  HI khadija.

  you wrote your p20's new ad out of the box, then you use the operating system preinstalled Toshiba, not you?

  You can try to reinstall the graphics driver (Toshiba Tools & Utilities CD or you go in https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com - Driver download and choose your machine). Compare the two driver versions ad install the newest one!

  What resolution do you use?

  Your secod problem can be solved if you check your settings in the Toshiba Power Saver. Perhaps, you set its default value. If this does not resolve the problem, you must reinstall the energy saver!

  Tip: You can also use the Mode shows up. This mode stops the laptop and the power is off. At the next startup mode will point load of a hard disk image and you can work! It is faster that normal startup, and all power is off in Hibernation mode.

• 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. :)

• Satellite 1730, update graphics card

  At work, we have a Toshiba Satellite 1730 that I wanted to update the graphics card to. It's an ATI card, but I was recommended to go to the manufacturer of the laptop computer for an update.
  But Toshiba support I only find an update for Windows Me.
  I know that the laptop comes with Windows ME, but sice then support of PC at work have upgraded to Windows 2000.
  Where can I find an update for the graphics card for Windows 2000?

  Hallrar

  Hello

  You are right on the BONE. This model of laptop comes with WinME only and there is no support for other operating systems. The only thing you can do is to get the driver for your graphic card to the producer download site on the net.

  Your laptop is a graphics chip ATI RAGE Mobility-C.

• Satellite P20 S203: update BIOS after version 1.70

  Hello! I have a Satellite P20 - S203 BIOS is Ver1.70, published on 20/11/2003. I think there pretty outdated now, but there has been no new versions for years and I think that this great computer, despite the old, should be more supported. What I don't understand is why they made an exit for the PSP23E and not for the PSP20E, that make the differences that they should deserve to be updated bios different?

  Does anyone of you know about BIOS versions after 1.70 which allow the laptop to boot from SD cards or removable media? And that the problems of the management of multiple USB devices?
  Thank you

  Hello

  I use P20 over two years, without any update of the BIOS. If your device works well I recommend you to leave. Boot from the SD card is not possible and update the BIOS will not allow this.

  What problem do you have with the USB devices?

• 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: upgrade graphics card

"process because the right of keyboards above the hard drive then buy a card off a Nvida site hope this has given is a man of hope"

  Can anyone comment on what I would like to be able to upgrade my P20.

  Richard

  Hi Richard

  Update graphics card is serious theme and my only comment to that is: pick up serious source info and not in the forum where everyone can say learn all about laptops.

  Sorry, but I'm still a little skeptical about some of the comments. I had P20 for about a year and a half and it is very nice for laptop (desktop replacement). The unit is powerful enough and with max RAM you can have a very nice unit. But never forget that this device is not so flexible as desktop computers for the hardware upgrade.

  Another thing: a few months ago, I googled around and searched some independent reseller (non-Toshiba) where I can buy parts of different material. I can tell you one. You can get everything but they don t offer updated graphics card. Guess why!

  Good speed with upgrade, but please don t claim later that the unit is too hot or too strong, maybe or anything else!

• 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 ;(

• Can't install NVIDIA GO5200 on Satellite P20 graphics driver

  I uninstalled my NVIDIA driver original because I checked the www.nnidia.com they have the latest version of the driver, so I thought it would be nice.

  But the new driver does not work on my Satellite P20 and now I can't install my old driver because Windows XP keeps coming out with the message "cannot INSTALL THIS NVIDIA GEFORCE GO5200 YEAR DEVICE ERROR OCCURRED DURING THE INSTALLATION OF THE DEVICE ACCESS IS DENIED."

  I need help. I check Microsoft Help and support site, follow through a few examples, but none seems not to work.
  My last option is to reformat and reinstall Windows XP.
  Someone has a gantry solution?

  Hello

  It's no surprise! It of not possible to install the original graphic drivers of the graphics card manufacturing!
  Toshiba use own graphics driver and it are a bit changed due to overheating problems.
  The graphics driver Toshiba control the graphics card temperature level. If the temperature rises to the critical level driver decrease the performance of the card to avoid overheating. Drivers graphic originals don't feature such support!

  That is why it s always advisable to use the graphics drivers Toshiba!

• 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.
