• Qosmio G20-114 does not start

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G20-114 that no longer starts. No display.

  It turns on, the fan starts and you can hear the movement of HARD drive, but there is no display (not even if I plug in an external monitor).

  It was Windows XP. All of a sudden stopped working for no apparent warning, no blue screen or the warning signs.

  When I turn on the laptop I get a few lights on the keyboard space. (The light above the icon of TV, two lights and the light above the icon for media player, the power button just below the arrows)

  I was surfing the internet all day for a solution and tried most of the workarounds proposed, for example; Take the battery and the charger out, leave for 10 minutes and then only replace the charger and try to switch on. Also; Remove a strip of RAM (and trade) and remove all the RAM. Still no luck, however.

  I had an internal beep of her, but only once, it was 3 Quick beeps. Nothing since.

  I'm willing to try any suggestion, although I like to keep the files on the HARD drive because of family photos and which do not.

  All suggestions greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  I think your problem is not how to save data to the HARD drive. You can remove the HARD drive and connect it to the other laptop using the 2.5 external HARD drive enclosure.
  HARD drive will be recognized as external device and you should have full access to all stored data.
  Do this if possible.

  On this virtual path it is not possible to provide an accurate diagnosis and to say with certainty what can be the problem, but I assume that the LCD is maybe defective.

  Start your laptop and wait a while. Connect your laptop to an external device, and then try to use the FN + F5 key combination. Just to see if you will be able to switch between mode of laptops LCD and external monitor.

• Qosmio G20-114: Vista upgrade issues - common Module driver is blocked

  I have the Qosmio G20-114 P - M 770/XP MCE /... Part number: PQG20E-00D003EN

  I've upgraded to Vista... and receive a message from driver error driver Toshiba common Module is blocked because it is incompatible with Windows Vista.

  I was running Windows XP MCE. Download a newer version of the driver that would work on this machine and with vista?
  I found a later version of this driver for other models...

  Hello

  No, you can download the latest version of common for Vista modules because the Toshiba has not released drivers Vista for the Qosmio G20

  This error message is displayed on your laptop, because the common modules only work with XP!
  If you want to upgrade XP to Vista you must first remove all incompatible applications.

  > I banded Toshiba and they put me through their parts department in the United Kingdom and I asked them about the part and they said they have but... they can't post in Ireland.
  Why didn t ask you a reference number if you have already contacted the Toshiba in the United Kingdom?

  I think that there are also some FSA in Ireland who are able to order this part at Toshiba.
  Therefore, you should contact the ASP in Ireland and they could order directly in such part of Toshiba.

• Qosmio G20-114: what are the features of hard drive?

  I just deleted one of my harddrives to my G20 114 so that I can work on my data while my laptop was being repaired.

  My plan was to put in a case of hard drve 2.5 "usb. I was also going to use a spare hard drive 100 GB I need to act as a backup of the operating system drive.

  However, it seems that the arrangemnt pins on the drive, I removed from my Qosmio is different from what I'm used to and it does not seem to hold in the external box. I guess also for this reason that the spare drive I used to fit into the Qosmio. I guess I must be missing something as this may not be the case here. They use some sort of different player in these machines or have I forgot something obvious?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  AFAIK the Qosmio G20 was delivered with S - ATA drives.
  The HARD drive is fixed by 4 screws on the HARD drive carrier.
  Did you remove this media from HARD disk?
  This is perhaps a question why the HARD drive does not fit into the case.

• Qosmio G20 - won't start, error ATA #1

  I have a G20-102. Today I opened my flash drive and files all showed them as shortcuts. I tried to connect to Firefox 4 and a warning from AVG threat came pointing to C:\windows\system32\mssrv32.exe (Tr/Crypt.xpack.Gen3) as a Protection of identity. I opted for the "Move to vault" option and asked to restart

  Now my pc won't start - I get the Qosmio screen, ATA error #1 (CD player has been removed) and then the screen "rolls" - looks like random pixels flashing on the screen. I'm trying to start safe mode, but F5, F8 or any Fkey is not doing

  To make things worse, the CD rom has been removed, faulty, so I can't boot from another device. I don't have a USb in the BIOS, only FDD option which I did not

  Help, please

  Hey,.

  To me, it looks like a serious hardware malfunction

  You could try to load the default settings in the BIOS. Enter in the BIOS, and then press the F9 key to load defaults. Then save & exit the BIOS and try to start again.

  The HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS? If so I try a recovery disk Toshiba recovery installation and check if the problem is hardware or software partners.

• Qosmio G20 does not start

  Hello

  Something is happening with my Qosmio G20.
  Sometimes when I connect the plug to the computer the DC IN indicator flashes orange and the pc does not start.
  A few hours later I try again and now DC IN indicator shows blue and I can boot my pc and I normally work for hours.
  It's very strange. It happens regularly. A few days shows blue and works very well and some other orange flashes of days and I can't work and I have to keep trying to connect and disconnect until it flashes blue to put on.

  Wouldn't be DC Power Charger malfunction? I've already ordered another of DC power charger to confirm, but my intuition says that is not the problem of the charger.
  I remember the 1st time that never happen... I was charging my iPod through my Qosmio and out of the House and let it load it. When I arrived home, the laptop power light flashes orange and I thought it was in hibernation mode. But after that time it started to happen.
  Before trying the new charger and reflections before sending it to the dealer?

  Thank you

  This flashing provides an error code which means that an error has been detected on the motherboard.
  It is difficult to say what could be possibly wrong power supply to electronic malfunction
  But this is only my personal opinion

  You should certainly contact someone who could verify the material and can run diagnostics tests

• Qosmio G20 - error TOS0002 when starting

  Hello people, help please if you can.

  Spin a Qosmio G20 (PQG21E)

  Have just re installed windows XP Recovery disk ME, (system crashes earlier), when re-startup error TOS0002 appears.

  Have been through the process of Winhex, as described in a previous thread, but is not no matter what diference.

  Here is the twist. If I boot with the recovery disk in and do not press any button, after a message ntldr failed the system starts fine.

  Can we get out there give me a solution to this very annoying problem, am at my wits end?

  Hi John

  From my personal experience, I know that the Qosmio G20 supports RAID functionality.
  Different RAID settings can be changed in the BIOS.

  In my opinion, you should check whether the RAID settings are on 1RAID-0 or / and RAID-1

  Sometimes the bad RAID don t parameters allow to install the operating system or cause strange error messages.

  Best regards

• 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?

• Screen is blank when Qosmio G20 starts up

  When I turn on my Qosmio G20-110 I hear the usual chimes and on my LCD backlight lights up but nothing else on the screen.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Have you plugged an external monitor to the laptop? Maybe it s something wrong with the display internal and so you can see anything on this subject. It s worth a try because you can check this in a few minutes.

  But I guess that it s a hardware problem with the display internal and/or mainboard or something other than your laptop must be verified in professional people, they can disassemble the laptop and exchanging parts of equipment.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest service provider authorized good luck!

• Qosmio G20 blocked on JBOD in BIOS

  Hello

  I have a problem with the Toshiba Qosmio G20-109.
  The system does not start, the two hard drives JBOD (unable to start Windows).
  HDD1 - 120 GB
  HDD2 - 250 GB

  So I wanted to put the first disc HARD 1 1RAID-0 using the method described in the Manual: I entered the code 1 2 3 4 and I pressed Enter.

  The problem is that once entered the BIOS code remained frozen and blocked.

  I tried everything, I'm not despairing managing to install an operating system.

  I hope there is a solution.

  Hello

  If JBOD has been set in the BIOS, Windows OS could not be installed on this HARD drive except using the Toshiba product recovery disc. But I guess you want to install the system using another drive in Windows.

  To be honest, I not very well why the BIOS freezes and does not accept Mr. code it s certainly the right one: ENTRY 1,2,3,4

  But the issue is probably related to the HARD drive. How to switch hard drives in the Bay?
  Try to use the 120 GB HDD2 and the 250GB as HDD1.

  I also recommend you use the 1RAID-0 = HDD1 and HDD2 = JBOD
  Would be interesting how it works.

• How to install Win XP on Qosmio G20 using USB flash memory key

  Dear Admin,

  This is regarding my laptop Qosmio G20.

  Last month my OS (windows XP media edition) has been corrupted so I attempt to reformat and reinstall the operating system.

  But unfortunately my CD/DVD-Rom does not work/play,.

  Then I try to install it via a PEN drive bootable with integrated... XP but when I go into the BIOS I n I find USB Boot option... :-(

  Then I remove my main hard drive and put it in another laptop and install the XP, its work in this laptop, but unfortunately when I put the new HARD drive the Qosmio his departure gives the XP logo but in 5-10 sec its judgment and give a blue screen message then then restart automatically...

  plezz help me install XP or Vista or 7 those who works there...

  plezzz plezzz sound my laptop preferred

  Thanks in advance

  JAI

  > Then I try to install via a PEN drive bootable with integrated... XP but when I go into the BIOS I n I find USB Boot option... :-(

  Connect the USB flash memory key to the laptop, now switch on and press F12.
  The start menu should appear where you could see all the possible boot devices.

  Do you see the USB boot option in the start menu?
  If this isn't the case, then you will not be able to boot from USB flash memory.

  > Then I remove my main hard drive and put it in another laptop and install the XP, its work in this laptop, but unfortunately when I put the new HARD drive the Qosmio his departure gives the XP logo but in 5-10 sec its judgment and give a blue screen message then then restart automatically...

  I guess that this is because the RAID drivers was not included!
  Qosmio G20 supports the RAID controller and you add the RAID driver (located on the Toshiba UE driver page) in order to recognize the HARD drive.
  But I put t know if you could do so using another computer I guess that's not possible.

  Maybe you can try to disable RAID in BIOS

• Qosmio G20 screen of text or symbols on startup

  Qosmio G20 139, at the start of the Qosmio laptop appears and then it immediately goes into a screen of text or symbols. Is continuous to load see the Windows XP screen then displays vertical blue dotted, then goes to an error page showing the nonpaged page error error 0 x 00000050. Then restarts and goes around and does the same thing.

  I used the recovery disk and it worked fine for a few days the have reappeared.
  I checked the ram and hard drive and there seems to be some errors.

  Now reinstall drive does not load correctly.
  If a page comes up saying installation is not complete.

  > I checked the ram and hard drive and there seems to be some errors.

  How did you check that?
  Have you used a new test strips of memory and the new HARD drive?

  To be honest, I don t think that your HARD drive is affected. The vertical dotted lines, could be more related question of graphics card in terms of the HARD drive.
  RAM question could also be possible, but I think that its GPU.

  By the way: you are able to access the BIOS?
  Turn on the computer and press F2. Then leave the laptop in BIOS for a few hours to check if some problems arise.
  Would be interesting to know how the unit would be

• Qosmio G20: How do you get TV to work?

  Hi, I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Qosmio G20.

  I want to watch a Divx on my TV using the laptop as the player. But, I can't get anything to display on my TV, my TV remains empty.

  I tried pressing on now the keys Fn and F5 and this doen't seem to do anything. I opened the Nvidia graphics window and expand on my secondary display and I also tried to have a vision of "clone" of the laptop computer on my TV screen by clicking on the Advanced button. Nothing seems to work.

  Could someone help me please? I think that I am using a DVI cable (this is the cable where you can hang on the back of the laptop). In addition, if no one can give me more information so can someone give me the phone number of the technical support for Britain?

  Any help will be much appreciated.

  Hello

  Qosmio G20 supports the S-video port or video-D. You can connect to the TV with these ports.
  To view the video on the TV, be sure to set up the other parameters that you can see that nothing is displayed.
  Don't forget to use the FN + F5 shortcut to select the display device before you start playing the video. Don t change the display device all in video game.
  If the TV is connected to the computer, set the TV type in display properties.
  Click the setting tab, and then click the Advanced button. Click the Geforce tab, click current view and select TV. Click device settings and select TV format that your TV supports.
  When the TV is connected using D-video cable and the 1123i or 750 p is selected then kept copy of DVD video cannot be played correctly.

  Please see the user manual. You will find details

• Qosmio G20: Question of Media Center Receiver - recovery question

  As the abvoe really, I usually leave my computer running from one day to the next day and yesterday I went on it to find that I had 80 MB hard drive (60 GB HDD) to the left. Error messages had popped up and a record of these was recorded in the folder pchealth, under userdumps, or something like that. Anyway I deleted 58gigs with a value of these userdumps, but the same error message kept popping up.

  It was a mistake with the Media Centre receiver, but I don't quite know what it is, but it was founded in the ehome folder which I think is located in the main folder of Windows.

  I have been into msconfig and stopped the ehhome.exe to start but that seems to ruin the tv/video within the media library settings.

  I recently installed the codec and divx player to play divx movies.

  I was wondering is that it would be more prudent to use the CD recovery and re - install windows and the software and create a restore point, and then install the codecs to see if the same problem arises, or if someone has had this problem and it heals.

  Finally, I actually ran the recovery cd to the above, but when the cd starts the first line on back said something like, 'running Setup for windows 98'. XP is certainly on the 98 and no recovery cd?

  Can someone please confirm this for me and all the answers to the above problems.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I can t believe that Windows 98 is placed on the recovery CD.
  AFAIK the Qosmio G20 was delivered with the MCE window.
  There is no recovery of Win98 CDs for Qosmio units.

  In my opinion, this message occurs due to RAID or other drivers that load at the beginning.
