug-ins are also known to cause problems. If your plugin weather might be screwing things up.

    You have never set up a clean boot?

    Finally, you should never connect, I pointed out repeatedly. Reset must be a rare event, too.

  • Questions about apex_web_service.make_request and collections

    Hello

    I began using with Apex Web services, and I have a few questions about the apex_web_service.make_request procedure. You can pass a name of the collection as a parameter. I'm a little confused on this parameter from the collection...

    This is perhaps a silly question, but the documentation is not very clear, so... This procedure always inserts just a line in the collection (with the XML returned by the web service call), or are there cases where several lines will be inserted?

    If there is still only a single row, what are the practical reasons to use a collection for her? I ask because in most cases interest you about the columns/rows to display in a form or a report in the Apex and I don't see the advantage to store in a collection of single-row, but I may be missing something...

    If the response contains several rows of data, it will be automatically extract the lines and insert them into the different lines of the collection? (posts...)

    What is the best approach then to extract several rows returned in the XML response and insert them into a collection? Currently I use XMLTABLE in a loop and call apex_collection.add_member for each row returned. is there a better way to do it?

    Thank you
    Luis

    Luis,

    the webservice returns only one row in the results collection.

    XMLTABLE using is a good idea, instead of using a loop, you can also use APEX_COLLECTION. CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY or CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY_B (B for bulk which may mean 'fast').

    brgds,
    Peter

  • Re: Satellite C850 and UEFI BIOS settings

    I have laptop Satellite C850 - 1 2 with Windows 8.1

    When I boot, it shows a toshiba logo, not the original flag 8 Windows. It is not so much a problem, but I can't change because the parameter is blocked within the parameters of the UEFI. How can I change this?

    I already tried to change through the windows in different ways, but each time it will change the UEFI!

    Help?

    To be honest I don't know what to do, you mean with blocked settings, but it can be changed in the BIOS settings.
    What you need is to make complete OS stop http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm and after having done that, you can restart the laptop and enter the BIOS (try F12) settings and then you can change all the settings of the BIOS.

  • Question about Satellite A30-power adapter

    Hello

    I own a laptop Satellite A30 and my charger just died. I have looked on the internet to buy a new one, but can not find the same model of the same brand (delta ADP-90FB REV electronics. (E) and having trouble finding something on the site Web of Toshiba.

    Hello

    Believe me: it s better to use than stuff unnamed original equipment. On the one hand, you win money and if your machine is broken due to a power adapter that gives your machine
    a wrong voltage or whatever.

    I had a great experience with my tecra 8100 a few years ago:

    My old AC was broken, so I bought one in a store, which has been declared as "corresponds to 100% and blablabla".

    Cost: $ 37

    After a while my machine freezes sometimes and for a day-> no boot.
    Then I gave my machine to fix after they have made their diagnosis, they asked, what sort of AC, I used. Heh? They explained to me, I used the AC adapter was not a constant voltage,
    If some capacitors smd-says 'goodbye '.

    You can save money, but give you him another side, believe me.

    so, if someone can help me please... I would be very greatfull thaaaaaaaaaanx

    Hello Meisoon

    AFAIK in Toshiba control properties, you can set that should display the SubLCD. It can be set to the clock or the own channel. It is unclear to me that you can use two different channels and that they can be displayed separately according to the market or off.

    If you find out how it works, please write again.
