Qosmio notebook question about mains power supply

HELLO GUYS
I just wanted to know if a buy a Qosmio from the America or other countries in europe will they play on UK mains power supply. I saw one on ebay that said it had an auto sensing power supply which will work anywhere. But i wasn't sure if i should believe this.
Thanks in advance

hi Navdeep,
Most modern AC adapters work on a voltage range of 100-240 volts so they can be used virtually world wide. This obviously saves the cost of producing specific adapters for different countries or regions.
Just check the specifications for the Qosmio in the country where you plan to purchase it.
regards,

Main power supply

Main Power Supply Failure - My Imac was about 18 months old when the main power supply "Blew up" to quote the repair technician - it even disturbed other items on the board. The machine was protected by a surge board and nobody else in my village suffered problems with their machines (Macs or PCs). Have I just been unlucky or is this a problem that occurs with some machines?

I'd say unlucky. Was there an outage?

Qosmio X505-88* - US/EU power supply

Does anyone know if the X505-88* models can be used in EU power grid with a socket adapter? Does the laptops power supply accept 110 / 230 V ?
I plan to purchase a model from US and use it in EU too.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Xardas for the anwser. I have another Toshiba laptop (different series) bought from EU and has both voltages on the A/C. I am going to buy the Qosmio online so i am not able to check the A/C before. But just now i have downloaded the detailed specs for the laptop and it says it accepts both. Don't know why i didn't thought of that before :).

Question about the Power adapter

I just got my Macbook and I love it but I'm a bit confused as to the function of the power adapter. I plugged it in and it started to charge my battery. Is this supposed to happen? I thought the function of the adapter was to provide continuous power from an outlet supply. Maybe I'm under the impression that the second cord I received with my macbook is a power supply cord. Is it?

Also You can run the computer without your battery in but I believe it's not good for the computer.
This link explains the point you were making. MacBook reduces processor speed when battery is removed while operating from an A/C adaptor

What to do about a power supply for more than 2 hard drives in my G4 tower

There are bays for up to 4 hard drives on the floor of the G4, but I can only find plugs to get power to two hard drives. I already have a PCI IDE controller card so I can accommodate a number of drives, but I don't know where to get the power from. How are you supposed to power the other two hard drives? There's one spare power cable up where there could be a zip drive, but that won't reach down to the hard drive bays. Is there maybe an extension for that power supply?
Jason

Hi-
Look carefully inside of the tower.
There is another power lead with two power connectors to allow for four hard drives.
It may be curled up and tucked behind the fan shroud.
The power cable with two connectors for the optical drives is yet another power lead.
In total, there are three leads with six connectors.

A question regards to power supply to my b520

i bought my lenovo b520 in the usa(110volts) and brought it to israel(220volts).
on the back of the screen it is written 100-127/200-240.
does it mean that inside the computer there is a transformator between 110 to 220,and i just need to get the right plug?
OR, that i have to purchase a transformtor?
thank you

I would expect it to be universal volage too, but found this in the Lenovo IdeaCentre B5 Safety and Warranty Guide V4.1:
Voltage-selection switch
Some computers are equipped with a voltage-selection switch located near the
power-cord connection point on the computer. If your computer has a voltageselection
switch, ensure that you set the switch to match the voltage available at
your electrical outlet. Setting the voltage-selection switch incorrectly can cause
permanent damage to the computer.
If your computer does not have a voltage-selection switch, your computer is
designed to operate only at the voltage provided in the country or region where the
computer was originally purchased.
Unless the power supply legend actually says 100-240v or a document that came with the machine says it's OK, I'd not plug it in to 220V power.

I have just replaced my older IMac with a new one because of a cronic power supply problem. Now I see this one is doing the same thing. Is anyone else having the same issues with their MC508LL/A.

I'm with babowa there ... I would suspect the power souce, not the PSU. Where you live could be an issue depending on how reliable and 'clean' the electricity is to your home. If that is ok then it could be the wiring in your house ... if it were mine, I'd need an electrician to check it out.
Personally, I've had computers hooked to my electric service since 1995 and no UPS (despite recommendations) and never encountered a problem with the computers ... many electrical issues (brown outs, outages, etc), just been fortunate they didn't affect my machines.

Qosmio F30 question about TV-tuner

Hi, I am Mike from Slovakia (middle europe)...
Is it possible to watch TV program on DVB-T ?? or this signal is only for Qosmio G-series ???
I have a driver on CD: AVerTV v5.2.0.14 Slovakia Patch
but during the instalation it shows me: "WARNING: Wrong TV utility version!
this driver is from ORIGINAL TOSHIBA CD ! NO COPY...
and when I try to connect my Toshiba to the "normal" aerial trough aerial cable, notebook is able to find only three HUNGARIAN (I am from slovakia) program im the very bad condition too,,, when I connect this cable to the classic TV, I can watch more than 30 programs....
Where is the problem???
DO I need driver for slovakia TV programs??
Is possible that on Slovakia there isnt a DVB-T signal ???
Is possible to watch TV in high quality anywhere I am, only with "pocket" aerial connected to my notebook???
Happy new year and thanks for your answers !

Hi
Are you sure you can watch DVB-T in your region? Please check it at first. It is definitely possible that there is no DVB-T signal because I know that many west countries are not covered with this signal. Please dont understood me wrong but technical development on west is much better as in Slovakia and I believe there is definitely no DVB signal just normal TV signal that you can receive with simply TV antenna.
With notebook TV devices is that they are country specific and maybe because of that you can not see all channels you would like to see. I was not out of my country with my Qosmio and I didnt test it yet but I am really interested about that and how it works exactly.

Maybe a dumb question, about which power connectors to use, but....

This may sound like an incredibly dumb question, but here goes anyway....
I upgraded my system a few weeks ago, and will be slapping in a new ATI X850 Pro AGP card in a few days. My current graphics card is a p.o.s. Radeon 9550, so it doesn't have its own power connector or even a fan. My PSU is a dual-rail Antec model, and I'm wondering if it should matter any about how many or which devices I have connected to each power cable set. My psu came with cables to attach, only 2 of the 4 though are the 4-pin molex - the other 2 are pci-e power connectors I believe. Should it make a difference which or how many devices I connect to each cable? For ease of plugging in, I believe my DVDRW and CDRom are using 1 cable, and my ide drive and floppy are using the other cable. Also, I have a pci fan and a case fan running off 1 or the other. I'm likely to jump the power cable for the video card off the one the hard drive is using, unless someone has some suggestion to offer to the contrary.
If it makes a difference, can anyone recommend how they would have them connect?
My list of devices to plug in would be:
1)IDE HDD
2)Floppy
3)CDRom
4)DVDRW
5)Case Fan
6)PCI Fan
7)Video Card
Thanks for any thoughts! SAB - you seem to be the man on builds.....any ideas?

Well, I put the new card in and connected it on a cable with the optical drives. Also, I had unwittingly connected my cdrom on the same ide channel as my hdd , so I changed that so both optical drives are on the secondary ide.
So far, so good. 3dMark03 jumped up from 3300 with an overclocked Radeon 9550 to 10570 with the stock Radeon 850 Pro
I wish I could find some local source to purchase additional molex cords for my Antec SmartPower 2.0 psu, though - I've got 2 more 'outlets' just sitting there on the psu doing nothing, because the other cables are for pci-e, and I'm not using pci-e...... If I could buy some additional molex cables to plug in like the ones that came with it, I could have the vid card on its own cable....

Question about MagSafe Power Adapter

I just got a new magsafe power adapter and wanted to know if leaving it connected to the electricity for too long damage it?
Last question, my battery is dead, should I take it off andrun on the adapter, or just leave the battery on?
A friend of mine told me tht "dead batteries" ruin power adapter?
Thanks all

I'm afraid you should buy a new battery, Frank.
Running on the power adaptor alone will slow down your MBP. - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332
Running with a seriously defective battery installed, though, may not only place a heavy load on your adaptor but may result in the battery deforming (causing other damage) or worse.
Leaving your adaptor plugged into the power when not being used probably won't hurt it, but it will use more electricity than a fluoro lightbulb.

Qosmio F30 - question about D-Video out

Hey,
some months ago I bought a Toshiba Qosmio F30 notebook in Germany which has a D-Video output. There was also a cable included converting from D-Video to SCART. I tried that with some TVs at home using SCART but there was always a horrible fuzzy video signal where I could hardly identify some desktop icons. Do you have an idea what goes wrong there?

Hello
I do not know for sure but in BIOS settings somewhere must be option to enable SCART option. Please enter BIOS settings and check it out.
Other very important thing is to use the right channel on the TV.
Good luck!

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

Question about main difference between Java bean and Java class in JSP

Hi All,
I am new to Java Bean and wonder what is the main difference to use a Bean or an Object in the jsp. I have search on the forum and find some post also asking the question but still answer my doubt. Indeed, what is the real advantage of using bean in jsp.
Let me give an example to illustrate my question:
<code>
<%@ page errorPage="errorpage.jsp" %>
<%@ page import="ShoppingCart" %>

<jsp:useBean id="cart" scope="session" class="ShoppingCart" />
<html>
<head><title>Shopping Cart</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
Your cart's ID is: <%=cart.getId()%>.
</body>
<html>
</code>
In the above code, I can also create a object of ShoppingCart by new operator then get the id at the following way.
<code>
<%
ShoppingCart cart = new ShoppingCart();
out.println(cart.getId());
%>
</code>
Now my question is what is the difference between the two method? As in my mind, a normal class can also have it setter and getter methods for its properties. But someone may say that, there is a scope="session", which can be declared in an normal object. It may be a point but it can be easily solved but putting the object in session by "session.setAttribute("cart", cart)".
I have been searching on this issue on the internet for a long time and most of them just say someting like "persistance of state", "bean follow some conventions of naming", "bean must implement ser" and so on. All of above can be solved by other means, for example, a normal class can also follow the convention. I am really get confused with it, and really want to know what is the main point(s) of using the java bean.
Any help will be highly apprecaited. Thanks!!!
Best Regards,
Alex

Hi All,
I am new to Java Bean and wonder what is the main
difference to use a Bean or an Object in the jsp. The first thing to realize is that JavaBeans are just Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) that follow a specific set of semantics (get/set methods, etc...). So what is the difference between a Bean and an Object? Nothing.
<jsp:useBean id="cart" scope="session" class="ShoppingCart" />
In the above code, I can also create a object of
ShoppingCart by new operator then get the id at the
following way.
ShoppingCart cart = new ShoppingCart();
out.println(cart.getId());
...Sure you could. And if the Cart was in a package (it has to be) you also need to put an import statement in. Oh, and to make sure the object is accessable in the same scope, you have to put it into the PageContext scope. And to totally equal, you first check to see if that object already exists in scope. So to get the equivalant of this:
<jsp:useBean id="cart" class="my.pack.ShoppingCart"/>Then your scriptlet looks like this:
<%@ page import="my.pack.ShoppingCart %>
<%
ShoppingCart cart = pageContext.getAttribute("cart");
if (cart == null) {
    cart = new ShoppingCart();
    pageContext.setAttribute("cart", cart);
%>So it is a lot more work.
As in my mind, a normal class can also
have it setter and getter methods for its properties.True ... See below.
But someone may say that, there is a scope="session",
which can be declared in an normal object.As long as the object is serializeable, yes.
It may be
a point but it can be easily solved but putting the
object in session by "session.setAttribute("cart",
cart)".Possible, but if the object isn't serializable it can be unsafe. As the point I mentioned above, the useBean tag allows you to check if the bean exists already, and use that, or make a new one if it does not yet exist in one line. A lot easier than the code you need to use otherwise.
I have been searching on this issue on the internet
for a long time and most of them just say someting
like "persistance of state", "bean follow some
conventions of naming", "bean must implement ser" and
so on. Right, that would go along the lines of the definition of what a JavaBean is.
All of above can be solved by other means, for
example, a normal class can also follow the
convention. And if it does - then it is a JavaBean! A JavaBean is any Object whose class definition would include all of the following:
1) A public, no-argument constructor
2) Implements Serializeable
3) Properties are revealed through public mutator methods (void return type, start with 'set' have a single Object parameter list) and public accessor methods (Object return type, void parameter list, begin with 'get').
4) Contain any necessary event handling methods. Depending on the purpose of the bean, you may include event handlers for when the properties change.
I am really get confused with it, and
really want to know what is the main point(s) of
using the java bean.JavaBeans are normal objects that follow these conventions. Because they do, then you can access them through simplified means. For example, One way of having an object in session that contains data I want to print our might be:
<%@ page import="my.pack.ShoppingCart %>
<%
ShoppingCart cart = session.getAttribute("cart");
if (cart == null) {
    cart = new ShoppingCart();
    session.setAttribute("cart", cart);
%>Then later where I want to print a total:
<% out.print(cart.getTotal() %>Or, if the cart is a JavaBean I could do this:
<jsp:useBean id="cart" class="my.pack.ShoppingCart" scope="session"/>
Then later on:
<jsp:getProperty name="cart" property="total"/>
Or perhaps I want to set some properties on the object that I get off of the URL's parameter group. I could do this:
<%
ShoppingCart cart = session.getAttribute("cart");
if (cart == null) {
    cart = new ShoppingCart();
    cart.setCreditCard(request.getParameter("creditCard"));
    cart.setFirstName(request.getParameter("firstName"));
    cart.setLastName(request.getParameter("lastName"));
    cart.setBillingAddress1(request.getParameter("billingAddress1"));
    cart.setBillingAddress2(request.getParameter("billingAddress2"));
    cart.setZipCode(request.getParameter("zipCode"));
    cart.setRegion(request.getParameter("region"));
    cart.setCountry(request.getParameter("country"));
    pageContext.setAttribute("cart", cart);
    session.setAttribute("cart", cart);
}Or you could use:
<jsp:useBean id="cart" class="my.pack.ShoppingCart" scope="session">
<jsp:setProperty name="cart" property="*"/>
</jsp:useBean>The second seems easier to me.
It also allows you to use your objects in more varied cases - for example, JSTL (the standard tag libraries) and EL (expression language) only work with JavaBeans (objects that follow the JavaBeans conventions) because they expect objects to have the no-arg constuctor, and properties accessed/changed via getXXX and setXXX methods.

Qosmio G20: Questions about MCE Recovery CD/DVD

I bought this Qosmio G20 laptop few months back. Its cool. I live in Asia where media centre edition is not launched with this series. I have a Windows XP home edition with this laptop. Can anyone tell me whether its possible for me to format this OS and install MCE on this laptop? And where could I get media centre edition's recovery cd/dvd ? What is the procedure to install Media Centre Edition from recovery cd if I get one? And anyone would like to share their media centre edition recovery cd with me would be great.
pls contact me on this email address [email protected]
Thank you very much (:

Hi
In my opinion the only solution is to install Microsoft WMCE (full version). I dont believe that you will be able to get original recovery DVD because the hardware is bundled with software and you can just order the same if you lose one.
Like I said you can try to install full version but you must be careful because this unit support RAID and you must install RAID driver at the beginning. The Qosmio player should also be installed before you start to install MCE. Please check Qosmio area on this forum and you will find a lot of useful topics about Qosmio G20 installation.
Use also option Advanced search.
Good luck!
