• Equium L20 constantly out hot air

  Hello

  I've had my Equium L20 for about 2 years now and I am a little concerned about my vents on the left side of the laptop.
  He is constantly out hot air, - is this normal?
  Because I don't know that it is only used to make from time to time with huge blow the whistle

  Also I tried to open my laptop to clean the fan, but I couldn't open the back as there were so many screws to subscribe for each section

  Any suggestions or help?

  > It is constantly out hot air, - is this normal?
  Of course, it of normal. Internal devices like the CPU or GPU still produce a lot of heat and cooling modules and fan to cool the internal devices to prevent overheating of the material.

  If your laptop does not close automatically and not to overheat and then everything is ok and you should t be worried ;)

• 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.

• 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 L20-197 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

• Is there standard LMB/RMB clicks at the bottom of the touchpad control touchpad area?

  I wanted to buy: http://www.x-kom.pl/p/203762-ultrabook-15-6-hp-envy-15-x360-u000ew-i5-4210u-4gb-1000-win81.html#

  but now I see there no normal touchpad but what does not work as it should in spectrum 13. The case is that each video speak on these new features (which will be obsolete when Windows 9 will happen) not if she still standard LMB/RMB click on.

  Question: If any the Control Zone have touchpade area mechanical mouse left and right button at the bottom of him as all other touchpad?

  I bought the HP ENVY 15-u000ew x 360

  http://WWW8.HP.com/pl/PL/products/laptops/product-detail.html?OID=7270951

  and I'm back just 2 days after purchase. The touchpad is very sticky. It moves in all possible directions in the body of the laptop. Also, it does not detect click LMB and RMB as it should and even sometimes simply do not resposnd at all. Even the body of the display is not uniformly mounted-> it moves on a right side.

  When I bought cheap Acer 1,5 years ago (V3 - 571G) I think this product is very poorly designed, now I see that HP is almost as bad as this V3 - 571G.

• 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!

• 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

• Equium L20: What software do I need to put on speakers?

  I recently had to reinstall windows on my Equium L20, and every time I turn it on there is a lot of software, I need for example for speakers and stuff that isn't already on here. It seems stupid, but I inherited this computer from someone else and I don't have any CD, so I would really appreciate someone to tell me what software is needed, what CD it is on (if I can ask the person who has always if they have it), or if there is an additional way to get this software?

  The only disks I have are the recovery disc and the additional software that's WinDVD about that.

  Help!
