• Equium L20-264 - CPU upgrade

  Hello world

  I have Toshiba Equium L20-264 and I want to move into gear
  Can someone help me please?

  I had already upgraded to 2 GB of Ram, but my CPU is still 1.4 GHz.

  Please guide me what to do and if it supports several Ghz processor, which will be the best place to buy.

  Thank you.

  I assume that you have not read all the posts here in the forum about upgrading the CPU s for laptop?
  Did you?

  Some facts first:
  Update CPU is very delicate and depends on the chipset and BIOS support.
  In case one of the parties (chipset or bios) would not support new CPU, the will to power laptop on.

  Second: the laptop seems to be equipped with an Intel Celeron - M CPU, and I suppose the other Intel Celeron-M CPU be compatible:
  Intel Celeron M 370 (1.5 Ghz)
  Intel Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz)

  Everything supports the FSB 400 Mhz

  But guess what? Even if you add the new processor at 1.6 Ghz, the performance gain will be not noticeable. So in my eyes, CPU upgrade for this old book is useless. It won't add any performance benefits.

  Hi mate.

  As far as I know your laptop supports two memory locations.
  They must be placed at the bottom of the unit.
  If you n t know how to change this then I recommend consulted the user manual!
  The manual can be downloaded from the Toshiba European page.
  I think that the laptop can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. So, you can use 1 GB of RAM in one slot.

  PS: you must use the RAM DDR2 PC2-4200 memory - 200pin modules

• Upgrades memory battery/Equium L20-264

  Hello

  I want to improve memory my equium l20-264 to the maximum which is about 2G I think and I was wondering what parts of memory I need to do this? He currently heads the 256 MB standard, but I'm not sure if I need to replace that with a higher memory 256 AND get a new one to compensate for the amount or if I can buy a souvenir that will do the job. Is also editing them something that I can do myself or should I consider somewhere for them to do?

  The other thing is the battery life is only 1.5hours and hoped to obtain a superior capacity for her battery? Anyone know if I can do it and so what battery need and how long it lasts?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi the GATS.

  Your laptop has two banks of memory (usually accessible by a small flap on the bottom of the unit). He must have a slot in use at present with a 256 MB card installed. New RAM modules are available in sizes of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB so to get all of the 2 GB, you will need to replace the 256 MB card existing with 2 X 1 GB modules.

  The site of Toshiba UK lists all the options that are available for your model (!), but I found the options available on the following web - site: -.

  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=20877&ft=m&St=3

  I don't think it will be possible to install an additional capacity for your laptop battery and 1.5 hours you CITIES seem just to me for this model.

  Kind regards

• Recommended graphics card and processor for Equium L20-264

  Hello

  I was wondering which graphics cards are compatiable with equium l20-264 because I have a radeon eXpress standard ATI 200 m (waste) and wanted to update my graphics card, but I'm a beginner I upgraded my ram but really need an update for my graphics card to a lot of games for vista (you probably think how I have vista on a computer no-vista laptop ^_^)

  I was also wondering if I coould go my Proccesor to a best something like 1.0 GHZ to 2.5 GHZ but a one celeron so I don't have to get a new motherboard.

  Hello

  I would recommend not all graphics cards for this camera because it s is usually not possible to replace or update the chip graphic card on laptops.

  Upgrading the CPU would be possible.
  The CPU of the new generation of motherboards for laptop is not welded and it might be possible to remove it.
  BUT the updates are not recommended because
  -first of all, you will lose the warranty and
  -Second, the laptop could run unstable due to the higher temperature.

  However, I found a few compatible Intel Celeron - M CPU, which are supported by the motherboard:
  Intel Celeron-M 350 (1.30 GHz) FSB: 400 MHz
  360 (1.40 GHz)
  370 (1.50 GHz)
  380 (1.60 GHz)

• Equium L20-264: can I unlock the options in the Bios to change the speed of the CPU & FSB

  Hello

  I have a toshiba equium l20-264 today and I was wondering if I can open it the options in the bios to change the cpu speed and the speed of the fsb.

  But if you don't don't do this, I already have a Dell Xps laptop Overclcoked to 4.5 ghz (twisted majorly) and I installed today a very powerful cooler and heatsink of heat inside my laptop, I'm ready to overclock bu ti do not know if I can via bios but if so could you point me to guides for a code name overclocking intel celeron m 360 : DOTHAN

  Help, please

  regards James...

  Hello

  Unfortunately, this is not possible on the laptop.

  I o year owner of 3 different computers; two laptops and a desktop PC. The BIOS on the desktop is different and allows to change and increase the CPU. But the laptops BIOS does not allow to do something similar.

  Why? Because the CPU overclocking would increase the internal temperature and make portable is not stable and perhaps that it would infringe the motherboards and CPU!
  The notebooks run with maximum efficiency. If you compare the notebooks modules with cooling Office cooling modules you will see the difference!

  Please don t waste your time and don t find any possibility to overclock the CPU and the FSB

• Equium L20-264: can I mix memory

  Thank you all for the information about upgrading memory on the Equium L20. This I have to have 2 of the same (for example to buy an another 256) where can I buy a 1 GB and while maintaining the current 256. Or do I have to buy two 1 GB.

  Hello

  You must not have two identical RAM module. You can mix. I recommend you put slot A and smaller cotyledon in slot B.

  By the way: compatible memory for your device are
  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

• How often I need update BIOS Equium L20-264?

  Hello

  How many times have you need update the bios on L20 - 264? and what he achieve by doing this?

  Last update I was in summer.

  How many times? I bought my laptop 5 years ago and I've never updated my BIOS.
  Do you know that the update of the BIOS is risky? The bad BIOS or bad BIOS upgrade procedure can damage the ROM module or the motherboard.

  If you have any problems and the unit works fine, the BIOS update is unnecessary.

• Equium L20-264, do not recognize the removable hard drive

  Can anyone help. I haven't bought a nice no notebook on the weekend and you want to get the stuff to my Lacie hard drive that I use on my mac to work on.

  Last night I plugged the drive (USB with PSU) and messages little came "new device found" then "works and is ready to use" However he didn't appear in the list of drive in the my computer window. Went to Device Manager and found it listed checked there, he worked and what everything was soft but still no joy to be able to find it or mount it or access it. I tried all the suggestions help, and eventually just turned it off.

  Also, for some reason, it lists the location as 0 istead of as USB 2 or whatever port when I plug another accessory, this would have something to do with it? I need to rename the disk or something?

  Can anyone help?

  GATS

  Hi the GATS.

  I'm not too knowledgable about MACs, but I think they use a different file for computers structure and that the files can be copied directly to a PC without first being "converted" to make them compatible. I also suspect that your Lacie is formatted to be used with a MAC, and therefore your XP operating system may not identify as a hard drive so does not show in my computer.

  I think you can get some freeware to convert your MAC files, then I suggest Googling to see what you can find.

  Kind regards

• Equium L20-264: CD/DVD player can read but not burn discs

  Hi all

  I need help. My laptop cd/dvd driver does not recognize the discs inside. It only happens when I try to burn a disc. She can read but not burn the discs. What could be the solution? I tried different brands, the last time it was Maxell. The manual suggests Mitsubishi discs, but I'm not sure that it only works with the Mitsubishi discs. It can read any kind of disc.

  So I'm in trouble, please help.

  Hello

  In the manual, you will find a list of media recommended because this media has been tested and were working properly.
  However, I use TDK CDs and DVDs and it works as well.
  Juan suggested in another ad that sometimes 3rd applications or DVD copy locks are responsible for some driver problems:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=12497

  What I mean is that it is not easy to give a generally the solution of these problems.
  You should try different media, burning software and if it doesn t work so it s is a malfunction of the equipment. In this case, you will need to replace the drive.

• Equium L20-264: Question on the actual battery life

  Hi Forum: I know that I need PA3420U-1BRS battery as a replacement for my laptop. Can someone tell me what the real battery life is that I can't find any information on this.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It is not easy to say, and that it is not generally answer on this question.
  The life expectancy of the batteries depends on the use of portable computers. The use of programs and applications heavy and high performance decreases battery life.

  However, you can charge the battery about 500 times. After this period, the battery performance decreases.
