That lord nod guy is a scammer.
He runs around posting all over the place that he has the fix for all kinds of graphics card issues, and all he is doing is selling people a reverse engineered version of riva tuner that you can download for free.


He has been banned from a lot of forums, including the US Toshiba forum where I am a user moderator.

Good info Priest! Thank you for letting us know

So anyone knows about my current problem? Windows 7 ultimate 64bit. I have installed all drivers in the correct order. I have bios 1.80 but my brightness will not change when on the SLI mode. Windows vista works fine though. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I was thinking of what if I reset the bios. Though I have tried pressing the power button for 30secs without the battery (didn't do the trick). Anyone who has the SLI model and knows a way to fix it??

the solution for that is probably a clean instalation of w7. I have never had related problems, but i usually dont mess around with the brithness.
Anyway concerning my card overheating, it was due to a malfunctioning fan, i shouldve suspected since i have a toshiba

Tried a clean install still brightness function doesn't work! Actually doing a clean install was the 1st thing I did. I also reinstalled vista from the recovery discs and went through the windows 7 upgrade disc that toshiba provided (including auto install drivers). Clean install or toshiba upgrade none of the methods worked. I think its something in the bios. If only I could reset my bios...

Its definetly not a bios problem, i have the same model as you do, and the same bios version.

If it works on vista and not on w7 the problem is obvious, somewhere, somehow, you screwed up the instalation of w7, or maybe your disc is faulty.

I have 2 windows 7 discs. 1 is windows 7 premium and the other one is the ultimate. Both original discs 1 from toshiba and 1 from microsoft. Both same problem. So surely I did not mess any driver.. Yesterday I reformated to windows 7 ultimate and installed the drivers in the following order:
Chipset
Display driver
VAP
Flashcards
Toshiba Utilities
Still brightness cannot be adjusted while on the SLI config. If you think I messed up with the drivers or the order installing them then let me know which drivers and which order I should use and I will reformat.

PS this is the 2nd qosmio x300-14x I get from toshiba (the other one refused to turn up suddenly and it was said to be a bad motherboard). So they gave me the one from their showroom. On my previous laptop I had the same problem and bios 1.6 and updated to 1.8. This did the trick. Now I already have the 1.8 and thus cant update. So it has to be something with the bios...

he may be a hoax, but I paid the 25 dollars and his fix fixed my problem on mine and I haven't had a problem out of it since.

================================================

I just bought a 120gb SSD for my x350-q706 on newegg for 109.99 if anyone is interested. Today only I think, my question what did you guys use to transfer from the HDD to the SSD or did you just reinstall.

================================================

anyone have the problem of the ac adapter coming unplugged from the laptop all the time.

question. I don't think my laptop is using the 2nd 9800m gts at all. The temp never changes and I used the first post in this forum to OC them. The only clocks that change are the 9400m and the 9800m GTS? Can anyone tell me how I can find out if that second gts is bad.

As stated above go into nvidia control panel and choose set sli and phys x tab. Then at the top on the toolbar select 3d settings and select show sli indicator. Then run a game. If the sli indicator comes up then it means tha SLI is working. Moreover u need to have the new drivers for SLI to work with new games. If one of the 2 9800m doesnt work its quite expensive to change cz they are both on the same board... So u need a new GPU. Don't think it is worth changing it nowadays with all these high-tech notebook gpus around..

Hello, if anyone follows this forum. I have all the bios that were available for the qosmio x300 SLI version. Does anyone know if or how I can flash it back to any of the previous bios or even the latest one?
