External output video - Satellite Pro L20

My L20 recently stopped video output (DVD, programs) to an external projector. Images, etc. are fine, but no program within it - just an empty space. Another output of the screen is not affected. Everything used to work properly.

I am not aware of having changed anything on the machine.
Is this hardware, settings, software?
Suggestions welcome.

Hello

I think that it s just a matter of adjustment.
Something similar happened on my laptop.
I started the program WinDVD for DVD movies, and then I spent on TV.
It's a wrong procedure! It of important and necessary to switch to external monitor first, and then run the program WinDVD!

Maybe it of the same problem! Check it!

  • Satellite Pro L20 - no audio output device installed

    Hi, I would appreciate some help with my installation of 32 bit Vista on my Satellite Pro L20 series.

    Installation went well but my sound icon has a cross with her and when I place the mouse over it I see the message: no audio output device installed. I went in full with privilagesand Device Manager there is an exclamation following audio controller appliances. I looked at the General properties and it says: "this device is not configured correctly (code 1). I uninstalled the driver and downloaded Realtek AC97-Ref: 6285_Vista_APO_PG536 driver installed and rebooted but I still got the same error messages!

    Can someone help me? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times now, I don't know where to go next!

    Concerning

    Hello

    As a boarder, said, if you have a Conexant sound card, you should look for a Conexant audio driver.
    The Realtek driver will never work because that makes this different s.

    Check other Toshiba laptops for the same card his Conexant. Maybe you can find a Conexant Vista driver.

  • Satellite Pro L20 would not publish.

    I received a Satellite Pro L20 who had probably overheated (was running with contribution covered and turns off for good).

    So far I had removed everything and mobo appears intact. I had allowed cmos and disconnected the battery, reinstall CPU (tested ot in a separate mobile - good) and I tried to start the internal/external screen with no effect. It starts well, fan turns and responds to the shortcut keys / deals with optical and hard drive but gives no video output. I can't test the ddr2 memory as the other laptop is ddr.

    Is there a way to test the video output somehow? F5 (with connected external monitor) several attempts but don't know if he responded to it at all. It responds to the reset / wireless, powers down and changes corresponding s LED but gives without being eps either. And Board of Directors has no led indicator. Powering with F12 does nothing. And there is a clicking noise when you start (with headphones).

    Any ideas would be very welcome.

    P.S. The profanity? At least mark what you think, it's blasphemy - spend 10 minutes to make it messy and get what abbriviation consider you profanity...

    You already have thougt that the motherboard could be defective? I mean the machine give some answers but it won´t come up anyway. It could be:

    -Defective RAM
    -overheaten CPU
    -some resistance or capacitor on the map
    -Perhaps that you have forgotten something or some metals inside the machine fold which causes some short circuit (there was already this case a few weeks ago here in the forum, the guy disassembled the machine again and discovered that some metal shielding of the base that was turn during reassembly of the laptop.) It caused a brief signs and come the didn t machine..)
    -a faulty device (such as HDD, modem, keyboard, mouse, and any other PCB) which translates the non bootable.

    Check the machine carefully (maybe it would be good to take it apart again), so if the machine after checking the won´t happen then you should give the machine to a toshiba technician. Maybe he knows better?

    See you soon

  • Satellite Pro L20 - no color on TV

    Satellite Pro L20 PS25E with mobile Intel 915 video card is connected to the PAL TV and gives only bw image. Settings to PAL BG in the video card, yet only B & W photo. Other forums say this photo card ALWAYS give NTSC and cannot produce the PAL color. Is this true?

    Hope that no, I bought three laptop computers of this type and was eager to connect to the TV in the House. Any help appreciated ;)

    Hi retrieber_1,

    Usually if you get only a black & white picture it's a wrong output setting of your laptop. I think that it s something wrong with the settings PAL and NTSC.
    As a first step, you must update the display driver. Latest you can download from the Toshiba page driver.

    And what cable you use for this connection? S-VHS cable?
    If so try another cable. Use a cable of high quality, especially if you have a cable long enough.

  • Satellite Pro L20 goes wrong with i.f. audio Fast Track USB

    Hello!

    I used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had any problems with it. I could put a low latency and I did a few songs with him.

    Yesterday, I bought another laptop, thinking of recording studio at home. He used the Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It does not work with my interface. When I listen to music on Winamp or anything on Fruity Loops, I hear strong clicks, pop, noise. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback, or after a sample is stopped.

    I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba more? The only chipset drivers are old, and you can download em only from site Web from Toshiba. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200 M. Its pilots are with the graphics card. Recently I noticed that you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - card mother/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK to make it possible to install on a mobile device like the L20. Yep it's funny, but its impossible to do otherwise!

    things that I have tried and they have still not help:
    replacement of drivers #, original were released in 2004. I installed the version.
    driver settings #, low latency, high latency
    # asio and different settings
    pluging # USB interface to another.
    # try what happens when I use the battery and when to use the adapter
    # update BIOS
    # off units such as wifi, card sound card on board
    # checked IRQ list

    persistent organic pollutants will always appear.

    my config:

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
    Win XP Home SP3
    Celeron M 1, 5 GHz
    896 MB of ram
    M - Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2

    Kind regards

    Initially, I wonder that you use old notebook L20 now. You have no more L40?

    You must understand that the Satellite Pro L20 is older model laptop and also not the best choice for such operations. This laptop is probably designed for simpler day-to-day operations such as the internet, e-mail, office, a little bit of multimedia and that s all the.

    I don't mean good old classic doesn't work with your external device, but you will be lucky if someone has the same external device and the same model of laptop and write about their own experiences.

    Do you use factory settings or you have installed the own operating system?

  • Satellite Pro L20: 37, 5 GB on the disk instead of 40 GB?

    I bought a satellite pro l20, which is supposed to have a 40 GB hard drive, but there only a hard drive Go 37.5. is there any reason its slightly smaller than its supposed to be?

    Hi Matt,

    The capacity of your hard drive is usually quoted as 40 GB because the actual capacity is measured in bytes. For GB 37.5, this would be equivalent to 37.5 X 1024 X 1024, which gives a figure of 39,321,600 (usually quoted as 40 GB).

    I use a 80 GB hard drive in my SA30 and gives a total output of 76,29 GB.

    It's just the way the hard drive industry cites the ability of their readers. :-)

    Kind regards

  • Beep on Satellite Pro L20

    You just bought a new Satellite Pro L20 PSL25E-00K00CEN, less than 12 days old. He had these recurring short beep (1-2 sec), perhaps that every 20 minutes then maybe every hour. But no notification of what the beep wasn't on. Laptop works on current electric.

    No external device connected or disconnected. None of the obvious reasons. Beeps occur if I'm working on the laptop or not.
    Would be very grateful if anyone has similar problems and solutions?

    I even turned off "sound and notification" of the Panel, but never stopped beeping!

    Hello

    I don't know what could be the noise.
    The fact is that the beep occurs during the computer laptop startup procedure. It is usually a beep code. But this should not appear in the operating system and if the unit is running.
    However, this seems very strange. Your laptop is fairly new and the warranty is valid. You should ask the Toshiba service partner for review. Maybe he knows more about this strange event.

    Please post again if you will get more information.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - can I put it to Draft N?

    Can anyone of you thin people help me?

    Satellite Pro L20
    Centrino 1.8 GHz processor
    1 GB OF RAM
    Windows XP

    I have a Satellite Pro L20 who has a tiny inside wireless card, IE wireless b/g and I was wondering if I could replace it by a minié n wireless card.
    It is said in the literature that it should be a mini PCI type 111. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you all for your valuable time.

    I agree with Luke antenna WLan 802.11 N standard needs 3-wire WLan to be able to run with better performance. AFAIK the antenna WLan used in L20 has only 2 sons and this may affect the functionality of Draft N.

    I also recommend using a USB external Wlan key, which provides Draft N performance.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - overheating of the power cable

    Hello

    For several months, I had problems with the keys suddenly works intermittently. Although brushing under the keys with a toothbrush relieved the problem for awhile it obviously was not the main cause. Each time, so not attributable to each of the keys of damaged to different keys.

    When unplugging the power cable from the metal part is very hot, and I worked on the problem of keys occurs only when the computer is running on a/c AND the battery is fully charged. In other words, no problem on the battery or recharging. The adapter is also hot, but guess that's 'normal '.

    The power cable has been tested directly from another outlet and not ongoing execution of the usual belkin surge protector, external sources seem so plotted on. I tried to find another cable/adapter to test but living very rural location of doubt this will be possible or practical.

    The fan seems to work OK, the air coming out of the side is very hot. It does not appear to be clogged with dust. Also, the area of the laptop above the fan heats up.

    Sometimes the computer crashes on black or blue screen (on iplayer lately, maybe other progs too) but the noise continues. I turned off by pressing the button for 5 seconds, but he still works for a while. I guess from overheating. But not some of it is always on a/c-do not charge, it may be on a/c-charge as well.

    Sometimes the computer seems confused if he is re-load, on a/c or battery. At least the icon switches and requires a session to unplug the device before doing things.

    Other times it is the machine of Angel since last two years! It's a Satellite Pro L20, the adapter's clover LiteOn 65W, 19V 3. 42 a. part PA3396E-1ACA (what I see is no longer available).

    Searched through but not found any similar problem, but hope someone can advise me what to do next!
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Robin

    It doesn't sound good. According to the specifications of the laptop, you have the right AC adapter. In my opinion you should contact the partner of service authorized in your country. Make a call and I hope they can help you how to handle this issue.

    It is also possible that they can send you new power adapter. Make a call and explain the situation. If you have need for addresses and phone numbers you can find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro L20 - Fuction key does not

    Hello

    I have a satellite Pro L20 running xp pro. We use at the school, connected to a projector to display on the screen for children to see.

    the problem is that we use the Fn + F5 key on the laptop to scroll the screen option (two screens or not) but nothing happens, it seems that it does not meet our request. and the projector read no source found. Some days she turns on automatically, but when it doesn't. We are stuck, I tried to look into the display properties, but nothing here to try n force both screens light up. Help

    Azab

    Hello

    Also try switching to the external device settings Intel. You can find it under Advanced display settings. I also recommend you to reinstall the TOSHIBA utilities. I'm not 100% sure but it may be responsible for the function FN + F5.

    Also check Toshiba HWSetup under the view tab. Activate LCD + analog RGB option.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - original drive not grateful

    Hello

    Ive looked for forums and the internet in general but was unable to find anything related to my problem.

    Recently, I removed the my Satellite Pro L20 original hard drive and replaced by a spare part just to test another operating system. I didn't wipe my existing windows of the original OS.

    However, now if I place the original hard drive in the laptop, it does not recognize it in the BIOS at all. The original works of disk of 60Go perfectly in an external USB caddy on the laptop, but used in their own country. At first, thought it might be the drive so I bought a new drive of 250 GB, but again, not recognized.

    Reading, I think that the original drive is an EIDE drive and I don't think that the replacement of 12 GB is drive I put in temporarily. Ive also tried reflashing the BIOS, hoping that might solve the problem, but without any luck again.

    Could you get it someone please let me know how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Martin

    Hello

    This s very strange problem you have deleted first disk of 60 GB, then you have reinserted and the BIOS doesn t recognize now 60 GB HARD drive.
    Am I wrong?

    One of my friends had a similar problem. The original internal HDD was not recognized by the BIOS. After a lengthy investigation, he set the BIOS to the default settings and restarted the laptop.

    This helped to recover the HARD drive

  • Satellite Pro L20 starts white plus-ecran

    When I turn on my Satellite Pro L20 headlights light up and I can hear the fan noise but no picture.
    I haven't tried with external display, same no picture.
    I removed the ram to test the motherboard no beep and always the same screen dark.

    What is the motherboard or something else?

    Help, please

    There is definitely a hardware problem.
    But as you know it's not easy to make a diagnosis.

    This looks like a motherboard or CPU problem maybe. The two parts can be damaged.

    I think you don't have a lot of possibilities.
    You can try to contact the ASP in your country and may ask for verification of the laptop.

  • Driver LAN for Satellite Pro L20 Windows 2000

    I am looking for a local network (ethernet) drive to my Satellite Pro L20, who has Windows 2000 on it.
    I found one for WiFi, but not for the Ethernet (cable/CAT).

    Hello

    Well, you can t find all the LAN for Win2000 drivers on the Toshiba page because this unit has been delivered and tested with the Windows Xp operating system.
    However, I found the information that the appliance has a CL LAN Realtek 8100.
    In this case, I guess for visit the site Web of Realtek. You can find a compatible driver for this network adapter.

  • What recovery CD to use with Satellite Pro L20?

    We have several Toshiba laptops in use in our society. I need to restore a (a Satellite Pro L20) to factory settings. However, although I have kept all the recovery CD, most of them have labels which do not mention which model they are intended to be used on. On some of them I wrote the model number on the label by hand, but I did not do that for the L20. I know from experience that if I receive the wrong recovery CD, I have to put dozens of drivers and utilities individually, in order to find the right one would save me a lot of time and stress.

    Each recovery CD has a number (for example GMR400626EN1), so it should be possible to identify the good CD of it, but I can't find the info on the Toshiba web site.

    Is there a list that corresponds to the reference numbers for the models of laptop recovery CD?

    Hello

    This info is certainly not available on the Toshiba support site. What you can try is to contact the partner of service authorized in your country. They have access to the database of Toshiba and I'm sure they can help you.
