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.

 

 

Before using a peripheral device or application software that is not an authorized TOSHIBA part or product, make sure the device or software can be used with your computer. Use of incompatible devices may cause injury or may damage your computer.

If something goes wrong

Your computer does not respond to the keyboard commands

If an error occurs and the computer does not respond to your keyboard commands, follow the steps below:

Press the power button and hold it down for five seconds. Once the computer has turned itself off, wait between ten and fifteen seconds before turning the power on again by pressing the power button.

Your program stops responding

If you are working with a program that suddenly freezes all operations, chances are the program has stopped responding. You can exit the failed program without shutting down the operating system or closing other programs.

To close a program that has stopped responding:

1.Press CTRL, ALT, and DEL simultaneously (once), then click Task Manager. The Windows Task Manager window appears.

2.Select the program you want to close, then click End Task. Closing the failed program should allow you to continue working. If it does not, continue with the next step.

3.Close the remaining programs one by one by selecting the program name, then End Task. Closing all programs should allow you to continue working. If it does not, power off your computer and then restart it.

The computer will not start

Make sure you attached the AC adaptor and power cord/cable properly.

If you are using the AC adaptor, check that the wall outlet is working by plugging in another device, such as a lamp.

Verify that the computer is on by looking at the Power indicator.
