Qosmio G30 (PQG32E) - upgrade BIOS problem

I try to use this bios-20080424160754.zip downloand from notebook support but when start tell me " this compute is not support " .... same help to upgrade firmware.

You will have to execute the BIOS setup with administrator rights. This can be easily done by right-click on the setup and choosing "Run as...". There you can chose whether you execute the file as the registered user or as another (like administrator). If you set an password during the installation then you will have to type it in the following screen, if not then the setup will continue and the BIOS will be updated.
Thats everything..

  • Qosmio G30 and vga/pcb problems

    My Qosmio G30 has developed a vga/pcb problem.
    Toshiba engineers tell me the vga/pcb is corrupt and needs to be replaced but since this is built-in the whole mother board must be replaced.
    The cost for this is nearly half the cost of the original machine and much more than many new Toshiba notebooks.
    Anyone have similar problem or experience anyone have any suggestions.
    Edited by: ADMIN

    To me this clearly sounds like the problem that stroke me last weekend - obviously the NVidia GPU died and causes the trouble. Check if your machine is still under warranty - if not i would claim goodwill.
    If the repair-costs are too high for you i would sell it on Ebay and get another machine as the technology level is two years (which is a century in computer-business) and you can get better performance at a lower price-point - even if it hurts to let the G30 go.

  • MS 6567 645E MAX2 - Upgrade BIOS problem!

    Hello, (sorry for my english), after to upgrade the BIOS with version 1.2 (6567v12.exe) my computer can turn on and no display at all...
    Help me .... Tank you... 

    try to clear your cmos first =)
    if the problem persists, follow up below for a BIOS recovery
    For AMI BIOS
    Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
    Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
    When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
     For Award BIOS
    Make a bootable floopy disk
    Copy the Award flash utility & BIOS file to the said floppy disk
    Create an autoexec.bat with "Award_Flash_Utility BiosFilename" in the content (e.g. awdfl823K w6378vms.130)
    Sample on how to create an autoexec:
    a. On Windows, open the notepad
    b. On the notepad, write "awdfl823K w6378vms.130" (without the " ")
    c. Save the file as autoexec.bat
    Boot up system with the said floppy (it will take less than 2 minutes before screen comes out)
    Re-flash the BIOS & reboot.

  • Qosmio F10 - Cannot upgrade BIOS due to illegal version?

    While half of me says its not broken, so don't fix it, I am attempting to upgrade my F10 BIOS to latest version, using Windows installer method.
    The file I downloaded and extracted tells me it is an illegal BIOS version for my machine, but its the (only) one the Toshiba site provides me.
    Any ideas?

    May I ask you what BIOS version did you try?
    On the Toshiba driver page you could find the 1.20-WIN BIOS.
    I have downloaded if from the Toshiba European driver page.
    Please note that your original Toshiba OS should be installed to update the BIOS.
    But one question; why do you want to update it?
    If your notebook runs ok, you shouldnt update the BIOS. Its simply not necessary!

  • Qosmio G30-126 - start up problem with blank screen

    My laptop was running perfectly untill i suddenly found it booting with the start up sound enable but without any picture appearing on the display untill i got the windows login page at which the picture appeared with its normal perfect resolution.
    The operating system is Windows 7 which was working smoothly, with all toshiba drivers installed from more than 3 monthes and the device was normally shut down the time before the problem appeared.
    I tried using the recovery disc but the problem is that i cant see any thing! the computer is working but the display is black as if the laptop is completly turned off.
    I tried to connect another external LG LCD but it didnt give any results but only a blank screen.
    I really need help in this issue as this laptop contains all my work and i depend on it alot.

    Hi Jeka-??
    First, thanks for the reply. Second i think i can fully access the BIOS using F1 but the problem that the screen is totally black. You will ask how do you know that you entered BIOS? the answer is that it do the restart when i press the right combination of keys to save and exit i.e. After pressing F1, i press the end key which supposed to give me a message of save and exit and i press Y so the laptop restarts.
    Third, are you sure that this is a defected GPU card? as if there are any possibilities to try before sending the computer to Toshiba service center, i'll be glad to them on my own.
    By the way the graphic card works perfectly when the computer log on the windows even with games i.e. the monitor starts to display picture starting from the choosing profile page of windows. The original recovery disk is VISTA Ultimate and i'd like to restore it back instead of the installed windows 7 as a trial but unfortunately i cant see the process as i have to enter some data to continue installation and i cant remeber them to do it blind.
    Do you know a method to reinstall the bios update again? as when i try to install it through windows 7 it keeps saying " [Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed "

  • Qosmio G30 - system problem after recovery procedure

    I have Qosmio G30 - 148 which have Windows XP MCE, when trying to download some programs system crashed and make automatic restart.
    I then used a RECOVERY CD to recover my all system and followed the instructions on the CD but when finished and rebooting the system a famous blue screen displayed tell me there's a problem in my system and windows must be restarted.
    When reboot in safe mode there is a message tell me that the system is not fully installed. Please run setup again.
    Could any body help me in that problem because it's a strange problem?
    Note: I tried to install Windows XP from external CD but system did not know the hard disk.

    Hi Ahmed
    I would try to provide some useful hints;
    First of all you can install the XP Pro on the Qosmio G30 this is no problem.
    I assume you couldnt install the XP on the G30 because your have not installed the RAID driver firstly. As far as I know the XP would not recognize the HDD without the RAID driver.
    The RAID driver installation is not very difficult. During the XP Setup procedure you have to press the F6 to include the driver from the external USB FDD drive.
    If you dont have a USB diskette drive, then you could use a nLite to create a new XP CD with the RAID driver.
    However despite everything Im not sure if this will help.
    There could be really a hardware issue with your G30.

  • 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.

  • Qosmio G30 - black screen on external monitor

    Qosmio G30 (PQG32E) running Vista Home Premium, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 driver, 7.15.10.9813
    I cannot get a picture on an external monitor (tried two different monitors). Specifically:
    'Windows Mobility Center' will recognise that a monitor is connected
    'NVIDIA Control Panel - Change Display Configuration' will recognise the external monitor ('Select the displays you would like to use' shows 'Laptop Display + Sony SDM-HS73', which is the plugged-in ext monitor)
    but no matter what configuration I try, using Fn+F5 or Change Display Configuration, I cannot get anything but a (backlit) black screen on the external monitor.
    The monitor is receiving a video signal correctly: when turned off under a laptop-only Fn+F5 setting, it shows a 'no signal' warning, but when turned on again I just get black.
    I have tried changing resolution settings for the external monitor. They exactly match the monitor's native resolution. Still nothing.
    Tried 'Clone' mode and 'Dual View' mode.
    Tried various different orders of switching the laptop and monitor on, plugging and unplugging, etc.
    Have installed latest driver from this Toshiba site (as above). Have NOT tried installing any other driver from the NVIDIA site, since it warns to use Toshiba's - but is that worth a try?
    The laptop's own screen and all other aspects of video are fine.
    It has worked ok in the past (I think before I did the upgrade to Vista, when it was still on XP).
    Do I just wait for another driver update from Toshiba, and perhaps Vista SP1?
    I'm really hoping this is not a hardware issue, since the monitor is recognised etc....
    Jonathan

    What port did you use?
    The external monitor (analog) port or the D-video out port?
    As far as I know if you have used the external monitor (analog) port then you should choose the Analog display in the nVidia -> current display
    Then you could use the button FN+F5 to switch between the both displays.

    Version 1.20
    DMI Version 2.3
    BIOS date 01/21/06

    Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
    Many thanks
    The BIOS update I am trying to run is V3.2.9 (P0038v390.exe)
    When I run the files the update says that "This computer is not supported".
    Many thanks

    PauPau, many thanks for your help - absolutely spot on
    Still not sure how that module was uninstalled as it was a factory install of XP MCE!
    However, BIOS updated successfullky after download and install of Toshiba Common Module 6.04.00

  • Re: Qosmio G30 - RAID Problems on OS Installation

    I've had my Qosmio G30-161 for half a year, and thought it'd ought to be time to reinstall the whole thing, so i could get rid of stuff i didn't need (Programs, Viruses and non-interesting video clips).
    So i took my XP MCE Cd and tried to install, and i got guided through and come to the place where i needed to choose between 1st Unknown, 2nd Stripping, and 3rd Mirroring. I choose the stripping as i wished my harddrives to be in one. Then when i pressed "next" it gave me the error message "1005 - HDD not ready?"
    I've tried going into the BIOS and chaneg the setting to different settings that Toshiba told me to, but it also warned me that if i changed the settings my OS would have to be reinstalled. No problem there. But i still get the same error message "HDD not ready?". So now i have to use another computer than my own to check the forums and mail etc.
    Anyone know what i should do? I'll be glad with anything as long as i can have both my harddrives (60GB+60GB), and a working OS. :)
    Please help, I'm urging for it, since the computer is the one i use for my school work. Feel free to ask questions about system stuff. If you have an answer, please let it be simple, since i realy don't wanna mess up again ^_^

    Please check the details in user manual about the RAID installation.
    Usually if you are using the clean Windows XP disk then you will have to include the RAID drivers firstly.
    Without preinstalled RAID drivers the HDD will be not recognized and you will be not able to install the OS!

  • Qosmio G30 installation problem

    Hello all guys
    I have a huge problem
    I have a Qosmio G30, recently recurrence, or used the disk, format it, confg. RAID, it will restart the formatting begins, ends restarts, and the problem here.
    At the restart should take at the end of installation, which does not occur because the video driver crashes (nv4_disp). So every time I turn on the PC are always half installation.
    I ask for help! And while we're at whatever you enter the BIOS of the Toshiba Qosmio G30!
    Thanks

    The problem only manifests itself when I try to install the os with the CD provided ... just read it that sends me to the main menu screen of the installation screen starts to fill up with lines and dots ...
    while trying to install Win 7 with another cd, the problem manifests itself most nn, the screen is perfect ... but another problem arises, the installation nn part not because I need the driver disk in particular ....
    I have two hard drives FUJITSU MHV2200BT PL from 200 gb each ... I tried to do several searches to find sti driver cursed but I find them ... I nn open pages that describe them to me and give me a link that makes me download a program Driver Genius Professional Edition, who sincerely nn I need to anything ...

  • 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 PQG31E - No XP 32 drivers? Can't update BIOS?

    As usual, got a laptop but no recovery CD's :(
    Got XP 32 installed (my Microsoft contract doesn't provide MCE) but lots of drivers missing. Toshiba driver page only has all drivers for XP MCE, XP 32 only has BIOS update, Bluetooth, HD-DVD firmwares, virtual sound and WI-FI drivers!
    So I tought "Vista on it", but as I checked compatibility within XP with Vista DVD I got a "need to update BIOS" (still has 1.40 - 2006/03/10)!
    My problem is that BIOS update always returns "This computer is not supported"! Laptop only has one account, so it's not permissions issue, maybe because lots of drivers are missing? Should I update BIOS in safe mode?
    What now? Am I stuck with a Qosmio brick? Without LAN controllers to say the least I can't get nothing done! Will XP MCE drivers work on XP 32?
    Any thoughts?

    Friend of mine has Qosmio g30-189 (PQG31E) and WLAn card is Intel.
    THIS must be the right driver.
    Have you tried to install it in the past?
