Blocking number on Satellite Pro L20 problem

We have about 60 Satellite Pro L20s on a network. When the user starts the computer sometimes they start with the number lock on. Its seems to be worse on some than others. It is very annoying because it causes problems with logon.

Is it possible to disable the locking function of the number on these laptops?

Thank you

Mark

Hello

I'm a bit confused. I thought that MS L20 has no Num Lock key.
Is it may be on a green light below the F11 key?

  • Upgrade memory for Satellite Pro L20 problem

    I buy a 1 GB, 200-pin SODIMM crucial (marked on the module as 1 GB 2Rx16 PC2-4200 s-444-12-A0) and added to the existing module 256 MB (marked as 1Rx16 256 MB PC2 4200 s-444-12-C3)

    I can't get the 1 GB module memory I bought the work with the existing 256 MB module. The PC will recognize the 256 MB module in each slot and it will also recognize 1 GB memory module in the other location. However, when both modules are installed the PC doesn't recognize any order they are installed in the module 1 GB. The essential tool memory online seems to think that a slot is empty when it scans the laptop, even if both slots are filled. The BIOS also reports that only 1 GB is present when both modules are mounted.

    No idea how I can get the two recognized modules?

    Hello John

    I assume that there is a compatibility issue. If possible, try to get the 1 GB of Kingston RAM module or module recommended by Toshiba.

    If you have time take a look here

    By the way: 1 GB of RAM is sufficient for your laptop L20. In my opinion with 1 GB of RAM, you can work on this model of laptop.

    Hi Olbur

    I didn't find any official document on this subject, as you say, known issue. Can you please send a link?

    I have the Satellite L20 and there is not much difference for Satellite Pro L20 and I have no such problems, but I'm interesting about this. The L20 keyboard is not the best one, but all the characters are not displayed correctly. Maybe you type fast. ;)

  • Restart the problem after booting on Satellite Pro L20 - approx. 4 seconds

    I have a toshiba satellite pro l20 series and it worked fine until yesterday.
    the problem is that it restarts... Well actually, he stops in about 4 seconds after the start, remains closed for 1 or 2 seconds and then again
    same problem occurs with or without the battery.
    all I see is the Toshiba logo. I can enter the bios and when in the bios it does not stop.
    When I get out of the bios, saving the changes he stops. and then begins by itsself after 2 seconds.
    Please help me... How can I fix?

    Hello

    If the laptop goes through the Toshiba logo then maybe there is just something wrong with the software.
    In this case, the first step should be again install the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    Put the CD in the drive and try to boot from the CD.
    After installation, all should work properly.
    If it's not, so I guess there is a serious problem and service guys should check the laptop.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - I can identify the right recovery disk?

    Hi all

    I wonder if there is a way to identify what recovery CD or DVD came with a particular laptop model?

    I have a number of Toshiba laptops and it is that recently that I started to write a note that's CD/DVD with a machine.
    for example
    GMR400788EN0 goes with Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E-03U017EN

    I'm trying to figure out which CD is going with a Satellite Pro L20, PSL25E-00800CEN

    Thank you
    Ian

    Hello

    Sorry, but I think that there is no way to identify which CD belongs to what laptop.
    If your laptop comes with the recovery disk it should be a CD label or so on it.

    Anyway, it shouldn't be a problem, and you should test if it s the right recovery disk.
    Or you have so many Toshiba laptops? ;)

  • Satellite Pro L20 - CPU / battery upgrade

    Hi all

    I have a L20 the Satellite with the Celeron 360 Pro. I have seen that you can get another satellite pro L20s running Pentium m 730 1.6GHZ CPU. I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade the processor in this machine. The power of thermal design of the Celeron is 21W which is slightly lower than that of the Pentium-M 27W, but should not running too hot as it has speedstep, the only problem is that the Pentium versions seem to have Intel graphics and the Celeron have ATI x 200, it's a different motherboard or the same?

    If anyone knows if the upgrade is possible can you please post and let me know. Thank you!
    Also, I noticed there is a battery 4300mAh who would last longer 200mAh battery I have, it works on 14.8V where as mine is 14.4V would this work in my laptop, im assuming that it should?

    Maybe this thread will help you to get more information on the upgrade of CPU:

  • Reinstalled Windows XP now WLAN is not recognized - Satellite Pro L20

    I reinstalled Windows XP on my Satellite Pro L20.

    In Device Manager, I have a number of yellow question marks, which means that the operating system has not installed the drivers and therefore does not recognize the device.

    I downloaded the v5.3.0.35 Atheros Wireless Lan Driver Atheros dated 09/12/07 and tried to install these next to the 'Network controller' device, but nothing helped.

    Someone has an idea of what I might hurt or something else I could try? Sole purpose of the laptop is wireless connectivity, so I'm anxious to get this sort.

    Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

    Hello Thomas

    It will be interesting to know what L20 you exactly (L20 - xxx). It will be easier to identify what material is built into it.

    Anyway, as far as I know this laptop comes with operating system Windows XP Home edition and will be best solution to install using the supplied OS recovery media. The OS will be installed just after 20 minutes and all the hardware components are configured correctly.

    Of course, you install OS on your own. On the download page of Toshiba just follow instructions order facilities and avoid all the problems.

    Back to the Atheros WLAN card. After you download the driver Atheros for Windows XP Home edition, open the folder INSTALL and run the setup.exe file. What happens when you do this?

  • What recovery CD to use with Satellite Pro L20?

    We have several Toshiba laptops in use in our society. I need to restore a (a Satellite Pro L20) to factory settings. However, although I have kept all the recovery CD, most of them have labels which do not mention which model they are intended to be used on. On some of them I wrote the model number on the label by hand, but I did not do that for the L20. I know from experience that if I receive the wrong recovery CD, I have to put dozens of drivers and utilities individually, in order to find the right one would save me a lot of time and stress.

    Each recovery CD has a number (for example GMR400626EN1), so it should be possible to identify the good CD of it, but I can't find the info on the Toshiba web site.

    Is there a list that corresponds to the reference numbers for the models of laptop recovery CD?

    Hello

    This info is certainly not available on the Toshiba support site. What you can try is to contact the partner of service authorized in your country. They have access to the database of Toshiba and I'm sure they can help you.

    If you need addresses and phone numbers please check https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support & downloads search for an ASP.

  • Satellite Pro L20 does not illuminate

    Hope you can help. We have a 5 years satellite pro L20 who never gave a lot of days. It runs from Win XP, had an upgrade (crucial) memory to 2 GB and a new battery 4 years ago 4 years ago. 2 days ago, he simply left with the same noise you get when force a shutdown by holding the power button down. I tried to boot with no battery, just the sector and only on a charged battery. All to nothing does not.

    I then read the button of power with the battery and removed sector I did after leaving it overnight. When I replaced the battery it started as usual and lasted 30 seconds before turning off again, and then he was dead. I have tried all combinations with the ram up to 1 stick or kidnapped and attempted to get the bios with the HDD outside as well. Still nothing.

    I noticed that when I put the battery in 2 of the 3 flashes briefly, and now the button of pwer while pushing the battery causes a brief start 4 seconds.

    Any ideas as to what this may be? I suspect that the hardware and software. Also, I tried a different power adapter, once again no results. It stays just off.

    Thanks for any help...

    Hello

    I'm afraid it looks like a serious m hardware problem
    My first idea was a malfunction of the RAM in such a case, you could replace and test the memory, but it seems that you have already tried

    In my view there s something wrong with a motherboard or a part on the motherboard :(
    In this case I n t think a replacement of the motherboard would be useful since this part is very expensive

  • Satellite Pro L20 goes wrong with i.f. audio Fast Track USB

    Hello!

    I used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had any problems with it. I could put a low latency and I did a few songs with him.

    Yesterday, I bought another laptop, thinking of recording studio at home. He used the Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It does not work with my interface. When I listen to music on Winamp or anything on Fruity Loops, I hear strong clicks, pop, noise. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback, or after a sample is stopped.

    I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba more? The only chipset drivers are old, and you can download em only from site Web from Toshiba. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200 M. Its pilots are with the graphics card. Recently I noticed that you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - card mother/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK to make it possible to install on a mobile device like the L20. Yep it's funny, but its impossible to do otherwise!

    things that I have tried and they have still not help:
    replacement of drivers #, original were released in 2004. I installed the version.
    driver settings #, low latency, high latency
    # asio and different settings
    pluging # USB interface to another.
    # try what happens when I use the battery and when to use the adapter
    # update BIOS
    # off units such as wifi, card sound card on board
    # checked IRQ list

    persistent organic pollutants will always appear.

    my config:

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
    Win XP Home SP3
    Celeron M 1, 5 GHz
    896 MB of ram
    M - Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2

    Kind regards

    Initially, I wonder that you use old notebook L20 now. You have no more L40?

    You must understand that the Satellite Pro L20 is older model laptop and also not the best choice for such operations. This laptop is probably designed for simpler day-to-day operations such as the internet, e-mail, office, a little bit of multimedia and that s all the.

    I don't mean good old classic doesn't work with your external device, but you will be lucky if someone has the same external device and the same model of laptop and write about their own experiences.

    Do you use factory settings or you have installed the own operating system?

  • Satellite Pro L20 - typed keys missing

  • Beep on Satellite Pro L20

    You just bought a new Satellite Pro L20 PSL25E-00K00CEN, less than 12 days old. He had these recurring short beep (1-2 sec), perhaps that every 20 minutes then maybe every hour. But no notification of what the beep wasn't on. Laptop works on current electric.

    No external device connected or disconnected. None of the obvious reasons. Beeps occur if I'm working on the laptop or not.
    Would be very grateful if anyone has similar problems and solutions?

    I even turned off "sound and notification" of the Panel, but never stopped beeping!

    Hello

    I don't know what could be the noise.
    The fact is that the beep occurs during the computer laptop startup procedure. It is usually a beep code. But this should not appear in the operating system and if the unit is running.
    However, this seems very strange. Your laptop is fairly new and the warranty is valid. You should ask the Toshiba service partner for review. Maybe he knows more about this strange event.

    Please post again if you will get more information.

  • Satellite Pro L20: Wireless connection is not reliable

    Hello

    We have some Toshiba laptops in the office.

    However, the wireless on our most recent purchase (Satellite Pro L20) installation is very reliable. Periodically he loses sight of the network without apparent reason.

    We have the device permanently connected, and the problem can occur even when the machine is in the middle of copying files to and from the network server.

    The actual wireless access point is within a few feet of distance (in view), so I can't imagine there is a problem of signal strength. Can anyone offer me any guidance?

    I don't know where to start on this one there...
