Satellite Pro L20: Command button on TouchPad collapsed

I visited two other flaws with my laptop in other posts, compared to those, it's very minor but its still very annoying:

The command button left TouchPad on my laptop, usually evenly supported by the bottom, seems to have given way to one side, so that it does not work with the same action of spring on one side of the left key. It wobbles like a tooth loose.

It's this kind of problem easily solved? Until I get a USB mouse, I'm stuck with the TouchPad, but his persistent plastic surfaces scratching against the other is infuriating!

Your ad just brief comment: I noticed that the quality of the buttons of the mouse on laptops is not the same. On my Tecra, it is really perfect and pressure on any point will give the same result, but on laptops of low budget, like the series L, it is not the case.

I know it's pretty annoying, but unfortunately there is nothing to do. Because of this, the use of external mouse is reasonable.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - right button on the touchpad does not work

    I have a Sat Pro L20.
    When I press the right button on the touchpad, nothing happens. The left button works fine.
    I checked the properties of the mouse left button is set as the main click with the right button, defined as the secondary click.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Maybe the touchpad button has a physical malfunction.
    But first of all, you can try to reinstall the driver for the touchpad. Check if the resettlement will change something. But the truth; I don t think this will solve the problem. Anyway, try is free, you know.

    But if that does not help so I think you need to replace the touchpad.

  • Satellite Pro L20 does not illuminate

    Hope you can help. We have a 5 years satellite pro L20 who never gave a lot of days. It runs from Win XP, had an upgrade (crucial) memory to 2 GB and a new battery 4 years ago 4 years ago. 2 days ago, he simply left with the same noise you get when force a shutdown by holding the power button down. I tried to boot with no battery, just the sector and only on a charged battery. All to nothing does not.

    I then read the button of power with the battery and removed sector I did after leaving it overnight. When I replaced the battery it started as usual and lasted 30 seconds before turning off again, and then he was dead. I have tried all combinations with the ram up to 1 stick or kidnapped and attempted to get the bios with the HDD outside as well. Still nothing.

    I noticed that when I put the battery in 2 of the 3 flashes briefly, and now the button of pwer while pushing the battery causes a brief start 4 seconds.

    Any ideas as to what this may be? I suspect that the hardware and software. Also, I tried a different power adapter, once again no results. It stays just off.

    Thanks for any help...

    Hello

    I'm afraid it looks like a serious m hardware problem
    My first idea was a malfunction of the RAM in such a case, you could replace and test the memory, but it seems that you have already tried

    In my view there s something wrong with a motherboard or a part on the motherboard :(
    In this case I n t think a replacement of the motherboard would be useful since this part is very expensive

  • Satellite Pro L20 - broken cover - part order

    I have a portable satellite Pro L20 for 4 years since 2006.

    I must say that the quality of Toshiba is good.
    Over the past 4 years I have no problem with this laptop. Recently and finally my front cover of the laptop decompose.

    When I am looking for repair service, I find Toshiba after sell service is terrible.
    I have to pay fees to order the part for my Satellite Pro L20. It takes more that a week simply to find out if there are some available; If there is no available room that the deposit is not not refundable, even receiving me has suggested seek third party repair center to get my laptop fixed to avoid any risk.

    If you may upgrade your lap top in 2 or 3 years, Toshiba is good.
    If you want to use this computer more than 3 years and have limited warranty coverage try another provider, because Toshiba might tell you they don't have the parts of your computer.

    You can like me have to take the risk of paying the first deposit and never get that money back.

    Hello

    I paid only for my keyboard and it was ok!

    Satellite Pro L20 - DOS based Flash BIOS?
    Anyone know where I can download this?

    The BIOS download page gives you only the Winflash & I need to Flash this laptop backpack... are installed Safeboot in NHS policy & I'm now stuck on the keyboard & touchpad, have you tried a USB keyboard without success.

    SafeBoot is a disk encryption package which initializes windows to start so I am unable to use Winflash.
    May need to find an operating system on a bootable CD if this based BACK Flash BIOS is not found...

    Hello

    Unfortunately the BIOS from the base of BACK is not available on the European driver Toshiba page and so you will not be able to download it.

    I m not very good if it would be possible, but perhaps a local ASP may be able to provide this version of BIOS Just contact the guy and just ask

    But in my opinion it s advisable to Flash the BIOS using a Win version because it s much safer.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - overheating of the power cable

    Hello

    For several months, I had problems with the keys suddenly works intermittently. Although brushing under the keys with a toothbrush relieved the problem for awhile it obviously was not the main cause. Each time, so not attributable to each of the keys of damaged to different keys.

    When unplugging the power cable from the metal part is very hot, and I worked on the problem of keys occurs only when the computer is running on a/c AND the battery is fully charged. In other words, no problem on the battery or recharging. The adapter is also hot, but guess that's 'normal '.

    The power cable has been tested directly from another outlet and not ongoing execution of the usual belkin surge protector, external sources seem so plotted on. I tried to find another cable/adapter to test but living very rural location of doubt this will be possible or practical.

    The fan seems to work OK, the air coming out of the side is very hot. It does not appear to be clogged with dust. Also, the area of the laptop above the fan heats up.

    Sometimes the computer crashes on black or blue screen (on iplayer lately, maybe other progs too) but the noise continues. I turned off by pressing the button for 5 seconds, but he still works for a while. I guess from overheating. But not some of it is always on a/c-do not charge, it may be on a/c-charge as well.

    Sometimes the computer seems confused if he is re-load, on a/c or battery. At least the icon switches and requires a session to unplug the device before doing things.

    Other times it is the machine of Angel since last two years! It's a Satellite Pro L20, the adapter's clover LiteOn 65W, 19V 3. 42 a. part PA3396E-1ACA (what I see is no longer available).

    Searched through but not found any similar problem, but hope someone can advise me what to do next!
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Robin

    It doesn't sound good. According to the specifications of the laptop, you have the right AC adapter. In my opinion you should contact the partner of service authorized in your country. Make a call and I hope they can help you how to handle this issue.

    It is also possible that they can send you new power adapter. Make a call and explain the situation. If you have need for addresses and phone numbers you can find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

  • 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.

  • Driver LAN for Satellite Pro L20 Windows 2000

    I am looking for a local network (ethernet) drive to my Satellite Pro L20, who has Windows 2000 on it.
    I found one for WiFi, but not for the Ethernet (cable/CAT).

    Hello

    Well, you can t find all the LAN for Win2000 drivers on the Toshiba page because this unit has been delivered and tested with the Windows Xp operating system.
    However, I found the information that the appliance has a CL LAN Realtek 8100.
    In this case, I guess for visit the site Web of Realtek. You can find a compatible driver for this network adapter.

  • What recovery CD to use with Satellite Pro L20?

    We have several Toshiba laptops in use in our society. I need to restore a (a Satellite Pro L20) to factory settings. However, although I have kept all the recovery CD, most of them have labels which do not mention which model they are intended to be used on. On some of them I wrote the model number on the label by hand, but I did not do that for the L20. I know from experience that if I receive the wrong recovery CD, I have to put dozens of drivers and utilities individually, in order to find the right one would save me a lot of time and stress.

    Each recovery CD has a number (for example GMR400626EN1), so it should be possible to identify the good CD of it, but I can't find the info on the Toshiba web site.

    Is there a list that corresponds to the reference numbers for the models of laptop recovery CD?

    Hello

    This info is certainly not available on the Toshiba support site. What you can try is to contact the partner of service authorized in your country. They have access to the database of Toshiba and I'm sure they can help you.

    If you need addresses and phone numbers please check https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support & downloads search for an ASP.

  • The Satellite Pro L20 L25 the same case?

    Fit cover laptop of Satellite Pro L20 to L25 Pro Satellite motherboard?

    I can't say for sure, but I think so.
    I guess L20 is European and WE must have a model L25.

    What you should check are available ports. Make sure that both models have exact same ports and port openings.

  • 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

  • Satellite Pro L20 goes wrong with i.f. audio Fast Track USB

    Hello!

    I used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had any problems with it. I could put a low latency and I did a few songs with him.

    Yesterday, I bought another laptop, thinking of recording studio at home. He used the Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It does not work with my interface. When I listen to music on Winamp or anything on Fruity Loops, I hear strong clicks, pop, noise. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback, or after a sample is stopped.

    I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba more? The only chipset drivers are old, and you can download em only from site Web from Toshiba. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200 M. Its pilots are with the graphics card. Recently I noticed that you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - card mother/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK to make it possible to install on a mobile device like the L20. Yep it's funny, but its impossible to do otherwise!

    things that I have tried and they have still not help:
    replacement of drivers #, original were released in 2004. I installed the version.
    driver settings #, low latency, high latency
    # asio and different settings
    pluging # USB interface to another.
    # try what happens when I use the battery and when to use the adapter
    # update BIOS
    # off units such as wifi, card sound card on board
    # checked IRQ list

    persistent organic pollutants will always appear.

    my config:

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
    Win XP Home SP3
    Celeron M 1, 5 GHz
    896 MB of ram
    M - Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2

    Kind regards

    Initially, I wonder that you use old notebook L20 now. You have no more L40?

    You must understand that the Satellite Pro L20 is older model laptop and also not the best choice for such operations. This laptop is probably designed for simpler day-to-day operations such as the internet, e-mail, office, a little bit of multimedia and that s all the.

    I don't mean good old classic doesn't work with your external device, but you will be lucky if someone has the same external device and the same model of laptop and write about their own experiences.

    Do you use factory settings or you have installed the own operating system?

  • What is the fastest processor, I could put in Satellite Pro L20

    It is a desperate help request!

    Football Manager 2010 will come out soon and my laptop should be at the height.
    I know that I need to upgrade because Football Manager 2009 almost killed it!

    At the moment I have Intel Celeron M 1.4ghz and 704 MB ram chip.

    What is the song the fastest I could put in that? I did some research and found that I have only 2 GB of ram

    The laptop is in perfect working order, so I don't want to buy a new one, just for fun he and its served me well over the last 4 years - I dropped it enough times! Just need to speed up a bit!

    Hmm... You want really old enough Satellite Pro L20? I mean new laptops are more so expensive and I doubt that you will get a solid performance with the new CPU gain.

    Anyway, in your notebook is only the preinstalled CPU pre-tested and nobody is able to say what other s CPU will run. But you should look on the specifications for other laptops Satellite Pro L20. If an another L20 is equipped with a faster processor, it should also work in yours. You can try it, but in the worst case, it will not work.

    Good luck!
