Re: Satellite L20 - SLOT of RAM configuration

Hi, my L - 20 Satellite has a memory of 512 mg installed, I buy anti-spam memory ram of 1 GB to increase my memory and put it in the second slot.
This block of RAM works well because I remove the old block of 512 MB and put it in the biggest and the BIOS recognizes it well.

BUT, if I put the block two ram, BIOS recognize only half of the block of ram 1 GB, if in addition it recognize 1 GB total RAM instead of 1.5.
data sheet says that the 2 RAM slot can be level up to 2 GB, but one of them 'configuration '.

How can I configure ram Slots? There is nothing in the BIOS

Please help me

Gherardo

This slot machine configuration doesn t exist and if you use compatible RAM modules it will be recognized correctly.

Can you please give us more info on this 1 GB RAM module?

  • Satellite L20-153 - upgrade RAM not recognized

    Hi all

    I just put an extra 1 GB of RAM in my laptop so there should be 1 and a half GB in there now, but Windows only recognizes 896 MB. When I run pc Wizard it say to me that 1.5 is installed.

    Any ideas why Windows XP won't see it, I updated the BIOS and most of the other systems, any help would be appreciated.

    see you soon,

    Hey Buddy,

    If PC Wizard recognizes the two RAM modules, I think that more RAM is used for the graphics card and other device devices (shared memory).

    Just to be sure, can look in the BIOS the amount of RAM is it recognized? 1.5 GB of RAM, if recognized, everything is ok!

  • Satellite L20 error: DVD - RAM crashes with a blue screen with the use of cd-audio

    Hello world

    I have a very annoying problem: when I use audio-cd, my Satellite tends to crash with a blue screen. When it crashes, blue screen, scrolls and immediately a black screen and a restart follows.

    It is probably a driver problem, because I have three audioprograms installed (Windows Media player, Sonic Stage MiniDisc and I-tunes).

    Can someone give me advice? Thanks in advance

    Klaas

    Hi Klaas,

    It would be useful to know what the error message is when you get the blue screen. I suggest that you disable the restart automatic installation so that your laptop stops on the blue screen and you can read the error.

    To disable the auto restart: -.

    1. right click on 'My computer' icon and then click on "Properties".
    2. click on the "Advanced" tab
    3. click on 'Settings' in the section starting and recovering (towards the bottom of the window).
    4 uncheck 'automatically restart '.

    Please post again all the details of the blue screen error message.

    Hi guys,.

    I have a satellite L20-217 and I'm looking to upgrade my ram 256 to 2 GB (or at least 1 GB). I did some research but I am still confused about this module (s) to buy and how to install it. I'm new on this and I will be very grateful if anyone can advise me on what to do, thank you.

    PS: Is it possible to switch from a celeron M to a dual core processor?

    Hello

    Man of good news:

    The L20 can be upgraded up to 2 GB!

    Hello world!

    I have a problem and hope to resolve it here, with your help... so:

    I have a toshiba satellite L20-181, model PSL2XE... and I want to add more RAM.
    The guide says that only the PC2700 and PC2100 are compatible; but surprise... I installed a memory module on the system (from the factory) with the following tag: 256 MB PC2 - 4200 s-444-12-C3... so a PC2-4200. Now I am confused... what type of memory should I use?
    Thank you very much!
    N.

    Hello

    You must use the modules DDR2 with minimum of 533 Mhz. I googled for your type and the chipset is an ATI chipset in need of DDR2 RAM.

    And the concern of Don t for the timings, it should be OK despite all the modules you use, because almost all of the modules available to consumers have ALMOST the same timings...

    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 L20-100 - what modules of RAM can I use for the upgrade?

    Hi all

    I have TOSHIBA Satellite L20-100 and I need to upgrade the ram memory up to 2 GB.
    I found these models on the internet but I don't know that it is compatible with my computer laptop or not.

    the following module on the eBay store:

    * 1 GB Kingston DDR2 667 Mhz 1 GB DDR laptop 2 NB RAM *.
    * Hynix 1 GB RAM DDR2 5300 s - computer notebook memory 667 MHz *.
    * ASint 1 GB DDR2-667 PC2-5300 PORTABLE 200 pin MEMORY *.

    Already now I have 512 DDR2 667 Mhz

    Or any knows from where can I update the correct RAM?

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can use all modules store because all the modules to meet specifications, DDR2-RAM, 1 GB, etc. for example.

    In your case, I'd take the Kingston RAM. I've never heard ASint RAM, but I have good experiences with RAM Kingston. I always use Kingston RAM to upgrade my notebooks and never had any problems.

    Last but not least, you can also buy RAM of an authorized service provider.

  • Satellite L20-183: PCMCIA Pixelview Tuner does not work with 720 * 480

    I have the following problem:
    I am the owner of a

    Toshiba laptop Satellite L20-183 (1.6 Celeron, 512 MB Ram, Ati radeon Xpress Mobile X 200)

    I just bought a
    Mobile TV Tuner PCMCIA (Prolink) Pixelview PlayTV havig the following specifications:
    http://www.ProLink.com.tw/English/products...ixelView%20Play TV%20Mobile.htm

    as you can see it it says he works at the frame size PAL: 720 x 576; NTSC: 720 x 480

    which is true, but not with my laptop
    It is functional on a laptop HP Celeron 2.8 Mhz, 512 Ram and Ati 9100 IGP

    on my laptop, it only works to the minimum framerate 320 * 288 (as I remember), but then the passage to the maximum framerate of 720 * 480 there are artifacts (horizontal lines) on the right size of the screen.

    I say it again on a similar notebook (talk configuration) with ATI 9100 IGP it works perfectly at maximum framerate.

    Someone told that can a card linked to overaly settings video problem, but it unlikely for me as long as lon semms as he worked on another laptop with ATI IGP 9100, which seems to be older than my video card. (By the way all the parameters and options are the same on two laptops)

    SOMEONE HELLLPPPPP!

    Hello
    Check the BIOS on the toshiba. BIOS in the video settings, there should be a possibility to change the PAL or NTSC. If the value is NTSC I see problems that you described. So as if you right-click on the desktop and select Properties, click on the tab on the far right, a last and properties then go to advanced. Under these properties, it must have an option to NTSC or PAL. Make sure that PAL is thus selected here and see if that solves the problem. I hope this helps.

  • Replicator port or docking station for Satellite L20

    Hello
    Can someone tell me if a Replicator port or docking station, there are satellite pro L20 model?
    I searched around, and every time I check the specifications of compatibility, it is usually a Toshiba laptop or 2 and often some of the satellites 'L' series, but no mention of the L20.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hello

    I agree with Akuma.
    You may not use a dock under Satellite L20.
    If you take a glance at the bottom of the device, you will not find a necessary home slot that would be needed to connect the docking station.

    But of course you can use some sort of port connected to the USB port replicator.

    See you soon

  • Satellite L20-101: I think as 667 Mhz module runs only with 266 Mhz

    Hello

    I bought 2 x 1024Mo DDR2-RAM for my L20-101.
    First I tried 533 MHz, but the laptop does not work with them, so I bought the
    Version of 667 MHz.
    CPU - Z says that the FSB:DRAM - ratio is 1:2 If the two are in fact run with just 266 MHz.

    I've updated the BIOS with the latest version of the Toshiba-home page, but nothing has changed.

    So finally, my questions:
    1 perhaps CPU - Z is false (I don't think so...), are there any other good programms to check the parameters of memory?

    2. If the values in the program are correct: where can I change the value of the report? Is it possible to see more than a few settings in the BIOS or is it a rider?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    First of all it is important to mention that the Satellite L20-101 supports a FSB of 533 MHz.
    So the DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25) and DDR2 400/533 memory modules 512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51) should work and are 100% compatible!

    If you use the module of 667 Mhz, it runs only at 533 Mhz due to the limitation of the front side bus.

    In addition, I think you have misunderstood something.
    Here are the modules DD2 and so the CPU - Z recognizes the speed of the modules as 266 MHz (2 x 266 = 532 Mhz)
    If everything seems to be ok!

    PS; You can also use the other tool called Everest home edition. It s a freeware and very useful to run a diagnosis system and equipment
