• Satellite L20-101: Question on battery & BIOS password

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  I have a Toshiba laptop satellite L20-101, so can u please answer my questions below.

  Is it better for the battery life to always stay connected to an electrical outlet when possible, or charge the battery and then use it until it needs to be recharged again? I mean what is best for the life of the battery, and I need to know if stay connected to AC power affects the battery life.

  How can I set a password for the laptop not windows? Because when I enter BIOS setup and set a password for user and supervisor. He just ask me about this password when I try to login to Setup again, but it is still continuous to the windows boot without asking me about a password.

  What should I do?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  The fact is that you can charge/discharge the battery about 500 times.
  After this period, the battery will lose performance.
  More recent laptops and batteries use the latest technology of load.
  But I recommend to remove the battery, if you work on the DC for a long time.
  In this case, you can extend the life of the battery and the performance

  If you want to set the BIOS password and it should appear at the beginning, you must activate the password at startup option in the BIOS.

• Satellite A60-106: Question about updating the BIOS and the BIOS Flash

  Fact the BIOS Flash update the BIOS or that requires a different file. I've updated a Satellite A60 BIOS to 1.9 but am not sure if cela flashed the BIOS as well.

  If this isn't the case, where I could get a file to Flash BIOS for satellite A60-106?

  Hello

  Sorry, but you question is a bit confusing.
  The update of the BIOS flashing the ROM module I put t know which version is installed before upgrading the BIOS, but if after the upgrade, a new version of the BIOS appears then the procedure was a success.

  The good BIOS and how to upgrade the BIOS information you will find on the page of Toshiba.

• 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

• Satellite L20 - 101 - Sound driver causes blue screen

  1. my laptop is a Satellite L20-101. It worked fine until yesterday when I reinstalled the system (from recovery cd) after 3 years. I have updated the bios to version 1.70 (drawn from the toshiba site). Devices audio conexant could not be recognized, and if I run the installation of the latest audio drivers (sound-20080604145033), it fixes the problem, but when you restart the system and login as administrator I get a blue screen. Any help pls?

  2. given that the LAN card is working, there is a message for the installation of a driver for a network device!

  3. when the system starts up, I get an error 0 x 57 for toshiba power saver. Even when I reinstalled ver 7.03.02.I from toshiba Web site the problem remains.

  Thanks in advance
  Maxco

  Hi maxco,.

  About its pilot I n don't know why you're getting a blue screen with the latest version, but I advise to use the preinstalled version of Toshiba recovery disc. So try a point-to-point previous system restore.

  Driver LAN and Toshiba Power Saver, you can download from the official site. Relocation of these tools should work!

• Satellite L20-101: need drivers for videos, audio etc.

  I just reinstalled the operating system (win xp home) on a satellite L20-101 and I realized that I have no cd of drivers for the laptop. The following are marked with problems in hardware devices (Panel): Audio controller, modem, SM Bus controller, PCI controller, USB controller, and video controller. Anyone know what to do or where I can find these drivers? What I found on the toshiba site has not helped me.
  Thank you

  HI Dan,.

  Have you installed the operating system from the Toshiba CD/DVD or is it a complete installation on the Microsoft product CD?

  Kind regards

• Satellite L20-101 - very low sound

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L20-101, Windows XP (Service Pack 3). Yesterday, the sound of my laptop started to play very very low.

  Drivers audio (conexant AC-link audio) seems to work fine, and I'm all set to maximum volume.
  It was sudden. One moment he was working well, and the next time I start it the sound was strangely low.

  I don't know if it's a hardware problem, or if she could we have resolved to restore the entire system with the recovery CD (I prefer not to do so).

  Any ideas? Any help?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think you should check the sound volume using the headphones.
  If the headphones work correctly the problem might be related to internal speakers.

  But to be honest it is really not easy to say what causes this problem as I said can be faulty speaker but you should also check all possible settings and perhaps a new OS reinstall would also be a good idea.

  It would be useful to know if the sound issue would persist using the laptop with clean, factory setting.

• Question about memory & CPU in Satellite A100-551 upgrade

  Greetings
  I had the misfortune to get 2 SODIMM KVR667D2S5 / 1 G for my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-551 that don't work by themselves a single sodimm or as a pair, it doesn't matter which slot they go-they do not work.

  However when the 512 MB sodimm Moose is placed in one of the slots - anyone - either of the kvr etc. SODIMM work giving a total of 1.5 GB of ram.
  Please help me solve this problem.

  Also is it poss to upgrade cpu IE is nested cpu. I already upgraded a laptop cpu when thay had nested CPU, so I am aware of the problems that arise
  Thank you all for your help in this matter.

  > However when the original 512 MB sodimm is placed in one of the slots - anyone - either of the kvr etc. SODIMM work giving a total of 1.5 GB of ram.

  Can't believe that! As far as I know this laptop was shipped only with a 512MB DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM module.
  Of course you can improve the memory up to 2 GB using two modules 1024Mo.

  Compatible memory that you can find here:

  > Also is it poss to upgrade cpu IE is nested cpu. I already upgraded a laptop cpu when they had nested CPU, so I am aware of the problems that arise
  Well, what say, the CPU is hit you can find easily by using a material like Everest diagnostic program. It would provide useful information on your laptop hardware.

  But to be honest, I'm very skeptical as to upgrade CPU on laptops.
  If you have already modified several processors on laptops so you know that's not very simple and more complicated as the CPU upgrade on desktop computers.

• Question about memory on the Satellite A100-599

  Nice day

  The reason for the question is that Rectron South Africa said that the A100-599 comes with the memory modules 2x512mb and not with 1x1Gb as indicated on the Toshiba site. Rectron advice for the purchase of 2 x 1 GB memory but not refund not 2x512mb memory, thus leaving pay you 2 x what you will actually use.

  Please just confirm the A100-599, sold in South Africa are indeed with 2x512mb or 1 GB as shown on the site.

  Thank you
  IAM

  Hello

  The A100-599 seems to be sold in European, Middle East and Africa.
  I think that the laptop came with 1 GB memory module in a slot.
  The second location of memory should be free.

• Question about memory on Satellite A100 bus

  Hello, I have a toshiba a100-237 with a core duo processor & 512 MB of memory bus 533.
  I want to upgrade to 2 GB of memory bus 667.
  He accepts the new bus memory?

  Hello

  As much as I know the CPU Intel Core Duo T2400 1.83 GHz supports 667 MHz front bus.
  But the unit use the DDR2-533 PC2-4200, 200 p SODIMM memory modules.

  I found these compatible memory modules:
  DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
  1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)

  You can use it without any problem.

• Satellite U405D - several questions about overheating/disassembly/upgrading etc.

  Hello

  I have several questions about my old one by Satellite U405D-S2910

  1. when it works, after 2-3 hours (I run usually small programs such as safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85 to 90 C (178-188). When I play age of Empires 2 (come on, its an old game) like 2-3 hours, it stops. What could be the possible reason? Furthermore, let me inform you about the climate of the city I live, 30 c temperature - humidity 25-35% (today).
  PS. CPU is AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model RM-74

  2. I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think at the rate of overheating is this). It does seem like a desktop computer, so complicated. Ive seen a disassembly not to not (btw, its so difficult to spell dismantling :) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions on this subject? experiences could help me?

  3. my laptops is Ram 2x2gb PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM memory, I want to replace RAM memory 2x2gb MACH XTREME DDR2 1333 MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK. Should I do it? Fit my portable, stable work? any suggestions?
  PS. motherboard chipset AMD M780V

  4 - Finally :), should I use OS 64 - bit or 32-bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  1 + 2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. That is why it s not necessary to remove, just blow softly and soon the air through the laptop. You can buy such compressed air which squirts of each computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
  You can find a useful article about this here:

  3. in my opinion he should forget this update! The speed of the RAM is related to the FSB of the CPU and as much as I know about Satellite U405D it s 667 MHz so it s already the RAM faster than you can have. Save your money and buy a larger HARD drive or in the best case a SSD that can really improve the performance!

  4. in my view, the answer is clear: Windows 7 64-bit.
  Only a 64-bit OS supports full 4 GB of RAM. ;)

• Satellite L20 - 101-, the fan won't turn on when starting.

  Hello!

  I found that the fan on my L20 lights during startup (for the first few seconds). All started about 3 weeks ago. Sometimes it can be sometimes not. Than you think. Can be a serious problem? Perhaps it is caused by a weather? In the BIOS I chose "performance" mode

  L20 - 101, Pentium M (1.73), Intel GMA915, 1 GB of RAM

  ;)

  Hello

  I don t think that this could be a serious problem!
  Usually, the fan starts to turn if a temperature level has been reached.
  The temperature inside the laptop depends on the use of the laptop

  You can also consult the laptop for dust and debris fans. Dust inside the laptop may have a bad influence on cooling performance

  But do not worry, everything seems to be ok ;)

• Satellite L20-101: can't see my WLan access point

  Hello world

  I have a L20-101. It worked well until we change our AP with 802n Apple AP again. I can see any other network, but I can't see mine.
  Any idea?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes, I have an idea ;) How about you change the WLan card?
  Seems that the new access point is not compatible with the wireless network for laptop card.
  Maybe the minPCI wireless network card does not support the standard wireless access point.

  What do you think?
