Qosmio G20-127: How to upgrade the GPU

Hi,
I want to change the video card of my Qosmio G20 - 127 with better one. Can someone tell me, is this possible and what better video card can i use.

Hi
I can tell you that this is not possible because the GPU is always soldered on the board and its not possible to remove it on common way.
So unfortunately but you have o forget this!

Qosmio G20-127: Screen blackout after closing the lid on Vista

Hi,
I have Qosmio G20-127 and I've recently installed Vista Ultimate Edition (32-bit). I managed to bring everything to its place (except the magic buttons, but the drivers are not out yet), but I have a problem that is seriously making me reconsider going back to XP MCE.
When I close the lid of my computer the display naturally goes off, but when I open it up again it does not turn on, but it stays black. And I can't make it turn on again no matter what. I have to turn off the entire computer and that is quite impractical.
Funny thing is that after restart for about 20-30 minutes I can open and close the lid normally, but after a little longer work on the computer the same problem occurs.
The problem persists even after I turned off every action remotely connected to closing the lid.
Does anyone have any solution?

Hi J,
thanks for your help but my BIOS update won't install. I get the message "[Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed."
About the powersaver, I didn't install additional powersaver program as I was told it would conflict with Vista's Mobility Center (FranciscoJr's Guide to installing Vista), but all the options regarding closing lid are turned off (Do nothing option).
There are two more new things I observed and might be indicative of the problem, but I don't know what to make of it.
1. When I close the lid I hear 'disconnected device sound'
2. And the screen sometimes comes back if the s-video cable (leading to my tv) is plugged out (usually it was always in coz I use Q20 as a media center as well)
Of course that made me think that it might be a problem in Graphic Card, but I've installed the most recent driver.
So now I'm pretty much clueless as what to do.

Widcomm 5.0.1.1200 drivers on Qosmio G20-127

Is there any possibility to install Widcomm Bluetooth software drivers on Qosmio G20-127? I want to use them instead of Toshiba and Microsoft Bluetooth stacks. I have modified btwusb.inf file in Widcomm 5.0.1.1200 with my own PID and VID (taken from Toshiba inf file) but I am unable to install the drivers yet.

I looked into it, You can force windows to use the widcomm drivers, But there is a chance you will completley muck everything up. I read on a forum that a system restore wouldnt fix the toshiba bluetooth after trying the drivers.
I found a site where they are discuss the problems in more detail.
Where they keep updated on the current drivers
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=563654
and where they tell you about bugs that may occur when installing.

my bluetooth works perfect, so im not about to try anything, but good luck..

TV tuner doesn't work on Vista - Qosmio G20-127

My TV tuner doesn't work on Qosmio G20-127. Or should I be more specific it is not recognised at all, Media Center says there is not tuner hardware. I don't even know where would I install the driver, even if I had it. The only unrecognized device in device menager is 'Multimedia Video Controller'.
Did anyone have this problem or maybe still does? What are my options? Besides going back to WIN XP MCE. :)

So, I managed to find G30 driver for the TV tuner and installed it to 'Multimedia Video Controler'. And it seems to work. I downloaded the driver from toshiba's official site[url href=http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?macId=&mode=allMachines&userOS=& action=search&selCategory=2&selFamily=381&selSerie s=171&selProduct=627&selOS=26&selType=218&country= 52&language=13&search=]here[/url].

How to upgrade the hard disk of the nomad jukebox

I read the FAQ of nomad on nomadness.net, I wanna know how to upgrade the hard disk of old nomad jukebox with a bigger one?
I also read a artical on tom's hardware about this,
http://www7.tomshardware.com/mobile/20000/mp3-3.html
but he gave a link
http://www.kuren.org/jukebox
that is not available. He mentioned that it need to clone the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk to the new one, but I have not the old hard disk( I bought a second hand nomad jukebox without the original hard disk). How should I do?
Does someone have the image file of the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk?
Thank you!

That was the old method before Creative published their Bootcode Flasher software.
Follow the instructions here:
http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php...ticle&artid=24
All files mentioned are available somewhere on Nomadness. Also check out the sticky thread in their JB section of the forum as it lists what hard dri'ves will work in a JB and which ones won't. I hope you haven't already bought your upgrade hard dri've.
I used the above method without any problems and now have a 20GB JB.

Upgrading the GPU, CPU and RAM of my Laptop n201ax

This maybe is a really long post but please answer because i really need answers for each one of these questions and i really want to upgrade my laptop to the best configuration If i Can.Let me make this clear first.* In the upcoming content the words "this laptop" always refers to Hp Pavilion 15-n201ax*
Okay so first of all i read somewhere that the maximum Ram of this laptop can be expanded till 16gb but the i came up with this link here -http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Hardware-Upgrades-Replacements/I-would-like-to-upgrade-memory-of-my-laptop-HP-15-n201ax/td-p/5146905 And then i came to know that it can only be upgraded to 12gb by reading Page #2 Chapter 1 Description of this Guide-http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04438537.pdfFirst of all i would like to ask is that, 1. Can i buy a ram of any brand but ofc the same clock speed ie 1600mhz?, so can i go for the GSkill 4gb 1600Mhz DDR3 ram?2. Does the size matter to the respective slots? or i can install the 8gb and 4gb ram in any alternate slots? So this was all about the RAM But i need to know if i can change the discrete GPU and APU of this laptop3. And if Yes - Which are the compatible mobile GPU's that i can install by removing the previous one ie AMD 8600M (For example the R9, R7 and R5 Laptop graphics)4. And Which are the compatible APU's that i can install by removing the previous APU ie AMD A10-4655M APU (For example the AMD FX APU for Laptops)5. If i can upgrade the GPU and APU both please tell that does the compatibility matters? like only a specific GPU can work with a specific APU ie like in this laptop AMD A10-4655M APU + AMD 8600M GPU. Please Help Me out, Please.Thanks in advance.

Pavilion 15-n201ax? We are going to need to refer to the Service Manual here: Your Service Manual Officially, it only supports 12 gigs. Your model has a single 8 gig module so you have an open slot. Unofficially, may users here have reported that adding another 8 gigs to make a total of 16 gigs will work fine. But that is something you take the risk of doing, since it is unofficial. The part numbers for the proper memory are listed on page 42. You need DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM. If you are going to go official, the 4 gig module is: 691740-001 This is it on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/HP-691740-001-1600MHz-PC3L-12800-memory/dp/B00CI08FX4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437948185&sr=8-1&keywords=691740-001 You should just leave the 8 gig where it is and add the new memory in the open slot. On your model laptop, the GPU/APU is soldered to the motherboard. In order to do any upgrade you would need to buy a new motherboard. You have a whole incorrect idea that the GPU/APU can be removed and replaced and this is incorrect. The term APU means a processor that has video built in so the whole question about compatibility between GPUs and APUs just misses the mark. On some systems the GPU/APU is socketed and can be replaced which serves to replace/upgrade both the processor and video function but as stated above, on yours this involves pulling and replacing the whole motherboard. There is a slightly better processor/graphics available using the AMD A10-5745M 8670M (2.9 GHz/2.1 GHz, 2 GB L2, 1333MHz DDR3L Quad 25W) for use with Windows Standard. The motherboard part is 734824-501 HP does not stock the board but I found this online: http://www.discounteddealz.com/product.asp?itemid=327740&gclid=CO78y6rn-cYCFQmCaQodOP0GLQ Never heard of this seller and can't vouch but the price is very reasonable for that board. I expected it to be quite a bit more which makes me wonder about this seller a bit. I would advise keeping what you have. It is very strong for AMD and upgrading to the A10-5745 board will only result in a very small uptick in performance at a very high cost in money and effort. If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it. Hey sorry but i should have mentioned this before, I live in India and the links you provided are for amazon.comi tried to search on amazon.in and eneded up with this http://www.amazon.in/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=HP+691740-001+4GB%2C+1600MHz%2C+PC3L-12800+DDR3L+DIMM&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AHP+691740-001+4GB\c+1600MHz\c+PC3L-12800+DDR3L+DIMM Instead, can i get this one ? beacuse the hp one on the above result costs 41% more than the Transcend one below and that's very much http://www.amazon.in/Transcend-4GB-DDR3L-1600-LAPTOP/dp/B00B5LOOJG/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1437984575&sr=1-2&keywords=ddr3l+4gb+1600mhz And last thing is that Will the performance be better if i go for Ram branks like Corsair or GSkill same types of memory?

Qosmio G35-av600: How to use the internal display as a monitor using composite-in?

I want to hook up my video game system and use my laptop monitor, but I can not figure out how to change the settings so that my monitor displays the video game? Composite in settings?
I have a G35-av600 purchased last june. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know

Hi
Im not sure if I can help you because I know only something about the Qosmio G10 and G20 and your Qosmio seems to be a US notebook but I will try my best ;)
On the Qosmio G10 for example you have to change the input settings in the Toshiba picture enhancement utility but I assume you dont have this tool preinstalled.
But I think the composite in is a right jack to built the connection with the game station.
I think in the Advanced graphic card settings you should be able to find the right options.
Play a little bit with this settings.

Satellite C650-1CP - Is it possible to upgrade the GPU?

Hi
I just wanted to ask a question about my graphics card in regards to gaming.
I just recently found out that integrated graphics chips arent that good for gaming so i done a little reading into the subject and found something saying that there is a possibility that you can send the laptop to the manufacturer and purchase a chip upgrade or pay to get a better one installed.
Is this possible? and if it is, what sort of price would you be looking at. My laptop is a C650-1CP as i said in the title.
Thanks
kjlwhitehead

Hi
No, this is definitely not possible.
There are plenty of threads about this theme and GPU (graphic card) upgrade is definitely NOT possible.
Please check this Toshiba doc:

How to upgrade the Oracle Client silently ?

Hi all,
I have to upgrade the Oracle Client from 8.1.6.0.0 to 9.2.0.1.0.
I use the -record option for creating the destination file or edit the response file manually for being able to install the new client. But I have no idea, how to remove the old client.
The following command doesn't work:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\oui\install\setup.exe" -deinstall DEINSTALL_LIST={"oracle.client","8.1.6.0.0"}
What am I doing wrong? How to remove the Oracle Client silently?
Thanks for the help and best wishes from Frankfurt.

You still have to manually update/remove the PATH & TNS_ADMIN environment variables and the file system directories.

Re: Qosmio G20 blocked on JBOD in the BIOS

Hi,
I have a problem with the Toshiba Qosmio G20-109 .
The system does not start, the two hard drives in JBOD (unable to start Windows).
HDD1 - 120GB
HDD2 - 250GB
So I wanted to put the first HDD 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 by reaching install an OS.
I hope there is a solution.

It's simple.
1RAID-0: HDD 1
JBOD: HDD 2
DVD Drive does not boot a modified Windows. I had an official version that starts but does not have the driver.
I created a CD with the driver using nLite but he did not recognize.
I found on the internet a CD Win XP SP3 Toshiba OEM.
Miraculously, he possessed the RAID drivers and recognized the hard drives that allowed me to install Windows.
I installed Windows on the HDD 1 and I just formatted the HDD 2.
Thereafter, I installed Windows 7 with the driver.
Toshiba RAID: 1.11.17
Toshiba RAID Virtual Device: 1.1.0.0
I updated the firmware of the DVD drive : D100> D101> D102 it allowed me to start the CD created with nLite.
All drivers are up to date for Windows 7.
Only the buttons to the TV does not work (touch keys) !!

Qosmio G50-10J: How to replace the Optical Disc Drive (ODD)?

Hello there,
the optical drive of my Qosmio G 50 is not working properly anymore, it reads only some movie-DVDs, but sadly no videogameDVDs at all, so I cannot instal any games.
The warranty has already expired too. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to change the drive myself, if it is then how should I do it, and if by doing it would the laptop be in
serious risk of getting damaged?
I would be very thankful for every tip and every help you guys can give me!!!
Best regards,
a.z.

Hi
In different cases the ODD replacement is not very tricky.
If you want you can check this forum category.
Here you can find some videos how to replace the ODD on different notebook models:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=115
Here is also a nice Youtube channel which provides the instructions how to replace the ODD:
http://www.youtube.com/user/toshibaeuropesupport
But maybe the ODD laser lens is dirty. In my case I could solve similar issue cleaning the laser lens using a cotton-wool tip and alcohol.
But be careful doing this!

How to upgrade the Admin Server to WLS 9.2.3 while Managed on 9.2.2

HI,
I have a WLS 9.2.2 domain with Admin and 2 Managed instances clustered. Admin and Managed Servers are on different machines.
I want to upgrade only the Admin Server to WLS 9.2 MP3 while all my Managed Servers are in WLS 9.2 MP2.
Can any one provide me the detailed steps on how to upgrade only the Admin server to WLS 9.2 MP3?
And I read in the Weblogic documentation that this supported. But could not find any detailed steps on how to upgrade only the Admin server to the Major version.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
1. "And I read in the Weblogic documentation that this supported". Can you please provide the link or documenation that exactly says that this is Supported ???
2. As far as I know, one of the basic requirements for Weblogic Cluster with managed servers across different remote machines is, all the machines, Admin and Managed Servers machines should have Exact Same Version (including Service Pack) of WLS deployed. Right now I do not have this link on top of my head. But this is the only Supported and one basic requirement for Weblogic Cluster.
Since WLS uses all Shared Modules and each Shared module do have like Implementation and Specification Version. If you upgrade admin server domain, most probably config.xml file will be upgraded with all modules version as 10.0.2.3 (something like that). This means when you restart Managed Servers, they will get a new copy of config.xml file from admin server machine. So now on Managed Servers all these modules (10.0.2.3 etc) should exist on their local machines. This is just my thought.
Thanks
