• Need of repair for CD-rom update on Satellite Pro L20

  Hello
  Is there anywhere I can download a repair manual for Satellite Pro L20 that I just bought a dvdrw drive & want to adapt it myself

  TIA

  Hello

  Unfortunately, you won't find manuals repair on the Toshiba site. Only Toshiba service partners have such documents and the ability to use laptop manuals.
  As far as I know, the reader is fixed with a screw that is placed at the bottom of the unit and under the keyboard.
  After the withdrawal of these two screws, you can disconnect an optical drive to the connector on the system board.

  But without any experience, you must remove all readers. I think you should ask the service of Toshiba for help because he has more experience in such cases

• 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 L20-212 - 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
  Frank

  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.

  Hi Olbur

  I didn't find any official document on this subject, as you say, known issue. Can you please send a link?

  I have the Satellite L20 and there is not much difference for Satellite Pro L20 and I have no such problems, but I'm interesting about this. The L20 keyboard is not the best one, but all the characters are not displayed correctly. Maybe you type fast. ;)

• Need to reinstall windows, but does not have any CD - Satellite Pro L20

  Hi, I wanted to reinstall Windows XP home on my Satellite Pro L20, but do not have the software that my laptop came with (read the discs lost). I have a valid XP tone (like its stuck on the bottom of my laptop), but no disc so I tired using a copy of a cd of Windows XP home, which did not work, but let me go as far as the formatting of the hard drive.

  So now I use Ubuntu, but want to reinstall Windows. Have valid product key, but no software to reinstall.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Christopher

  Valid key will not help you. This key belongs to the image recovery and copy included WXP he.
  If you have two options. Either you order original Toshiba recovery image or use Microsoft installations CD key which belongs to this copy. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro L20 - Windows 7 - no sound

  Hi ppl

  New here... just installed windows 7 on Satellite pro L20 everything goes well no problem outside of having no noise looks that windows 7 doesn't like the old Toshiba laptops lol tried a range of drivers but still no luck...
  Anyone know if there is a driver for windows 7? or I have to go back to Vista... shame 7 looks pretty good

  Thanks for your comments

  a soon J

  > Does anyone know if there is a driver for windows 7
  In my opinion you have Win 7 drivers on the Toshiba page for this oldie.
  I found a FAQ from Toshiba on Win 7 support and Pro L20 is not there.

  You should check your sound chip and do research on some pages of part 3 of the right driver Win 7

First of all, I put the disk it starts to load and say to support on enter to launch xp installation, R to repair windows or F2 to exit but when I press ENTER, nothing happens if I press R, it starts to look for windows in order to repair, but no windows system cannot be found because it s not been installed but know someone or have any good suggestions on how to get windows installed.

  Any information would be most appreciated.

  I could also just add that when the computer starts first and it s on the first boot of the bit with the Toshiba logo we have 2 options F2 and F12, none of them work when I press them and also when I pressed r in the window xp installation you should be able to type exit, and then enter to leave but some type of keys and some don't but be4 just broken hard drive it typed very well no problem, if it is the problem cos I can't press on enter how fist to solve the problem of keyboard?

  Thank you once more for the reading of my problem.

• Reinstalled Windows XP now WLAN is not recognized - Satellite Pro L20

  I reinstalled Windows XP on my Satellite Pro L20.

  In Device Manager, I have a number of yellow question marks, which means that the operating system has not installed the drivers and therefore does not recognize the device.

  I downloaded the v5.3.0.35 Atheros Wireless Lan Driver Atheros dated 09/12/07 and tried to install these next to the 'Network controller' device, but nothing helped.

  Someone has an idea of what I might hurt or something else I could try? Sole purpose of the laptop is wireless connectivity, so I'm anxious to get this sort.

  Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

  Hello Thomas

  It will be interesting to know what L20 you exactly (L20 - xxx). It will be easier to identify what material is built into it.

  Anyway, as far as I know this laptop comes with operating system Windows XP Home edition and will be best solution to install using the supplied OS recovery media. The OS will be installed just after 20 minutes and all the hardware components are configured correctly.

  Of course, you install OS on your own. On the download page of Toshiba just follow instructions order facilities and avoid all the problems.

  Back to the Atheros WLAN card. After you download the driver Atheros for Windows XP Home edition, open the folder INSTALL and run the setup.exe file. What happens when you do this?

• 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?

• 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.

• Re: Is my Win XP too old for Satellite Pro L20

  Hi guys

  This is the first time on a forum, so please be nice.
  I'm trying to re - install the OS on my toshiba Satellite Pro L20 and chipset specifications requires:

  Windows * XP 5.10.2600 (original version)

  I have Windows XP home 2002 which seems to be 5.1.2600.

  I've never done this before and I'm trying to rebuild the laptop for my father in law to use.

  My version of windows is too old for this? I have an error message asking me to check the system requirements in the readme file

  Thank you

  No, it is certainly not too old ;)

  Maybe your XP disk contains SP2 or other patches, but it's not really bad.
  You can update everything after installing Windows.

  After installing windows, you could install the Toshiba drivers that you might find on the European driver Toshiba page.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support download &-> download drivers

  Please note; You should also research * Archives * area the driver page if you won't find anything in field of laptops
