Re: Is my Win XP too old for Satellite Pro L20

Hi guys

This is the first time on a forum, so please be nice.
I'm trying to re - install the OS on my toshiba Satellite Pro L20 and chipset specifications requires:

Windows * XP 5.10.2600 (original version)

I have Windows XP home 2002 which seems to be 5.1.2600.

I've never done this before and I'm trying to rebuild the laptop for my father in law to use.

My version of windows is too old for this? I have an error message asking me to check the system requirements in the readme file

Thank you

No, it is certainly not too old ;)

Maybe your XP disk contains SP2 or other patches, but it's not really bad.
You can update everything after installing Windows.

After installing windows, you could install the Toshiba drivers that you might find on the European driver Toshiba page.
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support download &-> download drivers

Please note; You should also research * Archives * area the driver page if you won't find anything in field of laptops

Best reagards

  • Upgrade memory for Satellite Pro L20 problem

    I buy a 1 GB, 200-pin SODIMM crucial (marked on the module as 1 GB 2Rx16 PC2-4200 s-444-12-A0) and added to the existing module 256 MB (marked as 1Rx16 256 MB PC2 4200 s-444-12-C3)

    I can't get the 1 GB module memory I bought the work with the existing 256 MB module. The PC will recognize the 256 MB module in each slot and it will also recognize 1 GB memory module in the other location. However, when both modules are installed the PC doesn't recognize any order they are installed in the module 1 GB. The essential tool memory online seems to think that a slot is empty when it scans the laptop, even if both slots are filled. The BIOS also reports that only 1 GB is present when both modules are mounted.

    No idea how I can get the two recognized modules?

    John

    Hello John

    I assume that there is a compatibility issue. If possible, try to get the 1 GB of Kingston RAM module or module recommended by Toshiba.

    If you have time take a look here

    By the way: 1 GB of RAM is sufficient for your laptop L20. In my opinion with 1 GB of RAM, you can work on this model of laptop.

  • Need of repair for CD-rom update on Satellite Pro L20

    Hello
    Is there anywhere I can download a repair manual for Satellite Pro L20 that I just bought a dvdrw drive & want to adapt it myself

    TIA

    Hello

    Unfortunately, you won't find manuals repair on the Toshiba site. Only Toshiba service partners have such documents and the ability to use laptop manuals.
    As far as I know, the reader is fixed with a screw that is placed at the bottom of the unit and under the keyboard.
    After the withdrawal of these two screws, you can disconnect an optical drive to the connector on the system board.

    But without any experience, you must remove all readers. I think you should ask the service of Toshiba for help because he has more experience in such cases

  • ICloud sync broken between Yosemite (too old for El Capitan) Mac and iOS9.3 on devices, for all Apple applications. Any solution?

    Since that is new iPad and iPhone one last week, with iOS 9.3.4, I can't rely on iCloud (iCloud Drive) for synchronization between these devices and my iMac on docs or entries that I create in Pages, Numbers, calendar, Contacts, Notes, reminders.

    With no synchronization goes, I am now frustrated with Apple based applications.  The only solution is to buy a new iMac that can do El Capitan for iCloud to synchronize?

    My 2008 iMac cannot go beyond the latest version of Yosemite.  Even apps that I continue to use without problems - except iCloud who can't do what it should.  According to me, only yosemite on the iMac in 2008, was made bankrupt by the last iOS.

    That's the problem - unless someone has found a workaround.  Without a functional iCloud, sync that I've been waiting for has disappeared.  I need to change how to manage what I do on the devices and the computer.

    I would like to find a way to "merge" safe documents created in these applications on both devices and the computer. Initially a merger will have duplicates.  I can't let the docs on any device replace the docs on the other.

    To avoid any loss of docs on any device and computers, I'm afraid to try to use iTunes.  So I won't try it.  Maybe I need to go "manual" and look at the files on each and do the merge manually, by sending an e-mail.  Help!  I discovered this by accident and now that I look closer I see that synchronization does not occur.

    between Yosemite Mac (too old for El Capitan)

    Any Mac that can run in Yosemite can run El Capitan. Early 2008 iMacs can run El Capitan.

  • Too high temperature on Satellite Pro L20?

    Hey,.

    last night, when the temperature of the 'Temp 1 meaning' of game reaches 101 ° C / 210 ° F.

    Is - this too high?

    My Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 is now almost 5 years old. The fan works and the Bios for the cooling setting is set to 'Performance '. If the current clock speed is roughly 800 MHz (1.7 GHZ), feel Temp 0 is between 35 and 40 ° C / 95-105 ° F and the Temp sense 1 = 50-60 ° C / 120-140 ° F.

    Michael

    Seems a bit high for such a machine... have you ever cleaned the cooling system of your laptop?

    Could be the fan and cooling impeller is clobbed with the dust that causes these high temperatures. I suggest you to go for an electronic market, take a can with compressed air and clean with compressed air as the cooling system of dust and all that lives inside your machine. :)

    Please check after cleaning if the temp rise again.
