Question about repair screen on Satellite P20-S504

Hello

I have a SP20-504 (17 "widescreen, 3.2 GHz processor) that has been abandoned.
Apart from the apparent defects, the screen does not work.

If I shine a torch on the screen, I see the screen still works and the VGA function works fine.

Someone at - it an idea if it's repairable cheaply?
What is likely to be broken?

I think that the possible options can be:
-fluorescent tubes behind the LCD Panel
-l' inverter

Any suggestions?

R.

Hello

On this way, we can only speculate, but from your description, it is really possible that FL converter is defective.

My only suggestion is: contact the Toshiba authorized service partner.

  • Unable to save the changes in the resolution of the screen on Satellite P20

    Recently, I have problems with the resolution/quality of images on my laptop P20.

    When I try to remedy this in the tab settings of Options Diplay it me does not save the changes to the screen resolution or image quality. I am currently using the default monitor on NVIDIA GeFOrce FX Go5200.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    For all the ideas give us more information please. I just know that the resolution of the standard screen for this laptop is 1440 x 900 and if the right display driver is pre-installed to avoid any problems.

    I used Satellite P20-303 (nVIDIA GeForce FX Go5600) nearly two years with the original display driver and have never had any similar problems.

  • A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

    Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
    I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

    * Some info first.*

    CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
    Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

    * Questions.*

    1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

    3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    > 1. My frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
    If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

    > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
    The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

    > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
    But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.

  • Few questions about 2 x new Satellite L350D

    Hello

    Just in 2 notebooks of Toshiba Satellite L350D - 12 m, the other is Satellite L350-170.
    I now hit that is an Intel dual core and now breath cold air on the side and still the other laptop is an AMD dual core and it still blows hot air also I have two laptops there is a lot of garbage from Toshiba.

    Buy a recovery media that will restore only Vista and not all the trial software? I wish I could install WXP. I have the CD of facilities, but cannot find the serial number.
    If anyone can give me any help on these questions on can I remove, I would be very happy.

    Things like configfree do I need and I also have on my d hhdrecovery drive. It s almost 6 GB.
    I can modify it in any way to remove the track from office and other rubbish, and one last question I paragon backup drive so if I backup c now and xp fails somehow I can just restore to vista?

    Thank you

    To be honest I don't know what you want about cold or hot air with description. The fact is that portable equipment heat and laptop be cooled properly. The heat from the laptop is depends on its use. As you probably know when you use applications heavy CPU and GPU temperature will be higher than usual.
    So in the end, I must say that there is nothing unususal. I just recommend you take care how the laptop is placed on the desk. Make sure that the cooling fan is not blocked and portable can catch its breath.

    Hmm... What about Toshiba garbage? Perhaps the word trash are not one that fits, but if you want to say there are a lot of things pre-installed that we can live without it, I would say: you have right about. Is that you don't have to use all this software pre-installed and you can remove it from the system all that you do not want to use. Simply install your favorite applications.

    Toshiba doesn't offer additional software to restore media (with or without). So you can just what you got with your laptop.
    ConfigFree is very useful tool and it is very good for LAN/WLAN monitoring. This tool doesn't need a lot of resources and I recommend you leave preinstalled on your system.

    All folder HDDRecovery I say follow: be careful about this. This folder contains original recovery image. Toshiba doesn't offer support recovery DVDs with laptop and on all new models of notebook recovery image is recorded on the second partition. What you need to do is to create your own recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery creator tool. Please, do so immediately before you make changes on the structure of the HARD drive (remove this folder or change the partitions).
    So when the recovery DVD is created, you can delete this folder to have more free space on the second partition.

    If something goes wrong with Vista preinstalled for other facilities, you can use this recovery media created. Usually when the laptop starts up for the first time, a reminder will be displayed with following message:

    * Important INFORMATION *.

    * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair *.
    * your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly *.
    * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose 'Repair your computer' *)
    * and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

    * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator."
    * for Hat, you are able to restore your computer to the original state that is installed at the factory, even if your computer is seriously damaged *.

    So please be careful about this.

    Paragon is unknown to me, but when you have the recovery DVD you can do what you want with book. After using this recovery media guests to new factory settings. All trial versions can be removed from the system.

    Sorry if I forgot something, but if you have other questions please post again.

    Bye and good luck!

    The question is...

    I want to upgrade my portable computer system memory 3 GB DDR2 (800 MHz) RAM to 4 GB of RAM DDR3 (1066 MHz), which is compatible or not?

    Respect,
    enteoana

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should follow specification not Intel and Toshiba. S Toshiba of info is based on own tests and facts.
    So, depending on the specifications of Toshiba for the GM45 Chipset it is clearly written:

    Min(on Board) wheel capacity - DDR2 800 MHz 0 MB / 8 GB max
    Type of extension of memory - DDR2 800 MHz 1 GB/2 GB/4 GB
    Type of module - SO-DIMM

    So if Toshiba write about 800 MHz modules, you must use the modules to them and not faster.
    You may be able to use faster too, but they do not work with the maximum speed, but not going down to 800 MHz.

    If you want to use max RAM amount use recommended and tested 2 x 2 Go DDR2-800 (PA3669U-1M2G).
    Indicated as compatible RAM, 4 GB DDR2-800 (PA3670U-1M4G).

    Can someone cause this problem?
    Someone at - it a solution?

    Hello

    Looking on the European driver Toshiba page?
    There is an AGP-ATI driver screen. You must download and install it.

    I assume that you have not used the Toshiba Recovery for the installation of the OS CD. Why?
    On this CD, all drivers are pre-installed and it s a better way to install the operating system.

    But if you want to manually install the OS you should do it in the right order.
    The Nice installation instruction is placed on the driver page.

  • Question about Vista performance on satellite Pro M70

    I was wondering if anyone knew a lot about the performance of vista. For example, if you run a game under vista it run worse than in Xp because the operating system uses more than the power of the computer?

    Hello

    For two weeks, I use Windows Vista on my Satellite Pro M70. The laptop is not Vista capable, but I am very satisfied. It works very well. I tried to install and play older games like Far Cry and IGI2. It works perfectly without any problems.

    The set comes with 512 MB of RAM. As I said it works well, but I think that it will work much better with more RAM. I think I'll buy another 1 GB module. With 1.5 GB of RAM, I believe that the unit will operate like a rocket. :)

  • Question on the screen LCD, Satellite A500-1F4

    Hello world.

    I intend to buy the new laptop and I saw the specs of the Satellite A500-1 F4 and Satellite L505-13W. I love the 16 "in A500 display but there is one thing is not clear, what do they mean on screen truebright? Compared to L505, he has LED HD display.

    In addition, what is much better video card? NVIDIA GE force or ATI Radeon? The A500 and L505 have the same capacity 1 GB graphics card, the difference of the brand.

    Thank you.

    I have very good experiences with ATI.

  • Question about video memory on Satellite L30-113

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L30-113 and I managed to install a driver (I am learning how to in this forum, thx) for the video card, which allows me to change the size of the memory, what video card can be used. Configure the size of the (UMA) memory of 256 MB (including 128) properties, then in the properties of that memory for the graphics card is display 512?

    My question is that the size 512 memory is real? Video card really use this amount of memory or is unreal? If so is it better to go back to 128 (then in properties is 256), not to waste this memory for nothing.

    I know the les specifications specifications from the manufacturer, said 'max 256 memory hyper', but my question again: why in the properties I have the memory size: 512 MB?

    Thank you in advance, best regards.

    No, 512 MB is not true. The maximum size of video memory is 256 MB, but I do not know why your system shows 512 MB. If you set the video memory up to 256 MB performance will be no higher. Do not waste this memory to change anything back to 128 MB.

  • Question about graphics on the Satellite A200-1VO card memory

    Hello
    How do you assign more memory to the graphics card on laptop Satellite A200-1V0?
    Thank you

    Hello

    in your case it s not possible to change the size of graphics by yourself, memory as graphics memory in your machine is shared with main memory, so if you upgrade main memory and graphics memory should increase. But this question is governed by the chipset and the user has no influence on it.

  • Question about sound card on Satellite Pro L40

    Hello

    I use a program called Sibelius and recommended an ASIO compatible sound card.
    Can someone tell me if the sound in the satellite pro L40 series card is compatible ASIO?
    If not I can plug a card external sound which is compatible and if so how can I turn off the internal sound card.

    Thank you

    I really don't think not someone will be able to give you information about the ASIO compatibility, but I see no problem, that is if you want to use the external device. Card internal sound, you can disable it in Device Manager.

  • Question about drive HARD on Satellite L300 recovery

    Buy laptop 3 months ago, my son's homework top (40 pages). Laptop has suddenly stopped working. When I try to boot to the top he tries to boot the laptop into repair mode, load files, will load vista then I do gray screen saying (system recovery options) installed program cannot start turn off computer.

    Through each f8 routine and only interest is to disable automatic restart in the event of system failure where I get the error message: Stop oxoooooo24 (ox00190444, ox85a6bdeo, oxc0000102, 0x00000000).

    Didn't create Toshiba Recovery disk called received set loaded file, it comes finally to a point where them continue it will erase all data on disk. Which is what I don't want. Then takes the disc, but it had loaded enough drivers to allow me to take a look in the back. When I look for drive C, return with an unreadable messagesaying. When I look in the D drive and there are files including a saying HARD drive recovery. (I guess that vista automatically disk partitions)

    In all cases any suggestions? There is a single file that I need, which is a document works (wps). Is there anyway I can retrieve the d ' training in HARD drive through back recovery? any suggestions?
    If I run the recovery disk it delete both partitions or just work on C:, then through D: I maybee able to recover the document?

    Hello

    As I see you have tested all the options using F8.
    This means that you have tested safe mode?
    You can start a computer laptop in safe mode?

    If your work is saved on partition D, you can start recovery facility (F8 fix my computer) and Vista will install again, but all the data saved on the D partition will be there again.
    -When you use the recovery disk - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm C partition will be deleted only.
    -When you use recovery DVD will be formatted the whole HARD disk.

  • Question about the partitions on satellite Pro L300-164

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 and it came with vista on the 1 74 GB partition and a data partition 73 GB but it has a folder called HARD drive recovery, but I want Vista to all of the 140 gb and have the recovery partition on a small partition of 4 GB for HARD drive recovery.

    Is this possible without mucking up the HARD drive recovery?

    No, is not possible, but that you can and should do is create recovery DVDs.
    After doing this, you can remove this folder and organize partition how you want it to be.
    Remember that you will lose the ability to install the operating system from the disk using F8 and repair my computer option.

    If a problem occurs, you can install Vista using this recovery DVDs.
    Please note: after installation of recovery, you will have the same structure divides again and all your saved data will be gone.

    just for explanation: the bios you mentioned is good the machine bios. Toshiba is not writing the complete model number since there is a range of numbers of the same model, Don t so you need not worry, they are not different. Maybe the last digit, but it is not important to you.

  • Question about consumption on the Satellite A660-10W

    My A660-10W (new) was wrong and Toshiba (Mafil in Israel) has changed the hard drive.
    Now the computer acts differently that before when I got it like new.

    For example; and my question is:
    1. After about 15 minutes, it automatically goes into sleep mode.
    I understand that the setting can be changed, however I would like to know if this happens when something is running?
    either I left the WD external BACK-UP running, but he fell asleep...
    2. the same thing will happen if Im watching a movie, for example?

    Thank you

    Laptop can't handle in different way. I guess you are using the recovery of images (Toshiba original Win7) and parameters are exactly the same as before.
    # Yes, you can change it. Simply enter the change plan settings for the power plan that you use, and where you can change the time when the laptop should go to mode "Eve". You can also disable using Pétion NEVER.
    # I can't say with certainty, but on my computer laptop doesn t go "standby mode", when I watch the movie. Test it. Set for 2 minutes and put on a movie.
