• 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.

  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

• Upgrading processor on Satellite L20-181

  Can I insert in my laptop Toshiba Satellite L20-181 (Intel Celeron M 380 processor) Intel Pentium 4 processor 521 (for laptop)?

  Sorry, my English is weak.

  Hello

  No, to my knowledge it of certainly not possible to upgrade the satellite L20 with a processor Intel P4 CPU.
  As far as I know that the motherboard supports a mobile Intel socket 479 and it should be possible to use only the processors Celeron-M as follows:
  Intel Celeron M 350 (1.30 GHz) - 360 (1.40 GHz) - 370 (1.50 GHz) - 380 (1.60 GHz) with 400 Mhz FSB

  In my opinion the stronger processors will cause overheating.

• Upgrade memory of satellite L20-181

  Hey all

  I want to upgrade memory on my Toshiba Satellite L20-181.
  Now I have 256 MB and I want to add another stick of memory to 256 MB.
  Could you please inform me about the type of memory has this laptop?
  On the site it is said:
  Standard system memory: 256 MB
  maximum scalability: 2 048 MB
  technology: DDR2 RAM

  DDR2?
  A link with such a memory would be very useful.
  Also, anyway to buy memory online?

  Best regards

  Hello

  The news that you are quite right. Toshiba has tested this laptop with the memory modules to follow:
  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)

  As you can see it's memory module DDR2 and if you use the part (PA.) to the Google number, you will find many online offereor where you can order this tested memory. I recommend buying the original or perhaps module of Kingston. On this way, you will be sure that the new module will be recognized correctly.

  Good luck!

• Extend the RAM of my Satellite L20-181

  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...

• Satellite L20-181: the WLan switch is not available - cannot activate the Wlan antenna

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L20-181 and I bought an Intel Mini PCI Wifi Pro/Wireless 2200BG so that I place it in the empty Mini PCI connector it has in order to have the wireless.

  While I placed it on a regular basis also antennas etc the Intel utility sends me a message that the network connection is disabled and that I should use the switch on the front panel of the laptop to turn it on.

  This switch located in the laptop from the front is a button that is not reinforced.

  Any ideas guys?

  Hello

  You may need to press the button?
  Also, I found a Satellite L20 manual on the Toshiba site and there I found information that the WLan functionality is not available on all models.

• Satellite 2800-200; is it possible to upgrade the memory and HARD drive capacity

  Hi all

  my computer is a Toshiba Satellite S2800-200 (old) and I wont to ask if it is possible to upgrade memory capacity and disk.

  Thank you

  Of course you can upgrade these laptop parts.
  The laptop seems to be equipped with an internal memory which is not removable.

  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7168&ft=m&St=3
  According to the website above, you can use only one memory for an upgrade slot.
  You can use the 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM 128 MB module. It's max.

  I m not 100% sure on the HARD drive, but as I m not trunk not the laptop came with 10 GB HARD drive. Generally, a 20 GB HARD drive should be possible.

  Good bye

  Hello

  The L20 Sat came with different hardware specifications.
  The wireless network is optional. The aircraft was not equipped with WLan modules, but there is a possibility for an upgrade.

  As far as I know the WLan slot must be placed at the bottom of the device!

• Satellite A350 - cannot order the Win 7 Upgrade - problem of credit card

  To the right,.

  I bought a laptop, A350, in 2009 and ordered to Windows 7 using the www.toshibawin7upgrade.com program, but I couldn't get anything from anywhere until today.

  Recently, I asked the delivery during 2 months nothing delivered, but the team behind this program cancelled my order. (Order No.: 4440058036)

  Day before yesterday, I ordered again (order No.: 4440124899) but this time another email was sent on my credit card because they could not charge the card so that they are not able to send the Windows 7 upgrade.
  In addition, it is mentioned to get in touch with the service the customer in Turkey, but the phone number provided on the page does not work.
  I don't know that my credit card works because I order a lot of stuff from other Web sites in the world.

  Almost 3 months ago, I still don't know where to contact them and how to order the Windows 7 upgrade.

  I hope that during the purchase of computer A350 laptop brand TOSHIBA, but today I am considering my decision isn't true at all.

  Please tell us how to deal with which to order Windows 7 upgrade as announced at the sale of portable for the A350.

  Kind regards
  ALP

  Hello

  For me, it looks like there are some problems with the credit card.
  Who knows what makes you wrong maybe that you have entered the right number or missed something maybe, there is another problem with your credit card
  In my opinion, you should get in touch with your Bank and should ask what could be the problem

  Here are the other Toshiba page where you could ask a support team for assistance if a problem with Win 7 upgrade kit would appear.

  I recommend you to visit a dealer for laptop. I sure you will find many offers of m.

  Another option could be a USB WiFi key. The WLan performance should be the same and it is very easy to use and connect

• Question about upgrading memory on the Satellite L20-181

  Hello

  The recommended minimum is memory for Windwows XP 256 MB and I don't understand how the company could get far notebook sale with integrated graphics with 256 MB shared system memory.

  In any case, I want to improve my Toshiba and my intention is to buy 512 MB more memory, such as http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=20049&ft=m&st=3

  Will it work properly with 768 MB or I will only buy the same pair: 256 + 256, 512 + 512?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  First of all, you are not right. Windows XP also works with the low value of the memory.
  But of course it depends on memory so the OS applications will run more rapid or slower.

  However, the fact is that you can upgrade the memory on your laptop and it doesn't mater if the modules have the same value of memory or not.
  In this case, the laptop came with 256 MB and you can install detox the second module of 512 MB memory.

  PS: I recommend installing the 512 MB in the first slot and the 256 MB in the second Bank.

  I have a satellite 2450-201 and it came with petium 4 I want ypgrade to the athlon 64 x 2 will be this possible upgrade for my laptop?

  No, it is not possible.
  The Pentium uses different fixing like the athlon.
  In any case the portable technology is different because the desktop PC simply and miniaturization make these updates impossible
