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 - 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

    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?

  • 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: Question about memory PC2-4300 and PC2-4200 of mixture

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite L20-101. He took 512 MB RAM (PC2-4300). Today, I added another module of RAM but this new module is PC2-4200. Is there something wrong with that? The two modules are DDR2 and 533 MHz and 512 MB.

    Hi Pawel,

    In principle, there is no problem with the mixture of slightly different types of RAM modules, but normally the total RAM will run at the speed of the slowest module. When your notebook detects the right amount of RAM from two sticks then it don't will don't... no problem.

  • Satellite Pro A300 / PSAJ1E - 01000XEN won't turn on

    I have a new laptop, Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 / PSAJ1E - 01000XEN.

    After I opened the box and put it on my desk, I connect to the AC adapter and after that I tried to turn on the laptop but there is no response.

    I removed the battery and pressed the button (to remove the static). I then plugged in the power adapter and properly turned on the laptop (with no battery).
    If I stop the machine, the laptop won't turn on with the battery and the AC adapter. I have to remove the battery so that the laptop turn on.

    I think the problem is the battery or maybe the BIOS... I await your comments on this topic...

    Hello

    What seems to be something wrong with your laptop.
    But please don t ask me what exactly wrong s or what part malfunctions.
    Without any control it s simply not possible to provide the final diagnosis.

    As you say, the machine is new.
    Why you n t contact your dealer and ask for replacement?
    Maybe you could get a new one?

    However, you can contact the ASP in your country for a detailed notebook check.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    code 511 undetected fan and the fan does not turn or did not run where do replacement or this question solfware please help

    [Moved from the community centre of Participation]

    Fan errors are usually hardware problems. There is a fan in the case including detector does not detect that it is available or spinning. This could be a problem with the real fan or the fan sensor.

    Does this have to do with? Are you talking about an error that is displayed by a Windows machine? If so, what version of Windows? When the error take? At boot time? Before or after that Windows allows you to open a session? When you provide no details, it is almost impossible for anyone to help.

    How much will it cost in India?  I have no idea. I live in Europe.

    I suggest to ask a repair shop of PC or laptop.

    If the cost of repair is more than 50% of the current value of the laptop, you would be better sourcing of a notebook replacement.

    Hi guys,.

    I have a problem.
    I have a L20 - 101 and I can't connect my tv with my toshiba svhs output.
    I reinstalled the drivers for the motherboard and videography, what can I try?
    Thank you

    Okay, it looks like a really not nice problem.

    So, how do you try to switch to the TV? You have the possibility in your display properties, but not the machine * recognize * the TV? You also have the FN + F5 key combination to change the display, have you already tried?

    And regarding your display drivers (including vga you? nvidia or ati?)

  • Satellite 1005: Push the power button, will turn off the AC power.

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite 1005

    Problem: When I press the power button and let go, the laptop immediately loses all power.

    I use the power cord plugged into the laptop, the power supply light is green, but when I press the power button and let go, as soon as the power light goes black(turns off), nothing happens.

    Howerver, if I PRESS the power button without letting go, power LED lights, but the laptop won't boot at all, no Startup logo, no sound no matter what.

    It's the second time this has happened, the first time, I let stand overnight and the next day she booted up fine.

    Currently, the laptop is cold, it did not work, but always the same thing as described above.

    There are no changes made to the laptop.

    Any ideas?

    It seems that the contact, the power button is faulty. Better to elevate the laptop to a Toshiba service station for a check.

    I n ' t´t think that it is a software failure.

    Good bye
