• Satellite P100-160 vertical stripes on screen

  My Toshiba Satellite P100 2 years suddenly developed a white vertical wide band of 4 cm on the screen (17 inches) one morning, covering the taskbar.
  A few days later and I had other vertical stripes, a black, multicolor, which sometimes change color.

  The laptop is now practically unusable.

  See photo at http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=aVRI_6i

  I have connected the VGA output to another monitor, and there is no tape.
  I also unplugged then replugged the cable below the left hinge and no difference.

  If this requires a new screen, it would be probably cheaper to buy a new laptop.
  But is it possible that it's just a problem for cable or contact?
  Or how a UPS fails?

  All advice appreciated.

  > I have connected the VGA output to another monitor and there is no tape.
  This means that your graphics card is OK, but the s display malfunction internal for laptop.
  That s in my opinion.

  You are right. Replacing the screen is not cheap the screen and the motherboard are the more expensive parts of laptop and a new screen would cost about 300Euros.

  If your warranty is the replacement must be done for free. But if it s not valid, then you will have to pay for it.

  It would be your own decision what to do and the decision is not easy

• 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:

• Equium L20 - same scalability as Satellite L20?

  Hello...

  I want to expand my satellite phone with a better battery and stuff just general for her. As RAM etc.

  It's the Web site contains next to NO options for my Equium L20 - 197.
  After having looked up a bit... the Satellite is located very close to that of the Equium...

  I would like to know... If I baught a battery labeled 'For Satellite' or lists of his compaitability with a Satellite L20... it would work in my Equium L20 correctly?

  I know it sounds a bit silly... but look at the specs...

• Equium L20-187 - HDD Upgrade

  I have an Equium L20-187 and I use an external portable hard drive at the moment and he has only 40 GB.

  Is it possible to install a new hard drive in this model?

  Hello!

  Of course, the HARD drive can be exchanged, it's not a problem.

  AFAIK your chipset has a limitation of LBA 48 bits, so the maximum capacity of the HARD drive is 120 GB.

  In addition, the new HARD disk must have an IDE interface and 2.5

  Hello Jan

  As far as I know for this device there is no available different batteries. Live batteries are available only for some Portege (business class units) units.

  As you know the life of the battery depends on the use. Maximum duration of use power management tool and set the CPU usage, method and other things at much lower level of cooling. On this way, you can save energy and use it a little longer.

• Equium L20-192: is one detailed record on processor?

  I have an Equium L20-192, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me the PLL not. that is ICS 956774, also if there is anyway to upgrade the processor, is possible to get one put a faster machine? All Information, does everyone think is also relevant would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Unfortunately, I can find no PLL no information but AFAIK the Equium L20-288 was shipped with the processor Intel Celeron-M (Dothan) 360 1.4 GHz.
  I also read in this forum that the upgrade of the CPU is not possible because of some reasons. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package).

• White/brown-ish vertical line on the screen (Equium L20)

  Hello
  I bought Equium L20 Currys January 2, 2006. Two weeks after that I noticed there is a thick white or sometimes brown-ish is placed vertically on the filter. This line is displayed when starting, well it used to, but now, sometimes even when I watch movies or surf the net, angling is just appeared not where. I don't know what the problem with it... someone help me please. Should I take it back to Currys and replace it with a new? I really don't want to do that because I have to start this computer from scratch. Thank you.

  Hi Muraidi,

  If this problem originally occurred during the startup of your system, then I think that maybe it's hardware related so I would definitely stay the Curry for her laptop to be investigated, it is still covered by the warranty.

  You can, of course, make a backup of your data before do you.

  Kind regards

• Home page and a few other Web pages have a vertical bar of 2 inches on each side of the page. How to permanently set set the pages to fill my screen?

  I have a HP - i5 with Win 7 and only use Firefox 35.0.5. Recently, I met some problems with my home page loading with blue text on the left side of my 2-inch screen and put it in the shop. Some viruses are removed and 35.0 FF was installed.

  Now my home page and pages loading with a 2 "empty bookmark bar vertically to each side of the page.

  Can I use zoom in on the view or the - + zoom and zoom to 100% to 133% increase, but this change is never permanent.

  Try to fix the problem I uninstalled FF 35.0 and installed FF 35.0.5 directly on the FF site. I also uninstalled AVG virus protection program. None of this has helped.

  How can I get rid of these vertical bars of 2 inches of empty space at all TIMES?

  I have a HP laptop with a processor AMD, Win 7 and Firefox 35.0.5 and he has never had this problem.

  Firefox should remember your level of zoom on a site-by-site basis. It is not "global browser" as in IE.

  Note: If you zap the history, make sure not to clear the Site preferences.

  If you need to adjust each site by about the same amount, you can use an add-on to set a higher level of the base line of the zoom. For example: Default FullZoom Level.

  Unfortunately, there is no unique zoom level that will work perfectly for all Web sites due to the preferences of individual positioning of their webmasters. But I hope you can find a good middle ground so you need not all zoom each time.

• My Late 2009 27 "iMac has problems and vertical stripes

  Hello friends,

  I'm looking for help with my iMac. A week ago the display began showing scattered pixels and it froze when switching between desktops. At this point, I restarted and the screen came with vertical lines, made of strips of color slightly different at intervals across the screen. There are five of these lines. Sometimes the lines persist through start upward and stay on the screen. Sometimes, they disappear and reappear later. Sometimes my computer freezes with lines and the apple logo and a progress bar. They stay when I boot in safe mode and my bootable backup as well.

  Abdesslem Support recommended a Genius Bar apt. To diagnose the prblem. I took it, by explaining that I thought it was a video card or the issuance of the logic board. Genius Bar says it's probably bad Ram. I went home and started to test the ram. I tried each piece individually and as a couple. I always had problems. I ran Memtest 86 and Rember each for hours at a time and got no errors. I tried to boot into Apple Hardware Test, but it never loaded. The internet says I should boot from my installation discs, which of course, I have more.

  I fear that the cost will be too prohibitive to repair and so far, each local repair company I called said that they repair the vintage iMacs.

  Any advice?

  This is again an iMac 2009 end 27 "with 16 GB of RAM DDR3 1066 Kingston into 4 sticks of 4.

  Try to replace your RAM with all the new RAM. You can check that the CrucialAdvisory tool, or OWC. Both are reliable suppliers. If the new RAM works fine. If not, return it.

• vertical stripes of white screen iMac

  I was using my iMac yesterday as usual. Surfing the internet, listening to music via iTunes when suddenly the screen 'glitched '. I got vertical stripes on the screen, the image was broken up and I couldn't communicate with anything. I restarted the iMac and he still had vertical stripes on the screen. I could see the Apple icon and loading bar which has been duplicated/broken upwards on the screen. Once the loading/progress bar has reached 100%, I just got a blank screen. I had to go out and when I came back 5 hours later the iMac has always had the same problem.

  Some of the things I've tried are;

  1 leaving it unplugged for a few hours, all reconnect and start the system again (pious).

  2. hold the CMD + SHIFT + R + P after turning the iMac on and then by running the disk on the iMac HD utility. I get a message "this disc needs to be repaired" but unfortunately after clicking on "Repair disk" the slopes of tools a bit before telling me "Disk utility can't repair this disk" (screenshot attached).

  I'll try to 'Reinstall Mac OS X' for Mac OS X utility (CMD + SHIFT + R + P), but he told me I couldn't because I was not connected to the internet? I was also worried that it might delete all my files?

  Most importantly, I want to do is retrieve the files on the hard drive. I hope that it is possible, although I can't on the desktop, that it looks like I can access the drive in the disc utilities. I heard that I might be able to connect a macbook to the damaged iMac and get the files on it like that? Is it feasible using a Firewire cable?

  Cheers, hope someone can share some tips.

  Steve

• 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.

• Tecra 8100: vertical stripes on the screen

  I just bought a second hand Tecra 8100, who has been stripped of all its programs, OS. So I installed Windows98SE on this - now I get a screen with vertical stripes, which perch in the middle of the screen of the laptop with Windows just about visible in the background.

  I went to the display driver Toshiba and downloaded Web pages relevant windows 98se. Once on my laptop, the exe file does nothing; is neither their "graphics card" option in my device manager - everyone has ideas as to what is happening?

  Hello

  Please connect external monitor to your laptop and check if the result is the same. If so, there is probably a problem with the graphics card. If this isn't the case, I presume your laptop LCD screen is defective.
