• Satellite Pro L20 - replacing the screen

  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.

  Hello

  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.
  On eBay you can find many parts for Toshiba laptop, so check it out. With a little luck, you can find cheap display there.

• Satellite Pro L20 with a screen very very dark!

  Help me!

  I have a L20 Pro Sam last week and it worked very well. Now when I turn on the screen is very very dark. About, I can do on the Windows logo when it loads, but I can't seem to make it bright again. When I plug in an external monitor it doesn't have this effect on the external monitor - some help please!

  Hello

  I agree with Tom, I would also say that there is something wrong with the Fl inverter or with the tube FL. well, is the only way to solve the problem is to replace the broken parts. In this case, you will need to contact Toshiba service in your country.

• Restart the problem after booting on Satellite Pro L20 - approx. 4 seconds

  I have a toshiba satellite pro l20 series and it worked fine until yesterday.
  the problem is that it restarts... Well actually, he stops in about 4 seconds after the start, remains closed for 1 or 2 seconds and then again
  same problem occurs with or without the battery.
  all I see is the Toshiba logo. I can enter the bios and when in the bios it does not stop.
  When I get out of the bios, saving the changes he stops. and then begins by itsself after 2 seconds.
  Please help me... How can I fix?

  Hello

  If the laptop goes through the Toshiba logo then maybe there is just something wrong with the software.
  In this case, the first step should be again install the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  Put the CD in the drive and try to boot from the CD.
  After installation, all should work properly.
  If it's not, so I guess there is a serious problem and service guys should check the laptop.

• 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 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: Showing empty after waking up from hibernation

  I've had my laptop Satellite Pro L20 a year now and it has been slowing recently, especially when starting after being in hibernation mode.

  It is even now not return back. I had placed it in hibernation, and then when I tried to turn it on again, it hummed as if it was put into service, but the screen remains blank.

  I don't think that he is in communication with the rest of the laptop. I tried to restart it several times but I still can't out of his inactive hibernation mode and the monitor simply unresponsive.

  Any help would be appreciated kindly!

  Hello

  > I've had my laptop Satellite Pro L20 a year now and it has been slowing recently,.
  Maybe you should clean the HARD drive and also use defragmentation application to optimize the data saved on the HARD drive.

  Back to your problem: I don't know if this will help, but you can try to do the BIOS update or install the latest driver from Toshiba support page display.

• 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.

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro L20 - Fuction key does not

  Hello

  I have a satellite Pro L20 running xp pro. We use at the school, connected to a projector to display on the screen for children to see.

  the problem is that we use the Fn + F5 key on the laptop to scroll the screen option (two screens or not) but nothing happens, it seems that it does not meet our request. and the projector read no source found. Some days she turns on automatically, but when it doesn't. We are stuck, I tried to look into the display properties, but nothing here to try n force both screens light up. Help

  Hello

  Also try switching to the external device settings Intel. You can find it under Advanced display settings. I also recommend you to reinstall the TOSHIBA utilities. I'm not 100% sure but it may be responsible for the function FN + F5.

  Also check Toshiba HWSetup under the view tab. Activate LCD + analog RGB option.

• Satellite Pro L20 charge query

  Hi, have a Satellite Pro L20. LED on the front of the laptop shows full battery (LED is green), "feed icon" on the screen shows the battery with virtually no load (16%), unit said "Recharge" but "%" battery does not increase.
  When I remove the charger, battery falls '&' as the battery discharges. All clever people out there with any ideas?
  Thanks in advance.

  Hey,.

  If you already tried different batteries, it appears to be a malfunction of the loading/control unit on the motherboard itself.

  I think this case you can do anything and you need professional help of an authorized service provider. Guys can check your laptop and solve this problem.

• 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.

• Satellite Pro L20: Headphone port crackling noice at startup

  Hello

  I'm a uniform crackling noise that I've isolated to the headphone jack (green) of my Satellite Pro L20, who is just coming (2 days) for his first birthday, running XP Pro SP2 with all updates installed and no apparent driver problem.

  This noise occurs without any sound applications to startup and running, namely when you tilt the computer and Windows loads or when you get back to windows after hibernation. If I plug headphones in this port, of course, the sound is removed. All audio applications seems to work OK (for example Windows Sound, iTunes, Etc.) and so it's disconcerting.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  During the operating system boot process Windows uses a standard, stored audio file on the HARD drive.
  This audio file can be disabled, or you can choose another.
  This can be done in the control panel-> sound and audio devices-> Audio tab

  Choose Start Windows box program of events and check if audio windows xp demarrage.wav the file plays without crackling noise.
  If crackling noise appears then I assume that this file is corrupted.

  You can also choose another file wav for this event or you can simply choose no and no sound will appear during the Windows startup process.
