Satellite L20 screen empty to a grey or orange color

Satellite L20 screen empty to a color gray or orange, sometimes this problem occurs mainly when I'm on the internet and I use firefox.
It can happen two times per day or 1 every week, it seems to be no cause for this, happens on various web sites, are up to date anti virus and spyware installed and run on a regular basis.

Someone has a similar problem, out the problem I need to stop the laptop with a short press of the power button / stop, this triggers the shutdown procedure, on reboot, everything is ok

Hello

Strange! This problem only occurs when you're on the internet and use the firefox application? What s on IE? Occur also with other programs?

These strange sounds of relay, and if it appears only with a specific application, so I guess it's a software problem.
Sorry, but all I can suggest is to remove the firefox and install again or / and recover the device with the Toshiba Recovery CD supplied.

    Although if I turn it on, and besides, it will work after a few tries, sometimes it works the first time, others, I turn on and off like 20 times until he finally started working. When it turns on, it works perfectly.

    I tried:
    by pressing the power button for 1 min while the charger and the battery
    Manually check the RAM.
    reinstalling and updating graphics and monitor pilot card.
    shaking the lid to check if there is a broken cable
    but none of these things worked

    I also noticed that the computer works with an external monitor (TV) connected via hdmi.
    If I turn on the laptop, the screen is blank, no sound Windows played and after a few minutes I plug the cable hdmi, the Tv shows that windows was, and sounds begin to work from there.

    When you are connected to the TV, I try to turn on the screen by pressing (windws key + P) but it does not work.
    In the menu screen resolution, windows cannot detect the display, only the TV

  • Satellite A100 - screen empty, no electricity, no start

    Hello

    I have a Tosh A100 for about 2 months. When I tried to put in operation today the power button lights up and wakes up the disk drive, but I have no other power than that. no key command does not work. I can hear and feel the fan is running, but there is no other activity at all. any tips or advice?

    Hi mate,

    Unfortunately I can't say with certainty what the problem, but I can tell you what you can try to make your machine still works:

    Remove the battery and the captain, and then let the machine for a few hours without power etc. (make sure that no devices are attached).

    After re-introduced the AC and the battery, the machine must start again.

    If the problem occurs more than once while you must contact an ASP (Authorized Service Partner) for a checkup of equipment or repair:

  • 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.

  • Satellite L20 - 101 - Sound driver causes blue screen

    1. my laptop is a Satellite L20-101. It worked fine until yesterday when I reinstalled the system (from recovery cd) after 3 years. I have updated the bios to version 1.70 (drawn from the toshiba site). Devices audio conexant could not be recognized, and if I run the installation of the latest audio drivers (sound-20080604145033), it fixes the problem, but when you restart the system and login as administrator I get a blue screen. Any help pls?

    2. given that the LAN card is working, there is a message for the installation of a driver for a network device!

    3. when the system starts up, I get an error 0 x 57 for toshiba power saver. Even when I reinstalled ver 7.03.02.I from toshiba Web site the problem remains.

    Thanks in advance
    Maxco

    Hi maxco,.

    About its pilot I n don't know why you're getting a blue screen with the latest version, but I advise to use the preinstalled version of Toshiba recovery disc. So try a point-to-point previous system restore.

    Driver LAN and Toshiba Power Saver, you can download from the official site. Relocation of these tools should work!

  • Satellite L20 - white line on LCD screen

    Hi all

    has recently received a small white line on my screen. I have a Satellite L20. It s the size of a discontinued pin, it stays there no matter if I open different windows, only went off on the reboot. Now, if all goes well, his back goes to reboot.

    Anyone know why it looks and what I can do when that happens?
    See you soon

    Well first of all, try to reinstall or update your display drivers. If it does not make it, well I'd say contact your local ASP.
    Could be something wrong with the screen itself.

    A question is always in the same place where this white line appears or does it differ?

  • Satellite L20: Can I disconnect devices such as USB mouse without turning off the power?

    Hi all.
    I am owner of laptop Satellite L20. I always turned off power to my computer when I need to connect or disconnect a USB device. Some devices have a special icon on the toolbar disconnect them, but some don't (FDD USB or flash drives). Can I disconnect and connect devices such as mouse USB or Scanner wihtout turning off the power?

  • The volume is too low on my Satellite L20

    First of all sorry for my bad English...

    I just bought a Satellite L20 and I am very disappointed by the volume of the speakers... I read several other post with people complaining of the same issue.
    It is almost impossible to watch a movie being able to catch all the words! The problem remains when you connect earphones.
    I already checked that al volumes are at the maximum level (Control Panel, hardware, player windows media, powerdvd etc.).
    I am very angry with this as I often watch movies and listen to music, but the volume is really low...
    Is there something to do?

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hi arch

    My colleague has Satellite Pro L20 (same as Satellite L20). I saw this camera and the sound quality is not the best. I agree with you that the sound is not loud, especially in writing, because the hands cover the speakers.

    If you check other notebook series speakers are, as a rule, placed close to the screen. In my opinion, it is much better solution. In any case the Satellite L20 is unit low budget and the focus was not multimedia surgraves just. So that the camera is very good and the price is right.

    Personally, I want to have the multimedia unit, but these units are much more expensive. Unfortunately, you have to live with it. In any case, I hope that you will reach all day on your device and there is no other serious problems.

    Good luck!

    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.

    My Satellite L550 laptop shows that a screen empty.
    I attached another screen. I've already updated the display driver. Then I tried to update the BIOS. There were 2 versions to upgrade to.

    When I tried to upgrade to the 2011 version, I got the following error: "Version of Bios more high capacity 220/battery more than 10%/AC is attached. Then I upgraded to the oldest, one dating from 2010, which gave no error. The screen remains blank.

    What can I try next?

    If possible try to connect your laptop to external monitor and check if you can see something on the screen.
    > So I had to upgrade to the oldest, one dating from 2010, which gave no error. The screen remains blank.
    How, you can upgrade the BIOS if you don't see anything on the screen? I don't understand this. ?:|

  • Re: Satellite L20-155 crashes randomly

    Hello

    You have a strange problem with the Satellite L20-155, about three years.

    During use, it just hangs. The mouse is not responding. No error message in the event log, using windows XP Professional Ed. Screen is frozen.

    I have seems to happen randomly. Sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes 10. Sometimes, it crashes then on the XP Welcome screen. \

    Open the folder to see if there was a lot of dust in the fan to avoid a temperature problem. This was not the case. The fan was clean and properly in the course of execution.

    Tried to start the pc in safe mode. Because in safe mode I don't seem to have problems, I decided to reinstall XP everywhere because I thought he might have had a software problem, but during the installation, the PC crashes also. Everything freezes. No response what so ever. He tried twice. In the copy of the files, the PC crashes.

    Has someone experienced similar problems?
    This sounds like a hard drive problem?

    I would like to know suddenly course where I have buy a new hard drive.

    Thank you
