Qosmio G30-194 support the sata2?

Hi All,
I have a Qosmio G30-194 laptop.I would like to buy a Intel ssd,but for the ssd need SATA 2 support.Because just SATA 300 when the ssd works the right speed.I mean 250Mb/s read.The SATA 1 only works max.150MB/s.So my questions is my laptop support SATA2?
Thank you for help.

Hi
As far as I know the Qosmio G30-194 HDD controller supports simple SATA (150mbps).
I dont know what specification does the SSD needs but for example the SATA2 HDDs can be used because the SATA is down compatible.
However, if the SSD needs the SATA2 (300mbps) controller then there could be an issue

  • Qosmio G30-194 What type of Vista (Home, Business or Ultimate)?

    I have two Qosmio G30. One at work (G30-153) and one at home (G30-194). I use both for working and also to play movies, games, etc. At work I use a domain. Please advise me about what version of Vista is better to use. I prefer to have the same version in both places.

    Hi Marius
    On the Microsoft page you will find a difference between Vista Home, Business or Ultimate.
    The ultimate is the highest version which includes all Vista applications. But this version cost about 550-600$
    For me its a question of cost what version I will use

  • Re: Qosmio G30-129 supports 8GB RAM?

    Hi,
    I have a Qosmio G30-219, will this support the 2 x 4 GB - SO DIMM 200-pin - DDR2 (667 MHz)?
    The reason I ask is that the tech.spec. states max 4 Gig RAM and 533 MHz, I just wondered if it would work :-) (since the spec. probably was written long time before the 4GB RAM chips were available).

    Hi!
    Two Memory modules can be installed to provide a maximum of 4GB.
    So 8GB are not possible on this notebook.

  • Qosmio G30 - Question about the Raid driver

    Do i actually need this driver to use RAID? If its set in BIOS, what does the driver actually do? apart from give you health stats?
    Cheers

    Yes, you need the RAID driver.
    I think The Qosmio G30 was designed with the RAID feature like some G20 units.
    Without this RAID driver you will be not able to install the OS because the OS setup cannot recognize the HDD.
    The RAID uses two options:
    RAID-0 (Striping): two HDDs are used as one big drive, if one HDD fails all data is lost
    RAID-1 (Mirroring): both HDDs contain the same data, if one drive fails data is not lost
    I think you could check this posting and additionally use the forum advanced search for more results about RAID.

    In the user manual you will also find many info about RAID

  • Qosmio G30-194: No sound when watching TV

    I have an G30-194. Tv-tuner finds the TV programs from my area but they have no souns at all. It's select the country ROMANIA, also the corect system Pal/Secam but no result. Can anyone know what it's the problem.
    Thx a lot.

    Hi
    Can you hear the sound when playing music from CD or mp3 files?
    If the sound is coming from the speakers during listening to the music, its not a sound card problem. In such case in my opinion the wrong settings are responsible for this issue.
    You have several options with PAL/Secam settings. I think you should check what settings are available in the Romania.
    I received some information about the TV tuner driver update. Please check the version on your notebook and maybe you need to update the TV tuner driver.

  • Qosmio G30: Cannot chang the DVD region settings

    I have a G30 and appear to have reset the dvd region using Qosmio rather than Windows MC.
    When I try to reset the dvd region (back to region 2) Windows MC says there is one change remaining but then does not let me change, advising me that I have the incorrect region media in the drive (I don't)or I do not have administrator rights (I do).

    Where did you check the drive region settings?
    Did you check it in the drive properties or somewhere else?
    In my opinion you have already used all region change attempts and the changing is no more possible.

  • Qosmio G30 - lines on the screen and blue background

    Hi
    Im having a great deal of problem with this laptop...
    Having purchased it some time ago its been working fine but out of the blue its given up on me...
    I switch on the laptop and when the Qosmio logo comes up its all with lines in it and instead of the background being black it is blue.... after that funny characters start appearing on the screen and then the Windows Xp logo appears still a bit fuzzy a blue screen comes up with some error it flashes so quick you cannot read it and the laptop restarts itself....
    I have tried reformatting it but the same problem occurs. help!
    cheers

    Hi
    I meant the OS which was preinstalled from beginning.
    All or most Toshiba notebooks are already preinstalled with an OS.
    The newest series are preinstalled with Vista.
    Anyway your issue looks a little bit like an GPU (graphic card) malfunction and possibly it would be advisable to check the notebook by an authorized service provider in your country

  • Qosmio G30-116: How to connect the Sky Digital box to watch TV?

    I just recently purchased the Qosmio G30-116 on the understanding that I can connect my Sky digital to the laptop (somehow) and watch and record sky on the laptop
    * note: I am not using freeview or normal TV I am using SKY DIGITAL *
    usint the supplied converter cable to connect to the video-in on the laptop (video in is like a headfone jack and the converter converts from this to female RCA)
    I have plugged it into the laptop then connect a 3 RCA to SCART to it and then into the sky box, when setting up the TV section in Windows Media Centre I follow the instructions until it gets to the point where it scans for a signal, (previous to that I get asked what kind of signal I receive, I select digital but have tried all combinations,) but it doesn't find a signal.
    Now I have been told that Windows Media Centre does not support Analogue input and that the connection between the sky box and the laptop is analogue.
    Is this correct or not? then, while typing this I have been told by someone else that my laptop is not capable of receiveing SKY DIGITAl as it can't decode it or something. Is this also correct? If not, what am I doing wrong and can anyone help me get this going? And have I been going about this the right way or am I totally up the wrong path if laptop is capable of it?

    To start qosmio player
    1.switch off computer using on/off blue lit on/off button to close windows operation.
    2.make sure that the computer/windows is switch off
    3.Now Touch the TV icon (Blue lit button)only or the DVD player ICOn (blue lit button)only. WITHOUT USING THE USUAL ON/OFF SWITCH
    4.The qosmio player/engine will switch on instantly without booting windows.
    5.TV will launch within 8 seconds and the same for DVD player
    6.Pres F1 or F2 for further functions such as screen size,audio,forward.rewind.pause scanning the TV channnels (auto or manual)
    7.You can do the same i.e open the qosmio player/TV with the supplied Toshiba/qosmio remote pressing the Live TV button ONLY for instant TV on or DVD menu ONLY for instant DVD player/CD player on WITHOUT USING THE ON/OFF SWITCH ON THE REMOTE.That is very much similar to a standard TV remote just press the TV or dvd menu .
    8.If you touch the same icon buttons i.e TV and dvd player during the standard computer usage /windows operating system,IT WILL LAUNCH THE MEDIA CENTER BY DEFAULT.that's what happen to you!
    I use the remote from my bed before going to sleep and the same from bed to watch early morning TV news
    Qosmio is excellent for the versatility!
    Enjoy

  • Which HDD is the right one for Qosmio G30

    Hi every one
    I have a Qosmio G30-161. The recovery discs are interrupted by a blue screen and windows cannot be installed!
    I tried installing a retail windows xp but did not recognize the hard disk!
    I am almost convinced that the problem in the hard disc - the laptop has2-60G each!
    The question is: what is the right hard disk that will fit the laptop!
    In the specifications there were written S.M.A.R.T !!
    What is that mean?

    Hi buddy,
    You can order such HDDs from an authorized service provider in your country. Did you already ask the guys if they can order a new HDD for you?
    Qosmio G30 supports already HDDs with SATA interface so you can also buy HDDs with larger capacity. If you search for a new HDD, its only important that it has SATA interface and 2.5 form factor.

  • Qosmio G30-189 BIOS Update to support Intel Core 2 Duo ( MEROM )

    Hello !
    Can you tell when Toshiba will release a BIOS Update to support the new intel core 2 duo mobile cpu.
    The actual BIOS 1.4 does not recognize the new cpu type.
    As Toshiba delivers a core 2 duo based qosmio in USA G35-650 a bios should be availble.
    For sure I now that this makes the gurantee go away.
    Please help.
    Greetings
    Marcus Reichert

    Hmm, yes sure - i work in IT and I think I repaired 5000 notebooks ... I am certainly not mad at you !
    I am happy that anyone answeres me ....
    So, I have here an Qosmio G30-145 and the G30-189 - they are absolutely identical.
    Only the Video Ram is smaller and a different CPU is inserted.
    In the US there is the G35-650 - also nearly the same - and this uses a creo 2 duo.
    Be sure Toshiba will not build different units - they just change the name and include some minor changes to config ( pal and ntsc etc. )
    You will be sure to see a G30 with Core 2 Duo very soon here in europe or germany and then bang - it will be the same hardware with a different bios - I BET !!!
    Yes, I know the power Saving Tool and I agree with you in all points.
    BUT windows XP, Linux and Vista do also habe power schemes and controll the fans - the Toshiba tolls adds only more features.
    I think the actual bios accepts now the core 2 duo, but still has problems with the power scheme - Intel says the CPUs are nearly comaptible.
    I have tested Core 2 Duos, Asus and other - no problem at all.
    I think if we wait we get a bios which fixes all, problem is I need it know.
    Have a nice weekend

  • Qosmio G30 - Media center remote control doesn't work in windows

    Dear All,
    I have Qosmio G30-194,
    first i had a problem with the VGA , i send it for repair, when it comes back i noticed that the remote control is not working on windows Media Center, while in A/V mode it work perfectly.
    I tried to do full system restore from the recovery DVD, but nothing changed, even i installed Windows Vista with all of its drivers.
    Nothing changed also, I borrowed a USB IR received for another remote control it worked perfectly with my remote on windows.
    Please advise me what to do, do i send it back to the service center , or there is an easier solution.
    Mazen Habbal
    N.B, : My laptop info are:
    Model Number PQG32E-01P018AR
    Thank you in advance

    don't expect toshiba to fix problems like this.
    they replaced motherboard on my laptop and ever since the remote was not working.. it would turn the laptop on but was unresponsive thereafter. thing's we have tried:
    - install software and drivers for remote again
    - reinstall windows
    - replace reciever
    - change motherboard
    - change remote
    - terminate and restart relevant processes
    - downgrade bios
    - update bios
    - combinations of the above
    on several occassions Toshiba told me they were able to replicate and solve the problem but after trying it on my laptop they remembered that actually their one was slightly different.
    almost a year later, i still have a non-working remote
    my theory is the laptop leaves factory with certain software which Toshiba fail to include in recovery partition and\or bios that is available through them... so once you lose the factory components (i.e.the original motherboard) you also lose some necessary files with them.

  • Re: How to upgrade memory on Qosmio G30-201 and where to buy memory

    Hi,
    I have a Qosmio G30-201, with the following spec:
    - Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology featuring Intel Core2 Duo Processor T7400- Genuine Windows XP Media Center Edition- 400 (200 + 200) GB Hard Disk Drive- 2,048 (1,024+1,024) MB DDR2 RAM (533 MHz)- 17" Toshiba TruBrite WUXGA TFT display- HD DVD-ROM drive
    Running under Vista Ultimate
    I would like to upgrade the memory to 4096.
    Do I have to buy 4096 of memory, or can I add 2048?
    What memory do i buy? Toshiba do not seem to sell MB DDR2 RAM (533 MHz) after 4 years. What other memory would be suitable?
    Many thanks,
    Best regards
    Nick

    Your notebook can handle with 4GB of RAM and I recommend you to use 2 x 2GB module.
    Compatible 2 GB module has part number PA3513U-1M2G or Kingston KTT667D2/2G.
    Put the part umber in Google and you will find a place where you can order it in your country.

  • How to open Toshiba Enhance Picture Utility on Qosmio G30-163

    How to open Toshiba Enhance Picture Utility.Thanks

    Hi
    As far as I know the Toshiba Picture Enhancement Utility was preinstalled on some Qosmio G series units which were delivered with the Windows XP Media Center Edition.
    I didnt find the Picture Enhancement Utility for Qosmio G30 PQG31E on the Toshiba driver page therefore I think this tool was not installed on this notebook.
    Ps: I found the Picture Enhancement Utility for Qosmio G20 PQG21. Its a 3.3.0.0 version.

  • Qosmio G30-162 - How to handle dead battery?

    I only use my Qosmio G30 connected to the mains. The battery is now exhausted and thus I have lost use of the computer. Do I have to replace the battery or is there any method of converting the PC for mains-only use? Any advice appreciated.. Elderly user.

    Hi,
    No, in such case you cant repair the battery and you need a replacement battery because battery is not repairable.
    >or is there any method of converting the PC for mains-only use?
    Hmm I dont know what you mean but you dont need a battery. You can also use the notebook with AC/DC adapter only. Thats no problem. :)
