• Upgrade HDD in Satellite L20-183

  Can I replace the real 60 GB HARD drive with a 250 HARD drive (WD Scorpio 250 GB ATA/100 5400, 8 MB WD2500BEVE) without any other upgrade?

  BIOS V1.2

  Hello

  Thanks for this I n t think that it will be possible.
  AFAIK the L20 supports an IDE interface and standard ATA-5 supports only the LBA 28 bits, which means that more than 120 GB hard drives will not be recognized!

  So, I wouldn't recommend taking a 250 GB HARD drive due to compatibility issues

• Can I use min - PCI Wi - Fi card on Satellite L20-183?

  Hello

  I bought the laptop Satellite L20-183 six months ago. Since then, I've been using external PCMCIA Wi - Fi card. I'm a little tired to take care on a piece of plastic that comes out of the laptop. I read that it is possible to add a miniPCI WiFi card.

  Should my computer a special model? Does anyone know where I could buy it or order? In addition, I would like to know if my phone is equipped with a Wi - Fi antenna connection?

  Hi Jakub

  Unfortunately I have some bad news for you. Satellite L20 has no Wi - Fi antenna and it is not extensible with a mini-PCI card. :(

• HDD Satellite L20-183

  Hello, I encountered the following problem: I recently bought
  a new laptop (Satellite L20-183, the disk HARD MK6026GAX is) and after I
  turned on for the first time the capacity of the HARD disk on windows
  a: 60, 003,..,... bytes. According to the specifications of the hard disk, it should have
  was 60,011,610,210 bytes. So I used the revovery cd so much and now
  Windows reports 60,011,610,210 bytes. My question is what can be
  because of this difference? The weather? During this period of the year here
  Romania are-20 /-25 degrees celsius. Thank you for your response.

  Hello

  I put t know where you have the information on the capacity of the HARD disk but this unit came with a 60 GB.
  It is about value. But each HARD drive a few differences.
  If you want to know the exact value, you must calculate with 1024.

  60 GB = 61 440 MB
  61440 MB = 62 914 560 KB
  62 914 560 KB = 64 bytes 424 509 440

  Believe me your drive is ok.

• How can I use bluetooth on my Satellite C850-B906

  Please help me. How can I use bluetooth on my Satellite C850-B906. I can't find on the bottom of the search, and even in the PC device, bluetooth is not there. This laptop has bluetooth according to its specifications. (Bluetooth / WiFi (802.11B/G/N).)

  Good response will be highly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I m not sure but I think you've got your laptop computer without an operating system preinstalled.
  The question is: which OS you have installed and that you have installed all the drivers needed, including BT (Toshiba BT stack) software?

• Satellite L20-183 broken BIOS - Linux

  I have a problem with may Satellite L20-183. When I try to install the operating system Linux (Mandriva Linux 2006 official) after checking the HDD, cd... I see a broken 'BIOS' massage and only what I can do is to restart the computer.
  Why is this happening and what can I do to solve this problem.

  Hello

  I'm don't know if you know, but Toshiba doesn't support the Linux operating system.
  In this case there is no information on these issues of Linux on Toshiba laptops.
  I have a tip for you. Why not install windows on your device and use a Knoppix Linux? You n t need to install Linux on the HARD drive. It starts from the live DVD and you can work with Linux as with Suse Linux.

  Good bye

  Is it compatible?

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Unfortunately, I can't confirm the SSD compatibility but if this old Satellite phone has HDD with IDE interface I sure you can use this SSD for upgrade of m.

  Please post comments. This info can be useful for other users of L20.

• Satellite L20-183 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L20-183. I would like to change the hard drive TOSHIBA MK6032GSX to a larger and more rapid as: WD 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 Mb SATA2 Notebook WD3200BEKT.
  It will be compatible or should I buy SATA 1 HDD 5400 RPM?

  Hello

  Satellite L20 works with disk HARD SATA 1 and maximum capacity, with which it was delivered was 100 GB but I think 320 should not be problematic.
  RPM MAX was 5400 then I think you should buy the HARD disk with the same number of TURNS.

  However, if you want you could test whether a new battery will help you.

• Satellite L20-183: PCMCIA Pixelview Tuner does not work with 720 * 480

  I have the following problem:
  I am the owner of a

  Toshiba laptop Satellite L20-183 (1.6 Celeron, 512 MB Ram, Ati radeon Xpress Mobile X 200)

  I just bought a
  Mobile TV Tuner PCMCIA (Prolink) Pixelview PlayTV havig the following specifications:
  http://www.ProLink.com.tw/English/products...ixelView%20Play TV%20Mobile.htm

  as you can see it it says he works at the frame size PAL: 720 x 576; NTSC: 720 x 480

  which is true, but not with my laptop
  It is functional on a laptop HP Celeron 2.8 Mhz, 512 Ram and Ati 9100 IGP

  on my laptop, it only works to the minimum framerate 320 * 288 (as I remember), but then the passage to the maximum framerate of 720 * 480 there are artifacts (horizontal lines) on the right size of the screen.

  I say it again on a similar notebook (talk configuration) with ATI 9100 IGP it works perfectly at maximum framerate.

  Someone told that can a card linked to overaly settings video problem, but it unlikely for me as long as lon semms as he worked on another laptop with ATI IGP 9100, which seems to be older than my video card. (By the way all the parameters and options are the same on two laptops)

  SOMEONE HELLLPPPPP!

  Hello
  Check the BIOS on the toshiba. BIOS in the video settings, there should be a possibility to change the PAL or NTSC. If the value is NTSC I see problems that you described. So as if you right-click on the desktop and select Properties, click on the tab on the far right, a last and properties then go to advanced. Under these properties, it must have an option to NTSC or PAL. Make sure that PAL is thus selected here and see if that solves the problem. I hope this helps.

• Can I use second HDD on my Satellite P300-PSPCCE?

  Hi all

  I have a German P300-PSPCCE bought a few months ago. I noticed that the laptop has two bays for 2.5 "sata DISKS, which one is already ocupied by the drive by default, and the other has some ankles plastic on the portable drive door, which makes impossible to another harddrive on the Bay.

  The question is: if I remove the pins plastic of the door drive and put another HARD disk, with appropriate fixing stuff, the laptop can handle? (power, motherboard compatibility and so on...)

  The second is:

  Recently, I had an old P200 mother due to a bad Connection USB with an experimental device that I developed burn.
  Now it s hard to find this old P200 motherboard.
  I m planning to buy a motherboard of the P300-PSPCCE mine, but I Don t know where to find such a thing, so I m asking if anyone knows where I can find it, please can U show me the way?

  Thanks for any answers

  Daniel.

  Hello Daniel

  My brother has Satellite P300 and we found the same situation.
  Most important is if your laptop has connector to the second HARD drive. If so, you can connect but it needs the HARD drive cover.
  My brother has deleted these rods plastic carefully and everything is OK now. It uses 250 GB SATA HDD.

  Old motherboard, you can try to get a Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
  Another way Google a little bit and see if you can find some online store where you can order one.
  Another option is to check eBay.
  Maybe you can find some old P200 with broken screen, but with good working motherboard.

• Satellite P200-13Z - upgrade the hard drive - can I use SATA II hard drives?

  I have a Satellite P200-13Z with simple standard Fujitsu 120 GB SATA hard drive. I want to change this to a RPM SATA II 250 GB Western Digital 7200 RPM drive. This interface SATA laptop does support SATA II? Thank you very much!

  Not your portable computer does not support SATA II.

  However, you can buy the SATA II hard drive and put it in your laptop. Only way to get it going is to restrict the new speed of SATA HDD, I accelerate. To do this is to introduce a jumper on the drive to restrict it to SATA I speeds up. Once it's done put in your laptop and viola, it works.

  Good luck, but I would like to get a toshiba technician to install it if its under warranty. It's for your own good, so you don't turn your laptop into a boat anchor.

• Can I use another laptop with Satellite L550-129 adaptor?

  Hello

  My Satellite L550-129 card is broken. (dc 19 V ~4.7 (A).

  Can I use an adapter of a mini laptop Toshiba NB500-135? (dc 19 V ~ 1.58 A)

  It is therefore the same Volt but a lower amp, can I damage something?

  Greetings,

  Bart

  Hello

  Volt value must be the same! It is very important to avoid than anything.
  In your case, the same value of Volt AC to other support adapter, so you won't damage anything other THAN the value of the intensity is very low and I guess that the adapter does not provide enough power for L550 notebook. For example: recharge the battery would take much more time.

  However, I think you could check it simply as mentioned; you won't damage anything.
