• Linux and satellite M70

  It's just to prevent anyone who is interested posted...

  I managed to get linux (stable) to work on the M70. I used Mandriva 2006. Sound, LAN, wireless LAN all seem to work well. The only problem with the graphics - it runs in 1024 x 768 with no support to opnGL.

  It would be nice if he had run at its native resolution of 1280 x 800 but im having trouble getting the correct synchronization (refresh vertical horizontalm) for display.

  If anyone has any info on this please let me know.

  This is great news for many users who want to install Linux on their units. I hope that you will also fix the problem with the graphics. Have you tried to find somewhere driver for graphics card? I'm not 100% sure, but it must be an Intel, one.

• Satellite L20-183 broken BIOS - Linux

  I have a problem with may Satellite L20-183. When I try to install the operating system Linux (Mandriva Linux 2006 official) after checking the HDD, cd... I see a broken 'BIOS' massage and only what I can do is to restart the computer.
  Why is this happening and what can I do to solve this problem.

  Hello

  I'm don't know if you know, but Toshiba doesn't support the Linux operating system.
  In this case there is no information on these issues of Linux on Toshiba laptops.
  I have a tip for you. Why not install windows on your device and use a Knoppix Linux? You n t need to install Linux on the HARD drive. It starts from the live DVD and you can work with Linux as with Suse Linux.

  Good bye

• Satellite L20-101: Question about memory PC2-4300 and PC2-4200 of mixture

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite L20-101. He took 512 MB RAM (PC2-4300). Today, I added another module of RAM but this new module is PC2-4200. Is there something wrong with that? The two modules are DDR2 and 533 MHz and 512 MB.

  Hi Pawel,

  In principle, there is no problem with the mixture of slightly different types of RAM modules, but normally the total RAM will run at the speed of the slowest module. When your notebook detects the right amount of RAM from two sticks then it don't will don't... no problem.

  Kind regards

• Satellite L20-155: which Linux distribution is capable

  Top members Co,
  After several research reading etc in this forum and on the pages of Toshiba-Novell-Linux groups here in my country (Netherlands) I only found something on which distro is capable with my L20-155.
  My wish is to install an Os (Suse 10.1) and say a well-intentioned through window$ for the last years.

  Hello

  I agree with Akuma L20 supports a SATA controller and you need and 2.5 SATA HDD.
  Usually it s no matter which manufacturer is all 2.5 SATA hard drives must be compatible

  With regard to the 48-bit LBA:
  As far as I know that this could be just a problem with HDD IDE (P - ATA). SATA HDD should not be affected. So, theoretically, you could upgrade the HARD disk using larger than 128 GB.

  Regarding the upgrade of memory:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=20683&ft=m&St=3

  You need DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM and you can use 2 x 1 GB RAM

• Satellite L20: Problem reading DVD - not synchronic sound and image

  Hi, I have a toshiba satellite L20 1.4 GHz CPU, 512 MB of ram which is only 4 months old. The problem I have is that when I try to play a DVD the image is nervous and the sound is still slower than the picture and can't seem to catch up with her. I have updated all drivers that needed updating, tried to change the video settings and tried different DVD software but it makes no difference.

  I've only tried the DVD a few weeks ago so I think it was always like that, it seems to play CD OK, although he struggles a little bit a few times when you start playback of the disc if I move the cursor.
  Does anyone know if this can be cured or I have to send again.

  Hello

  This problem appears on the original DVD's?
  I know that a similar problem could occur with some movie files or ripped DVD s.
  In this case the software that was used for the DVD copy was responsible for these issues. Sometimes after installing some codex, the problem has been resolved.

  I heard that this show on the Windows Media Center Edition has been resolved by updating the MPEG Encodeder.
  Try to update this application.

• Power with Satellite L20-121 problems

  Greetings
  My Toshiba laptop model is satellite L20-121 PSL20e.
  OS: Windows XP Home Edition
  When I restart windows, windows stops, then the led power and WiFi will Flash once and the laptop turns on again and when I stop, the laptop turns off correctly, but when I press the power button to turn on the laptop again, the led power and WiFi will Flash once, the laptop does not light and I have to wait 5 minutes about yo start it again.
  I sent it to the Toshiba Service Center in my country, and they said "we must restore the recovery image", even if it's a hardware problem, not a software, and at the same time, I'm very busy and don't have the time to reinstall the entire system and software applications still.

  What proves my idea it is when I enter SETUP (F2) and output the laptop do the same thing (the LED will blink once and no longer lights)
  The same thing with the BACK... or Linux live CD
  Once the laptop is turned off, it cannot turn on again. only after 5 minutes

  I recorded my laptop in the Standard online warranty system, I hope it helps me
  I have only 4 months remaining

  Appreciate your help
  Thank you

  Hello

  You can do the following: update your bios if not already done and then try with different operating systems (linux, windows, etc.) if the error reappears, then you should send your machine to the partner service and the statement that the error occurs independent of the operating system running.

  Sometimes, they need a few comments otherwise they won´t anything...

• Satellite L20 modem does not work in some cases

  Hello

  a friend bought a Satellite L20 last summer. In January, she started working on the Internet on an irregular basis, but has known trouble. So I looked after the laptop last week:

  When you try to connect to the Internet connect to the provider sometimes fails. If she finally gets the connection, it often occurs the message that the page could not be found, and only after clicking on the button "Refresh" the page several times finally appears. But oddly enough, every time I unplugged the power supply connection become noticeable better.

  (Win XP; pilot/diagnosis: no problem arose; provider works very well on different computers)

  Unfortunately, he had no chance to check the connection here with a different material. I can't say if the latest driver is installed, but think that Yes, because of the date of purchase. So, my guess is that the power cable is not adequately protected. But if so how? Or what else could be the reason for the unexpected behavior of the modem?

  Thanks for your suggestions!

  Hello

  I heard a similar problem with another model of Satellite. Solution was to install the Satellite A110 modem driver. Please don t ask me why, but test it.

  The modem driver, you can find HERE

  Good luck!

• Satellite L20-214: Does recover CD contains the Win XP Pro

  Hello

  I have a PC laptop toshiba satellite L20-214, it came with windows xp pre-installed 2, so I don't have a CD of Windows XP2.
  I want to format and reload windows XP2.

  The recovery of the supplied product disc with the laptop there Windows XP2 on it?

  Yes, the restore CD contains the operating system that was installed on the laptop, all the drivers of Toshiba and tools as well as other software like Norton antivirus, Win DVD, etc.

  Then you can just boot from the recovery CD and could install from the recovery CD.
  But note; the recovery CD will format the whole HARD drive. So, you can lose all the files.

• Replacing screen on Satellite L20 182

  My monitor satellite L20-128 is broken, so I need to replace it with a new one, I get the same. I mean with the same number (LQ150X1LHS2 / B 5XD24863), or there are other choices?

  Hello

  Generally, you should always buy the parts recommended by the manufacturer of the laptop!
  Then you could be 100% sure that the part (display) is right.

  To my knowledge, the laptop uses a 15.0 "1024 x 768 TFT screen.
  It is important that you buy the same size 15.
  The resolution is not very import.
  I m sure that the graphic card supports a higher resolution than 1024 x 768 and if you go to buy a screen that supports a higher resolution, you will be able to define the display on a higher resolution.

  Hello

  The laptop supports an ATI graphics card?
  If yes-> go graphics card-> properties Advanced settings-> and select the view tab.
  There you can turn on the TV set.

  But as far as I know that this can only be done after the s-video cable has been connected to the laptop and TV set.

  By the way: on some TV s it s important to enable the Svideo option
