Toshiba qosmio F20 Keeps Freezing

Ok, I am no computer expert but I can generally get by and half know my way around a computer.
I bought a Qosmio F20 around 3.5yrs ago and it has been a real trooper. I ran the machine ragged since I bought the thing and it has only just started to let me down.
The machine started freezing up around 2 months ago, I would turn it on and if I got passed the windows screen onto the desktop after a while it would just freeze and then the fan would start going mental until I turned it off.
Firstly I got all the stuff I needed from the HD and then restored back to factory settings. Did not work started freezing again.
Must be a hardware problem right?
Just another note, the battery is knackered and works for like 20 seconds.
Any advice would be great guys, all in all I know I have to buy a new laptop soon but I am quite fond of this one and can't afford a new one yet.
Thanks

Yuo should test the hard drive and memory for the freezing problem. Batteries generally start to degrade after a year or so. Run "Drive Fitness Test" on the hard drive and "Memtest86" on the memory.

Where to download Toshiba Utilities and Drivers after a clean install?

My new Qosmio X500 is very sluggish just after booting and I want to do a clean install to remove completely the unnecessary software (Norton, MS Office Trial, some Tishiba Utilities) but I want to make sure I can still find and install the utilities (HDD Protection, fingerprint scanner, etc) I do want as well as the drivers for all the components (Webcam, bluetooth, hot keys)
These things dont come on disc anymore and the "downloads" page on mytoshiba point to nothing at all
Please help! I wanted to do this today but cant even call anyone as it is Sunday here :(

If you want to have faster notebook you must not make clean OS installation. Just remove all stuff you don't need and also disable certain applications to start with Windows.
The whole thing is matter of OS configuration.
Please note that Toshiba recovery image is tested and all hardware components will work properly. With your clean OS installation it can happen you will have some strange issues.

Questions about remote control and infrared port Qosmio F20

Hi again,
My Toshiba Qosmio F20 comes with a remote control funcioning through a infrared device on the front of the computer.
Regarding this I have 2 questions:
1. How do I configure additonal functionality through the remote control? (Like launching and controlling Winamp?)
2. How do I connect other devices, like my cellular phone, pdas etc., to the infrared device on my computer?
Kind regards,
Vegard

Hi,
the Remote Control delivered with the Qosmio F20 is designed only for Windows XP Media Center Edition (all Remote Control's which are designed for Windows XP Media Center Edition work only with Media Center or Windows Media Player). Other program's like Winamp were not supported by these Remote Control's.
I believe, the Remote Control's are made by Microsoft and for a wide palette of product's (the Infrared Transceiver is on nearly all Media Center PC's e.g. Siemens-Fujitsu, the same). So it's a little bit tricky to support more program's then Media Center or Windows Media Player.
For other program's you need a second Remote Control like this one:

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).

Re: Qosmio F20 - No sound card driver on Toshiba support site

I had to format my HDD in my Qosmio F20-137. Then I have reinstalled operative system (XP) and all drivers I found on Toshiba support site. But I can't find any driver for the sound card and thus my PC is now soundless (except the beeps from the PC speaker).
Where do I find the right driver?
Regards
Pellegram

It is very easy to find the driver. You must search in archive and check for drivers listed for WXP MCE.
Anyway, the right sound driver you can find HERE .
Please send some feedback if everything is ok.

Toshiba must have or should have provided you with a CD/DVD and seril number with the machine. however, if PSe is freezing then the first thing you need to try is to reset it to default settings. This can be done in two ways but the easiest ay to do is to go to (I am mentioning only the one method here):
<C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\11.0\Editor>
Find the file called: Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Prefs.psp and rename it to: Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Prefs.old
For username you need to insert the correct username or Windows profile name. Also, when you are doing this, make sure PSE is closed completely i.e. you should not have it open to do any work.
I am assuming you know how to browse the relevant folders if they are hidden in the system because this is taken for granted here. Also, the file names may not have any extensions but I am sure you know how to make them display on the screen.
Good luck.

Where to download the latest firmware for Toshiba TL938G

Can anyone give me a link where to download the latest firmware for TL938G?
I want to update with USB stick
Thanks

Sorry mate, it seems that the link provided in my first post does not work anymore
however I found the firmware update v7.0.27.14.1 but for Model: *40TL938F*
http://www.dl.toshiba.com/tsb-dtv/NA/GB/EN/40TL938F.html
but this is firmware is released ONLY for TV devices released in France.
The suffix code F means France
If you cannot find the firmware for your TV device, this means that such firmware is not available or can be updated only via network update.

Need WXP MCE drivers for Qosmio F20

Hi everyone.
I recently reloaded the OS on a clients Qosmio F20 (PQF20A-00D00C). They didn't have any recovery disks and I didn't make any recovery disks (as per a KB article I found later - not that I recall any such menu item).
I am looking for the drivers for such a laptop but the Toshiba site only has drivers for LAN, WLAN and bluetooth. I can't see any for audio, vga, chipset etc.
Any idea where I can find such drivers for XP MCE(Pro)?
Cheers.

Hay
I don't have time to check all this but I think all drivers for WXP MCE should be available on Toshiba download page under http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/
You can also try to find missing drivers on European Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp (Product type > Archive). I presume there is no big difference between Australian and European Qosmio F20.
Try to find drivers you can use with WXP MCE.

Qosmio F20 blue screen of death after shutdown

Hi there,
I get the blue screen of death after shutdown on my Qosmio F20 laptop.
Error is IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
I assume that it is somehow related to tv tuner card.
I have tried to restore system - no good. After restoration for some time it was OK. But then BSOD appeared again.
Sometimes it also appears when I connect USB HDDs or even when I insert DVD disk.
And for shure everytime I shut laptop down.
Has anybody got ideas?

Hi
Reading you last message I really dont know what you expect from this forum ?:|
We all here can provide only some suggestions and opinions.
Without any notebook tests and checks nobody will be able to provide a magic solution
I hope you understand this.
So back to the notebook issue.
There is a one way to find out if the issue could be related to the software or hardware.
You have to reinstall the notebook with the Toshiba recovery CD. If the same BSOD will appear after the installation from the recovery CD then the chance are that the hardware is faulty!
I think you should check this out.

Qosmio G30 TV tuner problem

Dear All,
Notebook Model: Toshiba Qosmio G30
I have formatted notebook and installed Windows XP pro, I did my best installed all drivers and programs. I began to test notebook, I have seen one problem TV tuner. As we know before in notebook was Windows Media center edition. There we can easily use TV tuner with default soft.
My question is that, in WINXP PRO, how can I use TV tuner? Antenna cable and other issues already solved. When I am pressing TV button in notebook no reaction. Please assist me to use TV tuner. In Drivers CD I have installed all drivers and programs, but still no reaction.
Waiting your feedbacks!

Hello guys
It is very interesting discussion and I just want to write my comment about that.
I dont know Ilyas what are you doing and for what is your company specialized but I dont agree with you. I will not write now about Toshiba notebook but about notebooks generally because all notebooks manufacturers have the almost the same policy.
All notebooks have sticker where is written Designed for Windows XP. That means all of them MUST work well with this OS. Microsoft has designed media center edition for multimedia units that allow watching TV and also many other functions. Notebook manufacturers are responsible for own hardware and it MUST work under WXP (in this case media center edition). You have bought MULTIMEDIA notebook and after first start I believe it was everything ready for use. Am I right? Or you have found something dont want to work?
Every manufacturer (electronic, card or something else) support just delivered product. If you make some changes and there is no original condition you can not expect the product manufacturer is responsiblefor that. Last week I bought sport outside mirror for my car. It doesnt match 100%. What you think, who is responsible for this, car producer or tuning-company? Car manufacturer is not obligated to test all tuning parts available on the market. The same situation is if you use some third part applications and see it doesnt work properly with hardware.
Please be a little bit realistic about that. I am pretty sure you can configure your Qosmio G30 to work well with WXP Pro but you will discover that some functions can not work like with factory settings. Sorry but you must live with this. If you find out which application for watching TV works well please let me know.
Good luck!

Problems with a Qosmio F20/390L Network/Ethernet controller

I've got a problem with a Qosmio F20/390L from Japan, and I'm trying to get hold of the network drivers for it.
I've had a look on the US, UK and Japan sites, but I've had no luck. Can anyone tell me what you have in your machines if you can't tell me what I've got, so I can try my luck.
Thanks.

Qosmio F20 - Display problem, possible driver issue

Good afternoon,
I am in posession of a Qosmio F20 type notebook, which belongs to a friend. She told me that the screen went all matrix like then was just blank. She claims not to have installed any software or updates recently.
When it is turned on, the Qosmio logo on a black background appears, then a black screen with lots of white lines vertically down it appears. It then brings up the Windows XP logo, but this time with green lines appearing vertically down the screen, a bit matrix style I guess! After this the screen goes completely blank, and the laptop will either reboot itself, or occasionaly I can hear it boot into windows.
I can enter into safe mode and view everything fine. If I uninstall the driver, it works fine and boots in as normal, then prompts me for a display driver. As soon as I install the driver which I have downloaded from the Toshiba website (NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600), and reboot, the same problem occurs. If I install the driver then choose not to reboot, it is ok. But as soon as I go into display settings and try and change anything, the screen goes instantly blank again.
I tried rolling back to an older driver which was dated 29/08/2005 v7.8.9.2, but still the same problem.
Can anyone suggest a possible solution for this? Or is there an issue with this driver that I am not aware of? The OS is Windows XP Media Center SP2. It has been working fine until yesterday morning apparently.
Many thanks

Hi
Hmm... really bad situation. As far as I know the warranty cannot be exchanged after an hardware problem.
The motherboard replacement is not cheap! You will have to spend a lot of money to get the motherboard replaced.
As you know, the board is a most expensive notebook part!
Anyway, I presume only the authorized service provider would be able to replace the board and to help you.
Contact the guys in your country adn explain the situation:
Here the database with all ASP's worldwide!
