Tecra R10-10J 3G broadband problem

I've got a new Toshiba Tecra R10-10J
I don't manage to make 3G work.
I've inserted my 3G SIM card in the slot (behind the battery)
Toshiba 3G F3507G broadband appears three times in device manager (network card, modem, and com port)
However, When I start wireless manager, the 3G device doesn't get recognized!
Thanks For your help
Regards

thanks for your reply,
yes it is toshiba wireless manager 5 that I'm starting.
I made a new tryal in order to answer your question, but now it works !!
I don't know why, because the only thing I've made since the other day is to reboot many times (using my computer), nothing was changed in the mean time.
Thanks for your Help.

Tecra R10 - Unusual TFT screen problem

My Tecra has developed a problem where a column of pixels will appear to shimmer. Pressing on the bevel directly beneath the affected screen area fixes the problem but temporarily. Seems like something is loose - but what?
Some things I have noticed/tried:
- Happens in different OSes and even on the boot screen
- Does not appear on external monitor
- Is not heat related
- Happens in different parts of the screen (although one section is particularly prone to it)
- Typically affects a section of the screen abot 3-4cm wide and goes from bottom to top of the screen
Any ideas/thoughts?
Thanks...

I've had this issue, and it is definately something that is loose inside.
It started on the right hand side of the screen, annoying, but I lived with it for ages. Then one day I managed to accidentally kick my screen, and the problem completely disappeare.
Only to begin to reappear dead centre.
Its starts a small shimmer, and gets worse over time, - it seems like there is something that is sticking to a contact somewhere in the screen.
I've now just tried to fix the shimmer in the middle of the screen by applying a similar 'kick', but of course have made the shimmer significantly worse. And it's in the middle which is really not very helpful.
I'm going to investigate if I can take the screen apart and find the culprit, - if the problem can move around with a tap, it's definately something loose in there....

Tecra R10-14C - Very slow start up

Hello All
I have Tecra R10-14C and with recover software Windows Vista business 32 bit all the time when I turn on the notebook it takes a long time (from 15m to 25m) to start Windows, just in turn on notebook. But when I restart the notebook from Windows is is normal startup.
I try to install Windows Vista through Toshiba HD Recovery software, and the same problem. The problem when turn on after shutdown, but in restart case is normal boot and very fast.
Please help me

The BIOS screen can be passed properly but it hangs on windows booting screen for 20min. But this does not happen while booting the notebook for a second time
Hmm strange
My first idea was that some background processes are running in the background or tries to load at the beginning of the booting process. But usually this should happen also while booting the notebook for a second time.
So its a little bit strange
Theoretically it could be also a HDD malfunction. Maybe some bad sectors on the HDD cause this
You could try to test the HDD using a Drive Fitness Test software.
Google for Drive Fitness Test and you should be able to download this tool.
Its a bootable disk which allows you to test the HDD.
If some error would be detected, then this means that HDD is not fully ok and maybe a HDD replacement would be needed.

Update BIOS Failed on Tecra R10 with Windows7

Hello,
I have problems with updating the BIOS of my Tecra R10J. The current version is 1.4, and I want to update it to 3.0, so i have downloaded from Toshiba web site the correct file named "P006Cv300.exe" released from 11/04/2009. This is a BIOS update ONLINE into a real session of Windows 7. Simply, right click the compress exe, click run as admin and that's all but ......... for me it said :
*"[Error] The starting of service was aborted. User does not have administrator privileges"*
see below :
http://perso.orange.fr/100mo/bioserror.jpg
I've tried it with :
- closed AV, Firewall, etc ...
- disable UAC
- Run as administrator
- Tried with an another admin account
- Safe mode (bios update does not support safe mode)
- direct local administrator session
No change. Still the message "User does not have administrator privileges".
Need help please, found nothing on Google (similar Bios problem but not solved !!!!!)
Thank you

Hi and thanks for your reply.
Yes my Tecra was delivered with Vista and not 7 but the bios update i've downloaded is "os independant". I can't believe that i must reinstall Vista for successful upgrading BIOS !! It's a joke ?
When i download the bios update on Toshiba website i choose "Tecra R10" and "Windows 7 64 bits" and then donwloaded the corresponding file.
Now I 've installed VAP, reboot notebook and now i have always the same error *but i found these errors in the eventviewer immediately after executing bios update* :
+\SystemRoot\SysWow64\Drivers\Aspi32.SYS has been blocked from loading due to incompatibility with this system. Please contact your software vendor for a compatible version of the driver.+
and
+The Aspi32 service failed to start due to the following error: This driver has been blocked from loading+
and
+The NCHGBIOS2SVC service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.+
Any idea ?
Thank you ;)

Tecra R10-10W - Crashes with nVidia display driver

Dear Sirs,
I bought my new Tecra R10-10W two days ago. I used the Recovery Disc to set Windows XP.
However, I receive blue screens randomly. I turned on "Verifier" tool and I received: IO System Error in wmiaci.sys. Error 20e at B9B8752F. I suspected the nVidia driver and unistalled it. The problem dissappeared. But when I try to install from your site the appropriate driver: display-20081110130507.zip the system crashes blue with the same error.
Please help me.

Hi
Thats really strange, buddy
Hmm, I think before you install the display driver you should clean your system using CCleaner. This freeware tool removes old driver files and cleans the registry. Then restart the notebook install the newest driver from the official Toshiba website.
By the way, did you also update the BIOS? You can find it on the Toshiba website too. :)

Tecra R10 - How to remove the HDD?

Is there a description available hoe to remove a harddisk in a Tecra R10 and plugin a new harddisc?

Hi buddy,
As far as I know the HDD is placed under the notebook cover and therefore a lot of parts must be removed like CD drive, keyboard, base assy, etc.
In my opinion its a tricky procedure and should only be done from a notebook technician because a lot of screws must be removed as well.
Is current HDD defective or why you want to exchange it?

Tecra R10-10W - Can't create partition during installation

I got Tecra R10-10W and I switched from Vista to XP. I used Windows XP Toshiba recovery disk for this.
I was not able to create partition on hdd during the installation.
I wonder did I miss something?
How can I split my hdd into 2 parts? Should I re-install XP for it?
Please help me?
Thanks,
Alper

Hi!
As Akuma wrote its not possible to create or change HDD partitions during the Toshiba recovery installation.
The Toshiba recovery disk contains an image of factory settings and after this you can change the partition size yourself.
I also use Partition Magic and it works really good. If you dont have this tool you can Google for a freeware tool. ;)
Bye

Tecra R10-10a poor speaker quality

Hi,
I just bought a tecra r10-10a which performs perfectly. My only complain is an *extremely poor sound quality* coming out from the built-in speakers. I'm not complaining about lack of bass frequencies, which is unavoidable for that size, but of severe clipping distortion in the mid-hi freq range even at the lowest volume settings.
It's simply much worse than my former cheaper acer notebooks. You just can't listen to music.
I also noticed than pressing firmly against the case on top of the speakers I managed to supress a noisy ressonance near 2kHz.
I wonder if this quality is expected in a Tecra notebook sound system, of if someone of you could suggest me some kind of trick to avoid that (?)
Thanks in advance

Hi
I think you compare the Tecra speakers with external speakers or the Harman/kardon speakers from Qosmio X300.
Tecra notebooks are not designed for multimedia and they are not a high end entertainment system. The notebooks are designed for the daily work and office usage.
A friend of me has a Tecra notebook and he is very satisfied with it. The quality is perfect.
Anyway, if you really think a better sound you should try to update the sound drivers and check the sound settings. Maybe there is a wrong sound environment activated that causes this poor sound.
Good luck!

The following links works fine though:

Ongoing phone and broadband problems

I have wrote below about my ongoing problems with BT. I am going to use this thread as a record and to refer others to because if I have to go over it one more time I fear my brain will melt. Advice appreciated.
Four months ago: Possibly/probably unrelated? I tried to make a phone call one day. The line was dead. Borrowed neighbour's phone as I thought I had a problem with the phone set itself but the line was dead with the neighbour's phone. The problem only lasted about a day. A few days later a BT engineer turned up. Installed a new face-plate over my phone socket.
Three months ago: I've had a broadband speed of 20 megabit for about 18 months. Then 3 months ago that speed starts to get lower. First to 8 megabit. Then 4 megabit. I remember one day doing 5 different speedtests* and getting just over 1 megabit on all 5. That's not the only problem. Whenever I get an incoming call or make an outgoing call my broadband is disconnected. This is happening 100% of the time and is still happening.
Two months ago: Phoned BT. After about 80 minutes on the phone I'm told it looks like the problem is our (BT) end. I was told I would receive a phone call the next day. I got that phone call and was told my connection would be back to 20 megabit in a couple of days. It never happened. Even as I was being told my connection would be back to 20 megabit in a couple of days I didn't have any faith in what I was being told. Maybe just something in the tone of the person I was speaking to gave me that feeling.
A few weeks ago. Some Scottish guy from BT calls me trying to sell BT Vision. I said 'no' and took the chance to tell the guy of my ongoing problems.
Background info: I have been at my current address and had a BT account for about 10 years. I just need to drop back maybe 4-5 years now when I was told by BT, over the phone, that I would be receiving a BT Home Hub (BTHH). I didn't ask for it. I already had a Netgear modem/router. That BTHH never turned up. I wasn't really annoyed about not getting a BTHH. I was angry that I didn't get a letter/phone call explaining why. Then about a year later I was on the phone to BT and mentioned that I had been told that I would receive a BTHH but it never turned up. This time I was 'promised' that I would receive a BTHH. Again it (BTHH) or a letter/phone call explaining why it wasn't being sent never happened.
Back to the BT Scottish guy I told the Scottish guy about my lack of a BTHH and finally I get an answer. Apparently I need a 12 month contract. I told him I couldn't commit to a 12 month contract right now as recently I have taken a dip in my income. One morning a few days later and a BTHH arrives from the postman. I unpack it but just before plugging it in I remember the phone call with the Scottish guy and so I just put the BTHH away in a cupboard where it still is. Plugging it in would mean committing to a 12 month contract.
I've now learnt this morning from BT that apparently I have committed to a 12 month contract early September which would be around the time of the Scottish BT guy phone call. Clearly there's been some mis-communication between the Scottish guy and myself.
23 September In an attempt at trying a different route to solve my problems I put in a complaint. It turned out to be quite a wall of text which I hate giving to anybody but there's so much to go over. By the way since 20th September my download speed is 0.25 megabit. My upload is faster!
29 September I received a phone call from BT and the person that phoned started to tackle my broadband issues. By this time I'm seriously thinking of putting in a complaint about how complaints are dealt with. Basically in that 23rd Sept. email I went over everything which I'm telling you guys about now. I also told them that I understood a 12 month contract, which I couldn't commit to, was needed for the BTHH but as I have one sitting idle in a cupboard here at home and I've been with BT for at least 10 years and I've been told (promised) that I would receive a BTHH twice over the years (when I didn't even ask for one!) then how about letting me have it. Or at least plugging it in to see if that resolves the problems as that might even save BT having to send out an engineer.
30 September The lady I spoke to on the 29th told me somebody would phone the next day. By now I have deja-vu of what happened two months back. I got the phone call earlier which was how I found out that apparently I committed to a 12 month contract early September. The guy said I should probably speak to accounts first so I'm waiting for a call from them now.
This has all turned into a convoluted mess that could of been solved two months ago. I have a BTHH which I can't use but which might solve my problem (although if it does I don't understand why as my Netgear modem/router does work). I'm very tempted to switch providers but maybe my problem still needs to be looked at by BT even if I was with another provider? My bill is now overdue and whilst I can't commit to a 12 month contract I do have the money for the latest bill. But would you pay for an internet of 0.25 megabit which should be 20 megabit? Or a phone that dis-connects your broadband.
The overall annoying thing about this is how my email complaint was handled. The complaint(s) need to be tackled as a whole. I have a couple of friends and have read many stories of people phoning BT and then after complaining they get some deals. Now whoever read my complaint, and I have a copy which I can provide, should of seen that I'm clearly 'in limbo' so to speak and said either 'keep the BTHH' or 'we may need you to send the BTHH back but for now try connecting it up to see if that resolves the problems'. Instead it looks like my email was read and then passed onto the broadband department. The lady who phoned on the 29th thought I was using the BTHH even though she had my email in front of her. I know that as she quoted a couple of lines from it. The guy who phoned this morning also thought I was using the BTHH.
All that's needed now is for BT to dis-connect me for an unpaid bill! I personally feel that I should get some compensation for such a poor connection over the last 4 months.
For all speed tests I used the BT wholesale one apart from*

Here's some screengrabs from BT wholesale taken at various times.
After that a couple of screens from my Netgear taken today.
I did run Routerstats Lite over a few days when this started. However I don't know what to look for in Routerstats which might be the problem.

A persistent Broadband problem

Dear BT,
Posted this earlier in another thread, thought I would start fresh thread for this, as my post was conflicting with another customers post.
I have been experiencing chronically poor Broadband speed since around mid December last year, and I can’t get the problem resolved.
It is extremely frustrating. My Download Speed is for the most part around 136 kbps, though the upload speed is stable at around 250kbps, what ever my very varible download speed happens to be.
I have had numerous visits from ‘OpenReach’ since I first reported the problem back in December last year. When the first engineer called, ironically the speed had improved and I was getting a download speed of around 600 kbps. He tested the line and said it was good and could find no problems.
The improvement continued for a couple of day, then the speed gradually reduced back to a very poor state of around 136kbps. At this stage I did notice intermittent phone line noise, this would come and go, completely clear some days, then another day it would be very bad. In my opinion the weather conditions were not to blame as the intermittent line interference continued whatever the weather conditions, be it good or poor.
Just before Easter I reported a line problem as a voice fault.
Last Tuesday 6th April another engineer came to check noise on the phone line, frustratingly when he called the phone line was perfect and my Broadband speed and improved considerably. He found no problems with my line at all. For a couple of days the line was good, Broadband speed was between, 500kbps and 960 kbps.
He did say intermittent faults were the worst to pin down, and he said it would be better if the line completely failed, then it would be easy to trace, the only problem with that, I could be waiting months or even years for the line to fail.
Now again the speed has dropped out again, back to around 136kbps, there has been some slight interference on the line also. I am sure the noise is the cause, but frustratingly, each time I report it, the checks all say nothing is wrong with my line.
I have done all the usual checks on my equipment. My rooter is not at fault, as I have changed it, changed filters and also changed my phone this week. I am completely at a loss what to do!!
Also my rooter is connected directly in to the main BT box, so that rules out any internal wiring problems.
My broadband package is BT Total Broadband Option 3, so I can access BT FON, but I am unsure of the rules regarding this service as an alternative.
I would be pleased if my ongoing problem could be finally resolved. Finally below is the latest speed test, taken around 11:30am today, 11th April 2010.
Download speed achieved during the test was - 101 Kbps For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 50-250 Kbps. Additional Information: Your DSL Connection Rate :160 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM) IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps

Solved!

Hi, Chris, Roger, or anyone at BT,
I am back, after doing all the above, I am sad to report that my Broadband speed has just gone form bad to worse.
Below is a log over the last week or so.
Broadband log
· 14th tested voice line from BT test socket with filter and rooter: Line seems ok.
14th April 2010: Plugged new BT filter and rooter directly in to BT test socket. No improvement of BB speed. Download speed = 120kbps. Can now hear a distinct background hiss on voice line now the router is active. Changed filters, (4 different types) no improvement. (Filter is installed correctly. )
15th After 24 hours download speed improved to 640kbps. At around 16:00hrs, ASDL signal dropped out, 2 mins later when ASDLS signal re-connected, the download speed immediately dropped all the way back to 120kbps and stayed there for the rest of the day.
· 16th: BB speed very poor all day, stuck at 136kbps, still continuous background hiss on voice line.
· 17th: BB speed continues to be very poor, 120kbps, continues loud hiss on voice line.
· 18th: BBs a consistently poor 136kbps. Background hiss continues.
· 19th: ditto
· 20th: ditto
To day at 19:30 hrs, BST, voice line very bad, continuous interference, ASDL disconnecting continually. Obviously this noise on the line is the cause of the problem, but getting and engineer here when the line is bad, seems to be impossible, as every time one has called the interference goes away. Can anyone suggest where I go from here, because engineers have failed to correct my problem, see above posts, this has been going on now since last Early December last year. I am paying for a premium for a terrible BB and Telephone service.
Regards
Paul

Broadband problems since April 2012

Hi
Is there ANY way of getting someone to sort out the line problems we have had since April this year? We have called pretty much every week since then, got the Indian call centre evdery time and complained about the 'noise' on the line and the frequent drop outs of broadband.... Each time we're told that the problem is being dealt with and then it is fixed and then, lo and behold it rains AGAIN and once more we have no broadband. We have noted down the last 12, yes twelve, occasions we have complained and been assured everything is fine now... and yet it isn't!
Any suggestions apart from just chucking in the towel and closing the account?
Jon

Hi Jon. Welcome to the forums.
The issue sounds like a perished outer casing for your telephone wires into the house, since the problem is a noisy line when it rains.
Any line test done when the conditions are dry will invariably not show up any problem - hence the possible reasons that the issue hasn't been progressed.
Contact BT Faults on 151 saying you have a noisy line when it rains, but don't mention broadband.
