Qosmio G20-107 frozen while surfing

Hi,
I have had a problem yesterday while surfing on the net : The machine stopped responding (frozen) and then Ive heard a long (for 20secs or more) bip. Then I had to reboot the machine by pressing the on/off button. It's shut down, but It didn't boot up again. I had to wait 5 minutes and then it booted OK. There's nothing in the event logs of windows ...
Has anybody ever experienced that?

The battery is not a problem. Just make sure that you run the computer on battery power at least once a month until it is completely discharged. Recharge it and repeat the process. This is to ensure that your battery can retain a charge.
From what you say, I am quite sure that your problem originated from an empty battery. System beeps all have a meaning and the type of beep (long, short, single or multiple) tells you the type of problem you are having. unfortunatly, the warning system is not universal and varies according to the mother board. If this happens again, you should contact the Toshiba Helpline.
Also, it is a good idea to turn your computer off from time to time. There is a built in security feature that will automatically turn the system off should the PCU become too hot.

Re: Qosmio G20 blocked on JBOD in the BIOS

Hi,
I have a problem with the Toshiba Qosmio G20-109 .
The system does not start, the two hard drives in JBOD (unable to start Windows).
HDD1 - 120GB
HDD2 - 250GB
So I wanted to put the first HDD 1 1RAID-0 using the method described in the manual : I entered the code 1 2 3 4 and I pressed Enter.
The problem is that once entered the BIOS code remained frozen and blocked.
I tried everything , I 'm not despairing by reaching install an OS.
I hope there is a solution.

It's simple.
1RAID-0: HDD 1
JBOD: HDD 2
DVD Drive does not boot a modified Windows. I had an official version that starts but does not have the driver.
I created a CD with the driver using nLite but he did not recognize.
I found on the internet a CD Win XP SP3 Toshiba OEM.
Miraculously, he possessed the RAID drivers and recognized the hard drives that allowed me to install Windows.
I installed Windows on the HDD 1 and I just formatted the HDD 2.
Thereafter, I installed Windows 7 with the driver.
Toshiba RAID: 1.11.17
Toshiba RAID Virtual Device: 1.1.0.0
I updated the firmware of the DVD drive : D100> D101> D102 it allowed me to start the CD created with nLite.
All drivers are up to date for Windows 7.
Only the buttons to the TV does not work (touch keys) !!

Qosmio G20 Beeping a lot and dimming screen - why?

Occasionally my Qosmio G20 starts beeping a lot and reducing the brightness on the screen.
This happens while it is running on AC power and with the power option set to highest level.
Simoultanesly there are some blue lights above the keyboard that starts blinking.
The only way to stop this behaviour is to press the key below the blinking blue light, and then go to the control panel an manipulate the power settings. To do that, I have to change the brightness, press apply, restore the brightness and press apply again. After that it may work for a long time before the next incident.
I have the latest Windows updates, I have an anti virus installed, and I have spyware removers installed, so I don't think any of those are to be suspected.
Usually this happens while the PC is playing a movie, but occasionaly it happens while I am playing a game or when I use it for work.
Any help will be appreciated.
regards
Olav

Hi
I would recommend to check the Toshiba power saver.
Select your power mode and check the setup action settings.
Please check the Alarm level settings.
You should take a look also on the basic setup. There you can check the screen brightness.
Please be sure that the unit uses the Toshiba power saver schemes in the Windows power options properties.

Qosmio G20 wakes from hibernation for no apparent reason

Greetings All,
For a while now I have noticed that my Qosmio G20 tends to wake from hibernation at random times for no apparent reason. When I place it into hibernation overnight it successfully transitions into a hibernation state but (usually) after a few hours suddenly wakes from said state for no reason.
Obviously this isn't a critical issue but I do prefer to hibernate whenever practicable (as opposed to standby) and it is rather annoying to awoken at 4:00am by the Qosmio's triumphant burst of music (still it's better than windows 'ta da!' :P)
Any ideas?
Kindest,
Lee.

There is indeed such an option available on screen 1 of the BIOS setup, unfortunately it is presently set as disabled so I guess that isn't the cause of my woes. :(
Thanks for replying though, always nice to learn a new thing. ;)

Dust inside the screen of my Qosmio G20-136

Hi,
I have a weird problem on my Qosmio G20-136, there are 2 spots of dust inside, and recently a very small insect manages to get between the LCD on the protective sheet. I can assure you I though I was mad watching the insect moving without being able to do anything.
Am I the only one with such issue ? How can I contact TOSHIBA, to understand what's wrong with the isolation of the laptop ? The laptop is only moving in the flat !
I try to get contact with Toshiba FR, but all the answers I have is a expensive phone number. For the price of such a PC, they could at least provide email or chat support !
Is someone from Toshiba is reading, I would appreciate to get a contact.
email : toshiba AT tykhan.net

Yes, that would be the best, contact a local servicepartner and let them check your machine because its sensless to shout here while doing nothing.
Just check this link to find the nearest authorized service partner:

Hope they will fix your problem.

Can't get a picture from a plugged-in VHS player on Qosmio G20

Hi! Would be pleased if somebody could help me on the following:
Got notebook Toshiba-Qosmio G20
I can't get a picture from a plugged-in VHS player. I've installed the VHS player in accordance with the PC manual through the Monitor-in socket and the enclosed cable. There's also an interesting remark in the manual: "before installing any device through the Monitor-in port, you should tune the Terminal Shape parameter (socket shape)". But there's nothing said on how or where this tuning should be done.
HELP! PLEASE! My stupidity is embarrassing!
Many thanks in advance!

In fact I didnt find that Terminal Shape switch. Ive simply recorded the video from VHS player onto the notebook hard drive with WinDVD Creator 2 programme. And right after that I have encountered another problem the picture from the plugged-in VHS player was shifted downwards (the upper part of the frame was below, while the lower part was seen in the top of the screen). Ive tried plugging through S-Video and RCA, but it also didnt help. I would be very pleased if somebody could help me.

Qosmio G20 - Unable to initialize 320GB drive - JBOD to 1RAID-0

Hello, fellow Toshiba users,
at first I apologize if this question has already been answered, but I failed to find existing answers to my problem.
A colleague of mine has a Toshiba Qosmio G20 with two 80 GB disk drives. Large 17 inch "surf-board-sized" laptops aren't my cup of tea, but the Qosmio served him pretty well.
We tried to upgrade both aging hard drives in his laptop. Having considerable experience in replacing the laptop drives I didn't expect any particular surprises, but I was wrong.
We tried to replace the original drives
bay 1: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, system
bay 2: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, data, RAID off
with the new ones
bay 1: 320 GB WD Scorpio drive
bay 2: 320 GB WD Scorpio drive.
The G20 BIOS is v1.30, the latest version. It recognizes the new drives' - but marking one of the new drives as 1RAID-0 fails. After trying to "initialize" the 320GB drive in bay 1 as 1RAID-0, on the third page of G20's BIOS, there is some disk activity, however the drive remains in JBOD mode.
Being unable to mark the 320 GB drive as 1RAID-0, I am unable to use the 320GB drive as a system drive.
If the original system drive is cloned to a new 320GB drive it fails to boot. Booting XP *starts* but subsequently fails with STOP 0x7B - in other words, the infamous INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE blue screen when Toshiba RAID driver is loaded during Windows bootup.
Installing windows from plain-vanilla CD, of course with slipstreamed Toshiba driver, remains impossible. The Windows setup only "sees" the drive in bay 2.
When the system drive is put in secondary bay and G20 is booted from it, Windows XP starts successfully. However, the drive in bay 1 is inaccesible from Windows, it remains offline in Toshiba's RAID console. So booting from drive in bay 2 isn't an option, too.
A similar problem where the owner failed to install a 200GB system drive is described here
Link: http://tinyurl.com/38wokw
That owner, however succeeded in installing a 100GB drive and we resorted to 80GB drive as a system drive, and upgrading only the drive in bay 2 to 320 GB.
I understand what happens when the drive is "initialized" in BIOS. Toshiba's BIOS only marks the drive as 1RAID-0 and it fails on 320GB drive. I'll refrain from stating my opinion on such practice.
My question is - if it is possible, how to *manually* mark the 320 GB drive as 1RAID-0?
Using a hex editor, dd or something similar is no problem. A partial answer would also be to know the largest drive size that *can* be successfully marked as 1RAID-0 in G20's BIOS.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Im not 100% sure what could be wrong by I presume the 320GB HDD size could be too large!
How about the 100GB or 120GB HDDs?
I think you should test it because usually the most of the BIOS supports an HDD size limitation and therefore not all sizes are supported.
But note; using the 1RAID-0 (striping) configuration, the size seen by the OS is twice that if the smaller of the two HDD units in the RAID configuration. Using the RAID-0 all data on both disks will be lost, even if only one of the two disks drive fails.

Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? Not needed to install Windows Vista

Hello,
I am new at this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in Brazil. I own a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
To do this, you must perform a fresh install of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100),for audio (Soundmax), for TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (toshiba modem), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install Toshiba nvidia display driver, Toshiba Bluetooth (monitor and stack), Toshiba texas flash media driver, toshiba RAID (driver and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.
Below some pictures of my G20 Desktop screen:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen1.jpg
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen2.jpg
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen3.jpg
And here is an example of using deskscapes animated backgrounds with Windows Vista, called dreamscene.
It is in paused mode
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen4.jpg
To perform a fresh install of windows Vista:
Please, download the Toshiba RAID drivers from here:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/raid.rar
1. Copy the contents of this archive onto a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
3. Power on your computer and press F12 to display the boot menu.
4. Choose the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
5. On the first setup screen, choose your language options then press "Next".
6. Press "Install Now".
7. Type in your Product Key then press "Next".
8. Accept the license terms by checking the box then press "Next".
9. When asked "What type of installation do you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
10. When asked "Where do you want to install Windows", make sure your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, then click on "Load Driver".
11. Browse to the location you have copied the RAID drivers to then press "OK".
12. Setup will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
13. Make sure the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected then press "Next".
14. Continue the installation of Windows Vista as normal.
Now you will need the Toshiba drivers for your Qosmio G20:
See the Device manager info:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiodrivers1.jpg
Drivers:
1. SD memory controller
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/SD_memory.rar
2. Bluetooth monitor and stack
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_mon.rar
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_stack.rar
3. Nvidia display driver GeForce Go 6600
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/nvidia97.52.rar
4. Texas FlashMedia controller
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/flasmedia.rar
And finally the Toshiba utilities:

That's it...
So I must tell to you that Toshiba Qosmio G20 is Windows Vista Ultimate capable, indeed.
Hope this helps people who need and want to install Windows Vista Aero on their Qosmio G20 machines.

How to connect Qosmio G20 to HD Plasma TV

Hi...I'm so confused!!!!....please can someone advise me......Been reading all the posts on this.....What is the best way to Connect G20-139 running Vista Home to a HD Plasma?????........Can i buy a D-video to HDMI cable (searched the net but not sure on what i'm looking for in a cable...LOL).....any help please....i'm no expert!!!!

Hello Pattayamad,
About your question:
Hi...I'm so confused!!!!....please can someone advise me......Been reading all the posts on this.....What is the best way to Connect G20-139 running Vista Home to a HD Plasma?????........
Right now you will not be able to connect your Qosmio g20 to a high definition TV. Not because the Qosmio, but because you are running Windows Vista on it. The actual nvidia drivers are not working properly to enable the Scan progressive output to your Plasma TV. You can use only the Svideo output, which is not so good. Lets wait for the new graphic drivers for the geforce go6600.
Can i buy a D-video to HDMI cable (searched the net but not sure on what i'm looking for in a cable...LOL).....any help please....i'm no expert!!!!
No, there is not a D-video to HDMI available. You can use the D-video to component cable (red, green and blue RCAs) or you can buy the SCART adapter to component, and use the cable supplied with your notebook (D-video to SCART) with this adapter.
but , if you want to output Scan progressive resolutions with the video component cable, you must use the windows media Center 2005 OS. Not working with Vista.

Qosmio G20-102: RAID problem when installing windows xp media center

First I didn't find the raid driver for my qosmio. I tried another Qosmio G20's RAID driver but when it reachs the stage when I ask windows to format the C driver it shows me an error. It says that it finds an error in the file KR10N and it ends there.
please help me and thank you.

Hi
It seems that the Qosmio G20-102 belongs to the PQG20E series.
Searching on the Toshiba European driver page I found the RAID driver v1.03.0008 for Windows XP MCE (can be used also with XP Pro).
You will need an external USB FDD to include this driver into the OS.
But note; after the RAID driver installation you shouldnt format the HDD or create a new partition because this will delete the RAID driver from the HDD and the OS installation fails!
I hope I could help you would also appreciate a feedback ;)
Best regards

TV-out problem with a Qosmio G20 - Scart option disappeared

I have a problem with my video board and its driver.
I have got a Qosmio G20 with a Nvidia GeForce Go 6600.
Yesterday when I boot my notebook i have seen that some setting were disappeared.
I have tried to connect the pc with the TV in the way described here: http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB4A00TK000MR01.htm
but the option scart in the tv format menu was disappeared and it was disappeared in bios setting too.
I have tried to reinstall the display driver but I haven't solved my problem.
Now i can't connect the pc with tv and this is a very big problem for me.
Please help me if you can.
thanks. (and sorry for my very bad english)

Hi
Maybe the scart cable malfunctions or is wrong?
Some cables have a wrong PIN assignment and therefore the TV connection not functions
In my opinion the cable should be checked
The other reason for the missing PAL scart option in the BIOS could be a wrong DMI setting. But this can be checked only by a ASP.
So try to contact the technician guys and talk to them about the problem of missing PAL scart option in BIOS.
bye

Qosmio G20: How to get higher screen resolution on external 22" monitor

I have a Qosmio G20 and today I bought a Samsung 226BW external screen. The Samsung has a max/optimal resolution of 1680x1050px. The Toshiba manual sais the laptop supports an external screen resolution up to 2048x1536 ...
I have now tried all kinds of settings, but the highest resolution I get on the external monitor is 1440x900 (- same as the laptop).
1440x900 on the 22" screen is not enough for serious picture editing; it simply looks unsharp.
What am I doing wrong? I deeply appreciate any answers/feedback; because if 1440x900 is all I can get, I have to take the xternal monitor back to the store ...
if anyone is so kind !?
Espen.

Hi
The available screen resolution depends on the graphic driver. You cannot choose the favorite resolution of 1680x1050 because the graphic card driver doesnt support it.
Maybe a graphic driver update could helps.
By the way; a inf file should be supplied by the monitor manufacture. You can install such file making right click and choosing install.

Qosmio G20: Can't read Roco brand DVD+RW disc

I have Roco brand 8x DVR+R and the Q G20 wont recognize the disc. I think it may be due to the Brand Roco since the Sony DVD+RW works fine except I cant save the video from the Sony to my HD.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I have solved this problem using Sonic Record Now!
I was able to copy my DVD using the Sonic Record Now that came with my Qosmio G20 to a Roco Brand DVD +RW. Once I made a copy of the orignal DVD, it did not work until I closed the Record Now and opened my media player. I could open using Real, Windows Media Player and WinDVD. None of these programs could read the DVD prior to recording and they could not format the disc.
Thanks
