• Satellite Pro L20 USB ports no longer work

  Hello

  A little bit ago, I experienced a few problems with my Satellite Pro L20. After he brought to life, I found out that the USB ports no longer work.

  Things I've tried so far:

  Reinstall the chipset drivers
  Update the BIOS.
  Ensure USB is enabled in BIOS
  Uninstall and reinstall the USB controllers via the Device Manager.

  

  The USB ports no longer work and I ran out of things to try. Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hello

  If possible, try to install the operating system with recovery media. On this way, you will have to factory settings. It's the best test you can do. If the problem persists, it may be a malfunction of the equipment. Sorry but on this path is not easy to tell what the problem may be.

• 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.

  There is no big difference in General.
  What you should check are available ports. Make sure that both models have exact same ports and port openings.

• 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 L20-212 - USB 2.0 does not work

  Hello

  I own a * Satellite Pro L20-212 *, * Windows XP (SP2) is installed, but USB2.0 does not work *. I see nothing on USB 2.0 in the Devicemanager and the speed of the USB 2.0 devices attached is at the level of the USB 1.1.

  I don't know what information is needed to help me with this problem as it should normally work on my laptop (and I know that the laptop has USB 2.0 ports).

  What I have to install a special driver to use USB2.0 or is there any software on my laptop that I need to activate?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Did you install the image on the Toshiba Recovery CD? This image contains the Windows operating system, Toshiba drivers and additional utilities. After installation, everything should work fine, and also the USB ports should work also.

  The USP ports, you can find in Device Manager in the serial BUS controller universal section. Open the tree and check if there is some yellow exclamation points.
  Then try to remove the Device Manager, the controllers and the USB hub and restart the laptop. After restarting again the OS should recognize USB controllers deleted again.

  I hope that this accelerated procedure will help you.

• 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

• 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.

  Bye and 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

  Hello

  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.

• 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 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?

• Satellite Pro L20 PSL25E - need details

  I just bought the laptop above flea market. I have

• 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 - typed keys missing

  We have about 20 laptops, Satellite PRO L20 (model No. PSL2YE-00H00EG3), and all have this problem): keyboard missing from time to time a key is pressed. All keys are affected and the question is very worrying, given that you can have a miss every 20 letters typed.

  We have tried to update the BIOS to version 1.5 to version 1.8, but we had no success.

  Any help would be appreciated.
  Thank you
  Bogdan

  Hello

  You said that this problem occurs from time to time. In this case, it would be possible that some 3rd applications have a bad influence on this keyboard as described in this announcement.

  You also suggested that you tried to upgrade the BIOS. Did you, or was it just a tent?

• 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

  Max

  [Edited by: admin January 21 06 10:42]

  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
