• Satellite P20 S203 does not recognize my additional 1 GB memory

  Hi all

  My computer (Satellite P20 S203) does not recognize my second Bank of memory (1 GB). I have two banks of memory of 1 GB installed. BIOS reports only 1 GB, Windows reports that 1 GB and my Linux so he says only 1 GB of memory. I removed each Bank of memory and restarted the computer successfully in each of the two slots, No Problem, but when the two banks of memory are inserted, it always uses only 1 GB. My BIOS is on version 2.10:

  BIOS is the PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0

  I know it's an old computer (about 10 years), but what could cause such a problem?

  Thanks a lot for any advice or suggestions!

  Kind regards
  Andy

  Hi fuegi_1,

  The upgrade modules, bought exactly?

  To me it sounds like that it s a compatibility problem or your computer laptop doesn't support 2 GB.

  If you use two memory modules, you must only use two modules of the same production.

• Satellite P20 S203 stops suddenly

  Hello

  In the last month my Satellite P20 S203 does so well, and unfortunately it seems that the problem is a hardware one (but I'm not sure, and that's why I'm writing here)

  The computer just stops suddenly (it happened 2 or 3 times in the last 30 days); every time it happened I was on the web on Firefox, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with it, and I'm also 99% sure that this is not a virus, malware or something like that, cause I formatted there are 3 months and nothing else behave in a strange way, the computer is slow or something like that.

  The last two options are that the question can be of a physical nature, or a software (as a conflict between the operating system and installed programs); I'm more to the first, but I do not know and I need assistance to find out... What should I do?

  In addition, when it stops suddenly, it won't turn with the first try.
  He needs like 10 or 20 times to open like an old car that won't start; the first, say, 5 times I try to turn it on, it appears only the toshiba logo.
  It then passes through a screen, I can not read because it goes too fast.

  Then a black screen, then it turns off again.
  With the next try that it goes a bit further, as it displays the windows logo, but as this image is fading, it stops halfway through the fading process, resulting in a darker windows logo, as it is too difficult for her to load the OS!

  But then it turns off again!

  Then after a few other attempts it finally loads windows.

  Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

  OS: Windows XP SP2

  Hello

  Maybe the laptop stops due to a higher internal temperature.
  High temperature leads to an overheating of the questions and the laptop would be stops down automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.
  The other point is that the high temperature may affect the RAM modules.
  In this case the laptop computer may freeze or you will receive a Blue Screen Of Death.

  I had a similar problem in the past. About 6 years ago my first oldie started to overheat.
  I cleaned the cooling modules, but the questions again.
  Finally, I contacted the laptop technician in downtown, and he said that the thermal grease that is placed between the cooling module and the CPU must be renewed.

  He did, and it helped!

• Satellite P20 S203 - where can I get the cover external big screen?

  Hi all

  Anyone know where to find an outer cover of the big screen Satellite P20 S203?

  I broke it because I disassembled all the pc some time ago, and as I can see now that I took out the black cover around the screen. I forgot to screw the 2 screws on the hinges that make it able to open and close. It is only broken on one of the screens, hinges, so the pc is still usable, with appropriate caution, I can still open and close, but sooner or later, I think that the other will be too broke, opening and closing of the screen all the time, so I have to replace it
  .
  Hope someone can help me.
  Good bye

  Hello

  I'm not sure what cover you mean exactly, but you can get all the spare parts to an authorized service provider. On the Toshiba page, you can find a list of them.

  You must only contact them by phone, for example. Explain the situation and maybe they can send you a new cover.

  Hello

  You need to buy a compatible player!
  Not all slim drives are compatible due to different master slave / parameters c - salt!

  Generally, your user manual must contain a list of compatible drives.
  If you have no user manual to use this device, then you can download it here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/-> support downloads & -> Toshiba operating manual

  Here, you have to choose Archive as first option!

  On the other hand, you could get in touch with a local ASP from Toshiba.
  Guys might provide a good information on the supported disc!

• Satellite P20 S203: how to change the graphics card memory

  My laptop has 32 MB graphics card I was wondering how I would improve my Vram to 64. What I do how would be, where would it be and what I have to install?

  Thank you

  To my knowledge, the Satellite P20 S203 was delivered with a nVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 32 MB of video ram. But this isn't a shared memory graphics card!
  In this case, you cannot change the settings of video ram.

  In addition he s is not possible to upgrade or replace the graphics card. Unfortunately, there is nothing to see ;(

• Satellite P10 874: update BIOS wrong changes the serial number?

  Hello

  I have Satellite P10 874, my model number has erased the background after years of use.
  I recently did an update of the Bios of the Web from Toshiba site and realized more late it was for the SP10E models.

  Well my system did not fall down. (Part no) model number change if you update with a version of Bios, not intended to be your system?

  My system is still under warranty, but the new model series/number combo is shown as invalid global law database. My USB ports don't work anymore after that it showed a message of power surge.

  I need to go to the customer Service. Is there a way to retrieve my originial model no and not?

  Any help will be much appreciated.

  Concerning
  lejoe

  A 'bad' Biosupdate does or does not replace the modelnumber of your machine. So you don t have to worry when you give the machine to a service centre, they have the ability to retrieve your serial number with their system and understand the modelnumber of your machine.

  With regard to your USB ports: send the machine to your local concern for service-center and Don t on the modelnumber stuff. Your machine is still under warranty and since they will change about your pcb, your worries on the bad bios system is useless.

  Furthermore, I can't imagine that you seriously a bad bios Flash, since the machine during the biosupdate ususally scream if you try to Flash a bios wrong on it.

  What can I do to make it possible upgrade of bios?

  Hello

  Fist question: why you want to update the BIOS?
  Have you had problems with your unit?

  I use my laptop for 6 years and I've never update of the BIOS. It of not necessary for me because everything works fine.
  If you have any problems you shouldn't t update the BIOS because the BIOS upgrade procedure is dangerous.

  Wrong or bad BIOS BIOS can damage the motherboard.
  If you want to know how to update BIOS please check the Toshiba FAQ:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000000b07

• Satellite A110-352 - update BIOS (MS-MS-BACK/Vista x 64)

  I want to upgrade the BIOS on my cell A110-352. I run Windows Vista Business x 64, however, the utility of the bios for vista in the downloads section shows an authorization error (even when I run the program explicitly as an administrator).
  Aid said that there are two ways to update, on of them is classic cd-rom boot, sort of update of ms - dos, but the MS-DOS software for the update of the bios is not provided in the download section.

  I was hoping that with a newer BIOS, all my 4 GB of RAM could be recognized.
  Any idea, what tool/procedure is best to use for the update of the bios.
  I hope someone can tell me where I can find the zip file, described in the 'how to' on the Toshiba site.

  Hi Roderik

  Let's talk facts;

  Is that ONLY the BIOS Win versions are available on the European driver Toshiba page. These BIOS can be improved by running only the Windows operating system.
  The traditional BIOS update is not available on the Toshiba page it simply doesn t exist
  So if you want to update the BIOS, you will need to use the version on the page.

  So now, let's talk about the issue of ram of 4 GB.
  Is that different components need to support 4 GB if you want to use 4 GB memory full. The components are so; BIOS, Chipset and Windows OS.
  If on this components will not support the 4 GB then you will not be able to use it

  This means that an update of the BIOS will not use the 4 GB if the other parties will not support 4 GB!

  Google around a bit and find info on prices.

• Application of Satellite L300 PSLB2E update Bios

  Hello. I'm sorry but I don't know where to ask for a request for update of the Bios.

  As we all know that x 3100 is a new graphics chipset and Intel is developing to make it worked better and better.
  Currently, the site of intel, there is a new driver 15.9 but it has not been updated on the Support from Toshiba site.

  But I managed to install the driver manually, I can't update the Vbios version * 1588 * such as suggested by Intel (Vbios can only be updated by the TSR and the main bios version) to fix the bug of corruption of the memory and BSOD that exist in 1436.

  I hope Toshiba will have a new update of the Bios (Vbios is sufficient for just) to fix the current bugs caused by the Intel Chipset.

  Thank you.

  Are you talking about the chip for desktop PC Intel or chipset for laptops?
  I m not a L300 owner but to my knowledge, the L300 supports the Mobile Intel GL960 chipset.

  You know that Toshiba portable computers are equipped with the BIOS that has been specially configured for the only series from Toshiba. Thus, it also manages its own characteristics.
  You know that Toshiba use own graphics drivers.
  Original published by graphic manufacturer (Intel, nVidia, ATI) graphics drivers are not the same as drivers Toshiba.
  So Don t mix it. It s recommended to use the graphics drivers from the Toshiba page (not Intel)!

  With regard to the update of the BIOS;
  I noticed that from time to time (any series of notebook) BIOS updates are released, then published on the page of the driver. I think it's only a matter of time when the new update will be available.

  See you soon

• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: update BIOS - my version of the OS is not listed in the BIOS version, I want to update

  Hello

  I need quick information. I want to update my BIOS. The current version is F.00 - 03/07/2013 and I want to update the F.27 Rev.A - version 25/07/2016. However, Win 10 (which is the operating system I use) is not listed as an operating system supported for this BIOS (latest version for Win Win 8.1 support 64 bit). I would like to know if I can still download and use the version of the 25/07/2016 F.27 Rev.A BIOS even if the latest OS is win 8.1 64 bit, while I use Win 10 64 bit?

  Thank you.

  Dear customer,

  Updated the BIOS for the Chipset and is not serious if the unit has WIN 8 or 10 to WIN.

  As it says BIOS-Basic Input Output System

  The BIOS is a chip on the motherboard.

  We recommend you update the device with the latest available BIOS VER for chipset perform better.

• Satellite P20 S203 internal bluetooth

  Hello

  I just checked under the modem Board in my P20 S203 and it is necessary to install an internal bluetooth card. It needs to connect to the motherboard via a ribbon cable as the module bluetooth for the M200 series. However, I can't find the exact reference for my computer anywhere...

  In addition, there are some P20 computers that already come with internal bluetooth installed. Reference that applies to my computer? I already have a bluetooth SD card 2 and I'm always afraid that I break or lose...

  Kind regards
  Fernando Birra

  Hello

  I do not understand why you do not use your SD Bluetooth card. If you have problems with the small parts buy the cotyledon. :)

  Bluetooth PC Card (TDK) seems to be appropriate for your laptop. The information you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Products > Options & Accessories > Communications. Part number is PX1086E-1PCC.

  Good bye
