Hardware and system checklist

This section discusses problems caused by your computer’s hardware or

attached peripherals. Basic problems may occur in the following areas:

System start-up

When the computer does not start properly, check the following items:

Self Test

Power Sources

Power-on Password

Software

The problems may be caused by your software or disk. If

you cannot load a software package, the media may be

damaged or the program might be corrupted. Try loading

another copy of the software.
If an error message appears while you are using a software

package, check the software documentation. These

documents usually include a problem solving section or a

summary of error messages.
Next, check any error messages in the operating system

documentation.

Hardware

If you cannot find a software problem, check your

hardware. First run through the items in the preliminary

checklist above. 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 PC. Use of incompatible devices may cause injury or

may damage your PC.
