Added on December 11, 2009, 4:43 pmTry to search through Lowyat Plaza, last time saw few repair shop out there, how much Toshiba cost you for changing a LCD screen?

This post has been edited by reevephon: Dec 11 2009, 04:43 PM

Is it available here? Looks very nice .

toshiba got L410? as far as i know got L310 and L510.
the notebook no more warranty already?

i think malaysia got Qosmio X500-D830 price around Rm7K

This post has been edited by lchen39: Dec 11 2009, 04:54 PM

Yeah, so far I know there is Qosmio X500-D830 at around RM7199, here the specs

Intel Core i7-720QM Processor 1.6Ghz Turbo Boost up to 2.8Ghz
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
4GB DDR3 SDRAM
GeForce GTS-250M
640GB

I think you shouldn't compare the price with oversea, those laptop's price from oversea haven't included with custom taxes.

i was confused how the extra free warranty works?is it automatically updated by Toshiba/Teledynamics itself or do we need to send reciept to Toshiba/Teledynamics for updating purpose???

if it's auto,then i should get 3 years warranty also since Teledynamics operator said that the current pcfair promo also applied to all dealer in Malaysia.

not sure izzit auto or not, coz last time i got a A200 send in to teledynamic for repair, i not purchase during pc fair, but the same month, so i just give the receipt, then they help me register 2nd and 3rd year warranty.

u got free extra warranty or buy the extended warranty?

i guess toshiba look at the date we registered the 1st year warranty,if it's around promo event then they process the free warranty(if any)..am i right?? i don't know~ weird~

Me also wait the seller to double confirm for me the 2nd and 3rd warranty. btw this friday de star newpaper got stated some model is with 3 year warranty is S4312 and S4314.

really?

picture?

This post has been edited by lan_86: Dec 12 2009, 03:39 AM

didn't buy the warranty, i think they follow pc fair brochure. cause i buy during december also.

ya if buy during pc fair month, S4312 and S4314 got free 2nd and 3rd year local warranty state in brochure.

For all your Warranty concern, I've double confirmed with Toshiba and Teledynamics, they said they are waiting the list of customer who purchased their laptop during PCFAIR from the authorized dealer. Once they got the list from reseller, they would update the warranty based on the list.

Ouch, that is pricey, I forgot about the taxes in Bolehland

hi all
can i ask wat is the usage for the 4 recovery disks?
i hv formatted to win7 ultimate x64, do i need to recover previous vista stuff into win7?
thanks

i think once you recover then it will go back to windows vista.

just got my L510-S4314 today

questions..

1)is it OK if we create recovery dics before updating windows?all in factory setting.

2)i've read somewhere that we need to create partition for os.what is that? is it like normal partitoning process?

This post has been edited by lan_86: Dec 12 2009, 09:50 PM

It's used to recover your system back to it's factory setting (format with driver installed).

as far as i know, recovery disk will only burn out the factory default windows, driver and toshiba application. it won't burn out windows update or personal files.
i think should create recovery disk as soon as possible lo....

This post has been edited by lchen39: Dec 12 2009, 10:00 PM

1) It's good to create your recovery disc during the 1st time of log on to windows.
2)It's up to you whether you want to create partition or not, creating partition is good for you to backup your data when you wanna format your laptop. For me, I don't create any partition since I have an external harddisk, so my data will be saved on there.

Added on December 12, 2009, 10:39 pmDo you guy has figured out on how to transfer my a file from my mobile phone through Toshiba Bluetooth, last time for my HP laptop, it used to be so easy to access for copy and paste purposes.

This post has been edited by reevephon: Dec 12 2009, 10:39 PM

for me toshiba is considered as good lappie

I'm owning a Toshiba L510-S438 Laptop, and has just upgraded my Windows from Vista to 7 through the Toshiba upgrade media kit, I'm having a doubt here, if let say I wanna recover my system back to original Windows 7 factory setting with all application and drivers installed, what should I do? Can I use F8 key recovery system to recover my system back to Windows 7 or it's only able to recover back to my Windows Vista version?

As I said earlier, my guess is that your recovery system partition will contain only Vista installation files. So, when you do recovery, you will recover to Vista, not Win7.

My suggestion is to do backup image copy of your current Win7, then try to recovery to see the result.

i think can try to ghost the windows 7 image first.
because once recover, it will back to vista.
if not mistaken, the upgrade kit enable you to upgrade to win7 in vista or fresh install windows 7.
so i don't think is a recovery disk.

Any good software to recommend for backup image windows? Never tried before for this kind of program.

more question

1)i choose 32bit of win7 instead of 64bit.i am confused if the recovery disc i've created is in 32bit or both?

2)where is recovery partition?i am scared if i accidently delete it

This post has been edited by lan_86: Dec 13 2009, 03:04 PM

The partition is hidden, so don't worry about it. You should created 32bit since you have chosen 32bit for your windows.

Acronis True Image / Backup & Recovery, Norton Ghost, Paragon Backup & Recovery.

1) it doesn't matter cos recovery disc contains 32-bit & 64-bit win7 installation files.

2) it's hidden, no need to worry unless u do full format of ur hard disk.

when you do a clean installation, u will c the hidden hdd partition
juz dont do anything on it

zhuan97, thank for your sharing...will confirm with Toshiba tomorrow, if there is no other way to recover my system other than format myself and install the driver myself, then I would do a backup and recovery using Paragon Backup & Recovery, just did a research about this software, found out it's easy to do so.

where is my RM100 shopping voucher??

seriously i am worried about the warranty i want that 2nd & 3rd year local warranty

i don't know which one should i trust teledynamics or seller

my warranty still not update to 3 years.. :S

Just contact Talk-2-Toshiba Technical Assistant, for L510-S438 model, there is only one way to recover your windows back to Windows 7 Home Premium with drivers and toshiba applcation installed is to recover your system using 0 key during boot and recover back to windows vista and perform again the Windows 7 Upgrade by the Upgrade Media Kit DVD.

do not know if the extended warranty will ever appear on the toshiba website. i spoke to teledynamics this morning and was told that it as it is a local warranty, it will not appear on our screen although they confirm that it is teledynamics 2 years extended warranty. i was told to fax a copy of the receipt to teledynamics. of course i am not happy with their response. well, it is most important that we check our receipt to ensure that the 2 years extended warranty is clearly stated.

reevephon, it is better that you get your receipt in proper order to reflect the extended warranty.

Added on December 14, 2009, 10:58 amreevephon, are u saying that it is no point doing Paragon Backup & Recovery? it was about to follow your foot step of doing the paragon...stuff.

This post has been edited by kjlee2: Dec 14 2009, 10:58 AM

Im just telling what the Toshiba Technical Assistant told me this morning regarding the Windows 7 Recovery.

---

Added on December 14, 2009, 1:58 pmRegarding the extended warranty, these are what I received from Teledynamics Assistant,

"Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for purchasing a new Toshiba laptop.

For the free 2 years warranty extension, we are waiting for all the dealers/resellers to compile and send us the list of units sold after PCFair has ended. Once we get this list, we will verify and then submit to Toshiba for updating.

Please be assured that your laptop is confirmed to be eligible for the free 2 years warranty extension promotion. Please check again at the website in approximately 4-6 weeks time.

Please do not hesitate to contact me further should you have any enquiries.

Thank You."

This post has been edited by reevephon: Dec 14 2009, 01:59 PM

0 key? or F8 key?

Well, my guess is correct, as the recovery partition will still contain only Vista files.

If you plan to skip the recovery & do clean install of Win7, please make sure you copy out the Toshiba Drivers & Applications folders, as you will need some of them for your Win7 and cannot be found at the links below.

You may find the Win7 drivers & applications here (32-bit/64-bit):

http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/..._L510_32_sp.htm
http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/..._L510_64_sp.htm

reevephon, extended warranty matter - is good that they have issued you a written reply. the guy at teledynamics whom i spoke to is Dennis (accordingly from pc warranty section)....i feel he is not correct. i believe they eventually update the extended warranty on their website.

So. there is nothing we can do other than waiting Toshiba receive the list of units sold during PCFAIR, and update the extended warranty for us.
It's great that you are able to reach your phone to Teledynamics, last week I've tried about 10 minutes, but it's still keep saying "Our Technical Assistant is currently busy"
Some more, I don't think the guy asked you to fax or send them your receipt in order to extend the warranty for you is the proper way, as there are quite a lot of customers who bought Toshiba laptop during PCFAIR III, if Teledynamics is using this way to extend the warranty for the PCFAIR promotion, I bet they would receive tons of e-mail or fax for just warranty extension, furthermore, how do they determine whether the laptop is bought from PCFAIR's authorized reseller? I think the best way is the reseller send them a list of units sold during PCFAIR with serial number for extend the warranty as this is the way that is being used by Teledynamics for updating the warranty extension.

---

Added on December 14, 2009, 3:53 pm0 key easier according to Toshiba Assistant, I've talked to them and requested them to differentiate the 0 key and F8 key for me, they said both would works for system recovery, but 0 key is easier with fewer steps whereas F8 need more steps for you to do system recovery. Toshiba recommend 0 key for doing system recovery with all Toshiba application and drivers installed.

Guys.. is this model (M500-S430) a new or old model?
RAM is running on 800MHz or 1066MHz?

It's a new model with DDR2 800 MHz.

What was the price during the last PC Fair? Was it RM3299 with 2 yrs warranty?
Also, any user with any feedback/review of this unit?
Thanks.

Yeah, it's RM3299 with 2 years Warranty, since it's new set, so I don't think there is any review on this laptop, try to google.

even if it's new I can't find it on the teledynamics website.. at least the S430 is not there..

i am planning to remove some of bloatware in my lappy,and keep that application(with pendrive) in case i wanted to use it in the future but i don't know where is the installer/setup .exe file

it's quiet tricky to unhidden the recovery partition and i don't know which dvd should i run to find that bloatware quiet scared to run the recovery dvd

maybe you can try C drive programfile toshiba, is that what you mean?
by the way, why you want to unhidden the recovey partition?



This post has been edited by lchen39: Dec 15 2009, 01:08 AM

does anyone notice the ram is running on 400mhz effective clock?

Normally should be 1066MHz right?

What unit is that?

its because the toshiba only using t6600 which has fsb 800mhz, which mean the ram only need to run at 400mhz x 2 =800mhz

Thanks lee.

ya, but cant adjust the ram speed in bios
searching for third party software to increase the speed...
felt abit disappointment cz not fully utilize DDR3 ram

wan to ask, what's the point to create Recovery Media? is it for after i format my laptop then insert the 4discs to re-install windows7 and drivers just like default settings from factory?

No, once you've recovered your system, all the applications and drivers will be installed, the Recovery Disc is designed in case that the hidden partition spoil, so there would be an alternative way to recover your system.

ATTENTION: GUYS Toshiba has updated the Extension Warranty for those who bought their laptop during FAIR, do check yours.

if i wan to format my laptop, how to do it? since s4314 doesnt comes with win7 disc..

To recover your hard disk drive using utilities stored on your laptop's hard disk:

1. Make sure the laptop is turned off.

2. Press and hold the 0 (zero) key on your keyboard while powering on your laptop. When the laptop powers on, the Toshiba Recovery Wizard screen displays.

For full details, please refer here:

http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/su...0339010_web.pdf

how bout create another partition? i had started using this laptop, there's only one partition. wanna create another for backing up my files in the future.

reevephon, my warranty is still one year international on toshiba website. no extended warranty. how the warranty page looks like? thanks.

Added on December 16, 2009, 5:30 pmmanaged to speak to teledynamics, mentioning the extended warranty has been updated on the toshiba website but mine is still not.

After check again, still same
My model is S407



This post has been edited by chanka99: Dec 16 2009, 06:11 PM

I already email teledynamics about the warranty.
They ask for the serial number, model number and they confirm that my laptop has free 2 years warranty. This is what they replied :



"We are actually waiting for the dealers to submit all the serial numbers sold during PC Fair (which will end next month in Ipoh). After that we will verify before sending to Toshiba for updating into the database. Please give us some time to complete the process. You can check at the website at the end of January or February.



Yes, it is confirmed that your laptop has free 2 years warranty extension. Please do not worry as we will definitely honor it. If any problem, you can send your laptop to us anytime for servicing.



I have forwarded it to the relevant person to follow up for you."

You can use Norton Partition Magic, Acronis Disk Director, or Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition to create logical drive.

First, resize your C drive (eg. 100GB), then format & partition the remaining as D drive (choose logical & NTFS format).

3 years????

bro,i am sooooo jealous

This post has been edited by lan_86: Dec 17 2009, 06:06 PM

Yeah, it's clearly stated it's 3 years warranty till 2012.

Do u think the promotion for the L510-s4314 3 years warranty will last till ipoh's pc fair?

Should be, since it's still under Pikom PCFAIR.

could anyone try this?

go to Computer-->drive C-->Program Files-->TOSHIBA-->TOSAPINS-->COMPS1

and you'll see lot of folders,is that all the installer/setup for bloatware??

one more thing,i couldn't find any way to make my C drive smaller than 140gb ..

total drive size 290GB,available shrink space 140GB only

This post has been edited by lan_86: Dec 20 2009, 06:55 PM

i think there is a limit for shrinking hdd size in windows, for you case should be 140GB.
if you want to create partition, is better to create the partition when you recover os.
you can try to use third party software to create partition, but not sure safe or not, cause heard someone say might corrupt the partition.

Yes, all the drivers & applications is there.

I've resized my C drive to 50GB and created D drive as logical drive, 236GB. May be you should try different partition manager.

jz bought my L510 today..really like da built quality..da sound from speaker is rich but not quite loud..

How much you bought and with any offers or not, like warranty extension. Yeah, I've noticed that the speaker is not as loud as my previous HP laptop.

bought it rm2699 with 1 year international warranty n 2 years local warranty..altough da sound is not loud as my previous notebook but da sound quality is good..

zhuan,which partition manager are you using?

i only manage create 2 partition only with equal size

is it ok to share music,picture,movies files with application/os file in main C drive.

still not used with win7

folder management way too different with win xp

Added on December 20, 2009, 8:26 pms4314?i bought it RM2799 with 1 year warranty + unsure free warranty

yes,the speaker quiet weak but acceptable,my 6 years old Acer Travelmate sounds better.Toshiba should put Harmon/Kardon speakers in all thier pc like Compaq(Altec Lansing)

This post has been edited by lan_86: Dec 20 2009, 08:26 PM

yup..s4314..bought at perangin mall, penang..

well, there are few available, partition magic, acronis disk director, paragon partition manager.

normally, i would store music, picture, movies files in D drive, just in case my C drive having issue, i can easily recover C drive using backup & recovery tools.

if u concern about security, u can always create & configure the folders with ur own account permission.

What you mean by backup & recovery tools? Is it the Toshiba System Recovery or 3rd party recovery tools?

I meant 3rd party recovery tools for faster & convenient option.

But, you can also use Toshiba System Recovery to recover only your C drive, look for "Recovering the C partition of the HDD without changing the current partition size" at the Toshiba HDD Recovery manual in pdf file format.

Hi guys,

any 1 using the s4314 now?? I plan to get 1 by today any 1 have bad experience with it?

just pass by to asking ppl to do donation with ur laptop ^^
http://folding.stanford.edu/
protein folding donation make the world become healthy !!
for more information come BenQ Thread asking [FoldingSpammers]^^

a little confusion here,

i've read the user manual said that it took 8 hours for charge the battery to complete if its being used.Today for the first time i charge my lappy while using it,but it only took 2 hours,same like while it turns off

is this normal,or the "8 hours" charging only for the first time charging??

This post has been edited by lan_86: Dec 24 2009, 03:12 AM

Nothing bad about this laptop, ops, it do have a cons about this laptop which is the speaker loudness, but it's still acceptable.

but i dunno how to call back to teledynamics, cz so many option to choose,

Added on December 24, 2009, 6:45 pm8 hour each time???

but,is it normal fully charged only 2 hours instead of 8 hours(as stated on user guide) while the power is on?

This post has been edited by lan_86: Dec 24 2009, 06:45 PM

No, only the first time, afterward just charge it to full.

oic..

btw is it okay to run lappy only with ac adapter without battery for more than 8 hours everyday?i never tested it before since it's very new..i just afraid the adapter might kong very soon

No, don't worry you may run it more than that as well, I used to use my laptop with adapter more than 12 hours, adapter would never kong easily, but battery will. The more you use your battery the more of it's power would reduce.

hi guys,
i need help around here.
im thinking of getting G450 or toshiba L510-S4314.

well if i extend the warranty to 3years of G450 and upgrade the ram it would be 1999+3xx+ 1xx.

and as for the toshiba, with the price 2699, free 3years warranty+ free upgrade on 4GB ram.

i guess the price is almost the same unless if i really want to budget which i can forget about the g450 warranty.
the difference is on the gfx card.
toshiba - hd 4570
g450- G210

i want to hear both pro n cons from all the sifu here.
thanks
