• Satellite P300 - vertical red and white lines on the screen

  Hello

  Red and small white vertical lines ' pixels may 2 each) are appearing on almost all of my screen. Sometimes, if the background is grey or white (for example a box on a web page), the display is normal on this particular area and the lines are everywhere around. This is the second time that this has happened. The last time, it disappeared after a few days. My computer is a Satellite P300.

  What can I do?

  Thanks for your help.

  I understand this correctly?
  This problem appears on all screens: internal and 2 display attached external monitor?

  Well, in my opinion, this means that the graphics card may be affected. :(

• Satellite P10: clouds white and purple fading across the screen during startup

  I had problems with my laptop PC-10 so I bought a new hard drive (Fujitsu 60 GB instead of 40 GB) standard and have it myself. I was working very well with it for a long time, until suddenly I have had the strangest problem that I've ever seen on a computer...

  Sometimes, when you start the laptop, instead of the screen normal red "TOSHIBA" and the message to start Windows XP, the laptop displays simply little weird white and purple clouds fading across the screen, fading finally on a screen very dark, but not quite black.

  I thought first it was a problem with the DVD player, like when he finally gave and started normally, the DVD drive has been disabled. However, I noticed in the BIOS, under "Advanced" the Infrared Port shows intermittently - it shows with the [Disabled] setting next to him, but will be then disappear from the list, then reappear again and then go again and so on.

  Sometimes my computer will function normally, then completely shut (mouse and all) and will restart with the clouds!

  I looked in the Windows Event Viewer for when the laptop has locked up and have seen anything to do with a problem with IRQS for the Infrared Port. I disabled the infrared port in Device Manager (I managed to activate in the BIOS by loading the standard BIOS settings) and rebooted, but it started upward with the clouds once again, so I have the feeling that the infrared port is the culprit - loose connection may be defective material because it is located close to the DVD player and HD player.

  I was wondering if anyone has seen something like this before on any computer, and if they knew how to solve? It seems completely illogical that a defective IR port could change what is displayed on the screen on startup, unless of course there is something wrong with my HD boot sector?

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I've never seen like this problem before and I don't think that this issue has something to do with the HARD drive or the IrDA port.
  As much as I know the IrDA port is not available on Satellite P10 - xxx

  For me, this looks like a faulty screen or graphics card.
  Have you tried to connect the external display? If this isn't the case, then try to do and check if it also appears on the external display.

  I recommend also to recover the laptop with Toshiba Recovery CD and then check the functionality.
  But if the malfunction appears so I would recommend contacting the Toshiba ASP for control from laptop

• Satellite M60-162: vertical and transparent stripe on the screen

  Hello

  Satellite M60-162 appeared a transparent white vertical stripe on the screen of my laptop. The band is present at startup in the BIOS and in normal operation of the computer. How can I fix?

  No doubt with the replacement of the screen.

  A few years ago I had old Satellite M70 and it had a horizontal white line on the top of the screen. The line was also visible all the time, in the BIOS, when the home Toshiba screen showed and using OS.
  I replaced the LCD screen and everything was OK again.

• Satellite L650-14F - lines and streaks appear on the screen

  I have a toshiba Satellite L650-14F PSK1LE, bought from a reseller of Romania last week and I have big problems with the video, I guess.
  The scree Somethime closes and appears a few scratches on the screen and I can't use any command.
  The blocking of the laptop. The only thing I can do is to close the laptop and re-open.
  The display driver is installed. What is the problem?

  PS: Sorry for my language and we hope you understand

  Hello

  There are some common steps that should be made on the one hand;
  -test new graphics driver
  -updated the BIOS to the latest version
  -recover the laptop to factory settings

  If the lines are still visible, you must connect an external display.
  If the lines would be visible also on the external monitor, the graphics card can be affected.

  In this case, the part needs to be replaced.
  But this is a job for a technician in ASP.

• Satellite L20 error: DVD - RAM crashes with a blue screen with the use of cd-audio

  Hello world

  I have a very annoying problem: when I use audio-cd, my Satellite tends to crash with a blue screen. When it crashes, blue screen, scrolls and immediately a black screen and a restart follows.

  It is probably a driver problem, because I have three audioprograms installed (Windows Media player, Sonic Stage MiniDisc and I-tunes).

  Can someone give me advice? Thanks in advance

  Klaas

  Hi Klaas,

  It would be useful to know what the error message is when you get the blue screen. I suggest that you disable the restart automatic installation so that your laptop stops on the blue screen and you can read the error.

  To disable the auto restart: -.

  1. right click on 'My computer' icon and then click on "Properties".
  2. click on the "Advanced" tab
  3. click on 'Settings' in the section starting and recovering (towards the bottom of the window).
  4 uncheck 'automatically restart '.

  Please post again all the details of the blue screen error message.

• Satellite L20: How can I reduce the video memory?

  I bought a L20 today with 256 MB of memory, video is set at 128 MB, can someone tell me how I can reduce this, I tried in the bios but the only option is 128 MB, the laptop is quite slow. I'll have more memory when I can, but for now if I can fix this it should help a little.

  Thank you
  Simon

  Hello

  What the name of your laptop - Satellite L20 - xxx?
  And what graphics card did you use? Intel or ATI?

  But I do not understand why you want to decrease the memory.
  If the graphics card memory so it will take the main memory.
  But if the graphics card does not need additional memory so it will not share.
  It all depends on the applications that are running on the operating system.

• LINUX and satellite L20

  Hello
  I have a TOSHIBA Satellite L20 - 182 notebook (PSL2XE) and I want to change my OS from Windows to Ubuntu Linux.
  Unfortunately, I couldn't find a drivers for my laptop that runs on Ubuntu Linux.

  So my question is - where can I find the drivers for my laptop to Ubuntu?

  Concerning

  Linux not is not supported on laptops Toshiba especially not on laptops shipped with Microsoft operating systems pre-installed, so that you will not be able to find the drivers on a single place.
  I recommend you to visit a few Linux forums and chat with others who have installed Linux on Toshiba laptops.

  I guess you can get useful advice and maybe links where to download the drivers you need.

• 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.

  Kind regards

• RAM and the satellite L20-100 HARD drive

  Hello!

  I have an old Satellite L20-100 and it has a few problems with the HARD disk. I want to buy a replacement (new HARD drive) so I need to know what are the types of FDI in L20 - 100 discs...

  In addition, what type of DDR2 RAM I should buy to install in this laptop?

  Please, help :)
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I agree with Akuma L20 supports a SATA controller and you need and 2.5 SATA HDD.
  Usually it s no matter which manufacturer is all 2.5 SATA hard drives must be compatible

  With regard to the 48-bit LBA:
  As far as I know that this could be just a problem with HDD IDE (P - ATA). SATA HDD should not be affected. So, theoretically, you could upgrade the HARD disk using larger than 128 GB.

  Regarding the upgrade of memory:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=20683&ft=m&St=3

  You need DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM and you can use 2 x 1 GB RAM

• Satellite L20: Problem reading DVD - not synchronic sound and image

  Hi, I have a toshiba satellite L20 1.4 GHz CPU, 512 MB of ram which is only 4 months old. The problem I have is that when I try to play a DVD the image is nervous and the sound is still slower than the picture and can't seem to catch up with her. I have updated all drivers that needed updating, tried to change the video settings and tried different DVD software but it makes no difference.

  I've only tried the DVD a few weeks ago so I think it was always like that, it seems to play CD OK, although he struggles a little bit a few times when you start playback of the disc if I move the cursor.
  Does anyone know if this can be cured or I have to send again.

  Hello

  This problem appears on the original DVD's?
  I know that a similar problem could occur with some movie files or ripped DVD s.
  In this case the software that was used for the DVD copy was responsible for these issues. Sometimes after installing some codex, the problem has been resolved.

  I heard that this show on the Windows Media Center Edition has been resolved by updating the MPEG Encodeder.
  Try to update this application.

• Re: Satellite L - colors and graphics have disappeared

  Hello world

  I have a problem with my screen whose colors and the graphics disappeared. This is particularly evident in my email (gmail) and Facebook.

  Performing a recovery of HARD drive won't solve the problem? Will I lose my files and other programs if I perform HARD drive recovery?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  > which the colors and graphics are gone
  How to understand this? Sorry, but I don't know what you mean it, especially if it happens on Gmail and Facebook.

  Can you post a photo or a screenshot of that?

  > Executing a HARD drive recovery will solve the problem? Will I lose my files and other programs if I perform HARD drive recovery?
  If it s just associated software problem HARD drive recovery will solve your problem, Yes. HARD drive recovery will remove the first partition, so if you have important data on the first partition you must make a backup before you start with the installation of HARD drive recovery.

• Re: Satellite L20-112 - WLan does not work after installing Win XP

  Hello

  I reinstalled Win XP on my old laptop, and all my drivers disappear.
  I downloaded all the drivers on the official website of Toshiba, and unfortunately the wifi does not work.

  My Notebook: satellite l20 - 112 psl2xe, win xp sp3, sticker for computer laptop-atheros WiFi-.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  This means that you need a WLan driver or what do you exactly by wifi does not work?

  Do you know what WLan card you have exactly?
  You could install the hardware like Everest Home Edition diagnostic tool which would provide information on the WiFi chip.

  PS: Here are all of the WLan drivers:

• 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!
