Re: Can't upgrade Qosmio X300-130 to Win 7 64bit

Hi.
is it not possible to upgrade my X300-130 to Windows 7?
It says that the BIOS does not allow 64-bit.
Please answer.
Alex.

Thats really strange.
I had X300 last year and I got it with Vista 32 and 64bit versions. I have upgraded it to Windows7 and later I have installed clean Win7 using original Microsoft installation disc so I must say that it must work.
Do you use original Microsoft Windows 7 installation disc?
Which BIOS version is installed? The latest one maybe?
General speaking there is no big difference between Vista and Windows7 so if it works with Vista 64bit it should also work with Win7 64bit.

Qosmio X300 -130 and Vista 64-bit - On screen Display doesn't work

Hi there,
I recently bought a Qosmio X300-130 notebook which shipped with Vista Home Premium.
The problem was that I could not get onto our domain at the office. So installed Vista Business 64-bit. I found all of the drivers online and everything works perfect except for my onscreen display (When changing the volume, contrast,etc). Can anyone please tell me what software or driver did I forget and where can I find it?
Regards

Qosmio x300-130 - ctrl-buttons won't work anymore

Hello everyone
Im having some problems with my ctrl-buttons. They simply won't work anymore, they used to but slowly they became unstable and now they won't work at all.
So now I ask you if there is any way to solve this problem without sending the computer to repairs.
My computer is a Qosmio x300-130 and I have had it for about two months.

Hello
It is really strange issue with those CTRL buttons functionality. Googling around I found several forums where people report about this. Unfortunately nobody has explanation why this happen.
I use Vista and WXP SP3 on my Satellite Pro P300 and until now everything works properly.
I can just imagine some Microsoft update is responsible for this. Try to roll back OS to earlier time using system restore tool.
Please post results.
Lets see if someone else has other advice.

Upgraded Qosmio X500-10T to Win 8.1: Sound drivers for 5.1 over HDMI

Hello *brilliant* Toshiba community,
I have recently upgraded my Qosmio X500-10T from 64-bit Windows 7 to 64-bit Windows 8.1.
I have left Windows to download driver updates.
My setup: Qosmio (HDMI) => Yamaha AV receiver (HDMI) => Samsun LCD TV.
_The Problem:_ Playing a video file (in MPC-HC) with 5.1 sound only outputs 2 channel PCM.
Would it be better to install the Win 7 drivers from Toshiba even though they are older and for a different OS, or install windows 8.1 drivers from another Qosmio, or leave the Win 8.1 drivers found by Microsoft?
This driver issue is made more problematic as I don't actually know what the technical hardware components are in the machine so its not as though I can find a win 8 driver for them.
As always any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Buzz

Hi
From my knowledge the Win 7 drivers are totally different from Win 8.1 drivers and I doubt that Win 7 driver would work properly on Windows 8.1 system. However, you can test such Win 7 drivers too. But of course I would recommend you to use the Win 8.1 drivers released for other notebook series.
As Im not mistaken the Qosmio X500 needs 2 sound drivers: Conexant (chip CX20583-10Z) sound driver as well as the nVidia sound driver (for HDMI)

VMware error on Qosmio x500-110 and Win 7 64bit

I am having problems running Vmware player on this notebook. It allways gives this error:
Operation on file "D:\VM\WinXP - VS 2008 - Blanco\XPSP3VMwTEMP-s003.vmdk" failed.
If the file resides on a remote file system, please make sure your network connection and the server where this disk resides are functioning properly. If the file resides on removable media, reattach the media.
Choose Retry to attempt the operation again.
Choose Abort to terminate this session.
Choose Continue to forward the error to the guest operating system.
D is local, secondary drive, not remote one. I have trying same with C primary drive, and allways getting this error. I have tried:
Vmware Player 3.0, 3.1
Vmware player 2.5.3
Vmware workstation 7.01
on original BIOS versions, then on 1.9, and latest 2.2...
I am running Windows 7 Enterprise N, 64 bit. Everything is updated, I don't have any issues or problems except this. It is not occasional error, it is rule! Every time i start any version of vmware i get this error. Vmware support told me to try several BIOS versions to see if there is problems with motherboard but I did that and no luck. I have tried all of their products and got exactly the same behavior. I have tried all combination of vmware player options and got allways same error...
Please can someone confirm that VmWare Player or Workstation is working on their laptop? Am I missing something? Virtualization is enabled in BIOS. I don't have idea what is going on... Vmware image is working flawlessly in other notebooks (HP 8510w, Toshiba Tecra2, Dell Latitude etc..), and on all tried desktops/servers. Definitely it has something to do with this notebook.

> mware support told me to try several BIOS versions to see if there is problems with motherboard but I did that and no luck
Thats nonsense you cannot try different BIOS versions because there is only one version (at this time BIOS v2.20)
> Please can someone confirm that VmWare Player or Workstation is working on their laptop? Am I missing something? Virtualization is enabled in BIOS. I don't have idea what is going on.
Why should not run the software on this notebook??
The notebook supports this CPU:
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=43122&processor=i7-720QM&spec-codes=SLBLY
The VT technology is supported by CPU and BIOS.
So it should not be a problem with the hardware
I think its software issue maybe the Win 7 64bit version makes some troubles with the Win XP 32bit OS which you try to run via VM.
At the other hand the error says something about network connection and the server and disk resides
The notebook supports 2 HDDs and SATA drivers are needed in order to recognize the HDD. Maybe this is the issue what do you think???

Can we upgrade our X300 6478-1TU with open-line 3G/HSPDA modem?

I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad x300 (6478-1TU) in US and want to upgrade it with an embedded Sierra Wireless MC8775 PCI Express Mini Card specified in Lenovo's Hardware Manual which is compatible with the 3G GSM service provider system where I am based, in the Philippines.
I emailed Sierra Wireless to purchase this product but this is their reply:
Thank you for your inquiry. Please note that our MC PCI express line of mini cards are embedded modules that are only available for integration into hardware applications, they are not available for end user purchases. The MC cards we offer are not finished products, therefore cannot be put into regular PCI card slots.
In addition, all embedded slots on Laptops have a proprietary BIOS and cannot be re-provisioned by consumer, thus these would not work in your unit. My suggestion is that you contact your Laptop manufacturer for alternate solutions.
This is very disappointing since I bought this laptop assuming the SIM Card slot by the battery can be used and just had to be upgraded by a 3G modem like the MC8775. I did not order the customized ones offered optional under Verizon or Cingular because these are locked to the respective providers only.
I am in the Philippines and want an open line modem for flexibility when travelling abroad.
From the parts list:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-69373.html
The location of the MC8775 (number 3) should be on the opposite side of the Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (number 6) - Installation is back to back, I guess this is difficult to install but possible to do.
Is it true about the BIOS? Isnt there any BIOS upgrade or only a driver installation needed?
Can Lenovo assist us with this upgrade? I am willing to send my laptop to China, Siongapore or Hongkong or back to US if my laptop can have this embedded mini card.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Lenovo has some awesome videos here which show you how to install parts. The hardware manual is also a very useful resource. The WWAN card is one of the easier to get at... but don't forget about the antenna! I have no idea what antenna is pre-installed in your system. If you remove the keyboard, as in the videos, you should see your WWAN slot and any pre-installed antenna. If there is a WWAN antenna there, you are golden. It is possible to retrofit an antenna, but it is tricky. The LCD disassembly/reassembly video shows it.
The only guaranteed way to get WWAN would be to find a way to get Lenovo to do it. Doing it yourself, you take some risks. Your warranty becomes void. You may have problems with the installation. It may or may not work in the end.
Lastly, for everyone else reading this thread bananaman's WWAN rule:
If there is even just a tiny chance that you will ever use it, order your ThinkPad with WWAN factory-installed!
The incremental cost is only about +/-$100, depending on the model. In the current ThinkPad models, Retrofitting WWAN is not easy, not cheap, and risky.
That said, maybe someone out there who has actually done the retrofit can chime in with some advice...
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Qosmio X300-130: Problems with some drivers in windows 7 64 bit.

I have installed normally in my laptop windows 7 64 bit version. Before I continue with my main problems I am in the forum for answers and I found this [post |http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=232906&#232906] . How can I see if have a 32 or a 64 bit BIOS? If I have a 32 how can I make it a 64?
And now my problems:
1. I have installed a 64 bit sound drive for windows 7 of Realtek the version 6.0.1.6392 and it only recognizes the 2 speakers above the keyboard. How can I fix this?
2. My media controller manager is not responding with the drivers for windows 7 64 bit. Should I have the bluetooth on? I tried with media player and VLC and it wasn't responding. How can I fix this?

>How can I see if have a 32 or a 64 bit BIOS? If I have a 32 how can I make it a 64?
Start the notebook and press F2. Then you should be able to access the BIOS.
There you should see the version number. Furthermore you can download the latest BIOS from the Toshiba European driver page.
>1. I have installed a 64 bit sound drive for windows 7 of Realtek the version 6.0.1.6392 and it only recognizes the 2 speakers above the keyboard. How can I fix this?
The notebook supports the speakers: main x2 + tweeter x2 + woofer harman/kardon
All speakers are controlled by sound chip. So you need to install just the Realtek sound driver.
Further settings can be found in control panel Realtek HD audio manger.

Trying to upgrade to 33.0 on Win 7,64bit, have Intel HD Grph drv ver. 8.15.10.2321,(3/6/2011), how do I find out if it is an HD 3000; Win says driver is current

Having same problem that other users have reported, black windows with blank surround.
Can't install troubleshooting box, based upon directions provided. Does Firefox have to be running? Using IE to report problem.

You can disable hardware acceleration in Firefox if you can't find an update of the graphics display driver.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Hi
Im not sure when Toshiba would release such drivers but I think this will happen after Win 7 would be released and published.
At this time you can find only the beta version (RC) on the market.

How-to: Installing Windows XP on Qosmio X300

Admins: please review this content, and make this topic sticky.
I decided to try out Windows XP on my Qosmio X300-130 laptop, that came with Windows Vista 32-bit pre-installed.
I bought XP Pro license + disc.
Part A: Installation
===============
1. Go to Intel website and download "Intel RST" drivers -- those are required to recognize the SATA disk. Unfortunately Qosmio X300 does not provide IDE emulation in it's BIOS.
2. Download "nLite"
3. Start "nLite" and choose option to slipstream the drivers, and choose to integrate Intel RST drivers, and create ISO. Burn the ISO on a CD-R.
4. The new CD disc should be installable on our hardware
Part B: Video
===========
Unfortunately, Toshiba modified GeForce used in the laptop, so standard NVIDIA drivers won't install on Windows. (they do install on Linux BTW)
PCI (and PCI express) code is made of several parts:
-VENDOR ID (NVIDIA, main vendor)
-DEVICE ID (chip used, GeForce 9700 GTS in my case)
-SUB SYSTEM ID (Toshiba, secondary vendor)
After you installed fresh XP, go to device manager, and see devices under yellow question mark. (devices that Windows can't recognize)
Click on VGA (it is our GeForce) --> Details --> Device instance ID.
You need to search original NVIDIA driver for your DEVICE ID (that is, so it matches the chip in your laptop exactly, DEV_062A for me).
I had to change one single file from original NVIDIA driver:
nvts.inf
%NVIDIA_DEV.062A.01% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_062A&SUBSYS_00011179
-->
%NVIDIA_DEV.062A.01% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_062A&SUBSYS_FF011179
Part C: Network & Audio
===================
You need few drivers:
-Intel WiFi 5100 drivers
-Realtek PCI-E Gigabit drivers
-Realtek HD Audio drivers

Very nice posting!

Battery is not charging after buying new charger for Qosmio X300

Hello all
My problem started when the charger of my laptop toshiba qosmio x300-130 made a strange noise and stoped working . laptop stayed on and was working perfectly as the battery was full .
I cloused pc and opened again next day to check my mails and then cloused it again .
the charger was off so i ordered one new charger from the company that support toshiba laptops in greece .
After 5 days i received the new charger from theyr offices . run home and pluged it but something was wrong . the battery isnt charging ! windows giving me message that battery exists but not charging !
The battery light of the computer lights up when i put the power on but after few seconds start blink and then it go off .
Also when i operate pc with battery on it it start making the noice that battery is low and then it turns off even that it is on power with the charger .
I went back to the company and they tald me that the charger is fine and that the battery just died couse it was her time to die !!! any one can help me ?

> I went back to the company and they tald me that the charger is fine and that the battery just died couse it was her time to die !!!
Well, can you use the notebook without the battery but only in connection with the AC adaptor?
If yes, then the AC adaptor is OK and fully compatible.
The Ac Adaptor should support the 19V and 9,5A
The Ampere (A) value could be a little bit different. This is no matter but the Volt (V) value has to be the same 19V
In your case the battery could be faulty or there is some problem with power supply electronic on the motherboard.
But I think the battery should be checked firstly

Overheating GPU on Qosmio x300?

Hi there, Ive purchased this wonderful laptop last week but have a major concern involving the 9700m GTS,
When im playing on a game my GPU temperature would reach 95 - 100C / 200 - 215F!
The other components remain cool at around 40-50C.
The fan kicks in at 65C and then the heat will slowly rise to the temperature above, The fan does not appear to be running at full speed like it does for a second when you first turn on the laptop maybe at around 70% instead of 100%
Ive crawled a lot of x300 forums and other users have said their laptop reaches 65C and stays around that temperature for hours,
I dont have any artifacts or corruption/crashes at these temps but i am concern about the laptops longevity.
What are other users max temps with this GPU and is there any program i can use to increase the GPUs fan to run 100%
Thanks in advance.

So i bought a Qosmio X300 - 130 in February ... Worst Buy EVER . Its been with Toshiba for almost 6 months now with this overheating issue . Its with them for 2 months (atleast there close to there 2 day turnaround time) , gets sent back to me , i send it back after one day , and the loop starts all over again . This loop only started when i actually had to get a technician to my house to show him that i am not lieing and that the laptop actually does go up to those temps and that it does actually shutdown . Seems Toshiba's way of stress testing a graphics card is abit flawed . Running a Benchmark program that comes from Noah's ark doesnt cut it boys
Seems toshiba doesnt know what the problem is , as the Laptop has a new GPU , New Fans , New HDD , New Graphics Drivers , Updated Bios , New OS and from what i hear , they are now replacing the motherboard . All i want to do is get the thing either swapped out , or just credited so i can go and buy a NON toshiba Gaming laptop . I bought the laptop to replace my Work desktop , and kill 2 birds with one stone (Gaming laptop when i want to game , but mostly there for work) . With the utter useless Service i got from toshiba South Africa , i have since gone out and bought a new desktop so i can atleast keep working . I have to also give toshiba Germany props thou . Took them 5 weeks to send a mail telling toshiba SA how to proceed after having had the laptop for 4 months with no success .
I run a quite well know PC store in South Africa who supply hardware to the gaming market . Since this incident, I have since pulled the entire range off my shelves and sent it back to my supplier . I cant with a good conscience sell these laptops to my clients even thou i have had a few request for these . Only thing i am glad for is that this is not a clients laptop thats been with them for 6 months and counting .

Qosmio X300 - CORSAIR RAM is not working

Hello,
I own a Toshiba Qosmio x300-130 and in users manuall it is said it support max 2 x 4gb ddr 3 =8gb
So today my CORSAIR RAM ARRIVED !!! AND i was suprised they didnt work !!!!
Ima out of tricks what do u think the pr is ?
here is the part number
cmso4gx3m1a1333c9 i bought 2 x4gb :(

Yup...... here is my story and how it went :)
it looks like modules with 1066 mhz are rare these days and apparently....... the newe ones which are 1600 will not work under any circumstance.....
So today the shop refunded my money and i decide to go by car and search for modules which are DDR3 and 1066 mhz and after 1-2 hours driving i found a small repair shop where, when i entered and asked they said they have.. and apparently this shop is collecting all these old modules and reselling them for good profit since these modules are more expensive than newer ones...
Anyway we tried Kingston, Samsung, Adata and many other companies all of them worked i wanted to buy 2x4GB=8Gb the which according to manuall the laptop supports max 8GB RAM !!! but i was shocked after we loaded the modules 2x8GB = 16Gb again 1066mhz ola !!!!
The laptop botted up and in phoenix Bios it showed 16GB !!! i was shocked ....... So i ended up buying the 16GB and went home happilly ever after ;)
I hope RAM problem resolved
