Dark satellite A20 - retro-lighting on display

Hi all

on my Satellite A20, I've got a backlight is dark. A new inverter did not work.

So I wanted to check the lid switch. But it seems that this laptop is not a conventional switch? Can someone tell me how the "open cover" function is performed on this system?

Second part is that I wanted to check if the inverter on the GET proper nutrition. Does anyone have a pinout of the inverter? (It's a TAMURA HBL-0291)

Thank you!

Peter

Hello

I think that no one here can meet these technical issues such as the pinout of the inverter. In your case I would contact a technician for laptop in your country. Normally what you mean is described in the technical manual, but this is only available for ASP s, so a portable computer technician can give you more information.

Alternative make sure that your BIOS version is up-to-date. You can download it on the Toshiba site.

In addition you can also find a list of s SPAS where you can get professional help.

Good luck! :)

  • Satellite A20-S103: LAN cable disconnected

    Hello

    I can not access my LAN or internet.
    I use a Satellite A20-S103 with a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC

    When I connect the Lan cable to the LAN port, the message "LAN Cable" disconnected.
    The same message is displayed using connectivity doctor ConfigFree.

    I have changed several cables, used cables that worked on other computers and the message still there and no access to the router/modem.

    Near the LAN port LEDs are not lightning (or orange or green, no)

    I already read messages here in the forum (and other forums) and I can't get the ethernet card works.

    Do you think the problem is with the card or the operating system.

    Can you help me?
    Sorry for my English

    First, check to see if the network card has been recognized in the Device Manager.
    Under network adapters, you should see the LAN card.

    If there is a yellow exclamation point near network card then the driver has not been installed correctly or there is another serious error.

    In the first case I recommend the withdrawal of the LAN card from the Device Manager and after new reboot, you should try to reinstall the driver downloaded from the Toshiba page!

    In addition, you must set TCP/IP parameters automatically because the router assigns the IP address automatically.

    Please check and report the results

    Good luck

  • 2 questions about Satellite A20

    Hello world

    I need a help of 2 topics:
    1. I want to add a laptop pattee RAM, I have 512 and I want to know if I can add 1 GB or not.my processor intel p4 2, 66go.

    2 - my s-video, it does not work and I can't activted, after aformat.
    How can I do that.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I'll try to help you:

    1.), I have studied a little and it seems that the Satellite A20 supports max 1024 MB of memory.
    Therefore, you can use modules of memory 2 x 512MB max. The A20 supports PC2100 DDR modules - simple RAM and these parts must be supported;
    PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
    PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

    (2.) what do you mean by s-video does not work? You are not able to get on TV by pressing FN + F5?
    Have you tried to activate the TV device in the properties of the graphics card?
    Usually, you will find the option to turn on the TV to the graphics card-> of advanced-> display devices properties
    Connect the TC for you laptop and check this area!

    PS: On some s TV s-video should be enabled!

  • Updated satellite A20-S103 - CPU and RAM

    I have toshiba satellite a20-s103 and I want to spend the cpu and ram.

    I need more to upgrade the processor that the RAM, the socket is socket p, please if you find any compatible cpu or ram from e - bay or if you find elsewhere, new cpu, or second hand in a good situation, please report it!

    and please tell me if intel core 2 duo or quad is compatible
    If you find the intel core 2 quad or compatible with that laptop duo, please report!

    Thank you very much!!!

    Guess what buddy.
    Forget the CPU upgrade!

    It is a very old notebook support old chipset.
    I'm quite sure that the chipset would not support Intel Core CPU m.

    In addition, the memory can be improved up to 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512 MB)
    More is not possible.

    In my opinion, if you need more performance, buy a laptop (maybe good work 2nd unit) supporting the newer parts.

    I can't install windows because the BIOS is not fully ACPI-compatible.

    Is it possible to get an update of the bios that is written for dos?

    Thank you very much

    > I need a flash BIOS for laptop Toshiba Satellite A20-S103. I have already downloaded on the download site. But this one I can't use because I need windows must be installed.

    You will get no other update BIOS (traditional BIOS). Only the victory of BIOS-based are available on the Toshiba page!

    In addition, you should be able to install windows even the BIOS is not fully ACPI-compatible.

    What Windows you are trying to install?

  • Lost my recovery of my Satellite A20-S103 disk

    Hi all! I lost my recovery of my Satellite A20-S103 disk. Anyone could copy it for me? Or, there is somewhere I can get it? Thank you! Be well!

    > Could someone copy it for me?

    Toshiba Forum is not an emporium of recovery disks!
    I guess that a recovery could be ordered from the ASP.

    If this laptop is too old then it will not be possible to get the collection of the ASP.
    In this case, you need to install the XP from your own disc, and then the pilots could be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  • Satellite a20 s103 wifi problem

    Hello!
    I inserted a card MSI mp54g2 mini pci wifi in my computer Toshiba Satellite a20 s103 and it does not work properly. The signal level is very low, although I tested it in the same room where was my AP (dlink dl-624 +). I found that there are 2 cables inside the computer (Brown and white) and two locations on the wifi card (in the hand). I don't know how I connect them, yet I tried all possible combinations and none of them does not change the signal level. Also, I found that even though the antena is not connected, the signal level is the same.
    Can someone help me with this one? !!
    Please help me!
    THX :)

    Connect cable o white HANDS and black to THE and try again.

    I just got a used Satellite A20. Former owner uninstalled programs, and now the CD/DVD doesn't read any type of disc. It has worked well for the former owner.

    Satellite A20C - 0231Q Windows XP - Home drive SD-R2412

    In the bios a cd-rom drive is listed
    In Control Panel, the drive is listed, but with a yellow triangle and a message indicating that the device cannot be used... driver problem?

    Is there a way to locate the driver for an older machine, install it, without making a complete recovery (as the cd player does not work?)? I noticed that the driver Announces began with the Satellite A - 200.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Boarder's right. If the drive is listed in the device with the yellow exclamation point manager and the drive is not listed in Windows Explorer, you can resolve following the method described in the document of Microsoft.
    After reboot everything should be ok again.

  • Satellite A20 cannot read SD memory card

    I have a portable Satellite A20. I can read SD cards up to 1 GB. I tried to read a card with 2 GB (and format). It does not work. Who can help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

    Post edited by: Rg1957

    Hello

    When the A20 was produced right now on the market, there is no SD card with more than 1 GB of capacity. Much more old models of portable computers cannot read the new SD cards. It is the same on my old Tecra M1.

    I'm afraid there is not much to do.

  • What disk capacity HARD Satellite A20 S-103 supports?

    Hello everyone and sorry for the bad English ;)
    I want to improve my laptop HARD drive but I don't know what cell maximum supported size?
    It's a Satellite A20 s-103, with Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz processor.
    Can you help me with this?

    I think buy a 160 GB Samsung HARD drive! :)
    Its very important question for me, and I couldn't be able to find an answer yet.

    Sincerely! :)

    Hello

    For me, the upgrade for the 160 GB HARD drive is questionable.
    I don't know that the BIOS recognises this large size m.
    I know that the laptop should recognize the unique sizes such as 30 GB, 40 GB, 60 GB or 80 GB.

    Of course, you can try to connect the 160 GB and it would be very interesting to know the results. Please report the details...

  • Satellite A20-S103: can't burn CDs

    I use satellite A20-S103.
    my laptop won't burn CD more!
    This laptop uses a combo CDRw-DVD-ROM
    It reads, but he's not burn CDs?
    I looked in the tools and utilities cdrom. I saw a driver called DVDRAM. also I searched toshiba.com drivers latest. She also wrote driver DVDRAM here.

    What is the true driver?
    What can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    As far as I know, DVD player is automatically recognized by the operating system and you n t need to install any driver. Driver DVD-RAM is something else and it is not only the driver but the little tool too and must be installed if the unit has DVD - RAM drive.

    If you can't burn CD the only thing you can do is to do some tests.
    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then restart the device. The reader will be recognized and installed automatically
    Check if you have any success with the media from different manufacturers
    Try to clean the lens

    If this does not help, I guess that your drive should be replaced.

    Good luck!
