If Something Goes Wrong
Keyboard problems
Check the power options via your Power Plans (see “Power
Plans” on page 98). Have you added a device that takes its
power from the battery? Is your software using the internal
storage drive 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 included 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
“Changing the main battery” on page 100.

incompatible with the computer. Try using a different make of
keyboard.
