  Hi all, starting at this forum.

  Satellite Pro L20

  Thank you.

  I relly m not 100% sure if my advice will help you to solve this problem, but I recommend to remove the drive from the device and then Manager to delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Then restart the laptop and check if it helps it worth a try.

  Anyway if it doesn t help chances are readers equipment would malfunction. Maybe the s drive laser lens can not calibrate in the right position and, therefore, it of not possible to read or write CD or DVD.

• Satellite Pro M30: What DVD burner is compatible?

  Hi people, ask yourself if you can help.

  I have a sat Pro M30 but it came with a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. I decided that I would be able to write DVDs with it also. Can someone point me in the direction of a substitute for the current drive - I really don't want an external, but a replacement for one that is already there. Product ID and where to buy would be really nice.

  Thank you
  Richard.

  Hi Richard

  As far as I know MS M30 is similar to Satellite M30. As far as I know that the Satellite M30 has a Super-Multi drive Matsu * a UJ-820. I guess you can use the same player with your device.

  Good bye

• 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?

• 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!

• Too high temperature on Satellite Pro L20?

  Hey,.

  last night, when the temperature of the 'Temp 1 meaning' of game reaches 101 ° C / 210 ° F.

  Is - this too high?

  My Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 is now almost 5 years old. The fan works and the Bios for the cooling setting is set to 'Performance '. If the current clock speed is roughly 800 MHz (1.7 GHZ), feel Temp 0 is between 35 and 40 ° C / 95-105 ° F and the Temp sense 1 = 50-60 ° C / 120-140 ° F.

  Michael

  Seems a bit high for such a machine... have you ever cleaned the cooling system of your laptop?

  Could be the fan and cooling impeller is clobbed with the dust that causes these high temperatures. I suggest you to go for an electronic market, take a can with compressed air and clean with compressed air as the cooling system of dust and all that lives inside your machine. :)

  Please check after cleaning if the temp rise again.

• 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 - I can identify the right recovery disk?

  Hi all

  I wonder if there is a way to identify what recovery CD or DVD came with a particular laptop model?

  I have a number of Toshiba laptops and it is that recently that I started to write a note that's CD/DVD with a machine.
  for example
  GMR400788EN0 goes with Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E-03U017EN

  I'm trying to figure out which CD is going with a Satellite Pro L20, PSL25E-00800CEN

  Thank you
  Ian

  Hello

  Sorry, but I think that there is no way to identify which CD belongs to what laptop.
  If your laptop comes with the recovery disk it should be a CD label or so on it.

  Anyway, it shouldn't be a problem, and you should test if it s the right recovery disk.
  Or you have so many Toshiba laptops? ;)

• 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 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.

• 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!
