Equium L20-197: vertical strip appeared on the screen!

My L20-197 18 months, began to display a vertical bar orange 38mm wide pale from the top to the bottom of the screen of 40mm from the left side.

If I pinch the screen surround above the place where the Bar starts, he disappears and then returns when I let go. What is the cause, is there a simple solution or do I pinch my toshiba whenever I need a clear on-screen display?

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Hello

No there is no 'miracle' and no Don t you can't pinch your screen. Just send your machine to an authorized repair partner, hardwarecheckup, and probably because it sounds like a serious hardware problem and you shouldn't wait.

Just follow this link to find the nearest authorized service partner (ASP) and call:

    Hello

    If this blue line is present from the first second after turning on the laptop that I presume it's because of the faulty graphics card. To be sure try to connect an external display to see the same thing will happen. If Yes, it is the evidence that this line occurs due to faulty hardware.

  • Re: Equium A200-15I - crack suddenly appeared on the screen

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Equium A200-15I laptop about 15 months ago, and I'm not sure that this is under any kind of warranty or not.

    A few weeks ago I tried to turn on the laptop but a crack suddenly appeared on the screen and the screen has been damaged. It seems as if the crack is internal, because I can't feel anything on the surface of the screen.

    I wonder how it is possible to know if the laptop is under warranty or not, and if not, if it is possible to fix the problem.

    Thank you very much
    Ken

    Hello

    This guy s shame

    I fear that this issue is not could be covered by warranty m.
    These cracks may not appear without reason
    I think that something touched the screen and led to this crack

    In any case, you could simply ask a technician ASP in your country for details and the manipulation of the Fryer, but I doubt that the warranty would cover replacement.

  • White vertical line appeared on the screen.

    A vertical white line appeared about 3 inches from the left hand side on my Dell Studio 1749.  It started about 1 mm wide, but increases in width and is now about 4 mm wide.  There is no problem on an external monitor when connected.

    Is this likely to be a problem with the Panel or a chip problem?

    Thank you.

    Yes, probably would have worked, but I just replaced the screen in the end.

    Thank you

    Hello.

    My Satellite P100-115 is 2.5 years but yesterday a thin vertical line appeared on the screen.
    I already checked this problem by connecting an external monitor.

    The line does not appear on the external display.
    Could you tell me what might get hurt? I always took care of the laptop so he couldn't be a race of misuse.

    Concerning
    Lukas

    Hello, Lukas

    You did the right thing and tested it with the external monitor. There is evidence that the display is faulty and must be replaced. It has nothing with the help of the ADB. Such a thing just happens.

    Sorry, buddy, but there are two solutions, either Exchange the screen or use it with external monitor. :(

  • 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

    Good bye

  • 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:

    I recently had to re - install Windows XP on my Toshiba Equium L20-197 PSL2ZE. The installation went much until I came to connect to the internet using the built-in wireless lan card. It seems that the driver is not installed for it.

  • 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

    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:
