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!

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 (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?
wooytson

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: 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: 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

Satellite Pro 4600 PS460E-O4NVXEN - WiFi driver

Hello There,
Even with the information given, I am unable to locate my client's machine in the Toshiba's website.
No doubt I'm doing something wrong, so can anyone tell me the exact model info please?

Hi
The Satellite Pro 4600 is an oldie and all Toshiba drivers can be found on the Toshiba European driver page in ARCHIVE area!!!
So take a look into Archive -> Satellite Pro -> Satellite Pro 46xx
Bye

Satellite L20-217 does not start up

Hi,
can anyone help?
I have a Satellite L20-217 and it just stopped working on the other day.
It was plugged in with the AC-adapter, all of a sudden message came on screen saying my battery was low then within a minute the whole machine stopped working.
Ive bought a new power pack and its still not turning on. Ive took the battery out for 2 minutes etc.. and still nothing; theres no sound and no lights.
When the battery is in and the adapter is on trough the mains I still get nothing but if I press the power button the left hand LED flashes for a few seconds then nothing again.
I really need to get this working as Iam a tattoist, piercer and hairdresser and it has all my designs etc. on it.
Thx for any help given

Hi,
no it won't start up at all. Battery in or out.
Like i said before when battery and mains in and i press the power button, the left LED flashes orange for a few secs and then nothing.

Satellite C650D-113 - WiFi driver not working on Windows XP

The wifi-driver downloadable from Toshibas site is not working it seems, it installs as if it's all correct, removing the yellow exclamation mark from the device manage. But the "wireless network connection" icon that is supposed to appear in the network connections folder does not appear and this is where I am stuck.
Or maybe it wasnt the driver, downloaded and installed the wireless lan client manager because there were no specific "wifi driver" to download.

Yep, checked the fn+f8 before posting, and it's on. A new problem has arisen now aswell, the audio driver won't install with the message "ERROR: driver installation failed: could not find the MEDIA device for this driver." What gives?
Edit: Allright, the driver from the link given worked, awesome, thanks! Only sound left that needs to work and I'm set. :)

In some cases modem in Satellite L20 doesn't work

Hello,
a friend had bought a Satellite L20 last summer. In January she began to work on the Internet irregularly but has experienced trouble. So I looked after the notebook last week:
When trying to connect to the Internet the connection to the provider sometimes fails. If she finally gets the connection there often occurs the message that the page couldn't be found and only after clicking on the button "Refresh" several times the page finally shows up. But oddly enough, every time I disconnected the power supply the connection became noticeable better.
(Win XP; driver/diagnostics: no problems showed up; provider works fine on different computers)
Unfortunately, there was no chance to check the connection right there with different hardware. I can't tell if the last driver is installed but think so because of the date of purchase. So, my guess is that the power cable isn't sufficiently shielded. But if so what to do? Or what else could be the reason for the unexpected behavior of the modem?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello
I have heard about similar problem on some other Satellite model. Solution was to install modem driver from Satellite A110. Please dont ask me why but test it.
The modem driver you can find HERE
Good luck!

Network controller& USB controller driver not found and wifi not working

hello I Purchased HP 15-ac025TX (M9V00PA) Notebook laptop . i have installed all driver from HP site here is the link  http://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771404/model/8326084#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1  but still netwok controller driver not found also wifi not working i installed blutooth drivers too . I am using window 7 sp1 (32 bit) For network controller device ID is PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4365&SUBSYS_804A103C&REV_01 secondly univeral serial bus driver(usb) controller not found i installed all drivers from above link also update windows but still no solution hardware id of usb controller is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9CB1@SUBSYS_80C2103C&REV_03  and last i am unable to download AMD/Intel Switchable High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver. the download link not working KINDLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE THANK YOU

Update: While the driver I knew would work has not shown up yet, I did some detective work and explored some other broadcom wireless card driver folders from some HP links, and I found one that should work for you. While it says it is for HP desktop PC's, they put the exact same wireless card form factor in a desktop PC that they do in a notebook PC. I see no reason why this driver would not work, since the setup information file contains the same hardware ID that you posted. Here is a partial copy and paste of the driver setup information file and you can see the hardware ID you posted is supported by this driver.  x86 - Win7

Satellite L300 - after Win8 load DVD drive is not working

I have just loaded Windows 8 on my Satellite L300. The DVD no longer works with an error message 39 it says the driver is corrupt. Also external attached DVD's are not recognised. I cannot find a driver to reload.
Any suggestions.
Regards

Check this article:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/bulletinDetail.jsp?pf=true&soid=3516888
If the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator or TOSHIBA Disc Creator are installed on the HDD, there might be a issue between Win 8 and mentioned software
So uninstall these tools, then restart your PC using the Power-->Restart option in Windows 8. Your CD/DVD should be accessible now.
