• Satellite Pro L20: battery not charge when the power adapter is connected

  Hello

  all advice appreciated.

  I had a Satellite Pro L20 for about 18 months. Recently, battery does not charge when the power adapter is connected. The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile. However the ACPI often said that AC is "offline."

  There are two recent occurrences that coincide with this problem, I try to eliminate:

  1. my friends rat chewed by the feeder for pets! Power is Mobile OK insofar as he fled sector - the rat seems to have simply chewed by the outer cover (I see some threads, but I think that is just a shield, although I'm not an electrician).

  2. I put the laptop in hibernation for the first time. That seemed to mess up the system a bit, which was what initially drew my attention to the problem. This question is a bit complicated because I'm under Linux (Xubuntu).

  I updated the drivers etc from windows when I bought the laptop. Never had any problems until now and have been running linux for centuries. Also, I have mainly the laptop the power supply turned off, but do not remove the battery (is that really a problem these days?)

  I obviously need to replace the adapter, but is - it is likely (and how I can check) that the battery was borked until?

  see you soon

  First, please check if the other are lit.
  If the AC led and power led are on the adapter sector is ok and it provides the power to the laptop.

  > The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile
  If the battery LED is yellow, this means that the battery is not fully charged and if the Green led changes then recharging is caught and the battery has been recharged.

  So I really don t see any problems with the charge process.

  Maybe the battery is old and so you cannot use it for an extended in such a case only the replacement of the battery could help.

• Satellite Pro L20 - How can I change the optical drive?

  I want to change the optical drive in a satellite pro L20 but I'm having trouble finding instructions on how to remove it. Can anyone help?

  The CURIOUS reader is fixed with a screw at the bottom of the unit. Then, turn the computer over and remove one screw an optical disk drive.
  The second screw is hidden under the keyboard. That's why this screw must be removed also. And then disconnect you should be able to pull-out of the optical drive.

  But note; If you have no experience of these things, ask a technician for laptop computer to help him.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro L20 - is MS Office on the recovery disk

  Hello

  This is my first time on this forum and I have little technical knowledge - please be gentle!

  I have a portable Satellite Pro L20, who is now 4 years old (I got it in November 2005).

  It has been running very slowly during the past year, so I removed all the software I use is no longer, have backed up all the files that I need to keep and defragment the hard drive.

  I have not really noticed a difference in the speed, I understand that I can now try to format the hard drive and reinstall windows using the product recovery disc.

  When I had first laptop, all I had to do was press the switch, enter a computer name and a couple of passwords and it is very well loaded with Office 2003, he waits for me to use!

  Could someone tell me if the office is on the recovery disk?

  It is said that a 2003 Note is there and I have a code for it, but don't talk about Word, Excel, Publisher, or PowerPoint - that I use on a daily basis.

  I looked on the CD-ROM of the additional software that comes with the laptop, and it doesn't seem to be there.

  Your help will be very appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As much as I know Microsoft Office has not been installed on the Satellite Pro L20.
  Only the OneNote2003 Office was delivered with this laptop.

  But this isn't the same OneNote and office are two different software!

  Don t mix it!

• Satellite Pro A120: How can I identify the disk - bar codes?

  I had my hard drive stolen at work with all the things my company on... The person was taken, but the police want to show me its mine, everyone in my office has the same confidential files.

  My question is: among the labels of codes bars on my hard drive... is one that would connect to my computer?
  Or is there something that can be sound from my computer?

  The computer is a satellite pro A120

• Satellite Pro L20 and an upgrade of the HARD drive

  This laptop is any size 2.5 "hard drive? Dream of a disk of 7 200 > ~ 100 GB or greater. It has only a fairly slow 40 GB 5400 installed at present.
  Also, what type is in these L20 PATA or SATA?

  Hello

  I studied a bit and it seems that the laptop supports a HARD 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB disk size.
  I advise to use disks hard speed 5400 RPM and no 7200 RPM due to the temperature of production
  Additional cell phone supports a serial ATA (SATA) interface.

  The drives as:
  MHV2100AH 100 GB
  MHV2080AH 80 GB
  MHV2060AH 60 GB

  Data transfer is supported by the speed of 475 Mbit/s and a transfer rate of 100 MB/s (Mode Ultra DMA) interface

  Hope that my small list of information will help you...

• Satellite Pro L20 dies on 70% of the battery

  battery has about 3.15 hours remaining, and the laptop turns off twice and reset the clock and date at 11 pm on January 10, 2005. technical help say that I need to send the laptop battery all etc. away just to have the battery replaced. I'm not happy.

  the problem would be - something more deep internally?

  Hello

  It's strange, and I guess it could be something wrong on the motherboard.
  If the technician says you must send the laptop everything so I don't see any other possibility.
  I think that the diagnostic test is necessary to know what goes wrong.
  Believe me without any test that it is not easy to say why this happens.

• Satellite Pro L20 - disk hard keeps spinning down

  Hi, I have recently updated the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, and I noticed that the disk hard keeps spinning down after about a minute, even while typing or surfing on the internet. I checked the power settings Windows XP and have it put on the desk, with the time 'Disable hard drive' set to 5 minutes when it is plugged and 5 minutes on battery (I always use on the same network). I checked the BIOS settings to see if there is something listed there, but there are no settings for hard disk power management in the BIOS.

  Although the turning down of the hard disk does not affect performance, I fear that it may be to focus on rising constant power drive / descent.
  The new version of BIOS is 25 April 06 Windows Bios Update for Satellite L20 (PSL2X), Satellite Pro L20 (PSL2Y) and Equium L20 (PSL2Z)', or a file 2, 20 - WIN.

  I think that it s nothing unusual that the HARD drive keeps spinning down applies none or BONES need the HARD disk activity.
  In addition, the turning down of the HARD drive has no effect from the bottom on the performance of the HARD disk or over the life of the HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro L20-184: Question about upgrading CPU

  Hello
  I bought a Satellite Pro l20 184
  I can replace the Pentium M 735 2 MB of L2 cache processor
  FSB 400 1.7 GHz?

  concerning

  Hello Constantin

  The answer is that no, it is not possible to replace the processor in a Toshiba laptop. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation.

• Need to reinstall windows, but does not have any CD - Satellite Pro L20

  Hi, I wanted to reinstall Windows XP home on my Satellite Pro L20, but do not have the software that my laptop came with (read the discs lost). I have a valid XP tone (like its stuck on the bottom of my laptop), but no disc so I tired using a copy of a cd of Windows XP home, which did not work, but let me go as far as the formatting of the hard drive.

  So now I use Ubuntu, but want to reinstall Windows. Have valid product key, but no software to reinstall.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Christopher

  Valid key will not help you. This key belongs to the image recovery and copy included WXP he.
  If you have two options. Either you order original Toshiba recovery image or use Microsoft installations CD key which belongs to this copy. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro L20 - broken hinge baseplate - where to find the parts?

  Hello

  First post here, so please excuse the lack of local etiquette.

  My son has a Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 with a broken hinge base plate. I'm calling it a base plate that I can not find the name of the part anywhere on the web so far.

  Its obviously the metal plate on the basis that the hinge attaches to.
  You can see it if you remove the battery.

  Nobody knows what is this part and where I could possibly buy one?

  Kind regards

  Jimmy

  I think that in this case the ASP from Toshiba (certified partner) might help you.

  You must enter in contact of this ASP in your country and the technician should be able to order a compatible part for laptop.
