Qosmios X300-156: Should I buy a cooler for the portable

Hi.
Well I'm freshman here in your site :)
I have a doubt about my portable. I have asked many people reviews, but none was able to convince.
I have a X300, and unfortnely he had a breakdown on the motherboard.
I'm from Portugal, anda they sad to me that in Portugal they don't have the motherboard,
I have to wait until she comes from germany. This is desperate because I'm there three weeks without the portable.
Makes me think if its worth buying a laptop so expensive. If it were a normal portable Surely it would have.
But my question is this. Should I buy a cooler for the portable since it has been down twice due to temperature?
Some people say that i don´t need it and some people say that i should buy. Does it hurt to have a cooler in the portable?
Well thats all. Thank you, and sorry my english =|

Hi
Usually an additional cooler is not necessary and in most cases counterproductive.
In your case its important that the notebook has been placed on the table and that there is enough free space around the notebook to assign good air circulation.
Furthermore you should use the Toshiba graphic card driver because such driver supports and GPU overheating protection. Drivers from ATI page or nVidia page do not support such protection as this could lead to GPU damage.
Its also advisable to clean the cooling fans and grilles from time to time its could be helpful to remove the dust using the compressed air spray.

How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone? If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone? If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

You have a password, so good move on your part. Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs. Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
Ringing occurs at the carrier. Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings. If you have an iCloud backup also a good move. Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

Unfortunately no. I asked the same question when I went to the local Apple Store for my "try on" and as of now you would have to order the watch with the metal link band and the black sports band separately.

Should I be creating folios for the ipad at 1024 x 768 or 2048 x 1536?

Hi,
Should I be creating folios for the ipad at 1024 x 768 or 2048 x 1536?
Thanks

The older iPad generation cannot display folios in 2048x1536, they are too large for the screen of the iPad and the iPad2. If you want to make sure all iPad users can see your content go for 1024x768.
If you have the resources to create several renditions of your folio, create a high-definition rendition to target specifically users with a Retina iPad. Have a look at this article: Creating DPS content for different iPad models.

sales at AppStore are based upon 'users'= accounts; if the other Mac is running under your account, you can download and install a copy of iMovie 'for free' (the ToU of Appstore allow to install purchases on as many computers you own = running under your account)
If the other Mac is running under a different account, you have to log-in at AppStore under those account, and purchase it it.
Quiet simple ... and cheap. And convenient.-

You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do.

Qosmio X300-14N - Is there a way to have the latest display driver?

Hello,
Since the begging this computer has been very sensitive with video drivers, the use of SLI technology implies the use of the last Nvidia driver but our computer has never been officially added to Nvidia laptop releases. More generally, with some video games, I have big performances issues (for example Starcraft II), very high temperatures and sometimes artefacts.
Is there a way to have the latest officials drivers (without having to modify by hand .INF file) and what about temperatures issue ?
Thanks.

Arzul-there is a way to use the latest Nvidia verde notebook driver without you having to modify the inf. yourself.
I posted the full method in the gaming forum under 'Toshiba display drivers and what they dont want you to know'-just follow that but use the latest Nvidia notebook driver and matching modified inf. from Laptopvideo2go instead of the driver i mentioned as i posted that sometime ago.
I have an x300-13w with the hybrid sli set up and i'm using the 258.96 driver with the pre-modified inf. from Laptopvideo2go with no issues-i have the nvidia SLI profile running for Starcraft 2 and its runs great!
However i did purchase a Zelmann laptop cooler to help during the summer and even though my GPU temp gets to 80-90c this is no hotter than when i was using Toshibas outdated driver-i do also regularly use compressed air can on the vents.All this has helped me to have good stable gaming on all the latest games.
I do share your frustration at the fact that our laptop is not included officially in nvidia drivers even though it has a Nvidia chipset not an Intel one-but its all to do with cold,hard business-Toshiba do not want to pay Nvidia to have our 'old' laptop supported in driver releases.
One thing that you should do if you update your display driver-also update to the latest BIOS from Toshiba-this corrected a bug which had prevented screen brightness control from working with gpus in SLI with recent drivers.
You will lose the laptops ability to auto switch to the motherboard gpu when on battery as well as this is a function only built into Toshiba display drivers-but you can do this manually yourself in needs be.
One disappointing thing i noticed with the release notes for the latest Nvidia driver-it states that 258.96 will be the LAST one to support hybrid SLI-i dont know if this means we wont be able to use later drivers even with modded inf.
Anyhow.. good luck and happy gaming!

Qosmio X300 14N - Nvidia Driver message: Driver are for 32bit Vista

Hi,
I bought a Qosmio X300 14N with SLI 9800GTS. When i'm trying to install the last driver Nvidia Notebook 179.48 NOTEBOOK(recommanded on toshiba site)
I have the message that the driver i'm installing are for 32 bit version not for 64bit but i'm using a 32 Bit Vista version.
With the driver that i'm currently using i have some problems on framerate wich is completaly strange; Sometimes it will be very fast and sometime very slow.
It's very disapointed to have this type of problem with this type a computer. My last laptop computer was a Dell and i'm beginning to regret it.
Is there anybody that could have an idea on this problem ?

Hello Gaudin,
I bought a Qosmio X300-157 and I've your same problems. When I try to update my Nvidia drivers, Vista doesn't allow me to finish the update because it say that my Windows version is not a 32 bit (while it is). I tryed several certified Nvidia drivers version from several sources but the result is always the same. I've also installed the new release of windows 7 (on a different partition) and when I update the driver I have the same problem again as in Vista. So I'm start to think that it's a Qosmio problem though it's unbelievable that a notebook like this payed more than 2000 euros can have this kind of problem.
I read that you solved the problem. Can you give me any suggestion? After the uninstalling of the driver how you can select the graphic card? Please help me because I'm going crazy!!!
Thx in advance.
Charly

Qosmio X300 - one Geforce 9800 GTS runs hotter than the other

Hi.....Does anyone have a clue why 1 of my 2 gfx cards seems to be running alot hotter than the other? I would assume they would both be roughly the same temp. This is an example...Nvidia Defaul @ 1680x1050
512MB GeForce 9800M GTS (Toshiba) 63 C
ForceWare version 186.42
512MB GeForce 9800M GTS (Toshiba) 49 C
ForceWare version 186.42
256MB GeForce 9400M G (Toshiba) 56 C
ForceWare version 186.42
SLI Disabled
When i exited playing F1 2010 yesterday, one of the cars was 90C and the other about 58C......Im sure that isnt right. !!!!
Also i see that it says SLI disabled....again i dont understand this, as i thought my rig automatically switched to SLI mode when needed.
These temp readings was taken from the program speccy.
My laptop is a Toshiba Qosmio X300-15U....running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. 4gb ram. Q6600@2ghz.
Any help would be really apprieciated.
Thanks

Well i'm sorry you've had such clueless replies to your question.....if i had a cent for everytime a "regular" toshiba contributor says "use compressed air" or "only use Toshiba display drivers blah..blah`.....i'd be a very rich man!
The simple reason why only 1 of your 9800m gts cards is hot is because it is the only card being utilised in most games especially recent ones like F1 2010.
You see the toshiba graphics driver you have installed on your Qosmio is nearly 2 years old-and it doesn't contain any SLI profiles for games that have been released after this driver was created (mid 2009).
Just because you have 2 Nvidia GPUs in the laptop it does not mean that they are being utilised everytime-in fact it is totally dependent on having an SLI profile for specific program/game within the driver itself.
If you open the Nvidia control panel and go to advance settings/manage programs you can scroll down a list of sli profiles for programs installed on you machine and also view a complete list of all profiles within the driver.
It is possible to add you own sli profiles on this screen by browsing for a games executable and adding it to the list of preinstalled profiles.
However in my experience this rarely,if ever, produces much of a performance increase and can sometimes cause instability-and is no substitute for Nvidias own SLI profiles.
So.. the only way you can gain an SLI boost in games is by having the latest driver with the latest profiles....but wait i hear you say..
Toshiba haven't updated the driver for our laptop since 2009!!!
Yes thats the massive downside of owning a gaming laptop especially one as unique as Qosmio x300-just see my post in the Gaming forum-`Toshiba display drivers and what they don't want you to know' and i'm not gonna go into all that again.
All i say is that you can get some great advice on using modified Nvidia drivers on Laptopvideo2GO.com and if you go to the forums and look under Nautis1100 Hybrid and optimus drivers you'll find a new thread especially created for owners of qosmio X300s.
Good luck!

Where can I by a cooler for Satellite A300D-16Q?

Hi
Do you mean the cooling module?
Well, all parts can be purchased from an authorized Toshiba service partner in your country.
Would recommend getting in contact with the ASP who could be able to provide such compatible part.

Should I buy Coldfusion 8 for testing?

The company has Coldfusion 7 and I used it for testing the
code locally in conjunction with Dreamweaver.
Does Adobe have a development server version of CF 8 to test
locally before it gets uploaded to the outside web servers... or do
I need to upgrade/purchase CF8?
Thanks for the help!!!

As far as I know, there were no CFML items that were
deprecated in CF 8:
