Qosmio G50 - low brightness working on battery

When I am working on battery without ac power the brigtness on screnn is to low.
How can increase it and work as on ac power?

Hello Athan
In my opinion there is no sense to discuss about it anymore. You must ask for opinion someone who can have the notebook in front of him to see what you are talking about.
I don't want to repeat what the guys above already wrote but it must be because of some wrong setting.
The fact is that when Vista starts, it loads your favourite power plan and set the display brightness defined in this profile.

Would Qosmio G50 overheat while working with closed lid?

If I work with the lid closed (i.e. switch on with the remote control) so that I just use two external monitors, will the G50 overheat or like other dockable laptops it's quite happy working like this?
Anybody know?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Why should the Qosmio overheat?
I mean I dont see any connection between overeating and closed or opened lid
The cooling ventilators are placed at the bottom of the unit and the air blow out from the notebooks side so its not matter if the lid has been closed or not
The notebook should not overheat
Bye

Qosmio G50 - SM Bus Controller is not working

Hi,
The SM Bus Controller doesn't seem tpo be working and I can't identify where to get the drivers to load. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Nigel

Hi
I think you need the *Card Reader Controller driver.*
The drivers can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
The Qosmio G50 is an older series therefore you have to choose Archive in Product Type (first option of driver download form).

Qosmio G50-12Q - Screen saver doesnt work if I use wireless mouse

I have a Toshiba Qosmio G50-12Q
If you use a wireless mouse does not work the screen saver.
If I disable the mouse instead of the screen saver runs regularly.
There is some way to run the screen saver also using a wireless mouse?
Tank you

> The screen saver is one program downloaded from internet.
Well, in such case it can be a software bug too.
To be honest I dont see any connection to Toshiba here it seems to be an 3rd party software which does not start up when WLan mouse in connected maybe the screen saver developer could provide more details here

Qosmio G50 802.11n activated but didn't work correctly

Hi
I get a new Qosmio G50 on christmas and now I have a little problem. I use a D-link draft-N access point and I want to use the 802.11n mode with my qosmio. But I have some problems with it. I activated the 802.11n mode in the device manager and channelbandwidth band 2.4 & 5.2 are both set on "auto"!! But I dont get the 300mbps, 60mbps is the most what I get. My father has a notebook from an other manufacture with also a 802.11n wireless card but not from Intel and with the other notebook I get the 300mbps! I can put the notebooks together in the same room, the other get 300mbps the qosmio fluctuates from 1 to 81mbps or so.
Do anybody know whats going wrong or do I have to change something at the device manager?? I heard that many other intel wifi 5100 owners also dont get the 300mbps speed.
can anybody help me??
greetz

Have you tried turning off 802.11g/b/a modes by setting it to "802.11n Only"?
Go to the Wireless LAN device settings in Device Manager to change these settings.
Remember that 300Mpbs is the signal speed. Actual data transfer speed (minus the overhead) is less than 100Mbps

Qosmio G50-10h - strange display issues

My Qosmio G50 was running less brightly for a few months, then experienced intermittent fault whereby Qosmio logo would show on the screen, then the windows logo for a split second, then the screen would black-out completely. Restarting or hitting function f5 might resolve the situation. Now the problem has become permanent. I cannot get the screen working other than to show the qosmio logo, then a bit of the windows start up, then black-out.
I have been through the maintenance manual and options are Inverter? Screen? fluoro? System board? That is the question... Without all the spares, it's difficult to determine what is the cause... I Have an inverter on order but they have sent two wrong parts and when the right one does eventually arrive i am not sure that's going to cure the problems
Really need to use the computer. Your thoughts and assistance will be greatly appreciated
Kind regards
Simon Riley
(ironysmile)

Macius, thanks for your thoughts...
I tried f8 at start (don't know how to do the bios thing)... The f8 resulted in a black screen which I was able to flip into working for a second by pressing fn f5 twice (switch screens and backs again)... This cause a slight fizzing noise from the area of the inverted and then blackout again... Did this a few times as start up took place and then it stopped working and was irretrievably blacked out
Does this help narrow down the search any further?

Qosmio G50-129 PQG55E - 64Bit Windows 7 Upgraded - How To Update BIOS?

Hello,
I have a Qosmio G50 that I have upgraded to Windows 7 64bit. My BIOS is unupdated from 6 months ago when I bought the machine.
I went to update the BIOS just to keep things up to date, so I went through the online driver wizard:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
And with all the above information inputted, it provides:
http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20090312131718.zip
After unzipping and running P0060v210.exe, it extracts and then says:
" [Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed. " (Word up to all my Googling friends!) "
Does Toshiba have a BIOS update for the Qosmio G50 that is supported on Windows 7? Specifically 64bit? They should fix this glitch that directs you to download this file when it clearly isn't supported by Windows 7.
Also, I tried to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2 and it ran fine -- but I was nervous about going through with the update if it originally doesn't support Windows 7, so I don't continue at the next prompt. Is it safe to do this? Has anyone else in this situation done it without issues? I've read that BIOS updates can go horribly wrong if not careful, so I'm hesitant to update the BIOS by running the updater in compatibility mode when it doesnt support Windows 7 on its own!
Thanks in advance for any assistance and Merry Xmas.

Hi All,
Sorry ,my English is not perfect.I have a Toshiba Qosmio G50-12K.The solution is go to the US Toshiba website.Here is the link:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2140527& rpn=PQG55U&modelFilter=G55-Q805&selCategory=3&selFamily=804517
There are all of the BIOS what is available. The 2.1 BIOS exactly the same as on the European website just they used a zip file. If you guys open it you will find the same .exe file, the file size is the same, but don't use this one, instead of it you can find there an ISO file. Write a CD with this one, turn off the computer and boot from the CD, use the F12 button. This is a safety way update the BIOS. But I use the 2.3, this is newest one, for me this one is works much better, because the display is more bright. I hope this is a big help for you and you understand my English! :)

Qosmio G50 No sound over HDMI

*Qosmio G50 No sound over HDMI*
Hi all,
Hopefully anyone recognises the following and would be so kind to help me. I have searched the forum and tried severall of the offered solutions mainly applicable to Vista, but still.
I hooked up my Qosmio G50 to my Philips LCD by HDMI cable. Picture is ok but there is no sound. I tested the cable with a Toshiba Satelite Pro L550 and it works allright. Picture and Sound are working. But that laptop has Intel HDMI audio.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I upgraded by Toshiba update DVD from Vista 64 bit. Sadly I do not know for sure if HDMI audio did work before that. I think so because I did use the laptop for watching a movie on a Panasonic plasma. But I can not remember if that was before or after the upgrade.
Realtek HD Audio device is installed driver version 6.0.1.5923
Realtek HDMI Output is selected als default playback device.
Testing gives me graphical response ( the indicator flashes ) but no audible sound from my tv.
Choosing the other audio device Realtek Digital output changes nothing and I do not believe that this would work anyway.
I have tried removing the device and reinstalling the original drivers. I have tried REaltek drivers from their website.
I have tried changing the view to HDMI only but that does nog change anything either.
One thing that worries me is that under Sound / Realtek HDMI Output / properties / Supported Formats there are no formats present. The Satelite gives me DTS audio and some other. So I am wondering if there should be formats present and if so how can I change this / add any.
Please forgive me if there are errors in the text. I am translating this from a dutch language version of Windows 7.
Please help me. Any suggestions are welcome!

Jeka-?? & PinkPanther thanks for your replies!
The solution for the G30 you mention is not the one for me I am sorry to say. I have tried that one allready. Windows automatically switches on the HDMI audio out when I connect an HDMI cable. Connecting the cable before switching on the TV and laptop is a good thing to try because it eliminates possible problems with the connection. The connection in my case is ok.
At some point I concluded that there must be a softwareproblem of some sort.
I have found the solution over night. Could not sleep anyway. I did not know that the videodrivers are also handling HDMI audio out but in a way it makes sense. I have completely deinstalled the NVIDIA video drivers. After downloading the latest drivers and installing them everything works absolutely fine!

How to install "YUAN FM100" on Qosmio G50?

I recently purchased a new Toshiba Qosmio G50 laptop.
From the first start up Windows keeps giving me a message saying 'Windows needs to install driver software for your YUAN FM100'.
Google suggests YUAN is the company that makes the TV Tuner software - I emailed their support centre a couple of weeks ago, but have had no response.
I can't find the driver anywhere - I've spent ages googling this.
I'm running 64 bit Windows Vista, if that's relevant?
In 'device manager', under 'other devices' Qosmio G50 comes up twice, both with the yellow warning exclamation mark.
Should I disable both of these?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give - please reply using words a 3 year old would understand!
Thanks
Steve

Thanks to both of you.
Short story - success!
Long story;
The driver isn't C:\TOSAPINS so I went to www.toshiba.ca (I'd already looked in the .au - Australia site, where I'd bought the machine).
The driver is available for 4 different variations of Qosmio G50 PQG55C, however, I have PQG55A. I downloaded the driver anyway (for the PQG55C 043049) but it didn't work. 'Windows could not find driver software for your device'.
So then I clicked setup in the downloaded utility, and it appeared to install the whole FM Tuner application. I have the impression my PC was asking me for a driver for a program which it didn't fully have, but then I'm a moron so what do I know.
Anyway, all installed now, and it's not asking me for any more drivers.
Haven't a clue how to open or use the FM tuner though...
Thank you!
Steve

Need new laptop charger for my Qosmio G50

I've got a Toshiba Qosmio G50 laptop that I bought quite a few years ago and the charger for it finally konked out on me from heavy use and bending of the cord.
I've been trying to search for a charger for it with the same specifications as the one I currently have. I think the product number for it is PA3658E-1AC3B and it's specs are like 120W, 6.3A, 19V, 5.5mm/2.5mm.
I have been unable to find a charger with these specs and when I search for other chargers with similar specs and so on, when lists of compatible laptops come up, my laptop is never in the list. Now I'm wondering if this is due to because the laptop is actually incompatible or due to the fact that it is rather quite old.
Also, does anyone know what laptop chargers I could be able to use or specs for them. Like would a charger with these specs work for my laptop?
Output: 19V 4.74A 90W
DC Barrel Tip: 5.5 x 2.5mm
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I dont know where do you live but go to eBay and there you will find proper charger. As far as I know you can use any charger that is offered for Qosmio G50.
If you want to have original part for your model contact nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and order one.

Qosmio G50-12F won't turn on

I got a Qosmio G50-12f
n : PQG55E-04C02YFR
The problem is: when I plug on the dc power I got a white light on the dc plug picture and a orange light on the battery picture.
When I want to power on the laptop, the white light turn off 1 second (maybe) and get back to initial position and the light of the battery turn off definitely.
I tried to find answers on the web. All I find is that maybe due to power: dc jack connector or power cable (the one which goes from the dc in jack to the motherboard or the battery power board under the mouse pad ..
Well Im lost
Anyone has answer? I want to repair it on my own.
Thank you

Hi
This does not look good dude
Im afraid that your motherboard could be faulty.
The battery indicator flashes orange because of charging.
If the battery indicator would be blue (or green), then this would mean that the battery is fully charged.
What you can do is to remove one of the memory modules and try to boot up the unit using one module in each slot
Sometimes faulty RAM prevent the notebook from booting.
However, such notebook symptoms are mostly related to serious hardware issues and it would be advisable to get in contact with an notebook technician who could test the hardware for malfunction

Qosmio G50 won't finalize Windows 7 64-bit install

Hi everyone!
I recently wanted to updated my Qosmio G50-12f from vista 32bit to 7 ultimate 64bit. I did a clean install: formatted the c partition.
Everything seemed to work fine until the "setup is preparing your computer for first use" screen. At first I thought it just froze as it wouldn't go any further. Rebooting (in any modes) would get the same effect.
But to my great surprise and pleasure, it managed to pass that point when i desperately decided to wait long enough for a miracle to happen. But the problems still remain. The configuration process is just !REALLY! slow. I could painfully pass the firsts few screens, like enter computer's name, activation screen, security modes, but with a very long waiting time between each. And everytime it reaches this last security modes screen it would suddenly go to a BSOD:
Driver Power State Failure
* * * stop 0x0000009F (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA800193DD70, 0xFFFFF80000B9C518, 0xFFFFFA80029C8610)
Please anyone has any ideas about how to solve this?
Obviously it should be a driver problem, but how do i get to update any drivers without an OS running? I've seen such a feature in the repair section of the install DVD but it only accepts .inf files.
And I can t find those anywhere on toshiba's support website. Only .exe that you run from your already running OS.
Anyway the Qosmio G50 was not listed as incompatible with 7-64bit. So i'm a bit confused here!
Please Help^^

Hi
Fact is that notebooks are different from desktop PCs and many newer notebooks series are equipped with newer motherboards and controllers which need an additional driver.
The G50 needs an SATA driver in order to install the Windows OS.
The SATA driver should be a part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
Some words regarding the ISO image.
Who knows what ISO image it is seem you are trying to install an image which was created on different computer this could be a problem on notebooks with different hardware configuration
You should use either the Toshiba Recovery disk or the clean Microsoft Windows CD!

Re: Qosmio G50: How to uninstall Gesture controller

hello,
i had to do a repair re-install of my windows 7 ultimate on my qosmio G50 32bit....
after that had finished i had error messages from my gesture controller.
So i guess i need to uninstall this.
I go into control panel and find it in the list, click on uninstall and after it has run its course i get a box saying : error 1310.error writing to file: C:\config.Msi\4cb46d.rbf. verify you have access to that directory .
I click on retry and i get the same message again each time ???
and then after that i get another box saying : error 1603 fatal error during instillation . consult windows installer help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information ???
What do i do ???
Any help would be very much appreciated..... cheers. Neil

Hi
You can try to uninstall the software using an 3rd party tool like CCLeaner.
This allows you to remove the software and clean the registry.
You could also try to install the Gesture Controller without uninstalling the software first.
But Im not quite sure if this would work for sure.
However, visit the Toshiba Eu driver page, download the gesture software and try to run the setup
