Qosmio G30-176: TV tunner issue - blurred without any sounds

I from the seychelles and we use a Pal System similar to that in the UK, but I cannot tune the TV Tuner.
It always comes out blurred without any sounds.
Can somebody please help?

Hi
As far as I know the TV Tuner is specific to the country in which the notebook is purchased.
This is obvious in the case of PAL (European standard) versus NTSC (North American standard) but also relates to variances in the PAL standard that can be found across those countries that use this for their television broadcasts.
The Microsoft Windows Media Centre Edition operating system is only setup for use within the country in which the notebook was purchased.
This setup relates to functions such as obtaining the Electronic Programme Guide via the Internet.
Possibly the PAL system is simialr to the UK one but it's NOT the same.
This cold be a reason for the blurred TV channels without sound.

  • After updating to 12.1.2.27, songs play, but without any sound output to internal iMac speakers

    So i updated to 12.1.2.27 and songs 'play', but without any sound output. Checked my audio settings and had it at Internal speakers. Checked the speakers (they work, at least for YouTube vids), restarted machine, etc and no audio output from iTunes. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance

    Try unchecking Sound Enhancer and Sound Check in your Preferences under Playback
    Sound check may have reduced everything to a low output level inadvertently.

    Looks like there might be a little circular door on the back that you screw off to get access to the button battery

    Dear friends
    I thing is interesting for any owner of Qosmio to have a look this:

    My Qosmio G30 is already death I have got a estimate from official service, to repair my qosmio cost almost 600 pounds. Is a design fault. Look on internet.

    Sorry for it. I bought the Qosmio in July 2007. I contacted not seller but direct authorized service of Czech Toshiba in Brno (we have others two in Prague and Hradec Kralove). In Brno they told me "it is normal". I has also trouble with display, it came scratchy from keyboard after a while (before I used the Dell XPS and not trouble as this at all, only there replaced for the start fens, twice graphic card, chipset, twice motherboard, once grr my English, the box which is on power line :) and they decided that this piece have some troubles so gave me money back. I bought this Qosmio because I read some review where it was mentioned as great machine. Hm, but it surprised me that they told me that only with Vista it can be sell. I tell you this time Vista just started and some blinking screen surprised them. At last they told "it is normal" again. They told me to the strips over my jobs and collapsing program (Photoshop) that it was not sell with this notebook so not warranty with this. When I asked them what about a game program which will not run on this notebook if it is normal, they told yes, not warranty. When I asked them where is on NVidia driver for Vista that it is strange that still not there, they told me use the new Toshiba driver. I told them I used and it is not working very well. At last they told that in original configuration (it means with the original old driver) it was working very well. I told yes, till this moment when it was totaly empty and you have been surfing on the web or doing nothing. Also programms as Windows Media Center was not working at all.. they told upgrade will be soon... At winter 2008 came first time driver from NVidia on the web for Vista. It select it automaticaly, if it overwrite my original drive GeForce Go 7600 to 7650 it was working much better that the Toshiba one. But still collapsing windows after a while, windows which has inside black or window from program which was open under it or only desktop. It got overheat always. Everything with my jobs last to long. I was seating and watching processing, windows over windows, strips over it.
    The last summer they did diagnostic for it and found nothing wrong. It was August 2008. I contacted also one of high managers of Czech Toshiba. He wrote me that I have to change service station. But I was 3 days before half year trip overseas. In September came this issue from Toshiba about replacement and troubles with cards.
    See links where the trouble is. The graphic card has troubles in all computers everywhere, not only in Qosmio. I think Toshiba did also mistake with Vista on this notebook. I am sure with XP it should work much better

    http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9106 398
    The two mens in Brno CHG Toshiba (service) I know personaly. Also the manager has private contact to me. Nobody wrote: Hana come back!
    I pay fot this notebook over 80.000 CZK. In this time it was approx. over 3.000 Euro. I am working with photographs and truly this slow machine was for over 2 years big break for me!
    I like to be fair and never will wrote what is not true. To display: serie G40 have much stronger frame. Anyone can tell me why? They argue that I am puting something heavy on it. Maximum my glases which I am using not very offen. If you take sides of this notebook, or if you put something under one of stands, it is flexible. They told me you have to use something between keyboard and display. Well, I should but trouble is that when I bought it was not included, nowhere in manual it is mentioned. My last notebooks were without trouble as this as well (both 17").
    I was not only one not happy customer http://www.asklaptopfreak.com/laptop-notebook-help/2007/07/08/toshiba-qosmio-g30-screen-problem/comment-page-1/#comments
    to this all. I am using laptop every day and at service they told me that I have replace everything an put everything in original so they will check if it is working. I have not time to do everything, backup and after it installing all back! Truly if somebody used not correct components why customer have to be in so big troubles?
    I asked specialist for report. I told him about my troubles and his answer was that he did one return the last year. The display have on sides holes and via this is going in to the display dirt (have all ready this there also). I will claim money return and payment of the expert when I came from my business trip. I hope I will be able to buy another laptop at first so I can continue my job without delay.
    Sorry for so long writing and for my not best English. Sorry that I have to write it at all. Be sure I will prefere to be happy customer!
    Regards, Hana

  • Qosmio G30-137 - Video card issue - the vertical lines bug

    Hi members,
    today my Qosmio G30-137 started making troubles showing vertical lines which look like this:
    After using product recovery disk Windows was unable to initiate first start and came up with a bluescreen with the error-code:
    +page fault in non-paged area STOP 0x00000050 (0xC09C3044, 0x00000000, 0X804DA90AA, 0X000000002)+
    This basically indicates that memory - either RAM, L2-Cache or Videomemory died. But i also learned that the graphic card can be smoked.
    After the blue screen you wont get the system into normal working condition, no matter what you try.
    I would strongly advise to check if your Qosmio is under warranty and see your dealer for exchange. Fortunately i bought mine 2006/06/06 so its still under warranty (even if just a view days left).
    Additional information: another member of this forum had a similar problem and reported that the whole motherboard has to be changed which causes cost of USD 700.00 and up!
    I will let you know what i ended up with.
    BRgds
    The Q

    Unfortunately, this sounds like a serious hardware issue as the other member suggested, the GPU (graphic card) could be faulty and therefore the replacement is necessary.
    The point is that the GPU is soldered on the motherboard and its not possible to remove the graphic chip from the board. In most cases the whole motherboard must be replaced to solve such graphic problems.
    In my opinion you should contact your ASP as fast as possible.
    The technicians should be able to help you explain the whole situation and you issue and ask for the further handling.
    Good luck buddy

  • Itunes plays songs but without any sound

    Hey folks, I am having a problem with sound. I am running a Windows 64-bit Vista on a HP desktop. I contacted Apple and they suggested uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes and it didn't work. All the songs and videos will play in my Itunes but there is no sound. I have downloaded the newest version of Itunes. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I'm just going to give you a quick how to... so here it goes.
    1. Back up all your songs into a folder on your computer.
    2. Install iTunes 7 www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and all relevant updates.
    3. Once that is done, use the backup/format install tool inside iTunes 7, comes up when you connect the iPod.
    4. Then add items to your library again, and transfer them to the iPod.
    Basically reformatting the iPod shoudl work. Make sure the the songs definatly play in iTunes and dont skip. You could find that the iPod has disk errors.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Some videos import without any sound!

    Hi there, I bought my iPod Video the other day, and when I choose the option to "Covert selection for iPod" when I right click on the video, it converts the video, and when I select it to listen to it the video plays but no sound comes out. This isn't with every video though, plenty of my videos work but plenty also don't.
    Any ideas? Thank you.

    The camera is a Kodak Easyshare DX 7440....most all are Quicktime Movie formats.
    I believe this digital camera stores video files as MPEG4/µ-lAW 2:1 files in an MOV file container. Original iMovie '08 did not like the µ-Law audio and would not import it but I thought later application upgrades took care of than. As an experiment, filnd a file that will not open and run it through QT Pro or GarageBand exporting to the "Movie to MPEG-4" to an MP4 file container using video "pass through" and converting the audio to AAC ant streaming off. If the file then imports, then the audio compression may again be problematic.

  • Why does the iPhone 4 alarm go off without any sound if sound is turned on.

    Every once in a while the alarm ( original iPhone alarm) goes off, but makes no noise.  Why is this and how can I fix it? Being late to work isn't okay even if it's only every once in a while. Yes, I've checked the silent switch, yes I've checked the speaker volume.  No, I didn't turn off the alarm in my sleep because it is still on the screen when I wake up, saying, " ok" or "cancel" I think. That's how I know it's working, just not making sound. I've even set two alarms and I don't hear either one, but they're both on the screen when I wake up, but there's no sound.  It's not even vibrating.

    What user troubleshooting have you done? They are restart, reset, restore from a backup, restore as a new device or not from a backup. Restart is power phone off/on, Reset is to use the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. One of those should put you back in business.

  • Conversion tool BO XI3 crashed with certain files without any reason

    Dear all,
    While using the conversion tool BO XI 3 to convert reports from deski to webi, I am facing some issue.
    Without any reason, any warning and any explanations afterwards, the conversion tool just close.
    And i dot not know why and how I can resolve this.
    It only happens to some of my reports.
    I opened them under BO XI 3 deski to have a look but they are working fine.
    Did anyone had this kind of problem ?
    Thank you,
    Audrey

    Yes indeed, but I have another issue (I posted another subject here) as for BO XI 3 deski:
    http://scn.sap.com/thread/3591504
    I can not open the deski files with problems because the folder is empty when trying to import from the CMS. It is like there are no documents at all whereas when I open the conversion tool they are all here (around 250).
    It is strange because as for Webi 3 I can access to CMS and import documents without any problems.

  • Qosmio G30: How to add the RAID driver without a floppy drive?

    I am going to set win xp tomorrow, as far as i remember i will be promted to insert a floppy with additional RAID/SCSI drivers - i guess i need to supply some drivers for XP to see my RAID stripe.
    I was able to download 'raid-drv-qog20-xp-1380.zip' but i am afraid to look if my laptop has a floppy drive... How do i add the drivers without a floppy drive?

    Hi
    Maybe stupid comment but if you can buy Qosmio G30 I presume you can also obtain one used floppy. I have done this few times with Vista and Qosmio G30 and it works well.
    Check eBay. You will get used floppy drive for few euros. Otherway try to create CD and if the RAID drive is needed browse to ODD, I didnt try it because I have FDD but you can test it on your Qosmio.

  • Few issues with Qosmio G30-179 - remote and TV

    Hello, (I'm French and my English is bad)
    I have a Qosmio G30-179 and I can't use my remote when the computer is power on. But I can use the remote for turn power on my computer and I can use it when I use the TV or Media buttons (at the right of the power button.)
    Other problem: I don't receive anything when I seek a TV signal on Media player. Even if I'm in a place where I've already receive all TV channels. Maybe there are others problems undetected...
    All these functions have already worked and I realized they don't work little time ago. But I didn't use them for a long time ago, since I received my computer when it returned guarantee (I send it because it had a problem at RAM bars.)
    Then I think there was a problem with the support service. But I'm not sure.
    What do you think about it? Must I call them?
    Or this problem can be resolve easily?
    Thank you in advance.

    > All these functions have already worked and I
    > realized they don't work little time ago. But I
    > didn't use them for a long time ago,
    If all those functions are worked before I recommend you to use delivered recovery DVD and install OS again. After doing this your notebook will have factory settings again and, I hope, everything should work again as before.
    Try it!

  • Qosmio G30 freezes upon Norton Internet Security 2008 startup

    Norton Internet Security 2008 will freeze my computer as soon it tries to load and the only way to go on is to restart the system by pressing the on/off-button.
    My notebook is a Toshiba Qosmio G30-177 (Model No. PQG32E-02G022GR) with Vista Ultimate and NIS2007 pre-installed. I have no problems with this NIS2008 version on my other notebook (Qosmio F10 - PQF10E-02300JGR, WinXP MCE).
    NIS2007 runs fine on my G30 and I do not have any problems at all, but newer versions of NIS seem to get in conflict with my system:
    1. I am able to install and run the new version, download all updates and adjust the settings. Maybe one or two days later my computer will freeze after start exactly when the tray icon of NIS appears. For a couple of seconds there is just no response of the system at all and the LED's of my notebook show that all HD activity has stopped. After being idle for these couple of seconds, the cooling fan will start to operate at maximum power, creating a tremendous noise I never experienced before, not even while the CPU was running at 100% for some time due to other programs. Forcing a restart is all I can do.
    2. Now this time, I successfully restarted my notebook again (took some attempts) and it suddenly did not freeze. Then I disabled firewall and auto-protect permanently, so there was no freezing upon startup and I just had to manually activate both firewall and auto-protect after start. In order to prevent freezing again after reboot, I always disabled NIS before shutdown. For the next one or two days this workaround was quite successful.
    3. All of a sudden, after one or two days, this workaround is going to become useless, because the system starts to freeze again at the very moment the tray icon appears. In this case, restarting has no effect at all, and NIS will continue to freeze at startup. I also tried to prevent NIS form starting by no longer allowing ccApp.exe to automatically run upon start (administrative tools > system configuration > "startup" tab). This is successful and my notebook is able to start normally, but if I later try to start NIS manually, it will freeze again.
    I had this problem since NIS2008 was just released, so I thought that meanwhile a Windows or Norton update might have fixed the issue, but this weekend I gave NIS2008 another try without success. I am almost sure that the problem is not caused by any other software than Windows and/or Norton, because I also tried to install NIS after a full system recovery, thus having only pre-installed NIS2007 and Vista on my notebook. I did use the Norton removal tool and followed the deinstall instructions before trying to install the newer version of course.
    My last hope was that the NIS2009beta version somehow would not freeze my system, but it does. It does not matter if I try to run 2008 or 2009beta version, the problem is exactly the same.
    What really drives me almost crazy is the fact that NIS runs perfectly for some time, then needs a rather small workaround, and then after some time totally refuses to work. In these couple of days I did not change any system settings, install or deinstall any programs or did anything that I felt could conflict with NIS...
    So far, I have no idea of a solution and have to use NIS2007 again.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

    Hi !
    I use NIS since 2001 and never had any serious trouble with this software.
    There could be some compatibility problem, but I don't think that Vista is causing it, because otherwise a lot more people should have the same problem. Even the installation of all current Windows, NIS and Qosmio updates did not solve it. Of course I tried to get help using Symantec's Support and their user forums, but without success. This problem seems to be a rare one (unfortunately for me). I tested the NIS2009beta and even though it's a new version, the PC freezes again when this program starts. And this made me think that maybe a service or setup by Toshiba causes the problem and other Vista users are not affected. It's a strange thing that the pre-installed NIS2007 version is running fine...
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • Qosmio G30-126 monitor become black and FN buttons don't work

    Hi Martin
    First of all its interesting if you have downloaded and installed all Toshiba Vista drivers which are released on the Toshiba European driver page?
    All drivers must be installed in the right order!
    If I'm not mistaken the Qosmio G30-126 belongs to the PQG32E series. It was delivered with HD DVD drive and therefore you should choose the drivers for Qosmio G30 HD DVD (PQG32E)!!!
    Please check firstly the Installation Instructions txt file and then install all drivers like mentioned in this document.
    Regarding the display issue;
    You should install the right NVIDIA driver from the Toshiba page!!
    The FN keys and control buttons dont work because the Toshiba Vista Value Added Package was not installed. This package contains different applications which are necessary to get all Toshiba functions running!
    Good luck
