Shutdown on the Qosmio G20 problem

Hello

I have serious problems stop my laptop. Basically, the problem appeared about half a month ago.

When I try to shut down my Qosmio, it no longer meets the shutdown command and it finally stops his car after 5 minutes while before the problem occurred first it stop almost immediately.

I've seen similar problems like mine in the forum but still I can't seem to solve. For the past 2 weeks I've tried everything and I can't think of anything to fix.

Your help will be vital

Concerning
Tony

Hello

This problem occurs if the laptop shuts down the unit, but still some processes run in the background of the operating system. In this case, the OS must much more long to stop down.

In my opinion, you should check the background processes that are currently running.
But the best way is to recover the OS because I'm sure that this issue will not occurs on the clean operating system.

Good bye

    Is it possible to really use the Qosmio as a mediacentre?
    I want to have the Qosmio in one piece and then plug the tom my TV and the audio Center in another room.

    Hello

    If you want to connect the Qosmio g20 on the HIFI audio system I advise to use audio S/PDIF output line.
    The plug is the same as the headphone jack.
    I think you should be able to use it with the MCE or Qosmio player.
    I think that the remote control only works with MCE but I m not 100% sure.

  • Windows XP Home edition does not recognize new HDD on the Qosmio G20

    I have a Qosmio G20/390LS bought a year ago, when I worked at the Japan, I tried to upgrade the hard drive with a new HD 100 GB Hitachi SATA but I faced a problem that XP does not recognize the HD.
    For your reference, the Bios sees the new HD, when I install the XP operating system I load the driver downloaded from the Toshiba Web site but no way RAID with F6... XP does not recognize the HD.

    Do you have any idea how to fix?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Computers portable Japanese are unknown to me, but if this laptop comes with two hard drives and RAID option do not forget the good option is set in the BIOS. Without the right BIOS setting you will not be able to install the OS.

    On Qosmio G30, I was able to install Vista when for two HDD HARD drive settings were 0-RAID-1. Check it please and let us know.

  • Upgrade memory on the Qosmio G20

    Hello
    I'm looking to upgrade my Qosmio G20 from 1 GB to 2 GB RAM

    Now I believe that this laptop comes with 2 x 512MB sticks in order to upgrade, I would need to buy 2 x 1 GB?

    I found this memory which I think would be good, but would like confirmation.

    http://www.cheapmemory.com.au/cheap-memory-Finder.php?EquipType=notebook&manuf=Toshiba&ManufS door series = Qosmio % 20Black & model = G20 - 110

    (Yes, I live in Australia)

    AFAIK the memory of 2 GB are quite new on the market and I don't believe someone can give you any information appropriate for this topic, but if these modules are memory specified for G20 I n t see no reason don't think about them.

    If there is a problem you can send them back at any time. By the way: I checked the official update from Toshiba page and it seems that, for the moment, no module 2 GB are available.

  • Double vertical lines on the Qosmio G20

    I bought a 16mois g20 there and one day I tried to turn it on and gave me a few double vertical lines...
    I took it to the repair shop, they told me that I have to change the motherboard which is quite expensive and more installation wills cost much. So I think that... Why spend a lot of money for this laptop... .and know this thing came

    To be honest I wasn't disappointed with the machine worked very well... but reliability... .and its not so old to say...

    I was doing some research and very few have the same problem please... Toshiba should do something to make us upgrade the machine or get at least something cheaper to fix...

    I'm very sorry to hear that you have a problem with your Qosmio. I have too many Qosmio G20 and I really like this camera. I know it is expensive (I bought an opportunity), but it's really a very powerful and noble device.

    Right now my works well but when I read something like your ad that I'm a little worried mine too. I have gift? t know how long warranty period is in your country, but especially about 2 years ago. Try to contact the Service partner in your country and speak with them. Maybe is it possible to fix it.

    Good luck!

  • Question about backup of the partition on the Qosmio G20

    Hi everyone, I was wondering is it possible to get the backup of your hard drive or the partition on qosmio g20? I tried the real picture, and ghost, but they could not get access to the qosmio scsi disks, when I ve checked toshibas recovery dvd I saw it is changed the version of norton ghost, so they must be necessary loading drivers on the start time of recovery disc, because I install a lot of software and change the config. I want to save my disk hard once everything is done.
    can anyone help?

    Hello

    Some time ago, I did some ghosting of Toshiba laptops, I have never had any problems. Perhaps there may be conflicts, if you are using RAID technology, or the Qosmio player on the first HARD disk area hurts.

    Sorry I can't give you more help.
    Good luck!

  • No output high definition on the QOSMIO G20 Vista

    HI Fellow injured users

    I'm here to grumble about how we can use our cable of trapeze of HD thingy at the exit of best resolution to our fantasies projectors and monitors.
    Put my G20 on the projector via S-video gives it a blur that gives me does not want to use it.

    Given that we seemed to have solved most of the problems to upgrade our ' pooters from XP to Vista via the post pilot Francisco - whose wise counsel received the forum most of the activities I've seen here - the cable is the last vestige of boring of incompatibility.
    Oh and also the magic buttons.
    Oh and also the sleep button.
    And there are probably others, but they are the most insidious for now.

    Tay apothecary of the brotherhood of darkness of Francisco Jr

    Dear Francisco

    Come here please, as soon as possible and explain tay how to get out of high definition on Qosmio G20 :) using S-video cable

    I'm sure that you will also be able to explain the other tays too what high definition and how it works. Please explain also that HDMI port is. Please explain them that also this projector must be connected to the port of RGB (monitor).

    Francisco thank you very much in advance!

  • Start Qosmio G20 problem

    I have laptop Qosmio G20, I got error message that my WinXP lost some system files and did not start. I tried to start Windows XP again (I lost the rescue floppy), but my Installer hunged up after 1 minute.

    I tried several other bootable disks including Linux but failed. I suspect this problem in BIOS, I downloaded the BIOS from the Toshiba site, but I have not found all the files PDF with instruction how to create bootable CDs for update of the BIOS listed on the Toshiba site.

    Maybe the problem is in CD/DVD recorder.
    What other way to start my Qosmio G20, I have no USB floppy?

    What do you think of hard drive? Is also possible that you have problems with hard drive?

    I use PDAs for the last fifteen years and with them leaving a few small utilities.
    Regards frankiewizard.

    Hello Franklin

    It is very nice to hear that you have decided to buy this laptop fantastic. For me, is a bit too expensive and I buy used a one day. A friend of mine has one and I'm very impressed.

    On this unit are preinstalled many different tools and I recommend you to carefully read the user manuals and pick up information on the features. As far as I know battery monitoring is possible with the tool. With this tool, you can control the use of the battery and save a lot of energy if you use a device in battery mode.

    Toshiba has designed tool system back up is unknown to me, but you can use the built-in Windows tools (tool to backup and restore and restore system perhaps tool).

  • Qosmio G20: Problems with tuner TV and Qosmio player on Linux

    Hello!

    I would like to install a Debian's Linux distribution based on my machine... But it looks like there could be some problems with a TV tuner and the qosmio player.
    Is there someone who could help me with a viable solution for this?

    Lasse

    Hello

    Well, you need a TV tuner driver, but the problem is the LINUX operating system.
    There is no drivers for Linux. Toshiba doesn't supports Linux. In addition, you will not find also all the drivers.
    All you can do is to use the Windows operating system. The Knoppix and Kanonix are very nice Linux distributions. You can run these Linux from the live CD. You n t need to install anything.

    Can someone recommend the best way to connect my G20-156 sound creativity works 5.1 desktop theater DTT2200. This was connected to a PC so I think a card external sound would be via a USB port, but is this the best way and that model?

    Hello

    I put t know what cables and what made the 5.1 support desktop theater DTT2200 but the Qosmio supports headphones with S/PDIF out.

    I use the headphone jack on my satellite to connect the unit to the stereo.
    I use a cable with a connector on one end and RCA connectors (red and white) 2 on the other end of the cable.
    The two connectors, I connected to HiFi and taking helmet.

    I think you can also try to use the same way to connect external speakers for the Qosmio.

  • Upgrading RAM in the Qosmio G20-110

    What is the limit of RAM upgrade in a Qosmio G20-110? Right now I have 512 MB. Can I put it in 1512, by adding 1 GB in the extra slot?

    Of course you can do it.
    The laptop is able to manage 2 GB max memory (2 x 1024 MB)
    You can mix the modules I mean that you can use for example 1024 MB and 512 MB sizes.

    I also found the compatible modules on the Toshiba options & Accessories site.
    512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
    1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

  • Capacity of the hard disk on the Qosmio G20-139

    I recently bought the notebook of Toshiba Qosmio g20-139, announced as having an 80 GB hard drive. Check the properties of the drive C: I think capacity is 69.8 GB. And in the properties of the device, it gives the Volume 71547 MB (I presume it's 71,547 GB).

    Does anyone can ease my mind explaining to me why I have not been 'ripped off '?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I'm not 100% sure but I think this part of the HARD disk is not partitioned and it comes preinstalled Qosmioplayer. This player doesn't need all the space, but if recording on this drive is available, I presume that this registered program is also recorded on this unpartitioned part.

  • Internal TV tuner for the Qosmio G20 does not work

    I have a qosmio G20 and the built in TV does not work, I reinstalled the driver and the program windvr 5 but no response.
    Whenever I start the program, I can't use the installer.
    Please can someone help me?

    Hello

    Qosmio G20 was delivered with Windows MCE.
    You can also use the Media Center Microsoft watch TV on the laptop!

    Please check if the built-in TV tuner works with MCE. If so, there is nothing wrong with the tuner or the drivers!
