Hey guys, This television is on sale at my local Best Buy, for a pretty good deal ($300 off to a sale price of $599 with 12 month financing and free delivery). I am currently using a 55' 1080P JVC I bought about 4 years ago, which is turning itself off and soft locking from time to time so I was thinking about replacing it and upgrading to 4k for my living room. I mostly use the TV with my Roku Stick and Chromecast for watching videos from streaming services and occasionally with my Steam Link to play video games with my wife, and very rarely to watch a Blu-Ray on my PS3. What do you guys think? Is that TV worth my time at that price or should I wait and look at some other different tech later on in the year, while I wait for JVC to die? Thanks for any input, Admiral Stanley (Toshiba model number 65L621U)

Hello! So I'm looking for a new harddrive, when I was looking at toshiba 3TB [Toshiba 3TB 7200rpm 64MB] When I found out that it was 27db loud! Now for me, that seems super loud. But I dont know much about harddrives, is this normal? Is it loud? How loud do seagates get?
-
I was shopping for a new hard drive and I understand that hard drives are not something you should cheap out on. I was curious because I found a Toshiba hard drive that was a lot cheaper than seagate and western digital drives, plus it has the same length warranty as the other two.

Hi guys! ( first post, hope i do this correct ) My ( mainly storage ) HDD just died and i'm looking for a replacement and i can't choose between the ( 3TB ) Toshiba P300 and the Toshiba DT01ACA300 ( A300 ) The price difference is only €2, the P300 is from 2016 and the A300 from 2012. The rest of the specs are identical! Is this just a "new" name for this line or are they different? Thanks in advance UPDATE : i couldn't find anything about the differences/rebranding of those hdd's so i bought the P300 simply because it was cheaper and newer. Have it for a week now and it works without any problems.

I've included a picture of the version of OCZ VT180 that I'm looking for in a 240GB capacity. It's this version specifically that I'm looking for to put in the front SSD tray of my S340 Elite. Any help would be appreciated because the only version of this I've found so far has been a 960GB variant.

Hey (I'm using Windows 7, I've tried all USB ports 2 and 3). I've come across a strange problem with my external HDD (Toshiba). When I connect the HDD to my comuter the drive shows signs of working normally (sound and blinking light), but I don't get any popups on my PC. I can then only google stuff and get results, but when I try to open a webpage I only get "This site can’t be reached linustechtips.com took too long to respond. Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall Running Windows Network Diagnostics ERR_TIMED_OUT" The HDD does show up under computer as Local Disk (E:) though, but when trying to access it the green bar at the top loads slower and slower when nearing the end and then... Still nothing after an hour. It just gets infinitely slow.

Lenovo Qosmio X70-A-10F wifi's not working unless charger is plugged in

Hi, I had a laptop who's overheating then I decided to clean it. I removed alot of dust in the heatsink. Now, the laptop (toshiba Qosmio x770) is running between 40 and 50 celsius down from 65-70. However, since I unpluged the cpu's fan to clean it, the fan is always running at full speed, even if the cpu temperature is at 40 celsius. Has anyone already had this issue ?

So, my Chromebook won't turn on, even with a full battery. I know it won't boot (and not just not activate screen) as the USB ports don't power devices. When it is plugged in, however, it boots fine with no hitches whatsoever. My current theory is the battery is dislodged from the connector or has malfunctioned (Some of my previous Windows laptops would function fine with no battery, as long as it was plugged into the wall). I don't know what model number this chromebook is (the bottom label has faded beyond reading). What I DO know is that it was manufactured by Toshiba and has Skullcandy audio. It has 2 USB ports, 1 SD, one HDMI and a headphone jack. I would appreciate advice as to what to do and how to find out what model this is. I am fairly comfortable with opening it and doing some laptop surgery, but this will be my first time.

So, my 2014 model Toshiba Chromebook 2 won't turn on, even with a full battery. I know it won't boot (and not just not activate screen) as the USB ports don't power devices.

My current theory is the battery is dislodged from the connector or has malfunctioned (Some of my previous Windows laptops would function fine with no battery, as long as it was plugged into the wall). I would appreciate advice as to what to do and how to find out what model this is. I am fairly comfortable with opening it and doing some laptop surgery, but this will be my first time. I did a Crosh (chrome's shell environment terminal) battery test. The output: crosh> battery_test No test length specified. Defaulting to 300 seconds. Battery is charging or full (100.00% left) Battery health: 81.42% Please make sure the power supply is unplugged and retry the test. But if I unplug the laptop, it won't boot

My toshiba satellite a665 (i7 740QM, 640GB, GTS 350M) that contains an i7 740QM (1.7ghz base, 2.9ghz turbo) started clocking at 3192 mhz on one core, which is above its turbo speed, thus being quite interesting. (anyone knows why this is so?) Also, i read that it is possible to limit cpu performance without underclocking, setfsb or anything like that by simply changing a setting in windows. i want to do it beacuse as seen below, i am achieving temperatures of 100 deg C while simply simultaneously doing a conference call and watching a youtube video. my laptop would also overheat while playing half life 2 ._. so if anyone knows how to do that. also does anyone know how to change the fan speed of my cooler fan? (SpeedFan and HWInfo64 does not work) thanks!

Since i received my first laptop in 2014, it has been plagued with hard-disc over-utilization. I now own a new(old) laptop that belonged to my mother, which is a Sony Vaio, it too has been plagued with the same issue only much worse. From the moment i turn it on to the second it powers down. It does sometimes however settle down after a while but once it does go down it seems to go into a exteremely unstable state where the utilization does not remain c I need help in resolving this issue as im at the point where ive done everything apart from deleting system32 . All Jokes aside, id love to receive some advice on ways to remedy this issue and hopefully be able to use my computer properly again.

My laptop screen flickers in steam games only. I have tried reinstalling my games, restarting, changing resolutions, and using a different display via HDMI. I have a video linked of what I am talking about attached. I can't seem to find the issue. Any help would be appreciated. https://twitter.com/ccegg143/status/913243988240433152

This issue is driving me nuts, i had this laptop Toshiba Satellite L755 for over 4 years now, it has an Intel Core i7-2670QM processor, Nvidia Geforce GT 525M and 8GB of RAM, i never had any overheating issues or sudden shutdowns, i used to play the infamous game Rust on it without any issues, i traveled somewhere and left my laptop home for like 10 months or so, when i came back and turned it on, it started shutting down, i wasn't running any games, but it kept shutting down, so i formatted it and installed the latest driver updates, and before that i disassembled it and cleaned whatever i could clean, applied new thermal paste after wiping the old one, turned it on, surprise surprise, still shutting down, but mostly when i'm launching a game or doing some heavy work on it with the Turbo Boost enabled, i thought to myself, maybe it's the overheating that's causing this, so i tested the stability of my CPU and GPU using AIDA64, ran the stability test on both of them for 30 minutes, be aware that i disabled my Turbo Boosting before this, the results were incomprehensible, the temperature of the CPU got to around 98-99 Celsius, the GPU was around 85 Celsius, the CPU was throttling pretty hard, but it didn't shutdown, like never, even with that extreme temperature, i concluded as any sane person that the overheating isn't the culprit here, so my second test was to check if my issue is caused by power supply somehow, i went into the bios, looked for something related to the CPU's power consumption and its speed, i set it to minimum, this meant less power consumption and a slower system, really slow, i restarted my laptop, it's slower, but it's not shutting down anymore, and of course i can't run any games because they would lag as hell, so after this i got to the conclusion that maybe the motherboard is the culprit, that when it's under heavy work, meaning more power consumption, something on it fails and triggers a system shutdown. So what do you guys think ? is it a failing motherboard ? a failing hard disk ? i ran some Intel tools and my CPU passed all the tests, my GPU isn't reporting any issues, maybe a failing fan ? i suspect the hard disk. If you guys have any tests i can run that would help me find the cause of my suffering i'd appreciate it, thanks in advance. -
Source: https://www.eteknix.com/ransomware-costs-toshiba-400000tb-ssd-storage Toshiba's NAND production facilities in Japan were targeted by ransomware attacks severe enough to cause production to come to a halt for 3-6 weeks. This is an estimated production loss of 100,000 wafers, or roughly 400PB worth of chips, enough to possibly cause a short term market shortage in NAND and more price increases.

Toshiba has agree to sell its nand business to Bain Capital-led consortium, for the amount of 2 trillion Yen or about $18 billion US dollars. The consortium also has other members such as Apple, Dell, SK Hynix, Kingston, Hoya Corporations, and Seagate. Currently Western Digital is trying to block the sale, saying it violates their partnership agreement.

Toshiba is about to lose their NAND Division.
NvidiaIntelAMDLoveTriangle posted a topic in Tech News
So Toshiba is selling their NAND flash division. So I guess we're in for some price increases in the future. Fantastic. /s I know I know no one cares right now since the Iphone double donut has been officially revealed and everyone is selling one of their kidneys to just buy one, but soon you'll need to sell the other one as well.

I have an older toshiba laptop, (windows 8) That we upped to windows 10 because of windows 8, and it ran fine for 6 months, but then the hard drive died, and we go an SSD, and now the internet won't work, as the title states, it will get to google, but if you look something up and click on a link. 500 !!!INTERNAL ERROR!!! Would that be the WiFi card? Or something else...

source: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-toshiba-accounting-lawsuit-idUSKBN19J0GU Toshiba had an offer from a consortium composed of japanese investors and a US private equity firm, Bain Capital - the sum is rumored to be around 18bil USD but Western Digital meddling in the transaction has thrown a rock in the dealing and Toshiba missed the deadline Western Digital who runs a joint venture with Toshiba's memory plant claims that Toshiba is breaching the joint venture contract and actively seeks a US court injunction to prevent the sale Western Digital wants the plant for themselves and issued a bit, Toshiba turned them down claiming they pose an anti-trust issue and the bid being too low furthermore, Toshiba is said to terminate all access for Western Digital's employees to all the systems in fear that they will continue to interfere one other problem seems to be that Bain Capital is doing business with SK Hynix and some Toshiba's board members and Western Digital are not keen to sell their secretes Western Digital is said to take further legal action of SK Hynix participates in the sale- 3 replies

Hi, I would like to ask for a little help as modifying this laptop is getting a little beyond me at this point. I have done countless hours of research into this laptop in trying to build it into my perfect computer. I know there's other options out there, but cost isn't an issue, time, or even cooling in the laptop. What I'd like to do is modify the motherboard/BIOS to support the Q9000 cpu. I've found that intel shows the pm965 chipset does not support anything further than the X9000 cpu, nor more than 4GB of ram. People online have reported that they were able to get 6gb and 8gb of ram to work without any modification. I have found this: https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=110620 and see how they have soldered a few wires here and there, insulated a few cpu pins, use throttlestop to get the second 2 cores at stock frequency. I do have the soldering skills needed, and am able to insulate pins needed but I really have no idea where or what to solder to since this is a toshiba, not a lenovo. So according to them, and quite a few success stories there, the pm965 chipset can support 1066MHz FSB and also 4 cores. So if I could get a little expert advice or maybe a bit of help on how to go about this, it would all be greatly appreciated. Also, power draw is not an issue. I am not interested in running or installing the SLI graphics cards in this laptop, I only have the 8700m 512mb. Cooling is not an issue as i've had the X7900 in this computer before and it did just fine. no alarming temperatures. I know I may need to add the Q9000 microcode into the bios, and I know that intel's specifications list that the pm965 only supports dual cores, but in the forum i linked to, displays that it very well could have been a limitation intel put into place for whatever reason. Also again, it's not about the money, I know I can just go out there and buy a better computer for less than I'm going to put into this laptop. But it's not about that. It's just a project I created for myself. I own much faster, newer, computers. I just want to see how much I can get out of this, hopefully very potential machine. Any comments telling me just "do not do it", will be ignored. I've already swapped out the LCD also, from a 1440x900 panel to a 1920x1200 panel. works flawlessly.

I'm hearing a lot of negative stuff about Toshiba hard drives. I am using two Toshiba 1TB hard drives on my PC and my dad is using a Toshiba 1TB hard drive on his. Now, he is a lawyer and all his documents are really important for him. Are these hard drives really that bad?

So I looked around for anything relating about installing an SSD on a Toshiba Satellite L50-B (www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCAWOvixJh4). But the videos done on this laptop or similar don't show the process of installing it or whats needed. So is there anything specific needed for installing an SSD (like mounting ect..) or will it be a case of removing the hard drive and installing the SSD.
