  HELO :)

  I'm going to buy a new HARD drive and I think that about 120 GB but I.m not sure if it works in my L20-182 (PSL2XE). The user manual says:
  + "Available in four sizes: 40, 60, 80 and 100 GB." Other drives may adopted in the future. "+ Is - anyone of you tried to put 120 GB? It work? Need BIOS update?

  Hello

  The user manual says that you can use up to 100GB HDD for sure.
  I think the tough have not been tested on this notebook L20 and it seems that we can only speculate whether it is possible or not.

  The problem is that the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation. So not all HARD drive sizes are supported. In the worst cases, the BIOS does not recognize the HARD disc.

  However, I think that you can test. There is a great chance that a 120 GB might work properly!

  Hello

  To me, it seems that you used is not compatible Wlan module.
  But I found this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=79237

  A user was unable to activate new update Intel Wlan card.
  According to some information, its possible to enable the Wlan card by covering pin 13 on the wireless Mini-PCI network card.
  But to be honest I've ever tried and I would use this workaround with caution.

• Satellite P100-188 starts after the upgrade of the wireless network card

  I recenty installed a new Intel 5100 Series 512AN_MWW Mini PCI NIC in my Satellite P100 - 188 PSPA3E database.
  However, when it is installed, he refused to view and start.

  I'm sure (read the technical info) that these cards use the same interface.
  So why it won't work?
  Is an update of the BIOS to enable a feature. If so, could someone kludge one together please?

  I have the latest version of the BIOS installed 4.70 and am running Windows Vista.
  I am desperate for this that I already have a project N AP 2.0 and want to use it to its full capabilities.

  Hello

  If I understand your message you have improved the Interior card WLan Intel (Golan) Intel 3945ABG 802. 11a / g to Intel 5100 with project support.

  Boyfriend although it seems that you can't use the WLan draft N card in this laptop model.
  Seems such card is not compatible and cause interference.

  As I know the Draft N need of 3-wire antenna the antenna Satellite P100-188 supports 2 wires only and can be used with the 802.11 A, B or G standard.

• Question about new BIOS on Satellite L20 182

  HI :)

  I have a question: can I install new BIOS 2.20 on my Satellite L20 182 model No. PSL2XE?
  If I can't, why PSL2X users do this? Are there differences in the two models?

  Hello and sorry for my English - I'n not the best :)

  Hello

  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.
  Why am I knowing this? Because many manufacturers are doing this and I've been several times confused when updating the BIOS from another manufacturer...

• Satellite L20-182: after installing the OS only USB 1.1 not 2.0

  Hello, I am an owner of the model Toshiba Satellite L20-182.
  Recently I did a format disk and installed Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2.

  Unfortunately, the system detects USB as a version 1.1.
  I find anywhere USB 2.0 drivers.

  Could you help me?

  Hello

  Why suggest that you have only the USB 1.1 and USB 2.0?

  To my knowledge you will not find any special USB Toshiba drivers Toshiba page.
  Each unit of Toshiba uses the current Microsoft Windows USB drivers and it s not necessary to install the special USB drivers.

  I assume that you have installed the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft and not the Toshiba back CD. Am I wrong?
  In this case you must install all Toshiba drivers that are available in the right order. The chipset utility is very important! Generally, the chipset must be installed at the first stage.

  Please also check this Microsoft documents:

  Availability of the updated Windows XP SP1 USB 1.1 and 2.0
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=822603

  When you install Windows XP Service Pack 2, the USB 2.0 drivers do not appear to be updated

• Satellite L20-182: is it possible to upgrade processor?

  Hello. I have a Toshiba Satellite L20 - 182 and I want to change the CPU.
  My CPU is the Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz), and I want to install Pentium M.
  Can I do it?
  If I can, can what Pentium M I install on my motherboard?
  Please answer me.

  Sebastian K., from the Poland

  Hello

  Well, in general it of not possible to upgrade the processor.
  Some processors are fixed mounted on the motherboard.
  In addition, the processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a permanent connection method and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation

  Just for info:
  I found some Satellite L20 units which are supplied with different processors.
  For example:
  Satellite L20-204 Intel-Pentium-M (Dothan) 750 1.86GHz
  Satellite L20-214 Intel-Pentium-M (Dothan) 740 1.73GHz
  Satellite L20-300 Intel-Celeron-M (Dothan) 370 1.5GHz

• Satellite Pro A40 fell on the wireless network card; Damaged PCMCIA slot

  This morning my Satellite Pro A40 (Celeron 2.6) fell 40 cm. He fell right on the wireless network card that has been inserted. This card is still alive and so is the rest of the laptop, but the PCMCIA location is little damaged. I can insert PC cards almost completely, just the last piece (when the pins are) wrong.

  I removed the cover near the CPU, and there, I could see the inside PCMCIA slot; I could see the main part and the last part where the pins are. That little part as is pushed upward, as you can see in the pictures.

  I think I'd be able to fix myself this PCMCIA slot, but I can't remove it. I removed all the screws on the rear plate, but he is still blocked.

  Pics:

  PCMCIA slot

  The PCMCIA location; on the left, you will see the part with the pins, which is pushed upward. It's also what I see when I look at the pins in the PCMCIA slot. as they are pushed down, but I don't think they are folded.

  Wireless network card

  Wireless network card; It is a little damaged but it still works.

  Does anyone have an idea how I can remove the back plate, or another way to remove the PCMCIA slot and fix it?

  Hi Steve

  Well, I can give t well you not answer how you can just remove the PCMCIA slot.
  There are a lot of screws and to my knowledge, it is necessary to remove all covers and screws that are placed at the bottom of the unit and inside under the keyboard.
  Please check this specific device. Perhaps you have overlooked a few screws.

  But if it is impossible to remove the PCMCIA slot of the unit, I recommend to ask the service partner for a detailed instruction.

  Good luck

  Good bye

  Have a computer Satellite A30 laptop-404, I wonder what kind of card Mini-PCI Wireless would be compatible with my PC?

  Found this one for example.

  Anyone who knows what other types could be used?

  Hello

  Hmm, well I've never heard of Gigabyte WLAN cards and I don't know laptops that are equipped with these cards.

  I checked Toshiba Web site and some Satellite A30 models shipped with a card Atheros and Intel WLAN. So, I recommend buying a those manufactures wireless network card.
  For example Wireless LAN Mini PCI card (2, 4 GHz, 802 11 b) PA3212U-3MPC should be compatible.
