All users should become familiar with this chapter as knowing what might go wrong can help prevent problems from occurring in the first place.
Check all cables to ensure they are correctly and firmly attached to the computer - loose cables can cause signal errors. Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for loose pins. Check that your disc media is correctly loaded Always try to make detailed notes of your observations and keep them in a permanent error log - this will help you to describe your problems to TOSHIBA Support. In addition, if a problem recurs, the log you have made will help to identify the problem faster.
Hardware If you cannot find a software problem, you should then check the setup and configuration of your hardware. First run through the items in the preliminary checklist as described previously then, if you still cannot correct the problem, try to identify the source - the next section provides checklists for individual components and peripherals.
If the indicator is glowing, the computer is on. Also, try turning the computer off and then on. If you are using an AC adaptor, verify that the computer is receiving power from the external power source by looking at the DC IN/Battery indicator. If the indicator is glowing, the computer is connected to a live external power source. The computer will not load advanced options during startup By holding down one of the following keys during startup, your computer will load advanced options as shown below.
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.
Problem Procedure Battery doesn’t If the battery is completely discharged, it will not charge when the AC begin charging immediately, in these instances you adaptor is attached. 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 its supplying power - this can be tested by plugging another appliance into it.
Real Time Clock Problem Procedure The BIOS setting and system date/ time are lost. If the RTC battery becomes completely discharged, the realtime clock and calendar will stop working. The RTC battery should be replaced only by your dealer or by a TOSHIBA service representative, and then set the date/time in the TOSHIBA Setup Utility by using the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Click the power icon ( ) on the Start screen and then select Restart.
Problem Procedure Markings appear on the computer's display panel. These marks may have come from contact with the keyboard and Touch Pad while the display panel has been closed. You should try to remove the marks by gently wiping the display panel with a clean dry cloth or, if this fails, with a good quality LCD screen cleaner. In this latter instance you should always follow the instructions with the screen cleaner and always ensure you let the display panel dry properly before closing it.
Problem Procedure You cannot access a Make sure the drive’s disc tray is securely closed. disc in the optical Press gently until it clicks into place. disc drive Open the disc tray and make sure the disc is properly seated. It should lie flat with the label facing up. A foreign object in the disc tray could block laser light from reading the disc. Make sure there is no obstruction. Remove any foreign object. Check whether the disc is dirty.
Problem Procedure On-screen pointer does not respond to pointing device operation In this instance the system might be busy - Try moving the mouse again after waiting a short while. Double-tapping (Touch Pad) does not work In this instance, you should initially try changing the double-click speed setting within the Mouse Control utility. 1. 2. 3. The on-screen pointer moves too fast or too slow In this instance, you should initially try changing the speed setting within the Mouse Control utility. 1.
Problem Procedure Double-clicking does In this instance, you should initially try changing not work the double-click speed setting within the Mouse Control utility. 1. 2. 3. The on-screen pointer moves too fast or too slow In this instance, you should initially try changing the speed setting within the Mouse Control utility. 1. 2. 3. The on-screen pointer moves erratically To access this utility, click Desktop Assist -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Mouse on the desktop.
Sound system In addition to the information in this section, please also refer to the documentation supplied with your audio device. Problem Procedure No sound is heard Press the function keys to increase or decrease volume. Check the software volume settings. Please check to see if Mute is turned to Off Check to make sure the headphone connection is secure. Check within the Windows Device Manager application to ensure the sound device is enabled and that the device is properly working.
Problem Procedure No display Try adjusting the contrast and brightness controls on the external monitor. Press the function key in order to change the display priority and ensure that it is not set for the internal display only. Check to see if the external monitor is connected. When the external monitor is set as the primary display device in extended desktop mode, it will not display when the computer wakes up from Sleep Mode if the external monitor has been disconnected while in Sleep Mode.
Problem Procedure Wake-up on LAN does not work Make sure the AC adaptor is connected. The Wake-up on LAN function consumes power even when the system is off. Check to make sure fast startup is disabled: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Click Desktop Assist -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options on the desktop. Click Choose what the power button does or Choose what closing the lid does. Click Change settings that are currently unavailable. Clear the Turn on fast startup check box.
TOSHIBA support If you require any additional help using your computer or if you are having problems operating the computer, you may need to contact TOSHIBA for additional technical assistance. 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.

In Europe visit http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/bluetooth.htm Wireless Devices and your health Wireless products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless products however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
Always turn off wireless functionality if the computer is near automatic control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or fire detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment, possibly resulting in serious injury. It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the new network (*) will have to be configured for all computers connected to the same network in order to re-enable network connections.
The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials. Range is also impacted due to "obstacles" in the signal path of the radio that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal. Radio Frequency Interference Requirements This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25GHz frequency range.
