• 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.

• BSOD - black screen of death to Satellite P20 552

  Hello

  I have this laptop since 2005.

  Today, after put the laptop to sleep, I picked up, and then after the system restored Windows, the screen started going black and back to normal, once again, then I noticed some artifacts on the screen, then black again, then normal, then artifacts, etc. This continued for about 2 minutes, after which I delivered to zero by pressing and holding down the power button.

  When I turned on the laptop again, I got the dreaded BSOD, black version. Symptoms:

  -Black screen (blue BSOD)
  -No logo TOSHIBA
  -No test POST
  -No visible inscription on the screen
  -No HARD drive activity (HDD seems it does not work)
  -CDROM seems to work, but cannot start with the XP CD or Bootmed Rescue CD. CD ROM glad to read the disc and then idling.

  Tried so far:

  1. with the help of the P20-552 on my Toshiba Satellite 1950 801 PSU. Works.
  2 begin the Satellite P20 552 of the battery of the device. Power supply is removed. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
  3. remove the battery and start satellite P20 552, with its own power supply. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
  4 remove the battery and start Satellite P20 552 upward with a PSU of Toshiba Satellite 1950 801. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
  5. remove all devices, the baterry and CDROM drive and hold down the power button / stop for 1 minute, then try to start. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
  6. start-up of exploitation and hold (key insert of your choice here). Same results.

  I am an advanced PC user. I own 3 different PC, 2 Toshiba laptops and a desktop PC with a Gigabyte MOBO and processor Intel QX 9650 (Extreme Yorkfield) that I assembled from scratch. My Toshiba Satellite 1950 801 worked tirelessly and flawlessly for, uh, almost ten years now.

  It seems to me that this issue is a matter of 'sudden death' MOBO. I thought to open the laptop and remove the CMOS battery, because how Satellite P20 552 lacks a "hard reset" button

  What do you think guys? Some tips before you apply the Russian system on the laptop P20-552?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I don t think that remove the CMOS battery would be useful in this case
  You could remove one of the memory modules and could test each module in each of the slots.
  This could be useful in case one of these modules or the slots would be defective.

  You said that there is no Toshiba start screen and no message (power on self-test) perceptible property, this means that a motherboard or a part on the motherboard could be defective, but the black screen with artifacts may be the result of a GPU malfunction.

  What do you think?

• Satellite P20-552: A second HDD can be added

  A second hard drive can be added to this laptop? What is the largest hard drive that will support this laptop?

  Hello

  You are right. Satellite P20-552 supports the feature Select bay (2 x modular Bay).
  Usually the 2.5 HARD disk i/o are supported but if you want to use the Bay select a particular disc case HARD is necessary.

• What are the differences between Satellite P20 - 552 & P20-304 and P20-771

  I have P20 - 552 with a malfunctioning motherboard, graphics card problem rather nVidia gf5700(on board).
  After the review service, they told me to pay only for mboard more new computer...

  Prior to this decision, I found some used nbooks this model, but with different types, P20-304, 304, etc. 771. I guess that's even kind with different processors. Can anyone suggest me if I want to buy the same and change the motheboard, they will be compatible with mine? Or do something different, do not to buy again a nb ;-)

  Thanks for the reply

  Hello

  I don't see why you can't use another motherboard. As you know the motherboard is the heart of the laptop and all other components are connected to the motherboard. I found some info on P20-404 and P20-771.

  * Satellite P20 404: *.
  Processor: P4-HT 3.0GHz
  Graphics card: nVIDIA GeForce FX Go5600
  Wireless: Wireless / WiFi Standard: 802. 11B option
  Bluetooth: Bluetooth version 1.1 is not available

  * Satellite P20-771: *.
  Processor: P4-HT 3.4 GHz
  Graphics card: nVIDIA GeForce FX Go5700
  Wireless: Wireless / WiFi Standard: 802. 11 b / g
  Bluetooth: Bluetooth version 1.1 (2.4 GHz)

  I think that there is no reason why you can't use mainboard of P20 - 771.

• Satellite P20-552 does not start

  Hello

  currently operating on WinXp SvcPACK 2 and my graphics card do not work... I downloaded the drivers and the computer does not start it could freeze on a black screen then restart se...
  Help, please...
  Thank you...

  Hello

  Try to start the machine in safe mode and remove the preinstalled graphics card driver. Restart the device and try again. See the download from Toshiba site and download the latest updated driver for this device. My old unit was the Satellite P20-303 and I updated with SP2 with no problems.

  NVIDIA graphics card worked perfectly, all the time.

• Vista on Satellite P20 - need graphic driver

  Hi, I do not know if I have posted this question before on this forum, but I can't find it please bear with me.

  I have a Satellite P20. The graphics card is a nvidia fx go 5200. I am now runnig Vista full Edition and you want to install the Vista nvidia driver. When I try it says I must go to Toshiba that their driver controls shortcut keys. There is no Vista driver for my card on the Web from Toshiba website. Is it possible that I can get the driver to install. I'm not bothered about shortcut keys that I never use.

  Hi mate,

  because Vista is not supported on this machine you won´t get the official drivers for it. The only possibility would be to try the drivers from [Laptopvideo2Go | http://www.laptopvideo2go.com] and check if they are.
  The graphics card is old, the machine is old and you need of enough RAM for Vista smoothly.

  But I ask you: why Don t you stay with Windows XP? It s more reliable, it s faster and you have same official drivers for it...

  Just think about some short on this subject, otherwise visit the suggested site and try your luck. :)

  Greetings

• Satellite C55-B5170 - graphics issue when you play

  Hello

  I recently bought my Satellite (C55-B5170) and started to install applications of my previous laptop. However, when I went to try to play a game, I found that the graphics have been pixelated/blocks. This happened with almost all of the games I've tried. All my drivers are up to date, and I have not seen this problem on another thread.

  Thank you!

  EDIT: Minecraft, a game quite simply, is broken (similar to the image provided). However, the Lego game worlds newly released works very well.

  All of your games is designed for Win8/Win8.1?

• Satellite P20: updated graphics - Asis XG Station

  Hello world

  I read all messages not being able to update the graphics on a P20, but just saw this.

  http://www.fareastgizmos.com/computing/asus_xg_station_worlds_first_external_graphics_car d_station_for_notebook_computers.php

  Now the question is - that can be routed to the monitor on board the P20?

  Richard

  There is no product of Toshiba and in my opinion the best way to get all the details about this external device is to ask the support of manufacturing.
  But on the sample photo, the laptop is closed and therefore in my opinion, this device displays the screen only on the external monitor. But it s only my suggestion.

  For more information, please ask for the manufacturing of the device. Please post details if you know more about it and how it works. Thank you

• Satellite A200-1IZ: graphics issue

  Hello

  I bought Toshiba Satellite A200-1iZ 3 days
  And I've got someone with my chart like this:
  http://www.fotosik.pl/pokaz_obrazek/pelny/3411bae30709a6b2.html.

  If I go back, it'll be normal. but this is the 2nd time ;/
  What should I do?

  Maybe something wring with the graphics card?
  IF this question is displayed again, connect it to an external monitor to check if the same will appear on the second screen.
  If this problem does not appear on the external monitor then display either the laptop or the malfunction of the inverter FL.

  However, two cases, must contact the service provider authorized in your country because this could be a hardware problem and the defective part must be replaced.

• Satellite P20-552: BIOS will support the 80 GB HARD drive?

  I currently have a 80 GB hard drive in my notebook. I read that the BIOS will not handle a hard drive-it's an absolute or a BIOS update will fix this limitation?

  Hello

  I read the same info on the HARD drive compatible for Sat P20.
  According to some owners Sat P20 the laptop supports 30 GB / 40 GB/60 GB/80 GB
  Hard drives.
  But you know, these aren't the official information and I recommend simply test several sizes.
  Maybe a 100 GB HARD drive will be supported
