Qosmio F750 - Glassless 3D doesn't work

Hi, I have searched the forum and read this thread :http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=64523&start=30&tstart=0
I am trying to get my PQF75A-04600Q to display 3D, The software that came with the Laptop is: Toshiba Video Player 3D and Corel WinDVD BD. Non seem to work, as i am understanding it the webcam is supposed to scan your eyes as you look at the 3D , does this happen automatically or as in the linked thread do i have to set the webcam up(if so how?.).
According to the linked thread i need to download 3 files, the Toshiba Blu-ray player, the X-Tune utility, and the Nvidia drivers. I have downloaded these but not yet installed them.( seems to me that the 3D should work "out of the Box" without having to install extra programs).
Cheers

Welcome linuts,
sorry, I don't know what a PQF75A-04600Q is.
In my first post on the thread
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=265647&#265647
I tried to explain how I got a "proof of concept" running, i.e. to see _anything_ on 3D on my glasses-free F750-11U.
Once I had gone through those steps it was much easier to get films working.
Let us know how you get on,

Qosmio F750 Toshiba applications have stopped working suddenly

Hi there,
can anyone help me?
All toshiba applications in my Toshiba Qosmio F750 have stopped working. Including Toshiba bulletin board, tohsiba blu-ray disc player, toshiba reeltime, etc... I don't know why and when it stopped working... please help me anyone :(

> I don't know why and when it stopped working
For us here on this forum is also not easy to understand what is the reason for your problem.
For that reason I also think best and of course the easiest way to fix all this is OS reinstallation.
Start to use your notebook with factory settings again. With clean recovery image installation everything will be perfect again.

Qosmio F750 - some keyboard keys stoped working

Hello
I have a Toshiba Qosmio F750 since 3 months ago. The other day, i just powered the laptop and noticed some keys (a,b,n,enter...) were not working at all. I tried to clean blowing under the keyboard and nothing. Also in the windows booting these keys dont work. Anyone with the same problem?
Someone knows how to solve this?
Is quite annoying having to use an external keyboard with a 3 months old laptop....
thank you!

Hi
I think only keyboard replacement could solve your keyboard button problem.
It looks like the single buttons are faulty and since the single buttons cannot be removed, the whole keyboard needs to be replaced.
Get in contact with an local Toshiba ASP. The warranty seems to be valid and the fix should be done free of charge sorry to say this but it seems you had simply a bad luck :(

Qosmio F10: TV function doesn't work properly in the MCE

I have a Qosmio F10, the TV Function has never worked properly when trying to watch TV in the Media centre Mode, only when switched on without goint through windows.
I have connected the aerial to a loft aerial which provides a perfect signal for other Televisions.
When I go to settings it always comes up no signal found any ideas?

Hi
I presume that your unit is preinstalled with recovery media and if yes, in this case you dont need any driver. The hardware is configured properly and it must work well if the antenna is connected properly. In my opinion you should learn more about Media Center Edition and how it works. Make a try with VHS recorder. Connect it to the notebook and scan the channels. The MCE will find just one channel (in my case number 30) and you can watch VHS cassettes on your notebook.
Please check this page http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/default.mspx
And there you will find explanation how it works.
Good luck!

Qosmio X875 - ECO mode doesn't work right after Win 8 upgrade

I used Toshiba upgrade assistant to upgrade to Win 8. It did a good job uninstalling the non-compatible software before upgrading, and installing the new Toshiba and driver versions after the upgraded was completed.
I activated ECO mode and to my surprise, it isn't working as before (in Win 7):
*Now, it just works with brightness in level 1*... very dim. Before, ECO mode allowed me to go up to level 4 and still was considered to be in Eco mode..
If I increase brightness, the message "eco Mode is turned Off" immediately pops up.
How to contact Toshiba to let them know of this problem and other problem I found with the new BIOS?
BTW, I own a Qosmio X875

Contact your Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
Read this:
+What is the TOSHIBA eco Utility?+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ2503AT0000R01.htm
> It changes the display brightness to Level-4, changes the dimmed display brightness to Level-1 (*4),
_The *4 means Only on models with Windows7 installed_
I assume the previous configuration was related to Win 7 only.
The Win 8 was made for mobile (tablet usage) too the battery power consumption is very important factory using Win 8. The battery consumption needs to be hold on lowest level as possible.
So I assume now using Win 8 and ECO mode means to save max power and to extended battery working time to a max level.

Qosmio F10: Recovery DVD doesn't work?

Hi. I have a F10 series qosmio series lappy and well and well i keep getting random shutdowns, freezes, and a logon error every time i start up.
This has got very disturbing for me. I tried to use the system recovery cd i got with my laptop and when i follow the procedure stated in the user manual it starts the recovery then flashes that my system does not support the recovery.
Is this normal especially when i got my recovery disc with my laptop. I wish to reformat my hard drive back to factory settings and have it completely wiped with out having to buy a totally new hard-drive and windows xp.
What do i do and how can you assist me in this? I'm at the end of my teather as one of my jobs is an internet dj and I cannot keep crashing in the middle of my streaming. I do not wish to loose my job!!
please help!

Hi
Very strange! The fact is that you cannot use different recovery CD because every Recovery CD was designed for one Toshiba notebook model. For example you cannot use a Qosmio F10 recovery CD on a Qosmio G20.
However, I assume you use the delivered recovery CD (as you said) and usually the recovery procedure should works without any warnings or error messages.
In my opinion there is something wrong with the CD. Maybe the wrong CD was shipped with this notebook?
I recommend asking the Toshiba ASP in your country. There you can also order the new CD.
bye

Qosmio G20 - New HDD doesn't work

I have a G20 and trying to change out one of my 60GB HDDs for a brand new 250GB (Western Digital WD2500BEVS, SATA 150, 5400 rpm).
First thing I need to add is that hard drive is fully detectable, formatable and usable in my desktop computer...but in my G20s it only detects it in the BIOS but has a status of 'failed' and my OS (XP) cannot see it at all.
Please can anyone help?

Yes you are correct.
I have a 60GB running my OS and attempted to install the new hard disc into the other slot. I did change the BIOS settings to RAID-0, even tryied RAID-1 (using the 60GB I took out and the new 250GB) but the 'built-in' status at the bottom of the BIOS menu for the 250 always shows "FAILED".
I even tried taking out all other discs and using only the 250, setting it to JBOD but still the same. I must confess I have given up using this as an internal drive since I read in the manual that either I use it as a 60GB (loosing any benefit of buying a lager capacity disc), or if it was set to "JBOD" I wouldn't be able to put windows on it.
Life is too short, so last night I bought a 2.5 external caddy and it works just fine.

Qosmio F750 - Cannot get some functions to work after Win 8 uprgade

I own a Qosmio F750-125, PQF75E.
Since I upgraded to Win 8, utilizing Toshiba Upgrade Assistant I might add, I had some issues.
Most importantly not being able to get my Toshiba Blu-ray player to install.
Eventually I managed, still don't exactly how but anyway, to install the latest version 1.0.0.5.70A.
The problem now is that the 3D function still don't seem to work.
When I open a 3D movie I only get the picture to display side by side, despite clicking on the 3D button.
I tried to update the Nvidia driver (v290) to the latest version v314, available on Nvidia site, for for my GeForce GT540M graphics card but every time I get a message that the driver cannot find compatible driver hardware. Eventually from within the upgrade files downloaded by Toshiba Upgrade Assistant I managed to install the v306. I am still however unable to install v 314, after the "system check" I still get the message that the driver can find compatible driver hardware.
However, the 3D still does not work. I notice that the face detection (SuperD Xtune) does not automatically start with the Blu-ray player when I launch or open a 3D file to be played by the Toshiba Blu-ray player, as it used to.
How can I get my Blu-ray Player to play my 3D properly again.
If I open Xtune I am able to calibrate the 3D and then it closes.
I do not see a app under all apps which seem to have anything to do with the face detection function.
Is there a setting that need to be changed, an additional driver to be installed or what?
I am really disappointed with the support I have received from Toshiba themselves on this issue.
I also wanted to update the BIOS of my laptop.
My bios version is 2 dating December 2011 but I notice that a newer BIOS is available from Toshiba Website dating February 2012, if I am not mistaken.
I downloaded that but when I run it I receive a message that my computer is not compatible.
**bleep** this is frustrating.
I want to get my 3D function back and be sure to run the latest and most appropriate drivers, at all times.

Dear Tonny
Thank you for patiently answering to my posts.
You are right, despite extensive notes in the Toshiba Step-by-Step upgrade guide and specific mention that the Blu-ray player can only be installed by using the Upgrade Assistant, it is not installed by the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant.
I am not sure though whether it actually did form part of the downloaded files but never the less I installed it by some miracle manually.
It did not want to install at first. I received a message that the player could not be found. I noticed that the player is a sMedio Inc player and I then searched sMedio Inc and download their WinDVD Pro player. After that the Blu-ray driver from Toshiba installed.
I also have it that v1.0.0.5.70A is the latest driver but through my local Toshiba Agent (MUSTEK) I received a driver from Germany and it was 1.0.0.5.48. I have not installed that as yet.
I am convinced that the problem lies with the interaction between the Blu-ray Player, Nvidia driver and SuperD software.
I searched my installed files and saw that I have Super D spd2900g and Super D X-tune installed. I uninstalled both and tried to re-install it form the file included in the Toshiba Upgrade Assistant (Super D IC Driver).
However only the Super D spd2900g part installed and the Super D X-tune part is now missing.
NOW I am completely BUGGERED because I do not know where to find the X-tune program to reinstall it.
SuperD's website is very basic, in fact somewhat primitive.
Thanks you also for the links, I have seen them somewhere and have had regard thereto but they are outdated.
They relate to much older versions and windows 7 not 8.
I must be honest, the poor response and support from Toshiba will most definitely lead to me not buying their product again. None of the so called technicians have help me achieve anything. I struggled and figured out everything myself so far.
I still also have no answer in respect of the BIOS upgrade issue. Is there no one I can contact directly.

TV tuner doesn't work on Vista - Qosmio G20-127

My TV tuner doesn't work on Qosmio G20-127. Or should I be more specific it is not recognised at all, Media Center says there is not tuner hardware. I don't even know where would I install the driver, even if I had it. The only unrecognized device in device menager is 'Multimedia Video Controller'.
Did anyone have this problem or maybe still does? What are my options? Besides going back to WIN XP MCE. :)

So, I managed to find G30 driver for the TV tuner and installed it to 'Multimedia Video Controler'. And it seems to work. I downloaded the driver from toshiba's official site[url href=http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?macId=&mode=allMachines&userOS=& action=search&selCategory=2&selFamily=381&selSerie s=171&selProduct=627&selOS=26&selType=218&country= 52&language=13&search=]here[/url].

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:

Qosmio F750-10N and Win8.1 - haven't been able to get the right BT drivers

Hi,
Since upgrading my HDD and installing Windows 8(.1), I haven't been able to get the right Bluetooth drivers for my Qosmio F750-10N.
If I go through the download drivers section of the site, the drop down boxes for Language and region seem to be faulty so it won't show me any drivers.
Tried installing a generic Toshiba Bluetooth stack but it doesn't seem to be able to recognise my actual Bluetooth device. Also tried going through the Atheros site without much luck.
Please could someone help or possibly post a link to a download mirror.
Thanks very much.

Hi
First of all it seems that Win 8.1 is not supported for Qosmio F750.
Therefore I could be difficult to get BT working
However, as far as I know the Qosmio F750-10N was equipped with an Atheros AR9285 WLan/BT combo card.
This means that one module shares the WLan and BT and you need to install the Atheros BT Filter driver.
Beside the BT filter installation you have to install the Toshiba System Driver for Win 8.1
This system driver needs to be installed before BT filter driver.
But as I said: Win 8.1 is not supported for this Qosmio unit and you will not find Win 8.1 drivers in the F750 driver download section.
But you should try the drivers released for other, newer Qosmio series; i.e. X870
Good luck

Qosmio F750-03W - face recognition not start and video freezes

I apologize for my English.
Nvidia 3D testing program wheel shots. The face recognition does not start.
If on, the image activator 3D is disturbed and I do not see the image in 3D.
If I try the Games 3D compatible (Left4Dead) activates the 3D in 1080p but the game is jerky as the test image 3D not activate the face recognition.
3D play is to see in 2D photos into 3D but how do I vadere photos in 3D?
If active 3D activator the image quality is poor.
I did set both normal and advanced, but the videos have gost effects especially on the sides.

Hi
It looks your Qosmio F750-03W PQF75C-03W001 is an Toshiba Canadian model as I found this here:
http://support.toshiba.ca/support/isg/center/en/index.asp?s1=Notebook&s2=Qosmio&s3=F750&s4=PQF75C-03W001
First of all you should update the BIOS to the latest version (at this time it seems that BIOS 2.0 is the latest one).
Also update the
nVidia Display Driver version 8.17.12.9039
Super-D IC Driver version 1.0.1613.809
Toshiba Blu-ray Disc Player version 1.0.1.299
as mentioned here http://support.toshiba.ca/support/isg/tsb/en/view.asp?docid=TSB001633
if 3D stereo effects are not ok use the X-tune to calibrate this.
You are recommended to use this utility to optimize the 3D stereo effects when using the Glasses-Free 3D function for the first time or being unsatisfied with the 3D effects.
To operate the X-Tune utility, follow the steps as described below:
1. Select the language and optimization mode, and then click OK. There are three optimization modes: Primary, Advanced and Professional. You can choose one based on your own experience.
2. Sitting about 60cm away from your computer, click Start to continue.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions on each step.
4. Use the left or right arrow key on the keyboard to adjust the effect. When you are satisfied with the effect, click Enter and then an information window will appear on the screen. Press the ESC key on the keyboard to cancel the optimization procedure.
5. Click Finish to close the X-Tune utility.
You said your face recognition does not work properly so uninstall this software. Do this also with the webcam driver/software. After both tools has been uninstalled, clean registry using CCleaner and install both tools again using the newest version.
Reboot and start the X-Tune again to calibrate the 3D effects.
In the Toshiba doc (link posted above) you can find this notice:
1. Set [Screen resolution] to 1920x1080. Glasses free 3D mode is not enabled except in 1920x1080 mode.
2. Depending on game, it does not work with glasses free 3D mode and work with 2D mode.
3. Depending on game, it is not displayed correctly with stereoscopic 3D mode
4. Game is not displayed with glasses free 3D mode when running TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player with glasses free 3D mode
or running TOSHIBA Web Camera application.
5. The performance of the game will be decreased when playing game with glasses free 3D mode. If the performance of the game is decreased dramatically, please decrease the quality of image of the game using settings
of the game. If the performance of the game is still not enough, please disable glasses free 3D mode by unchecking [Enable stereoscopic 3D] at NVIDIA Control Panel.
6. Small fonts in the games may be difficult to read with glasses free 3D mode. At that time, please push 3D button of PC and disable glasses free 3D mode temporarily. Glasses free 3D mode is enabled if you push 3D button again
7. The response of the game may delay with glasses free 3D mode enabled. If you feel it and can not enjoy the game, please disable glasses free 3D mode by unchecking [Enable stereoscopic 3D] at NVIDIA Control Panel.
8. Glasses free 3D mode can be disabled temporarily by pressing 3D button of PC but it may be enabled while playing game. At that time, please push 3D button and disable it again.
9. When [Enable stereoscopic 3D] in NVIDIA Control Panel is unchecked, game will start with 2D mode. At this time, glasses free 3D mode is not enabled even if you pressed 3D button of PC while playing the game.
10. Glasses free 3D mode may be enabled except TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player and games. At this time, please disable glasses free 3D mode by unchecking [Enable stereoscopic 3D] at NVIDIA Control Panel.
11. The color of video may be different from original when playing video with full screen mode on RGB and non 3D TV if [Enable stereoscopic 3D] is checked. At this time, please disable glasses free 3D mode by unchecking [Enable stereoscopic 3D] at NVIDIA Control Panel.
Hope this helps.

Is my Qosmio F750 glasses free 3D compatable?

Hi,
Please help me to identify whether my recently bought Qosmio F750 with part number PQF75A-03000Q is a glass free 3D. If so please advise my how to set up and use. I restored the machine to factory settings and I can 'see' 3D is working. but no glasses free effects.
Should I buy glasses?

Please dont understand me wrong but I presume you have checked notebooks specification?
Is your notebook specified as 3D notebook or not?
Here in Europe there are several 3D glasses free Toshiba models but all belongs to newest series 8.

Re: Viewing 3D pictures made with 3D camcorder on Qosmio F750

Has anyone been able to view Panasonic 3D on a Qosmio 3D glass less system.
I have a Panasonic TM900 and would like to view its 3D on my F750 Qosmio.
The Panasonic pictures are side by side but there is a space of about one cm between them so the standard 3D does not overlap and one sees a double image.
Any suggestions ?
Thanx. Sander

Hi
Did you try to ask the manufacturer of this camcorder for support or details?
I think here in the forum you can get details and info how to use Qosmio F750 3D but I dont think that someone would be able to help you with this camcorder
I googled a little bit and it seems that 3D of this camcorder works in side-by-side method.
So you need the 3D TV (supporting side-by-side method), 3D glasses and HDMI cable.
The Toshiba Blu-ray Disc Player supports "Side-by-Side (LR)", "Side-by-Side (RL)", "Interleaved (LR)" and "Interleaved (RL) 3D method so you can watch 3D Blu-ray disks but as far as I know its not for 3D pictures.
Would also recommend checking other threads like this one:
