• Upgrading RAM on satellite L20-217

  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!
  Please visit this page;
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=31173&ft=m&St=3

  You simply DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM bars!

  Module slots are placed at the bottom of the unit.
  There must be only one screw removed and you will see two slots!

  The replacement is not very delicate and must be described in the manual very well!

  With regard to the replacement of the CPU:

  The replacement of the CPU is very delicate and particularly is not possible for different reasons!

• Satellite L20-217 does not start

  Hello
  can anyone help?
  I have a Satellite L20-217 and it just stopped working on the other day.
  It was connected with the AC adapter, all of a sudden the message came on the screen saying my battery was low so less than a minute the whole machine has stopped working.
  I ve bought a new power supply and the s is still running is not on. I ve took out the battery for 2 minutes etc... and still nothing; West not sound and no lights.
  When the battery is in and the adapter is hollow area I still get nothing, but if I press the power button the left hand LED will blink for a few seconds then nothing again.
  I really need to get this working as I´am a tattooist and piercer hairdresser and there all my drawings etc. on it.

  Thx for any help

  You can start your laptop with AC power only (the battery is removed)? If so, start windows and after a few minutes, put the battery inside and post the result.

  It's very strange

  The error message says something about RAID but the L30 does not support the RAID and also the RAID drivers are not necessary.

  I m a bit confused and I think there could be something wrong with the HARD drive.
  Have you tried to reinstall the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows?

  Try this format the disk using this CD, and then try again to reinstall the operating system.

  If this does not work then a HARD disk problem is possible

• Satellite A500 Toshiba product recovery using error

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - recovery disk will reinstall Windows OS on the new HARD drive

  Hard drive of my Satellite Pro A300 failed. It has now been replaced. I ordered a recovery disk.
  This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?

  Also, I get this message "BOOTMGR MISSING". The recovery disc will fix this problem too?
  Thanks in advance!

  > I ordered a recovery disk. This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?
  Yes. Without a doubt.

  New HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
  If so avoid any problem.

  Moreover, A300 works perfectly and much better with Win7 32 bit.

• Need for satellite M40X-189 product recovery CD

  I lost my CD of recovery of Windows XP Home Edition that was given with my Toshiba Satellite M40X-189 model and my operating system broke down and I am very helpless.

  I bought in Edinburgh, UK and unfortulately currently I am living in INDIA. Customer service in India have said that they can not help me in this regard.

  Please someone help me with this problem. Any suggestions to get my product recovery CD.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that you´re in serious trouble now. If you have ever tried to get a recovery, unfortunately without success to an ASP, you will need to buy one in the United Kingdom.
  It would be best to contact a partner registered in the city of you´ve bought the machine and ask them for a replacement of your lost recovery.

  Any better idea´s? :)

• Satellite L10 - 205 - product recovery CD does not work

  I buy a Toshiba Satellite L10 - 205 laptop from Dubai and since it was working fine.
  But now it became slow and I thought that to format using the original product recovery CD.

  When I format, it gives an error about 25% of the formatting.
  I tried to do it again and again, but the same problem persists.

  Which, in my opinion, I had the wrong product recover CD when it starts formatting he says loading Windows 98, but I have windows xp on my computer.

  Could you please give me the soultion or is it possible to get the right porduct recovery CD

  > Which, according to me, I had the wrong product recover CD when it starts formatting he says loading Windows 98, but I have windows xp on my computer.
  This is not a defect, Toshiba image that sits on the recovery disc for an old series laptop is based on Win 98 again Win XP is on the disc! So don t worry it s Win XP!

  I m not very well why you can not recover the laptop, but there are two options; HARD drive failure is so the laptop has been slower or the recovery disk is faulty (maybe a few scratches, etc.)

  In case you, it would be desirable to test the laptop with other bootable disks (MS Win XP or Linux) to check if the HARD drive is ok

• How can I get my Satellite Pro A100 product recovery media?

  When I bought my A100, I didn't any of the product recovery media. I assumed it would be pre - installed on a partition of my hard drive. Seems not to be the case.

  I want to resize my main partition to allow me to install linux on the space that would be made available. While Linux will do for me, just in case there is an error, I need a copy of the product for XP and other software pre-installed recovery media. Direct contacts on the Toshiba site are difficult to locate.

  So I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction? I am a UK user.

  Hello

  If the recovery disk was not supplied with the laptop, then you should be able to create a recovery disk using the preinstalled tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
  I think that you didn t read the user manual after you have received the laptop

  Anyway usually the recovery disc can be ordered here:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  But not all the recovery discs would be available, especially if the laptop series was abandoned this means that you can not order a recovery disc if the laptop series is too old you can also try to contact a local ASP (partner) in your country for assistance and could try to order this disc it.

  Otherwise, you must use an original disc of MS Windows all drivers can be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
