• Satellite Pro L20 PSL25E - Display driver required

  Hello

  I'm looking for a new display driver for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, model No. PSL25E. I can't find this driver on toshiba.com.

  Hello

  You have an Intel graphics card?

  Well, try to use and to install the graphics driver on the Intel site.

  If you will not be able to install it by running setup.exe, then try to reinstall the driver through the Device Manager.
  Here, you can select the graphic card and choose Update driver
  Use the advanced procedure, and then point to files of driver that you downloaded from the Intel page.

  Generally, the installation should functions that it worked on my system too.

• Satellite Pro L20 - need keyboard driver

  Hello world

  Just need help to find a keyboard driver Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, I re-installed windows as my hard drive crashed and as was a second hand laptop he didn t come with recovery disks.
  I downloaded every other player wireless, screen, sound, touch pad batch but I really struggle to find a m keyboard driver.

  My laptop at the moment alone will keyboard type with the weird key, others do not work at all I use a plug to the keyboard for the time being, not very mobile.
  Any help would be appreciated most.

  Kind regards
  Dave

  Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read my problem.

  Akuma is right. You should not install driver for keyboard functionality. Used keyboard driver Microsoft standard included in the operating system Windows XP Home/Vista edition.
  So if some buttons do not work, there may be a problem with the keyboard itself and you need to replace.

  Hello

  the problem is that we use the Fn + F5 key on the laptop to scroll the screen option (two screens or not) but nothing happens, it seems that it does not meet our request. and the projector read no source found. Some days she turns on automatically, but when it doesn't. We are stuck, I tried to look into the display properties, but nothing here to try n force both screens light up. Help

  Hello

  Also try switching to the external device settings Intel. You can find it under Advanced display settings. I also recommend you to reinstall the TOSHIBA utilities. I'm not 100% sure but it may be responsible for the function FN + F5.

  Also check Toshiba HWSetup under the view tab. Activate LCD + analog RGB option.

• Satellite Pro L20: Wireless connection is not reliable

  Hello

  We have some Toshiba laptops in the office.

  However, the wireless on our most recent purchase (Satellite Pro L20) installation is very reliable. Periodically he loses sight of the network without apparent reason.

  We have the device permanently connected, and the problem can occur even when the machine is in the middle of copying files to and from the network server.

  The actual wireless access point is within a few feet of distance (in view), so I can't imagine there is a problem of signal strength. Can anyone offer me any guidance?

  I don't know where to start on this one there...

  TIA

• Satellite Pro A100 - CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS

  Can Hi anyone tell me what is wrong with this laptop?

  The problem is im using my DVD - ROM drive and it stops working. I went into Device Manager and it wasn't there and it was not in my list of drives. I went and checked the BIOS, it is not listed there either and the BIOS pick up all get them is check the cable or the conection.

  Would be grateful if some knows what happened or if my hard drive is gone.

  Thank you

  Hello

  If the CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Device Manager and BIOS, it seems to be defective and must be replaced.
  What do you think about this?

  You can exchange the car yourself. Check for a compatible CD/DVD Player user manual or go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can order a new drive to swap.

  Sorry, but if the drive is not listed in the BIOS seems to be defective.

• Satellite Pro A10 - CD/DVD drive - updated?

  I have an A10 and a few remnants of the A15 which I cannibalise the parts.
  The A10 has DVD playback only, while the A15 motorway had features of reading / writing DVD.

  Desperately the A10 BIOS does not recognize the A15 CD/DVD drive.
  Anyone know if it is possible to obtain this recognition - could I swap chips BIOS with the A15 for example?

  This machine is my toy and I have it running with a Pentium 4 M 2.4 GHz and 1 GB of ram (frustrating it does not accept the sticks of 1 GB!).

  It's a gift so if I break, well I'll be sad - but not heart broken...

  Hello
  You can only use the BIOS that came out for the Satellite Pro A10 series and which is available on the Toshiba page.

  But why you n t use a CD/DVD drive that is compatible with the model Satellite Pro A10?
  The manual provides details on supported devices.
  I found the user manual [here: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/userman-en-20090121085356.zip]

  On page 4-7 you will find info on the STRANGE devices supported by Pro A10
  -TEAC CD-224th CD-ROM drive
  -DW-224th drive TEAC CD-RW/DVD-ROM
  -Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-C2612

  -DVD-R /-RW drive SD-R6012
  -Hitachi drive of DVD - ROM RDA-8082
  -Player Panasonic UJDA-740/750 CD/RW/DVD-ROM

  Hope that the list could be useful.

• How to use Recovery on satellite Pro L10 with DVD drive broken?

  Hello...

  I have a satellite Pro L10, which is virused. I need to recover Windows. Unfortunately, I can not, because the CD/DVD drive is borked.

  I tried everything until and including the purchase of a laptop adapter HD, but my desktop computer is not a Toshiba so he does not have the recovery disk.

  I've never had to use a "recovery disk" before, so I have no idea how it works - apparently there should be a folder on my hard drive recovery? can someone tell me where I could find it? (I'm quite familiar with the innards of my installation of Windows and have never noticed before). Also, is it possible that this native recovery file has been compromised by my virus?

  Default: can it be fixed using an installation of LAN, and if so, could someone point me to instructions? (My BIOS allows booting from LAN, but not USB, which is irritating).

  Any other suggestions would be welcome.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First of all you will not be able to use the Toshiba Recovery disk if you cannot use the CD/DVD drive.
  Why? Because you need to boot from the CD of recovery if you want to install windows from the CD from Toshiba.

  You ask how to boot from LAN?
  Well friend; I doubt that you will be able to do.
  First of all that this could be possible only if you have a RIS server.
  The Remote Installation Services can be installed optionally on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008.

  It's really complicated and not easy for someone who has never done.
  If you want you can google a little how to create REEFS but in my opinion it s advisable to buy and compatible CD/DVD drive because the STRANGE can also be used for other purposes

  Hello

  you mean that the external hard drive does not work too? Some software blocking your disks?

  I think that the best way to check if your internal drive still works would try to start with a bootable CD (perhaps with a live linux distribution on it) and to try this with the external hard drive also.

  If you're really a software that prevents the drive work properly, then you should recover your machine with the recovery media to make the drive work again properly.

  See you soon
