No fingerprint sensor on my Qosmio X300-12H?

Hi,
I bought my Qosmio X300 -12H on 3d this month in UK, and just found that it does not have a fingerprint sensor.
As the User's Manual book and the pics on Toshiba website show, the fingerprint sensor should be in the middle of the two touch pad control buttons, but it's not there.
Is there anything wrong?
You can see it in the pic blow.

Another problem is the right-of-center keyboard (the part above the arrow keys) seems to be loosing.
The entire right part of the keyboard makes noise when I'm fast typing.
My purchase link is <a href="http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/series/Qosmio-X300-series/1056665/" target="_blank">http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/series/Qosmio-X300-series/1056665/</a>
Can anyone help me please?

Are you 100% sure that this Qosmio X300-12H model should be equipped wit the fingerprint reader?
I doubt it.
Fact is that the same notebook series (in your case Qosmio X300) was equipped with different hardware specifications. This means that some X300 can support the fingerprint and some model dont support this feature.
I have checked the X300-12H details on the page which you have linked in the post above and there is no fingerprint mentioned!

Qosmio X300-12H - Additional HDD Bracket

I own a Qosmio X300-12h and recently bought a second hard drive after finding out that it would hold a second one. After buying the hard drive I then found out that the seccond bracket was not placed in the laptop. Thus not able to install it.
Now the hard drive that I bought does fit into the area without a bracket but there is the possibility of it coming loose and causing more harm than good.
I have been all over Toshiba's web site including the page with my spec laptop and there is no sign of a bracket fitting to hold my second hard drive in place securely. And yes I have even gone to ebay but no luck there either.
If anyone has this spec laptop or simular to the X300 series could you please tell me if you laptop came with a second bracket or if you could like a web site that sells them this would be awsome.

Ok, good news to all the people who have had the same problem as me and couldn't find the part online because its almost impossible due to having such a bad description of the item and no pics to go a long side it.
I spoke to the Toshiba Parts department on and spoke to two lovely ladies who were very helpfull and made sure that the part I needed was the one that would correctly fit my laptop.
For you all to make this one billion times easy here is the part number for the X300-12h with any luck it should be the same for the most of X300 series "k000061060"
as to make sure that this is 100% compatible with your specific laptop as it might differ.
Well best of luck to you all Toshiba Qosmio fans and happy gaming with uber size HDD's

Qosmio X300-12H and Universal adaptor

Hi,
Ref: PQX32E-02400LEN
I ordered the laptop Qosmio X300-12H UK version but im living in Belgium so the adaptor could be a problem. But i saw this: AC adaptor input voltage : autosensing AC adapter (100/240 V) for worldwide usage. Does that mean i can use the laptop ANYWHERE without buying a new *** expensive adaptor?
How can I know the tension, frequency of the computer?
Thx

>could be a problem
In my opinion you should wait to see if the problem is there or not. If you don't want to use original adapter the best thing you can do is to order original one and you can buy it in Belgium.
Ok maybe is more expensive as some cheaper universal but maybe you should use original parts with this nice and not so cheap notebook. in my opinion it is better to be on the safe side.
On Toshiba support page I found info that Qosmio X300 needs PA3546E-1AC3 AC adapter.
It is AC Adaptor - 19V DC, 9.5A, 180W.
Bye

Re: Qosmio X300-12H - Screen blank if I connect the HDMI cable to my TV

Hello all,
I'd be most grateful if anyone could help with this..
I updated my laptop and then re-started to find that the screen just stayed blank after the Windows start up stuff. I eventually found that by removing the HDMI cable to my tv it all worked fine again;)
However, as soon as I plug in my tv with the HDMI cable the screen goes blank again:(
PLEASE HELP!!
Many thanks,
Sam

Keyboard (key-in) problems in Qosmio X300

After 5 or 6 min of the Qosmio X300 start-up, my keyboard] is writing crazy:
E.g., hitting "d" the "d]" is writting, hitting "3", "3=" is writting.

I have the same problem with my Qosmio X300-12H. Started last evening for no reason. If I open a notepad and leave the cursor on the text field numbers and letters randomly appear, I also get mouse clicks. It doesn't happen immeditaly after restar, it takes a few minutes. The same happen if I remove the USB mouse. If its hardware then its not a keyboard problem. The letters that appear are the main ones I use when playing games.
Apart from that the laptop has been outstanding.

Qosmio X300 - Fingerprint sensor stopped working

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me ?
First, please excuse my poor English, I'm Norwegian ( ! )
and allow me to tell you that I am just "normally" technical ...
-so please, please "speak" so I can understand.
My fingerprint sensor stopped working today, this has happen before,
restarting the computer has previously "fixed" the problem, but not today ... !
I have dowloaded and installed new drivers & software ( TrueSuite Access Manager ) ( from Toshiba support ) -- still not working ...
I have checked the Device manager ( Biometric Devices )
It says that the device is working properly. It says that the drivers are all up to date.
But it still does not work.
I've been on the phone with Toshiba support for a long time today, but not even support could help me ...
they had never heard of a similar problem on a Qosmio X300 before ( ? )
They suspcted that I had send it in for service ... and I would like to avvoid this, if I can ...
Cause that means that my computer will be gone for at least 14 days ...
I have also read all threads about fingerprint problems in this forum, and tried everything ... but nothing helps !
When I'm promted to scan my finger, the scanner seems to be "dead" ... ?
Can anyone please help me to solve this problem ?
Hoping for help !
Thanks so much for taking the time ...
Sincerely ms.norway

Hi Luke_1
Thanks so much for your answer. I did download the BIOS update, but got a message that I allready had the latest version,
so there would be no updates installed ... I guess that I ( without remembering ) dowloaded and updated this some time yesterday ( ! )
I guess that the next step will be to use the recovery disk ...
I would if possible, not do that, cause that means that I have to reinstall every program etc., right ?
Sorry ... this might sound like a stupid queston, but as I mentioned ... I'm just "normally" technical, so you have to excuse me on this :-)
Or I might just give up and send the computer in for service/repair ...
By doing this I might not have to reinstall everything , right ? ( hoping for a positive response on this )
I "suspect" that maybe the fingerprint sensor is broken, since I have tried all possible solutions ...
so this might be the best solution to my annoying problem ...
If anyone happens to have any other sugests, please respond.
Thanks again for your answer !

Qosmio X300-H15 - Low quality of Toshiba Fingerprint Utility performance

Hi
I had an excellent fingerprint tool for OEM Vista HP x64 (notebook model Qosmio X300-H15).
After I installed Windows 7 HP x64, I have only Toshiba Fingerprint Utility which is different. Its performance is poor. Percent of recognized fingerprint during user logon is very low. Also I should use fingerprint to enter Toshiba Fingerprint Utility. And it cannot import fingerprints dump from Vista's tool.
Does anyone know where to get Vista's fingerprint tool? And is it compatible with Win7 if I want to install it?
Thanks.

Im really wondering you are not satisfied with fingerprint functionality. 6 months ago I have upgraded friends Qosmio X300 from Vista to Win7 using Toshiba upgrade kit and we have installed latest fingerprint utility version 1.0.2.12from Toshiba download page.
It runs perfectly and until now. I asked him often how it works now with Win7 and every time he told me that Win7 runs perfectly so I presume preinstalled fingerprint utility works well too.
To be honest I cannot imagine that fingerprint reorganization on login was better under Vista than under Win7. I have tested it on friends Qosmio after Win7 upgrade and after 10 or more logins using my fingerprint login was successful. I can remember very well that just one time it was not successful but I done it pretty fast just to see if this will work or not but when I have done this properly everything was OK.
Anyway, check Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com and go to download section. Here you can find Vista fingerprint software for Vista 32 and 64 bit OS.

I've upgraded X300-13P up to Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

It's not clear: what does mean "L500 series" - soft, say, for the "Satellite L500-ST2521" is applicable for Qosmio X300? Any model???
And only Flash card for "L500", but native VAP for X300?

How can I use my HP built-in fingerprints sensor

Hello. I have a DV7 Pavillion that comes with a built-in fingerprints sensor. I bought this laptop in 2010, and the problem is that the software company that used to be in charge of this feature, DigitalPersona, abandoned it and they no longer update the program, which makes it imposible to use online, and I think it isn't working at all even offline. So, my question is, can I still use the fingerprints sensor? Is there the option of downloading another software? How can I do that?
Thank you for your replies. I am new using this forum, so I hope I am not doing anything wrong.

Sorry for the late response.
I'll be more than happy to help you with this issue.
First could you provide me with the full model name and number of the notebook you have.
Also, I have a couple of questions for you.
What exactly is the issue with the fingerprint reader?
Can you log into windows with it?
Can you access websites with it?
Does the program simple pass give you any issues?
Or are you just curious on how to work the fingerprint reader in windows 8?

HP dv6t fingerprint sensor suddenly doesn't work anymore

Hi there,
I own a dv6t with fingerprint sensor.
When coming back this weekend, which I didn\t spent at home and forgot to turn off my laptop, the fingerprint sensor didn't work anymore.
Usually, when you come close, there is a white light on the left side, and when scanning a fingerprint, it becomes orange.
But when sliding my finger above the sensor, no light is switching on and the sensor doesn't scan my print.
I restarted the laptop already, but it didn't change anything.
Did I switch it off, like you can do with the wireless adapter?
There is another question, for which I should open a new thread, but maybe someone over here knows a quick-fix:
My "FN" key is permanently locked, which means to reach the F1, F2, elc. keys I have to hold the "FN" key.
I would like to have it the other way around, where the F1, F2, etc keys are default, and you have to hold the "FN" key to activate the special functions.
Thanks and best regards,
Mattes

Try a hard reset, works sometimes.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-power on
As for the Fn key, some models have a setting in BIOS for this.
******Clicking the Thumbs-Up button is a way to say -Thanks!.******

Hi there,
Specs: as per Qosmio X 300. SSD 110GB, pentium core 4 extreme, 4 Gb RAM, plenty free storage on SSD (29GB), NVidia drivers with primary being GE Force 9800 M GTS, Direct X10. there is also a note down the bottom saying that if i have linked graphic cards (whihc i do i believe there are three), that i can expect better perfomrance with some software.
Ok I aplogise from the outset, i am a layman and not that techie. K. So the issue that I upgraded recently (last week) from vista ultimate 64 bit to windows 7 64 bit. ultimate. For the main, I am reasonably happy with the outcome in most areas - except gaming that is. I have increased speed and agility and the processor is now rated at 7.2. WEI. overall the laptop is rated at 5.8. however, getting back to teh reason for writing, I have nothing negative to say about windows 7 (as compared to its predecessor) apart from wishing to resolve my game crash issue. which usually occurs about 15 mins - 20 mins into a game and comes in the form of a shutdown ? BSOD from whence the laptop reboots when prompted at on/off and wants to know if to start normally or in various safe modes. I have noticed that the laptop does become very hot at the back (around the fans) prior to teh shutdown, and i am wondering if this is an overheating issue, and how to resolve if this is the case. the only other thing i have noticed that seems untoward is that i have apparently lost a wireless jump start driver from the upgrading process which i cannot find anywherre, and may be totally unrelated to this issue anyway.
All i want to do is play the games i could play on windows vista ultimate 64 bit. these include: Sims 3, sims 3 world adventures, sims 3 ambitions, highloft end stuff, and Bioshock. Oddly enough, i have played sid meyers civillisations revolutions IV (the latest one) with no crashes, and i havent tried ANNO 1404, but fear a similar fate may await this game as some of the others.
Addditional information:
everything is as i described it above, however the screen does not go blue but black,and the laptop shuts itself down, laptop acts as if hibernating mode? (these are guesses) or some mechanism geared at preventing over heating - the back becomes very hot. the machine can be rebooted from normal mode but comes up firstly with a screen suggesting that the laptop was incorrectly shutdown, and offers options as to safe mode, normal etc. i have been starting normally with no adverse effects. This is scenario one.
scenario two ends up similarly at teh reboot stage, but gets there differently. i play the game and the screen freezes, unable to move touchpad curser, unalbe to use ctrl alt del to get up task manager. end up having to crash to reboot.
I am quite frustrated and very reluctant to mess around with things that i dont understand (dont want to make the problem worse!). I am happy to attemtpt to follow your good explicit advice.
the only other negative thing i am expereinceing is screen flicker on internet. I have changed my power mode from high performance to balanced to try to nullify the overheating issue but i now am noticing this screen flicker which is irriating and appears on keystroke, or cursor movement.
Please note well: I am a layman, not a technician! Please explain in easy to (dummy) terms! Thanks!
kind regards

How-to: Installing Windows XP on Qosmio X300

Admins: please review this content, and make this topic sticky.
I decided to try out Windows XP on my Qosmio X300-130 laptop, that came with Windows Vista 32-bit pre-installed.
I bought XP Pro license + disc.
Part A: Installation
===============
1. Go to Intel website and download "Intel RST" drivers -- those are required to recognize the SATA disk. Unfortunately Qosmio X300 does not provide IDE emulation in it's BIOS.
2. Download "nLite"
3. Start "nLite" and choose option to slipstream the drivers, and choose to integrate Intel RST drivers, and create ISO. Burn the ISO on a CD-R.
4. The new CD disc should be installable on our hardware
Part B: Video
===========
Unfortunately, Toshiba modified GeForce used in the laptop, so standard NVIDIA drivers won't install on Windows. (they do install on Linux BTW)
PCI (and PCI express) code is made of several parts:
-VENDOR ID (NVIDIA, main vendor)
-DEVICE ID (chip used, GeForce 9700 GTS in my case)
-SUB SYSTEM ID (Toshiba, secondary vendor)
After you installed fresh XP, go to device manager, and see devices under yellow question mark. (devices that Windows can't recognize)
Click on VGA (it is our GeForce) --> Details --> Device instance ID.
You need to search original NVIDIA driver for your DEVICE ID (that is, so it matches the chip in your laptop exactly, DEV_062A for me).
I had to change one single file from original NVIDIA driver:
nvts.inf
%NVIDIA_DEV.062A.01% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_062A&SUBSYS_00011179
-->
%NVIDIA_DEV.062A.01% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_062A&SUBSYS_FF011179
Part C: Network & Audio
===================
You need few drivers:
-Intel WiFi 5100 drivers
-Realtek PCI-E Gigabit drivers
-Realtek HD Audio drivers
-Technologov, 19.01.2011

Very nice posting!
Thanks dude for this! I think it could be interesting for others!
