  All the thoughts, the problem could be.

  Thank you

  Hello

  According to your message, the problem looks like something wrong with the display.

  Don t think that something like that can be linked to the issue of software but who knows

  Try first update the BIOS to the latest version available.
  Then you should try to update the graphics driver.

  If don updates help t then a hardware failure could

  In this case the defective part needs to be replaced

• Qosmio G20-108 Windows recovery problem.

  Hello

  I just purchased a Qosmio G20-108 of ebay and the seller said that the laptop is ok but I had a virus previously and it wiped the HARD drive. The DVD player has so replaced it by a new one, but he couldn't just load the recovery of Windows Media Center. I bought the laptop thinking that I can fix it but I could not and now I felt stupid: (.)

  When I turn it on, you receive this error message:

  ERROR ATA #1

  Intel (r) Boot Agen FE v4.1.16
  Copyright (C) 1997-2004, Intel Corporation

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.

  Someone has an idea on how to solve this problem before sending it to the "Topaz" Support and cost me a fortune?

  Thank you.

  If the DVD player is replaced, you are 100% sure it works well then you probably have a problem with faulty HARD drive.

  If possible, try to get one for testing purposes. It can be used. Replace the HARD drive and try to install the top OS. Check if you have full access to the HARD drive.

• Qosmio G20-123 with two questions (WIFI AND ELECTROSTATIC)

  I BOUGHT THE QOSMIO G20-123 ON 30 OCTOBER 2005, FRANCE.
  IT'S THE SECOND QOSMIO I (I BOUGHT THE FIRST QOSMIO G10-126 OF FRANCE IN JANUARY 2005 AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE). NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT I ONLY BUY TOSHIBA BRAND FOR MY LAPTOP SINCE THE YEAR 2000.

  UNFORTUNATELY, THIS NEW QOSMIO G20-123 HAS TWO PROBLEMS.
  I WILL ADDRESS THE TWO ISSUES AND THE RESPONSE THAT I RECEIVED FROM TOSHIBA LEBANON (WHERE I LIVE) I HAD THE EXPERIENCE AND THEY HAVE VERY GOOD TECHNICIANS AND SERVICE.

  FIRST PROBLEM: WIFI CONNECTION
  I HAVE THE APPLE AIRPORT EXPRESS AS ACCESS POINT, WHEN I CONNECT THE QOSMIO WIRELESS ACCESS point IT STARTS WITH a SPEED OF 54 Mbps THEN IT COMES down to 1 Mbits/S.i. HAVE to PRESS THE BUTTON REPAIR so that the speed is up to 54 Mbps, and then a few minutes later, it comes down again once at 1 Mbps.
  SO FAR I HAVE NO RESPONSE FROM TOSHIBA ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

  SECOND PROBLEM: FIELD ELECTROSTATIC AROUND THE SCREEN

  WHEN I TOUCH THE METAL OF THE LCD FRAME, THERE IS A LOAD ELECTROSTATIC, FLUCTUATING TENSION ALL AROUND.
  IT SEEMS THAT IT LACKS A PLUG OF EARTH (EARTH) SOMEWHERE... I'VE EVER SEEN AN ADAPTER TOSHIBA WITH A SHEET CONTAINING 3 HEADS (EARTH).
  SO FAR THIS PROBLEM TOO HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.
  ALSO AS I MENTIONED HIGHER, MY OLD QOSMIO G10-126, WHICH IS PLACED NEXT TO EACH OTHER, USING THE SAME ACCESS POINT AND THE SAME ELECTRICITY INTAKE, AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY WELL WITHOUT THESE PROBLEMS. WHAT SOMEONE HAS THESE PROBLEMS?
  CAN YOU HELP ME SOLVE THEM?

  Thank you

• 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

  These are the cables >

  2 antenna adapter (see picture) is not for coaxial cable, what can I do?

  Hi ismael,.
  I'll try to help with that, but it's a long way to the road...
  I don't know what Tv system is used to Malta (Pal)?

  The best way to set up your TV's with Media Center 2005 edition.
  Cables:
  Check the back of your cable TV installation box and find the composite or SVHS output. If you have only the composite, you can use the composite cable of the posted image. If your TV decoder has the SVHS, so you should use, to the better image than composite. You must obtain a SVHS cable for this.
  Look for the audio output rca, too. Mix with the composite cable for the audio Qosmio.

  But you must have:
  1 control cable IR, for media center 2005 configuration as well as your TV decoder. It is cable connected to the remote sensor (see fact sheet on the back).

  2 sensor for your remote control and configure it with the remote control of your TV decoder. In this way, you can control the receiver cable channels, using the remote control for your Qosmio G20 media center edition.
  Recovery: you can change the channels on your TV decoder using the qosmio remote control.

  3. remote control for you media Center 2005, one that came with your Qosmio g20.

  Open the TV on Media Center 2005 configuration and follow all the steps required for installation.
  You must follow the guide, as is explained in the image you posted:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/using/Setup/SetTop.mspx

  If you have all these cables, you can use the Qosmio player to watch TV. It is not tied to windows OS.
  Here, simply connect the coaxial cable and let the Qosmio player search for available channels in your area. Qosmio player has the opportunity to set the colour TV system in any part of the world. all NTSC regions in all PAL regions.
  If you have the remote control for your Qosmio, TV keys will work directly with the Qosmio remote sensor on board, without needing the external sensor of Microsoft.

  I hope this helps you

• Qosmio G20: No HARD drive recognized when installing XP

  Hello

  Maybe your Win XP OS does not include the RAID driver!

  Qosmio G20 supports RAID functionality and you must include the RAID driver during the installation of WIN XP by pressing the F6 key.
  The RAID driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.

  If you need information more than just posting it here ;)

  Good bye

• Qosmio G20 is not Compatible Vista

  Vista is not compatible with the Qosmio G20, despite what was said in previous comments.

  I got in touch with support Tech from Toshiba, Microsoft and my ISP. As trying to install it, even if it has installed, no component of Toshiba worked and my network/internet access does not work either. Technical support Toshiba said that since they advertise portable computers that are 'vista ready', this therefore translates by made of others, all other portable non supported. I hope you can learn from my mistakes I have proceed to wipe my data and reinstall XP.

  If you're happy with Windows XP Home edition, I strongly suggest to stay with her.

• Qosmio G20 156 runs slow after system restore

  Please help since my son crashed my pc and I restored it with the cd that came with the machine im problems with the screen saver works slowly and some programs that run slowly as vision of nero which was fine before. I tried all the usual stuff like the lowering of graphics acceleration but no joy please don't help

  Send me an email to [email protected]
  my machine is a qosmio g20 - 156 pqg21e

  Hello

  It is hard to believe that the Qosmio G20 may have some problems with the saving screen graphics and slower running.

  In any case try check the energy saving settings and the use of the processor to maximum power. Check also running a process in the Task Manager and stop all unnecessary processes running. Don't forget that antivir application doesn t do any disk HARD analysis in the background.

• Replacement of the monitor on Qosmio G20

  Hey guys,.

  I'm having some trouble with my Qosmio G20 I would appreciate your help on.

  In the month of October, I had an accident with my laptop. Basically, I dropped it and that ruins my monitor and optical drive module, monitor protects. Fortunately I had assured him so after £920 and a month, it has been repaired by Toshiba replace all component defective and execution of a comprehensive control system to make sure everything worked.

  Just today a thin green/blue line appeared on the site of the left hand of my screen makes me extremely frustrated. The computer has been moved at all to justify a hardware failure. I checked the right graphics card find no problem at all not connected an external monitor) so I think the monitor replaced module was faulty.

  Do any of you know if I am eligible for a new free replacement of defective or is monitor - this something else goes terribly wrong with my laptop?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

• Qosmio G20 = video cable component and videos in high definition with Pinnacle

  Dear everybody
  I bought my Qosmio G20-120 of the Poland that came with D video cable SCART. This cable is only capable of transferring video signals (CVBS) which is pretty useless, because Qoismio already has a S-video out... What is the best simple video production I can get to SCART.
  According to www.toshiba-europe.com Qoismio is supposed to have video output component. But it comes with cable SCART instead. I always try to make this component video cable D-video of the Distributor. If I don't succeed, does anyone know if and where I can buy this cable in Europe? Or is it possible to make a video component with the D-video out D-video cable with cable SCART?
  Everyone last tried the channels high definition DVB-S on Qoismio using USB 2.0 DVB - S TV Card.Any opinions on Pinnacle PCTV 400e?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry, but I don t agree with you. SCART in my opinion is always better than S-Video. As far as I know cable SCART can transfer image and sound and picture just S-Video. Am I wrong?

  In my view, it's great that laptop Qosmio has two video ports and each use can make a choice.

  Another way your ad is a bit confusing to me. Qosmio G20 includes a section on the port (D-video) and as far as I know the original cable must be provided. You can see on this page http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB4A00TK000MR01.htm

  Using this cable you can easily connect your laptop to the TV.

• System drive Qosmio G20 with an image or a clone backup

  On another thread, I asked problems with Acronis True Image to backup and cloning of my system (C) disk. Whenever I'm trying to clone my system disk or recover an image, I can create and restore the image, but when I install the player recreated and tries to start, I get as much "windows did not start successfully, I would like to start in safe mode... last good config known... or normal. All the options to return to the screen.

  I have two drives 100 GB sata, with the first disc of the op system, programs and the second with my data and therefore has set up the raid as two independent disks and the raid console option disabled.

  After trying another product of cloning with the same result, I guess there is something in the Qosmio implemented that is the cause. I read that Qosmio Player is installed on a hidden partition of Linux on the system drive and am wondering if it may not be picked up by the cloning and imaging software and that may cause boot failure.

  So I have two questions. First of all, nobody knows why I might be problems starting from a clone or recovery using third party disk image backup software and second, anyone successfully upward and restore a G20 Qosmio Player system, and if so with what software and do you perform all the special functions.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Well, I use the Toshiba Recovery CD to restore the operating system on the Qosmio G20.
  It has also 2 x 100 GB, but under my computer, I saw only one a HARD drive. I created 2 partitions with the ghost (second option on the recovery CD).
  However, I have now 2 partitions but after this procedure, the Qosmio player has been removed. I though that I need to install again simply because of the Qosmio player but I tried to install the Qosmio player after the recovery procedure and it has been successfully.

  2 existing partitions and I also have a Qosmio player on my laptop.
  But one thing is very strange; I can't locate the partition in disk management.
  But everything works ok

• Qosmio G20 with Intervideo WinDVR3

  Hello

  I have a laptop Qosmio G20/395LS (purchased at the Japan) that since I converted to English Windows XP Pro SP2. I then downloaded all the drivers from Toshiba on the site of Toshiba UK, choosing the Qosmio PQG20, which is the closest model from my Japanese version. (The Toshiba to the Japan site is not all drivers available for download, that's why I used the site of Toshiba UK.)

  In any case, all functions work perfectly, except that I canoe use Intervideo WinDVR3 to watch television. It recognizes the Composite inputs and S-video but not the antenna TV input option. I have a normal TV antenna cable connected to the Qosmio and can watch TV with other software such as Qosmio Player, Windows Media Center and same Intervideo Home Theater. But not with WinDVR3 (Im using the latest version downloaded from the Web site of Interviodeo.) I don't like Windows Media Center or Intervideo Home Theater and Qosmio Player not use that by cutting off the power supply, so I defintely want to use Intervideo WinDVR.

  I contacted Intervideo, and they said that my hardware is certainly consistent, but I must have the correct WDM driver installed for the TV Tuner to operate correctly the WinDVR. Im not sure what is a WDM driver, but looks like I need to download the correct driver for the TV Tuner on this Qosmio.

  I checked Toshiba Japan website, but I saw no TV Tuner driver to download it. Ive tried a few of the drivers TV Tuner for the different models on the Web sites of UK and US Toshiba, but WinDVR still does not recognize the option antenna TV.

  Can someone point me to the right driver WDM driver that I need to get this software WinDVR3 will?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Toshiba doesn't recommend that you install the graphics drivers 3rd or any additional graphics accelerator. This may damage the video card or the motherboard.
  On the Toshiba driver page, you will find all the WDM drivers. Only the Tv tuner and graphics drivers.

  I don't know if the WinDVR is supported by Mr. antenna interface I've never checked.
  However, I found this site. If you wish, you can consult this site on WDM driver:

• Qosmio G20 error message: problem with the cooling system has been detected

  I'm trying to fix a Qosmio G20 (which is about 3 years old, it is no longer in warranty).

  Error message: Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected.

  I managed to remove the outer case and observe the operation of the machine, and basically one of the fans does not at all. The fan which is closest to the power connector seems to work very well (he seems to be turning a lot, do not know if this is normal), but the other fan who does not seem to move at all.

  When I put in place the case and on the machine, I noticed after a few minutes the vent of the fan working heat sink had warm enough, while led the non-working fan remained cool.

  I cleaned the fan from dust and have also changed the BIOS battery mode mode high performance, but the problem still exists.

  I would be grateful if someone could give advice if the problem is the fan or something else.

  If the fan is the problem, where I can buy a: i live in the United Kingdom?

  Hello

  I think there might be something wrong with the cooling module and the replacement would be necessary.
  Usually, this should be done by an authorized provider (ASP) in your country.

  Technicians could replace it with a new part and also could renew the thermal grease which is placed between the module and the CPU cooling.

  So contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

  By the way; also, you can buy the cooling of the ASP module!

  Good luck
