Qosmio G30-161: Question about D port and HD signal

Hi
would anyone know if i was to connect the cable which i got with the qosmio laptop, which is D connector to scart. If i was to get a scart to component and connect both scarts together with an adapter will it work.
would i get the high definition signal

  • Qosmio X300-14F - Question about illumination buttons and XP downgrade

    Hello,
    I've got 2 questions concerning the laptop I bought 3 weeks ago.
    _*Question1*_
    There are 9 buttons above the F-keys. They're being lit. In the beginning they all worked fine, but recently I've found that only the buttons designed to work in a mediaplayer work (meaning: pause/play, stop, previous, next). The other buttons (mediacenter, (un)mute, illumination on/off, webcam, DOLBY) refuse to do anything except for making beeping noises.
    I'd like to be able to decide when to turn the illumination off/on without dragging the wireless flashcardsized-controller with me everywhere I go.
    Any leads on how to solve this are welcome!
    I tried this already:
    Start > all programs > TOSHIBA > utilities > Toshiba Assist > optimize > Toshiba Button Support
    But there's 2 problems with that. First of all I don't know where the executable is that dims/turns on the lighting. Second of all it still doesn't work for e.g. the dolby button. All it does is beep - loud.
    _*Question2*_
    I've been thinking about 'downgrading' from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows XP since I'm tired of getting weekly BSODs and *daily* displaydriverfailures. I was concerned about not being able to find the drivers once I got XP on this laptop. I've looked on the official Toshiba website (this one :P), but there's only Windows Vista drivers?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    1) The program that turns on and off the illumination is called dimmer.exe. That you should find in the Toshiba folder (C:\program files\Toshiba).
    If you assign this exe file with the button it should work again. If not, try to reinstall the Toshiba Value Added Package.
    On the Dolby button its the same, you must assign the right .exe file with the key.
    2) The point is that only Windows Vista is supported on this notebook and there are no XP drivers available. You can collect the drivers on external website but if you have problems with XP you should downgrade to Vista. The notebook is really fast enough for Vista. ;)

  • Need help with my Toshiba remote control and receiver for Qosmio G30 161

    Hello to all
    I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-161 and with it I have a Toshiba remote control and a Toshiba remote control receiver, this is the first time I have used it (tried to that is), my problem is the remote is not working on the computer when I press any program buttons the computer does nothing.
    I have installed four brand new AA batteries and the remote works fine its sending signals to the receiver, the receiver the detecting the remote as a red light appears every time you press a button and as for the computer I have checked the drivers and the USB is picking up the receiver as a E-home remote receiver which I have checked with Toshiba and that is correct, so all in all the remote is working, the receiver is picking up signals and the pc has detected the receiver but nothing works, I have installed remote control manager but this still has done anything. I have spoken to Toshiba help and support and the end result is they are not sure what the problem is. Can anyone help I require the remote for slideshows for customers as I??m a photographer.
    Also to confirm I am running Windows XP MCE addition.
    Anthony Worlock

    Hi there,
    this remote contol works, if you use it without any special drivers and special software, only in the Media Center.
    But if you install such stuff like [WinLirc|winlirc.sourceforge.net] then you should be able to get some functions for your presentation.
    Please try this tool and check if it works.
    By the way: If I were you I would first read the Manual and FAQ of WinLirc before starting because its a little bit tricky to handle the program. :) (Too many settings :D)

  • A question about opening ports

    I have a question about opening ports with the airport. I need to open up ports UDP 88 & 3074 and port TCP 3074. I am wondering if I should open these ports for the specific IP address on my network that will be using them or if I should open the ports on the gateway IP (10.0.1.1) not sure which is the right route to take. Any help would be appreciated.
    These are for running an xbox over xbox live.

    Typically, you will want to open these ports for the device on your local network that needs to be accessed from the Internet. In this case, it would be your Xbox 360.
    Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers ... so there is no guarantee doing this will get Open NAT status for Xbox Live.
    The following web blog does a great job explaining the NAT issues with Xbox Live. Basically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox 360 with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live game that you want to play. As such, Port mapping may be required to allow Xbox Live access.
    The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:
    • UDP 88
    • UDP 3074
    • TCP 3074
    To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Xbox 360.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    o Reserve address by: MAC Address
    o Click Continue.
    o MAC Address: <enter the MAC hardware address of the Xbox>
    o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    o Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    o Click the "+" (Add) button
    o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    o Public UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
    o Public TCP Port(s): 3074
    o Private IP Address: <enter the DHCP Reserved IP address for the Xbox you created earlier>
    o Private UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
    o Private TCP Port(s): 3074
    o Click "Continue"

  • Question About Color's and Gradients

    Hi all,
    I have a question about color swatches and gradients.
    I am curious to know, if I have 2 color swatches that I make into a gradient color, is it posible to change the tint of each indivdual color in that gradient and have that applied to the gradient without having to adjust the gradients opacity.
    The reason that I'm asking this is because in creating a project I found that the colors that I chose for to make my gradient from my swatches were to dark, and while I can adjust each one's tint to my liking (if the object they were applied to was going to be a solid color) but that doesn't seem to apply to the overall gradient.
    I hope that makes sense, I know that this was something that was able to be accomplished in quark and was wondering if I can do something similar.

    If you double click your gradient swatch (after adding it to the swatches)
    Then click a colour stop in the gradient, and then change the drop down menu to CMYK (or rgb)
    And you can alter the percentages there. It's not much use for spot colours but it's a start.
    But making tint swatches would be a good start anyway.
    At least then when you double click the gradient (in the swatches) to edit it you can choose from CMYK, RGB, LAB, or Swatches and adjust each colour stop to your liking.

  • Question about clear page and reset pagination

    Hi,
    I have a question about clear pages and the reset pagination in an URL. What is the reason why a clear page doesn't also trigger a reset pagination on the pages which are cleared?
    I can't really imagine a business case where it makes sense to clear all data of page items on a page and don't reset the pagination of reports on that page which probably use a page item in there where clause...
    The drawback of this behavior is that a developer always has to set the reset pagination checkbox when he clears the target page and the even bigger drawback is that if you specify other pages to clear, you can't reset pagination for them, because reset pagination only works for the target page.
    Thanks for your input.

  • The question about portlet customization and synchronization

    I have a question about portlet customization and synchronization.
    When I call
    NameValuePersonalizationObject data = (NameValuePersonalizationObject) PortletRendererUtil.getEditData(portletRenderRequest);
    portletRenderRequest.setPortletTitle(str);
    portletRenderRequest.putString(aKey, aValue);
    PortletRendererUtil.submitEditData(portletRenderRequest, data);
    Should I make any synchronization myself (use "synchronized" blocks or something else) or this procedure is made thread-safe on the level of the Portal API?

    HI Dimitry,
    I dont think you have to synchronize the block. i guess the code is synchronized internally.

  • A question about item "type and release" of  source system creation

    Hello expert,
    I have a question about item "type and release" of  source system creation.
    As we know,when we create a web servie source system,there will display a pop-up which includes three items as "logical system","source system"and "type and release".
    About the item "type and release",when we push "F4" button,there will be three default selections as below:
    "ORA 115     Oracle Applications 11i
    TLF 205     Tealeaf 2.05B
    XPD 020     SAP xPD".
    Who can tell me when and how should I use the three selections.
    And also I attempted to input the item by some optional letters except the default three selections and it seems that I can input it freely.
    Thank you and Best Regards,
    Maggie

    Hello DMK,
    Thank you very much for your answer.It is very helpful for me.
    Can I ask you further about it?
    I got that it is a semantic description item.
    You said the default selections are set by our basis people.Would you like to tell me how should we creat a new value except the default ones for item "type and release"?Only by inputing the value in the item directly?But you see we canot see the new value item we created by ourself when we push "F4" button next time ,is that ok?Or do we have to ask basis people to define one new value item just like the default seletions before we use it.
    Also if possible would you like to describe detail about "This becomes important when you are troubleshooting certain issues especially when RFC connection problems."
    Thank you and Best Regards,

  • A few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx

    i have a few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx , how much better is the dka790gx compaired to the ka790gx ? . how much difference does the ACC function make to overclocking etc , i plan on getting a phenom II 940BE or 720BE . i already have the ka790gx so would it be worth building another system using the dka790gx mobo , or should i keep what i already have and just change the cpu ?

    It's largely irrelevant what other boards had VRM issues other than the KA790GX - the fact is it died at stock settings. Since there is little cost difference between the more robust DKA790GX (or Platinum if you really need 1394) why bother with the proven weakling? There are other examples around of the KA not having a robust power section.  There's no way I would use even a 95W TDP CPU in the KA and absolutely not O/C.....!
    As for the credentials of Custom PC, I have generally found their reviews accurate and balanced, and echo my own findings where applicable. If a little too infrequent.
    The fact that the KA has such a huge VRM heatsink leads me to my other comments on the Forum, particularly regarding the "fudge" aspect:
    """Henry is spot on - the notion that adding a heatsink to the top of the D2PAK or whatever MOSFETS is effective is virtually worthless. The device's die thermal junction is the tab on the device back - which is always against the PCB pad. The majority of heat is therefore dissipated in to the board, and the fact that the epoxy plastic encapsulation gets hot is simply due to the inability of the heat to be conducted away from the device die via the tab. Not sure when Epoxy become an effective conductor of heat.... Good practice is to increase the size of the PCB pad (or "land" in American) such that the enlarged PCB copper area acts as an adequate heatsink. This is still not as effective as clamping a power device tab to an actual piece of ali or copper, but since the devices used are SMD devices, this is not possible. However, the surface area required to provide sufficient PCB copper area to act as a heatsink for several devices isn't available in the current motherboard layouts. Where industrial SBC designs differ in this respect is to place the VRM MOSFETs on the back of the PCB on very enlarged PCB pads - where real estate for components is not an issue.
    Gigabyte's UD3 2oz copper mainboards sound like a good idea, on the face of it. However, without knowing how they have connected the device tabs to where and what remains a mystery. I suspect it is more hype than solution, although there will be some positive effect. From an electrical perspective, having lower resistance connecting whatever to whatever (probably just a 0V plane) is no bad thing.
    The way the likes of ASUS sort of get round the problem is to increase the sheer number of MOSFET devices and effectively spread the heat dissipation over a larger physical area. This works to a degree, there is the same amount of heat being dissipated, but over several more square inches. The other advantage of this is that each leg of the VRM circuit passes less current and therefore localised heat is reduced. Remember that as well as absolute peak operating temperature causing reduced component life, thermal cycling stresses the mechanical aspects of components (die wire bonds for example) as well as the solder joints on the board. Keeping components at a relatively constant temperature, even if this is high (but within operating temperature limits), is a means of promoting longevity.
    For myself, the first thing I do with a seperate VRM heatsink is take it off and use a quiet fan to blow air on to the VRM area of the PCB - this is where the heat is. This has the added benefit of actively cooling the inductors and capacitors too....
    Cooling the epoxy component body is a fudge. If the epoxy (and thus any heatsink plonked on top of it) is running at 60C, the component die is way above that.....
    It's better than nothing, but only just."""

  • Few questions about apex + epg and cookie blocked by IE6

    Hi,
    I would like to ask a few questions about apex and epg.
    I have already installed and configured apex 3.2 on oracle 10g (on my localhost - computer name 'chen_rong', ip address -192.168.88.175 ), and enable anonymous access xdb http server.
    now,
    1. I can access 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' without input username / password for realm 'XDB' in IE6;
    2. I can access 'http://localhost/apex/apex_admin' , 'http://192.168.88.175/apex/apex_admin' , and I can be redirected into apex administation page after input admin/<my apex admin password> for realm 'APEX' in IE6;
    3. I can access 'http://chen_rong/apex/apex_admin' in IE6, but after input admin/password , I can not be redirected into administation page, because the cookie was blocked by IE6.
    then, the first question is :
    Q1: What is the difference among 'http://chen_rong' , 'http://localhost' , 'http://192.168.88.175' ? I have already include site 'chen_rong' into my trusted stes! why the cookie was blocked by IE6. I have already tried firefox and google browser, both of them were ok for 'chen_rong', no cookie blocked from site 'chen_rong'!
    and,
    1. I have tried to use the script in attachment to test http authentication and also want to catch the cookie by utl_http .
    2. please review the script for me.
    3. I did:
    SQL> exec show_url('http://localhost/apex/apex_admin/','ADMIN','Passw0rd');
    HTTP response status code: 401
    HTTP response reason phrase: Unauthorized
    Please supplied the required Basic authentication username/password for realm XDB for the Web page.

    my second questions is :
    Q2: After I entered into realm 'XDB', I still need went into realm'APEX'. how could I change the script show_url to accomplish these two tasks and successfully get the cookie from site.

    And as I described above, the apex site works fine for ip address , and localhost. but the cookie will be blocked by IE6, if I want to access the site by 'http://computername:port/apex/apex_admin'. This problem does not occured in firefox and google browser. Could someone give me answer?

  • Qosmio G30-161 does not boot - NTDLR' File is Missing

    Hi all,
    I have a G30-161 twin hard drive (in Raid 1) that will not boot..
    It just gives the message 'NTDLR file is missing' and is followed up with a prompt to restart the computer at which the same error will be displayed again.
    I've been given this laptop by my son to fix (lucky me :( ! )
    Things I've looked at so far:
    - Checked the BIOS to see if the drives are configured correctly - BIOS states both hard drives installed, online and in RAID 1
    - I had a Windows XP Install Disc to hand so tried to see if it would boot from a CD. It started on the CD ok but the Windows Recovery Console/Install process said it could not find any hard drives. Also found an Acronis True Image Boot Disc (uses linux I think), again the program started up fine but reported there were no Hard Drives installed.
    - So with the the no HD reports I took one out for a test. With drive 2 removed, on a boot attempt the system reports 'RAID 1 is DEGRADE' then follows with the 'NTDLR file is missing' . So this tells me the RAID SW is probably working and it knows a HD has been removed.
    All the fixes I've read about on PC forums involve using the XP Recovery CD or some but this won't work as the system thinks there are no drives when it boots. We dont' have a Toshiba recovery disc for the machine.
    Anyone seen the above problem, knows a fix?
    Can I get hold of a G30-161 Recovery CD anywhere?
    Any help appreciated. ...
    Thanks,

    I have had the same problem. I have a Qosmio G25-av513 which came with XP. I upgraded my operating system to Vista Ultimate and have everything working fine but have lost the ability to use the FN-F5 to activate a second display. After reading this user's similar problem, I tried turning my laptop off, connecting my projector and turning my laptop on again.
    The projector now works but the laptop screen will not turn on until I disconnect the projector and reboot.
    Anyway, I can live with that!

  • Qosmio G30: Conflict between Sigmatel audio driver and Vista SP1

    Hello,
    I have a Qosmio G30 PQG32E notebook and can't upgrade to Vista SP1 because the Sigmatel driver (6.10.5462.0) is conflicting with the service pack.
    As some of you might know, Sigmatel no longer exists and IDT who bought them is as good as non-existent, saying to contact the OEM directly for updated drivers.
    Is there any plan to upgrade the audio driver ?
    There are huge memory leaks in my case from the audio driver.
    When using Photoshop or Premiere Pro, the audiodg.exe proccess consumes 800MB and more after one hour of continuous work.
    I am hoping for an updated more stable driver, and more stability from SP1.
    Am I a dreamer?

    Have your problems started after SP1 installation? Just for info: at the moment Toshiba does not support SP1. I really believe that you have some troubles and because of that I still wait with SP1 installation.
    You are right about Qosmio. It costs a lot of money but using delivered recovery image installation you will not have any problem. About memory and how much resources Vista needs you can read everywhere. Even if you close some application RAM will still be occupied with different information. If you start the same application again you will see that application starts second time much faster.
    It is Vista!!!
    You have really nice notebook and you should upgrade RAM to maximum level. I am pretty the notebook will runs much better and of course faster. For such notebook 2 GB for Vista is really the minimum.

  • Design question about SNASw, DLSW and VDLC

    Hello,
    I have a question about Ethernet redundancy in an APPN environment.
    Let's have an example with 3 routers running SNASw that are on the SAME LAN (no vlans) as the Mainframe's OSA (one OSA only). APPN is configured on the Mainframe.
    Using DLSw+, all downstream PUs are connected to the 3 routers. Can I define in the VDLC interface of each router the SAME MAC address, and this MAC address be the destination MAC of the downstream PUs?

    Hi,
    yes, headend routers are the ones in front of the OSA/mainframe.
    If you replace a tokenring with ethernet in the data center/headend, than the snasw dlsw solution is almost perfect for you. If you use hpr/ip to connect upstream to the host you are all set.
    In that case you dont advertise any mac addresses on the local ethernet between the snasw/dlsw routers and the osa since it is hpr/ip. Basicaly ip routing only.
    From the clients perspective, they dont really know that there is a change since you replicate the old tokenring mac address as vdlc mac address/snasw port and the end systems still connect to them like they did before.
    In respect to dlsw ethernet redundancy we have to be a bit carefull not to mix the scenarios.
    Dlsw ethernet redundancy is designed for the branch. Not the data center.
    If you use dlsw ethernet redundancy with ethernet switches, and in almost all cases today ethernet means ethernet switches, you configure a mac address mapping between artificiall local mac addresses and your real remote mac address of the host.
    On each router you configure a unique local mac address. Than you point half of your end systems dmac to the local mac address configured on router1 and the other half to the local mac address configured on router2. That way you achive load balancing.
    The two routers exchange their mapping and in case router1 looses the connection to router2, router1 will activate the mapping it learned from router2 aswell and then take over those circuits additional.
    If you decide that you configure on router1 the local mac address equal to the remote mac address, because you have a large number of clients and can not simply change the damc's on all of them, than you need to configure a "dummy" mapping on router2 and router1 will get all the circuits in this example. router2 would be purely for redundancy in case router1 goes down.
    If you think about this than it is clear why dlsw ethernet redundancy is designed for the branch. In the branch we map local to remote mac addresses and the remote mac addresses are the hosts. Typically there are only a limited number of host mac addresses to map.
    If you turn this around and put dlsw ethernet redundancy on the host end than you have to map all clients. If you have only one or two clients this is certainly doable. But if you have a large nuber of clients this is simply not manageable.
    thanks...
