• Equium L20-198: error 0271 check date and time settings.

  My apologies if this appears twice, I tried to change and I somehow lost my thread.

  Hi people.

  For awhile, I had problems with my laptop. Toshiba Equium L20-198.

  If I unplug the network at any time, when I re - connect and start the computer, I get two warnings.

  Date and time settings error 0271 check.

  WARNING 0251 system cmos checksum bad default configuration used

  About 6 months ago we replaced the CMOS battery, while we struggled to find a brand new ML1220EI2 Nickel hydrogen 3V 14mAh, we had to go for a "used" quality one.

  The problem persists and I now also get this message every time that I reboot rather put into hibernation.

  Yes, the computer is a little more than 5 years and hit a little, but it is absolutely perfect in all other ways - with one exception - the main battery is completely dead. If the network becomes disconnected, I make you stop in about 3 minutes. :(

  Is it possible that the CMOS battery charge the main battery and this is my problem? I did a little research on Google and found a similar question and an answer on a Dell forum where someone has stated that the CMOS takes his food on the main battery. Would this be the case with my Equium and could buy a new battery solve my problem? I obvioiusly don't want to spend £30 + for it will not help, any response would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  > Is it possible that the CMOS battery charge the main battery and this is my problem?
  Well, the CMOS battery can be charged with AC adapter but the laptop must be turned on for about 18 to 20 hours.
  It s not I known if battery CMOS takes the power of the main battery
  Usually the CMOS battery should always charge in work and when the laptop is plugged in
  So, theoretically the main battery has no influence on the CMOS battery.

  I think it might be a mobo problem, I think this could be a reason for it

  By the way; in most cases the CMOS battery is not removable... so I wonder how did you repalce this CMOS battery...

• Equium l20-198: what battery model is compatible

  Having bought just an Equium l20 - 198 I'm horrified to find that the battery (2000 mAh) dies in less than an hour. It's quite desperate and it is almost impossible to get a decent job done use away from a power outlet.

  I have yet to find a 'battery' web site which mentions the Equium: Satellite, Tecra, Portege, Qosmio, Dynabook, but never Equium - why? I can't find any information on what other reasonable quality (> 4000 mAh) battery is compatible with this model.

  Any suggestions please?

  Hi Rockrat

  As you know that each laptop producer a lot of different series laptop. This is due to a different use. Portege and Tecra notebooks are the industry and these books are mostly bought by business people who need these notebooks to traverse. For these business line books, you will find different batteries. Laptops satellite and satellite are cheaper models for everyday use, and there is no need for batteries of large capacity.

  Other models like the Qosmio is multimedia unit and it is mainly used to connected devices home TV and other entertainment and it must be connected to the power adapter because of high energy consumption. I hope you understand this and in my opinion, this is the reason why you aren't able to find the battery high capacity for your computer satellite phone.

• TOSHIBA Power Saver Equium L20-198

  Hello

  I have an Equium L20-198. When I click on the toshiba power saver icon in the Control Panel, it says "cannot open as the toshiba power saver does not work, go to power options, toshiba power saver, select power schema list box in page scheme of power." But toshiba power saver is already selected in the schema of power section. I'm confused.

  What is an ati graphics accelerator? It seems that every time I turn on my computer. It is said that an ati Graphics Accelerator can use a TV to my computer display. It is recommended to use a TV to display my computer, I'll have to make sure your TV display is enabled, if I do not use the TV to display my computer, I have disable for optimal performance (higher discount rate). What should I do?

  Hello

  I wonder about your message
  Why?
  because the Toshiba Power Saver was not preinstalled on Equium L20.
  A Toshiba power saver doesn t exist for the L20 series!
  There is nothing on the page of the Toshiba driver too

  Therefore, the GST will not work on this laptop!

• Equium L20-198 recognized not the 512 MB of ram after you add the 1 GB

  However only 896 MB memory is recognized by the Bios and xp Home Edt. -Any ideas?

  so the 512 MB not recognized at all and it apeares as not installed.

  The 1 GB is compatible with the 512 MB (available from stock)

  Http://www.crucial.com/UK/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=D21283D0A5CA7304 1 GB

  Why the 512 MB not recognized when I installed the 1 GB and when I removed the 1 GB, the recognized 512 MB and works perfectly?

  If you want to test with the new module of RAM 1 GB please try with PA3411U-1M1G. According to the specifications of it is compatible.

• Equium L20-198: keyboard forgets to put the letters here and there

  My laptop Toshiba Equium L20-198 plays up. The keyboard sometimes seems to be a bit lazy and forgets to put the letters here and here. It seems to be worse when you type faster; is this a driver problem? If yes where can I update keyboard drivers?

  There seems to be none on the toshiba site. If it is not a driver issue - what is the problem?

  Any ideas anyone?

  Don t think that this issue was caused by a defective keyboard driver.
  I read some of the comments in this forum on similar keyboard problems on different laptops and especially BIOS update has solved a similar question.
  I recommend to check and compare the version of the BIOS of your laptop computer with the version on the Toshiba page.
  If it s a newer version then try to update the BIOS, but be careful!
  Don't forget to use the good BIOS and the proper procedure because wrong BIOS can damage the motherboard.

• Equium L20-198: Motorola ROKR as modem GPRS for laptop?

  Hi, can someone help me.
  I have paired my Motorola ROKR E1 with my Equium L20-198 with a Bluetooth dongle and now I would like to use the GPRS service for internet connection.
  I can do this, or what I need to use a modem connection?

  Also how can I prevent IE try to dialup connection when I use my LAN wireless at home?

  Thanks a lot for your help
  Shane

  Hello

  Dial-up connection will definitely work. I tried several times.

  This question is very strange for me, but if you open it and when producing Connect message or not click on connect and after that you can use with a LAN or WLAN connection. He never ask you this again once (in my case).

  Hello

  Ethernet controller
  modem PCI
  SM bs controller
  controller of SB
  VGA controller

  And even if it is a wireless switch (and it works IE turns the light on). I have no software or the details of the installed wireless (standard) whatever it is!
  Not there at - it no utility driver like all the drivers in one of toshiba!

  Thanks to anyone who repiles in advance as this is driving me crazy!

  Hello

  Do you have what OS installed on your Equium L20?

  Normally, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Did you check that?
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  I had a similar error message if I tried to install a new driver from chipset, but it worked if I installed the driver in the Device Manager with the Advanced installation order.

• Equium L20 - 198 expand the RAM

  Equium L20 daughter - 198 has the factory supplied 512 MB RAM installed 2rx16 PC2. I want to expand the memory to see if it improves performance with programs like MSN which seem to be grinding to a halt and freeze enough frequently. After looking on the Toshiba site for compatible memory, I couldn't find - is there any compatible RAM available? If so who?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Your laptop can handle with 2 GB of RAM max.
  If you want to add 512 MB RAM compatible a part PA3412U - 1 M 51 number module. With 1 GB of RAM of your Satellite will work perfectly.

  You want to use more than 1 GB of RAM?

• What HARD drive I can use Equium L20-198?

  Hi all!
  I'm looking to upgrade my drive,(L20-198) hard as it has only 40 GB for now.
  It has been said that any player (9.5 mm?) of 2.5 "internal SATA will work.

  Is this correct? I am hoping to move to a greater capacity and also a RPM faster.
  IE 80/100 GB-7200 RPM

  Just want to be sure that no readers are listed for this model on the Toshiba site!
  But then I saw other readers recommended on other sites.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I guess the HARD SATA 40 GB drive supports a 5400 RPM.
  I think you could use a 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and a 100 GB HARD drive.
  But I think the 5400 RPM is higher because many HARD disk faster could produce more heat and this could lead to overheating problems.

  Therefore use the 5400 RPM HARD drive, and you should also get a very good data transfer performance.

• Equium L20-198: Question about BIOS and output s-video

  I seem to have two problems with it and that's when I put the bios password on above it on the screen is rubbish, scrammble symbols. Also is it supposd to come with s-video output, but it is a black plastic in place place

  Hello

  I certainly know that the S-video port is not available on all models Equium L20. Please check the specifications of the laptop even though I think that your model should have S-video port. Please contact your local dealer and talk with them about it.

  Your device has a valid warranty and if you think that there is a technical problem, contact the Service partner and explain the problem. Please don t make some BIOS update experiences if you are not familiar with this procedure.

• Equium L20-198: need a updated ATi display driver

  Hello

  I bought a laptop Equium L20 and being graphics, I notices that there is a serious problem with the features of opengl/directx in terms of vertex shaders.

  I create my own 3d applications and I found that shader/pixel pixel programs compile and run quickly on the hardware, but when you compile the vertex shader, they run only on the software that revolves around about 7 fps...

  I can't update the driver on the net, at ATi or here at Toshiba... will you be updated video drivers soon? as it is a big problem for me and maybe a big problem for all those people out there whose games, applications dependent on vertex programs...

  Thank you

  Kevin

  Hey Kevin,

  I can't help with the complexities of the development of graphics, but you can find drivers for ATI's Omega of some use.

  Kind regards

• Equium L20-198 loses time - about 7 minutes each day

  My L20-198 system tray clock loses about 7 minutes each day.
  I can update manually via the "set Date/time" function right click but must remember to do whenever I start and, as often, I forget quickly become desynchronized of 20-30 minutes.

  Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix?
  Do I need new CMOS battery?
  If so, how it access?

  Hello

  > Do I need new CMOS battery?
  Maybe

  But first, it would be interesting to know if the same time is seen in the BIOS.

  According to your message, you change the time always under Windows OS.
  Please check the BIOS, correct the time and save the changes to the BIOS.

  May I ask where have you noticed this problem?
  Eventually, it happens because of the old CMOS battery

  I would also try to recharge the battery CMOS.
  Connect the L20 to AC adapter leave for 18 to 20 hours.
  During this time the main battery will be charged and then the battery CMOS.

• Equium L20-198: what DVD burner are compatible

  Hello.

  The combi CD / DVD writer on my laptop decided to give up the ghost.
  In my view, there is a good choice of burners 'slimline' designed for portable computers out there, but I was warned that not all burners are compatible with all PC.

  Apart from one obvious Mat * like one already installed, someone could you please recommend or advise the slimline burners will be compatible with Toshiba laptops, or better yet my model in general or at least advise what brands are known to be incompatible with computers laptop toshiba.

  I would be extremely grateful for any help you could give. :)

  Thank you very much
  Steve.

  You are right. Not all CD/DVD drive are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.

  But I ve discovered DVD Super Multi Pinan could be compatible:

  -MATSU * A (UJ-841BTQ-A)
  -HLDS (GSA-4082N. ATAKN0)
  -Pioneer (DVR-K16TBA)
  -TEAC (DV-W28EA)

  You can also order the compatible CD/DVD player with ASP in your country.
  Guys might provide details which readers are correct.

  Good bye
