Card connection and Camcorder FireWire PCMCIA - Equium L20-197

Tried to add 2 different cards using 1394 firewire cardbus. Each card has been recognized and reported as working properly. Every time when I tried to connect to a Sony DVcam, the software reported there is no connected camera.

I know that the camera, cables & software are OK - tested with another Toshiba laptop with a built in 1394 port.
I did something wrong? Does anyone have an experience with a card, they know works in this model?

Hello

Sorry, but if the card is correctly recognized that there must be a problem between the card and cam. Try to contact the card manufacturer support. They have more experience with own products.

  • How to connect the camcorder to an Equium L20

    Could someone help me and advise me as to what head I need to connect a camcorder from Panasonic M10 full size on my Equium L20 laptop I would like to transfer my old tapes of children on a dvd, the camera has three taken phono Conect to a video or TV, but how do I connect to laptop

    Hello

    Well, I think that without a 3rd PCMCIA card you won't be able to connect the camcorder to Equium L20.
    To my knowledge this unit supports only an output s-video and there aren t any taken to receive signals from the camera :(

  • Equium L20-197 - wireless connection problems

    Have an old Toshiba laptop Equium L20 - 197, running windows XP Home Edition.

    It contains an Atheros AR5005G wireless network adapter.

    The problem I have is that it will connect to my BT home hub (and says that the connection is excellent), but does not connect to any Web site.

    I added a USB 802.11 wireless adapter g to see if I can get a connection there, and it works very well (even if it is interesting only by using the wireless utility Ralink that comes with it - when I tried with the automatic Windows Wireless Configuration, I had the same problem as before - no internet connection - switched back to the Ralink utility and it works fien again).

    Internal wireless adapter worked fine, but now do not - any suggestion welcome.

    Thank you very much

    Rob

    PS I went to Device Manager and check the updates of pilot, but he told me that he found nothing better than the used version of the driver!

    Hello

    There may be some conflicts between internal WLan card and the new external 802.11 g Wireless USB adapter.

    If not, you should check the configuration of the Atheros AR5005G wireless network adapter.
    In the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab, you can change the WLAN standard 802. 11 (A B G) on the same which is used by the router.

    If the router uses 802.11 G can change this in the Wlan settings too!
    Also check the channel. I put the channel on my router and the wireless network card to 11.

    You can also try to connect to the router without using a WLan encryption. Of course, this should be done only for the test.

    Las, but not the least, update the driver WLan:

    Hello

    I own an Equium L20-197 and it currently has a power problem. It does not light up at all. When the device is connected to the machine the orange light comes on to show that there is a power source but when I hit the power button the flash just buttons and nothing happens.

    Hello

    Did you put this phone in the standby or hibernation mode?

    Read this description, it seems that the laptop has been in one of these modes and cannot wake up.
    Try to remove the battery from the laptop and unplug the power adapter.
    Several waiting time (~ 20 min) and reconnect the battery and the AC adapter.
    Then try again to put the laptop.

    If she will not be able to boot up the laptop I presume the ESF on the dysfunctions of the motherboard.
    In this case the contact of technicians would be desirable.

  • Equium L20-197 no longer works

    Can I invite you for a little help on this one.

    I received an Equium L20-197 that no longer works. Not having is not the chance to see never work I'm not sure on a number of things.

    It is totally dead, with the power supply connected there is no sign of life, no power, light nothing.

    I know there are a lot of things it could be.

    This is should it lights up while there is no battery connected, only the power supply plugged in?

    If she will be so at least I can pass a battery problem, yes the battery is perhaps still defective, but this would mean that the motherboard is probably us. If she must have a battery equipped, even a plate, then it could be the battery.

    Just try to work through step-by-step.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hi mate,

    hehe, looks like a technician is here. :) It s a very good idea to do it step by step because every good techno acts like you. So I do, and it has helped me several times.

    Regarding your question: the battery must not be connected to start the machine, so if the machine start-up even won´t just with connected AC then you can be sure that there is a serious hardware problem.

    In this case, you can remove all (disk, CDROM, etc.) and try again. You can also share the adapter of the ca and the RAM. Thus, if the won´t still machine starts, then contact an ASP (Authorized Service Partner) and ask for a review of health/repair of equipment. It would be the last resort.

    Here´s a link to find the nearest ASP in your country:

    Are you sure that need the sound driver?
    Maybe some settings are not enabled in the--> sound & audio devices Control Panel
    If you want to get the volume control in the taskbar then you must activate this in sound & audio devices-> Volume tab-> check the option called icon volume space in the taskbar

    However, the audio driver may be downloaded here:

  • Can I do my Equium L20 - 197-run faster?

    Hello world

    Can I do my Equium L20 - 197-run faster? I am not very good with pc - then do me in terms simple, lol

    Thanks in advance

    M

    Faster?
    Well, you can try to upgrade the memory on your laptop and you can also try to disable some unnecessary background processes which lose many remedies of CPU and memory.

    But that's all you can do.
    You are unable to spend the CPU or GPU (graphics card) on the laptop. It is not possible.

  • Equium L20-197 to control the Volume

    HI peeps,

    I have a problem with my laptop Equium L20-197 of comrades. When it boots into windows, you get a warning message indicating the canoe access volume control. There is no volume control icon in the taskbar, and I also noticed that in the properties of the sound device and Audio, it says that there is no audio device.

    In the Manager devices, section controller audio, video, and game audio codec, audio drivers, legacy video capture, devices, legacy multimedia control devices and video codecs all say they work properly.

    I tried the fix windows help for no volume control which is to extend the control files of the disk volume to your Windows Setup incase windows, the file is damaged or missing.
    I tried a fresh install of windows.
    None of these helped with the same warning as the result every time.

    It is true that the audio chip on the motherboard is dead or is there maybe another solution to the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in adavance peeps :)

    You said you tried to reinstall fresh Windows operating system.
    So can ask now; have you used the Toshiba Recovery CD or did you use the original MS XP CD?

    I would have preferred using the Toshiba Recovery CD because all the necessary drivers, tools, and utilities are already preinstalled
    You can use the recovery CD to reset the phone to factory settings!
    The configuration should work without any serious problem!

    In my opinion, it's an easy way to set up the laptop. The whole process would take about 10 minutes.

  • Equium L20-197 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive

    Hi all

    I recently bought an Equium L20-197 and I thought to install a larger HARD drive.
    I wanted to know what the maximum size of HARD drive that can be installed on an Equium L20-197 (I guess it's 120 GB, as it is on the L20-187 but I'm not 100% sure)

    I have also been seaching for the IDE drives and found a list of sites who have PATA, ATA100 etc. are also the IDE drives? (I checked the wiki and articles all point Yes, but a little more confirmation would not hurt)

    I was also wondering if the HARD drive I install must be brand toshiba (or if it even makes a difference).

    Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide.

    Hello

    Equium L20 is very similar to the Satellite L20.
    Search here in the forum for similar issues. If you want to use the advanced search option, you will find a few useful headings.

    I know, it's that you can use the 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB 2.5 IDE HARD drive supporting the UDMA100
