Troubleshooting Guide
Problems when you turn on the computer
The computer starts, but then shuts down and the on/off
light glows amber and blinks.
The computer has become too hot, so it has automatically shut
down. Leave the computer turned off until its interior has reached
room temperature (88 degrees Fahrenheit/30 degrees Celsius or
less).
If the computer will not start after it has been turned off for a
while, remove the battery and reinsert it. For instructions on
removing the battery, see “Changing batteries” on page 118.
The computer starts but, when you press a key on the
keyboard or touch the AccuPoint II, nothing happens.
To clear the condition, press Ctrl, Alt, and Del simultaneously.
Clearing the condition may get you running, but it won't solve a
resource conflict. Read the documentation that came with the
conflicting device and “Resolving a hardware conflict” on
page 203.
The message “Boot system has changed” appears.
Wait for the setting change to be completed. This may take several
minutes.
The message “Bad XXXX XXXX” appears after the
Toshiba logo is displayed.
Press F1 to enter the setup screen. Then press Home to make sure
the computer settings are at their default values.
The message “Warning: XXXX” appears after the Toshiba
logo is displayed.
Press Enter several times.
