Qosmio F50-108 - Front operation panel issue

Hello, I have qosmio F50-108 and the front panel does not work me, I think I uninstal a program. Please link to the driver. thanks akem
sorry for my bad english

Hi Akem
Sorry but I dont understand what you are meaning exactly by front panel?
Do you mean the Toshiba Control buttons like (play, pause stop, etc)
If you are meaning these buttons and if you have removed an drivers which controls these buttons then a solution should be easy.
First of al you should try to set the OS back to the early time point before you have removed this driver. For this you have to use the system restore utility.
Secondly if the procedure described above will not work, try to reinstall the VAP (Value Added Package).

Qosmio F50-10z' s front operation panel doesn't work

My front operation panel doesn't work. I have tried to recovery my computer and reinstall the VAP but it still doesnt work.
I want to why...

Hi!
What do you mean with if it doesnt work?
If you try to install a newer version of Toshiba Value Added Package you should remove the old version first. Reboot the notebook and install the newer one.
Last but not least try to update the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba website:

Toshiba Front Operation Panel/Illumination Keys not working

I am unable to toggle wireless on/off, mute/unmute, play/pause using Front operation panel LED keys on my Toshiba Qosmio F60. Currently I need to enable WiFi/Bluetooth from within Windows for it to work. Fn+F8 toggle works as soft block/unblock only if I have already enabled WiFi under Windows. Any ideas as how this can be done? The only LED Touch button that works under Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora is the Volume Up/Down button. Touchpad on/off toggle does not work with physical button above the touchpad or Fn+F9 either. Other Fn+ keys work eg., Fn+Esc for mute/unmute, Fn+F1 for lock etc.
Interestingly even when the WiFi is turned off from within Windows on booting Arch with a pen-drive wifi-menu command detects all surrounding wireless networks properly for the first time. Even rfkill shows as hardware unblocked. But once a network is selected it fails and the subsequent rfkill commands show as hardware blocked.
These problems seems related to Direct App Launch Button which probably can be solved in Linux by quickstart http://quickstart.sourceforge.net/
I had raised a thread in Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat forums as well

I get the below output when I run showkey -k
Fn+1 (Zoom In)
keycode 419 press
keycode 419 release
Fn+2 (Zoom out)
keycode 418 press
keycode 418 release

keycode 420 press
keycode 420 release
Fn+F8 (Wireless Toggle)
keycode 238 press
keycode 238 release
Fn+F9 (Touchpad Toggle)
keycode 530 press
keycode 530 press
These are soft keys mentioned here http://www.manualslib.com/manual/180150 … 134#manual
The front panel buttons and the small physical touchpad toggle button above the touchpad do not generate any codes. The Fn+F8 is a multi toggle in Windows after wireless is turned on through the front panel button (first press WiFi on, second press Bluetooth on, third press both WiFI, Bluetooth on, fourth press both off). Also there is no ouput for scancodes when I run showkey -s or xev. Am I missing anything?

Need WIn8.1 webcam driver for Qosmio F50-108

Hello everyone!
I'm looking for Toshiba Qosmio F50-108 camera driver. I have windows 8.1.
Does anyone know where I can find this?

As far as I know Toshiba doesn't offer webcam driver for Win8/Win8.1.
Operating system uses standard Microsoft driver.
I think this Qosmio is pretty old notebook model. But, generally speaking, I don't know if your Qosmio is supported for Win8/Win8.1 or not?

Re: Screen color configuration for Qosmio F50-108

Hi,
Can you please tell me what screen color configuration do you use for toshiba Qosmio F50-108 ?
Mine seems quite odd......
Thanks

I just have some issues with my external lcd screen ...... It is darker than the notebook screen and also the refresh rate it is very annoying . I had the same lcd with my previous laptop and it was ok even now when i am connecting the old laptop is ok but with my toshiba is not working well.
The screen is acer 19``.
PS it is not the cord

Could I use a second HDD in my Qosmio F50-108

Could I set a second HDD in my Qosmio F50-108...
What should I be careful of?
What HDD should I buy?
Thanks...........
Message was edited by: dpasinis

I doubt this is possible.
As Im not mistaken the F50-108 belongs to the PQF55E series and checking this model series I found and info that this notebook supports a 320GB (5400rpm) SATA HDD but it doesnt support the second HDD.
However, I would recommend checking the bottom of the unit. If there is an possibility for an HDD upgrade then you should find a second HDD bay with an HDD SATA connector.

Front Steel Panel Issue

Hey, i have a strange problem with E6 Front Silver Panel... whenever i change the memory card the panel near the memory card slot bends a little and now its finally totally bent. Nokia guys changed the phone once but are not ready to accept the fact again.. any ideas ?

Qosmio F50 issues after Bios update 1.50

Hello,
I updated Bios with version 1.50.
I'm working with audio software and I noticed performance issue (about 15% -20% drop in performance!!!).
Front Operational panel is also acting strange.
Now I can't turn the lights off or start Media center or anything else.
How can i downgrade the Bios on version 1.30?
Winphlash won't let me do this.
Please help!
Thank you

Actually, it is possible for a BIOS update to break the OS depending on what it changes (both under the hood and the visible choices).
The bios is essentially sitting between the OS and the hardware during boot, so if it suddenly changes the way it reports things the OS might not be able to cope properly. This is especially true in laptops where most of the hardware is integrated on the motherboard.
So if possible try to do a software restore as during the install the OS will rescan the hardware...
BTW, number one rule of BIOS updates is: Never do one unless it fixes something you have a problem with. Although, AFAIR toshiba almost never releases a changelog, so the rule does can not aply here.

Qosmio F50 not detecting Tv tuner(cardbus)

Hi!
I have Qosmio F50-108 which does not have integrated Tv tuner. I have external tuner - [http://www.acesuppliers.com/Supplier_Company/AVerTV-Cardbus-Plus--E501R_Product_Showroom_24705.html].
Sorry to ask stupid question but does this toshiba support Carbus? Becouse when I plugged it in the previus laptop on Xp it worked normally, but now when I do it, nothing happens.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
As far as I know the Qosmio F50 supports an ExpressCard slot.
But more details about the slot you should find in your user manual which is preinstalled (I think) on the notebook.
Check if the external Tv tuner card is compatible with this ExpressCard slot

Qosmio F50 - thickness of thermal sheets needed

Hello All,
I have Toshiba Qosmio F50 108.(9700M GTS)
I plan to change the Thermal paste on the VGA and the CPU.
In order to do so i see that there are also thermal sheets on the RAM chips.
Does any one know the thickness of those?
The sizes i can buy are 0.5mm 1.0mm 1.5mm
I can open it and measure them but that will be the Nuclear option :)
Thank you very much

Hei, the local supplier will probably reap me off :) they will ask me to send it to them(6-10 euros) they will charge additional 14 euros fot the clean up and also they will charge me for the sheets and this goes up to 30 euros which is too much just for a heat dispersing element that you can buy for 2 -5 euros :)

Qosmio F50 - Webcam error - Invalid floating point operation

Hi
I have Qosmio F50 (4 Weeks old) problem is after two weeks webcam has stopped working *Invalid floating point operation*
I have to close program via task manager, *Camera assistant software not responding*.
Have tried following.
Update all drivers, system restore
Toshiba help line after all efforts suggested complete reinstall this is to aggressive for me as it would loose certain software on laptop that I had to transfer from old PC and had to plead with certain software companies to transfer (only one license etc).
Has anybody else had this problem and is there a simple solution
Will

Hi,
I have the same problem, Laptop Qosmio F50 is 4 weeks old and now the webcam stopped working.... it's quite annoying, whenever I start the application it says ' Invalid floating point operation'. To me this sounds as some issues in the software and the compatibility on vista, I think it could happen after putting the laptop to hibernate or suspension state and then when it comes back, the webcam stops working. so let's see if toshiba realeases a fix or new version quickly, otherwise I would be quite disspointed with such a good laptop.

Card Reader issue on Qosmio F50-10Z

I have had this issue for a while, It began with the original os Vista 32 bit, so i decided to buy the toshiba upgrade cd for windows 7, after upgrading everything worked fine, except the card reader, no matter how many times i installed/uninstalled,installed the driver it would not work!.
So I used the recovery cd, not once BUT TWICE, and to no avail i sent it off to repair.
I got a message on a piece of paper telling me it would work on the original os, i thought they had fixed something.
So i used the recovery cd yet AGAIN, and to my short lifted excitement of seeing no yellow explanation marks i put in a micro sd card (2gb) which initially worked when i first bought this laptop, and got no response.
The bigger problem is my warranty is now finished!, So basicly i have been BUMPED OVER, cause the memory card slot is NOT WORKING, and it wasnt an software related problem!
Any reccomendations?.

Hi karimtarek,
Which driver version you are using on Vista and Windows 7? My Qosmio F50 is running Windows 7 and Im using driver version 1.00.29.02 from the Toshiba page.
Are you using the same version?
Furthermore it would be interesting to know if the SD card slot worked after you got the notebook from service center back. Have you tested this before or have you started recovery installation immediately?
Have you tried different brand of SD cards? I always use SanDisk Extreme cards because they never made any problems.
Furthermore you could try updating the BIOS. Maybe it works if you using a pretty old version
Last but not least if its still not work and you think its a hardware malfunction, ask the service centre again. If you speak a little bit with technicians, maybe they can repair it as a gesture of goodwill.
Good luck! :)

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Front panel issues

Hello there,
I originally had the Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and all was fine. It all worked and the world was happy. I then (won't go into details) managed to damage the card and whilst I still got sound, the front panel and the joystick port would not work. As it was only the card that was broken, I purchased a new Audigy 2 ZS card assuming I would be able to just stick the front panel connector back on and all would be hunky-dory.
As you probably guessed, I am here, so all is not well. Whilst the game port now works, the front panel still does not respond to anything and I am at a loss. Is there some kind of jumper I need to switch or something? What have I done wrong.
All input is more that welcome, thanks...

i am having front panel issues. i think the damage to the card is a potential problem, but i don't think it's the cause for the panel not working. i think something is just seriously wrong with creative hardware. i really don't think pre-sales testing was performed extensi'vely enough. i have had more problems with my audigy 2 platinum in the 2.5 yrs i've had it than a new born baby. to make a long story short, i did a complete upgrade of my system, the only thing i kept was my case and audigy 2 and front dri've bay. i did nothing different than i had before, re-installed windows and everything. everything EXCEPT the front dri've bay works. i do get the red light from the optical out though, so there is power. i don't know what's wrong with this thing. all i can say is: creative you need to get your s**t together, you have as many issues with your sound blaster cards as microsoft has with windows. tech support: you need to do something for once and answer posts that people ask. i posted my question about this problem 7 months ago when it happened, guess how many repsonses i have. ZERO, NONE, NADA, NOT ONE RESPONSE. i don't blame forum users, not everyone knows, i blame tech support b/c you don't respond. i have no clue why, but do something, please.

P6N Sli Platinum front audio panel and CPU temp voltage issues

Hi All,
I got my P6N Sli Platinum yesterday, build up my computer without any major issues. However I have noticed that my audio front panel does not work. It could not detect my microphone when i plug it into front auido panel, it works fine for the rear auido panel though.
Another issues is I highly doubt the accuracy of CPU temp sensor. Msi 's software monitor reports my CPU temp is around 19-20 degree, I know that's too good to be true even I am using a water cooling system. Btw my cpu is E6600. Anyone else has the similar issues?
The third, I notice my CPU voltage is bouncing between 1.1 to 1.24 in CPU-z. And the multiplier is changing from 6 to 9, frequency is changing from 1.6g to 2.4g. I only see this in CPU-z. Msi 's own software reports CPU running at 2.4g though. Is this cpuz issue or something else?
Finally, any tips to max the overclock potential of this board? I have overclocked to 3.1g but there are some crashes. Going higher the board just won't boot up. I read a review on anandtech.com says 1.22 bios is good for oc. Where can i download that? I only found 1.1 bios on official site.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Cheers

C2D-CPUs have a digital internal sensor to monitor CPU Core temperatures. Have a look at those with Core Temp ( http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/ ). This Tool reads the temperature data directly from the register of your CPU. There is nothing wrong with the sensor. It is rather the MSI tool that does not read the data it provides correctly.

There is no issue. What CPU-Z allows you to see there is the C1E-feature of your CPU at work. When there is nothing to do your processor will automatically reduce Core Voltages and frequency to save power and keep temperatures down. As soon as the work load increases the multiplier is set back to x9 and core voltages increase dynamically. It is meant to be a good thing.
I have overclocked my system a little and I like that the C1E feature is still working at this speed setting CPU frequency to 2GHz and core voltage to 1.144v when my system is idle.
If you have problems with this feature you can turn it off in BIOS. The option is labeled as "C1E Support" and might be hidden somewhere. You may be able to hit "F4" to unhide it.
The MSI utilities are not the best tools to monitor your system. CPU-Z, Core Temp, Everest, Speedfan, Memset, Rightmark Memory Analyzer for example do a far better job.

Qosmio F50 very dim display issue

Hi everyone
Recently my Qosmio F50-10z has started suffering a very weird problem. Often the screen goes absolutely dim. I can see a very very faint image if I concentrate very hard. External monitors when connected stay well lit and bright. The most weird bit is that when this happens I have to literally slam the lid shut and open the lid immediately to make the screen light up again.
I know it is either the inverter or the screen cable. My question is how do I find out whether it is the VGA cable or the inverter and where do I buy the part from!
Please help!
Thanks!

In my opinion its an FL inverter issue since the picture on the external monitor is ok.
The FL inverter controls the display backlight and the issue sounds like FL inverter malfunction.
You can purchase and order all compatible parts from an local ASP.
The authorized service partner would be helpful and could also replace the part.
I would recommend this because notebook disassembling is very tricky.
