Qosmio G10-133 & Vista can not recognise my memory stick

Hi,
I have installed VISTA on this laptop, and I have had a few problems as you can imagine!!!!
I can not get it to recognise my memory stick. I can't find any drivers and Windows can not solve the problem.
Anybody got any clues?
I am also having a problem if I power off the laptop. The only way I can get the power on button to work is to remove the mains cable and the battery and then I can power on the laptop. If I don't remove the power cable and the battery, I get a green light on the power button, or no light at all, and pressing it seems to do nothing. I also get a flashing orange light on the mains power light at the front of the laptop. I assume it is something to do with the computer thinking it has hibernated or something?

What to say buddy.
The Vista is not supported on the Qosmio G10 series officially and therefore the Vista drivers dont exists for this series.
Fact is that you need an card reader driver to use the memory sticks. But as I said above such drivers are not released and dont exists.
What you can do is to check the drivers for G30 but Im very skeptical that this will work on G10.
Bye

I have photos on a USB memory stick which I want to put onto my iPad. I bought the USB adaptor but for some reason the iPad is not recognising the memory stick. Can anyone help? Thank you

You need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them. But a lot of USB memory sticks need more power than is supplied to the kit, so you may need a powered hub between it and kit.

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 G10-133 - need Keyboard Part No

I have a Qosmio G10-133 for about 5 months, but alas a small picture fell and damaged the keyboard. It broke one key luckily, and one that isn't used much!!! The |\ key. But it is still a pain. I could claim on my household insurance, but I wont.
I am trying to find the correct part number. How easy is it to install a replacement? I recently changed a hard drive for a friend in other notebook, and keyboard removal replacement seemed very easy. What is it like on the Tosh?

I just couldn't be sure as one website like www.laptopbits.co.uk says:
Toshiba Replacement Keyboard UK Specification
New Toshiba original spare part for the following range of laptops - UK keys part number P000349000, P000405490 or P000367420

P000367420

So I wasn't sure, as I can get the part no P000367420 fairly a reasonable amount secondhand. But I am uncertain what the difference is between this one and the one you quote? Any ideas? Will this part no work on a g10?
Kind regards to all who are helping.

Macbook pro(2008 later) can not recognise external monitor(NEC UXI2090) with mini-DP to DVI adapter with 9600GT

I bought mini-DP to DVI frome Apple several monthes ago and it worked well in that time until yesterday the external monitor show me no signal sign. Other PCs were connected with the same cable and monitor and they are fine. I am wondering there is something wrong in the adaptor or macbook pro. Furthermore I found the external monitor can display nornally when I switched to 9400 graphic card and used mini-DP to VGA adapter. If I switch to 9600GT no signal again. If I switch 9400 using mini-DVI, it is shown on the external screening: Out of range... In a word, In the mode of 9600GT, mac can not recognise external monitor(I can not detect it in the systerm preference even I press detect display buttun) and 9400 works in VGA mode. However when I connect adapter to mac, the screen showed blue flash.
I reseted SMC, no use; I created a new account or enter mac to safe mode, no use; so far I did not reseted PRAM beacuse of something wrong of my system. I am downlaoding Mountain Lion OS and will install it. Then I will reset PRAM and try again.
I do not know whether I shoud change the adapter or the single-link DVI cable to dual-link. Someone said it is useful in their condition. I tried some methods from BBS, such as connected when devices were off and then open, and so on. I failed.
Any suggestion for this problem?
Addition: OS: 10.7.4(Lion)

I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure. Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous). However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
Hope that htis helps.

I have installed on my laptop a brand new Vista from the original DVD that Im using it on my desktop, but the problem is that vista can not detect my graphic card hd2600.
So Im stuck...... I tried to install the ati driver from the Toshiba update site but I get a error because ccc can not detect a graphic card ?????/

It is something special with the DVD that i have from Toshiba ?????
Thank you very much.

The whole issue is really mysterious. In my opinion there are two options;
Either your have used and tried to install a wrong graphic driver or there is something wrong with your GPU chip.
Are you 100% that you tired an right graphic driver from the Toshiba European driver page?
If yes, then I recommend contacting the ASP in your country because this could be really an hardware issue.
Furthermore I found you second posting in other thread

and I think more and more that this must be an graphic card issue.

1.8Ghz G5 (late 2004) can not recognise my sony digital camera

My PowerMac G5(Mac OS X 10.3.9) can not recognise sony digital camera,but my friend have same model G5 with no problem,what shell I do?

Did you use the very same camera on either Mac or just the same model? When my Mac (also G5 1.8 Dual, though the earlier spring model) had problems recognizing my Sony, it was a question of setting the USB mode on the camera: E.G. my camera allow to set its USB mode to either Normal or PTP, the PTP setting caused problems at times, though its too long to tell, of which nature they were. May be woth a try

How can i insert sony memory stick duo sd,sorry for my french.

I can not insert my merory stick duo in my macbook air 13"

The current 13" MacBook Air provides an SD card reader that reads SD type memory cards.
The Sony Memory Stick is an altogether different form of flash memory that the MBA is not designed to read directly. You will have to use a USB Memory Stick reader, purchased separately, and insert it into the USB port.

Online support says my imac (20" early '08) can only house 2 memory sticks of 2GB ea). Then, Apple tech on phone said I can actually install 2 sticks with 4GB each. If so, please tell me the EXACT specs on a 4GB stick I need (so many numbers and letters!

On apple site, it says my version of iMac (20", early 2008) can only house 2 memory sticks of 2 GB each.
But then called Apple, and tech rep told me i could actually install 2 memory sticks of 4 GB each - for 8GB total.
there are so many abbreviations, letters and numbers it's mind boggling.
So if i'm able to install this size, could someone please tell me what are the EXACT specs of a 4GB memory stick I'm needing?

Crucial have an application to run on you Mac and that will recommend memory that will work.

You can also try OWC for memory as well.

Need from Qosmio G10-133 the HDD Model Number

Hi, Does anyone know how i can get the model no of the original toshiba drive that shipped with my qosmio? (it was replaced due to failure)
If it helps my laptop is a G10 133 - PQG10E-02E00EEN serial no.25013825h
I have tried tech support to no avail..
Or does anyone have a G10 133 that has its original 80gig hard drive in that they could tell me what the model number is..please!!
Reason being i have the original plattens and i need to buy an identical drive to try and salvage some data
Thanks in advance

Hi chaps, don't think my post was that clear..
The original drive that was in my qosmio was replaced under warranty due to failure. Toshiba told me that they would not recover any data that was left on the drive so before sending it in to be replaced i removed the hard drive plattens hoping to retrieve the data later.
Anyway i wrote the blasted model no of the drive down hoping to get the same drive and replace my plattens in that one just to retrieve the data, unfortunately we moved home in between and i can't find it anywhere!!
I think my original drive was an MK8032GAX but not 100% sure, Teleplan the repairer have replaced my original drive with a new MK8026GAX.
If i'm to stand any chance of recovering the data i need to find an identical model hard drive to the original one that was in my laptop.
Any ideas?

Windows Vista - iTunes not recognising iPod!

iTunes is not recognising my iPod and the iPod Setup Assistant isn't showing automatically. Can anyone help. I have a new laptop with Window Vista is this operating system the problem? Can help would be appreciated. I can import music into iTunes OK and purchase music from iTunes itself I just can't get iTunes to recognise my iPod!

> Step 3:Download and install the latest chipset drivers from the laptop manufacturers website.
>*So here I am with the issue still not resolved. How do i Download and install the latest chipset drivers >in order to have Toshiba Satellite L300 & Microsoft Vista recognise my ipod?
Install an hardware diagnostic tool like Everest home Edit or similar.
This tool would provide all hardware details about your notebook.
It would list all devices and chipset name too.
I think its Intel chipset so you could find the driver on the Intel page

Satellite L300 & Windows Vista are not recognising Ipod

hi, i'm hoping you can help!!! I have been directed here by Microsoft & Apple - below is my issue and also Microsofts response:
i have an ipod nano 3rd gen, working off a near new laptop with windows vista. itunes is all set up, no issues with ipod at all but when i plug the ipod in, it only charges the ipod.
computer does not recognise the ipod at all, in windows or itunes. there is no portable device driver in the Device Manager or anywhere at all.
it is not the usb port as other usb's have been recognised. i've tried in all other usb ports as well. bottom line is that windows vista (and itunes) is not recognising the ipod at all.
i've been in touch with apple, with no avail. i've googled solutions only to find hundreds of other posts with exactly the same problem but no helpful solution. windows vista has no portable device port - how does one get this on their pc???
i've been at this for 4 days now and have uninstalled/reinstalled way too many times and i'm at wits end!! any advice (other than "have you tried another usb port" or "have you reset the ipod" or anything similar) would be much appreciated.
once again, there is no portable/ipod device drive located on this computer. please, i'm really hoping someone can help =)
*Microsofts response:*
Hi,
Step 1:Turn USB bus power back
If laptop is configured to conserve power by turning off power on the USB (Universal Serial Bus), it might not recognize a connected iPod.
To turn USB bus power back, you may follow the steps mentioned in the Apple link below
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1401
You stated Windows vista has no portable device port Normally, all portable devices are connected via a USB port and they appear under Universal Serial Bus controllers in the Device Manager.
Step 2:Reinstall USB controllers.
First, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:
1. Click "Start", type in Device Manager the Search bar and press "Enter". Click Continue if necessary.
2. In Device Manager, double click to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers", right click on the "Host Controller", click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
3. Repeat the step 2 to uninstall all items under "Universal Serial Bus controllers".
Then, restart your computer and windows will reinstall all USB controllers automatically.
If the issue still persists,
*Step 3:Download and install the latest chipset drivers from the laptop manufacturers website.*
*So here I am with the issue still not resolved. *How do i Download and install the latest chipset drivers in order to have Toshiba Satellite L300 & Microsoft Vista recognise my ipod??*
Many thanks in advance!

XP update wrecks my screen resolution on Qosmio G10-133

I am running a two years old G10-133. Great and reliable machine. The reason I bought it was because it has great screen resolution/sharpness for MS Word texts and Outlook emails.
For various reasons I do not download the MS Windows updates that are frequently offered in a pop-up at start up (suspicion that they can bring more problems than they solve). Anyway I have recently (despite running Norton Security all the time) picked up some sort of nasty malware in Google that hijacks around 50% of the google links after a search and sends then off to another search engine with links.
The windows and Norton firewalls did not pick these up or clean them out so I tried the Spybot freeware to get rid of them to no affect.
Finally rang up Toshiba Europe Support and the chap there recommended that :
1) Don't use Norton. Waste of time and money and slows machine. Get the new Windows Defender freeware instead.
2) Do all the XP updates
So I started with all the windows updates (loads), including Internet Explorer 7.
Guess what, after restart computer went a bit slow cranky, but worse the screen resolution (sharpness/clarity of text) had deteriorated in both Word, Outlook and Explorer.
So I called Toshiba Support again (I am on a three years warranty contract) and they could not solve the problem or suggest anything and seemed surprised that it had happened. We checked the usual screen resolution things in Control panels to no avail.
So I gave up, set the System Restore back before all the updates.
Computer is now stable and the screen resolution back to where it was.
Questions:
1) Can I get the XP updates and EXP 7 and still get my old (best) screen resolution.
2) What about giving up Norton for Windows Defender good/safe idea?
3) Any ideas on how to stop the hijacking of Google links?
All help much appreciated

Hi
1.) This is very strange and I have never heard about bad display quality after installation of Microsoft updates!
I think you should try to contact the Microsoft support and maybe they know something about such strange behaviour.
But did you try to update graphic driver and/or BIOS?
2.) This is true. I have installed the Norton System Works several months ago and my unit booted very slow with preinstalled Norton Antivirus.
I have removed it and use and freeware AntiVirus application called "Antivir".
I don't want to use the MS Windows Defender. But I don't say this application is bad.
3) I don't know what you want to do but I don't think that this has something to do with your Toshiba notebook ;)

My pc on windows vista can not install driver for my Iphone 4s on 6.0.1

I can do everything in itunes but the windows driver can not be installed.

I too have experienced the Logitech s715i error message stating something like, the accessory is not a supported device of the iPhone. The speakers will charge my phone but will not "connect" to play music. I have an iPhone 4S running version 6.1 (10B142).
I too have contacted Logitech for support and am awaiting a reply.
Can we get some help over here?
