  Change the language, it's not what you need to do. Go to the control panel
  | Region and language. Click the keyboards and languages tab and then
  Change keyboards. Choose the correct keyboard (American or British).

• Tecra A9 - keyboard "unlocks" and bad characters are typed

  Keyboard "unlocks" and bad characters are typed using the QWERTY layout. Have tried to change the language options with some success in the short term.

  However changes in languages quickly becomes "unlocked".
  How can I solve this problem?

  Advice please.
  Thanks, Mike

  Hello

  To be honest, I don't know what you're talking about.
  If your keyboard does not match the language of the keyboard, then you should change that and should add new language.

  In this case, you will be able to switch between languages, using SHIFT + ALT shortcuts

  Of course, you can also remove the other languages. In this case, the SHIFT + ALT will not function.

• 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: 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...

• Satellite Pro L20 keyboard problems not fixed by the update of the BIOS

  Hello

  When I type in MS Word or another application, certain characters are not displayed. This problem is known.
  I followed the recommendation of the TOSHIBA BIOS V1.30 for PSL25E update. Unfortunatey, it does not help.
  I would be gateful to any Advisor.

  Thank you

  Hi Olbur

  I didn't find any official document on this subject, as you say, known issue. Can you please send a link?

  I have the Satellite L20 and there is not much difference for Satellite Pro L20 and I have no such problems, but I'm interesting about this. The L20 keyboard is not the best one, but all the characters are not displayed correctly. Maybe you type fast. ;)

• 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?

  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!

• Strange problem using cloned hard drive - Equium L20

  I recently cloned the 40 GB Toshiba hard drive in my Equium L20. Boot from the new drive everything starts fine, but for some reason, I can't the LAN or wireless to work!

  For example, to view the settings on the wireless generally show a window with 3 tabs, one for services, one for authentication and one for the firewall (I am running XP here). But on the new disc hard, I see two tabs, the Authentication tab is missing. Looking at the Device Manager on the original hard drive - I have two devices as expected, LAN and Wireless, but on the cloned drive here? loads, including loads of trend Miniport drivers too.

  It's like something has not just copied, and I don't know where to start!

  Hello

  I m not an expert on this subject.
  But who knows? Maybe you have cloned the drive properly!
  It really seems like you did something wrong.

  How do you clone HARD drive?

  In my case, I only create an image of a partition C. This partition has been saved as an image .gho file.
  I can always use this file and can restore my C partition on each new HARD disk that is installed in my notebook.
  and everything works smoothly!

• Equium L20-198: need a updated ATi display driver

  Hello

  I bought a laptop Equium L20 and being graphics, I notices that there is a serious problem with the features of opengl/directx in terms of vertex shaders.

  I create my own 3d applications and I found that shader/pixel pixel programs compile and run quickly on the hardware, but when you compile the vertex shader, they run only on the software that revolves around about 7 fps...

  I can't update the driver on the net, at ATi or here at Toshiba... will you be updated video drivers soon? as it is a big problem for me and maybe a big problem for all those people out there whose games, applications dependent on vertex programs...

  Thank you

  Kevin

  Hey Kevin,

  I can't help with the complexities of the development of graphics, but you can find drivers for ATI's Omega of some use.

• Equium L20: How to use the recovery CD if the CD/DVD drive is faulty?

  Hello

  I have an Equium L20 at the mo and unfortunately the CD/DVD drive is damaged and is no longer works (I can't even open the drawer), and I can't start up.

  Of course, I can't start the recovery CD is if there is another solution? I tried to create a bootable USB but I can't make it work, whenever I ask the bios to run it it runs as if it is a hard drive and says "operating system not found '. I reached the end of my train of thought so any help would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  Tom

  Hi Tom

  You want to use your laptop with defective CD/DVD drive all the time? Why you don't want to trade the player and all your problems will be gone. The drive cannot be expensive and I am sure that you can exchange it only.

• 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.
