Qosmio F30-117: Can you receive film four?

The recent driver release has finally allowed me to receive digital tv on my F30-117 in the UK. However, I can't get film four, which is now available on freeview. Can anyone get this on laptop?
Cheers,
Peter

Don't be mad at me but I dont understand you.
What did you mean with I can't get film four ?
You are not possible to watch movies or what?

Qosmio F30-117 - Display issues - red and green lines

Hi there,
I have a qosmio F30-117 and up to recently, I was delighted with everything about it.
Then, mid session, the graphics began to deteriorate, which a reboot fixed.
Then a few days later, it did it again and this time when I rebooted it came up with a corrupted display, lots of aa's all over the place then lines of red and green all over.
Managed to get in by selecting safe mode with networking and got a desktop although still with the red and green lines all over it.
Now its gotten worse still, when I boot up the laptop screen itself is blank, its getting something because it isnt totally black like it is when its powered off, but its blank.
As a check I connected an external monitor and managed to get in again to safe mode with networking, but its still very bad, and still has the red and green lines all over.
I started to have a look around on the good old www and there are numerous posters and articles with problems, and lots mentioning the red and green lines etc...
so Im not alone, but no-one seems to know exactly what it is.
Some have mentioned Toshiba acknowledging this as a problem and doing repairs even if out of warranty.
So, any ideas, any advice, and does anyone know if Tosh have indeed accepted the problem and offering any help??
Thanks in advance

Hi
I think it's a common problem in the Qosmio F30 models. After long term use, the soldering balls under the GPU chipset start to melt down because of the over heat and the bad soldering quality that was used with the F30 model that cannot resist high temperature. Now you have to replace the motherboard, since the GPU is build within the motherboard.
However, there is another two solution for this problem and cost less money amount:
1- do what is called a "heat reflow" for the VGA chipset: to do this you have to take the motherboard out and heat the VGA chipset on the motherboard with a heat gun or you can bake it in the oven for a few minutes at low temp, this will make the soldering balls melt and go back to there right position. However, you need to keep in mind that this solution is temporary and will last maybe for month then you have to do it again and again till you ruin the GPU and then the only solution will be to buy another motherboard. So I don't recommend that you do that at all, but if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a new motherboard this will help you to recover your data, even though there is more easier solution to do the recovery.
Anyways, you can go to youtube and search the term "VGA heat reflow " to see how people do it.
2- send your motherboard to a repairing service that can do what is called reballing: what they do is that they will replace the soldering balls under the VGA chipset with new ones that can resist high temp. and this solution is permanent and even in the future you don't have to worry that the same problem will happen again since the new soldering balls can take high temp change. I do recommend this solution even more than buying a motherboard, since the motherboard that you will get will generate the same problem after few years.
you can find this type of repair service online if you googled the term "VGA reball repair" or you can find it on ebay
If you decided to replace the motherboard I think you will not be able to find a new one, and in case you found one it will be more expensive than a new laptop, but still you can find used motherboard for your qosmio on ebay or online. so you need to do a search and find out what fits your budget or maybe it's better to buy a new laptop.
Sorry about your qosmio, and hope that my post will help you!

Qosmio F30-117 freezes

Hi! I bought a Qosmio F30-117 a little while ago and it has now started to freeze. I get to the desktop alright, then it just completely freezes and I have to take the mains lead and battery off to restart it, then it usually loads up fine.
Anyone else had this problem or has an advice on what I should do?
Thanks,
Nina

Qosmio F30-117: Unable to make FTP connections

I have Qosmio F30-117, windows XP, Norton Internet security.
When I attempt to FTP to my website I get FTP connection failed.
I have tried on friends computer and connection was made first time.
When I attached my laptop to his Broadband connection - no FTp. This at least eliminates my router.
I have tried to disbale parts of Norton Internet Security with no success.
Help???

Hi,
so if I were you I would completely disable the Norton software and make sure the Windows Firewall is letting you trough. Otherwise you should check if your friend has set up everything correctly. If you want to test it that your machine is able to connect over FTP, then go to www.kernel.org and grab some ftp address.
Then open your favorite FTP client and try to connect. If the connection really fails then double check all settings and try it again. I think the problem is so small that everyone just oversees it. ;)

Can you watch films on the iPod 6th gen?

Hello,
Unfortunetaly you are unable to watch any sort of movie, video, or film on the 6th Generation iPod Nano. This is simply because the screen is too small. The 4th, 5th, and 7th Generation can however watch videos.
Hope this helps,

Apple does not offer educational discounts to individual purchasers for any of the iOS devices. It's possible that if, as Carl suggested, you purchased in quantity you could negotiate something, but officially the quantity discount is available only to schools.

Qosmio F30-117 - green and blue lines on the screen

So my F30-117 has been working well recently until I turned it on and had green and blue lines (sort of like scan lines) overlapping the screen.
I tried to install new drivers from nvidia, but that didn't work, as Vista just picked them up as unknown.
Anyone got a solution? Do you think the graphics card needs to be reseated?
Thanks in advance!
- Shayde Zehetbauer.

You can easy determine what the reason is for this.
Do you know how?
Just connect an external monitor to the notebook and check the picture on it.
If you have the same issue on the external monitor the reason is the graphic card and/or mainboard, if not its an internal display issue.
Check this!
Furthermore you should only use the drivers from Toshiba. The Nvidia drivers dont have an overheat protection so the graphic chip could be damaged. Its on your own risk.
So try to install the drivers from Toshiba.

If you mean a disc that will play in a standard DVD player, no.

Qosmio F30-117: How Vista calculate Win Experience Index Graphics score?

My F30-117 has a Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600. WIE gives this a graphics score of *4.9* based on the following info:
Total available graphics memory 399 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 128 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 271 MB
However my G40-108 has a Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT. WIE only gives this a graphics score of *4.4* based on the following info:
Total available graphics memory 1791 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 512 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 1279 MB
Anyone know why? Both PCs have the latest drivers and all available Windows updates. Both are running Vista Ultimate. If anything I would expect the scores to be the other way around !

Hi
The Windows Experience Index Vista feature that is designed to help better understand
how Windows Vista and other software will perform on your computer.
As far as I know the scale of the Windows Experience Index ranges from 1.0 to 5.9.
A higher base score means that your computer will perform better as a computer with a lower score.
I dont want to explain the whole features because there are many useful Microsoft pages which already provide such informations:
Check this:

Qosmio F30-117: How long does the repair take?

can any body tell me how long does it take for toshiba repair center to repair the laptop and send it back. I bought this new laptop but there was harddisk fault, then i sent it for repair but not yet received. Its two weeks now.

Mine went for repair twice - I think the fault was quite straightforward so was just a screen swap. This may explain the speed of turnaround. The first time it was picked up on a Wednesday - arrived Thursday and was repaired. It was then sent back and I got it on Monday (4 working days). The second time it took longer and was around 7-8 working days.
I found it useful to call the repair centre. They have some notes on machines there but if they can't give you specifics they should be able to give you the number for the 3rd party people that fix them and they'll give you a full update. Usually the third party places only work standard office days and hours.
hope this helps.
