• Portege R700-17Z - upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello

  I currently have a Toshiba Portege R700-17Z.

  I want to increase the amount of RAM from 2 GB to 8 GB, and therefore I want to run 64-bit Windows. I was planning on running a clean reinstall, but 64-bit Windows built into this machine? Or I need a disk full?

  If I need a drive in its own right, any ideas on how to do it without an optical drive?

  Thank you very much!

  The first news on RAM upgrade: you're right. You can upgrade your Portege up to 8 GB and 4 GB compatible modules have part number PA3677U-1M4G.

  According to the specifications of the laptop your Portege shipped with WIN7 32 BIT PROFESSIONAL, but it is supported for Win7 64 bit. 64-bit drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utility can be downloaded from the Toshiba download page.

  Now what is your decision? If you need assistance with installing the OS let us know.

• Portege R700 - upgrade Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit and memory question

  I recently bought Portge R700 and am disappointed by the memory. I have a license of Windows 7 64-bit edition: what problems can arise if I update? Once installed, I can then use 8 MB of RAM.

  Moreover, I found the reagrding misleading Web site the option of using the 8 MB of RAM with the32-bit OS. I have 4Mb installed, years to see that only 2.86 MB is usable.

  I get "out of memory" messages and would like to know how to allocate more memory to live for video.

  Tom's right. If you want to use the 64-bit operating system, you must do clean install operating system. All drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one.
  If you need assistance with installing Win7 let us know.

  I put t know for what purposes do you use your laptop and what applications are important for your daily work, but, in general, I don t think you will have problems using 64 bit OS. Please keep in mind that all additional software is 64-bit capable and everything will be OK.

  As far as I know laptop user doesn't have the influence of the use of video memory and it runs automatically. It is unclear to me that you can change these settings and set how much RAM can be used for video operations.

  Anyway, Portege R700 is nice for laptop with sufficient power for daily use and also for use with standard applications. I don t think you ve bought this laptop for games.

• Portege R700 - impossible to pass to Windows 10

  I have a Portege r700 with original Windows 7 OEM installation.

  Windows 7 is updated and program update Windows upgrade me to Windows 10 offer.

  The upgrade process begins very well, download & pre-configures all the stuff, and then finally ask me to reboot the system to continue with the upgrade.

  After a few seconds, the restart process is launched and load... the current Windows 7 system, saying that there was an error during the upgrade process.

  I did some tests; I'm also a fan of Linux, so I tried to boot the system with a LiveCD of my distributions preferred: after loading of the quick menu asking what I want to do (the liveCD boot, installation, diagnose, etc), it restarts... and show me again the quick menu (quick menu is GRUB, kernel functionality has not been loaded right now).

  I understand that 'something' (and I guess it's system restore Toshiba) let me start on something other than the original partition, preventing the upgrade of Windows 10.

  Any idea?

  I was offered the free update on my R700-12U and R930-1DK Toshibas--and did the updates without any problem. However, if I understand it right, the R700 is not on the list of evolutionary units, but it has worked very well on my own, from up-to-date W7.

• Cannot use 8 GB in Portege R700

  Hello

  I had 2 x 2 GB PC3 10600 ram in my R700 (i3) running Windows 7 x 64.

  I have a few sticks of 4 GB of ram, I wanted to update my laptop 8 GB total.

  I put in the memory which consists of:
  1 x 4 GB PC3 12800
  1 x 4 GB PC3 10600

  The laptop comes on the screen where it says "Starting Windows" and looks like it freezes before windows animation.

  If I try to use 1 x 4 GB (two speeds) and 1 x 2 GB, then Windows starts fine, but there is a problem when I use both the 4 GB sticks.

  I tested the ram with Memtest and they pass the tests.

  If I put the bars of 4 GB of RAM in a R840 (Windows 8.1 Pro), it starts very well.
  If I put the bars of 4 GB of RAM in a R700 (i5 running Windows 8.1 Pro), this also starts very well.

  If I try to put in the sticks of 2 x 4 GB of ram in the R700 i3 and trying to install Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 then happens to the screen that says "Windows is loading files" and the progress bar ends but then the screen goes all white and the fan runs but nothing else happens.

  I have 8 GB of ram in the R700 i3, so I don't know that it supports. The BIOS detects it has 8 GB of ram when I inserted them and the BIOS is updated to the latest version which is 2.20 iirc.

  Anyone can shed light on the problem?

  Hi Borito

  If the specification states that your model of laptop can handle with 8 GB of RAM, that we should not discuss this topic.
  By RAM upgrade is important to use 100% compatible and two modules of identical RAM (same specifications).
  I tested it on my machine using too much standard and a cheap RAM and my machine was dead. With two modules of identical RAM, everything is OK.

  Can you please send the name of the exact model of your laptop Portege (R700-xxx) and I'll try to find the exact reference for 4 GB of RAM for this model of laptop.

• Portege R700 - quick as lightning!

  Despite some reports of 'flaky' and similar operation, I decided to tear off my HARD drive and slap a SSD and W7 Pro 64 bit on my portege R700-184

  flippin heck its the thing to the top fast!

  I used a base of sandforce OCZ Vertex 2 120 GB drive and the Retail Media to install the 64-bit windows. It's with any other firmware or software update for the SSD or Laptop, so right on the box

  Before starting from cold to 95 seconds, down to 23 seconds on the SSD used! and he wakes up from his sleep in 4 seconds! VERY impressed!

  Similarly the 64-bit operating system has improved my WEI scores the CPU is 6.5 to 6.9, the RAM of 5.4 to 5.9 and obviously the SSD took a hard drive of 5.9 to a burning 7.4 :-)

  excellent upgrade in the embryonic stages, I will present long-term stable after that I have all my drivers and running upward and restore my files!

• Portege R700 - problems with video playback with resolution more 360 p

  I have this problem of video playback on the first day. While for example on YouTube, video resolution than 360 freeze while the sound is ok.

  I contacted Toshiba whereby I had a linke for the bios and latest drivers. After the upgrade question persists. Sometimes I get a green screen by watching the video flash as well. I guess it's a hardware graphics card problem. Any ideas? Thank you! (Portege R700 19 L, win7 pro 64)

  Do you have this problem in full-screen-only mode or in full and normal mode?

• Replacing the drive HARD on Portege R700

  Hello

  I just ordered a R700 and hope to upgrade the HARD drive of 320 GB for one SSD OCZ Vertex 2.
  Is it easy to replace the hard drive in the R700? Should I remove the keyboard is a Panel on the back?
  What size hard disk will - 2.5 "or 1.8"?
  A SSD will be simply connect using existing connections, or something else there?

  See you soon.

  According to the specifications of the laptop Portege R700 has 2.5 HARD drive is HDD with SATA interface, so I think that you should order 2.5 SSD with standard SATA connectors.

  HARD drive is placed on the bottom side near the cooling vent and it is fixed with a screw only.

  Remove the screws and HARD drive. You will see how the HARD disc is placed and how it must be removed.
  It's very simple and you can do it alone.

• Portege R700 - 11G - high and annoying fan noise

  Dear friends:

  I have a Portege R700 - 11G, I bought only two weeks ago.

  The computer works fine, except for the high and annoying fan noise.

  Even do nothing, only to start and sometimes in the bios Setup, the fan is always turn with a temperature of 40 ° or 50.

  I've updated the BIOS and I don't know what to do.

  Can someone help me please?
  Thank you very much.

  Hi mate

  Please check the settings in the Windows 7 power management!

  There you can optimize the CPU and cooling performance module this should help reduce heat dissipation and fan speed.

  In addition I recommend upgrading the Toshiba Fingerprint Software immediately to the version V1.0.2.32 or higher. In addition, turn off the power save option of fingerprint device in Device Manager.

  Device Manager->-> authentic Tec Inc AES1610-> the power management of biometric devices

  Here, you will have to remove the mark next to the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
  Disable the power saving mode will reduce the life of the battery, so you can check whether or not it helps reduce noise.

• Portege R700-17Z - Linux Mint suspend related questions

  Hello. I've been running Linux (Mint 12, 64) successfully on the cell above. Only nagging problem, is that the brightness adjustment does not work once the machine went to suspend and vice versa. He also seems to be a problem related to hang with one of the USB ports.

  I hope that an update of the BIOS to 2.20 could improve things. T it?
  I found two versions of the BIOS. There is a stand alone ISO dated Jan 2012 you can be burned on a CD and the computer restarts from there. However, the README file. TXT, said
  README FILE. CDC TXT 2012-01-23
  ACPI BIOS Flash version 2.20 for Portege R700/R705 (* PT310U/PT311U/PT314U *)

  Does anyone know if it is safe and if it works the upgrade to this BIOS that does not seem to include PT310E? ("E" stands for Europe and "U" for the United States?)

  Second option is to try to http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20120207132338.zip whose support site allows in what concerns the P310E. I have to install Windoze 7 on another drive hard (I deleted it from my drive) and run this update of windows (I think it's necessary).

  Any ideas, I would be grateful...

  Hello Velastin

  As you probably know Toshiba doesn't support Linux and all updates, including updates to the BIOS, are offered for better functionality with operating system Windows. To be honest I have don t think that this update of the BIOS can help you, in your ad, the issues described.

  Have you tried to exchange their experiences on some Linux specific forum.

• Portege R700 and Win 7 Update detects not SP1

  Hello

  I have a Portege R700-1E8 with Win7 Pro.
  WinUpdate detects no SP1, but it has detected the other updates and installed their (the SO is enabled).

  If I install SP1 manually (downloaded as iso from Microsoft Download site file) it seems to be installed without problems.
  Yet, I picked up the phone to the original state and tried to detect the windows updates again.

  There are many upgrades available, but without SP1 AND IE9.

  Any ideea?
  Thank you

  Costin

  Hello

  > If I install SP1 manually (downloaded as iso from Microsoft Download site file) it seems to be installed without problems.

  So where is the problem if you were able to install SP1 manually?
  I had also some problems to install the patches in the past, that I could not install patches after system reboot and disable a 3rd party firewall, I could install necessary updates who received automatically by Windows 7.

  However, SP1 can be installed manually and it should be possible to install other patches automatically, so in this case, I wouldn't be worried

• Portege R700-19 t - new RAM-> start is no longer

  Hello together,

  so I bought two new RAM sticks for my old laptop
  Toshiba Portege R700-19 t

  But since I installed them, the machine does not start in an operating system more.
  The installed Windows 7 64 bit goes to a black screen before the windows at Startup logo (even in safe mode). And after a few seconds, the fans will quickly but nothing seems to happen.

  The next thing I tried was a (12.04) ubuntu live dvd. But it does not either. No error message or anything, just an automatic restart after a few seconds of black screen.

  The next thing was memtest86 + v4.20:
  It crashes immediately sometimes a black screen and sometimes at this http://i.imgur.com/eJqIyDp.jpg .
  I tested my new two sticks together and alone, still the same problem. The old ones that work perfectly and not crash of memtest.

  In the BIOS is the only thing on the memory and then it sees the correct "Total memory size 8192 MB.

  In my understanding of both new sticks should work well with my laptop, or am I missing something?

  concerning

  For me, the question is clear enough; the laptop does not start because of new RAM modules.

  The new RAM modules are not totally compatible, or the RAM modules are defective.

  I recommend you test an other modules; for example modules manufactured by Kingston.

• How to reset the sensor of fingerprint on Portege R700-174?

  Hello!

  my "problem":

  on my portege (r700-174), I run a win7 (which was preinstalled on your laptop), a victory for 8.1. and for some is true the technical preview of win10

  all systems are protected by password and fingerprints.

  also the win10-test system (for test prints digital-utility in win10)

  now, I deleted an old generation of win10 and do a new install with the latest version

  Unfortunately I forgort to cancel the registration of the fingerprint I had entered with this old win10 - so now this finger cannot be used
  to be entered for the new win10 (or any other system)

  My question

  is it possible to reset it completely (clear all the fingerprints for all systems) the fingerprintscanner out of one of my systems running or to cancel the registration of the
  Fingerprints for this system, which does not exist anymore on my portege?

  Thanks for the tips

  Kurt

  The fingerprints are stored on the fingerprint sensor and you will need to follow the instructions of this Toshiba document to remove your scans of fingerprints.
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/items/FAQ/386

  In the case that this procedure does not work, only the Toshiba certified maintainer would be able to erase fingerprints users digital related privacy information on the fingerprint sensor fingerprint flash.

• Portege R700-S1321 - cannot set the resolution of 1366 x 768

  I have exactly the same problem, as shown in:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64809

  The resolution of the laptop to random times and intervals seems to support a maximum of 1280 x 700, which translates into a 2 inch black bar on the right side and the button start Windows 7 off the screen.

  Currently its stuck in the resolution of the screen and no matter what I may not make it back to normal 1366 x 768.

  External monitors very well with the laptop work.

  Its 2.20 BIOS execution that seems to me later.

  It seems that the intel driver must get some information that is incorrect.
  Research on different forums and using moninfo, I see that the internal display does not support EDID and settings appear to be set by the registry somehow.

  I also tried to make an EDID override by creating an inf file that is customized with Moninfo, but appears not to the question of the effect.

  I also tried to restore from the recovery many times discs without success.
  During the installation of windows occurs, the screen is fine.
  When Toshiba additional programs are added to the screen returns to the 1280 x 700.
  I suspect that what happens when the graphics driver intel is installed.

  If I boot the laptop in safe mode resolution is 1366 x 768, which seems to suggest that it is the driver who has a problem.

  Anyone else had this issue and understand how to fix it? I see also that intel do not support EDID override.

  Any idea is appreciated. Thank you.

  > If I boot the laptop in safe mode resolution is 1366 x 768, which seems to suggest that it is the driver who has a problem.

  I think you are on the right track, and I think that his untimely pilot.
  That's why I recommend you to uninstall the Intel graphics driver in Device Manager.

  PORTEGE R700-S1321 was equipped with the Intel® Core i5 - 520 M processor and this processor supports the Intel® HD graphics card

  The latest Intel HD driver can be downloaded directly from the page of Intel:
  [Driver for Intel Core with Intel HD Graphics processors | https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics& ProductLine = graphic + portable + pilots & ProductProduct = Intel % C2% AE + Core E2% 84% A2 + processors + with + Intel % 2 C % AE + HD + Graphics & ProdId = 3231 & LineId 1101 = & FamilyId = 39]

  I need to download the zip package.
  Then you can install the driver through Device Manager by using the Advanced installation procedure. This allows you to link directly to this zip package. Windows system would automatically take the driver. After restarting again you that would have settled the last drivers and you should change your resolution.
