Overheating power down
If the processor's temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with
either setting, the computer will automatically shut down to prevent any
damage - in this instance all unsaved data in memory will be lost.
Problem Procedure
Computer shuts
down automatically. Leave the computer off until the it reaches room
temperature. If the computer has reached room
temperature and it still does not start, or if it starts
but shuts down quickly, contact TOSHIBA Support.
AC power
If you have trouble turning on the computer with the AC adaptor connected
you should check the status of the DC IN/Battery indicator. Please refer to
the
Power Condition Descriptions section for further information.
Problem Procedure
AC adaptor doesn’t
power the computer Check the connections to make sure that the
power cord/adaptor is firmly connected to the
computer and a working power outlet.
Check the condition of the cord and terminals. If
the cord is frayed or damaged it should be
replaced, while if the terminals are soiled, they
should be cleaned with a clean cotton cloth.
If the AC adaptor still does not power the
computer, you should contact TOSHIBA Support.
Battery
If you suspect a problem with the battery, you should check the status of
the DC IN/Battery indicator.
Problem Procedure
Battery doesn’t
power the computer The battery may be discharged - connect the AC
adaptor to recharge the battery.
Battery doesn’t
charge when the AC
adaptor is attached. If the battery is completely discharged, it will not
begin charging immediately, in these instances you
should wait a few minutes before trying again. If
the battery still does not charge, you should check
that the power outlet the AC adaptor is connected
to is supplying power - this can be tested by
plugging another appliance into it.
