• Equium L10-300 - Question about BIOS password

  Hey all hope you can help a new user please.

  Had a customer to put in a notebook Equium L10-300. Somehow has been a password on the BIOS and start-up, so I can't do anything with it. I can't boot from a CD and I tried a USB floppy drive, it seems to the flexible time and then just operates in the password box. I was going to try a BIOS flash, you see.

  I'm guessing maybe remove battery from the bios might help? But do not know where it is or how to get to it. All links to the manuals etc. would be nice. I ve read some new Toshibas have special security chips now hold passwords etc.

  Any help would be thank you very much, really need to solve this problem.

  Hello Mark

  If you have clients, I assume that you work for an authorized service. The fact is that each service description how to remove the BIOS password on each laptop model.
  So if you try to delete the BIOS password I can't imagine work you for some Baker. So many things on your work.

  Another important thing is that the BIOS removal procedure is kind of top secret information and may not be the subject of public debate. This information cannot be displayed here. This will be a valuable aid for all who attempt to enter stolen laptops. Do you agree with me?

  If your customer needs professional help to send him to the authorized Toshiba service provider nearest. They know how to remove BIOS password.

• Equium L20-198: error 0271 check date and time settings.

  My apologies if this appears twice, I tried to change and I somehow lost my thread.

  Hi people.

  For awhile, I had problems with my laptop. Toshiba Equium L20-198.

  If I unplug the network at any time, when I re - connect and start the computer, I get two warnings.

  Date and time settings error 0271 check.

  WARNING 0251 system cmos checksum bad default configuration used

  About 6 months ago we replaced the CMOS battery, while we struggled to find a brand new ML1220EI2 Nickel hydrogen 3V 14mAh, we had to go for a "used" quality one.

  The problem persists and I now also get this message every time that I reboot rather put into hibernation.

  Yes, the computer is a little more than 5 years and hit a little, but it is absolutely perfect in all other ways - with one exception - the main battery is completely dead. If the network becomes disconnected, I make you stop in about 3 minutes. :(

  Is it possible that the CMOS battery charge the main battery and this is my problem? I did a little research on Google and found a similar question and an answer on a Dell forum where someone has stated that the CMOS takes his food on the main battery. Would this be the case with my Equium and could buy a new battery solve my problem? I obvioiusly don't want to spend £30 + for it will not help, any response would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  > Is it possible that the CMOS battery charge the main battery and this is my problem?
  Well, the CMOS battery can be charged with AC adapter but the laptop must be turned on for about 18 to 20 hours.
  It s not I known if battery CMOS takes the power of the main battery
  Usually the CMOS battery should always charge in work and when the laptop is plugged in
  So, theoretically the main battery has no influence on the CMOS battery.

  I think it might be a mobo problem, I think this could be a reason for it

  By the way; in most cases the CMOS battery is not removable... so I wonder how did you repalce this CMOS battery...

• Equium L20-198: keyboard forgets to put the letters here and there

  My laptop Toshiba Equium L20-198 plays up. The keyboard sometimes seems to be a bit lazy and forgets to put the letters here and here. It seems to be worse when you type faster; is this a driver problem? If yes where can I update keyboard drivers?

  There seems to be none on the toshiba site. If it is not a driver issue - what is the problem?

  Any ideas anyone?

  Don t think that this issue was caused by a defective keyboard driver.
  I read some of the comments in this forum on similar keyboard problems on different laptops and especially BIOS update has solved a similar question.
  I recommend to check and compare the version of the BIOS of your laptop computer with the version on the Toshiba page.
  If it s a newer version then try to update the BIOS, but be careful!
  Don't forget to use the good BIOS and the proper procedure because wrong BIOS can damage the motherboard.

• Upgrade Equium L20-198

  Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and I have a question please.

  I have a laptop Equium L20 - 198 people aged but very useful, which becomes very, very slow. I think to double the RAM to 512 MB and installation of a drive Flash (SSD). Did anyone done this before? No idea if there is a compatible SSD available and where I could buy one?

  Thanks in advance.

  I don't have this model of laptop old but RAM upgrade is not a big deal. You can put an another 512 MB of RAM. Compatible RAM has PA3412U - 1 M 51 part number.

  In General, you can put 1 GB of RAM, because you can improve up to 2 GB of RAM. Unfortunately I do not know which RAM is compatible. It must be DDR2 400/533 MHz RAM.

  I have found no info on HARD drive upgrade. Is original HDD SATA or IDE?

• Equium L20-198 recognized not the 512 MB of ram after you add the 1 GB

  Hello, I added my Toshiba Equium L20-198 with a crack of 1 GB and there is already a 512 Mb slot installed in stock

  However only 896 MB memory is recognized by the Bios and xp Home Edt. -Any ideas?

  so the 512 MB not recognized at all and it apeares as not installed.

  The 1 GB is compatible with the 512 MB (available from stock)

  Http://www.crucial.com/UK/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=D21283D0A5CA7304 1 GB

  Why the 512 MB not recognized when I installed the 1 GB and when I removed the 1 GB, the recognized 512 MB and works perfectly?

  Hi Pop

  If you want to test with the new module of RAM 1 GB please try with PA3411U-1M1G. According to the specifications of it is compatible.

• Equium L20-198: Motorola ROKR as modem GPRS for laptop?

  Hi, can someone help me.
  I have paired my Motorola ROKR E1 with my Equium L20-198 with a Bluetooth dongle and now I would like to use the GPRS service for internet connection.
  I can do this, or what I need to use a modem connection?

  Also how can I prevent IE try to dialup connection when I use my LAN wireless at home?

  Thanks a lot for your help
  Shane

  Hello

  Dial-up connection will definitely work. I tried several times.

  This question is very strange for me, but if you open it and when producing Connect message or not click on connect and after that you can use with a LAN or WLAN connection. He never ask you this again once (in my case).

  Good bye

• Equium l20-198: what battery model is compatible

  Having bought just an Equium l20 - 198 I'm horrified to find that the battery (2000 mAh) dies in less than an hour. It's quite desperate and it is almost impossible to get a decent job done use away from a power outlet.

  I have yet to find a 'battery' web site which mentions the Equium: Satellite, Tecra, Portege, Qosmio, Dynabook, but never Equium - why? I can't find any information on what other reasonable quality (> 4000 mAh) battery is compatible with this model.

  Any suggestions please?

  Hi Rockrat

  As you know that each laptop producer a lot of different series laptop. This is due to a different use. Portege and Tecra notebooks are the industry and these books are mostly bought by business people who need these notebooks to traverse. For these business line books, you will find different batteries. Laptops satellite and satellite are cheaper models for everyday use, and there is no need for batteries of large capacity.

  Other models like the Qosmio is multimedia unit and it is mainly used to connected devices home TV and other entertainment and it must be connected to the power adapter because of high energy consumption. I hope you understand this and in my opinion, this is the reason why you aren't able to find the battery high capacity for your computer satellite phone.

  Good bye

• TOSHIBA Power Saver Equium L20-198

  Hello

  I have an Equium L20-198. When I click on the toshiba power saver icon in the Control Panel, it says "cannot open as the toshiba power saver does not work, go to power options, toshiba power saver, select power schema list box in page scheme of power." But toshiba power saver is already selected in the schema of power section. I'm confused.

  What is an ati graphics accelerator? It seems that every time I turn on my computer. It is said that an ati Graphics Accelerator can use a TV to my computer display. It is recommended to use a TV to display my computer, I'll have to make sure your TV display is enabled, if I do not use the TV to display my computer, I have disable for optimal performance (higher discount rate). What should I do?

  Post edited by: sa008

  Hello

  I wonder about your message
  Why?
  because the Toshiba Power Saver was not preinstalled on Equium L20.
  A Toshiba power saver doesn t exist for the L20 series!
  There is nothing on the page of the Toshiba driver too

  Therefore, the GST will not work on this laptop!

  Hello

  Thanks to anyone who repiles in advance as this is driving me crazy!

  Hello

  Do you have what OS installed on your Equium L20?

  Normally, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Did you check that?
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  I had a similar error message if I tried to install a new driver from chipset, but it worked if I installed the driver in the Device Manager with the Advanced installation order.

• Equium L20-198 loses time - about 7 minutes each day

  My L20-198 system tray clock loses about 7 minutes each day.
  I can update manually via the "set Date/time" function right click but must remember to do whenever I start and, as often, I forget quickly become desynchronized of 20-30 minutes.

  Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix?
  Do I need new CMOS battery?
  If so, how it access?

  Hello

  > Do I need new CMOS battery?
  Maybe

  But first, it would be interesting to know if the same time is seen in the BIOS.

  According to your message, you change the time always under Windows OS.
  Please check the BIOS, correct the time and save the changes to the BIOS.

  May I ask where have you noticed this problem?
  Eventually, it happens because of the old CMOS battery

  I would also try to recharge the battery CMOS.
  Connect the L20 to AC adapter leave for 18 to 20 hours.
  During this time the main battery will be charged and then the battery CMOS.

• Equium L20 dead after flash BIOS

  I recently tried to update the BIOS on my Equium L20 (model PSL2Ze). I downloaded the latest version of the BIOS and ran the update of the bios windows that much happened and restarted the laptop and it's that it happened.

  Now, I don't even get the BIOS boot screen, indeed the screen didn't even come on when you press the power button.

  The green light as the fan that stays on the disk HARD runs briefly but other than that, nothing. I thought this would be fixable by burying a CD with the BIOS on but the instructions page to do this, it shows the extract the zip file you download in 3 folders 'Docs', 'disk 3.5' and 'CD', but the file download just extract in a folder and contains the version of windows and no records or Docs section.

  Is this an oversight, should I look elsewhere?

  Bq. {color: #333399} Option 2: update with CD-ROM-{color} \ {color: #333399} 1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder. \\ 2. Three subfolders will be generated in the temporary folder. "docs", "Update - 3.5' disc',"Update - CD - R or CD - RW"------3. How to make a bootable CD-ROM please read the *.pdf file in the "docs" folder \\ 4. Make sure that the laptop is plugged into the sector. \\ 5. Turn off the laptop. \\ 6. Place the BIOS upgrade CD-ROM in the optical disc drive. \\ 7. Turn on the laptop with the F12 key. \\ 8. The BIOS boot menu appears. Select CD/DVD or CD-ROM symbol with the arrow keys. Press "enter". \\ 9. Notepad starts from the upgrade of BIOS ROM-10. A boot menu is displayed. Select the point of updating the BIOS by using the arrow keys. Press "enter". ------11. The BIOS update process begins. Do not turn off the laptop during the update. ------12. If the update is complete, follow the instructions on the screen. {color}

  So basically I'm puzzled. I put a blank CD in the drive and turned on the laptop and it turns and tries to read so I'm confident a flash CD works but I don't know how to create the CD rom flash.

  Anyone can offer me some advice please?

  Scoopz

  It's a shame!
  But unfortunately, there is nothing to see! Seems the motherboard is dead and replacement is necessary to make it work again!

  You know that the update of the BIOS is always risky and so do not do if the laptop runs correctly.

  The replacement of the motherboard is not very easy and a little trickier. If you have no experience you shouldn't it because you risk damaging the new purchased Council where the warranty is valid!
  So be careful.

  I found this page that shows how to disassemble the Satellite L25. This laptop is very similar to the Equium L20. So maybe it s a little help.

  [How to disassemble the Satellite L25 | http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaL25/satellite_L25_laptop_overclocking_1.htm]

  But once again; everything you make are at your own risk!
