• 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 L20-264 - CPU upgrade

  Hello world

  I have Toshiba Equium L20-264 and I want to move into gear
  Can someone help me please?

  I had already upgraded to 2 GB of Ram, but my CPU is still 1.4 GHz.

  Please guide me what to do and if it supports several Ghz processor, which will be the best place to buy.

  Thank you.

  I assume that you have not read all the posts here in the forum about upgrading the CPU s for laptop?
  Did you?

  Some facts first:
  Update CPU is very delicate and depends on the chipset and BIOS support.
  In case one of the parties (chipset or bios) would not support new CPU, the will to power laptop on.

  Second: the laptop seems to be equipped with an Intel Celeron - M CPU, and I suppose the other Intel Celeron-M CPU be compatible:
  Intel Celeron M 370 (1.5 Ghz)
  Intel Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz)

  Everything supports the FSB 400 Mhz

  But guess what? Even if you add the new processor at 1.6 Ghz, the performance gain will be not noticeable. So in my eyes, CPU upgrade for this old book is useless. It won't add any performance benefits.

• Equium L20 - cannot start Windows mode of

  Hello

  I was wondering if you can help me. I have an Equium L20 - 197, windows xp home edition. (Also technically challenged!  :)) When I booted my computer laptop first time today, I received this message-

  «We are sorry for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully upward...» »
  and he gave me a few methods of commissioning:
  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Last good Configuration know (your most recent settings that worked)
  and
  Start Windows normally

  I was able to start press start windows normally and start the computer very well. I turned off the computer OK, then it was restarted later without any problems. I then restored in a frame earlier that the system did not work well. Restore seemed to go OK but then my computer froze, then were shut down by pressing the power button.

  However, the laptop will now not reboot. Just as I think it starts it goes to the error message and none of the options will work to start the computer, and I am now stuck on an endless loop of the above message.

  I don't want to use the product recovery disc, that he will wipe away all of the hard drive and I have the info I need access to! I have a recovery CD product for a Fujitsu which has windows xp edition family sp 1 on him. Is it possible that I can use this to start my computer or is there something else I need to do? I thought after pressing F12 and if it is possible to use the other drive Fujitsu to launch boot my system but do not know if this is possible. I don't have an xp disk from toshiba installation disc, when I bought the computer. :(

  I learned by a guy from the computer to the phone that sounds as if I need a new hard drive but would like to explore other methods before you go this route.

  Thank you very much in advance for any help you can give me. Susi

  Hi SusiB_1,

  Unfortunately, if you can start Windows t in any of these modes you have only one option and that is reinstall Windows. I mean you should do? You can do anything in this case

  As you wrote wipes disc, the whole HARD disc Toshiba Recovery and that's right because it of needed to recover to factory settings. But normally you should have a backup of your data or not?
  If this isn't the case, you can access the data, if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. From another computer, you now have access to these data.

  By the way: for Toshiba recovery disc you n t need a product key. Everything is already done in the recovery image and no activation is necessary. :)

• Equium L20 does not load Windows

  Had problems with Equium L20-198 my daughter - it starts in the screen with the safe mode/start windows normally, then if I press on enter the windows XP splash screen appears for a few seconds then flashes quickly on a clear blue screen with the text that I can't read because it then goes off - starts again on its own and is constantly going through the same things.

  We have a recovery disk, but using it would erase all the files?

  Yes, recovery disk would erase OS preinstalled but probably offer you the opportunity to have own OS preinstalled, which should work fine.

  I didn't understand one thing: you can start Windows XP Home edition in safe mode?

• 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...

  1. How can I remove the existing memory? Is there a guide of the user on this operation?

  2 How many slots have?

  3. What is the max memory per slot?

  4. can I buy Toshiba memory directly?

  It is rather urgent and would like a quick answer.

  Thanks in advance
  Rag99

  Hi mate.

  As far as I know your laptop supports two memory locations.
  They must be placed at the bottom of the unit.
  If you n t know how to change this then I recommend consulted the user manual!
  The manual can be downloaded from the Toshiba European page.
  I think that the laptop can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. So, you can use 1 GB of RAM in one slot.

  PS: you must use the RAM DDR2 PC2-4200 memory - 200pin modules

• 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 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:

• Upgrades memory battery/Equium L20-264

  Hello

  I want to improve memory my equium l20-264 to the maximum which is about 2G I think and I was wondering what parts of memory I need to do this? He currently heads the 256 MB standard, but I'm not sure if I need to replace that with a higher memory 256 AND get a new one to compensate for the amount or if I can buy a souvenir that will do the job. Is also editing them something that I can do myself or should I consider somewhere for them to do?

  The other thing is the battery life is only 1.5hours and hoped to obtain a superior capacity for her battery? Anyone know if I can do it and so what battery need and how long it lasts?

  Thanks in advance

  GATS

  Hi the GATS.

  Your laptop has two banks of memory (usually accessible by a small flap on the bottom of the unit). He must have a slot in use at present with a 256 MB card installed. New RAM modules are available in sizes of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB so to get all of the 2 GB, you will need to replace the 256 MB card existing with 2 X 1 GB modules.

  The site of Toshiba UK lists all the options that are available for your model (!), but I found the options available on the following web - site: -.

  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=20877&ft=m&St=3

  I don't think it will be possible to install an additional capacity for your laptop battery and 1.5 hours you CITIES seem just to me for this model.

  Kind regards

• Equium L20 - Download Driver Toshiba problems

  I had to install a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. Problems with HARD drive and I have no backup discs. No problems with installation. All the Windows updates installed.

  The question that I find now has loading drivers. In the Device Manager I have three drivers with Code 28 (no drivers installed).

  1. video controller
  2. Ethernet controller
  3. s M Bus

  Using the Toshiba Equium L20 downloads drivers I can't install the Intel Chipset which I think will allow other devices to have installed the drivers. The Intel Chipset driver starts to download then gives a message to view the reading gave me on how to install the drivers via a different medium (they say floopy) but I can use CD disc or USB key. Problem is that the jargon is well above my head.

  I can access the internet with a wired connection, but impossible to use the wireless device (i.e. controller driver Ethernet not installed). All of the other driversdownloaded and work via downloads driver Toshiba.

  Can someone tell me how I can get the Chipset Intel driver to install, in secular terms?

  In General, all pilots should be available on [Page Driver Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]

  > 1. Video controller
  > 2. Ethernet controller
  > S M Bus

  1 graphics card driver
  2 driver Lan
  3 chipset (it should be chipset)

• Equium L20: What drives are compatible

  Hi people I'm looking for some advice.

  I have the Equium L20 for 30 months and would like to put a bigger hard drive in but I'm not sure of what is compatible (installed is Toshiba MK4026GAX 40 GB) I want to put vista and have more space.

  I already have 2048 + ddr2 but now I need space and thought, it would be cheaper to do so than to buy a new laptop.

  Any help much appreciated

  Hello

  I read some threads here in this forum on the compatible HARD drive for laptops Satellite Equium L20 and you can certainly use the 60GB, 80 GB SATA hard drives.
  The BIOS must recognize without big problems.

• 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!
