Chapter 10

Troubleshooting

TOSHIBA designed the computer for durability. However, should problems 
occur, following the procedures in this chapter can help to determine the 
cause.

All readers should become familiar with this chapter. Knowing what might 
go wrong can help prevent problems from occurring.

Problem solving process

Resolving problems will be much easier if you observe the following 
guidelines:

■

Stop immediately when you recognize a problem exists. Further action 
may result in data loss or damage. You may destroy valuable problem-
related information that can help solve the problem.

■

Observe what is happening. Write down what the system is doing and 
what actions you performed immediately before the problem occurred. 
If you have a printer attached, print a copy of the screen using 

PrtSc

.

The questions and procedures offered in this chapter are meant as a guide, 
they are not definitive problem solving techniques. Many problems can be 
solved simply, but a few may require help from your dealer. If you find you 
need to consult your dealer or others, be prepared to describe the problem 
in as much detail as possible.
