• Satellite L20-217: product Recovery CD/DVD (reinstall Windows XP)

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite L20-217 (aka PSL2XE) who is now more than three years. It's been a good camera but needs a clean reinstall of Windows XP to improve performance and stability, or possibly install a new larger hard drive. My problem is that I don't have a product recovery CD or DVD - it is be lost or has not submitted by the dealer who has also installed additional software purchase.

  Plan A: I checked the backup disk Toshiba Europe site command to such https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/serial.aspx as suggested by other people in this forum online. Unfortunately my model (or particular unit) is not supported. When I enter my serial number, it gives me the message "device no way recovery can be ordered, because it's not about Toshiba Europe region, or it is too old for this service."

  Plan b: I could use a different Windows XP CD to install the base operating system and to cope with the necessary drivers. I created a backup of the drivers and utilities of L20 CD, but do not have access to a vanilla Windows XP Edition family installation disc. (I tried the recovery CD for my Satellite A70 which is not recognized by the L20 at all and an XP Pro the installation CD for my other machines, but of course, the license key is not fair - the L70 is license for XP Home no Pro.)

  Plan C: the L20 is still operational. Is it somehow possible to create a disc of recovery of this machine itself? I couldn't find a utility to do it on the hard drive. Some Toshiba machines are supposed to support a recovery, insider mode by holding down the button "0" when the power, but not this unit.

  The questions are:
  (1) is it possible to create a disc of recovery of this machine itself somehow?
  (2) is there another way to contact Toshiba Europe to order a CD or a DVD? (As I live in the Canada after buying L20 in Gibraltar while she lived in Europe, the cost + shipping is likely to be more that the computer is worth worth)
  (3) as a last resort, that I must try to find a bootleg XP Media CD somewhere?
  (4) other solutions?

  Thanks in advance!

  >) it is possible to create a disc of recovery of this machine itself somehow?
  No! You cannot create own recovery on this laptop drive because this option was not mentioned on this model. New laptop models which are not delivered with the recovery only supports disk a possibility to create a recovery disk.

  (> 2) y at - it another way to contact Toshiba Europe to order a CD or a DVD? (As I live in the Canada after buying L20 in Gibraltar while she lived in Europe, the cost + shipping is likely to be more that the computer is worth worth)
  Usually, you can order the CD from recovery of the ASP from Toshiba, but I'm not sure if the European ASP will send to the Canada. In addition, it would be possible that the recovery for this laptop disk is no longer available.
  However, maybe you should contact the ASP (using European countries) in order to get more details.

  (> 3) as a last resort, that I must try to find a bootleg XP Media CD somewhere?
  Well, the last option would be an original Win XP disc with the right key of BONE.
  After Installing Win XP boot, you can download the Win XP drivers from the Toshiba page.

  (> 4) alternatives?
  I doubt, there are other solutions, either you will install the operating system using the disk Toshiba or Microsoft

• Satellite L20-217 does not start

  Hello
  can anyone help?
  I have a Satellite L20-217 and it just stopped working on the other day.
  It was connected with the AC adapter, all of a sudden the message came on the screen saying my battery was low so less than a minute the whole machine has stopped working.
  I ve bought a new power supply and the s is still running is not on. I ve took out the battery for 2 minutes etc... and still nothing; West not sound and no lights.
  When the battery is in and the adapter is hollow area I still get nothing, but if I press the power button the left hand LED will blink for a few seconds then nothing again.
  I really need to get this working as I´am a tattooist and piercer hairdresser and there all my drawings etc. on it.

  Thx for any help

  You can start your laptop with AC power only (the battery is removed)? If so, start windows and after a few minutes, put the battery inside and post the result.

• Upgrade memory of satellite L20-181

  Hey all

  I want to upgrade memory on my Toshiba Satellite L20-181.
  Now I have 256 MB and I want to add another stick of memory to 256 MB.
  Could you please inform me about the type of memory has this laptop?
  On the site it is said:
  Standard system memory: 256 MB
  maximum scalability: 2 048 MB
  technology: DDR2 RAM

  DDR2?
  A link with such a memory would be very useful.
  Also, anyway to buy memory online?

  Best regards

  Hello

  The news that you are quite right. Toshiba has tested this laptop with the memory modules to follow:
  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)

  As you can see it's memory module DDR2 and if you use the part (PA.) to the Google number, you will find many online offereor where you can order this tested memory. I recommend buying the original or perhaps module of Kingston. On this way, you will be sure that the new module will be recognized correctly.

  Good luck!

  My question is it ok to change it, because I can't get RAM even with the exact numbers in red or yellow circle?

• Upgrading processor on Satellite L20-181

  Can I insert in my laptop Toshiba Satellite L20-181 (Intel Celeron M 380 processor) Intel Pentium 4 processor 521 (for laptop)?

  Sorry, my English is weak.

  Hello

  No, to my knowledge it of certainly not possible to upgrade the satellite L20 with a processor Intel P4 CPU.
  As far as I know that the motherboard supports a mobile Intel socket 479 and it should be possible to use only the processors Celeron-M as follows:
  Intel Celeron M 350 (1.30 GHz) - 360 (1.40 GHz) - 370 (1.50 GHz) - 380 (1.60 GHz) with 400 Mhz FSB

  In my opinion the stronger processors will cause overheating.

  I want to upgrade ram 2x2gb (SAMSUNG) to 2 x 4 GB (CORSAIR). Only the ram that I put in the location #1 is recognized as a result system starts and detects 6 GB of RAM. When I put the RAM 2nd Slot #2, the PC does not start. It seems that it does not detects hard (the LED on the front of the PC don't not ligth during startup). I can't go into the BIOS (even if I press the F2 key), black screen, all I can do is power off.

  I'd appreciate your help, if you have an idea.

  Hello

  First some general information on your machine:
  Your laptop can be upgraded to the top 8 GB and max upgrade, you can use both modules of memory of 4 GB.
  Compatible 4 for GB DDR3 - 1066 MHz apart number PA3677U-1M4G. Module of memory with this part number is tested and 100% compatible with your device.

  If you check this forum you will find number of threads as your one, where people try to level of RAM using Rams Corsair and spoke of the same problems. Obviously the reason for non-working machine is compatibility issue with these RAM modules.

  The 'value' Modules of RAM use many markets good chips using several banks/channels, which can cause problems of compatibility with some chipsets/CPUS.

  I highly recommend to use high quality and 100% compatible modules of RAM from Toshiba or Kingston.

  You can update the RAM up to 8 GB, but as much as I know bus Frontal (FSB) is limited to 1066 Mhz

  Even if you want to use the 1333 Mhz modules, the FSB would be clock speed to the 1066 Mhz is not worth to use 1333 Mhz as this seed would not be used.

  Is someone can you please tell me what I need to buy to upgrade to 1 GB? I think I have a 256 and a 128 to present but am a novice and have no idea how many pins, speed, dram etc.

  Thank you

  Unfortunately, it s not possible to upgrade on the Satellite 5100 201 up to 1024 MB memory!
  The max value memory is 512 MB.
  If you have a 256 MB module, you can use the other to upgrade the laptop to 512 MB.
  It seems that the only location cannot handle 512 MB module

• No sound on my Satellite L20-217

  I don't have sound in my Satellite and L20 and can not find the drivers for my model.
  What should I do?

  Are there drivers from any other model that will be ft to mine?

  Satellite L20 is pretty old machine and if I remember well, it was delivered with Windows XP Home edition at home.

  The question is: what operating system are you currently using?
  Problem is that this old piece of hardware is not supported for newer operating systems.

• Upgrading RAM on Satellite P70-A104

  Hello

  I just bought a laptop P70-A104 and I wonder if I can upgrade the RAM. Currently my laptop is having 8 GB of RAM, and I wonder if it is possible to upgrade to 16 GB and also if I am covered by insurance of portable.

  Can you give me suggestions on how to do it and that the RAM is the ideal place to buy?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Specification for your laptop, I found here. As you can see RAM upgrade is possible, but you have access to two ports of RAM only, and you can use 2 x 8 GB of RAM.

  I wasn't able to find the list with compatible Rams but for an another P70 compatible 8 GB of RAM a reference PA5104U-1M8G or Kingston part number KTT-S3CL / 8G so I think you can use it to upgrade RAM.

  Check it out.
