• Cannot get wireless with my Satellite Pro L20

  My Satellite Pro L20 simply does not recognize my wireless network at home - he can't even see when I search for wireless networks. With my other non-Toshiba laptop on - there was no problem and that captures wireless 4 or 5 in my neighborhood.

  My Tosh works well when he hard plugged on the Net, but if you help get me wireless I would appreciate.

  Are you sure that your laptop is an installation of a WLan minPCI card?
  You can check this in the device under network adapters Manager

  If the wireless network adapter is listed in the device manager then you should check the compatibility of the WLan standards.
  If the wireless network adapter supports only the 802. 11 G standard and your router supports only 802.11 A or 802.11 standard B then you will not be able to connect to the WLan router.

• Satellite Pro L20: battery not charge when the power adapter is connected

  Hello

  all advice appreciated.

  I had a Satellite Pro L20 for about 18 months. Recently, battery does not charge when the power adapter is connected. The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile. However the ACPI often said that AC is "offline."

  There are two recent occurrences that coincide with this problem, I try to eliminate:

  1. my friends rat chewed by the feeder for pets! Power is Mobile OK insofar as he fled sector - the rat seems to have simply chewed by the outer cover (I see some threads, but I think that is just a shield, although I'm not an electrician).

  2. I put the laptop in hibernation for the first time. That seemed to mess up the system a bit, which was what initially drew my attention to the problem. This question is a bit complicated because I'm under Linux (Xubuntu).

  I updated the drivers etc from windows when I bought the laptop. Never had any problems until now and have been running linux for centuries. Also, I have mainly the laptop the power supply turned off, but do not remove the battery (is that really a problem these days?)

  I obviously need to replace the adapter, but is - it is likely (and how I can check) that the battery was borked until?

  see you soon

  First, please check if the other are lit.
  If the AC led and power led are on the adapter sector is ok and it provides the power to the laptop.

  > The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile
  If the battery LED is yellow, this means that the battery is not fully charged and if the Green led changes then recharging is caught and the battery has been recharged.

  So I really don t see any problems with the charge process.

  Maybe the battery is old and so you cannot use it for an extended in such a case only the replacement of the battery could help.

  Hello

  Usually battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. If high performance applications run on the laptop, the battery working time breaks down.

  If I understand correctly, the laptop and the battery is abut 2 years old.
  To my knowledge after about 500 charge/discharge procedures time decrease the battery performance.
  My laptop is about 3 years old and I can use my battery for about 20-30 minutes also.
  My second Notebook battery died completely. I use this laptop only with the AC adapter / CC. In my opinion is nothing unusual.

  You can compare this situation to battery for laptop with mobile phone batteries.
  After several times that it of necessary to replace the battery.

• Satellite Pro L20 charge query

  Hi, have a Satellite Pro L20. LED on the front of the laptop shows full battery (LED is green), "feed icon" on the screen shows the battery with virtually no load (16%), unit said "Recharge" but "%" battery does not increase.
  When I remove the charger, battery falls '&' as the battery discharges. All clever people out there with any ideas?
  Thanks in advance.

  Hey,.

  If you already tried different batteries, it appears to be a malfunction of the loading/control unit on the motherboard itself.

  I think this case you can do anything and you need professional help of an authorized service provider. Guys can check your laptop and solve this problem.

• Satellite Pro L20 - looking for a better battery

  Hello

  Well, battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. The use of the high-performance notebook reduces the battery working time.
  In addition, you should check the watch tool Toshiba. There are different modes of battery that you can use. The right mode increases battery working time.

• 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:

• Satellite Pro L20 cannot see APs works on Channel 13

  I work in a school where we have a WLAN with multiple Points of access working on different channels. Staff a model of laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 with Atheros WLAN cards (they are actually labeled "Askey" but they appear in as Atheros Device Manager. These laptops do not have any APs working on Channel 13. Anyone know if these cards support channel 13?

  Or do need to be configured to do this - if so how?

  Wlan 13 channel isn't available on Toshiba laptops due to some important restrictions! Because Toshiba distributes own books in the world, all Wlan channels must meet various conditions.
  Channel 13 is not available in the USA because the USA standard uses only 11 channels.
  That's why 13 is not activated!

• 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

  Did you check if the AC adapter is working properly?
  Initially, the battery is not charged. You must connect the power adapter to recharge the battery.

• Satellite Pro L20 - overheating of the power cable

  Hello

  For several months, I had problems with the keys suddenly works intermittently. Although brushing under the keys with a toothbrush relieved the problem for awhile it obviously was not the main cause. Each time, so not attributable to each of the keys of damaged to different keys.

  When unplugging the power cable from the metal part is very hot, and I worked on the problem of keys occurs only when the computer is running on a/c AND the battery is fully charged. In other words, no problem on the battery or recharging. The adapter is also hot, but guess that's 'normal '.

  The power cable has been tested directly from another outlet and not ongoing execution of the usual belkin surge protector, external sources seem so plotted on. I tried to find another cable/adapter to test but living very rural location of doubt this will be possible or practical.

  The fan seems to work OK, the air coming out of the side is very hot. It does not appear to be clogged with dust. Also, the area of the laptop above the fan heats up.

  Sometimes the computer crashes on black or blue screen (on iplayer lately, maybe other progs too) but the noise continues. I turned off by pressing the button for 5 seconds, but he still works for a while. I guess from overheating. But not some of it is always on a/c-do not charge, it may be on a/c-charge as well.

  Sometimes the computer seems confused if he is re-load, on a/c or battery. At least the icon switches and requires a session to unplug the device before doing things.

  Other times it is the machine of Angel since last two years! It's a Satellite Pro L20, the adapter's clover LiteOn 65W, 19V 3. 42 a. part PA3396E-1ACA (what I see is no longer available).

  Searched through but not found any similar problem, but hope someone can advise me what to do next!
  Thanks in advance

  Hello Robin

  It doesn't sound good. According to the specifications of the laptop, you have the right AC adapter. In my opinion you should contact the partner of service authorized in your country. Make a call and I hope they can help you how to handle this issue.

  It is also possible that they can send you new power adapter. Make a call and explain the situation. If you have need for addresses and phone numbers you can find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

• Satellite Pro L20 - broken hinge baseplate - where to find the parts?

  Hello

  First post here, so please excuse the lack of local etiquette.

  My son has a Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 with a broken hinge base plate. I'm calling it a base plate that I can not find the name of the part anywhere on the web so far.

  Its obviously the metal plate on the basis that the hinge attaches to.
  You can see it if you remove the battery.

  Nobody knows what is this part and where I could possibly buy one?

  Kind regards

• 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?
