• 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:

• L20-197: OS shows a wrong value of video ram

  Hello

  I bought a laptop L20-197 that graphics ram is 128 MB. But in my computer, it is show that only 64 MB, even if I increase it from the BIOS. Is there a problem with my computer.

  Help, please.

  Hello

  Your laptop comes with shared memory graphics card.
  If this card uses 32 to 128 MB main memory. These parameters depend on the size of the main memory. In this case if you want to change the settings of 128 MB, you will need to upgrade main memory.

• Equium L20-197: to upgrade RAM and CPU

  Hello
  I recently bought a l20 - 197 and if im happy of all, what I want to do is upgrade the ram and processor. Ive found a supplier for ram (www.crucial.com), even if I need some details on the processor that it taken and if it can actually be upgraded.
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Before I try to give you some info on the upgrade, I want to just comment on your ad. Satellite L20 is actually a unit of budget and doesn t expensive. Now, you want to invest enough money in the hardware upgrade. It's not really illogical. Why you didn t get more information and bought the best unit as Satellite M40 or same M70. For a 300 or 400 dollars more, you can have a superior unit.

  Sorry, but the best idea is to sell your one and buy another unit. This is my honest opinion on this subject.

  Now something about your questions: essentially upgrading the CPU is not possible due to the permanent connection method. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package).

  RAM upgrade is possible and meaningful. Your device has 512 MB of Ram in one slot and unit can handle with 2 GB max.

  Good bye

• L20-197: need drivers for audio, video, after upgrade to Win XP Pro SP2

  I just updated the operating system (win xp) family for win xp pro sp2 on a satellite L20 - 197 and I realized that I have no CD or drivers or the laptop. The following are marked with problems in hardware devices (Panel): Audio controller, modem PCI controller SM Bus controller and video controller.
  Anyone know what to do or where I can find these drivers?

  What I found on the Toshiba site has not helped me. Really, I installed win XP pro sp2 several times, but I never have problems with the driver. Can someone tell me where I can find the driver for all devices on the internet of this?

• Equium L20-197 - Win XP chipset driver needed

  Hi guys.

  I found a driver for the chipset on my laptop Toshiba Satellite L20-197 on this site for Windows XP, but it does not at all.

  There is an error message:
  The chipsets Intel (r) software installation utility requires a platform chipsets supported running on a supported operating system.

  But this driver is exactly my role model and I use WIN XP 5.1.2600 as they want.
  Don't get it:(Aidez_moi s'il vous plaît)

  What graphics card you have?

  It's an ATI graphics card?

  If Yes, then, you don't need not of the Intel chipset driver because the ATI graphics driver already contains the chipset driver

• Equium L20 - 197 battery does not charge

  I have a L20-197.
  He fled the power supply OK but cannot operate on battery power.
  I just spent a fortune on a new battery but it still does not work.

  So there must be something wrong, between the battery and the laptop.

  Any ideas anyone?

  If your new battery didn't solve your problem of load then there must be something wrong with the material part.
  It's really not easy to say what role might be wrong maybe electronic malfunctions in power supply

  However, the fact is that it is not easy to fix hardware issues and in most cases, only the authorized service provider could help.

  So we can discuss here of faults and may display some statements but finally an ASP technician is required to know what s really bad.

  Good luck

• 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:

Can someone please advise on what I have checked for updates and patches and am any other ideas other than buying a different brand of laptop!

  I recommend you to unplug the iPod. Then update the Win XP to the State!
  You must use Microsoft update page to install really all the patches and fixes. Notes; you have to restart the computer several times to get all patches installed.

  Check this solution XP:

• Equium L20-197: what is the maximum impedance for microphone input

  Can someone tell me what the maximum impedance is for the microphone to an Equium L20-197 standard input

  I'm doing some recording on my laptop through the microphone input. I would like to know the maximum impedance entry is for Conexant AC-Link Audio version 6.14.10.590.
  I do records and try different input methods, but I'm afraid to blow the whole sound card and the motherboard.

  I looked everywhere and I can't find out. If someone could help me please let me know.

  Unfortunately, I also goggled and checked some sources of information but nothing
  Did you ask to the authorized service provider in your country for advice or details?
  Technicians usually have access to maintenance manuals that might provide details
  Should more known as users just like you and me...
