• 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

  Hello

  Usually battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. If high performance applications run on the laptop, the battery working time breaks down.

  If I understand correctly, the laptop and the battery is abut 2 years old.
  To my knowledge after about 500 charge/discharge procedures time decrease the battery performance.
  My laptop is about 3 years old and I can use my battery for about 20-30 minutes also.
  My second Notebook battery died completely. I use this laptop only with the AC adapter / CC. In my opinion is nothing unusual.

  You can compare this situation to battery for laptop with mobile phone batteries.
  After several times that it of necessary to replace the battery.

• Satellite Pro L20 - recovery utility hangs and does not complete

  Hello.

  I've been running my L20 Pro Satellite for two years now, quite happy. Unfortunately, in the last 3 months, he began to misbehave. The startup time stretched to 5-10 minutes by that I mean time spent in "black" screen between the initials XP boot logo and the bright blue splash screen Windows. Playing sound/media crackled and stuttered badly through the loudspeaker. So, being reasonable technical, I've read various articles forum tried MSCONFIG tweaks here and there, removed all viruses etc... Nothing helps.

  I began to suspect a HARD drive problem. CHKDSK has not shown any errors. I finally resolved to back up my data and attempt a complete recovery. (Virgin!)

  Unfortunately, this is going to plan. medium 90% up to the end of the NVA Toshiba Recovery Utility 1.0.1.0 I think, started making subtle beeps and stopped on the 'X:\03596002 '. File of the GHS. The Green HARD-drive activity light has renounced his reassuring twinkling. Nothing.

  Any suggestions tips out there? I am currently in the State where he can not start (no NTLDR found).

  Help.

  Thank you.

• 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.

• Satellite Pro L20 - looking for a better battery

  Hello
  You just bought a Satellite Pro L20, am a little disappointed at the time of the battery, I was wondering where to find the best/most long duration batteries for it, if there is such a thing?

  See you soon

  Hello

  Well, battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. The use of the high-performance notebook reduces the battery working time.
  In addition, you should check the watch tool Toshiba. There are different modes of battery that you can use. The right mode increases battery working time.

  Good bye

• Cannot charge battery on my Satellite Pro L20

  I have a satellite Pro L20 and I can't charge my battery why? Is there someone for help please?

  Hello

  Why? It is not easy to say, but it may be because of the faulty electronic power.

  Remove the battery, connect the laptop to the power adapter and switch it on. When the operating system starts, put the battery inside and let us know exactly what is happening.

  It will be interesting to know if the battery is correctly recognized and what's with battery LED.

• Satellite Pro L20 and DVD drive upgrade

  Hi all, starting at this forum.

  Satellite Pro L20

  I just upgraded the drive cd - rw to a dvd - rw drive. The drive came a host of work so it s in full working order. The drive is not recognized as a DVD player, but works like a cd - rw. Update the BIOS of the Toshiba site gives an error once decompressed.
  Does anyone know what I need to do to get it work correctly?

  Thanks for your help

• 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
  Chris

  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.

• Upgrade memory for Satellite Pro L20

  I use a satellite L20 pro - PSL25E. That this PSL25E means in terms of satellite pro L20 - 102 until xxx. On the support site to keep just the numbers but not this alphanumeric expression. I need this in order to select the upgrade module suitable.
  If this can be answered, could someone tell me which module to upgrade should I choose in addition to the existing 512 MB?
  Thanks in advance

  Klator

  It of nice that you have found the laptop model after your own investigation.
  However, in my opinion the portable Satellite Pro L20 all support the same kind of memory, if it s L20-259 Pro or Pro L20-174

  The units are supported on these modules:
  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)

• Satellite Pro A10 CPU upgrade possible? Which processors?

  Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite Pro A10 CPU? What processors are supported?

  Hello

  Usually the CPU upgrade is not possible on laptops because of several reasons.
  But as far as I know that this camera was supplied with three different processors:
  Intel Celeron P4 - M (Mobile) 2.0 GHz, 2.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz
  Well, I put t know if the CPU was only connected or soldered onto the motherboard.

  However, it s not advisable to change the CPU. It is possible that after CPU change the laptop overheating for example.

• 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

• 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!

• Satellite Pro L20 would not publish.

  I received a Satellite Pro L20 who had probably overheated (was running with contribution covered and turns off for good).

  So far I had removed everything and mobo appears intact. I had allowed cmos and disconnected the battery, reinstall CPU (tested ot in a separate mobile - good) and I tried to start the internal/external screen with no effect. It starts well, fan turns and responds to the shortcut keys / deals with optical and hard drive but gives no video output. I can't test the ddr2 memory as the other laptop is ddr.

  Is there a way to test the video output somehow? F5 (with connected external monitor) several attempts but don't know if he responded to it at all. It responds to the reset / wireless, powers down and changes corresponding s LED but gives without being eps either. And Board of Directors has no led indicator. Powering with F12 does nothing. And there is a clicking noise when you start (with headphones).

  Any ideas would be very welcome.

  P.S. The profanity? At least mark what you think, it's blasphemy - spend 10 minutes to make it messy and get what abbriviation consider you profanity...

  You already have thougt that the motherboard could be defective? I mean the machine give some answers but it won´t come up anyway. It could be:

  -Defective RAM
  -overheaten CPU
  -some resistance or capacitor on the map
  -Perhaps that you have forgotten something or some metals inside the machine fold which causes some short circuit (there was already this case a few weeks ago here in the forum, the guy disassembled the machine again and discovered that some metal shielding of the base that was turn during reassembly of the laptop.) It caused a brief signs and come the didn t machine..)
  -a faulty device (such as HDD, modem, keyboard, mouse, and any other PCB) which translates the non bootable.

  Check the machine carefully (maybe it would be good to take it apart again), so if the machine after checking the won´t happen then you should give the machine to a toshiba technician. Maybe he knows better?

  See you soon
