• Question of Qosmio G20

  This is the worst phone I've ever had buying it was a mistake and I will never buy a Toshiba a new.

  Hmm I put t agree with you friend
  I got the Qosmio G20 in the past and I was really happy with this laptop.
  It was my first powerful multimedia notebook and I was satisfied.
  I had some other laptop manufacturers happened, but no one was so powerful as a Qosmio...

  Now, after two years of use I sold that baby because I bought the G50.
  It supports more than features such as the G20 and supports the Toshiba Quad Core HD CPU, which was the main reason for the passage of the G20 to the G50.

  I work with many multimedia applications and it is a dream.

• Question on Qosmio G20 tuner: NTSC and PAL use possible?

  I think to buy one of these machines, but I want to learn more about the internal tv tuner.

  -It is possible to change NTSC to PAL etc.? If so, how do you that?

  -What are the frequencies that it can pick up - is that it is set in that you are buying this machine, or it is set so that she can receive channels of television in other countries?

  Look forward to your responses.

  Hello David

  On the laptop preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition Toshiba TV feature does not work outside the country where the unit is purchased.

  As far as I know that the TV Tuner is specific to the country in which the notebook is purchased. This is evident in the case of the PAL (European standard) versus NTSC (North American standard), but also includes deviations to the PAL standard that can be found in all of these countries that use it for their television shows.

  The Microsoft Windows Media center Edition OS is only configured for use in the country in which the laptop was purchased. Similarly, foreign users who bring computers, portable foreigners in the other country will be unable to use the TV Tuner for the same reasons. Even exchange the TV Tuner for one that matches the country in which is used the laptop will not work.

• 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

• Question about updating the BIOS for Qosmio G20

  I downloaded the updated the BIOS of my pc, not the Qosmio, the instructions say it will unpack into 3 files, one being a floppy disk installation. When I unzip on my desktop pc, it makes a file that s too big for a floppy and he won t unzip further because it locks up my pc.

  Is it safe to make it work on my desktop pc it can unzip then in the three files and this will affect my BIOS or y at - it somewhere that I can download the floppy part on its own to load on a floppy?

  Hello

  Just a question;
  You have downloaded the Qosmio G20 BIOS on the desktop computer, unpacked and now you want it please on the diskette in the floppy drive.
  Is this good?

  So now my suggestion;
  Firstly that the Qosmio G20 BIOS and other BIOS Toshiba cannot be updated using the floppy! This isn't traditional BIOS!
  The BIOS from the Toshiba page must be updated when the Windows operating system is running!

  By the way: you can unpack the BIOS on your desktop computer, but don t try to run all files, because the bad BIOS can damage the motherboard ROM module!

• Question about infrared on Qosmio G20

  Infrared remote works well but infrared inside on the front side of the machine is not working at all there at - it a driver for a Qosmio G20 to activate it? or is there a driver hiding in the machine, some were?

  Considers that Franklin.

  Hello

  According to the specs of your device IrDA is not available and cannot be used to transfer data. Please check the entry in Device Manager.

• 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.

  Hello

  If the manual indicates that only 2 GB are possible then you can move the RAM only to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB module)

  I thing the laptop supports the Intel 915 PM chipset and it supports 2 GB of RAM.

  Hello

  First of all, you are right. This very nice laptop s. I wish I would have a.
  Good on your problems:

  1.), you should try to change the display resolution. It would be very interesting to know if the black dots remains on the screen. In addition, I put t think that it s a pixel dead issue because you don t have problems if watch you movies.

  2.) have you used a Qosmio Player or a MCE? You should try to start the Qosmio player and try to launch a new search for TV channels. In the manual, you will find a detailed description of a connection and the use of the Q drive

  3.) have you activated the Bluetooth with FN + F8 key combination?
  Please check this post how to use a Bluetooth device:

• Qosmio G20: Questions on MCE Recovery CD/DVD

  A few months back, I bought this laptop Qosmio G20. It s cool. I live in Asia where media center edition is not launched with this series. I have a Windows XP home edition with this laptop. Can someone tell me if it is possible for me to format this OS and install MCE on this laptop? And where I could get a recovery cd/dvd edition of Media Center? What is the procedure to install Media Center Edition of restore cd if I get a? And someone wants to share their media center edition cd recovery with me would be great.

  pls contact me on this email address [email protected]

  Thank you very much (:)

  Hello Anand

  AFAIK only devices with tuner TV have installed MCE and you can get the MCE OS recovery CD if you bought it with the Toshiba unit. If your laptop comes with Windows XP Home you can only get this form of recovery CD service partner. However, you can use the original cd of Microsoft Windows MCE. Then you can try to download all of the necessary drivers from the Toshiba site.

• Question about dual OS on Qosmio G20

  Have purchased a Qosmio G20 by the NHS. However the computer has been recreated to all machines include Win Xp, Office 2000, patches, check virus etc. to allow him to sit on the Exchange Server. Lost all data which however library, Qosmio Player. I don't know re-install by CD revovery discs. Can it work on dual OS, if I install on another partition? Help!
  HE says they can re-create the image to the characteristics of the original, but won't be able to sit through the network.

  Options?

  Hello

  If you want to recover your system first you must install the Qosmio Player, Media Center, and then the OS. The Qosmio player erased all your files on the HARD disk if you install the operating system first. In addition, you can use your laptop with dual operating system. You need to create a primary partition and you can install the second operating system. To create the partition, you can use partition Magic 8. It s interesting a tool.

• 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!

• Question about memory upgrade and warranty - Qosmio G20

  I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Qosmio G20, but if I buy little ram in a store and fix myself (replacing the old RAM) void my warranty? (it is still covered by the extended warranty now)

  Don t worry! You can upgrade the memory and the guarantee will be cancelled not!
  You can do it yourself. It is very easy and I presume that the detailed statement is in of the Qosmio G20 user manual.

• Qosmio G20: DVD region Code?

  Hello

  I am about to purchase a Qosmio G20 wasn't what I just learned today that they won't be available mid-2005 in Belgium.

  However, in preparation since then, I have a few questions:

  Because the Qosmio is a DVD playback mode without having to start Windows, this means that the region will be probably set somewhere in the Bios for a given region.

  Travel laptop users and my partner is American, so we have DVD region 1 and 2.

  Are there any evolution of the WinDVD software when running on Qosmio the failing lock a region code after X play. I've never understood that laptops (mobile systems) have the same restrictions as the reception of readers of DVD/entertainment (whow by the way no one knows!)

  So, how can we play the two regions on the Qosmio G20 or anything that will be available for the Belgium.

  Thank you
  Danny

  Post edited by: Danny

  The bounding can be changed 5 times.

  After the last selected region Code is saved in the DVD player.

  But also, there are a lot of programs (Freeware) that help make your life easier and work around this Limitation.

  The only thing that you can do this through precaution is to google all over the place.

  Good bye
