Satellite P750 - wrong warranty date

Hi everyone!
I just got a message from Tempro saying that my Warranty was going to expire soon. The thing is that I bought my laptop on Amazon.de on February 3rd 2013. When looking at the registered date, it says 2012. This is completly wrong and I know that I haven't registered it yet. I do not understand.
Can someone tell me who to contact for this?
Thank you in advence!
Marie

  • X60s wrong warranty dates

    I bought my X60s in Denmark on the 13th of march 2007 with a 3 years warranty.
    When I look up my warranty status it says that the machine has a three years warranty, but it also says that the warranty expiration date is 10th of may 2009.
    This is wrong because the warranty should run until 13th of march 2010.
    How can the date be corrected?

    Welcome to the forum!
    You should contact Lenovo sales (hopefully you still have your invoice) and get this resolved, it shouldn't be much of a problem IMHO.
    Hope this helps.

  • Satellite P750/02L - Extended Warranty question

    Hey
    I was wondering if anyone could help me about my extended warranty.
    My computers recently been playing up and I need to take it back in but its past its limited warrant and I have lost track of my extended warranty.
    I have a Laptop Satellite P750/02L. I remember registering for the extended warranty on the Mytoshiba.com.au website but can't find a copy of it saying that it has the 2 year warranty and I was wondering where I could find it.
    I really hope someone can help me.

    Hi
    Get in contact with Toshiba service center in your country Australia and they should be able to check if your notebook is covered by warranty:

  • Satellite P750-10R - BSOD while gaming - wrong graphic card?

    I've been having trouble with this laptop since I got it. I've hardly been able to play any games on it even though it surpasses even the recommended specifications. Sometimes it will freeze, other times it will BlueScreen.
    I've taken in to the shop three times, the last just two weeks ago, and it hasn't changed. Today I was comparing the specs and I noticed this on the Toshiba products specs:
    Graphics adapter type : NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M with CUDA Technology and NVIDIA Optimus Technology
    memory amount : 2,048 MB dedicated VRAM. Available graphics memory can be expanded using system memory, through TurboCache technology: up to 3,793 MB with 4 GB system memory installed as shown in the NVIDIA control panel, and up to 4,095 MB with 5 GB system memory (with pre-installed 64-bit operating system).
    memory type : DDR3 Video RAM (resp. Video RAM and system memory combined)
    connected bus : PCI Express
    [This is a screencap I took from the laptop.|http://i.imgur.com/NezvzgI.png]
    I really am hoping I'm misunderstanding something here. Do these match up?
    EDIT: The BSoD I get most often is this one: Blue screen Error - BCCode: 1000007e

    Hi,
    Can I add a question to this thread please? I have a Satellite P750-13M and have had it for over a year and a half. Mainly I use it for work and some low intensity games, but recently I started using it for more graphic intensive games. Often the computer overheats and crashes when doing so. While investigating the problem I came across the same NVIDIA screen shot that wertxi posted. According to the NVIDIA control panel I only have 64MB of dedicate VRAM, but the P750-13M specs page ...
    http://www.toshiba.ie/discontinued-products/satellite-p750-13m/
    ... says that I should have 1GB of dedicated VRAM. Is this a discrepancy or am I not comparing like with like?
    I haven't been having any blue screening, just over heating and slow graphics rendering, although the machine (supposedly!) exceeds the recommended requirements for the game.
    Thanks,
    Simon
    EDIT - Just to clarify, in case I rambled too much, I do have both display adapters listed in device manager and both are up to date. My query is about the discrepancy in the dedicated VRAM indicated in the product specs and in the NVIDIA control panel.
    Thanks again

  • Refurbished iPod Touch didn't come with warranty, has wrong purchase date

    So I bought a refurbished iPod Touch 5G a couple of weeks ago (in September). For some reason the serial number for the iPod shows up as being out of warranty and also states that it was purchased in May. Has anyone else ever had issues with the warranty and purchase date info being mixed up for their refurb? It became an issue for me because the iPod's screen was flickering. I took it to the Apple store, where they could see that the records were incorrect, but could do nothing about it. They replaced the iPod and zeroed out the replacement fee so it didn't cost me anything, but my iPod still officially lacks a warranty and has the wrong purchase date associated with it. I wish I knew who to talk to to get this cleared up.
    I should add that I bought my iPod from the online Apple store, so this is all within their system.

    Kappy,
    Thanks for you reponse. The serial number for my iPod brought up the following information at the Apple store:
    Warranty Status: Out of Warranty(OW)
    Model: IPOD TOUCH (5TH GENERATION)
    Date of Purchase: 06-May-13
    ...but I ordered the iPod online on September 21st. They had to bypass their system in order to give me my free replacement. I'm concerned that if I have a problem again in the future I will not get my 1 year of warranty coverage. It seems to me like someone failed to change some information associated with this iPod when they processed my order for the refurbished model.

  • WEb camera initializtion failed in Satellite P750-114

    Dear All,
    I am facing a problem with the web camera in my Toshiba Satellite P750-114. The laptop is less than two months old and the web camera was working fine, then it suddenly stopped working. The error message is "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer". The Microphone stopped working as well, as it is related to the web camera device. The operating system is Windows 7 64bits. It seems that the operating system is not seeing that there is a webcam anymore. I tried the following things:
    1- I uninstalled the web camera driver, downloaded the most recent driver from Toshiba website (the link is http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=UK) , and installed it, but it did not work.
    2- I restored the original setting for the laptop, but still the web camera is not working.
    Two ways I am using to test the web camera: the Skype and "Web Camera Application" from Start/Toshiba/Utilities
    Please if someone has any idea on how to resolve this problem, the laptop is band new and it is fantastic, but this problem is annoying. I searched the Internet for similar problems, some Toshiba models suffer from this problem but not P750-114,
    Please help
    Bashar

    Generally speaking, after recovery image installation all hardware components should be recognized and installed properly so with this factory settings everything should work as on the day after you purchased your notebook and started it for the first time.
    If the cam doesn't work with factory settings I can imagine there is some hardware problem.
    I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can check cam functionality using their diagnostic tools and exchange cam if necessary.
    Of course it will be covered by valid warranty.

  • Satellite P750-11W - Backlit keyboard for this model

    Hello.
    I recently boughty a Satellite P750-11W. I thought that the keyboard was backlit, but I was wrong. I bought it in Spain where I am working at the moment. Have you got one of this model with backlit keyboard? If not the same model (not 11W), any P750 with backlit keyboard?
    Thank you,
    Regards, Greg.

    Hello
    Satellite P750-11W has no backlit keyboard thats right but there are many other Satellite P750 models with backlit keyboard.
    I have checked the Toshiba page and for example Satellite P750-10Q has backlit keyboard:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-P750-10Q/1105926/
    If you want a backlit keyboard get in contact with an authorized service provider. The guys can order all original Toshiba spare parts and exchange them. Another user has already exchanged the keyboard with a backlit one:

  • Satellite P750-10C: SSD not so fast - get only 300MB/s

    Hi,
    Today I bought Samsun 840 PRO 128GB with 390/500MB and install it in my notebook, but in test I get only 300MB/s, why?
    Its SATA III port, so I should get this 500MB like other person.

    Hi
    From my knowledge some models of Satellite P750 series would support two HDDs
    I think that the HDD1 and HDD2 would be connected to port 0 and 1 and for both HDDs 600MB/s (2x 300MB/s ) data throughput would be reserved.
    I think in such case even if the notebook would support one HDD, only 300MB/s would be possible.
    SATA port 2 where ODD is connected would support only 300MB/s

  • Satellite P750/P755 - Back Up And Restore Windows 7

    Hi,
    My harddrive is about to fail on my Windows 7 Satellite P750; I have been getting warnings of an impending failure for a month now. I have purchased a new harddrive and it is ready to go, however I am unable to create a backup and restore point. I am getting an error 0x81000037: "Shadow files cannot be read".
    Let me give you some of the history of my machine before getting to the issue. Windows 7 came preinstalled on this machine. About a year ago I created a new partition and installed Linux. Linux then took over the boot responsibilities. A couple of weeks ago I deleted the Linux partition. This gave me a problem as the computer was unable to boot. Fortunately I had recently created a back up and restore point, and during the process I was asked if I wanted to create a Windows 7 Home Premium Repair Disc. I was able to use this CD to access a command line tool which made the machine bootable again.
    However, I no longer have a hidden boot partition on my machine (at least according to the Disk Management snap-in I don't). I am now getting the above error when I attempt to create a new backup and restore point. I no longer have a copy of the previous back up and restore point (I deleted it to make room for a new one).
    From my research, apparently one of the possible causes of the error 0x81000037 is related to the hidden boot partition size. Since i do not have the hidden boot partition I fear that this could be the cause.
    There are other possible reasons for this error. For example a virus which anti-virus refuses to allow access to during the back up and restore partition, and junction points in the drives to be backed up which are mounted volumes. I have run a full scan on my computer and cannot find any threats. I have checked my junction points (of which there are a few) and none are mounted drives.
    This leads me to suspect that the lack of a boot partition is the problem. I have seen some people in forums suggest that it is best to back up all my data in the traditional manner (already done, since you ask), install the new harddrive and then install Windows 7 again.
    So finally, we get to my question!
    As Windows 7 came installed on my machine, I believe that I do not have the disks to reinstall it on a new harddrive. Is this correct? Am I able to obtain a copy?
    To be honest I wouldn't mind reinstalling Windows on a new harddrive, rather than using a back up and restore point. I have a LOT of programs and rubbish which have accumulated in this one over the last (almost) 3 years.
    Thanks for your patience. If there are some specifics which would be helpful, but which I have left out (I am sure there are) please let me know.

    >As Windows 7 came installed on my machine, I believe that I do not have the disks to reinstall it on a new harddrive. Is this correct? Am I able to obtain a copy?
    You did not get any disks because Toshiba provides own recovery disk creator software which is always preinstalled on the new notebooks.
    This recovery disk or media creator tool creates Recovery disk which can be used to recover the notebook.
    It was a big mistake not to create such disk however, you have a possibility to order such disk here:

  • Satellite P750: Unable to install Bluetooth Stack driver on Windows 7 (x64)

    Hello.
    I own a *Satellite P750-02T* (Part no. *PSAY3A-02T001*).
    In the order what I did:
    1) I formatted its HDD and reinstalled OS to *Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1*.
    Then I downloaded *ONLY BIOS and the drivers* from [its Downloads page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] :
    2) I updated its BIOS to *v1.90* (the laptop came with v1.80)
    3) I installed all the drivers:
    - both LAN and WiFi
    - Intel Chipset (latest available)
    - all video drivers (Intel HD Graphics, NVIDIA Graphics, and Intel HDMI)
    - Card Reader
    - Realtek HD Audio (latest)
    - Synaptics Touchpad
    - USB3.0
    - IR
    - TV-Tuner
    However, I'm *unable to install the Bluetooth driver (v8.00.06(T)* )...
    When I run setup from the [above-mentioned page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] it partially detects *'Bluetooth USB Controller-10 from TOSHIBA'* (USB\VID_0930&PID_0215&REV_001)
    and then installation simply freezes displaying +'Installing the Bluetooth Driver. Please wait+.' and stays like that forever...
    I also tried downloading a driver from [another location|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download-toshiba] for TOSHIBA notebooks - v8.00.02(T):
    and followed installation instructions displayed under 'Details'
    but there was the same outcome - the setup simply freezes...
    Installing Hotfix (*KB978258*) recommended there didn't work either - the message '+The update is not applicable to your computer+' pops up.
    And I understand why - this Hotfix is [already included|http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/B/A/EBA55FE2-373A-4351-9346-6D762B79AA69/Updates%20in%20Win7%20and%20WS08R2%20SP1.xls] into Service Pack 1 for MS Windows 7.
    I spent hours searching on the Internet for a solution. Although there were some similar cases none of the recommendations actually worked. I tried installing:
    - WiFi driver before installing Bluetooth (someone suggested that those two are the parts of the same card);
    - resuming installation in Safe Mode;
    - *Toshiba Value Added Package* hoping those tools somehow will kick in.
    Nothing worked...
    It's interesting that when for the sake of experiment I tried to run installation for my generic Bluetooth adapter (using the driver [for non-TOSHIBA notebooks|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download]) then everything run smoothly!
    *Using Bluetooth connection on this laptop is very crucial for me.*
    I hope I shall not have to return this wonderful notebook as I know TOSHIBA is one of the best manufactures and am sure there is a solution to this problem.
    Thank you very much.
    Evgeny.

  • Win7 install with multiple/all the FAILS! Satellite P750 (PART NO. PSAY3A-02T001)

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite P750 (PART NO. PSAY3A-02T001)
    Installing: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64 bit)
    Background: Laptop is around 2-3 years old now. Formatting and installing a fresh copy of Win7. Doing this for a close friend.
    Issue #1: Using the "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool" off the microsoft website, I attemped to install Win7 via USB drive (had so many issues before using this tool ). It boots to USB perfectly and starting going through the installation options. When it gets to "Where do you want to install Windows?"  (creating and seleting HDD partitions) I hit a major road-block!
    p.s. USB in USB2.0 as I originally tried 3.0 and coudln't even make it that far....
    I get the Error "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing systm partition. See the Setup log files for more information." Basically the Primary disk is created but the system disk wont.
    p.s. The HDD still does show up and worked before this all. it's not a failed HDD.
    I've tried (most of these were "Fixes" I found on forums that never worked):
    1. Creating different size partitions, multiple partitions, leaving GB's of "Unallocated Space" hoping it will create a system partition. Didn't work.....
    2. Formating the whole HDD using Command-line and wiping it completely clean. Honestly, this was stupid because now I cannot even go back! Didn't work.....
    3.Changing BIOS settings and praying it will work. Most of the BIOS settings these fixes told me to change, aren't actaully on this Toshiba model. I even restart to default settings. Didn't work....
    4. Even tried a "load Drivers" fix I found. The fix asked for a SATA driver, but I got every driver just incase. Not a single driver even appeared on the "Select the driver to be installed" screen. Unticked the "hide drivers.." box also... So that didn't work either...
    At this point I was pretty mad so I went and purcahsed some DVD-RW's to burn the ISO onto and try that instead.
    Issue #2: Using the same tool as before, I installed Win7 onto a DVD. I then ran the DVD on my PC to test and the setup.exe showed up. I then put the DVD in the Toshiba laptop and using F12 to select "ODD        TSSTcorp CDDVDw TS-L633F" (the other options were "HDD/SSD, USB and LAN).
    p.s. The DVD drive lights up and I can hear it reading the disc (normal slight humm).
    I then get:
    "Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 083)
    Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
    This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:

    PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
    Reboot and Select proper Boot device
    or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Device and Press a key_"
    To me, this is the LAN controller boot, but it didn't even read the disk.
    I've tried (and again, most of these were "Fixes" I found on forums that never worked):
    1. Changing Boot priorities and settings. I even tried to disable LAN boot in BIOS (but you cannot on this model). Didn't work..
    2. Yelling at it and holding myself back from hitting it with a hammer. Still attempting..
    3. Praying to a higher power. Didn't work...
    Ideas I have left that may work:
    1. Downloading and burning a different ISO. maybe even trying 32bit. (was 64bit before starting)
    2. Waiting for someone much smarter than me to reply on this post and help me!
    3. Telling my friend that "It's not my problem, while I run off into the sunset!"
    PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! This is doing my head in!
    and yes, I've tried turning it off and on again 

    oh my **bleep**ing god...... I am so mad right now! 95% butthurt infact!
    MY RAGE IS STRONG!
    Just found out off the owner that the DVD drive doesn't work.. 
    SO! The DVD drive doesn't work and it seems like the only way to install Win7. I have a feeling that this model doesn't do USB very well....
    will an external DVD drive work for this? or some I find someone with a toshiba that has the same model dvd drive inside and swap them for an hour while I do it...
    or should I try LAN... havn't one LAN install in a home environment before..

  • Windows thinking Ctrl key is stuck on Satellite P750

    Yes, I've done some thorough googling and searching of this forum before posting.  No prior topic quite resembles my problem; and the solutions don't help.  Sticky keys box in the Control Panel is unchecked, not using any aides--the computer is brand new with barely anything installed and zero customization.
    Using my Satellite P750 (purchased just in October 2011), every once in a while after simply using Firefox or Chrome (either one)--using nothing but the mouse pad and the left mouse button--the size of the font of the text in the browser randomly increases, and after that the computer starts thinking the Ctrl key is being held down.  (Ctrl +Alt + Del does nothing, only rebooting the machine).  I realize that I'm inadvertently toggling some function, but what?  Looking around Control Panel, nothing seems to be close to "if user moves curser, increase font size and make the Ctrl key stuck".
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Solved!

    Thanks, had the same problem with brand new Toshiba Laptop.
    Ours also had external mouse attached. With OS thinking CTRL key stuck, Excel went ape and began doing all manner of evil upon a very complex spreadsheet we were working on.

  • Satellite P750 - Shutdown issue after removal of external monitor USB 3 hub

    Have operated my Satellite P750 laptop with external DeII monitor for a year or more now.
    Monitor has a Usb 3 hub. (i have some ext HDD plugged into these. So far no issues. I unplugged the monitor usb hub from laptop (to create wndows image backup straight through the sole usb3 port on laptop.
    After this finished i found that i was unable to shutdown or restart laptop. It gets to the light blue 'shutting down' screen; HDD light flashes for 5/10 secs then it stops accessing disk with power still on and stuck at blue shutdown screen; laptop even sounds like it shuts down.
    Two things, i can hold down power button till hard stop, then press again to restart, and all is fine; no error messages when win 7 start up again. Or i have once just left it sitting without holding power button- it seemed to be like this for about 4 hours (monitor went to standby cause idle) before powers down.. When i start laptop after this i get windows warning failed to shut down properly.
    It took me a while to work out which device was causing the issue; but can now replicate any time.
    So - unplug monitor usb hub from laptop; laptop fails to shut down/restart.
    Replug DeII usb hub back to laptop; no problem laptop back to normal shut down.
    Any ideas??? (this means whenever i go portable with laptop i have to hard shut down/ hold power key to turn it off????)

    To be honest I dont know why the system cannot shut down properly without connected USB monitor hub but system shut down issues are mostly related to some processes which are running in the background.
    Sometimes such processes are locked and could not be closed due to different reasons. This may prevent the system from shut down
    Maybe this is the case
    Try to clean the system as well as the registry using CCleaner (its freeware tool).
    You should also check what processes are running in the background maybe one of this processes is related to the hub which cause your shut down problem
