• Satellite L20-181: the WLan switch is not available - cannot activate the Wlan antenna

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L20-181 and I bought an Intel Mini PCI Wifi Pro/Wireless 2200BG so that I place it in the empty Mini PCI connector it has in order to have the wireless.

  While I placed it on a regular basis also antennas etc the Intel utility sends me a message that the network connection is disabled and that I should use the switch on the front panel of the laptop to turn it on.

  This switch located in the laptop from the front is a button that is not reinforced.

  Any ideas guys?

  Also, I found a Satellite L20 manual on the Toshiba site and there I found information that the WLan functionality is not available on all models.

  Hello

  The news that you are quite right. Toshiba has tested this laptop with the memory modules to follow:
  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)

  As you can see it's memory module DDR2 and if you use the part (PA.) to the Google number, you will find many online offereor where you can order this tested memory.

• Upgrading processor on Satellite L20-181

  Can I insert in my laptop Toshiba Satellite L20-181 (Intel Celeron M 380 processor) Intel Pentium 4 processor 521 (for laptop)?

  Sorry, my English is weak.

  Hello

  No, to my knowledge it of certainly not possible to upgrade the satellite L20 with a processor Intel P4 CPU.
  As far as I know that the motherboard supports a mobile Intel socket 479 and it should be possible to use only the processors Celeron-M as follows:
  Intel Celeron M 350 (1.30 GHz) - 360 (1.40 GHz) - 370 (1.50 GHz) - 380 (1.60 GHz) with 400 Mhz FSB

  In my opinion the stronger processors will cause overheating.

• Question about upgrading memory on the Satellite L20-181

  Hello

  The recommended minimum is memory for Windwows XP 256 MB and I don't understand how the company could get far notebook sale with integrated graphics with 256 MB shared system memory.

  In any case, I want to improve my Toshiba and my intention is to buy 512 MB more memory, such as http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=20049&ft=m&st=3

  Will it work properly with 768 MB or I will only buy the same pair: 256 + 256, 512 + 512?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  First of all, you are not right. Windows XP also works with the low value of the memory.
  But of course it depends on memory so the OS applications will run more rapid or slower.

  However, the fact is that you can upgrade the memory on your laptop and it doesn't mater if the modules have the same value of memory or not.
  In this case, the laptop came with 256 MB and you can install detox the second module of 512 MB memory.

  PS: I recommend installing the 512 MB in the first slot and the 256 MB in the second Bank.

• Annoying the cooling system on Satellite L20

  I have this model of Toshiba and I am highly disappointed its cooling capabilities. Fan is starting work every 2 minutes or even earlier, it's boring because fan starts with a high speed which is quite noisy. I know that some other laptop manufacturers had a similar problem with one of their models, and then they put online new Bios with possibility of putting the fan on the down low all the time that keeps the CPU at a lower temperature.

  In silent mode, my CPU gets 59 ° C, without any hard work, is it too? I think it's too much for you. This is a common problem in L - 20.
  Why Toshiba didn't deliver Bios with more extended options fan?
  Too fresh?

  [Edited by: admin on July 24, 2006 09:30]

  Hello

  Cooling options usually you can find in the power management tool. Unfortunately, your unit is shipped without it. As far as I know, the BIOS is the same and L20 has no special BIOS with more cooling options. I put t believe that the high costs can be the reason for the creation of the BIOS update but I assume that there may be some critical level that must be exceeded and that the update will be designed.

  I put t know how old is your device, but I recommend you to clean the appliance, remove any dust that don t allow cooling procedure correctly.

  I put t agree with you on the temperature of the CPU, because I use control tool for equipment small notebook and the temperature of the CPU in my case is always approximately 56-62 ° C in the case where when I use it just for writing, as in this moment. Because of this, I put t agree with your comment on the common problem.

• Can I extend the RAM on Compaq NX9110?

  My old HP laptop is incredibly slow to start I would try to add little RAM

  For the moment, I think I have 512 MB. In the compartment at the back of the laptop, I found a 256MBcard but I read in some documents:

  Standard memory more memory in option
  Support for up to 2048 MB of SDRAM DDR 333 MHz memory is available with the installation of optional SDRAM DDR memory Kits.

  Zero memory on the system board
  Total 2 slots
  1-256 MB DIMM installed in Slot 1
  1-additional slot open memory

  NOTE: user 1 available slot located under the appliance, 1 location under the bridge of keyboard.

  This site continues with:

  Standard memory with optional memory upgrades
  Support for up to 2048 MB memory SDRAM is available with the installation of optional updates of SDRAM memory.

  Memory                Slot 1                Slot 2

  256 MB                    256 MB            Vacuum

  512 MB                   256 MB            256 MB

  512 MB                    512 MB              Vacuum

  NOTE: This table represents all possible memory configurations. The standard nature of industry not some third-party memory modules, we strongly recommend to use only HP memory modules marked for compatibility.

  When I look at it it seems to me they mean the one under the keyboard with Slot 1 and slot 2 would be the one where I found the 256 MB, I opened.

  I don't see the option to add 1024Mo Slot2 if Slot 1 contains only 256 MB.

  In the documentation I received with the laptop, I have read that this: the laptop has 2 housing which is available for the upgrade with 256-512 or 1024 MB

  Before you buy an extra RAM I would like to be sure.

  Spces: Compaq NX9110 - Windows XP Professional

  I thank very you much for your help much appreciated of Paul.

  I took my courage and tried to look under the keyboard using the manual and it really is not difficult. I even managed to close up without a missing screw.

  Then I'll go and order 2 Gb. Hope it speeds up a lot.

• How to extend the partition C on Satellite L450 - 17K

  Hello

  I'm working on how I can change the size of the partition on my hard drive my C drive is nearly full, and D is a pain to keep anything on that most of what I have links to my Ipad that does not detect it when its on drive D!

  Is there anyway to delete the partition or change the size of it without losing my data or having to restart my system?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  It is possible to change the size of the partitions in the management of the disks in win 7.

  But you will not be able to shrink the partition D and add this free space on the C partition using the Windows option because the free space would be created after the D partition.
  To move the free space between D and C partition a 3rd party software is necessary.

  I recommend the use of a tool called * GParted.*

  It s freeware and you can use it to manage your partitions on the HARD disk.
