Qosmio F10 won't recover after motherboard replacement

Hi,
I'm having a problem with recovery on my Qosmio F10. It won't boot from the CD, I get a message 'media test failure check cable'.
I tried everything I could find here about this problem with no result. Then I read somewhere on this forum that recovery cd wouldn't work if the laptop has been serviced and has a new motherboard. This is excatly the case.
I had a new motherboard and CD/DVD drive put some time ago.
How do I make it work again?

> Then I read somewhere on this forum that recovery cd wouldn't work if the laptop has been serviced and has a new motherboard. This is exactly the case.
Who has replaced the motherboard? The ASP?
Well, usually the Recovery CD should works after the motherboard replacement.
I presume the parts were replaced with exactly the same parts and therefore there shouldnt be a conflict between the Recovery CD and the new motherboard.
Did you try to boot from another bootable CDs like Win XP or Linux? Check this!

Qosmio F10 doesn't run after recovery procedure

Hi, I have just purchased the toshiba recovery dvd for my qosmio f10 laptop, i put the dvd in and it goes through the recovery process and completes 100% it then tells me to remove the dvd and then press CTRL ALT DELETE to restart the computer.
Upon doing so it gets to the screen were it tells me windows is starting then the screen goes blank and flickers a couple of times, then the laptop re-boots and keeps on doing this, I press the F8 key when it restarts to go into save mode, but when it goes into save mode it tells me that windows is not fully set and won't go any further and tells me that I need to run set up again.
I do not have a windows cd only the dvd from toshiba which should put my laptop back to factory settings.
Can aynone help me before I ring toshiba?
thank you.

Hi
Its not easy to say why it happens. Usually the Toshiba recovery CD should works properly and after whole recovering procedure the notebook should run without any problems.
You have suggested that you have ordered this recovery CD from the ASP.
Did you get the right recovery CD? Check the CD description.
The other possibility is that the unit has a hardware fault. In this case you should contact the Toshiba service. Sorry but this is all what I can suggest.

Problems after motherboard replacement

Hello,
My PXI system consists of PXI-1045, PXI-8360 and five NI PXI intruments (5152, 4065, 6552, 2532, 5404). I was working with this system without problems for a long time. However, the motherboard of my PC had a specific problem with the ethernet connenction and I decided to replace the motherboard with a new one (same model). After the replacement (the pc finally was fully functional), I tried to power on the PXI chassis, but I couldn't "see" any module in PXI chassism, using
the MAX. I must tell thatI didn't change the hard disk of the pc, or anything else just the motherboard.After some experiments, I finally fix the probrem with the following solution: First I unplugged all the modules from PXI chassis. After that, I plugged one module and I reboot the pc. After that I plugged the second one module and I reboot the pc. And so on...
This was the only solution that I found in order to indentify all the modules of the PXI chassis.
My question is why happend this thing? Where are the PXI modules' adresses stored? Also, is the procedure I used correct, or I had to do something else in order to make the system work?

Hello George,
you might want to consider posting this question in a more hardware based forum - the problem does not seem to be related to CVI.
Good luck

Satellite M30: Power Saver options missing after motherboard replacement

Hi all,
I've just received my laptop back from the service center, and unsurprisingly they stuffed up a feature that used to exist!
I had taken my laptop (M30 1.7GHz Special Edition) to the repair center for a defect and they informed me that the motherboard needed to be replaced. I received the laptop back a couple of days ago and I immediately noticed the laptop getting overheated, the fan did not turn on as frequently as it used to when setting the profile to "Full Power".
After hours of investigation, I noticed that a few options that used to exist in the Toshiba Power Saver does NOT exist anymore. Thus, I feel my laptop is running as in battery optimised even though it's set to full power.
As I said, the fan is not turning on as frequently, leading to the laptop getting overheated. While the fan used to be almost constantly ON on full power prior to the replacement of the motherboard.
Here's how the power saver used to look like "prior" to taking the laptop to the repair center:
http://www.foxpop.com/imre/2006/toshibatecram3review/toshibapowersaver1.gif
And here's how the power saver looks like now, after the replacement of the motherboard:
http://www.ixbt.com/portopc/toshiba-satellite/power.png
with the CPU processing speed maximum of 3, instead of 4.
Notice how I'm now missing the "CPU control method" option, and I'm unable to set the processing speed to more than level 3!
The cooling method does not seem maximum performance to me either, due to the symptoms I mentioned above.
Any idea on why that might have happend? Please note that I used the system recovery CD and returned everything to the factory settings, still no luck. I'm sick and tired of going back to their lousy repair center. If someone can point out the problem I will be very grateful.
P.S. I'm using version 7 of the power saver, BIOS verion 1.4 (original)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I wonder why you did not contact the service guys again.
After the reparation everything should works fine and if the notebook does not run properly you should immediately report it! In my opinion its a warranty claim.
However, in my knowledge after the motherboard replacement the micro code on the board must be updated therewith the CPU could run with full performance.
What CPU speed appears in the windows system?
Im not 100% sure if the missing microcode update is responsible for your problem but I would recommend asking the ASP for opinion.

Qosmio F10: What to do with the Update Tool CD after motherboard replacement?

Hi, Hoping someone can help.
My F10 has had three new mother boards since the first one broke down. Fortunately I had paid for the extended warranty. However, when it came back this time they had formatted my hard drive because they changed the chip set. Now it can't find a TV signal and the FN Keys dont work. They sent me new CD Roms entitled "Update Tool" and "Qosmio Player Update", but they don't do anything to help the problem. Anybody got any ideas or does it need to got back again?
Thanks in advance
Chris

Ok, I think the engineer will install everything again and will make an update.
By the way; I think the bundled Qosmio Update Tool CD is a booting CD and its necessary to boot up from this CD to install the proper system drivers for the new hardware components.
The complete update process will take about ten minutes. Follow the on-screen
instructions.
After approximately 5 minutes, the copy process is complete. The message
The media will update software, please do not remove it. Hit any key to Shutdown
is displayed. Press any key to shutdown. Turn on the power of the computer and follow the on-screen instructions.
The Update Tool CD for Qosmio screen then appears and the process of updating the software begins. This can take approximately 5 minutes and the
computer will reboot to complete.
The Qosmio Player Update only works if the Qosmio Player was installed on the HDD.
This is true for original Toshiba image installation.
Note: Do not install the Player if it's missing!
- Boot the PC with the QosmioPlayer update CD.
- Select desired language with allow key and press the Enter key.
- Select desired Country/Region Code and Keyboard Code with allow key and press the Enter key.
- Follow the on-screen instructions

Won't Turn On After Motherboard Replacement

a bad cable fried the FW ports in my PowerMac G4 MDD, which caused all kinds of problems. so i got a new motherboard from ebay and put it in. installation went smoothly, but now the computer won't turn on. when i press the power button, the light flashes for a moment, but nothing happens.
i've triple checked to be sure i connected everything properly. i guess there is a chance that the motherboard from ebay is bad, but the guy said it was in perfect working condition.
so what should i check? any help is appreciated. thanks!

i discovered that it powered up with no battery...so i swapped out the battery for another, and it still didn't work. but on a hunch, i went and bought a brand new battery and put it in, and it worked. not sure why, because of the two batteries i tried, one was brand new already...hey, whatever. it took three batteries, but it's seems to be up and running again.

MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz A1260 won't boot after case replaced

Hi,
I have a early 2008 MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz(A1260) model.
It had some blemishes on the cover for normal use and I decided to replace the bottom and back cover case.
After hours of work to put everything together just as it would be from the factory, no missing screws what not, the laptop won't boot at all.
I can hear the sound of hard disk, but the led light on the power button does not lit on nor there is anything on the LCD display. No usual boot sound.
I tried to reset the SMC by pressing power button for few seconds after removing all the power sources but nothing works.
The laptop worked until this morning without any problems.
Please help.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Robert

Who replaced the case? It sounds like it is a self-inflicted hardware-related issue.

Keynote '08 files won't open after cable replacement

After what I've read, I'm so glad I didn't have the Apple Store install Maverick when the cable had to be replaced in my MacBook Pro as a work around to a possible drive failure. I thought I had successfully reinstalled everything via disk and back up restoration, but no, my Keynote '08 files won't open in the original program that created them and need "a newer version." Not acceptable. Can someone help me with this? I teach and need my original files for editing!

I presume you mean Keynote version 4, part of the iWork 08 suite, (there is no version 08)
1 - Delete the complete iWork 08 installation, you must use an application removal tool to do this correctly.
2 - (Appcleaner from Mac Update is free and works perfectly for this)
3 - Re-install iWork from the Installation CD and test

G580 Core i5 processor show 2 cores after motherboard replacement

I got the motherboard on my G580 - Core i5 3rd generation replaced yesterday, everything seems to be working perfectly fine except that my Core i5 CPU is now showing 2x cores instead of 4x.
what migh be the issue here??
see, Before:
and After:
is it an internal issue? or did someone scam me here??
how do i solve it?
My system details:
Lenovo G580,
Core i5 3rd Gen, 4gb DDR3 RAM and 750GB HDD
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 64bit

nah nah, this is completely normal,
your G580's i5-3210M is actually a dual core with Hyper threading enabled, which means that the CPU will have 4 threads aka it can process 4 things at one time, undercover you have 2 physical cores, so this is completely normal nothing to worry about
Lets make 2015 the year of the #DO

(T530 with openSUSE) Brightness won't change after mainboard replacement

Hi!
The mainboard of my ThinkPad T530 2429 6JG was replaced today. Now the brightness control doesn't work anymore. I'm using Linux (opensuse 12.3). The brightness keys on the keyboard seem to work, as the usual "brightness control animation" is shown. Also the file /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness is updated correctly. However, the screen brightness just won't change, neigher up nor down. There were no issues with the old board and I haven't done any changes to my operating system. Therefore it must be an issue with the board. Does anyone know if there's been a recent change in firmware etc.? (The new mainboard is probably from April 2013)
By the way: In Windows 7 (I have both systems on my HDD) the brightness can be changed without any problems.
Many thanks!!
Jan

got same problem... need to change acpi_os

XServe Raid won't mount after drive replacement

We had a drive go bad on an XServe Raid. We replaced the drive. It went through the rebuilding process. Now we can't mount the raid. The verify in the disk utility is successful but it still won't mount. What are we missing?

I have managed to fix the problem (at least it's still going at the moment...). We were just about to return the Fiber Card to Apple, but just before I removed the card from the G5 I had one last look at the settings on the RAID. Previously I had noticed that LUN Masking was on. I didn't take much notice of this before, as I read in an Apple manual somewhere that LUN Masking is always on while the Xserve is initializing the disks. As a last resort I thought to try and force LUN Masking to be disabled. I changed the array to JBOD, so the disks wouldn't be initialized, and entered the advanced settings. I then went to the LUN Masking section and turned off masking for both controllers. I then shut down the Xserve and unplugged it for 10 minutes.
I then turned on the Xserve and the G5 and to my utter delight, the G5 said "Unrecognized disk inserted"! The G5 was finally seeing the RAID.
I then formatted the RAID and everything has been fine since (4-5 hours).
I have no idea how LUN Masking turned on, the masking list had no devices in it, so the RAID was basically disallowing anyone access through fiber. Upon turning masking off, the RAID reappeared on the G5. Apple support said nothing about LUN Masking when I on the phone to them. I guess they though resetting the RAID controllers would reset the LUN Masking, but it doesn't seem to. I repeat: Resetting the RAID controllers does not reset LUN Masking.
All along this was the problem, but no-one at Apple or the reseller we purchased the Xserve RAID from thought of it!
I hope this helps someone out there.

Pismo won't boot after screen replacement?

I just replaced the screen on one of my Pismos with the iFixit guide. Now, when I hit the power button, I get the boot chime and I hear the fan whir, but that's it. No hard drive noises and nothing on the screen. It won't boot off another Pismo in TDM and the iBook doesn't see it if I try to put it in TDM. I've tried reseating the processor and the hard drive. Anyone got any idea what I did wrong? This was my first computer surgery, I really don't want to lose my patient...

pikacane:
I've tried reseating the processor
I suggest trying it again as it is the most frequent cause of the kind of non-startup you describe. With the keyboard and shield removed, remove the RAM module in the upper slot. Lift off the processor card. Replace processor card and press down with thumb(s) on the side toward palm-rest until you feel/hear the card snap into place. Press hard, don't be shy, you won't break it.
If you are satisfied you have the processor card is properly seated and it still won't startup, please post back and let us know.

Pavilion DM4 doesn't start after motherboard replacement

My wife accidentally left her Pavilion DM4 in our RV with the roof vents open during a recent storm. Not surprisingly, it didn't survive the watering. We shipped it to the Best Buy service center for assessment and they claimed that the motherboard is fried and that they couldn't order a spare one anymore because "the model is too old." I ordered one on eBay that was supposedly pulled from a working unit and swapped it myself (transferring the old processor to the new motherboard). Unfortunately - despite all the drumrolls I was able to simulate - it didn't wake up after surgery. The HP logo on the back of the display, the orange LED on the f12 key (Wifi antenna logo), as well as the green LED built into the power button all blink in 3s intervals.
There is a white LED next to the power plug and if I put the battery in that LED turns orange. So it seems like the power supply works and is charging the battery, right?
What else could it be?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Dear Mrstenter,thanks much for your response! I tried a master reset, as well as reseating the memory and HDD - no change. There is no audible noise of any kind (no beeping, no fan, no HDD spinning).And unfortunately the blinking I'm experiencing doesn't match any of the error codes listed in that document. It just keeps blinking briefly every 3 seconds and doesn't stop.I left it plugged in and the orange battery charging light had changed to white when I checked it after a couple of hours. So I think the power supply and battery charging unit is working. If it was a problem with the display connector I'd think that the blinking wouldn't be as persistent and I'd hear the HDD spinning up. But as it stands it seems like it just doesn't come to live at all. The motherboard came from a vendor who prides themselves with "no DOA" policy and they claim it came out of a new laptop (which sounds strange, but it actually looked fairly new). But of course nobody can guarantee that (I'll try to return it if I can't get it to run). My biggest concern is whether the processor is still intact. Is it possible that it died too during the water damage? Does anyone know what the continued blinking means? Thanks,Martin
