Satellite Pro L20: How resoulution on TV screen

Hello.

I just bought a Toshiba 32 "screen flat tv and want out of my Pro L20 to it. I had wired-up and it works because it shows what is on the laptop, TV, however, my laptop is not a screen but my TV is.

This means that when I dipslay on the TV, the image is stretched, which makes the text and other things appear blurry. I can change the format of the 4:3 TV and it works fine, except that I get those black bars on the side of the screen.

Is there a way out of implementation so that the laptop in a screen resolution adapted for television?

The laptop graphics card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 200 M series.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I think it's the same situation with TV stations. If the broadcast station shows movies in 16:9 format it looks perfect, but if they use standard 4:3 TV stretch automatically picture.

I'm not familiar with MS L20, but if you can't find any setting under properties of ATI card I fear there is nothing to do.

    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.

    Hi all

    My L20 Pro Satt needs a new screen and I am unable to find a screen with number of part corresponding to mine.

    Can anyone provide me with the other part numbers that would fit mine.

    I found only a display for a Satellite L25 Pro but I guess that the two devices are very similar and use the same part of the screen.
    The display part number is K000000620 and it s a 15 XGA 1024 x 768 display.

    I just got my new laptop and I am supposed to have XP Pro when everything is on my laptop is Microsoft Note.

    I agree with Miro. Microsoft Office is not preinstalled on the recovery CD and not on laptops. I think that you have mixed it with Microsoft Office OneNote. It? s not the same program as MS Office.

  • Satellite Pro L20 hangs on XP splash screen

    I have a new laptop as described above.

    But when I try to start it it hangs on the splash screen XP with the bar/indicator State etc..

    I tried using the recovery of product, pressing f12 annoys me in the multiboot screen, with the options disk hard, cd/dvd, floppy etc. but my keyboard does not allow me to go upwards or downwards or press 2.

    Is there something really wrong here, or am I a doughnut. Also sometimes it brings to the top of the black screen indicating "recovered from a fatal error" select startup mode. But won't let me choose the mode without failure or last known working only start them windows normally.

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Hello

    Regarding the description of your problem, you are not able to boot into the Windows operating system. The laptop hangs on the XP screen and starts the operating system. Am I wrong?

    Have you tried to access the BIOS?
    The laptop must support a Phoenix BIOS, and so you should try to press F2 to access the BIOS. He tries to change the boot order and try recovery of notebooks OS since the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    Try reinstalling the operating system. If it does not work, you should contact the ASP for the control of the laptop. As you say, it is a new laptop and everything should work fine.
    The guarantee must cover all checks and replacements of equipment.

    Good luck

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 and it has a cracked screen.

    Can I put any brand screen inside? Or should it be a special type?

    It's a 15-inch screen, so as long as I don't have the same size, it should go all right in I guess.

    Any help would be good.

    I'm no technician but and I don't know if all the screens have a universal connector. So if possible try to visualize for laptop L20 to ensure the connector will be the right one.

  • 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 - 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 L20-164 will not launch

    Satellite Pro L20 - 164 running Windows XP. Get the initial window (press F2/F12) then just a white screen.
    Any help welcome.

    Hello

    You mean that you cannot access the BIOS?
    Usually by pressing F2 should lead you to the BIOS settings.
    If this is not possible, then a problem of BIOS/motherboard might be reason for that

    You are able to boot from the CD?
    You can boot from CD by pressing C or F12. By pressing F12 should allow a start on the screen menu. Then you could choose ODD as a boot device.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - RAM runs with low speed

    Dear reader,

    I've recently updated my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 to 2 GB, DDR2 667 mhz (Corsair ValueSelect) RAM because the old 512 MB of ram would not cut it anymore with all these processes.
    Now, when I check my speed of ram with CPU - Z it says 200 mhz, whereas it should be at 333 mhz. I checked the chipset (Radeon Xpress 200 m) to ensure compatibility and it is compatible with ram to 667 mhz.

    Additional features:
    Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 - PSL2YE-005009DU
    Windows XP Pro SP3
    Intel Celeron M360 1.4 ghz
    2 GB DDR2 667 Mhz
    Radeon Xpress 200 m chipset

    Now to clarify my question. I would run my ram at 333 mhz for many reasons, because if it is not I had been better to buy cheaper, slower RAM.
    How can I use it, I can't access the bios to fix this, how can I access/derivation of the locked bios?

    If you need more info just tell me.

    Kind regards
    Patrick Bos.

    Hello

    Perhaps CPU - Z isn't read correctly... Who knows?

    Also maybe the RAM modules are perhaps not compatible to run at 667 MHz speed. I n t have experience with Corsair Value Select modules

    Last but not least, you can do nothing. There is no option of BIOS or something, where you can change it. In addition this speed of RAM will not bring a solid performance gain.

    By the way: did you check the speed of your old modules?

  • 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.
