  • 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?

    Could someone help please?

    My computer laptop readings (1 GB) fine standard sd cards,.

    Impossible to find info in manual

    The answers really appreciated

    Thank you, Mark

    Hello!

    Equium M70 only supports SD cards up to 1 GB, so the SDHC cards will not work.

    You can find this information in the user manual. I checked and so, I know this.
    If you don t have the user manual, you can download it on the Toshiba site.

  • Equium L20-197 does not burn DVD

    Hello

    I've had my Toshiba Equium L20-197 for more than a year. I have problems with the DVD burner. He is able to play DVDs, burn CDs and play perfectly fine CDs, is not just to burn DVDs. Had this problem for months, I was wondering if anyone knows a solution for it!

    Secondly, a question more than a question. Is it possible to set the "Play/pause" media key to open an alternative application to Windows Media Player? I use Winamp, and it would be nice if I could take a break using this button and I not WMP opens in the process!

    Thank you

    Astiak.

    Hello

    First something about burning your DVDs of problem.
    Have you tried to burn different types of DVDs? I mean if you have tried different brands of DVD?
    I use only the TDK CD and DVD and I am satisfied. But this does not mean that the TDK will work with your hard drive. The fact is that not all readers of support all media.

    In any case, do you have an error message during the burning process? Have you used different burning applications? I only use one program for burning (Nero) and I do not mix the burning software. I noticed that the sonic program installed on the laptop could have a negative influence on the burning process.

    But on the other side, it is possible that disk and that only aid failures.
    Especially the lens of the drive can not calibrate properly and so the CD / DVD cannot be recognized or burned.

    Now the button configuration media;
    Unfortunately, the buttons are configured fix and it is no longer possible to use WMP if audio CD has been inserted or with WinDVD if the DVD has been inserted.

    I hope I could help bye ;)

  • Equium L20 battery does not load

    I have an Equium L20 what battery does not charge. The Windows Powermanagment says he is in charge, but the percentage increases ever, I tried different batteries with the same symptom as a result.
    Battery LED is orange glowing as if his load but no matter how long I leave it on charge, percentage does not change. Windows detects the battery as well with all the correct information... I tried to remove the battery, to no avail. .
    Is it a software or a hardware problem?

    Published by: ADMIN on June 7, 2008 08:12

    Hello

    I also believe that it is hardware problem. There must be some problem with electronic power electronic board. Particular component? This component is placed on the motherboard, and I don't really know if you can exchange it separately.

  • Equium L20-197 does not light up at all - on button / stop flashes and nothing happens

    Hello

    I own an Equium L20-197 and it currently has a power problem. It does not light up at all. When the device is connected to the machine the orange light comes on to show that there is a power source but when I hit the power button the flash just buttons and nothing happens.

    If I hit him again once all the lights go out and the whole system fails.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    Did you put this phone in the standby or hibernation mode?

    Read this description, it seems that the laptop has been in one of these modes and cannot wake up.
    Try to remove the battery from the laptop and unplug the power adapter.
    Several waiting time (~ 20 min) and reconnect the battery and the AC adapter.
    Then try again to put the laptop.

    If she will not be able to boot up the laptop I presume the ESF on the dysfunctions of the motherboard.
    In this case the contact of technicians would be desirable.

  • Equium L20 - memory does not display correctly?

    Hi I just bought an Equium L20. First time I had a Laptop.In the card it says 256 MB memory. But when I checked the system it says I have 192 MB. Where's the other the 64 MB? Or am I just drive I thought.

    [Edited by: admin November 13 05 13:03]

    Hello

    you really have to 256 MB of memory. But for the moment, your laptop uses only 192 MB, because the other 64 MB are used as additional video memory to the graphics card.

    By the way, you should be thinking of an upgrade of memory, 256MB is not so.

  • 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

    Rob

    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:

  • Equium L20 - cannot complete the recovery procedure - disk error

    Hello

    I have a laptop Equium L20 and whats happened is, during a recovery of product, he gets to 25% then emits an error at me and stops working.

    Now when I turn on the laptop, I get the Toshiba screen, then nothing.
    I was informed that my drive is probably broken and I now no operating system but I am a complete computer novice so don't know how it is.

    I took the laptop to PC world a few years ago and they run a recovery of product but I did not my drive, so I want to know is, is it possible to run recovery without the disc?
    (seems to me just don't forget the sound by pressing a few buttons)

    If so, how?
    And if not what someone have any suggestions as to how I can restore the computer?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    > during a recovery of product, sometimes about 25% then emits an error at me and stops working.

    As you mentioned, possibly recovery disk is defective, broken, or similar, this could be the reason why the CD/DVD drive is not able to read the disc and the installation breaks upward.

    You cannot get this phone without the recovery disk! It is an old series laptop and it does not support the HARD drive recovery process, as do other mobile most recent.

    If you have only two ways to install the Windows operating system; you need to use the Toshiba recovery disc (which seems to be broken) or you can install the operating system by using the Microsoft Windows XP disk.

    If install you the operating system using the disk of MS original then you need to install the drivers of Toshiba which are placed on the European driver Toshiba page (look in the archives).

    PS: maybe you could try to burn (copy) the recovery disk using another computer.
    In some cases of the different drives are able to read scratched discs.
    If you want to be successful and if you want to be able to copy the recovery disk, you can then use the new disk in order to restore the operating system on your computer satellite phone.

  • Equium L20: Effect Larsen Audio with webcam and MSN Messenger

    Hello

    I am a user starting with an Equium L20 connected to a Logitech Web camera and an MSN e-mail account.
    When I live via MSN Messenger video conversation with my daughter (300 miles) there is a very high-pitched sound of feedback that gets worse, as we speak.

    It is not the webcam because it does not occur when the webcam is connected to a friends laptop and we tired 4 different ones with the same result. Is not the configuration wireless and broadband or something in our House as it does the same thing when it is connected to another (different) system 300 miles away.

    Our retailer said it is not for lack of material, but cannot solve the problem despite the download of new speakers and takes us through the balance between volume settings and the wave in volume control (only works when the volume is too low to be incomprehensible!). They are now blaming MSN software.

    They do not add external speakers via the connection of the headphones, but as this does not "turn off" the laptop speakers we always get feedback - as we do with headphones.

    Ideas accepted with gratitude that we are missing out on see our 7 month old granddaughter growing up!

    Thank you in anticipation

    Hello

    I guess that the webcam is supported by a clean microphone and therefore sound feedback occurs.
    Audio feedback can occur when the audio received by a participant through its speakers, then go into the microphone.
    All participants MUST have a helmet to separate audio cross over between the speakers and microphones. It is also VERY important to make sure that you have selected the microphone on your headphones and NOT the one with the built-in webcam.
    Webcam microphones have a wide range and pick up lots of ambient noise and are not ideal for 2-way conversations. To ensure that the correct microphone is selected right hand mouse click on the video window, select settings, select the microphone icon and make sure that your headset is selected. The slider bar will adjust the volume level.

    In addition, I found a useful FAQ page on the Toshiba site:
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ6201DW000YR01.htm

    It does NOT describe the same question but very similar to yours. Maybe it will help you.

  • 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.

    Thanks in advance

    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
