Chapter 5 Power and Power-Up Modes The computer's power resources include the AC adaptor, battery pack and any internal batteries. This chapter provides details on making the most effective use of these resources, and includes information on charging and changing batteries, tips for saving battery power, and information on the different power-up modes.
Power and Power-Up Modes Table 6-1 Power conditions continued Power on AC adaptor not connected Battery charge is above low battery trigger point • Operates • LED: off Battery charge is below low battery trigger point • Operates • LED: flashes amber Battery charge is exhausted Computer shuts down No battery installed • No operation Power off (no operation) • LED: off Monitoring of power condition As shown in the below table, the DC IN/Battery and Power indicators on the system indicator alert yo
Power and Power-Up Modes If the battery pack becomes too hot while it is being charged, the charge will stop and the DC IN/Battery indicator will go out. When the battery pack's temperature falls to a normal range, charging will resume - this process will occur regardless of whether the computer's power is on or off.
Power and Power-Up Modes Real Time Clock (RTC) battery The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real time clock and calendar function and also maintains the system configuration while the computer is turned off.
Power and Power-Up Modes Charging the batteries When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the DC IN/Battery indicator will flash amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the DC IN/Battery indicator flashes, the computer will enable Hibernation Mode so that you do not lose any data, and automatically turn itself off. You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.
Power and Power-Up Modes Monitoring battery capacity Remaining battery power can be monitored using the following methods. ■ Tapping the battery icon on the Taskbar ■ Via the Battery Status in the Windows Mobility Center window ■ You should wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer before trying to monitor the remaining operating time.
Power and Power-Up Modes Retaining data with power off Refer to User Information Guide about Retaining time. Extending battery life To maximize the life of your battery packs: ■ At least once a month, disconnect the computer from a power source and operate it on battery power until the battery pack fully discharges. Before doing so, follow the steps as detailed below. 1. Turn off the computer's power. 2. Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer's power - if it does not turn on then go to Step 4.
Power and Power-Up Modes ■ Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode. Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it could be lost. ■ In Hibernation Mode, data will be lost if you remove the battery pack or disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed. ■ Do not touch the battery release latch while holding the computer or the battery pack might fall out due to the unintentional release of the battery release latch and cause injuries.
Power and Power-Up Modes 2. Ensure that the battery pack is securely in place and the battery lock (2) is in its lock position. 2 1 2 1 1. Battery pack 2. Battery lock Figure 5-2 Securing the battery pack 3. Turn your computer over. Power-up modes The computer has three different power-up modes as follows: ■ Shut Down Mode : The computer will shut down without saving data - in view of this you must always save your work before you turn the computer off.

Troubleshooting Software Hardware The problems may be caused by your software or disk. If you cannot load a software package, the media may be damaged or the program might be corrupted - in these instances try loading another copy of the software if possible. If an error message appears while you are using a software package you should refer to the documentation supplied with it as this will usually include a problem solving section or a summary of error messages.
Troubleshooting If the self test is successful, the computer tries to load the operating system. If any of the following conditions are present, the self test has failed: ■ The computer stops and does not proceed to display information or messages except for the TOSHIBA logo. ■ Random characters appear on the screen and the system does not function normally. ■ The screen displays an error message.
Troubleshooting Battery If you suspect a problem with the battery, you should check the status of the DC IN/Battery indicator. Please refer to Chapter 5, Power and PowerUp Modes for more information on these indicators, together with general battery operation. 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 (DC IN/Battery indicator does not glow amber).
Troubleshooting Real Time Clock Problem Procedure The following message is Displayed on the screen: RTC Power Failure. Press Home Button and set the date/time in OS. The charge in the Real Time Clock (RTC) battery has run out - you will need to set the date and time in the Date and Time screen of Windows. To access it, tap Start -> Control Panel -> Clock, Language and Region -> Date and Time.
Troubleshooting Problem Procedure MicroSD/SDHC Card error occurs Remove the microSD/SDHC Card from the computer and then reinsert it in order to ensure it is firmly connected. If the problem persists, then you should refer to the documentation supplied with your microSD/SDHC Card for further information. You cannot read a file Check to ensure the required file is actually on the microSD/SDHC Card that is inserted into the computer.
Troubleshooting Problem Procedure Check within the Windows Device Manager application to ensure the sound device is enabled and that the device is properly working. For further information, please refer to "Troubleshooting in Windows" section of Windows Help and Support. Annoying sound is heard In this instance you may be experiencing feedback from the internal microphone. Volume cannot be adjusted during Windows start up or shut down.
Troubleshooting Check to ensure the Bluetooth Manager application is running on the computer and that power to the external Bluetooth device is turned on. Check to ensure that no optional Bluetooth Adaptor is installed in the computer - the built-in Bluetooth hardware cannot operate simultaneously with another Bluetooth controller. If you are still unable to resolve the problem, contact your reseller, dealer or service provider.
Troubleshooting Before you call Some problems you experience may be related to software or the operating system so it is important that you investigate other sources of assistance first. Before contacting TOSHIBA, try the following: ■ Review troubleshooting sections in the documentation supplied with your software and/or peripheral devices.
