• Satellite P20-304: change the keyboard, decision problems...

  I want to replace the old keyboard with a new one, but I don't know that I should order. I found 2 different types: manufacturer id: K000006120 and K000015440 , but can't decide which one is right, because they seem to be the same?
  Post a real question: what is the manufacturer id of the keyboard just for my p20-304?

  Can answer this question by a service partner!
  K000 numbers appear to be an internal number of Toshiba and, therefore, it is not easy to know what part is compatible or not.
  Make a call to the guys at Toshiba service provider allowed in your country and ask for the right part and order.

  Good luck

• Satellite P20-304 stops unexpectedly

  I have a laptop satellite P20 304 coming sometimes turns off without warning.
  The screen goes black and the power is off.

  This sometimes happens during a search, but alos is writing a letter. If not necessary a high workload for the laptop.

  Opening vents are free etc. I guess maybe an overheating problem, but wonder if this causes this kind of stop procedere.
  Also - there no poping blue screen or report failure upwards by re-start such as "the system will be re-stored after a major system crash ect.

  No idea what it could be.

  I installed Sandra Sisoft to monitor the temperature, but it only shows me no module to control the temperature,
  respectively, that it does not work.

  My warranty runs out in June, so I want to make sure that I can claim any defect prior to that.

  Thnaks for any input,

  Hello

  It's not very easy to say why this laptop stops. It could be an overheating problem or a malfunction of the software. But I tend to overheat.
  Well, the problem of overheating occurs due to her malfunctioning fans or malfunction of the equipment.
  I assume that your warranty is valid, so I recommend you to check your laptop in service partner. Maybe, it can give you a good answer, why this problem occurs.

  ~ Nour

  I guess that you have activated the Device Manager and there is no yellow exclamation point isn't good?
  Figure modem in the list?
  It should be!

  How have you tried to configure the dial-up access?
  You should do this;
  Go to the category modems Options - Control Panel - hardware and sound - and.
  In the local info window, select an area code; for example, 0.
  Then click the Modems tab, click Add.
  If a User Account Control warning window appears, click on continue, and then click Next.
  Now Windows Vista should attempt to detect the modem.
  When the modem installation is complete, click Finish.

  Then the new modem installed should appear. Click OK to close the Options of Modem and telephony.
  Now, your modem is installed correctly, and you must now create a modem connection.

• Problem of graphics card on Satellite P20 552 & Qosmio G10

  Hallo,

  I have two 17-inch monitors computers laptop Toshiba as desktop replacement: 1 x Satellite P20 552 & 1 x Qosmio G10.
  Both are dead graphics card problem.
  The conclusion of my research on the WEB, it's the nVidia FX Go5700 card seems to be the weak point of these laptops.

  On the Satellite Map dies slowly: during startup Toshiba logo disappeared but WinXP logo was very good load, then WinXP loaded with the screen not refreshing and the problem of synchronization, etc..
  The Qosmio died suddenly: activities on the hard drive I guess load WinXP, but black screen (internal and external)!

  I know that, unlike the desktop computer, the graphics processor is not a separate entity; It is built into the motherboard. My questions are:

  (1) who should be blamed, Toshiba or Nvidia?
  (2) how to prevent premature rupture of the card/motherboard?
  (3) the card/motherboard could be repaired?

  Hallo

  I have red Satellite P20 304 and it still works well. Maybe you can offer this story to someone else, but I can say that Satellite P20 is great for laptop. I like it. Old, but still has an attractive design.
  If you have no luck I can understand it but to talk in general and write about weakness is for me nothing more than absurd.

  Nice questions here especially one. :)
  1 - to blame someone will help any. Try to get the replacement and get it working again.
  2. There is nothing you can do. All you can do is to take care of the use of the laptop and do not overheat.
  3. as far as I know that something like this is not possible. In this case the motherboard will be replaced.

  What you can do is to check eBay from time to time. You may be lucky and you can buy used motherboard for a good price and exchange it.

• Satellite P20/P25: Boot process stops at an early stage

  Hi forum,

  with my satellite P20-304 (PSP20E - the European version of the P25) when (re-) start, at certain times, the satellite crashes and does not respond. This is the case at a very early stage of the start-up procedure where again there is nothing on the screen.

  When this happens, the screen remains black or sometimes gray, and I have to press the button of power for five seconds to force shutdown.

  Other than that, the Satellite works very well.

  All the patches and updates that I would like to know, as well as the last update of the BIOS (v1.30) have been applied.

  Already thanks for all advice to what could cause this problem.

  David.P

  Hi David

  It's not easy to say why it happens.
  I think that we can only speculate. So I found on the page of the Toshiba driver a new version of the BIOS. It s 2.10. But it seems that this BIOS is usable only on Satellite P20 units that contain "PSP20E" in the model number.

  If you could check your model number and your device contains the number of this piece, you could try updating the BIOS to 2.10. Before updating the PIF, you should check the upgrade procedure. You know, the bad BIOS and the wrong procedure can make some problems on the Board.

  I think you should also be sure that each driver is up-to-date.
  I put t know how you installed the operating system but eventually the corrupted files on the HARD disk might be responsible for the hanging.
  This could be the case if the laptop goes correctly the Toshiba start screen. Otherwise if the Toshiba start screen does not appear so especially a hardware malfunction is a reason for such problems.

• Satellite P20 can be rotated 90 degrees external display?

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite P20 304 (about 2 years now) with a graphics processor GeForce FX Go5600. I would like to rotate the image to external monitor so that I can use a size of 1200 x 1600 (height than width) rather than the 1600 x 1200 standard. I just downloaded the new Toshiba drivers nv4_disp.dll 6.14.10.4718 and also checked all offers from NVidea (their pilots do not recognize chipset). But all to no effect. I can't the nvrotate offering coming onder the GeForce FX Go5600 properties.

  Can someone help me.
  Thank you

  As much as I know the graphic driver for old P20 don t have this option. Usually if you buy software external screen with special rotate option is provided that allows you to do this.

  Check it please advanced option search on this forum. I'm sure that for a single user has asked the same question. You may find the answer here.

• Satellite P20 no charging current when the machine is running

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite P20. I'm having a problem with the battery. When I turn on my computer and try and charge the battery wilst working, battery is not charging.

  However, when I turn off the machine the battery normally charges.

  This prevents me from working for long periods because it seems that I can't work and load my machine at the same time. Help, please.

  Concerning
  Rudolf

  Hello

  How old is your unit and has been the problem from the beginning?
  In my opinion it is either a problem with the motherboard electronic or battery failure there. The two cases are possible.

  So you could buy a new battery for a check or you will contact the ASP and technicians can find the fault.

  In my opinion, you should first contact the ASP. In this case, you need not spend a lot of money for a battery which could be allowed.

  According to the specification upgrade BT is not possible. Anyway can you please post exact description of model P20 (P20 - xxx).

  I would get an internal wifi card for P20 - 203 my father - I read here: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=61202 - the slot takes a mini PCI - does that mean this Yellowtail should work or do we need the "Toshiba" one?

  Hello

  Satellite P20 S203 is certainly Wi - Fi level and according to the specification of Toshiba (at this time), you can use two compatible WIFI adapters:
  Wireless LAN card PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802. 11b) and PA3273U-2MPC (Atheros 802.11ab).

  The card you want to use is new product, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work. Just try everything and if there is a problem of compatibility you can return.
