Qosmio G10-106: No warranty but motherboard was replaced free of charge

Hey there.
I have my toshiba QOSMIO G10 since 2005 and this year my graphic just went bad for any reason, my bad was I had my warranty already expired, so I called Toshiba to inform myself about the price of the mainboard as the graphic card is integrated with it.
It was absurd with VAT will cost me £630.00, I fell frustrated and I resolved to call Toshiba to make a complaining as a did. They returned my call telling me
They will change my mainboard FREE OF CHARGE and they did it in "48 hours" unbeliveble.
It was amazing and grateful. So if someone is having the same problem as i had just call them.
PS. this is my second Toshiba computer i can tell you after that i will love toshiba forever and i fell so happy and proud to have had purchased my computer from a respectable company as Toshiba.

I saw you have already posted you issue here in this thread:

Hello this is happening to us also (minus the Bluetooth speaker). We can't figure out what is causing the data usage. I turned off mobile data as soon s I activated the device, and got the message that unless I am connected to WiFi.....(that is exactly what I wanted). We watched Netflix for about three hours, then the alerts started. Like you we have many devices connected and never used over 2GB now all of a sudden we have used it in a matter of hours. My husband called Verizon and got the usual doubting Thomas response. I understand that they don't know my device settings. So over the phone we check all the settings and turned off every possible culprit eating up the data and end the call. By now I have purchased another gig for the month! Assured we are NOT using mobile data, we continue on the IE path to bliss. HA! A few hours later I check the mobile data usage on the Verizon website and that darn thing is still using data. After two more phone calls and two VERY uneventful trips to the local store we were told to take out the sim card. This has stopped the data usage, but it defeats the purpose of having the data plan. I could have just stuck with my Surface. Verizon sent us a new sim card. Its been installed and I have set my homepage to Verizon mobile data usage (just kidding) but I am on that site a lot. I am surprised at the number of complaints about this device. When we called the Verizon support acted as though this was the first time they had heard about this. Loved your post, you should write for a living.

Black and White Tv Pictures with Qosmio G10-106

Grey hairs and going bald from pulling hair out. Bought Toshiba G10-106 in Jan 05,living in Ireland using ordinary Tv cable for laptop and cannot get Tv to work properly.B&w images are the best ive got so far.
Is there compatability issues with Toshiba driver and Windows MCE?Also if i launch Tv without booting windows i get one channel(E4) in colour but totally fuzzy. Would love to have this cracked as spent lot of dosh on the laptop and am relatively new to computers and would like some feel good factor rather than depression.
Thanks all.

Sorry,i should have clarified. My hopes were to watch TV on the laptop itself using the built in TV tuner and the Antenna adapter supplied with the Qosmio,using no other equipment.
I have launch media centre/settings/current region=Ireland/cable or digital selected/analogue terrestrial pal/secam selected/No selected to "Do i have a set top box?",then i return to Tv settings as there is no Guide listings for Ireland.
I then scan for services. Thirty seven services found all in Black and White and some quite fuzzy. Hope this will narrow things down,i cant figure it.
Thanks for help.

I got an app on my iphone that was promotionally free. I borrowed an ipad from a friend and needed the app but it was not free anymore so i logged into my apple account and downloaded the app from there. Will i be charged for downloading it?

Will i be charged for downloading it from my account which had the app while it was still free?

Some apps are written for the iPhone. Some are written for the iPad. Some are universal and will run on both.
That app is NOT universal. That means you must purchase a separate version of the app for iPhone and iPad. The iPad version will NOT run on the iPhone.
In these cases, the iPhone version of the app usually WILL run on the iPad, but it will be window-boxed when running (or expanded and unable to take advantage of the iPad display).
Pay attention when making a purchase if you want it to run on both. If it does not have a + in the price box, it is not universal.

Qosmio G10-100: no powerup faulty motherboard

Hi
I am trying to remotely diagnose a powerup problem with my daughters Qosmio F20 (she is away at university).
When she powered up yesterday the most she got was the power button showing blue and variations of:
Completely black display - nothing more
Qosmio screen logo flickering with lines accross the screen, followed by black display
Qosmio screen logo flickering with lines accross the screen, followed by black display with flashing cursor.
Inserting recovery dvd and starting with f12 held down only gave blue button and black display.
Esc plus power up gives flickering Qosmio logo, followed by 0000 and flashing cursor on black screen.
Some other posts suggest a new motherboard is required.
Any suggestions?
What price to supply and install a motherboard?
This seems to be a common fault - is this common?
Thanks Colin

I had exactly the same problem and have been advised by the authorised service centre that it is a failed system board and that it will cost 500 to replace.
If you search through the forum you will find plenty of examples of the same issue which I dont believe is a coincidence. In the spirit of the forum I do not wish to start a witch hunt but it may be worth putting this fact to Toshiba.
You can get a factory refurb for about 650 but you have no guarantee it wont happen again if it is a design fault.

Qosmio F10 grafic card GForce 5700 128Mb was replaced on GForce 6600 128Mb

Does anybody has the same problem for Toshiba Qosmio F10 after video card replaced
Lines on the screen or computer does not start properly only fan is running but not logo Windows on the screen appears

Hi
This sounds not really good I dont know what the service guys done
Either the have forgotten to connect something or there is a malfunction.
I think you should contact the guys again to clear this silly situation.
I have already replied to your other post. There you should find the link to the ASP database.

Qosmio G10-133 Question about DVD COMBO Drive replacement

Hi
my laptop has a DVD driver labled UJ-830B but the device managaer reports that it is a UJ-830S. I have posted before saying I haven't been able to burn DVDs. It gets part way through then errors out saying unable to burn. I have used various software and disc makes but all to no avail.
I purchased an external burner which burns no problems, however it does defeat the object of having one built into the lapotop!!!
Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement drive? I have already tried an NEC 5540A drive, but my laptop didn't recognise that it was installed. I assume it is something to do with Master/Slave?? If the laptop doesn't recognise the drive I am obviously unable to flash any firmware.
Somebody please help.....

Hi
Seems you have already noticed that the drive replacement is not so easy.
The internal notebook drives dont support any jumpers like the external drives for desktop PCs and the settings are fixed and in my knowledge not changeable
I found some compatible drives numbers but unfortunately, I did not find the drive names.
It seems this are any internal part numbers.
DVD Super Multi Drive
- MATSU****A (G8CC00021610) UJ830
- MATSU****A (G8CC0001S610)
DVD Super Multi Drive (supporting Double-Layer)
- MATSU****A (G8CC00021611)
- TEAC (G8CC00024611)
However, the service partner could provide you a information about compatible drive.

I had a backed up iphone, but it was replaced by an empty file.

Recently i was having battery trouble with my 4S, so I reset it to factory conditions. I had had a backed up file full of my pictures, and contacts (All that matters to me). When I went to restore it from back up, the thing backed itself uip before restoring itself, and used the new file with nothing on it. So now not only did I lose everything on my iphone, I have nothing to back it up with!!! Does anyone know how I can get it back? TGhe sim seems to have blanked itself out as well.

I just want to know if there is any way to get my contacts back.
So you did not sync your contacts anywhere?
Contacts are only backed as part of Recents phone calls. They should be sync'd to your contacts application (or iCloud).
You can try something like this -=> http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com
to see if it'll dig contacts out.
If you do manage to get them, make sure you sync your iPhone and backup regularly.

IPod touch 4g defects..but won't replace free by the service provider

i've been to service center.. my ipod touch 4g is still under warranty because i got that only Last March 2012. The problem is that the volume button (particularly for the decreasing) is very sticky. see i've asked this question couple of months ago and majority says that i should take this to nearest service inquiry. Yes, the button is sticky.. although i could still press it, but it's very difficult and truly a discomfort. the next one is it has a screen defects but not cracks.. there is a shadow.. the ipod icon is left on the display no matter where i go even on apps. tried resetting it a gazillion times but it still remains there badly. i took it to the nearest apple center and talk to a personnel and try to explain things about my problem. he just examined the 3.5 mm jack and says i could no longer replace the device free because according to him, the metallic thing inside has discolorated which indicates that it got wet already.. then he is reading something that "according to apple terms and conditions blah blah,,,,defects with your device due to accidents are not covered in warranty" he said it could be replaced but with charge already.. what should i do something about it?

If your iPod got wet, then the warranty has been voided and you will have to pay for replacement. User damage is not covered by the warranty. If you do not believe the service technician, you can try another service center and see if they make the same diagnosis. If they do, then there's nothing you can do other than pay the fee if you wish a replacement.
Regards.

Imac hard drive died and was replaced by apple. Data lost but is remains on ipads. Computer address is different so can't sync without erasing ipad data (which I need back on repaired imac). How do I do this?

How do I transfer data from and Ipad/iphone to an imac with a different address then initally setup with? Our hard drive died and was replaced free of charge by Apple, our data was lost on the hard drive but exists on our small devices.

Since Apple replaced the hard drive does that mean you have AppleCare? If so, call them. If not, you must have paid pretty good to get it replaced and so I would think you have some possible right to ask a followup question at the store that did it.

Qosmio G10-133: Where to find NVIDIA GeForce FX Go6600 Vista drivers

I have a Qosmio G10-133 with the upgraded motherboard which I believe has the Nvidia GeForce FX Go6600 graphics chip, not the older motherboard which had the 5900 chip.
I am trying to find a recommended driver for this chip when using Vista as an operating system.
I know Toshiba no longer support this discontued model and certainly do not have the drivers on their website.
Anybody got any ideas where I can obtain a suitable driver, or even if there is one.
Nvidia's website just states that invidiual laptop manufacturers adapt drivers for their chips and don't provide a driver.
Any ideas?

From my understanding the Toshiba doesnt support any Vista drivers for the Qosmio G10 The Vista seems to be supported since Qosmio G30 series
I have read several threads about the compatible graphic drivers for Vista OS and the _www.laptopvideo2go.com_ website provides some nVidia drivers.
But note; these drivers are not tested and therefore you can install and use it only at your own risk
Best regards

Qosmio G10: analog video signal capturing from Camcorder

Please help
I am from Canada and new to this forum. I bought a Qosmio G10 early this year but only had a chance to try to use it to capture and convert my V8 home video tapes recently with no success.
I have tried the Toshiba Tech support with no hope. I have tried the registery patch for VinDVD creator 2, but still it is not seeing my video input stream from the camcorder. I tried both S-Video and Composite inputs with no result. Anybody with similar experience?
I appreciate your help.
Moe

Help please?
It's me again!
So far I've got the analog video stream captured only when using DVD Creator 2. But, I still have two more problems to solve. 1) When I stop recording onto DVD creator, always error message:"WinDVD Creator has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." is displayed, and restarting the program it cannot open the recorded clip saying "either the file is corrupt or a non-compatible file format" while Windows Media player can play it back. I cannot edit the recorded video clip as a result. 2) The second problem is that the video stream from S-Video of analog camcorder is played back OK, but once click the record on DVD creator, the video capturing starts to lag and looses smooth flow.
Any hint or comment is appreciated.
Thanks,
Moe

Let my battery die, plugged the adapter in but now it thinks it is charged.

My computer was fully charged when I let it sleep. I came back a few hours later to open my laptop when it died (my mistake). I plugged it back in to turn it on, it would start up but die again. I held the power button, it turned on but the charger icon says it is fully charged when it is not. It died a few minutes later. I am not sure if the charger is messed or if my battery is. The charger keeps saying it is charged but I know it is not. I have had this macbook for about 6 months and I do use is everyday so maybe it is the battery. Does that sounds right?

I think a lot of people use their Mac's everyday so after 6 months if yours is doing something like this it sounds like you have a battery issue. It'll still be under warranty so take it to an Apple Store and get your battery replaced, free of charge (i should imagine).
