Troubleshooting

Self test

When the computer starts up, the self test will be run automatically, and the

following will be displayed:

This message remains on the screen for a few seconds.
If the self test is successful, the computer tries to load the operating

system, depending on how the Boot Priority is set in the TOSHIBA HW

Setup program.
If any of the following conditions are present, the self test failed:

The computer stops and does not proceed to display information or

messages except the TOSHIBA logo.

Random characters appear on the screen, and the system does not

function normally.

The screen displays an error message.

Turn off the computer and check all cable connections. If the test fails

again, contact your dealer.

Power

When the computer is not plugged into an AC outlet, the battery pack is the

primary power source. However, your computer has a number of other power

resources, including an intelligent power supply and a Real Time Clock

battery. These resources are interrelated and any one could affect apparent

power problems. This section provides checklists for AC power and the

battery. If you cannot resolve a problem after following them, the cause could

lie with another power resource. In such a case, contact your dealer.

Overheating power down

If the computer's internal temperature becomes too high, the computer will

automatically enter Hibernation Mode or Standby Mode and shut down.

If the computer has reached room temperature and still does not start, or if

it starts but shuts down quickly contact your dealer.

AC power

If you have trouble turning on the computer with the AC adaptor connected,

check the Battery indicator. Refer to Chapter 6,

Power and Power-Up

Modes

for more information.
