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...

Welcome them

  • Satellite C670D-121 - problems with Win7 recovery

    I have a problem and I need your help.

    I have a laptop Satellite C670D-121 in the original hardware configuration.

    After a message on a process (my 10 year old son told me. "" But I have not seen this message), press the OK button and then the cell phone has rebooted. "
    But restarting didn't work no more.

    Also the recovery with the recoveryfunction of the laptop was not possible.
    Now, I ordered the UDF of recovery and the restoration of the laptop is possible.

    But in the moment where the UDF must be removed and the laptop should be repeated, I see the letters "Start window", the screen goes black and I can only see the cursor.

    After a short time, the cursor jumps into the upper left corner. And then comes the whith window an error message. (s. picture)

    I ordered a new UDF = the same error recovery!
    Support couldn't help me.
    Boot Linux from the CD, the laptop works very well.

    If a HARD disk error and memory can be excluded.

    Can someone help me please?
    Thank you.

    Hello
    I m not quite about this error message, but it seems that s associated with memory issue I/O (input / output).

    You mentioned a cursor blinking in the upper left corner.
    This symptom is already known to me. I had such a problem blinking cursor also and in my case it was related to abnormal or bad memory and HARD drive.
    I had to replace the HARD drive after all firstly by the modules of memory in order to solve this problem.

    From my point of few your question may be linked to the faulty memory because the I/O message is linked to problems of memory too.

    You said that Linux works properly using the Live CD?
    I guess you booted the laptop using this live cd but did not install the system on the HARD disk.
    Well, I don t think that this could be a clear proof that the RAM or HARD drive is OK.

    In my opinion, these parts must be checked

    Hello Alex

  • This processor is compatible with Satellite L20-SP131

    Hi all

    I want to upgrade my computer Satellite processor laptop with model L20-SP131, but the problem is that I can't find the info of the exact cpu that support my laptop.

    This is the info I have at the moment:
    Chipset: ati radeon xpress 200 m whith intel celeron M 1.6 ghz socket 479 mPGA 90 nm.

    I found some information that chipset supports pentium M and pentium 4 cpu but the info was really confusing, and if that's true, I would like to know what tipe of processors on what I can use.

    I did my research on ebay and found a lot of pentium M cpu is 1.3 GHz to 2.0 ghz and I want to know if it will be a performance difference if I put a 1.83 ghz pentium M on my laptop or how fast cpu would you recommend me

    I would really apreciate your help.

    Hello

    You come in on the right chipset... I discovered that the chipset (North Bridge) should be * ATI RC410MB * and it supports ONLY the Celeron-M platform.

    As far as I know the * ATI RC410MD chipset * supports the Intel Pentium M processor (-479 mobile).

    Because your motherboard is equipped with the ATI RC410MB, you can only use the CPU Celeron-M

  • Replacement of power for Satellite T110-121 port

    Is could someone please tell me how do I get a new power supply for my Toshiba Satellite T110-121.
    My boyfriend of girls was about to replace it, but they have since split up.

    Hello

    Replacement is very, very tricky because you must remove the entire portable device.
    You must remove all the parts before you will have access to the motherboard and the domain controller in the cable.

    I don t think you can do it without any step by step instructions and guidelines.

    As far as I know and as has been suggested in this forum, the maintenance manuals are not available for ordinary users of portable computers. These manuals are released only for authorized service technicians and I think that you will not be able to download manuals, but I think you can find useful information and details on the internet.

    For example, you can have a look on the website irisvista.com and might find Satellite T110/115 series how to disassemble these units.

    But this dismantling is at your own risk!

  • Power power on Satellite C870-1FZ problem

    I use my laptop on WIndows 8.1 - 64 bit.

    When the power cable and the battery are connected, the laptop just will not start. When I remove the battery and use only the power cable it starts and runs normally. It also seems that the battery does not load.

    Who has a solution for this problem?

    Hello

    I m bit confused why the laptop does not power upward with battery connected.

    Generally even if the battery would not charge due to the age of the battery, the laptop must turn on correctly.

    However, if does not resemble the adapter would be defective because the laptop works properly using the main power supply.

    That's why I came to the conclusion that the battery or card mother s electronic power supply could cause this problem.

    As a new battery is much cheaper as a new motherboard, I recommend you to check the functionality of the laptop using another, compatible and good working battery.

  • Problem of strange power with Satellite series

    Can anyone help please?

    Hello

    It would be very interesting to know what laptop you have and how old is the battery.
    My old battery revolve around 4 years and empty s after 3 min of work. This is not unusual if the battery is old.

    But if your laptop is a new and the warranty is valid then contact the authorized service provider in your country for a detailed audit

  • Collection with Satellite A200 series problem

    Hello

    I had problems at the start of Windows Vista. It does not run in any mode. When I try to recover (by pressing '0' to the screen, that nothing is happening).
    I used my recovery disks to restore the operating system. They run for awhile, and then a white screen comes up and it stops. Then I get PXE: memory, disk failure check cable.

    Finally, with some trial and error I could finally launch the recovery disks, when I try to recover with the factory settings it will stop with disc 2 does not end copy the files. Then I had to recover without recovery partition. After finishing, I found that it loaded Windows XP not Windows Vista. Where did Windows Vista go and how can get it back.

    Please someone help me with this problem.

    Thank you

    Hmmm... What Satellite A200 do you have exactly?

  • Power on Satellite Pro 6100 problem

    Hello
    I seem to have problems with my SP6100 power. It does not power on battery or plugged it in. The charger flashes, but trying to try to power on - it fails to do so.

    Do you think it is a problem of motherboard or real power in MS? If so, please can someone point to me power supply model number to get a price?

    See you soon.

    You have an older model of Toshiba, then perhaps internal Cmos battery maybe got pretty empty, too.

    I don't think that your power supply has a problem, as you can see a light going ON, on your laptop. I suggest you remove the power cable from your laptop, remove the battery, too (push the cover on the side, so he's going to jump out of your laptop).

    Now, without any connected power source, push the button to empty completely the remains of your laptop. Leave your laptop or else be plugged on it for an hour or two, and THEN reconnect your diet. It can show a message on the screen that the "RTC checksum is false", ignore her and start your computer normally. You will need to set the time through the windows again.

    I hope that your laptop now works like new again ;)

  • Power with my Tecra M4 problem

    Hello

    My laptop can not be operated. At the beginning, when it is connected to the power supply light is green, while the battery light indicates Orange flashes. In this State, I could always feed the system but cannot use the backup battery.

    Now, when I try to turn the system battery led turns off completely while the power light flashes orange and the system no longer lights. What could be the problem?

    Hi emeline

    There is certainly a problem of electronic power supply. Here on the forum, no one can say with certainty why this happens. Depending on your problem description flashing LED sends a code and this code to read the problem can be found successfully.

    I recommend you contact the service allowed in your country, and they can help you for sure.

  • Power with Pro 4340 Sat problems

    Hello

    Since I replaced my cd player, I have a very big problem with my battery. The new drive works fine but battery led flashes very fast (abnormal fast) and the battery is not more (that is 91%). I can't use the battery more because the laptop is not starting from the battery. I have two batteries, but none of them works. I can only use the laptop with AC plugged in and the indicator light flashes (orange). I checked the battery with a multimeter and all right, so I really don't know what the problem is. There must be something like a card in the motherboard as the input power is 15v, is there something wrong with?
    (btw. I already checked the cables)

    Thank you very much!
    Elmer

    Hello Elmer

    In my opinion there is some problem with electronic power supply to the motherboard. Abnormal, fast flashing battery LED is not known to me, just flashes code.

    In my opinion, you should contact partner in your country. Talk with them and seek advice. Maybe they can check the device.

  • Satellite L20-101: problem of graphics card if I play games

    I have a strange problem with graphics. Generally, all right, but I have problems with several games. Usually I'm not a gamer, but sometimes I like to play. Anyway.

    When I get out of the game, the colors on the default backup screen. I don't like the default colors so I changed it. After the reboot, all right. Also when I go into the graphical console and click on apply colors became as they were before the games. What's wrong?

    Also, is that when I play two games. These are games from codemasters. Maybe their games is not compatible with my graphics card?

    I have no other problems running these games.

    Hi Pawel

    Believe me it is not easy to provide any reasonable explanation. Maybe you should contact codemasters support. Usually after the release of the game display settings should be as before. I put t think that there is any sort of compatibility issue because in this case, you will not be able to read.
