Satellite Pro L20-PSL25E - CPU upgrade question

Hello

I upgraded the ram last year and im running high-performance for my model, 2.0 GB.

This really helped for awhile, but after a few heavy programs have been installed this year (only one software, one game) ive noticed it running slow as before, its worth noting that my computer has adopted all the necessary specifications for both outside the game where im working on 1.7 ghz and it needs the least 2.0 ghz processor , and I'm short on speed slowest peformance of the game itself.

The vehicle has currently a centrino pentium, keeping in mind a new portable computer is not in my budget, is it worth getting a new processor and which would be best?

Thanks again, Rebecca.

Hello

My personal opinion is that Satellite L20 is not designed for heavy operations and is certainly not game machine. If you compare the price of Satellite and Satellite L laptops you'll understand why. I'm sure that this laptop is designed for Internet, office and simple every day activities.

Upgrading RAM is very good and I'm sure it helps a lot but CPU upgrade is not the solution. Update CPU is not supported. You must also understand that each hardware platform is designed for optimal physical activity. Processor, graphics, cooling system and other hardware components must work without overheating and harmonic. Stronger CPU means more heat.

In my opinion you should optimize operating system preinstalled software hoping you use will work better and more stable.

  • Satellite Pro L20 PSL25E - where can I find the driver WLan?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 - PSL25E 00G019GR and I am trying to install the wireless card.
    Where can I get the software/driver?
    I can't find these (for Windows XP) in the download area.

    The wireless device is turned on, but I don't see the icon in the network environment.
    So, what should I do?

    Thanks for your help.

    Michael

    > The wireless device is turned on, but I don't see the icon in the network environment.
    Are you sure that the laptop is equipped with wireless network card?

    AFAIK the L20 Pro Sam is an older model laptop and L20 not all were equipped with internal WLan module even if the WLan switch is available.

    You should check if the wireless network adapter is listed in the device under network adapters Manager.

  • Satellite Pro L20 PSL25E - Display driver required

    Hello

    I'm looking for a new display driver for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, model No. PSL25E. I can't find this driver on toshiba.com.

    Right now I use Version 6.14.10.4332 of Mobile Intel (r) 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family.

    The problem occurs when you use opensource-progs like GIMP.

    After a few minutes, the display switches gray while the laptop is still working?

    Does anyone have the same problem or an idea how I can fix this problem? Thank you.

    Micha

    Hello

    You have an Intel graphics card?

    Well, try to use and to install the graphics driver on the Intel site.

    If you will not be able to install it by running setup.exe, then try to reinstall the driver through the Device Manager.
    Here, you can select the graphic card and choose Update driver
    Use the advanced procedure, and then point to files of driver that you downloaded from the Intel page.

    Generally, the installation should functions that it worked on my system too.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A100 - PSAAAE CPU upgrade

    Hi Toshiba,

    I have an old * Satellite Pro A100 * _PSAAAE-type_ and I would like to upgrade the processor. I have seen that is 479, and I found that there are the Core 2 Duo on this plug. The 945GM chipset supports Core 2 Duo, but I don't know if my laptop BIOS supports these CPU.

    Someone can confirm or not?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In General, upgrading the CPU is not recommended.
    Of course, you can use the processors that are supported by the chipset, but the BIOS compatibility is another story. No one can tell if your laptop would be stable after this upgrade due to the higher heat dissipation.

    But I read in this forum that some guys have upgraded the processor and the laptop still works

  • Satellite Pro A100-830 - HDD upgrade questions

    I'm a complete noob so please forgive my silly question!

    I would like to replace my laptop HARD drive, is there any combatibilty issues I should be aware of, or is it just a case of getting a HARD drive 2.5 "?

    Is it easy to buy an external and use the internal drive inside the case?

    This seems to be the best way to the value of doing. Specific recommendations?
    Thank you!

    Hi magicmat,

    Generally upgrade the HARD drive is not complicated, and that's why you only have to remove the cover of the HARD drive on the lower side of your laptop to replace the HARD drive.

    Satellite Pro A100 already use hard disks with SATA interface so you have such a HARD drive. In addition, I would recommend a 5400 RPM model because it s quite fast and doesn t a lot of power.

    So that s what you need to know about upgrading. Theoretically, you can use the old or an external HDD with an external HARD drive enclosure. Also no problem. :)

    I ve never had a Lan Driver or the ability to connect to a WiFi network. I am currently using a BT voyager, but who has broken. Is there anywhere I can download Driver Lan or Wireless Lan Driver that will allow the connection to my WiFi network without using voyager external BT.

    I'm sorry if this supposed doesn t. I tried various links does not.

    Thanks for your time. Kind regards.

    If you want to connect to the wireless network, you need the WLAN driver. LAN driver is not important in this case.

    Usually, you can download the driver WLAN Portal Toshiba WLAN, the last link you posted. You only know what you have the WLAN card.

    Have you ever tried this driver WLAN?

    Is it possible to upgrade processor in this model: L630 14 L? If yes what processors are supported?
    Another question - my hdmi port stopped working - is the possible replacement?

    Hello

    With regard to the question on the CPU upgrade:
    This question was asked several times here in the forum. I recommend you read the other discussions on upgrading the CPU.

    Usually, the case is simple: the manufacturers of portable don t support this upgrade for clean products. The CPU is delicate because the new processor must be based on two essential elements: chipset and BIOS.

    The laptop supports the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset.
    So, you know, what would the CPU supported by the chipset.
    But like I said above: the BIOS support is also important and finally everything depends on the BIOS whether your new processor works or not.

    Hi, Victor:

    According to the specifications, this should not be a problem...

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c03029649

    According to the parts list, there is only one model of system map, so it shouldn't matter what processor you install, as long as it's one of the reasons mentioned in the first link I posted.

    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

    Data transfer is supported by the speed of 475 Mbit/s and a transfer rate of 100 MB/s (Mode Ultra DMA) interface

  • Satellite Pro L20 PSL25E - Wireless LAN missing?

    I ended up wiping my laptop and leave as he ran very slow. After you have reinstalled XP it works now fine, however...

    There is now no wireless LAN. In my view, it is equipped with wireless 802. 11 b / g LAN (it worked until I reinstalled).

    I find no mention of Wireless LAN in "Devices", I have found a driver for the device (Atheros Wireless LAN adapter XP 7.7.0.233.1) but don't know what to do next.

    The wireless on the front button brings on the red LED when you press on, but nothing happens.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thank you

    Wireless network card is listed in the device-> network cards Manager?

    If this isn't the case, then that means that there is no card inserted wireless network.

  • Beep on Satellite Pro L20

    You just bought a new Satellite Pro L20 PSL25E-00K00CEN, less than 12 days old. He had these recurring short beep (1-2 sec), perhaps that every 20 minutes then maybe every hour. But no notification of what the beep wasn't on. Laptop works on current electric.

    No external device connected or disconnected. None of the obvious reasons. Beeps occur if I'm working on the laptop or not.
    Would be very grateful if anyone has similar problems and solutions?

    I even turned off "sound and notification" of the Panel, but never stopped beeping!

    Hello

    I don't know what could be the noise.
    The fact is that the beep occurs during the computer laptop startup procedure. It is usually a beep code. But this should not appear in the operating system and if the unit is running.
    However, this seems very strange. Your laptop is fairly new and the warranty is valid. You should ask the Toshiba service partner for review. Maybe he knows more about this strange event.

    Please post again if you will get more information.

  • 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.
