Qosmio X770 - No FN-Bar in Windows 7

Hi Guys,
ive got a little problem, not extreme, but little.
In the Factory Default i press the FN Key, and in the upper Field of the Desktop diplays the Bar with the FN-Options.
Now, i dont know why, this function is disabled.. the FN-Keys works normal, but the bar never shown again.
Maybe Display Driver?? its the NVIDIA-Reference Driver from the NVIDIA-Homepage.
May you help me??
English is not my Motherlanguage. :)

Hi
The FN bar is called Flash Cards
The Flash Card Support Utility controls these FN buttons.
You can restart the Flash Cards easily: All Programs -> Toshiba -> Flash Card Support Utility -> Restart Flash Cards ;)

Re: Qosmio X770 and Windows XP64bit

Hi there,
I recently bought one new Toshiba Qosmio X770, but unfortunately it came with this new Windows 7.
I have 2 other toshiba notebooks, one is a NB200 Netbook with WinXP32bits running nicely about 1 year or more, and another big one Satellite P300 also with XP32bits.
All the softwares that I need - are running extremly good, without any conflicts, for more than a year!
But something is bothering me: After ripping of the HD from this new Qosmio X770, and trying to install Windows XP 64bits, Ive found that theres no, or anykind of support to such drivers from Toshiba.
I downloaded many drivers from the 3rd party hardware manufacturers, but only a phew worked.
Now I have this big, powerful computer, expensive, without any softwares (because, when I try to install any software that I already own, into the original Win7 64bits, it says that its incompatible, or you need to buy another version, and so on...)
My point is: Im not going to buy upgrades or other software just because some dumb Engineer built an entire new OS that requires entire new softwares, entire new Drivers, and so on. This is madness!
What should I do with this X770?
Im not going to throw it away, but you Toshiba Enginheers, should make Compatible drivers, at least for the Windows XP 64bits / 32bits.
Im not going to put this crapy Windows 7, just because someone at Microsoft wants that. I have my right to still use my usefull softwares and my Windows XP, wich works incredibly more smooth, uses less memory and works well than Win7.
Many thanks for the support.
Daniel.

Windows 7 => Windows XP 64bits with some fancy and diferent colors. Look at the Control Panel on the classic view, its the same as Windows XP! The main difference is that there are some few new items.
The Windows Kernel hasnt changed much since Windows XP, the main key is the memory addressing that really needs to be rebuild, due to additional 32bit addressing (64bit processors). But the base still the same, just a recompiled Windows XP.
The madness here is that every single year we are forced to buy software... Do you really need to spent money? Its like burning money: you already have something working (like Office 2003... it works even better than Office 2010... they changed only the menus, but the rest still the same) why buy something that has just changed the name and added some fancy buttons? this is like burning money...
I know that we are year 2011, but lets look for something that has more than 100 years but the concept still the same and we still use it today: AC Three-phase induction motors - It works very well, requires very low or no maintenance at all, and delivers a nice and stable function - generating torque as long as the power supply is running ok. Theres another example: Radio FM / AM - the same as above. Combustion Engine - same as the above;
All Software should be made focused on the last longing utility - Software that will run 100 years, but will run extremly fast on 100 years Computers ..., than on fancy buttons or something like that.
Oh, btw, im still waiting, after about 2 hours, the finishing of SP1 Win7 install...
Im planning to test onto another harddisk, the installation of Windows XP 32bits on this computer :D
Hope to find 32bit driver somewhere...
Daniel.

Qosmio X770-13E - can I built it second internal HDD/SSD?

Hello from the snowy mountains of Savoy !
My computer is a Qosmio X770-13E.
I am disappointed because it runs very slowly (I have the "windows 7 explorer green bar problem" ...)
I have extended the RAM to 8 Go : no real speed change.
In this computer there is only one hard drive (750 Go, 5400 turns/minute).
The windows hard disk access evaluation is only 5.9 !
There is an empty place near the hard drive, so I wonder if it is possible or not to add a second internal hard drive or even a SSD.
I have searched for this in the user's manual : no answer !
And on the web, I have also found no answer.
Perhaps on this forum ?
Thanks, and excuse me for my "amateur english" (I am french !)

Generally speaking it is not easy to discuss about notebook performance. Every of us uses notebook with specific configuration and preinstalled applications that may run in the background and slow down notebooks reaction.
All I can say is that you should check OS configuration and disable some useless applications to start with Windows. Disable also automatic Windows update installation. This can also slow down notebook operations.
HDD/SSD
I dont have this Qosmio notebook but what will be interesting to know is follow: when you remove this cover and check empty place is HDD/SSD connector available or not?

Qosmio x770/00x - button 1 does not work pressing 6 and other button

This is going to sound so weird, but bear with me...
I just got a Qosmio x770/00x a couple of weeks ago, mostly for gaming purposes.
I play in left-handed configuration, using the Num pad as directional keys, with some of the other non-directional numbers mapped to things like 'jump' and 'melee', etc.
I have the '1/End' key mapped usually to the 'Crouch' motion in games, and noticed that if I press the '6/Right' key, in combination with any other number key, the '1/End' key won't register!
This means if I'm moving Forwards in a game, and Strafe to the right, I can't simultaneously crouch.
I've done a bit of playing around, and it seems that this bug isn't limited to my unit, or to any particular program. If you try a similar thing in any other program (eg Notepad), and hold the '6' key down along with any other number key, the '1' key won't register.
However it seems that it *has* to be the '6' key in the combination (eg. if you press '4' and '7' together, and then press '1', the '1' will still register.
Have also tried this on the store demo model at the local computer place, and it seems that it's a problem with this particular model.
The store computer runs Windows 7 Home Premium.
I'm running Win7 Pro. BIOS and Windows are fully updated.
Have also tried it on my older P-series Satellite, and that doesn't have the same problem.
Any ideas?

Ive got 2 notebooks from two different manufactures and the button 1 does not register if 6 + other button is pressed.
Dont think its a really a keyboard bug because this happen with my two notebooks which are not really similar to each other

Qosmio X770 display not recognized anymore

I just bought a Qosmio x770 about a month ago and some day when I started it the login screen never appeared.
In linux left me in command prompt and said that no screen configuration was found.
Windows said nothing but the screen remained black.
After a number of reboots it worked normally but only for a couple of hours.
Plugged to an external monitor it works.
Also when I boot in safemode (or failsafe) it works (I mean I can enter windows/linux at 640x480 resolution).
I updated the bios to the latest version 1.30. What more else to try?
It's really uncomfortable to send it back because I need it for my job (even connected to another monitor).
My hope is that the problem is not hardware related and somehow I can solve it.
Is there a chance?
Thank you!

I reinstalled the windows driver in safe mode ... and nothing.. But I didn't do anything before the problem appeared ... And linux is not recognizing the screen also. I tried to boot from an external hdd and the same problem. Fn F5 show me only the external monitor. I tried some 3d games on the external monitor and everything seem ok. When connected to hdmi linux boots up in X Windows but when running nvidia-settings there is no internal display ... only the external one.
The strange thing is that the internal display is working in safe mode ... is it possible to be damaged then?
Thank you

Qosmio X770-n404 How to get illumination to stick ON in Bios?

Just received a brand new Qosmio X770-n404 from toshiba last week
The lighted keyboard words fine when turn on
However when turned off, and illumination set in BIOS to on, it wont stay on after windows starts
I go back to Bios and it says illumination off
How can i get illumination to stick ON off in bios?
(im talking the illumintion option, not keyboard back light)

ok thats what i thought its supposed to do
so let me restate clearly, what my problem is:
first i go to bios, i sent illumination to ON
then of course i hit the SAVE option to store the settings
i exit and the laptop reboots
now, as soon as the laptop starts, the media buttons and the red strip above the mouse pad are illuminated
the laptop continues to boot, after i enter my password and the windows desktop begins to open, the lights cut off
The only way i can cut them back on at this point is to hit Fn-Z to either turn them ON, or turn them on with the timer(which is not exactly the same as JUST having the illumination on)
i reboot back into bios, the illimunation option is turned OFF
i turn it back on
wash - rinse - repeat.....
So im wondering if i have a software or hardware problem. When i set the illumination to ON , shouldnt it STAY on? and not go off once i enter windows?

Qosmio X770-13G - Slow WLan internet connection

Dear all,
I just bought a Qosmio X770-13G with Windows 7.
WIFI data transfer is very slow, even when using a high speed AP (tried it on more than one location) and after disabling the anti-virus program.
Using the Config Free program shows 6Mbps second download speed but even downloading a 4 Mb PDF file takes several minutes.
Updating the BIOS software and the WLAN driver did not help.
Does anybody have the same experience?
Thanks in advance,
John

Yes, it does. And a new development yesterday evening shed new light on this problem: In addition to using a couple of known AP's I tried connecting to new AP's. Result: a data transfer speed as expected. So it seems I dont have to look into faulty hardware but into connection problems with certain AP's. I guess my original problem (suspicion of faulty hardware) is no longer an issue. Thanks for the reply.

Qosmio X770-11C - good or bad experience?

As a fan of Toshiba products (after my two Toshiba PC’s: protege M200, Satellite A200-1DS), I have decided to by a more performance one.
So I bought Toshiba Qosmio X770-11C, I was satisfied by the high performances, as I'm using matlab and 3dsmax.
Then after 7 months I have started to see blue screens;
I thought that may be with window 8 the problems will be resolved, unfortunately not….
Calling Toshiba, they have repaired it (when I received it, stating windows… blue screen again…
so I don’t know what they have repaired…..!!!)
Calling them again, for many times, at last after 3 months and half they send UPS to repair it… till now my PC is at toshiba to be repaired…
For me it is a good luck with toshiba: I bought my PC .. I used it for 7 months… then.. I’m in stand by… :(
I think this will be my last Toshiba PC…
Unfortunately I loved their products before, so I’m looking now for Lenovo, any one has an idea about the performances of such pc’s.?

Sorry to read all this. Qosmio series is best Toshiba multimedia machine but it was always too expensive for me so Im user of Satellite P series. Ai still use my Satellite P500 in hope Toshiba will offer again one big P series again. I love 18,4 display.
I dont know which BSOD have you noticed (error code) and what can be the reason. Have you tried to reinstall recovery image and test functionality with factory settings again?
I rally hope you will get your Qosmio soon and everything will be OK again.

Drivers for Qosmio X770-123 needed

Hi,
i have recently installed a new version of Windows 7 on my Toshiba Qosmio X770-123.
When the system first started up, i noticed that, obviously, no Toshiba programs were installed and also no drivers for anything.
Right now neither my fn-key, nor my W-LAN chip are working.
I need the drivers for my Notebook, because the W-LAN driver for this product in particular is not available for download right now.
Thanks in advance!

Qosmio X770 - key malfunction - Mute instead of keyboard light

Hello everyone
My Qosmio X770-13C makes me crazy, let me explain:
When I want to use the keyboard light that makes sound muted and I do not understand why.
The FN key works only when I reactive flash cards.
All my drivers and BIOS are up to date. What to do?
Somehow I think that latest Windows update caused it.
Thank you in advance for your answers
+Message was edited: posting has been translated+

Multimedia buttons are controlled by Toshiba value added package.
Visit the Toshiba EU driver page and download the latest VAP.
Now uninstall the installed VAP.
Reboot the notebook.
Install the new downloaded VAP

Qosmio X770 screen is definitely not as bright as other laptops

I have visited SEVERAL retail stores selling the Qosmio X770 and the X770's screen is definitely NOT as bright as other laptops such as Satellite even other models of Qosmio.
I've compared the X770 against other laptops side by side at several retail stores, and the X770 seems dimmer. I made sure the brightness setting on both laptops were on maximum each time.
I've even opened up Notepad in Windows when comparing laptops and I noticed that not only is the X770 less bright, it has a lower "whiteness level". The white space (eg. in Notepad or when browsing the web) is "less white". The whiteness seems very dull in the X770 compared to other laptops.
I'm wondering if this is a flaw in the X770? I asked each salesman at each store and they said it's "normal", and that it is the way the laptop was designed.
Perhaps as a gaming laptop, they decided not to make it too bright to make gaming more comfortable? If one of the X770 engineers could answer this, i'd be very happy.
I'm in Australia by the way.

Hi
I dont have the X770 Qosmio but Ive got the U400 and a Tecra A11.
The display of U400 is brighter as the Tecra A11 display.
The point is that Tecra A11 is equipped with different LCD panel.
Type of Lighting is Sidelight, LED and the Brightness NIT (value) at 8 level (highest level) is220.
The U400 is equipped wit other LCD display and the Brightness NIT (value) at 8 level is 250.
So its 30NIT higher then on display using by Tecra A11
The X770 supports the 17.3"(HD+) display and the Brightness NIT at 8 level is 220NIT
So its the same brightness like on Tecra A11 but is dimmer as on display of U400.
But this is not a display fault or hardware problem. Its simply different kind of display.. you know
Personally I like both... both displays have advantages and disadvatages in the usage...

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. Unfortunately, I don't have information on that model. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.
If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

Qosmio X770 - system + all apps report Intel controller active, not GTX560M

Hi everybody,
As per the thread topic:
X770 - system + all apps report Intel controller active, not GTX560 M ??
I just bought for my family a Qosmio X770 and Window system report plus games like Diablo III report that the Intel HD family controler is the active video card, and not the GTX560M ?
How can it be? The computer is straight from the factory. Are both active, do I have to deactivate manually the Intel controller in the System panel?
This seems super weird to me that such thing exists.
Please advise, that would be much appreciated!
TIA.
Lorelei & family.

Hi
You cannot disable the internal Intel graphic.
The point is that this is controlled automatically if the graphic card supports the Optimus nVidia technology.
If the application needs full graphic performance, the external nVidia chip will be used.
If the application does not need the strong graphic performance, the Intel internal GPU would be used in order to save the power.
But of course you can assign the GPU to a single application.
Here is another thread about this theme.

Qosmio X770-10J weak WLAN signal

Hey there!
I just got a brand new Qosmio X770-10J 3 days ago and got some strange wlan issues.
The notebook is placed 3 meters away from my AVM WLAN device and it got only 2 WLAN bars, long loading times and a lot of reconnects. Another (older) notebook at the same location hast full five bars and is ridicolously fast in comparision.
Anyone got an idea?
I got the same problem with an UBUNTU live cd, so it can't be a driver issue.
Thanks for help!

if it is a brand new laptop it is possible your energy plan is not configured properly
so go to power savings settings and edit one of them (preferably the one called high performance) and edit everything so it is set to performance and not to power saving, including the wifi adapter, which can be controlled on 10 different "levels" of energy comsumption, as far as i can remember.
its good to do this anyways because sometimes the settings for your graphics card or usb power seetings are also in power saver mode and your cpu is not running on full potential.
if this doesnt help... well, i would unscrew the laptop bottom cover try removing the wifi adapter and placing it back in the slot. also i would check the 2 cables that are connected to it and are basically 2 ends of your antenna that is coiled in the plastic frame around your monitor (at least in most laptops)
and if this doesnt work, i think it will be safe to say the adapter is faulty. but it really does sound like power savings settings thing so stay positive
