Satellite Pro L20 - Can't get WLAN to work

Hi,
I'm having problems with my Satellite Pro L20 after a reinstall. The wlan wont work.
I installed the correct driver but have had no luck.
Any body have the same issue?
Any help would be great

Did you reinstall your notebook with the recovery disk or Microsoft disk?
Which driver did you install?
You should use the driver from the Toshiba website. Check it again:

Maybe a BIOS could also solve the problem.

Satellite Pro P200 - Can't get sound to work

Hi, since I've had this laptop I've not been able to get the sound to work. Have tried turning the volume off and on from the ESC key and the master volume control looks fine. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

Hello Wayne
Please don't be mad on me but whole story is somehow strange. Why?
>since I've had this laptop I've not been able to get the sound to work
This cannot be the truth. Every notebook is preinstalled with Toshiba recovery image and recovery image is designed for your notebook model. That means, with factory settings everything MUST work well.
So questions are:
Do you still use factory settings or own preinstalled OS?
Do you use Vista?
Can you hear sound using headset?
Please offer a little bit more info.

Satellite Pro L20-212 - USB2.0 does not work

Hi,
I own a *Satellite Pro L20-212*, *Windows XP (SP2) is installed, but USB2.0 does not work*. I can't see anything about USB2.0 in the Devicemanager and the speed of the attached USB2.0 devices is at the USB1.1 level.
I don't know which information is needed to help me out with this problem because it should normally work on my notebook (and I know that the notebook has USB2.0 ports).
Do I have to install a special driver in order to use USB2.0 or is there any software on my notebook which I have to enable?
Thank you very much,
Frank

Hi
+Fact is that the notebooks hardware is ok and it seems that you only need to install some MS updates and maybe a chipset driver.+
True.
+But lets begin with the basics? as I??m not mistaken; the Satellite Pro L20 belongs to the PSL2YE. Therefore you have to choose this series number if you download the drivers.+
That's what I did.
+On the Toshiba European driver page you will find the Intel Chip Set Utility. Please install it firstly. Do you have an ATI card? If yes install the graphic driver from the Toshiba page because this driver contains the chipset driver for the units with ATI graphic card!!!+
I have an ATI card and I installed the driver from the Toshiba page which includes the chipset driver. That's the first driver I installed on my notebook.
+Secondly you will find the Quick Fix Engineering on the Toshiba page. These are the MS updates which must be installed!!!+
Every single update of Microsoft for Windows XP is installed, so this shouldn't be the problem
+Then the USB ports should be correctly recognized in the device manager and should work.+
USB is recognized, but not as USB 2.0 :-(
+By the way; you should test the USB ports with different external USB devices to ensure that it??s not a USB device malfunction?+
I did that, too. And I used the same decives on Ubuntu to test the USB 2.0 function. And everything worked perfectly.
That's tricky. I don't have the slightest idea what I can do now. The hardware works, the drivers are correct, but it still doesn't work. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
But thank you very much Gipsyman!

T500: Can't get WLAN to work!! HELP

Hey all, new to the Lenovo community so sorry if I sound like a noob.
I just bought a Thinkpad T500- 2056 CTO (Vista Business) from a colleague of mine. I searched the internet for the specs of this notebook and saw that it was equipped with an integrated WLAN card but I can't get it to work. I checked the Network Adapters in the Device Manager but there was only an Ethernet Gigabit driver. I tried downloading the only 2 different drivers that Lenovo's Support and Downloads has but that didn't work. Can anyone help me out? I'd greatly appreciate it.

What specifically did you look at on the internet to determine the spects of a 2056-CTO ?

Satellite Pro L20 -can anyone tell me whether I have a problem with screen?

Hi,
I have a Pro L20 - PSL25E and i have recently been having problems with the screen, it has been intermittently flickering/losing colour and almost whiting out (when the colour fades white vertical lines start to appear).
This seemed to become worse after i dropped it (only from about 2 feet off the ground not a big drop).
I thought the sceen may be going, but the perfomance of the laptop seems to be affected when this is happening, the laptop has started to run very slow (the mouse tracks slow, programs I've clicked take ages to run and it sometimes freezes until it stops flickering) which had me thinking it might be a virus or perfomance issue.
My screen drivers are up to date, i ran a full scan with McAfee, ran a system clear-up and a defrag.
I was wondering if anyone knew whether this seemed like a problem with the screen connections and would need replacing or whether it could be repaired, or whether it was a perfomance issue?
Any help would be much appreciate thanks!
Rebecca.

Sounds like the Graphics chip has a problem, which I think is a Mainboard replacement.
You can get a quote for the repair at an Authorized Service Provider. There is an ASP list on the Toshiba website.

Satellite Pro M70: Can not get the TV OUT working

I have connected my laptop to my TV via the TV-OUT socket and a 4 pin S-Video lead. I have turned on the TV as an output in the advanced settings of my graphics card. I have selected TV via the Fn-F5 keys and I get nothing on my television.
Can anyone suggest what I might have left out to make this work?
The S-Video lead is new and the hook up to the TV is via a Joytech AV Control Center 2.
The Joytech unit is operational and the video lead appears OK as the Fn-F5 key press indicates that a TV is available - this disappears as an option if I unplug the video lead from the Joytech unit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Lorraine,
I presume that the TV is actually switched to your Joytech AV device ? I presume it gives some kind of signal so that you check that the TV can actually detect it. I once spent a happy few hours trying to use my TV in this way only to find it was switched to the composite inputs not the S-Video one. ;-)

Satellite A350-20S - Can't get FN keys working

Hi,
I recently formatted the hard disk and installed Vista home premium again because it was running slow. Before formatting I had disabled the touch pad from using becasue I found it very uncomfortable to use. Therefore instead of that I was using an optical mouse. Once I installed Vista the touch pad was not working and the Fn key was not responding to F1,F2-F9.. The strange thing is when I press the Fn key the light goes on and indicates its working and when I press Fn+F10, the num lock gets on and when I press Fn+F11 it goes to normal qwerty keyborad.
I have downloaded all the drivers for the laptop including the touch pad driver from TOSHIBA offical webpage and tried every known trick in the book but still truggling to get this Function key panel working? Your help is highly appreciated.
My laptop is still under warranty but I am scared to send it over becasue they would go like you hav formatted the hard disk even I hav installed the same OS that I already had.
Thats the main reason to post this. Hear me out plz

Hi buddy,
I doubt that you have downloaded everything from the Toshiba website, otherwise your FN keys would work properly! ;)
Anyway, for the FN keys you have to install Toshiba Value Added Package. With this package its also possible to enable/disable the touchpad. It brings all FN keys to work.

Satellite Pro L20 - broken hinge baseplate - where to get the parts?

Hi there ,
First post on here so please excuse any lack of local etiquette.
My son has a Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 with a broken Hinge baseplate. I'm am calling it a baseplate as i cannot find the name of the part anywhere on the web so far.
Its obviously the metal plate on the base that the hinge attaches to.
You can even see it if you remove the battery.
Does anyone know what this part is called and where i could possibly purchase one ?
Kind regards
Jimmy

Hi
I think in such case the Toshiba ASP (authorized service partner) could help you.
You have to get in contact with this ASP in your country and the technician should be able to order a compatible part for the notebook.
Here you can find all ASPs worldwide:

Wireless network adaptor installation on Satellite Pro L20

Hi there,
I have just bought a Satellite Pro L20 but it had been rebooted before I received it and the previous owner obviously didnt have the Toshiba drivers disk. Can anyone please give me a link to get the installation file for the wireless network adaptor card. I have been into device manager - network adaptors and the wireless adaptor isnt listed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello
All stuff you need you can find on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Support Homepage > Download drivers.
There you can find WLAN drivers for Intel and Atheros WLAN card. Before installation check which one you have.

What is the fastest CPU I could put in Satellite Pro L20

This is a desperate request for help!!
The Football Manager 2010 is coming out soon and my laptop needs to be up to scratch.
I know I need to upgrade it because Football Manager 2009 nearly killed it!
At the moment I have 1.4ghz Intel Celeron M chip and 704mb of ram.
What is the fastest chip I could put in? I've done a bit of research and found I can only have 2gb of ram
The laptop is in perfect working order so I don't want to buy a new one just for the sake of it and its served me well over the last 4 years - I've dropped it enough times! Just need to speed it up a bit!

Hmm... Do you really want to upgrade the pretty old Satellite Pro L20? I mean new notebooks are not so expensive anymore and I doubt that you will get a strong performance boost with new CPU.
Anyway, in your notebook is only the preinstalled CPU pretested and nobody is able to say what other CPUs will run. But you should look on the specifications for other Satellite Pro L20 notebooks. If another L20 is equipped with faster CPU, it should also work in yours. You can try it but in worst case it will not work.
Good luck!

Satellite Pro L20 doesn't work properly with USB Fast Track audio i.f.

Hello!
I have used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had problems with it. I could set low latency and I did few songs with it.
Yesterday I bought another notebook, thinking of home recording studio. It's used Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It doesn't work properly with my interface. When I listen music on Winamp or do anything on Fruity Loops I hear loud clicks, pops, noises. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback or after a sample is stopped.
I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba anymore?! The only drivers for chipset are very old and you can download em only from Toshiba website. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200M. Its drivers are with graphic card. Recently I noticed you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK IT to make it possible to install on mobile unit such as L20. Yep its funny but its impossible to do otherwise!
things I have tried and they still not help:
# drivers replacement, original were released in 2004. I installed recent version.
# driver settings, low latency, high latency
# asio and different settings
# pluging the interface to another usb socket.
# trying what happens when I use battery and when I use adapter
# updated bios
# turned off onboard units such as wifi card, sound card
# checked IRQ list
pops still appear.
my config:
Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
Win XP Home SP3
Celeron M 1,5GHz
896Mb ram
M-Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2
Kind regards

Thanks for answer. I still have L40 but I try to run my homerecording on L20. The L40 is now used by whole my family. It's possible to swap them but there's a problem - L20 has Norway keyboard and I'm the only person at home who doesn't often look down while typing. In Poland, we use standard ms keyboard. I'd buy special stickers, it's about only to make special chars get back to their places.
I installed Windows on this computer end set it to best performance possible.
Since I created this thread, guys from M-Audio support tried to solve my problem - nothing helped. I think potential solutions are exhausted.

Need to reinstall windows but don't have any CD - Satellite Pro L20

Hi, I wanted to reinstall Windows XP home onto my Satellite Pro L20, but don't have any of the software my laptop came with (read lost the disks). I have a valid XP home key (as its stuck on the bottom of my laptop) but no disc so I tired using a copy of a Windows XP home cd, which didn't work, but did let me get as far as formatting the hard drive.
So right now I'm using Ubuntu, but want to reinstall Windows. Have valid product key but no software to reinstall.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Christopher

Are you kidding now?
Do you understand English or what?
I will try to be clear enough and constructive too in hope you will understand your situation.
Some facts for you:
- Recovery image *CANNOT* be downloaded
- Following link http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com >Support & Downloads you can find all drivers, tools and utilities for your notebook model
So back to your situation:
For clean OS installation you have *_two_* options only:
- if possible order new copy by Toshiba authorized service provider in your country *do you have more questions about that?*
- you can install operating system using Microsoft installations CD *if you don't have it, it is your problem*
Can you please tell me if all this is clear now?
If you have more questions please ask.

Satellite Pro L20 - No colour on TV

Satellite Pro L20 PS25E with Intel 915 mobile videocard is connected to PAL TV and gives only bw picture. Settings set to PAL BG in videocard, still only B&W picture. Other forums say this card ALWAYS give NTSC picture and cannot produce PAL coulour. Is this true?
Hope not, as I bought three laptops of this type and was wanting to connect these to tv's throughout the home. Any help appreciated;)

Hi,
I'm using the same cable that I used with my other laptops, a regular yellow cinch cable that goes directly into my front connection of the tv.
This cable works with other laptops, cameras, ... The installed driver is model 6.14.10.4656, if i try to update it from the Toshiba site, i can only get the 6.14.10.4332. So i definately have the latest driver;)
The only thing that is "not correct" is that I'm using Vista on this machine instead of the previous installed XP ( all the Toshiba drivers are for XP), but as i am able to have everything else working from keyboard to soundcard and wireless, this should not be a problem. When i connect the laptop through the VGA port to a lcd projector, it comes in colour.
When using the cinch on the tv-out i can use whatever setting i want from all the NTSC and PAL choices, it's always in black and white. When i search for it on google, others say this series is NOT able to produce PAL as it is native set to NTSC.
I cannot believe nor accept this as these models are all from the Belgian market and we do not use NTSC at all.
I can try and hook up another model of this on a TV at work (which still has xp on it) and see if the operatiting system has something to do with it but i doubt it.
This is really bugging me as i normally resolve my mess on my own;)
Thanks for helping out!

Which Recovery CD to use with Satellite Pro L20?

We have several Toshiba laptops in use in our company. I need to restore one (a Satellite Pro L20) to factory settings. However, although I have kept all the recovery CDs, most of them have labels which don't mention which model they are meant to be used on. On some of them I wrote the model number on the label by hand, but I haven't done this for the L20. I know from experience that if I get the wrong recovery CD, I'll have to put the dozens of device drivers and utilities on individually, so finding the right one would save me a lot of time and stress.
Each recovery CD has a part number (e.g. GMR400626EN1), so it should be possible to identify the correct CD from this, but I can find no such info on Toshiba's web site.
Is there a list that matches Recovery CD part numbers to laptop models?

Hello
Such info is definitely not available on Toshiba support site. What you can try is to contact authorized service partner in your country. They have access to Toshiba data base and I am pretty sure they can help you.
If you need addresses and phone numbers please check https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com Support & Downloads Find an Asp.
Bye and good luck!

Hotkey prompts at start up on Satellite Pro L20

Hi,
Every time my laptop starts (Satellite Pro L20) I get a prompt for hotkey, can anybody tell me how to stop this happening all the time.
Thanks for all your help in advance
Rob

Yeah sorry about that, after I posted the message I reallised I should have been more specific as to the nature of the prompt.
Anyway when my laptop starts I get the hotkey prompt of " Display a standby confirmation if Fn+F3 is pushed" and also "Display a Hibernation confirmation if Fn+F4 is pushed" This is in the form of a pop up box with tick box's next to them.
I hope this is of help in explaining the fault, I did do a screen print of the messsage but I dont seem to be able to add it to the message.
Cheers Rob
