Replace SSD in Qosmio X75-A7298?

i have a qosmio with 256gb ssd, and a 1tb hdd. When i open the only cover i see, i can locate the memory and hdd as well as what looks like another spot for an hdd (allowing for a total of 3 drives?). is it possible to replace the ssd? if so, how do i get to it?

Your SSD is actually a msata (mini sata). You do have to take apart the whole laptop and flip the motherboard to get access to the msata SSD. Its basically where our 3 lights are, the wifi, power and battery. I took couple pictures when I put in my SSD in this slot if your interested in seeing it.

No audio in TV using hdmi (qosmio x75-A7295 windows 8.1)

Hi,
The summary of my issue is the following: No audio in the TV when connecting my Toshiba Qosmio x75-A7295 (windows 8.1) to TV LG 42LA6200 using the HDMI.
Well, I would like to know if there's a way to listen to the audio of the mentioned model of laptop using as sound output the TV?
Please I will really appreciate your help since I really need (for work reasons, really urgent) to make people listen to the audio of a presentation I'm working on, but on the TV.
Thanks in advance!!
Sincerely,

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. I really appreciate it.
Unfortunately, I don't have enabled that option in the playback tab.
Take a look at my attached image. I just have one audio device.
Thanks!

Qosmio x75 A7170 Wifi trouble

Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a laptop (model in subject line). It came with Windows 8, but I just couldn't stand using it. I then reverted back to windows 7 x64 ultimate which I used on my last laptop. I'm much more comfortable with this OS, but when I try to install many of the drivers, they simply do not load, state that the OS is not support, and in general are unusable. Unfortunately, the Wireless card appears to be affected by this as well. I have no option to use Wifi (hard wiring works great). When I try to install the wifi drivers, they unzip, I give them permission as administrator, but it stops there. They never finish installing.
As such, I'm not able to use the wireless. I'm hoping I'm not the only person who has done this, and that there is a work around somehwere.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

There are insufficient drivers at the site above for 64-bit Windows 7. But you are in luck. The European site for the equivalent part-number family (PSPLTE) has them. They are here.
The order of installation matters. So you must start over with a clean installation of Windows. Install the Intel chipset software followed by the Intel display driver. Then install the nVidia display driver and the other Intel software prior to other drivers. Install the Value Added Package before other Toshiba utilities.
after chipset installed display driver failed, intel proset installed, no other intel drivers would install. have not moved forward waiting for support.

Any word on when Windows 10 will become available for Qosmio X75-7180

I have the Windows 10 "Get Windows 10" taskbar button and am still waiting for a notification that "Windows 10 is ready for my specific PC." Any word from Toshiba about when this will happen? I have a Surface Pro 2 that upgraded to Windows 10 last week, and so far it's been awesome - very fast and snappy, easy to use, and the upgrade process was a snap. I've heard of people having trouble upgrading from the website, so I'm waiting until I get the specific notice so that I know all the customized drivers are baked into the system.

Here's a little more informaiont.

For more, put your part number (PSPLTU-0QU04V) in here.
Your selected Toshiba PC is supported for upgrade to Windows 10, but not all of the software for the upgrade is available at this time. Additional software will be posted here when it is ready. Please check back at a later time.
If you don't want to wait for Microsoft, you can upgrade this way.
Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool

Video is too slow for audio, the file is .mp4, recorded it with my webcam using Toshiba Qosmio X75-A7170. Also sometimes audio repeats.

Hello,
For some videos when i record with my webcam on my Toshiba Qosmio X75-A7170, and then place it in Premiere Pro the video seems behind the audio.
Stats about my laptop:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz
RAM: 16gb

Memory Speed: 1600 mhz
Hard Drive: 1000gb mechanical_hard_drive
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M
Graphics RAM: 3072mb
Hard Drive Rotational Speed: 7200 rpm
So the video is behind and occasionally for some reason the audio will repeat or even start over from what sounds were happening in the beginning.
The file that gets saved from recording with my webcam is .mp4. I don't know what else to say but please halp.
The video file plays like normal when i use windows media player.
I am using Premiere Pro CC v8.1

Here is the media info application
When i clicked on go to the website it just took me to the download page for quicktime which i had downloaded but it didnt change anything to my knowledge.

Getting Windows 8.1 on my 16GB replacement SSD

On my new HP Pavilion, I have a 2TB hard drive and a 16GB (SanDisk) SSD.My original 16GB SSD failed, and I received a replacement from HP. I installed the new SSD with no problem. However, I believe that the replacement SSD is empty. I understand the OS should be installed on it, so that the system boots more qwickly.I have set up my 2TB drive with apps and files, and it works fine, since the installation of Windows 8.1 is on it.If the function of the 16GB SSD is to contain the OS and for the system to boot from it (so that it boots more quickly), I need help in getting the OS on the small drive.I am afraid that if I run the System Recovery DVDs that I'll erase all of the work I've done on my 2TB drive, and that I'll have to reinstall apps, files, etc. I appreciate any assistance you cvan provide. Thank you,Tim_Paul

Hi again Tim_Paul, Thank you for the quick reply! To answer your first question, I recommend entering the BIOS when the computer first boots up and check to see if the SSD is visible from a list of bootable drives. If it is, you do not need to worry about initializing the drive, as the computer will recognize it as a viable drive to boot from. Once the 2TB hard drive is removed, and if you can see the SSD in the BIOS, you can recover your system by following the steps in this document on Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). To anwser your second question, you will not need to remove the hard drive with all of your files and apps, as it will be catalogued in the BIOS as a secondary drive. I did find out, however, that the system requirements for Windows 10 needs a 16GB hard drive for the 32-bit version, and 20GB for the 64-bit. With this being said, there may not be enough space on your SSD to effectively run the minimum requirements for Windows 10. Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
Regards

Replacing SSD with hard disk drive on Qosmio X505-Q880

Is it possible to replace the SSD drive in a Qosmio X505-Q880 with a hard disk drive? If so what type will work?
Thanks,
Ed

Yes. I just replaced my 60 gig with a Kingston 240gig from Amazon. Re installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I DID NOT use the recovery disk from Toshiba because there were many programs that did not suit my needs, excellent though they were. It runs very fast about 4 times as fast as my old drive.

Add 2.5" SSD to Qosmio X505-Q893 - Capable?

Hi all!
I have a Q893 model with 500 GB 7200 rpm factory built-in disk drive. I would like to use the empty Sata slot (called B) to put this disk drive in and plug a new SSD disk in its place (called A slot). I have opened the empty's slot case and I have noticed that I need a kind of chasis or case equals to the 500 GB's disk have. Without this case, I pressume that the SSD will be "on the air" just only plugged by its Sata connector.
Have anyone ever tried to put a SSD disk on this Qosmio model? Where I could get that case/chassis? Are there any manufacturer which sells both the SSD and something to suplement or adapt the space between the SDD and the plastic case?
I will really appreciate your help. Please let me know if you need a picture of the HDD case.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

For the main drive bays, a simple replacement sled or bracket adapter must maintain the alignment of the left side of the drive with the left side of the sled to allow the connector to mate properly. (Two small U-shaped adapter brackets will not work, because they move the drive away from the left side of the sled.)
More complex solutions, such as the Icy Dock, contain a small extender which includes a new backplane-mating connector to allow the drive to be mounted in a slightly different position on the adapter+sled assembly.
Being exceptionally cheap, I have simply removed the screws on the left side of a standard sled and used a 3mm (Optical Drive and 2.5" drive) mounting screw with a flat washer to Mount the drive to the sled. Double-stick tape was used to discourage rotation, and the drive was carefully hand-guided into position using a bright light to assure proper mating. It is a very snug fit, but works fine as long as you assure that it mates properly.

How to Disable or Replace SSD Drive on HP 700-330qe

Help for My 5-Month-Old HP! This is Killing Me! I bought an HP 700-330qe in 2014 from Amazon, and just started getting SMART hard drive errors from Windows whenever my computer restarts, telling me that hard disk failure is imminent. It also tells me to shut down the computer immediately, back it up, contact the manufacturer, etc. Never saw this in any PC I have owned before. I naturally freaked out and did some research on the internet, discovering it is relatively easy to clone and replace a hard drive. I ordered a new Western Digital 3 TB hard drive from Amazon, a Cable Matters brand hard drive docking station from Amazon, and downloaded Macrium Reflect free disk management software. Items from Amazon arrived in a couple of days and I got to work making a clone of my one and only hard drive. Clone was made with little problem. Shut down the computer, opened it up and replaced the old hard drive with the new one. Booted the computer back up, and got the same message about imminent hard drive failure!! So I paid more attention to it this time, and looked up the model number given in the warning message, which was: ScanDisk SDSA6DM-016G-1006. I Googled that and discovered it was the solid state drive (SSD) used as a cache to speed up certain operations. Arrgh. I stuck my old hard drive into the hard drive docking station and was prepared to clone both the SSD partition and all of the partitions from the main hard drive onto the one hard drive, and the remove or at least unplug the SSD to get rid of this issue. The software told me the SSD is formatted as MPR (or something like that) while the main hard drive is formatted as GPT, which are different types of hard drive formatting, so you can't copy those different types of partitions onto one hard drive. Okay, so here are my options as I see them: 1) I need to either disable the SSD, but I don't know how and I don't know if the computer will still even boot up. Is Windows partially installed on the SSD? I don't know.2) Clone and replace the SSD in much the same way as I did with the main hard drive. I can get the following SSD from Amazon for $49: Kingston Digital 60GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5 (7mm height) with Adapter Solid State Drive SV300S37A/60G. For option #2 above, the only problem is that I have no idea where the OEM ScanDisk SSD is currently installed in my computer!!?!?!? Is it in the hard drive cage?? I didn't see anything else installed in there. I thought it was in the cage directly above the hard drive cage, but I think what I was looking at was the front memory card reader/USB ports. I only have on CD drive installed and I can see where that is. Help!!! PS: I also downloaded EaseUS Partition Master 10.2 and used it to scan the SSD. While it was scanning it found 9 bad blocks (out of tens of thousands of blocks) but when it finished the scan it said there were no bad blocks. To have this happen on an SSD, which is supposed to be more reliable than regulard hard drives, make this situation so much more aggravating. At least I upgraded my hard drive from 2TB to 3TB, and now know that I can do it. Sigh.

Update. So I spent about 1 hour chatting with HP tech support. First we had to clarify the fact that the standard HP warranty runs longer than 4 months. The tech support person originally informed me that the warranty is only 1 year from date of purchase. I then told him I purchased the computer on 8-15-14. He looked up my records and stated my warranty period was 8-21-14 through 12-31-14. After I told him my math tells me that time period was only 4 months, he got it figured out and confirmed my PC was still under warranty.
Anyway, after remotely logging into my PC and running a test, he got a failure code he needed, and then had me open up my PC case and type in the HP part number on the label of the MSATA drive. He first typed that I would get a box with instructions on where to mail my PC so it could be repaired, which would take 2-3 weeks. As this is the main family home PC and has tons of personal information, I stated this was unnaceptable. Ok, so plan B was the replacement was going to be sent to my house so I could replace it myself, expected arrival within 7-12 days. Surprise, just 2 days later I come from work to find a small box waiting for me. I tear it open and get ready to install the replacement, but what do I find? Instead of sending an MSATA Sandisk 16GB SSD, they send me a Seagate 750GB laptop SSHD. The picture of what they sent is below. Got back online chatting with HP support tonight, and their records showed they sent me an MSATA Sandisk 16GB SSD. This has now been escalated to a supervisor, and I am supposed to be receiving a phone call within 24-48 hours. This is turning into a really bad customer service experience for me, and is making me think twice about buying another HP computer. We have 3 HP desktops in this house and are on the 3rd HP laptop now. I really hope they send me the correct part before the whole thing dies on me.

Replacing SSD MacBook Pro mid 2014

Hi all.
I Would like to buy a mid 2014 MacBook pro retina 13" but there is only 128Gb SSD on it. I read about welded ssd. Is it true?
can I replace this SSD after buying? Do you which kind of SSD do I have to buy?
thank you.

They may be soldered to the motherboard, if that's what you mean. But there are no compatible replacements. You can check regularly with OWC to see if and when replacements are made available.

Solved! Fix / Repair Nova Button / One Key Recovery after replacing SSD - Walkthru! Yoga 2 Pro

I created this full walkthru for people who upgrade / or replace their hard drive / SSD drive on the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro or other Lenovo products that has the Nova button - One Key recovery solution. I did this on my Yoga 2 Pro. So it should work perfectly for those owners for others I'm not certian but it should be similiar for other Lenovos.
Essentially this will rebuild your laptop back to factory settings including full nova button functionality without having to buy the lenovo recovery disks. It took me several days to piece this together from everything on the web into an easy to follow step by step process so I hope you appreciate / enjoy it And I hope it saves you lots of time.
The process is not that hard but you are completely wiping your hard drive yourself. All your data will be gone. Bear this in mind. You have to be bold enough to try it. And it's not for the faint of heart.
Read through the whole thing first before doing it step by step.
Here we go.
There are a lot of steps but it's a fairly simple process.
Requirements at least 2 USB sticks - One 4 GB or more
Necessary Files:
1. Okr8 Engineer - Wipes the hard drive and creates the necessary paritions to bring Lenovo drive back to initial state.
This is the file you really need.
Download here:
http://www.filedropper.com/win8okr80withoutos > my personal upload <
https://torrent.pl/de/0438900090510,lenovo-okr8-one-key-recovery-8 or do a search for OKR8.
2. Power Iso - Properly burns Okr8 on a bootable USB for installation purposes.
http://www.poweriso.com/
3. Download copy of Windows 8.1 OEM version - Wish I had found this link before!
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media
For the Yoga Pro 2 you do not need the Windows 8.1 serial as it's imprinted directly onto the bio for others laptops laptops. Use produkey to find you're serail if you lost it you don't have a Bio embedded laptop: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html
4. Get Necessary Lenovo Drivers - Easily accessible on the Lenovo website. Just go and download the drivers you need for you laptop.

Dolby v4 : http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds027444
First section:
1. Download the OKR8 file. You'll need to install utorrent or bitorrent if you downloaded it as a torrent and not my personal file.
2. Download, Install, then Open PowerISO.
3. Select - Tools - Create Bootable USB drive - Select Yes to Run as administrator - Find the OKR 8.iso on your hard drive and burn to the USB stick.
4. Next create the windows 8.1 usb stick as well. Download Windows 8.1: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media
5. Run the Microsoft file and select English > Windows 8.1 and > 64 bit
6. Burn the Windows 8.1 to USb through the software.
7. Relax and have a coffee while it creates the usb stick.
8. Download and save the necessary lenovo drivers onto another USB stick, external hard drive or onto one of the 2 USB sticks you are already using. Valuable if you only have one computer.
Please note: You install all this stuff at your own risk. Propertly back up and save all your old personal data first onto an external hard drive. This process will wipe everything off your drive, including all the paritions (including the old recovery parition if you have one there) and you'd won't be able to get it back.
Having access to two computers is helpful. But if done property you should be good with one. I will not be responsible for any mishaps. This is cowboy computing. Typically for people with too much time on their hands or who are obsessive compulsive types
Second section:
1. Turn off computer.
2. Press Nova button, wait, enter into Bios. Goto to boot mode and switch boot from UEFI only to 'legacy mode". This allows you to boot to the OKR 8 USB your prepared.
3. Shut down computer
4. Insert OKR 8 USB
5. Press Nova button again - Select Boot- Select - USB drive with OKR 8 on it.
6. Let the OKR 8 USB load. - A Windows 8 screen comes up.
7. Once it loads click the check mark and hit the button with chinese letters. This whole software is in Chinese and not in English. Don't worry.
8. Wait patiently. It will say 'done' but it's not all done until the popup windows appears and says All Done. Then REMOVE the usb and reboot.
9. Important* - Reboot the computer and let the OKR 8 software load and install on the recovery parition - It finishes the installation after you reboot. It will reboot again and load into the One Key Recovery Panel software.
Yay! Now select shutdown from the One Key Recovery environment.
10. Press Nova button again > enter bio > and switch back to UEFI mode. *Important* If you try to install Windows through USB legacy mode. You will get a GPT error when trying to install windows onto the hard drive.
11. Shutdown again.
12. Insert the Windows 8.1 USB. Press the Nova button again. Select Boot Options: Boot from the Windows 8.1 USB.
13. Windows 8.1 loads. Select Install.
14. Choose Custom Install and Install Windows 8.1 to Parition 5 - "Windows8_OS"
15. Let Windows Install. Remove USB stick when asked.
16. Reboot. Go through standard windows setup. Install all drivers and program you want in preparation to save the intial factory recovery state.
17. Get your yoga 2 pro or laptop up to the initial specifications you want and then shut down.
Section 3:
1. Now it's time to create the initial backup onto the hidden recovery parition so you can reset the laptop back to inital specs whenever you wish including when you want to sell or give away the laptop..
2. From a shutdown state - Goto system recovery through novo button again.
3. Once it's loaded press CTRL+Shift+O to pull up the command prompt window (Shift + F10 was previously suggested. It did not work for me, maybe on older machines)
4. At the command prompt type in: diskpart
5. type: list volume
6. Look for the letter of volume that is labelled PBR_DRV (eg. H) - This is the hidden Lenovo recovery partition where the initial factory backup image will be saved to.
7. type exit
8. type: H: or whatever volume it is.
9. Your directory should change to H:
10. Type: cd onekey\osimage > This takes you to the correct directory.
11.. You're almost at the end!
12.. Type: osimage /nopbr
13. Type: osimage /fb
14. Wait ten minutes while the initial backup is saved onto the hidden recovery parition
15.. Profit!
16. type exit - Reboot - You're Good to Go.
17. Rock On!
18. Enjoy Life again.
Lots of work but worth it in the end !
Should also work for when windows 10 comes out.

As far as I can tell, Windows 8.1 is merely an windows update, so the license key from your BIOS should still work. If you already updated your machine to Windows 8.1, and a fresh install of 8.1 didn't complain about license key, then you should be able to create a new recovery image from it. For Windows 10, if I am not mistaken, when you upgrade from Windows 7/8/8.1, some hardware ID is stored on a MS server to flag this machine has a windows 10 license, to make it possible to perform fresh windows 10 install in the future if needed. This means if you never have windows 10 installed, then you cannot use it to build the recovrey image (the key from BIOS won't work). But if you have 10 installed, you can always activate it during the process of creating recovery image. Once again, all these are based on my knowledge and I haven't attempt to do them, so I cannot tell if this will definitely work. Try it and let us know

1TB seagate hard drive replacement - SSD instead?

My 2009 27" iMac qualifies for the hard drive replacement programme, as I received the email from Apple and checked using their serial number submission page that mine does indeed qualify.
I was already considering upgrading to an SSD, so now I have questions...
Can I pay extra to have them fit an Apple certified SSD instead of the 1TB replacement drive?
Can I pay extra and have them replace the 1TB but also fit an Apple certified SSD as the boot drive, giving me a second internal hard drive which is the replaced 1TB hard drive? I was going to open up my iMac to see if the bracket and connections are there for a second hard drive, I have heard that they may not be present and that you also have to get a special hard drive (with an Apple factory-fitted temperature sensor) for some models, not sure if mine would be one of those models. If I ask Apple, they might do the fitting for free at least.
I have Lion currently installed, I have Mountain Lion too (which I got with my MacBook Pro). They are on USB flash drives. If I decide to send my iMac for the replacement, should I install the original OS that the iMac came with or Mountain Lion?
What liability do Apple or an authorised service centre have as far as damage to my iMac goes? We all know that these models had a problem with the screen backing causing a shadow, mine is not so bad but it is obviously there if I fill the screen with grey. If they make this worse, can I take it back and demand that they fix it? Will they be able to fix this at the same time that they replace the hard drive? It is something I was going to look at doing myself - try to secure the screen backing, after the standard two year warranty had expired (EU), which I think it now has. What if they scratch the casing or something else like that? I keep all of my Apple products in pristine condition, I will notice any scratches and be deeply annoyed by them.
With all of this in mind, I'm half-tempted to just ignore the recall and do the SSD upgrade myself, try to fix the screen backing at the same time, what do you people think? The nearest Apple Store to me is over 100 miles away, I would have to go to a local authorised reseller / service shop. I should probably give them a call and ask a few of my questions to them, but wanted to get an idea of what you guys knew or thought too.

I'm pretty sure that Apple will not authorize any work other than replacing the 1 TB Seagate drive. You will not be able to pay extra for any additional work. Your choses are to have the drive replaced under the terms of the replacement program or pay out of pocket for the work you want to have done. I had my Seagate 1TB drive replaced on site by calling AppleCare.

CD-ROM error on boot after replacing DVD drive -Qosmio F20-574

Ok so I have a Toshiba Qosmio F20/574 and I'm trying to replace the factory DVD drive (TEAC DV-W28E) with a Liteon DS-8A1P (f/w CX12). With or without a DVD drive Im getting a CD-ROM error on boot. The only time I do not get it is when I boot with the factory DVD drive.
Here are the things I've tried...
-Cleared the CMOS
-Removed the bezel to make sure its plug all the way in
-used the EEPROM utility to set the drive to slave.
-tested the drive in another laptop
-unistalled the factory dvd drive through device manager and tried to boot with the new dvd drive
Here are the things I found weird...
- in the BIOS (ACP BIOS 1.30) under Device I/O it shows the Hard Drive and cd drive but its not listed by name, its showing only the IRQ of the master and secondary IDE controller (Built-in HDD Primary IDE (1F0H/IRQ14), CD-ROM Secondary IDE (170H/IRQ15)). This doesnt change, even if I boot without a DVD-Drive.
-There is no BIOS update available for this laptop. This is a Toshiba from Japan and Ive tried using Qosmio F20 BIOS 1.40 from another region but it doesnt work.
-I cant seem to find an update firmware for the Liteon DS-8A1P (CX17)
I cannot think of anything else to try. I really need help! Any ideas?

Hello
your Liteon DS-8A1P (CX17) currently in SLAVE or CABLE SELECT Mode
you must make it as MASTER
Toshiba accepts drives in MASTER settings only
you can not make it by jumper , because there is no jumper inside the drive
you can make it master by:
1-firmware update to the drive to make it MASTER.
2-by soldring pin 47 to pin 45 inside the drive (not recomended).
