Can i have minipci WiFi on my Satellite L20-182?

Hi!
I have Satellite L20-182 without wifi card but I want to install one. I have spear minipci slot but I dont know if I have aerial preinstalled. When I ve looked under the cover of minipci slot. I found 2 wires (red and black) but they seem to be connected to something. Are they wires form aerial?
If yes could somebody explain me how to install the card and what type of wifi card to buy, please?

No, its not possible to upgrade and to use a minPCI WLan card in this notebook.
If you want to use the WLan technology and the wlan connection then you have to switch to an external solution like a USB WLan stick.
There you can choose between different WLan modes like 802.11 A, B, G

Question about new BIOS on Satellite L20-182

Hi :)
I've got one question: may I install new BIOS 2.20 on my Satellite L20-182 model no. PSL2XE?
If I can't, why users PSL2X can do this? Are there so many differences on both models?
Greetings and sorry for my English - I'n not the best :)

Hi,
just for explanation: the bios you mentioned is the right bios for the machine. Toshiba is not writing the full model number since there is a range of model numbers of the same model, so dont worry, they are not different. Maybe the last digit but this is not important for you.
Why I am knowing this? Because many manufacturers are doing this and I was many times confused when updating bioses from another manufacturer...

Satellite L20-182: Recovery

Hello,
I've been asked to recover a L20-182 from an agonal state after maybe 2 or more years of usage by my girlfriend and need to get the recovery data. What i mean is all the drivers and stuff I need to install after formatting the hdd and setting up the OS.
My computer has a recovery function that restores it to factory settings within minutes using data from a hidden partition. Is this possible with Toshiba L20-182?
If yes, how?
If not, where can I get all the data if the backup hasn't been made or was lost or used as a make-up stuff holder or whatever?
Thanks a lot in advance ;]

Older notebooks series were equipped with the Recovery CD. The new notebook generation supports the HDD recovery. This means that the image is stored on the HDD and you can restore it without the Recovery CD. But there is also an possibility to burn the Recovery image on the DVD.
However, you can also install your own Windows XP and then you could download and install also the Toshiba drivers.
Finally you could use an 3rd party software, for example Norton Ghost, to create a own image file or CD.
But the other user is right the Recovery CD can be ordered on the Toshiba website as mentioned above.

Satellite L20-182 (PSL2XE) & 120 GB HDD upgrade

Helo :)
I'm going to buy a new HDD and i think about 120 GB but I.m not so sure if it works in my L20-182 (PSL2XE). Users manual says:
+"Available in four sizes: 40, 60, 80 and 100 GB. Other hard disk drives may introduced in the future."+ Does any of you tried to put 120 GB? Does it work? Bios upgrade needed?

Hi
The user manual said that you can use the up to 100GB HDDs for sure.
I think the bigger HDDs were not tested on this L20 notebook and it seems that we can only speculate if its possible or not.
The problem is that the BIOS support an HDD size limitation. Therefore not all HDD sizes are supported. In worst case the BIOS will not recognize the inserted HDD.
However, I think you could test it. There is a big chance that a 120GB could works properly!

Satellite L20-182 - NO one wifi driver work

As the title says, i have tried all of the drivers on Toshibia's website and none seem to get the wifi to work.
I have been repairing Pcs for 8 years and this is the first time i have come across such an issue.
Device manger sees the wifi as an unidentified network controller, i have tried to force the drivers onto it etc, but with no joy.
If anyone has any idea i would be greatful
the Model is PSl2XE - 01C018G3

Hi
Are you 100% sure its a WLan card as a unknown device in Network Controllers and not the LAN card???
Please check the bottom of the unit. If an WLan card has been installed then there should be a label with some details regarding the WLan miniPCI module!!!
In my opinion there notebook has not been equipped with the internal WLan card!

Satellite L20-182: fan doesn't work properly - one minute intervals

When I turn on the computer about twenty minutes is quiet. Than fan starts like a hurricane, slows down and stops. It lasts few seconds. The fan works in this way regularly with one minute intervals.
Is there any possibility to switch the fan on continuous work in slow motion?

Hi.
I think that your notebook works fine. I have L20-101 which has Pentium M processor and it does the same. Usually after some period when it turns the fan on and off the fan starts to work at one slow speed. If you really want to have quieter machine and you really want that you can change settings in Bios (Thermal mode control - silent or perfomance). In performance mode processor runs at maximum possible speeds when it needs so fan behaves like yours. In silent mode, fan turns only when it really needs and for very short time. I got used to use silent mode when I do something else in the moment than sitting before my computer and I need my laptop as great calculator (MS-Excel, Rm-Win, MS - Word or 2D drawing in AutoCAD). If you need your computer for aplications that doesn't need very fast machine you can use silent mode. If you really need all power then you can switch to performance mode before booting.
I need performance mode only for watching Divx movies or converting files to PDF format (it is too slow at silent mode to convert 100 pages of text and drawings to PDF for me)
If you have any other questions that's my mail:

Satellite L20-182 freezes when capturing DV video

Hi, I have a problem - my L20 freezes and needs to be restarted when I try to capture DV video in Premiere Pro 2.0 (but also in other programs). What should I do?
BIOS Version - V1.70
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2
ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M Series ver=6.14.10.6553
Conexant AC-Link Audio ver=6.14.10.590

Hi
I have investigated a little bit on the Toshiba European FAQ database and found this very useful document:
By executing Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 the Notebook freeze or crash
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6401FS0007R01.htm
It seems that the Realtek High Definition Audio driver could be responsible for such issues.
I would recommend following the instructions in the Toshiba document

I can't turn the Wifi on, Satellite L40-18Z

Hi there,
I've been using Satellite L40-18Z but I can't turn on Wifi.
I'm very sure that Tthe device is installed propery and I tried some ways to turn on Wifi device but never turned on. Of course, never catched the signal. Rooter has no problem either.
Deveice manager says ithe device works propery. And the driver is correctly installed. But I can't turn on from windows mobility centre or network setting.
It's very embarrassing to post something like this but I need your help.
P.S. this is the first time I post on this thread but who answers? Toshiba support team?
Thanks,

I have the same problem. Does anyone cope with it? Have my wifi disabled can't switch it on, tried to reinstall it nothing work.
Have it installed and work correctly thru device manager. Wifi can't be enabled and find network, all other devices are working properly. Access point have no limitation or something else in their settings.
Windows diagnostic can't resolve this issue. Shows that "wifi is still disabled on this computer" FN+F8 doens't wotk too.
Any help are more then wellcome.
I suppose this is Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter bug within Thoshiba Laptop.
Thanks in advance.
PS
Running Vista Home Premium that goes with laptop. 100 mb network is working ok.

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

Try resetting your network settings.

HT1178 i am setting u a new time capsule. i already have a wifi setup in my office. now i want to use this time capsule just as a wireless backup machine. do i still need to attached a DSL cable, or it can connect to my existing wifi and start working ?

You probably can, but this type of configuration is not recommended or supported by Apple.
Two cautions if you want to try this:
1) The Time Capsule has to be configured to "Join" your existing wireless network in this type of setup...and to do that, you must know the exact type of wireless security that your network is using.
2) Backups are likely going to take twice as long. The wireless signal must travel from your computer to the wireless router and then from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule. Two "hops"......even if the computer is located close to the Time Capsule.
If you want to try this, we can tell you how....but with no guarantees on your results....since this is not officially supported.

I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

How can I have one "family" Apple ID and two icloud accounts one for me and one for the wife?

MacVirgin!Just got new Air and iMac (iphones on the way). How can I have one Apple ID but two iCloud accounts (one for me and one for my wife)? I have set up one iCloud account and am attempting to share contacts between iMac, iCloud and Air, however iMac and iCloud are not in sync? I must be missing something very simple.

ok. I set up the imac and Air with one user account. this was used to activae iCloud on both machines and I have now se up one iCloud account and managed to share calander and contacts between the two. Ultimately both me and my wife will have an iphone and we wish to share calenders and contacts. We both also use the imac and air on one user account. It looks like I need to set another user account then activate iCloud in my wifes Apple ID
