• 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: No boot screen

  I have Toshiba Satellite laptop & for some reason any recently there is no boot menu or screen. Once windows has loaded the screen works fine but my windows is corrupt & I want to reinstall I can not do this in windows because of the errors & I cannot access the BIOS menu or even see the multiboot menu.

  I wonder if a BIOS update will fix this, but I have to do this blind because I have nothing on the screen.

  Can someone tell me what I have to press on if I had to do a blind update? Or is there another way to solve this problem (no boot menu screen).

  Thank you

  Hello

  You want to boot from the CD drive. Am I wrong?
  In this case you can press F12 immediately after starting the laptop, and then the start menu should appear. Then you can choose the device you want to start.

  The other possibility is to press the C key. There is an option to boot from the CD drive.

• 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.

• Necessary recovery for my Satellite Pro L20 CD

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 with Windows XP.
  I made a CD of recovery for him and there is no partition separately to install the system from it.

  So now, even though I own a license number, I can reinstall my system. I called the company that has exclusive rights to Toshiba in my country, and they say that they n t have this recovery CD anymore (my knees is around 3 years - so it s not that old right?) and that s their last word on this situation.

  Is someone can you please tell me where can I get this recovery CD? I can buy it anywhere?

  Thank you
  Mihai

  Hello Mihai

  As far as I know Satellite Pro L20 comes with recovery CD and there is no option for the creation on the new laptop models. This option doesn't exist.
  You wrote, it is the oldest model of laptop and I can imagine this company doesn t have for this model of laptop recovery media.

  Toshiba recovery media can be ordered under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx but I'm not sure that you will be able to order it for this older model laptop, but you can check it out.
  If you will not be able to order the original Toshiba recovery media, you can install WXP using the facilities of Microsoft CD. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba supports the page.

  One more thing: number on the bottom is for the recovery image and cannot be used with each installation of Windows XP Home edition CD.

  If you need assistance with installing WXp let us know.

• Satellite Pro L20 cannot see APs works on Channel 13

  I work in a school where we have a WLAN with multiple Points of access working on different channels. Staff a model of laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 with Atheros WLAN cards (they are actually labeled "Askey" but they appear in as Atheros Device Manager. These laptops do not have any APs working on Channel 13. Anyone know if these cards support channel 13?

  Or do need to be configured to do this - if so how?

  Wlan 13 channel isn't available on Toshiba laptops due to some important restrictions! Because Toshiba distributes own books in the world, all Wlan channels must meet various conditions.
  Channel 13 is not available in the USA because the USA standard uses only 11 channels.
  That's why 13 is not activated!

• Satellite Pro A60 had been getting very hot

  My Satellite Pro A60 had been getting very hot (especially on the upper right corner).

  I also noticed for several months that the fan never stops and it very is nosiy.

  Is this normal?

  Thanks for any help you can provide :)

  Hi Jay,.

  Continuous fan activity high speed could well indicate that the dust blocks the heat sink. Try to blow through the exit gates to clear any dust or otherwise try to use a hose of household vacuum on the suction air grids.

  Your laptop will have a thermal trigger installed to cut the current if the temperature becomes too high to avoid any damage.

  Finally, make sure your laptop is enough space adjacent to the air intakes for the ventilation of air to enter.

  Kind regards

• 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 - 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?

• Cannot get wireless with my Satellite Pro L20

  My Satellite Pro L20 simply does not recognize my wireless network at home - he can't even see when I search for wireless networks. With my other non-Toshiba laptop on - there was no problem and that captures wireless 4 or 5 in my neighborhood.

  My Tosh works well when he hard plugged on the Net, but if you help get me wireless I would appreciate.

  Are you sure that your laptop is an installation of a WLan minPCI card?
  You can check this in the device under network adapters Manager

  If the wireless network adapter is listed in the device manager then you should check the compatibility of the WLan standards.
  If the wireless network adapter supports only the 802. 11 G standard and your router supports only 802.11 A or 802.11 standard B then you will not be able to connect to the WLan router.

• 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 - 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 - 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 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
