If Something Goes Wrong

Develop good computing habits

Restart the Windows

®

 operating system. Always restart the 

Windows

®

 operating system after each installation, even if the 

installation utility does not prompt you to do so. This will 
ensure that the installation is completed, and will clean up 
anything that the installation utility left behind.

Do one installation at a time. If you have several new items to 
add to your computer system, install just one at a time, creating 
restore points immediately before each successive installation. 
This will make it much easier to determine the origin of any 
new problems. For best results, follow this sequence:

1

Back up critical data.

2

Create a restore point.

3

Install one item of hardware or software.

4

Restart the Windows

®

 operating system.

5

Use the new hardware or software for a while, noting any 
new problems. Make sure that your critical applications 
(email, business applications, etc.) are working correctly, 
and verify that important devices are still functioning.

6

For each additional hardware or software item, repeat 
these steps, starting at step 1 if any of your critical data has 
changed, or starting at step 2 if no critical data has 
changed.

USB Sleep and Charge is not working.

USB Sleep and Charge may be disabled. Open the TOSHIBA Sleep 
and Charge utility to check if the feature is disabled and to enable it 
if necessary.

Make sure that the device you want to charge is connected to a 
port that supports the USB Sleep and Charge function. Ports 
that support this feature are identified with the (

) icon.

USB Sleep and Charge may be disabled. Open the TOSHIBA 
Sleep and Charge utility to check if the feature is disabled and 
to enable it if necessary. For more information, see 

“Enabling/Disabling USB Sleep and Charge” on page 104

.

Try selecting a different charging mode in the TOSHIBA Sleep 
and Charge utility, if your computer provides more than one 
charging mode. For more information, see 

“Power supply 

mode settings” on page 104
