If Something Goes Wrong

Resolving a hardware conflict

Check the power options using the Power Management utility. Have
you added a device, such as an ExpressCard

®

or memory module,

that takes its power from the battery? Is your software using the
hard disk more? Is the display power set to turn off automatically?
Was the battery fully charged to begin with? All these conditions
affect how long the charge lasts.

After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at
maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for
all batteries. To purchase a new battery pack, see your accessories
information that shipped with your computer, or visit the Toshiba
Web site at

accessories.toshiba.com.

Refer to this site often to stay

current on the most recent software and hardware options for your
computer, and for other product information.

For more information on maintaining battery power, see

batteries” on page 99

Keyboard problems

If, when you type, strange things happen or nothing happens, the
problem may be related to the keyboard itself.

You have connected an external keyboard and the operating
system displays one or more keyboard error messages.

The keyboard you connected may be defective or incompatible with
the computer. Try using a different make of keyboard.

Nothing happens when you press the keys on the external
keyboard.

You may have plugged the external keyboard in while the computer
was turned on. Using the computer’s TouchPad, click Start, then
either Shut Down or Turn off computer, and then Restart the
Computer. The computer will restart and recognize the device.

Display problems

Here are some typical display problems and their solutions:

The screen is blank.

Display Auto Off may have gone into effect. Press any key to
activate the screen.

You may have activated the instant password feature by pressing

Fn

and

F1

simultaneously. If you have registered a password, press

any key, type the password and press

Enter

. If no password is

registered, press any key. The screen reactivates and allows you to
continue working.
