Qosmio X300-14P - Can I use another CPU?

Hello,
sorry for my bad English but my schooldays are along time ago.
I thought about to buy a Toshiba Qosmio X300-14P.
The price is ok for me but the CPU is not the strongest but the other X300 are to expensive for me.
Is it possible to change the p8600 into a p9500 by myself? I know about the warranty but is ist possible to buy another CPU and do this into the X300-14P?
If it is possible what CPU is possible?
Thank you

Of course you can upgrade the cpu, only i would do it via Toshiba service, since if you do it on your own your garanty is void.
Of course this way is more expensive.
Since you have the X300-14p, you can see in other models (series x32, not 31) what CPU is possible.
The p8600 is the component that slows down the system, as you can even see in the Vista system check, where everything is 5.8 and 5.9 (graphics, 3d graphics, memory, hdd), only cpu is 5.3 and thus the bottleneck that slows down everything here.
For the 9800gtx graphics an extreme or quad core cpu was better.
I wouldn't upgrade it now, though, since it is too expensive in the moment, wait at least 1 year.
I would NOT overclock anything in any way, because notebooks have a heat problem anyway, and overclocking is not meant for notebooks.

Qosmio X300-14P - System crashes

Hello,
my Qosmio X300-14P has an problem...My system crashes at least 3-4 times a day and the reason is not the operating system or any other program...I don't know what it could be...Sometimes Windows (I use Windows 7) says the graphic card driver does not work correct. But I've tried all the drivers and none worked right...I hope you can help me.

Hi,
I think I got the same problem as you got. I used Vista 32-bit with 4MB Ram - but as we all know, we only can
use more RAM by using a 64-bit operating system. So I installed a Vista 64-Bit version and my problems started.
First, I had to install the new display driver - I used the new one from nvidia, but i did not work. Second, I used the
driver from toshiba and it did no work, too.
The problem was that my computer started as normal but after 2-3 minutes, the lights of the screen was switched
out, but you still can see all opened windows on the screen...... - and some minutes later, everything is perfect.....
for the next 20 minutes.......- i thought it is a hardware problem, but it seems to be a driver problem - i am still
waiting for an answer of Toshiba services....
Hopefully they got an answer. If I got one, I will let you know it - perhaps it works....
Good luck :-)

New Qosmio X300-14p with bios 2.40

hi,
i purchased a new toshiba qosmio x300 in a store that had a single one still in stock.
i have had a x300-.14p (pqx32e-04h02wgr) before and thus know it a bit.
i remeber : the latest bios for the x300 even today is version 2.10
i was surprised that the new x300 i purchased has the bios version 2.40 !!!
================================================== =========
how can a new x300 have a later bios than that offered in the official toshiba support site for the qosmio x300 ?
my question : is this ok ?
or is this some weird error and do i have to DOWNGRADE bios from v2.40 to V2.10 ?
but it looks normal and as of yet i have not detected anything unusual.
maybe a toshiba official can help ?
but besides, any clue welcome.

the hdsetup tool of course reports the same version than the bios : 2.4
the notebook was one that has been standing as a demo in the shop for awhile, so it might have
been used a couple of times by the personal for demonstrations to customers.
so i repeat my question : how can there be a bios 2.4 when the latest offered by toshiba is 2.1 ?
IS BIOS 2.4 OK for QOSMIO X300-14P ?
===============================
of course i expect that someone from toshiba at least from time to time reads and answers here.
this is the OFFICIAL toshiba forum on the official toshiba site, of course i expect them to read and answer here !
what kind of company is this, anyway ?
especially in cases like this, when users can obiously not help.
and it is in their OFFICIAL website,
i expect that they answer those questions.
it is their job. thats what support forums are for.
my question is still unanswered !
i am still waiting for an answer (for quite some time, now).

You can't buy another one. You have to reuse one of the accounts previously set up on your phone, or create a new one to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or higher), if you have one.

Qosmio X300-14P - Not listed anymore

Hi,
I couldnt believe it: The Toshiba Qosmio X300-14p is suddenly not listed anymore among the models at the driver download page. Why?
Would Toshiba website creators please be so kind and include it again?!
================================================== =======
Really, such behaviour shows that there is no more difference between cheap noname notebook makers and the so called "good name" makers.

Hi buddy,
I dont know what problem you have and on what Toshiba website you search exactly, but Qosmio X300 is still listed on driver download page:

Qosmio X300-14P: Will Sound 5.1 Headset - Razer Baracuda work?

Hello fellas,
I just bought that Qosmio X300-14P and would like to buy a new headset right now.
Actually it's gonna be that Razer Baracuda Hp-1 which is a 5.1 headset.
Will it work?
I haven't found any serious information about that sound-platine which is implemented.
I would be grateful for a very fast answer.
Yours Faithfully
KjubE

Hi, no it cant be done, the reason being 5.1 surround headphones have 3 connectors ussually, 1 for subwoofer, 1 for rear and 1 for front. We only have 1 connector on the laptop.
However, there are a few companies that make special units for this, one of them being creative labs.
Hope this helped

Qosmio X300-14P : Graphic card issues and vertical stripes on display

Hi,
2 days ago, after a long notebook session of many many hours, suddenly after playing for 2 hours the game
Patrician 4 addon, it crashed in a strange and never seen before way:
The display would show strange and weird colours in all forms rushing over ther display. You could not recognize anything anymore, and after a few seconds of this the screen and the x300-14P completely froze/crashed (hung - no reaction on anything except power plug pull and/or 5 seconds push of ther power button).
I was afraid since this to me looked like a serious issue of either graphic card (nvidia chip) or display.
I hoped it was because of heat (though i have a powerful cooling pad below the notebook and heat shouldnt be a problem).
Next day (yesterday) I launched the game immediately after startup, and after a few seconds the same crash appeared again with the same strange video glitches (never saw something strange like that before).
I immediately did the 5 second power button press reset,. and then, when the first boot screen appears (the bios display hint and the loading/booting screen), there were like 2-7 vertical white stripes (on the black background) on the right side of the screen.
They wouldn't move nor go away.
I immediately turned the notebook off and it is off since then.
To me this looks really serious, as if either nvidia chip (Geforce 9800-GTX) is broken or the display.
Does anyone know something about this ?
Has anyone heard of such a problem ?
Who knows more ?
I know, i can now connect an external monitor.
If there is no problem, this should mean that it is a x300 display problem
If the problem also appears on the external monitor, it is the nvidia gpu chip. That would be at least my guess.
Has anyone any idea about this, what it might be and what i could do ?
(i am afraid sending the x300 in to toshiba for fixing is not worth it, as it is pretty old
(it was purchased new in june 2009). fixing it is probably too expensive.
Any ideas about hthis problem ?
I never had it before.
Who can help ?
Thanks
P.S:
I was thinlking about buying the new qosmio X870, but i just saw it has no express card slot, which i need for various expansion modules (like tv and video equipment, more e-sata cards etc.pp.).
Without an express card slot i wouldn't buy any notebook, i need this slot urgently (it is like a pci-express card connection slot in a desktop pc).
To me the express card slot is vital.
Too bad many notebooks dont have it anymore.
So io might need my x300 for some time,
but what shoudl i do abpout this new strange video chip/display problem ?

Hi,
yes.
even windows has now deactivated the whole graphic card, saying it was deactivated because
it reported an error - CODE 43 .
the stripes are still there at boot screen and bios screen, they go away though as soon as windows loads,
but this has deacvtivated the nvidia chip (the nvidia device driver software wouldnt start at all, it says : no nvidia gpu connected (since it was deactivated by windows 7)).
looks like i have to send the x300 to toshiba for repair (maybe even mainboard replacement).
who knows how i can find the local toshiba repair company ?
whom can i call in
FRANKFURT AM MAIN
GERMANY
to get my toshiba notebook repaired ?
if someone has the adress and even better telephone nummber, i would be happy.
a second question, by the way :
did someone of you ever replace the mainboard in a toshiba X300 / X305 ?
how expensive was that ?
thanks

Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information.

Q. Can I use the grey coloured System Restore discs that shipped with Mac A to install OS X onto Mac B?
A. In most cases, due to technical and licensing reasons, the answer is no. The answer is definitely no if any of the following apply:
Any part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
The OS on the disc is any version of Leopard (10.5.x), or is any version of Tiger later than 10.4.42
Either of the two Macs has an Intel processor3
The system restore discs from Mac A contain an older version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
However, an installation attempt may be successful, and compliant with all OS X licensing terms, if all of the following conditions are met:
No part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
The OS on the disc is Tiger 10.4.3 or earlier, or is an earlier version of OS X (10.3.x, 10.2.x, etc)2
Both Mac A and Mac B have PowerPC processors (G3, G4, or G5)3
The system restore discs from Mac A contain a newer version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
All terms of the Mac OS X Software License Agreement are followed, particularly sections 2 and 3 regarding permitted usage and transfer.
Even if all the above conditions are met, software restore discs contain computer-specific releases of Mac OS X, and may not install or work properly on a Mac that has a hardware configuration that is significantly different than the original.
Notes
The license agreement for single user copies of all versions of OS X, including all versions that ship on system restore discs, do not permit any part of the software to be installed or used on more than one computer at the same time.
The provision restricting the use of grey coloured system restore discs to the same Mac with which they shipped was introduced with the 10.4.4 Software License Agreement, and has been carried through to the 10.5 Leopard Software License Agreement. This restriction was not present in the Software License Agreement for earlier versions of Tiger, nor for earlier versions of Mac OS X.
All Macs with Intel processors shipped with a Mac OS X EULA restricting usage of the software restore discs to that Mac only. The license that shipped with G3, G4, or G5 Macs that shipped with 10.4.3 or earlier permit the transfer of OS X to another Mac, provided that all terms of the license agreement are followed. Furthermore, the architecture of PowerPC and Intel systems are incompatible enough that neither platform's system restore discs will install on the other.
Mac OS X system software will not properly run on, and may not even install on, any Mac that is newer than it, because the software lacks the hardware drivers to run properly on the newer hardware. Details are in this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186

Gray Install Discs are Machine specific, so even if both were Intel iMacs they'd have to be the same Models.
Leopard 10.5.x is another possible option besides Tiger/10.4.x.
Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
* A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
* Built-in FireWire
* At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
* DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
* At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)

See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...

Or Ali Brown's great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10381710#10381710
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!

Can't burn to DVD from iMovie (4.0) using iDVD. Can I use another program?

Suddenly, after making several DVDs with this computer using its old version of iMovie without trouble, I can't burn my latest creation...I'm getting a message saying that "You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OS X."
I cannot update to the newest OS X Snow Leopard, because I've tried and my computer is not intel-based.
So, has my iDVD application has been updated to suddenly be incompatible?? How has it worked before?
(I've tried to upgrade my iMovie application to the current iMovie '11, but my computer is not intel-based.)
Is there another solution to my problem? Is there another application that I can use to burn from iMovie to a DVD besides using iDVD? (Remember, I have an old computer.) :o)
Thank you so much for any help you can give!

You can try using BURN at http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html

My phone is going to be cut of by orange cos I can't afford the bill but I got my current phone direct from apple shop can I use another SIM card from another network in

my iPhone is going to be cut of by orange as I can't afford the bill, my current phone is direct from an apple shop as I had to have it replaced , can I put another sim in from another network and use my phone on a pay as you go from O2

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
