Equium L20-198: what DVD burner are compatible

Hello.

The combi CD / DVD writer on my laptop decided to give up the ghost.
In my view, there is a good choice of burners 'slimline' designed for portable computers out there, but I was warned that not all burners are compatible with all PC.

Apart from one obvious Mat * like one already installed, someone could you please recommend or advise the slimline burners will be compatible with Toshiba laptops, or better yet my model in general or at least advise what brands are known to be incompatible with computers laptop toshiba.

I would be extremely grateful for any help you could give. :)

Thank you very much
Steve.

You are right. Not all CD/DVD drive are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.

But I ve discovered DVD Super Multi Pinan could be compatible:

-MATSU * A (UJ-841BTQ-A)
-HLDS (GSA-4082N. ATAKN0)
-Pioneer (DVR-K16TBA)
-TEAC (DV-W28EA)

You can also order the compatible CD/DVD player with ASP in your country.
Guys might provide details which readers are correct.

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.

  • Equium L20-197 - what LCD screens are compatible

    Hi all

    I'm trying to help fix a friends laptop which is a Toshiba Equium L20-197.

    The screen got damaged and is the only thing wrong with it.
    I searched for the LCD on the net and so far have not been very successful.

    So I was wondering if anyone here knows other models 15 "LCD Panel that fits without modding or solder?

    Also I noticed that it uses the integrated GFX ATI Express 200 so maybe the laptop take a 32-bit Control Panel using the same cable?

    Thanx.

    To find new LCD Panel replacement is very easy. Use Google and put a few words like LCD L20 and you will find a lot of shops online to where you can order the new replacement screen.

    I don't know where you live and that you are unable to find an online store in your country, but if you have the satellite notebook, I guess you live in the United Kingdom.

  • What DVD players are compatible with Equium A60 PSA67E?

    my question; What dvd players are compatible for an equium a60 (psa67e-001001en)?

    background; I did a very stupid thing! while I was at the Japan and about 18 months after buying my a60 in the United Kingdom, the packaged dvd player. I replaced it with a teac dvd player and it worked like a dream! I threw the old disk (I think it was a matsu * has, but can't remember the exact model). in any case, I came home and had a little time on my hands, so I decided to set my machine and corrupted the windows xp registry.

    Now, windows xp runs in the loop, I can't access and I need to wipe the hard drive and start again essentially. I put the recovery disk in, but the computer doesn't read him and desperately wants his wacky way to windows. I believe that it is not recognizing the teac drive that I used to replace the old. I think that if I put an original return type, the firmware can recognize the drive and I'll be back in business... or so I hope!

    of course, all the other tips would be welcome too! Thank you.

    work around? PS a work around, I thought so... copy the contents of the diskette of recovery on a hard drive (using my old computer) can change the current hard drive in my a60 with it... theory; When the computer detects the content during the start-up, it will install xp on another part of this drive and I have a working machine once again. could - this something like this work? any thoughts?

    Hello

    I found these:
    Toshiba SD-C2612
    Toshiba SD-R6332
    Matsu * a UJ-811BTJA-A
    Matsu * a UJDA760

    Toshiba SD-R2512
    TEAC DW-224TH

    It is only a part of the list mentioned in the manual. Check it!

  • What dvd burner is compatible with Tecra A2

    Hello

    I want to know what dvd burners are compatible with my tecra A2 because I bought a dvd burner and does not work with the tecra A2 (IDE1 #error).
    There is nothing about it in the manual.

    Can you help me?
    Thank you.

    This #error IDE1 appears because of the evil master\slave\c-salt settings.
    All Toshiba slim line discs works in cable (CSEL) default selection mode. In other words, the player receives a signal from the laptop it say if it needs to act as a master or a slave device on the IDE channel.

    Some portable computers on the market do not work according to this specification, but use the way inverted CSEL signal to save a bit of power electric. If you are installing a drive running in standard CSEL mode in such a laptop, the inverted signal will require to work evil master/slave mode giving the reader the logical address as the hard drive installed on the same IDE channel. Accordingly, the optical drive, HARD drive or both cannot be detected by the BIOS and is not usable. Some laptops may display an error message at the start, for example 'IDE #1 error"or similar.

    In some user manuals, you can find information about compatible CD/DVD players.
    Did you check that?

    If you find any details on a compatible player then contact ASP in your country for info. You can also order such driver of these guys here.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro M30: What DVD burner is compatible?

    Hi people, ask yourself if you can help.

    I have a sat Pro M30 but it came with a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. I decided that I would be able to write DVDs with it also. Can someone point me in the direction of a substitute for the current drive - I really don't want an external, but a replacement for one that is already there. Product ID and where to buy would be really nice.

    Thank you
    Richard.

    Hi Richard

    As far as I know MS M30 is similar to Satellite M30. As far as I know that the Satellite M30 has a Super-Multi drive Matsu * a UJ-820. I guess you can use the same player with your device.

    Good bye

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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).

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

    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?

    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.
