Any Word On Toshiba Portege Laptops Capable of Using SDXC Storage

I am excited to read about Toshiba being the front runner in bringing SDXC technology to the shop in 2010 on the order of 64gb of storage. Any word out yet about laptops (portege tablets in particular) which will be able to use this technology?

Hi all,
After a few months of ubuntu LTS on this S100, I can now happily report that the 2009.02 CD does now support the SATA chipset in this device and I'm now happily using Arch on three of my four Servers/PCs/Laptops.
If I can just get arch to work on my Samsung NC10 I'll then be Microsoft free. :D:D:D
Subject changed from UNRESOLVED to RESOLVED.

Toshiba Portege Problem: *Battery is not charging and web camera initialization failed.*

Hi,
I am having problems with my Toshiba Portege laptop. 1) Once laptop opens, window appears which says, "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer." Not sure what happened why the web cam application did not run properly. 2) Battery won't charge. When clicking the battery icon, it just says, "0% available plugged in, charging." I can not open my laptop when the cord is unplugged.
Appreciate if you can help me or any advice.
Thanks,

always good to tell what Portege and what system is running...
anyway -
to #1
an autostart process requests the camera, maybe Skype?
some web cams on USB ports do take some time
been initialised especially when attached via hub.
Windows boot sequences do not wait until they finished.
if the camera is working after a while than thats here the
case despite that message and it can be ignored.
to #2
forget the software symbol for the purpose of the question -
on any notebook you should see a battery symbol/LED
somewhere on the case. its yellowish/orange when
charging green when battery is full. if it doesn't change into green
(overnight charging) the battery is faulty or even missing...

Any word on when Windows 10 will become available for Qosmio X75-7180

I have the Windows 10 "Get Windows 10" taskbar button and am still waiting for a notification that "Windows 10 is ready for my specific PC." Any word from Toshiba about when this will happen? I have a Surface Pro 2 that upgraded to Windows 10 last week, and so far it's been awesome - very fast and snappy, easy to use, and the upgrade process was a snap. I've heard of people having trouble upgrading from the website, so I'm waiting until I get the specific notice so that I know all the customized drivers are baked into the system.

Here's a little more informaiont.

Toshiba Portege S100-S1133 Laptop - Intenet (Cable or Wireless) cuts off when phone rings

Toshiba Portege S100-S1133 Laptop, Intel(R) Pentium(R) M, processor 1.73GHz 795MHz, 512 MB of RAM. Internet (cable or wireless - COMCAST service) cuts off when the house phone (AT&T service) rings. The HP Laptop in the house doesn't have this problem. COMCAST can't fix the problem.

The only way to fix the problem entirely is to not have any 2.4GHz cordless phones in the house. You can try to change the wireless channel on your router but it probably won't be far enough from the 2.4GHz phones to help. I assume when you say it shares internet you mean that your home computer is connected in the back with ethernet and that is why the internet stays up on it. Your MBP connects wirelessly so it disconnects when the phone is in use.
Go to 192.168.1.1. Log in by leaving username blank and password is admin. [Follow these instructions|http://www.tutorial5.com/content/view/155/79> to change anything you need to (such as if you have unsecured wireless). Click wireless and under basic wireless settings you probably have channel 6 by default. Try channel 1. (Though you can also get into problems with wireless networks of neighbors interfering so download [Airport Radar|http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/networking_security/airportradar .html] and try to avoid channels that are nearby).
As I said the only solution is not using 2.4GHz phones.

Hard Disk Replacement for Toshiba Portege R500-S5006X

I have a Toshiba Portege R500-S5006X which is out of warranty. I would like to replace the hard disk. What hard disk should I purchase? What is the maximum capacity (size in GB), maximum RPM speed and size in inches I can use in this laptop? Will a SATA-2 hard disk work in this laptop? Any other information I need to know about the hard disk replacment? I would be happy to get an answer from an official Toshiba technician.
Thanks,
dandanl

I don't know if the Toshiba people who post here are technicians, I suspect not, so you might be waiting for a while if that's the only person you would accept information from...
At any rate, the standard drive in that computer looks like it is a SATA 2.5" 9.5mm thick.
The following is a spec page for one of the stock drive options (they used a couple different drives, but pretty much equivalent)
http://storage.toshiba.com/storagesolutions/archived-models/MK1646GSX
As far as something of a larger capacity working, it should be fine, just keep in mind that a physically larger drive might not fit, so keep the height to 9.5mm

Archlinux on toshiba portege p2000 (2000)

Hi,
I just got toshiba portege 2000 from my employer with windows xp on it. I would really like to install my favourite system (archlinux) on it, but I have no idea how. The ways I excluded are:
1: CD instalation. The only cd-rom I have is on pcmcia, and I does not work on boon.
2: USB stick install. Portege 2000 wont boot from usb.
Do you have any ideas that could help me. I really like the hardware but I will give it to another employee if it doesn't run linux.
Thanks in advance,
mdv

Do you have a desktop computer you can take apart? You can get adapters pretty cheaply to let you plug laptop drives into your desktop IDE controller. So unplug all the desktops hard drives, and put the laptop drive as hda, and install as normal

Does Toshiba portege t130 supports 64 bit windows OS??

I have a Toshiba portege t130 laptop..it had 32 bit windows 7home premium os...I have formatted it with the 64 bit OS..now it starts hanging a lot...does it really support the 64 bit OS??

Unless your RAM exceeds 4 GB, there is nothing to gain by installing 64-bit Windows.
But there are lots of things to lose with 64-bit Windows. It cannot run any 16-bit applications. That includes all DOS applications. It cannot even install 32-bit applications that have 16-bit installation packages.
In order to run 32-bit programs, 64-bit Windows needs to emulate the 32-bit environment and run the programs there. So it runs most everything slower - not faster. Usually, you won't notice the slow down. See KB906892 for an extreme example. Eventually, there will be 64-bit applications. But for now they are rare.
Many older peripherals have only 32-bit drivers.

Reformatting a Toshiba Portege m400 with xp or vista

Ive tried reformatting both windows XP and Vista on the Toshiba Portege M400, both without sucess.
For XP, Ive booted from CD, then at first I was having trouble getting the setup to acknowledge that there was a harddrive. Then I bought a USB floppy drive and installed the Toshiba RAID drivers by pressing f6 during setup. It loaded the file KR10I.sys. Then after formatting the partition and the installation began it gave me the prompt saying the KR10I.sys could not be read from the CD, even though it was loaded using the floppy. After pressing ESC to skip, it tells me that the CD is damaged and cannot be read. Ive tried this with two seperate XP disks so thats not the problem.
For Vista, the setup begins and gets to about roughly 90% and gives me the error code 0xc00000e0, also stating that either there is hardware corruption or a bad disk.
Any assistance or advice that you may offer would be greatly appreciated. It doesnt matter too much on which OS i get on the laptop so whichever is an easier fix. I would prefer XP however since I am more familliar with that OS.
Thanks in advance!

For starters...
Which Portege M400? What is the part number? Which country?

What happened to the Toshiba Portege R835-P70??

I'm looking to pick up a Toshiba Portege R835-P70 from Best Buy. I saw it on the website a few weeks back, but it appears to be gone. It was going for around $799 if I recall.
Toshiba tells me it's exclusively at best buy - http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/portege/R830/R835-P70/
But looking on the site now, they only have a Portege PT320U as the cheapest one for almost $1000
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Portege+PT320U-0CS04E+13.3%22+Notebook+-+Intel+Core+i3+2.20+GH...
Any chance I could still find one in stores?
Thanks!

Not sure what happened to it, some items are only offered for so long at BBY before something else replaces it. And after a product is discontinued, its still on the manufacturers website for reference.

Black Screen Problem on my Toshiba Portege M800-A330

I own a Toshiba Portege M800-A330 for more than a year now. Whenever I have problem on it, uhmm.. for example: virus, or corrupted operating system, all I do is to format my laptop or recover it using system recovery from the hard disk or using recovery disc which is inserted in the DVD drive. But, recently I'm having a problem with my laptop. My problem starts after I compressed the Drive C:, but I don't think that may cause the black screen problem that I'm encountering since then.
Here goes my problem: When turning on my laptop, the first thing I can see is the "TOSHIBA" logo and then after it fades it just gives me a black screen. I don't know why it's just black screen, perhaps its system has been corrupted. I've tried using the system recovery for the Nth times, but sadly the ability to run the system recovery from the hard disk partition also FAILED and just gives me a black screen again. When pressing "number 0" it does not direct me to the recovery features of the notebook but instead it only put me on a black screen. Likewise when I use the recovery disc, it also put me on a black screen upon entering in the DVD drive, and so as when I'm trying to reformat my laptop with Windows7.
I can't even access the safe mode options of my notebook. All I can access is the CMOS/BIOS setup features of the notebook when pressing F2.
Please help, I don't know what or where the problem maybe and what could be the possible solution on this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Selene

I dont know how can i recover the the HD partition with vista installed.. do this mean I really have to send my laptop to Toshiba service center? It will cost a lot of money, my laptop's warranty already expired.
while i understand that the outlooking symptoms may appear the same, you report that you compressed your C drive but the poster in the linked thread does not... sadly, the underlying problem may or may not be the same even though the surface symtoms appear to be so...
unfortunately, i don't know what to recommend and i feel that i must leave further answers to other support members who have better knowledge than i :?
in my own case, i've finally determined that i must purchase the reload disks from toshiba and hope that they are able to restore my machine to the original factory condition... in you case, i can't say that this is the way to go or not... it really sounds like something either BIOS or OS oriented... since the BIOS reset didn't take care of the problem, it may be something deeper (ie: video broked) or something else...
have you tried booting a *nix live CD like ubuntu? the idea here is that if a live CD of another OS boots, then there may be something wrong with your HD...
along those lines, have you tried running memtest86+ and/or a HD testing util for the drive in your unit? it is possible that memory has gone uuck or the HD may have a section of bad sectors...

Intall Solaris 8 on Toshiba Portege 3440CT fail

I want to install Solaris 8 intel on Toshiba Portege 3440CT. it has one USB floppy drive and one PCMCIA CD-ROM.
When I use Solais 8 boot disk to boot the system. it just only show "SunOS..." on the top left hand conner and have no response. Should anyone know what happen to it?
If it is related to USB device or fail to startup PCMCIA CD-ROM, can I create a Install server on another PC to use network installation?
If the laptop PC is not possible to install Solaris, how I can verify it? Since Solaris 8 Hardware compatilable List do not have Laptop section, Did sun provide a PC utility to test whether my laptop is Solaris compatiable?

Hi,
Problem with PERC RAID controller card.
You try to install the driver for AIC 7899 and Dell PERC RAID controller card. In dell computers, they have dell PERC RAID controller driver for Solaris 7 version. They don't have the driver for solaris 8 version.
You can download driver for SCSI AIC 7899 from this URL:
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.html?cat=/Product/ASC-39160&filekey=u160_slrs_v121_dd.img.Z
Then you check with your local dell support provider for PERC RAID controller driver for solaris 7 and solaris 8.
Thanks.
revert back.

ITunes causes DVD drive to fail in Toshiba Satellite laptops

This seemed unlikely to me and I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences and/or suggestions.
This morning I discovered that the DVD drive on my Toshiba Satellite laptop wasn't working - Device manager said it Failed to Start (code 10). I called Toshiba and they asked what was the last thing I'd done on the PC. When I said, "Updating iTunes," they said that was the problem, due to an interaction between iTunes and Toshiba Satellite laptops.
Sure enough, uninstalling iTunes fixed the DVD drive.
So now I have to install / uninstall iTunes every time I want to update my iPod

Another thing to check on is a device filter conflict:
iTunes for Windows Vista: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
(One of the applications I' seen conflict in this way with iTunes on a Vista system is HP memories Disc Creator Software, which comes bundled with some HP digital cameras.)
... however, if you're still getting no CD/DVD drive with just the iTunes filters in place, you may be one of the unlucky ones who are getting the issue discussed here:
Optical drives not recognized in Windows Vista after installing iTunes 7
Although it wouldn't necessarily be a short-term thing, keep an eye on that document for updated information about the issue.
In the short term, one workaround might be to use a different application to rip the CDs, and then use the "Add to library" function to get the ripped files into your iTunes. (That way you wouldn't have to continually uninstall/install iTunes.) The following document might be of some help with that:
iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions
EDIT: sorry Jason, didn't notice you'd already replied here. Didn't mean to butt in.

Toshiba-Satellite Laptop Model C655-55225 stopped working after 90 days

I purchased a Toshiba - Satellite Laptop on 9/30/2011, it completely stopped working on 1/5/12. The laptop was not even used until 12/25/11, as it was a Christmas present for my husband. I called Customer Service at Best Buy because Toshiba Customer Service has been of no help, only to be told to call Toshiba. When I called Toshiba the first time they had us run some diagnostics on the laptop, which did not help at all. The computer will not even power up. Please keep in mind this laptop was gently used and well taken care of for the two weeks it was in use. There were no bumps, drops, virus or spills. I have spent a small fortune on products at Best Buy this holiday season and this is how they treat their customers? They offered no suggestions or help at all with a product they sold or offered to intercede with Toshiba. I can tell you with all certainty I will never buy another Toshiba product nor darken a BestBuy entryway. The customer service is equally awful with both companies.

Did they give you any other reason why they wouldn't send it out? It is a pretty common procedure to send it out under manufacturers warranty and I am surprised they would shoot you down. Did you talk to geeksquad or just customer service?
