• Satellite Pro L20 - broken hinge baseplate - where to find the parts?

  Hello

  First post here, so please excuse the lack of local etiquette.

  My son has a Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 with a broken hinge base plate. I'm calling it a base plate that I can not find the name of the part anywhere on the web so far.

  Its obviously the metal plate on the basis that the hinge attaches to.
  You can see it if you remove the battery.

  Nobody knows what is this part and where I could possibly buy one?

  Kind regards

  Jimmy

  Hello

  I think that in this case the ASP from Toshiba (certified partner) might help you.

  You must enter in contact of this ASP in your country and the technician should be able to order a compatible part for laptop.

  You will find here all the FSA all over the world:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> supported downloads &-> find an authorized service provider

• Re: Need Satellite M30 - broken hinges - manual

  I have a question: my satellite m30 left hinge is broken and I want to fix. Where can I get a manual and the hinge (s) in europe (Austria)?

  Thanks for help.

  You won't get a disassembly manual for this laptop.
  I didn t find all downloads on the Toshiba page and I guess that these manuals are designed only for the FSA and not for public use

  It before, I think you need to contact an ASP in your country for details.

  Good luck buddy

• Right satellite M305 broken hinge?

  Part # s4907

  The metal hinge on my laptop is exposed and two sons are also exposed. The small cover that covers the hinge broke a while back and I have no idea when or where it is, just noticed once. The hinge is now coming out and the right side of my laptop is very spontaneous and I fear that the wire will get released and the ruin of my laptop.

  What should I do?

  My warranty is up, BTW.

  What you can do?
  Well, you can get in touch with a local ASP from Toshiba and can ask for help.

  It seems that you have never changed/replaced these parts and didn t disassemble such portable in the past he s really complicated to disassemble the unit and replace these parts each book is different and I think that it s the best to ask a professional for help and to pay small fees as risk damage to laptop You know

  The guys would be able to order right parts of Toshiba and would be able to replace it.

  Good luck

• Satellite L20-183 broken BIOS - Linux

  I have a problem with may Satellite L20-183. When I try to install the operating system Linux (Mandriva Linux 2006 official) after checking the HDD, cd... I see a broken 'BIOS' massage and only what I can do is to restart the computer.
  Why is this happening and what can I do to solve this problem.

  Hello

  I'm don't know if you know, but Toshiba doesn't support the Linux operating system.
  In this case there is no information on these issues of Linux on Toshiba laptops.
  I have a tip for you. Why not install windows on your device and use a Knoppix Linux? You n t need to install Linux on the HARD drive. It starts from the live DVD and you can work with Linux as with Suse Linux.

  Good bye

• Satellite 2450 - 101 broken hinge - necessary disassembly guide

  Hi did anyone know where I can get hold of a guide to disassembly to replace my broken hinge? I have the part, but want to make sure I have disassemble it properly. Any help gratefully received.

  Hello

  I would recommend not also remove and open Notepad by yourself if you do not have enough experience. It may be damaged parts instead of fix ;)

  Each laptop technician could make this work for a few dollars. so ask someone in your area.

  By the way; I found an interesting site how to replace Satellite 2435 LCD screen. This laptop is similar to the Sat 2450.

  It is perhaps useful to s:

• 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.

• Update hard disc on Satellite L20

  Hi all

  I would like to change the hard drive of my Satellite L20-260...
  I installed a hard MK4026GAX drive, I would like to replace it with a bigger... by taking a peek on the internet I found hard drives as MK8032GAX...

  Yes, 80 is the size (80 GB) but 32 what means? Can someone tell me is this hard disk can replace my old (one broken too) a?

  Hello

  I put t knows what means the 32 at the end of the number, but the disk HARD of MK8032GAX supports Ultra DMA/100 (ATA-6) interface.

  To my knowledge the Satellite L20 260 supports serial ATA (SATA) interface.
  You must use the s HARD drive that supports this and don t buy HARD drive that supports IDE interface because you will not be able to connect it to the laptop.

  In addition, the compatibility of the BIOS is very important. In many cases, the BIOS cannot recognize the HARD drive because of the large size.
  According to your post, the laptop supports 40 GB HDD s. In my opinion the 80 GB should work and should be recognized.

  I recommend to visit the merchant of HARD drive in your area and ask for compatible HARD disk. Maybe you would be able to test it in the shop.

• Satellite L20 - drivers for Vista available?

  Hello

  I use Satellite L20 with Windows XP. Now, I want to improve my OS to Vista/Windows 7. I've seen several people have not found drivers for L20. If I install vista on my L20 (PSL2XL-01R007), the drivers will be available?

  Please help me.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  > Now I want to upgrade my OS to Vista/Windows 7
  You want to upgrade to Vista * or * Windows 7?

  > I've seen several people have not found drivers for L20
  I think that it s depending on whether Toshiba provides drivers for Vista or Windows 7 for Satellite L20. These drivers are usually placed on the official page to download driver of Toshiba.
  Satellite L20 PSL2XL seems to be an Asian model, so I checked the Toshiba Asia page, but there are just available Windows XP drivers. The European page also shows only XP drivers :(

  This means that only XP is supported, but you can try to get all the drivers yourself on external pages. Probably, you will find all the drivers you need. Here are some pages where you can perform a search:
  [www.intel.com]
  [www.realtek.com]

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite L20: MS Excel add - Analysis ToolPak

• Satellite L20 modem does not work in some cases

  Hello

  a friend bought a Satellite L20 last summer. In January, she started working on the Internet on an irregular basis, but has known trouble. So I looked after the laptop last week:

  When you try to connect to the Internet connect to the provider sometimes fails. If she finally gets the connection, it often occurs the message that the page could not be found, and only after clicking on the button "Refresh" the page several times finally appears. But oddly enough, every time I unplugged the power supply connection become noticeable better.

  (Win XP; pilot/diagnosis: no problem arose; provider works very well on different computers)

  Unfortunately, he had no chance to check the connection here with a different material. I can't say if the latest driver is installed, but think that Yes, because of the date of purchase. So, my guess is that the power cable is not adequately protected. But if so how? Or what else could be the reason for the unexpected behavior of the modem?

  Thanks for your suggestions!

  Hello

  I heard a similar problem with another model of Satellite. Solution was to install the Satellite A110 modem driver. Please don t ask me why, but test it.

  The modem driver, you can find HERE

  Good luck!

  Yes, the restore CD contains the operating system that was installed on the laptop, all the drivers of Toshiba and tools as well as other software like Norton antivirus, Win DVD, etc.

  Then you can just boot from the recovery CD and could install from the recovery CD.
  But note; the recovery CD will format the whole HARD drive. So, you can lose all the files.

• Satellite L20: connection S-video TV - no signal

  Hello

  I connected my Satellite L20-121 (PSL20E-00C00PRU) to the TV with S-video cable. Nothing happened. There is a sign on TV'S-video - no signal. Where I'm wrong?

  Thank you very much to all those who can help me :)

  Hello

  The laptop supports an ATI graphics card?
  If yes-> go graphics card-> properties Advanced settings-> and select the view tab.
  There you can turn on the TV set.

  But as far as I know that this can only be done after the s-video cable has been connected to the laptop and TV set.

  By the way: on some TV s it s important to enable the Svideo option
