• Satellite P20 S203: how to change the graphics card memory

  My laptop has 32 MB graphics card I was wondering how I would improve my Vram to 64. What I do how would be, where would it be and what I have to install?

  Thank you

  To my knowledge, the Satellite P20 S203 was delivered with a nVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 32 MB of video ram. But this isn't a shared memory graphics card!
  In this case, you cannot change the settings of video ram.

  In addition he s is not possible to upgrade or replace the graphics card. Unfortunately, there is nothing to see ;(

• BSOD - black screen of death to Satellite P20 552

  Hello

  I have this laptop since 2005.

  Today, after put the laptop to sleep, I picked up, and then after the system restored Windows, the screen started going black and back to normal, once again, then I noticed some artifacts on the screen, then black again, then normal, then artifacts, etc. This continued for about 2 minutes, after which I delivered to zero by pressing and holding down the power button.

  When I turned on the laptop again, I got the dreaded BSOD, black version. Symptoms:

  -Black screen (blue BSOD)
  -No logo TOSHIBA
  -No test POST
  -No visible inscription on the screen
  -No HARD drive activity (HDD seems it does not work)
  -CDROM seems to work, but cannot start with the XP CD or Bootmed Rescue CD. CD ROM glad to read the disc and then idling.

  Tried so far:

  1. with the help of the P20-552 on my Toshiba Satellite 1950 801 PSU. Works.
  2 begin the Satellite P20 552 of the battery of the device. Power supply is removed. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
  3. remove the battery and start satellite P20 552, with its own power supply. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
  4 remove the battery and start Satellite P20 552 upward with a PSU of Toshiba Satellite 1950 801. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
  5. remove all devices, the baterry and CDROM drive and hold down the power button / stop for 1 minute, then try to start. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
  6. start-up of exploitation and hold (key insert of your choice here). Same results.

  I am an advanced PC user. I own 3 different PC, 2 Toshiba laptops and a desktop PC with a Gigabyte MOBO and processor Intel QX 9650 (Extreme Yorkfield) that I assembled from scratch. My Toshiba Satellite 1950 801 worked tirelessly and flawlessly for, uh, almost ten years now.

  It seems to me that this issue is a matter of 'sudden death' MOBO. I thought to open the laptop and remove the CMOS battery, because how Satellite P20 552 lacks a "hard reset" button

  What do you think guys? Some tips before you apply the Russian system on the laptop P20-552?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I don t think that remove the CMOS battery would be useful in this case
  You could remove one of the memory modules and could test each module in each of the slots.
  This could be useful in case one of these modules or the slots would be defective.

  You said that there is no Toshiba start screen and no message (power on self-test) perceptible property, this means that a motherboard or a part on the motherboard could be defective, but the black screen with artifacts may be the result of a GPU malfunction.

  What do you think?

  Hello

  currently operating on WinXp SvcPACK 2 and my graphics card do not work... I downloaded the drivers and the computer does not start it could freeze on a black screen then restart se...
  Help, please...
  Thank you...

  Hello

  Try to start the machine in safe mode and remove the preinstalled graphics card driver. Restart the device and try again. See the download from Toshiba site and download the latest updated driver for this device. My old unit was the Satellite P20-303 and I updated with SP2 with no problems.

  NVIDIA graphics card worked perfectly, all the time.

• Satellite P20 doesn't work anymore - clear CMOS?

  Hi all

  My laptop Satellite P20 no longer works, the system switches, but nothing happens, nothing on the screen, just the fans blowing air.

  I would like to clear CMOS, but I don't know which bridge to shorten on the motherboard.

  I also saw this: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB4B009N0006R01.htm | http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB4B009N0006R01.htm]
  I'm afraid that my son has tried to add a password for me not to start the laptop and maybe he aded "©" letter which is especially common in french. He said that he did not do anything... but I don't really trust him when he says that hahahah...

  Thank you for your help

  The document above describes the problem with Equium A60, Satellite A60 and Tecra S1 units and not the Satellite P20.
  So I think we can exclude your laptop BIOS password problem.

  According to your message, the problem looks like a malfunction of the motherboard
  > I would like to clear CMOS
  I put t knows anything about your experience of mobile but it seems you would mix technology PC desk with mobile technology. The layout of the motherboard for the laptop is just different and to be honest I don't think that if a clearing CMOS sensor would solve this problem

  In my opinion you have only one option; the authorized service provider should be contacted to clarify what s bad! If the motherboard is dead then you can solve this problem with the replacement of the Board of Directors and this could be a costly affair

  Hello

  Why?
  Who knows what have you that your screen is white?

  If so, then this problem may be related to faulty graphics card, if no, your laptop computer s display can be defective

• Satellite A300-1IL - monitor has white lines at the bottom

  Good evening

  about an hour, followed by my satellite a300 monitor has white lines at the bottom.
  I try to stop, change the resolution but i just turn on my laptop, the screen has this white line.

  It is a problem of monito'rs or videocar problem?

  Sorry for my ebglish

  Hello

  > It is a problem of monito'rs or videocar problem?
  It's easy to say; you need to connect the external monitor to the laptop and need to check if the same if possible lines on a second external display.

  If the lines were visible on the external monitor, so that the GPU fault is possible.
  Otherwise, it may be defective internal display.

• white spots on the screen of the touchpad

  I just got a 32 GB touchpad. I noticed that there are some white spots on the screen. One of them near the top left of the screen is very notciable but only on a clear background as white and light gray. The special white spot appears brighter than the background (slightly bluish). It is about 2-3mm in the Center and extends the region approximately 10 mm. Also, anyone notice the same thing?

  I would not bother to repair unless the white spots get more over time. I wonder if this is a sign of failure. Thank you.

  P.S. shapes of white spots appear similar to these well-known yellow spots on ipad 2.

  OK, answered my own question. After some Internet research, I am convinced the white spots (or stains specifically) are "pressure damage. It could have happened during the Assembly process. Some have said that this kind of problem could get worse with time (as one of my LCD monitors). In any case, I discuss with CS and they will repair screen touchpad for me.

• How can I get rid of the white stripes at the top of the screen that covers navagation bar?

  When I opened Firefix, there is a (sometimes blue) white stripe at the top of the screen that hides the navigation bar. I can't intervene except search because I can't click on the arrow invisible return, bookmarks, reduce or close the screen. I have to close the browser by right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar and click Close.

  First of all, could check you that Firefox is not full screen mode: by pressing the F11 key usually toggle between normal view and full screen. In addition, full screen, drag the pointer of the mouse to the top must cause the toolbar area to slide down. Then you can right click on an empty area of the tab bar (or the button '+' on the tab bar) and choose the output runs full screen in the context menu.

  Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

  If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules - try pressing Alt + h and then the letter r to trigger this command

  and OK reboot.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  Any improvement?

• Replacing the screen on the Satellite C660-2EH

  Hi, I'm looking for a replacement screen for my Satellite C660-2EH and I can't find a specific model. I could buy the generic screen come to label C660? In some I found, for example:

  http://www.laptop-power.co.UK/laptop-screens/Toshiba-compatible/satellite/series-C660/model-C660.html

  http://www.laptopscreenonline.com/Toshiba-Satellite-C660-replacement-screen-laptop-LCD-15982-p.asp

  Would appreciate any help that someone could give me on this matter, thank you!
  Zoe.

  In my view the two links are OK, and you can't do anything wrong. AFAIK all C660 models use the same LCD display with following specifications:

  Display Type - color display TFT LCD
  Size (diagonal) - 15.6 "(HD)
  Resolution - 1366 x 768
  -16:9 aspect ratio
  Type of LED lighting - light side.

  Only the difference can be a salesman or the brightness to level 8.

  When you order this use being it's HD LED screen.

  By the way: you want to exchange it only? I mean it's not so easy and if you don t have any experience with this kind of things that you should ask for help.

  Be careful about this.

• Suddenly the screen on my Satellite M70 had color red, green or other

  Some time while I was on the net screen on my Satellite M70 exploded and a color on the screen and I couldn't do anything unless I close the lid of the laptop and the computer will put into hibernation. After doing this the laptop go normally, and after a while he'll be back.

  There's something that amazes me that some time, sometimes 3 times a day and some time it doesn't happen in a week.
  Please I need your help

  Hi guys

  This seems very strange and it's amazing that a single software application could have a negative influence on the screen.
  It happens only when the laptop connects to the internet?

  But of course, maybe the program like MS Messenger has a bad influence on the graphics driver and so this problem appears.

  Try to update the graphics driver and check if it helps!

  Recently, I have problems with the resolution/quality of images on my laptop P20.

  When I try to remedy this in the tab settings of Options Diplay it me does not save the changes to the screen resolution or image quality. I am currently using the default monitor on NVIDIA GeFOrce FX Go5200.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  For all the ideas give us more information please. I just know that the resolution of the standard screen for this laptop is 1440 x 900 and if the right display driver is pre-installed to avoid any problems.

  I used Satellite P20-303 (nVIDIA GeForce FX Go5600) nearly two years with the original display driver and have never had any similar problems.

• Screens on the Satellite / Equium A100 series

  I was wondering if someone could help me because I am looking to buy the Satellite Pro A100 - Intel® Celeron® M 380 processor, however I will buy the notebook on the interent and I was wondering if the screen described as "WXGA TFT display" is the same as a laptop computer that I saw in a store and the screen on this one is described as «Screen Toshiba TruBrite WXGA TFT» I'm going to begrateful for all the advice on this topic

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite Pro A100 comes with two screens:
  large display 15.4 TFT color display "(1280 x 800)
  large display CSVI 15.4 TFT color display "(1280 x 800)

  For example the satellite A100-602 uses a wide display 15.4 TFT color screen "(1280 x 800)."
  But uses Equium A100-195 15.4 "(1280 x 800) wide angle of view CSVI TFT color display."

  Well, in general the two units should use the same poster.
