Self test

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 within the computerís BIOS.
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 as well as PC Card
and memory module 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 Real Time Clock
battery. These resources are interrelated and any one could affect apparent
power problems. This section provides check lists 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 case, contact your dealer.
Overheating power down
If the computer’s internal temperature becomes too high, the computer will
automatically shut down
