  • Battery Losing Power After One Day in Europe

    So I'm on a study abroad trip to Prague. Before leaving, my laptop had it's original battery life of a little over 3 hours with the screen mostly dimmed. Ever since I've had it plugged in, my computer fan has been really loud despite being asleep for at least 8 hours two days in a row and not running any programs other than firefox and the skype buddy list (not even a call) and when I unplugged my laptop the battery life had dropped to 2 hours and 17 minutes with the screen mostly dimmed. I'm curious, has this happened to anyone else? Does this mean that the European electrical current has ruined my battery and I have to buy a new one when I get back to the states?
    Thanks!

    I've just been going through this here in the States. My machine was running hot and the fan seemed to be on all the time and my battery was draining excessively. So when I called yesterday I was told:
    1. take the battery out
    2. wait 30 seconds
    3. hold down the power button for about ten seconds with the battery out (the machine will not power on, but this will reset your hardware)
    4. put the battery back in
    5. re-power the machine
    Your laptop should run quieter and the battery should last longer. Mine seems to be doing so.
    Cheers.

    Does having messages and emails left on the phone contribute to the battery running down? Thanks.

  • Qosmio X305-Q705 BSOD while gaming

    I bought this laptop in December from Best Buy, I live in Canada but it was bought in Delaware (my girlfriend lives in PA so she picked it up for me) and I picked it up when I visited her just after Christmas. Everything seemed to work ok, I went about 2 weeks with no problems and then after updating the bios to 1.70 (it's not at 1.80 with same problems that will be explained) as well as updated the Nvidia drivers with the beta drivers off the Nvidia site. 
    I refuse to format, as I know that will not fix this issue but this is my only computer, I do a lot of gaming and work on my computer away from home so I stopped investing in desktops and got a laptop to replace my desktop. I used a Toshiba a few years back, then I went to a MacBook Pro last May and now this, I never had a problem running games on my other 2 laptops when I had them but this one just keeps blue screening on me when gaming, at random. It will be less than 30 minutes playing a game, sometimes hours. It doesn't happen daily either so I do not know what is causing this but it is getting very very frustrating, I paid a lot of money for this laptop and it doesn't work. The system, for those who may ask is running Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
    Here are the dates and times of the BSOD's I get:
    1) Jan.14 at 00:29 hours, with BSOD error "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" (while playing World of Warcraft);
    2) Jan.15 at 02:32 hours, with BSOD error "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" also showing "dxgkrnl.sys" file below (while playing Warhammer Online);
    3) Jan.16 at 01:45 hours, with BSOD error "DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (while playing Warhammer Online)"
    4) Jan.17 at 23:21 hours, with BSOD error "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" (while playing World of Warcraft);
    5) Feb.01 at 14:13 hours, with BSOD error "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" (while playing World of Warcraft).
    Toshiba, what is going on? Please fix this, or send me back a full refund and I will take my business elsewhere! This is ridiculous that a brand new computer is having these issue, and it seems others have the same problem so it's not isolated to 1 or 2 machines it seems. you guys screwed up or put really really cheap parts in these systems. Oh, and it doesn't seem to overheat either, I keep it in a well ventilated and cool area as well as I have a laptop cooling pad underneath it, my MBP I had before this got hotter and never had problems so it's not a heat issue.

    Wow, not a single response from anyone at Toshiba?
    I just had another blue screen of death while playing WoW about 20 minutes before I posted this reply. This didn't show any specific error, it just said "A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated". I also had a video crash, I don't the file name with me but some error where my computer locked up for a few seconds, then the screen went black and then recovered and gave me a message saying a video file stopped working but has recovered. I think the video card and ram in this machine were bad right out of the box.
    Seriously, this computer cost me a lot of money, and within the first few weeks of using it(about a week of using it under my normal usage conditions) I started getting BSOD's. My first laptop never had issues and was a Toshiba Satellite A100 (forget the rest of the model) and then I had a MacBook Pro which was great even with Vista x64 running through Bootcamp, but this Qosmio a completely different story, these BSOD's are starting to piss me off.
    As I mentioned, my girlfriend bought it from a Best Buy in Delaware but by the time I got it home (I live in Toronto, ON) and started seeing the issues I had no way to return it otherwise I would have. Is anyone from Toshiba going to comment on this problem? I tried updating to the new 1.90 bios as well. Should I revert to the 1.40 bios or what because I didn't see the first BSOD until I updated to the 1.70 bios but of course I didn't have much time using the laptop prior to updating to 1.70 so I don't know if that was the problem or not, but 1.80 and 1.90 didn't fix anything regarding these BSOD's so I'm guessing it's faulty hardware you guys put in these systems.

    If you read the terms of service, there is no official Toshiba presence here.  I'd suggest that you call Toshiba Tech Support and see what, if anything, they suggest.  Be prepared to use the recovery process to wipe the drive and put it back to 'out-of-the-box', as that is likely the first thing they will want you to do to eliminate a software issue.
    I don't own a Qosmio, so I have nothing specific to suggest.  Sorry.

  • Qosmio X305-Q705 - No hdmi video on hdtv

    I've been really trying hard to hook up my laptop to Sharp Aquos 32' 1080p hdtv (Model - LC32GP1U) thru HDMI cable and can't get any external video. When I press FN+F5 the only option I have to choose from is LCD. I did read my hdtv settings and based on the manual it has to be set a specific video resolution. Regardless if my laptop video is native or a the desired hdtv video resolution (I set it 1024x768 32bit color) I still can't get any external video on my tv. I restarted my pc and still no external video. I also bought an hdmi to dvi conversion cable (connecting dvi to the back of my hdtv) and still no video. Is there way to test out if the hdmi port works on the pc. Does it work like a usb port??...meaning do you hear a sound when your connect/disconnect the hdmi cable? Or am i doing something wrong here? I also reinstalled my nvidia geforce 9700m gts drivers and also downloaded the new video drivers - beta version from toshiba support site that eventually leads to nvidia site. Right now I'm current waiting for the vga to dvi conversion cable as this is the last resort and I'm hoping it's going to work. If anyone has an other suggestions, I would really appreciate it. I would hate to use vga to dvi and there's no sound and hdmi supports both video/sound.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have the same model laptop, and I bought  a DVI-HDMI cable so I could plug in my external monitor using the HDMI port.  It's a huge improvement over the VGA output, which produced some horizontal ghosting effect that was annoying.
    When I hit Fn+F5, I see my current video selection with 5 "bubbles" below it.  Keep hitting Fn+F5 until you select the one you want.  I don't understand why it would not give HDMI as one of the options.  I am using the LCD+HDMI option, and set it up to extend my desktop across both monitors.  There are nVidia settings to set all of that in the Display Settings if you right-clickthe Desktop and choose Personalize.
    When I plugged in the HDMI, I plugged in the DVI side on the monitor first, and then plugged in the HDMI.  A bit of a flicker - and it was on.  I assume it's hot-pluggable, never read that it wasn't.  You can double-check the RealTek HD Audio Manager and make sure the HD audio ouput is turned too.
    I'm hoping you just have to turn the HDMI on via Fn+F5.  I've never plugged my laptop into my HDTV, but some weekend I'll give it a try just to see how it works/looks.
    Hope this helps, good luck.

  • Recovery Problem Qosmio X305-Q705

    When ever i start recovery the screen jams untill i release the 0 button .... and .... It shows HDD Recovery Message but starts the windows ? Dosent go into the recovery wizard ! This problem came suddenly and i have done the recovery many times in the past ...... ?

    OK, no need to shout!!!
    if the hidden partition is corrupt, then you will need to use your recovery disks to reintall the OS and Toshiba crap ware.  If you didn't alreay create them, then you will have to order a set.

  • Battery loses power

    Hi has any had problems with the battery losing power just after it has been fully charged. I try to search through songs and it tells me I need to re-charge it.

    I've had my PB for a little over a year now, and I almost always let it sleep overnight. Up until recently, it would lose about 5% power overnight and I would leave it plugged in all day when I was at work. In the last couple weeks though, it has started losing more like 10-15% power overnight! I haven't made any major updates or anything.
    I just read a couple things: number one, your PB should not be plugged in ALL the time. Number two, you should re-calibrate the battery "every few months" according to Apple. I have only calibrated my battery the initial time and one other time, about 4 months ago. So I think it's time to re-calibrate. I'll let y'all know if it helps!

  • Battery loses power as I watch

    Has anyone else had the problem of the battery losing power quickly? I can watch the charge go out. This started after I downloaded the Bing Music app. I deleted the Bing Music app and still the battery is losing charge quickly. I cannot see any way to open the itouch to even have another battery put in. Thank you!

    How old are your ipod touches? After a certain period of time your battery loses its ability to hold a charge. If it is pretty old you might want to consider enrolling in the battery replacement program through Apple or replacing it via a third-party site.

  • My ipod mini won't turn on at all after battery lost power....

    I've had it for about three years, but i haven't been using it very often in the past year.I've been charging it every so often in the past few months, and it's been in pretty good working condition. However, I was unable to charge it two days ago, resulting in the warning sign of the battery losing power after I turned it on yesterday. In the night, I plugged it into my adapter, but no response at all showed up; not even a sign to say it was charging/still low on power. I tried the reset option, plugging it out and back in, but the screen was still blank. This morning, still nothing, and I don't have access to my own pc until later on (to try to connect it there)...suggestions, anyone? I'm at a loss here, besides the possibility that it might be time to replace the battery...

    I still didn't find the "Answer" and "Solution" that are listed for this question, but I did go through most of the "5Rs" - and now it's working!!!! (I think!) - anyway - it woke up and it's charging. I did have to try Reset and Retry (repeatedly), then Restart my computer - and update a bunch of stuff I thought I'd already updated, and also update iTunes. I weas set to go to Reinstall (even though so far the iPod appeared to be invisible to my computer). While I was checking the iTunes Help link on how to select my (invisible) iPod - all of a sudden it woke up!!!!
    So, Angel - thank you for inspiring me to keep trying - and maybe when you get to your computer, it will work out? I sure hope so!

  • Installing Windows XP on Qosmio X305-Q701

    Is it possible to install Windows XP on my Qosmio X305-Q701 without the need of a floppy drive etc?
    I saw a few other topics about it.
    However on different models, and my laptop does not have the option of putting my SATA drive in to compatibility mode.
    Don't mind if i have to slipstream a few drivers, but I need to know if there are XP drivers available for it, for when i look on the drivers download page i can only find Vista drivers.
    Any help is greatly appreciated
    Kind regards,
    Jorde Vorstenbosch
    P.s. bought my laptop in the states, So it's the best buy version. (heard they only sold these at best buy, so that's why)

    I managed to get Win Xp x64 installing right with almost all drivers in it.
    I have upgraded to the 1.70 BIOS version and made a modified version of my Win XP Pro x64 using nLite in order to integrate both SATA and Atheros wireless drivers.
    SATA and Chipset drivers are both found on Intel's web site.
    Atheros wireless ones were a bit tricky to find, but I managed to do it searching over the net.
    Bluetooth driver is the one form Toshiba.
    HD audio drivers came from Realtek web site.
    Almost all drivers I've got for Win XP 32 serve the x64 version as well.
    I have bluetooth, wireless, high def audio and GeForce (laptopvideo2go) drivers installed.
    And the best of it all: THE BATTERY PROBLEM HAS GONE USING THIS X64 VERSION OF WINDOWS XP!
    Using the x64 version means that you got all 4 Gigs of RAM properly recognized.
    I can put all drivers up in a single file and upload to rapidshare, for instance, for those who want them.

  • 8330 keeps losing power and rebooting

    my curve 8330 keeps losing power and rebooting, does anyone know how to fix this, tried cleaning battery terminals but did not work.

    I also have a 8330 and it does the same thing.  It randomly resets (like a master reset as it takes a long time to reboot) throughout the day.  I am a Canadian user and talked to Bell who told me I had to send the phone in.  I went to one of their stores and sent the phone away for 2 weeks.  I received it yesterday as it was "repaired".  I had it less then 24hrs and again it reset about 12 times during that time.  I am also not able to activate Enterprise since the repair.  My company exhausted it's options to help me set it up but they determined the is a hardware issue.  So The problem is worse now.  I have tried with and without media card and it doesn't change anything.  I have waste days with Bell trying to resolve this issue as technical support on the phone confirms that it is a hardware problem.  I have now had to take the phone back to Bell for repair again.  I am shocked with Bells attitude concerning this problem as I have talked to numerous customer service managers that tell me that I have a contract with them to provide the "service".  They don't seem to care that the hardware doesn't allow me access to their service.  I am also amazed that they don't care that a customer has to waste time on tech support phone calls and traveling to their stores to ship the phone back to Blackberry.  As well as my company that wasted time setting up my "loaner" phone then my regular phone after repair and then again a "loaner" phone when nothing was fixed.  When does Blackberry get involved and make the customer happy?  I am surprised that the cell phone providers can not issue a new phone when there is a hardware problem under warranty.   I was told by Bell that Blackberry typically needs to see the phone 5-7 times before they will issue a new one....  This translates to the customer doing 10-14 trips to the store and a large amount of time setting the phone back up each time...  
    Unless something happens fast, my company is buying out my contract with Bell and I will be switching to a competitive smartphone.  This is unfortunate as I like Blackberry but can not stand the support.  (since I can only talk to Bell as Blackberry won't talk to me directly and only directs me to my cell provider)
    Very Frustrating.  But a hardware problem for sure.

  • Qosmio X305 will only boot in safe mode or when the graphics card disabled

    Hi All
    I am having a very concerning issue with my laptop (Toshiba Qosmio X305). It will only boot in safe mode or if I disable the graphics card.
    Awhile back I upgraded the drivers for the nVidia 9800M GTX from the nVidia website, it worked fine for awhile, but then it started crashing randomly by giving me a full screen of random color then switching off. I fixed this by rolling back to the previous version of the drivers (the drivers that came with the laptop software).
    After that it working perfectly for months but yesterday my machine started crashing and I could not get it to boot correctly.
    I have completely deleted (not just a quick format) both the hard drives that came internally in the laptop and I have installed a clean version (the out of the box option) of the x64 Vista that came with the laptop from the recovery disks I created. After I did the install, it boots fine as only the standard VGA device is used, as soon as I installed the driver off the drivers and applications disk it would not boot correctly:
    Just after the status bar comes up and it is about to show the windows logo, just before login, I get a black screen. I can hear that it is booting fine and I can even log in to windows and by memory make things run, but I can't see anything. I then got the latest drivers, again from the nVidia website and they are not helping at all.
    My system is as follows (nothing has been added, its is just how I got it):
    Vista Ultimate x64
    4.00 GB RAM
    Intel Core 2 Quad
    Like I said previously it is a clean install of the operating system, I have not added any programs, except for installing and then updating the display drivers.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi buddy,
    It seems that this is a typical example, that only pretested display drivers from Toshiba should be used. Why?
    The nVidia drivers are not pretested and they dont have an overheat protection. So for me it sounds like that the nVidia driver has destroyed your graphic card. That means no driver will help you and reinstallation of the whole system too.
    I think the only option is replacing the graphic card. Therefore you should contact an authorized service provider in your country. Here you can search:
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com
    Explain the whole story and then you will see, what the technicians say. If your notebook is under warranty, hopefully this will be covered too. Normally other display drivers you have to install on your own risk
    Good luck! :)

  • Losing power/signal and no internet connectivity for WRT54G2-RM

    Just installed router and using Motorola SB5101 cable modem and Comcast.  Followed instructions  and the router has lost losing power and needing restarts a few times.  Have it installed by ethernet cable to my desktop, and using laptop (XP Pro Thinkpad P42).  Cannot get internet connectivity and also loses wireless signal connection.  I know there are a number of similar posted issues, and I am new to this forum.  Any ideas?

    Download and upgrade your router's firmware, reset and then re-configure it...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • Wifi losing power and disconnecting

    Hi,
    My mid-2014 MacBook Pro keeps disconnecting from wifi intermittently, whether in use or in stand by. I reset the wifi and it reconnects after some time searching. The errors in the wifi.log each time this happens are below. I suspect there's a problem with the wifi adapter circuit so it's actually losing power, but I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and found a solution that didn't require a replacing the hardware?

    Wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.
    However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always. In no particular order:
    Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
    Change the wifi channel on the router
    Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
    Reboot the router
    Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas. They mainly reference Lion, but still seem to be relevant to Mountain Lion:
