• 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 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 L20-197 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: 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

• 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.

  But once again; everything you make are at your own risk!

• 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?

  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 L20-264: can I mix memory

  Thank you all for the information about upgrading memory on the Equium L20. This I have to have 2 of the same (for example to buy an another 256) where can I buy a 1 GB and while maintaining the current 256. Or do I have to buy two 1 GB.

  Hello

  You must not have two identical RAM module. You can mix. I recommend you put slot A and smaller cotyledon in slot B.

  By the way: compatible memory for your device are
  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)

• 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 L20-197 - 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 L20-197 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive

  Hi all

  I recently bought an Equium L20-197 and I thought to install a larger HARD drive.
  I wanted to know what the maximum size of HARD drive that can be installed on an Equium L20-197 (I guess it's 120 GB, as it is on the L20-187 but I'm not 100% sure)

  I have also been seaching for the IDE drives and found a list of sites who have PATA, ATA100 etc. are also the IDE drives? (I checked the wiki and articles all point Yes, but a little more confirmation would not hurt)

  I was also wondering if the HARD drive I install must be brand toshiba (or if it even makes a difference).

  Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide.

  Hello

  Equium L20 is very similar to the Satellite L20.
  Search here in the forum for similar issues. If you want to use the advanced search option, you will find a few useful headings.

  I know, it's that you can use the 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB 2.5 IDE HARD drive supporting the UDMA100
