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

Best regards

  • 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 (PSL2XE) & 120 GB HARD drive upgrade

    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?

    wooytson

    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!

  • 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

  • Satellite L20-182: fan is not working properly - intervals of one minute

    When I turn on the computer about 20 minutes is quiet. The fan starts like a hurricane, slows down and stops. It lasts a few seconds. The fan works this way on a regular basis with intervals of one minute.
    Is it possible to turn the fan on a continuous work in slow motion?

    Hi Dominika

    I put t believe that your laptop can be so dusty in a few months and believe me there everything is ok. I know that cooling fan noise is sometimes annoying, but unfortunately there is not much to do.

    I'll be honest to you. Satellite L20 is low budget and the unit is configured very simply. For most Toshiba units, it has preinstalled Toshiba intelligence tool and it is possible to change the method of cooling. On your device, it is not possible.

  • Satellite A305-S6857: is it possible to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM

    Current installation is 4 GB of RAM (2 by 2)...
    Is it possible to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM? (2 * 4)?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Here you will find a data sheet of this laptop

    [Detailed satellite A305 Specification | http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/product/pdf_files/detailed_specs/satellite_A305-S6857.pdf]

    As you can see there's something about the max RAM: maximum capacity 4096MB

    Therefore, 8 GB RAM upgrade is not possible.

  • Is satellite L450D-113 - possible to upgrade processor?

    Hello

    I recently bought the Satellite L450D-113 and I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the processor.
    The vehicle currently has the AMD Sempron and its unique core, so how could I go all upgrade to dual core. Also how much is it going to cost and can I do it myself?

    Can someone help me and tell what I need to do to upgrade, or where I can buy a dual core CPU compatible?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think this Toshiba FAQ might help you.
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    You'll find the info that the upgrade is not easy and maybe it s undesirable.
    You can remove the CPU but there is no guarantee that the CPU will be compatible with the BIOS.

    See you soon

  • Satellite L20-182: recovery

    Hello

    I was invited to recover a L20-182 of agonal State after maybe 2 or more years of use of my girlfriend and get data recovery. I mean, it's all the drivers and stuff that I have to install after formatting the hard drive and set up the operating system.

    My computer has a recovery function that it restores to factory settings within minutes using a hidden partition data. Is this possible with Toshiba L20-182?
    If so, how?
    If not, where can I get all the data if the backup has not been made or has been lost or used as a holder of makeup stuff or something else?

    Thank you very much in advance;]

    Post edited by: bartsimpson

    Past series of laptops were equipped with the recovery CD. The new generation of portable supports drive HARD recovery. This means that the image is stored on the HARD drive and you can restore it without the recovery CD. But there is also a possibility to burn the recovery image on the DVD.

    However, you can also install your own Windows XP, and then you can download and install also the drivers of Toshiba.
    Finally, you can use a 3rd party software, e.g. Norton Ghost to create a CD or an own image file.

    But the other user is just that the recovery CD can be ordered on the Toshiba site as mentioned above.

  • Replacing screen on Satellite L20 182

    My monitor satellite L20-128 is broken, so I need to replace it with a new one, I get the same. I mean with the same number (LQ150X1LHS2 / B 5XD24863), or there are other choices?

    Hello

    Generally, you should always buy the parts recommended by the manufacturer of the laptop!
    Then you could be 100% sure that the part (display) is right.

    To my knowledge, the laptop uses a 15.0 "1024 x 768 TFT screen.
    It is important that you buy the same size 15.
    The resolution is not very import.
    I m sure that the graphic card supports a higher resolution than 1024 x 768 and if you go to buy a screen that supports a higher resolution, you will be able to define the display on a higher resolution.
