• Satellite Pro L20: 37, 5 GB on the disk instead of 40 GB?

  I bought a satellite pro l20, which is supposed to have a 40 GB hard drive, but there only a hard drive Go 37.5. is there any reason its slightly smaller than its supposed to be?

  Hi Matt,

  The capacity of your hard drive is usually quoted as 40 GB because the actual capacity is measured in bytes. For GB 37.5, this would be equivalent to 37.5 X 1024 X 1024, which gives a figure of 39,321,600 (usually quoted as 40 GB).

  I use a 80 GB hard drive in my SA30 and gives a total output of 76,29 GB.

  It's just the way the hard drive industry cites the ability of their readers. :-)

  Kind regards

• 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 L300-1AQ only to charge the battery while the phone is in use

  I have a Toshiba SP L300-1AQ.

  In the last month we started having problems with it quit unexpectedly, even on power outlet.
  This morning I used it for about a half hour. When I started the battery level was 39% full, so I plugged it into the outlet. The fire area on the front of the laptop came and taskbar in Windows icon showed it was plugged and load (battery light was orange).

  After half an hour, I checked the battery and it was down to 16%. I turned down the brightness of the screen to try to reduce energy consumption, but less than a minute at the level of the battery was down to 15%. The toolbar icon and power lights both still power showing tasks. The power adapter was cold to the touch. I expect that it is hot. It seems to me that the power adapter does not provide enough power to run the laptop and recharge the battery. If the laptop is in sleep mode, the battery may charge.

  We need a new power adapter?

  Thank you

  Nigel

  Hello

  It's really hard to say what the reason is but first of all, I think its hardware problem and not software related.
  Maybe the card mother doesn t charge battery problem more or the AC/DC adapter is defective. So can you test another adapter AC/DC to a friend for example? It would be interesting to know because if an AC/DC adapter works it seems to be a problem with the motherboard.

  I don t have Satellite Pro L300, I only Satellite L300 but it works really well and I can t notice a problem with the battery charging. It s all ok again :)

• 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 L20-184: 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.

  Good bye

• 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 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

  This new optical disk drive is compatible with this model of laptop?

• 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 - 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

• 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!
