Equium L10-300: Cannot see my Wlan router!

I have a Toshiba Equium L10 300 laptop with an internal Infocomm IPN 2220 wireless network card.
The laptop is running Windows XP Home SP2 and ConfigFree. I have updated the wireless drivers to the latest version.
I am trying to connect the laptop to a Belkin ADSL Modem with Wireless G Router (Model: FSD7632-A)
The wireless button is turned on.
When I refresh the wireless LANs in either windows or configFree, I can see every wireless LAN SSID on my street (which are also 54G) apart from mine. I have a other laptop which quite happily connects to the Belkin. The L10 stubbornly refuses to acknowledge its existence.
Does anyone have any idea why this is?
Any help woud be much appreciated.
Regards,
Alasdair

Hi
The WLan card seems to works because the other WLans are visible.
In my knowledge the integrated Ambit minPCI WLan card support 802.11b/g wireless technology.
I would recommend switching the mode to G only. This can be done in device manager -> WLan card properties -> advanced tab
Please also check if the Wlan card uses the same channel like Wlan router.

Equium L10-300 - Question about BIOS password

Hey all hope you can help a new user please.
Had a customer bring in an Equium L10-300 notebook. Somehow a password has been put on the BIOS and the boot up so I cannot do anything with it. I cannot boot from a CD and Ive tried a USB floppy, it looks at the floppy once and then just carries on to the password area. I was going to attempt a BIOS flash you see.
Im guessing maybe taking the bios battery out might help? But not sure where it is or how to get to it. Any links to manuals etc would be nice. Ive read that some newer Toshibas have special security chips now that hold the passwords etc.
Any help would be great thanks, really need to get this fixed.
Mark

Hello Mark
If you have customer I presume you work for one authorized service. The fact is that every authorized service has exact description how to remove BIOS password on each notebook model.
So if you are trying to remove BIOS password I cannot imagine you work for some baker. So much about your job.
Other important thing is that BIOS removal procedure is kind of top secret information and cannot be theme for public discussion. This information cannot be posted here. This will be great help for all people who try to enter stolen notebooks. Do you agree with me?
If your customer needs professional help send him to nearest Toshiba authorized service provider. They will know how to remove BIOS password.

Need some help with OS installation on Equium L10-300

Hello,
I am basically trying to do something really simple. But thanks to me being unfortunate enough to actually of bought such a diabolically bad computer, I know am on a forum trying to solve a jokishly simplistic problem.
When I try to format my computer, I am not being allowed, the Equim requests I insert some specific CD.
When I try to re-install windows it also tells me I need a certain CD.
I rang up Toshiba last year when I initially needed to format, they told me that its a lock, and that I have to pay money to get a new CD. I cant even explain how horribly messed up that is. How can a huge company get away with obstructing my human rights?
As a computer owner I should obtain the right to use any operating system I please.
Having some fascists dictate what OS I use is totally ridiculous and go's against what my basic rights. Its absolutely sickening
I need to know how to bypass this stupid system lock. Its totally illegal.
Someone please tell me how I can fix this horrible problem.

I understand you very well but let us write about all this.
Generally speaking every Toshiba notebook is delivered with preinstalled operating system. According your notebook specification your Equium L10-300 (PSL17E-XXXXX) is originally delivered with Windows XP Home (factory settings) and specification says this notebook model is delivered with recovery CD and Tools & Utilities Medias. I don't know if you got them or not.
Anyway when you bought your notebook you have already paid one license for preinstalled operating system. Of course nobody force you to use exact this recovery image (factory settings) and you can install your own operating system. Nothing is blocked or locked and because of that Toshiba offers drivers, tools and utilities on official support page. That means you can, for example, install WXP Professional on your notebook. WXP is supported and all necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads.
Please check this page. Just choose your notebook model and you will see all WXP drivers, tools and utilities are there. Toshiba has also offered Installations Instructions document (the first one on the list) to help you with WXP installation. If you want to have own and clean preinstalled WXP just follow this installations order.
I believe this is good argument for you to see that nothing is locked. If you want to have factory settings again you need to install operating system using Toshiba recovery CD. If you don't have one you must order it. BUT you must not do this. Just install operating system using Microsoft installations CD/DVD.
You can try to install Windows2000, Linux whatever you want. There is just one question: where to find all necessary drivers. For your notebook model Toshiba supports WXP and Vista only.
So can you please tell me which installations CDs you have and which OS you want to install?

Equium L10-300 - battery failure

Hi
Can anyone tell me if the battery fails on the laptop Equium L10-300 it will not power up with the mains lead/charger pluged in?

Hi
First of al you will get some suggestions here in the forum if you want to be 100% sure what part is faulty or malfunctions, then you will need to contact an notebook technician and he could check the hardware.
Now my opinion; if the notebook cannot power up even if the AC adaptor is plugged in, then this has nothing to do with the notebooks battery but with the internal parts like for example power supply electronic on the motherboard.
If the battery would be faulty, you should still be able to use the notebook connected to AC adaptor. Right?
So I think your issue is not related to the battery Im not sure what could be wrong but first of all the AC adaptor and RAM should be checked if the both parts would be ok then there must be another serious issue as I suggested above maybe motherboard is affected

Equium L10 300: DVD burning & S-Video question

I have a Equium L10 300. I have 2 questions.
1: It says that it is a MULTI recorder but it does not burn to DVD+RW, is this correct ?
2: When I connect to the television via the S-video cable to play a slide show from the laptop the TV screen is blank.
Please help.

Hi
1. it is correct
2. I dont know how you do this slide show but I presume that it can happen if you use LCD display and TV at the same time. Try to set TV only.

Toshiba Equium(L10-300) motherboard needed!

hi ,
i bought toshiba Equium(L10-300) some 3 years ago . The motherboard in not working and is damabed , please guide how can i order it .
thanks
Jamal.

Hello Mo,
Yes you can install Windows XP HE or Pro and then download all the drivers from Toshiba. But the place you bought the Computer from is supposed to furnish the Recovery CD's that came with the machine. If you go back and ask them they should be more then happy to oblige your request, since after all it is not your fault you do not have the CD's. Either way, for now if you want you could install windows normally and download the drivers, and wait for your recovery CD from the store, or you can go to the store, request your Recovery CD, and install it that way once they give you the CD's. Hope this clears up your problems.

Equium L10-300 Heatsink & Fan exchange

The Fan on my sisters laptop has stopped working making the laptop overheat and switch off.
The laptop is an Equium L10-300.
Also the warranty has lapsed which gives us 2 options, have a professional open it up and change the Fan or do it myself.
Does anyone know the model code for the Heatsink & fan assembly and how do I take the machine apart, I've been trying to find a disassembly guide without much look.
Thanks.

Hi dude
Hmm as far as I know you will need a whole cooling module which was designed especially for this Equium series.
Such special Toshiba parts can be purchased from the Toshiba ASP which is responsible for your country!
I recommend to contact the guys and to order such part.
Furthermore you should ask for the further help regarding the cooling module replacement. The notebook disassembling is not easy and a little bit tricky. People without any experience could damage some other parts during the disassembling procedure. Therefore its really advisable to ask some technicians for a help.
Best regards and good luck mate

DVD DL not regonised on Equium L10-300

Hi i have Equium L10-300 - with Intel Celeron M Processor 380 (1.6GHz, 400MHz FSB, 1MB Cache)/ XP HE/ 512MB/ 40GB/ 15TFT/ DVD-SuperMultiDL/ WiFi
and have recently purchased some double layer disk and it won't recognise the disk it just keeps telling me to insert a disk.
The disks that i have purchased are Verbatim double layer DVD + R
Someone help please
Darren

Hello Darren
I am not 100% sure but according the specification for Equium L10-300 your unit has single layer burner and the DL medias can not be burned at all.
Please check in device manager which CD/DVD device your unit has and on this way it is much easier to find the specifications and supported formats that can be burn.
Bye

White screen on my Equium L10-300

Hi all
New to this site but was wondering if anyone can help me. I have a Equium L10-300 and the screen seems to start going white from the corners in till the whole thing goes white. I have found that by pushing on the top of the screen is the only why to get it back to normal.
Does this mean that the screen is broken and needs replacing completely or is this caused by another part? Any one who can shed some light on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
*thanks coop*

The problem is either the lcd screen or the lcd cable.
I have seen this occur in the past while fixing laptops, a gradual change to white followed by the whole screen being filled up white.
If you move the lcd screen backwards and it fixes the issue then I think its a loose lcd cable.

Equium M50 will only connect to WLan router when security is off

MY Equium M50 will only connect to my wireless BELKIN G+ MIMO ROUTER when the security is turned off,
What is the reason for this please?
Blonde Bimbo!!

Hello
Did you mean the WLan encryption which secures the entry to the wireless LAN?
I suppose you have set the encryption (WPA, WEP, etc...) on your WLan router but didnt configure the WLan card.
Well, in my opinion you should check which WLan encryption does the card support and then choose it on the WLan router. The encryption key should be set on the router and on the notebook!

Equium L10 300 Wont start up Blank screen

Hi I wonder if anyone can help or advise me with a start up problem,
It's a Equium laptop L10 300 XP homedition, After running PC doctor to remove Popups and adware my laptop stopped starting up.
Initially on start up after the system check it kept returning a blue warning screen which flashed off very quickly before shutting down and trying to restart this made it very difficult to read but i managed to make out something about a physical memory issue and dump, I managed to access the safe mode options and tried each one of the options including last known good configuration but all failed to start the machine up and just returned the same error message. Then at some point with all my fiddling it now wont even run the system check before crashing it now only does the initial boot which allows me to access the BIOS system F2 and F12 and nothing more.
I have the product recovery disc and even tried it briefly before interupting it When I realised the instructions say it will reformat the drive and I will lose all my data which I dont wish to do.
Is there a way for me to repair this problem or copy extract my data, before using the product recovery disc.
Many thanks in anticipation,

First you should check the memory, it may be corrupting the data. Did you install aftermarket memory recently? Go to www.memtest.org and boot memtest from a floppy disk or CD.
To recover your data, you can remove the HDD and connect it to another PC using a 2.5" USB Adapter. Then put the HDD back in and run recovery.
ps. you can view the blue BSOD code by pressing F8 when Windows starts booting, and select "Disable automatic restart on system failure" in the Menu.

Satellite Pro 6100 - Cannot connect to WLAN router

Hi there,
I have brought a 2nd hand Satellite Pro, Model version SP6100 (PS610E-029ZV-EN), P4 1.7Ghz, 512Mb, 30GB, with Windows 2000 Pro loaded.
I cannot get the wireless to connect to my router. The switch is in the correct position.
I want to change to XP using the key supplied with the laptop from new (dual OS) however I can't get it to reformat using an XP disc at start up or if I use the recovery cd (start with holding C down and release when it runs up) it begins but displays "invalid drive specification" three times and loads Win2000.
Can anyone advise how (or if!) I can reformat as I would like?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Hi Jaba,
I'm quite happy to 'start again' and erase the existing partions via reformatting however I do not know how. I have tried starting with the XP disk in the dvd drive but it starts up in to 2000 without reading the XP disk.
I would prefer WXP than W2000 as it will be for home use.
If you or anyone else can advise on how I proceed from here I would be very grateful.
Cheers All.
