Chapter 6 Troubleshooting TOSHIBA has designed this computer for durability, however, should problems occur you are able to use the procedures detailed in this chapter to help determine the cause. You should become familiar with this chapter as knowing what might go wrong can help prevent problems from occurring in the first place. Problem-solving process If you observe the following guidelines, resolving problems will be much easier.
Check all cables to ensure that they are correctly and firmly attached to the computer - loose cables can cause signal errors. Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for loose pins. Check that your disc media is correctly loaded Always try to make detailed notes of your observations and keep them in a permanent error log - this helps you to describe your problems to TOSHIBA Support. In addition, if a problem recurs, the log you have made helps to identify the problem faster.
Hardware If you cannot find a software problem, you should then check the setup and configuration of your hardware. First run through the items in the preliminary checklist as described previously then, if you still cannot correct the problem, try to identify the source. The next section provides checklists for individual components and peripherals.
Verify that the computer is on by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is glowing, the computer is on. Also, try turning the computer off and then on. If you are using an AC adaptor, verify that the computer is receiving power from the external power source by looking at the DC IN/Battery indicator. If the indicator is glowing, the computer is connected to a live external power source.
Power Keyboard Internal display panel Hard Disk Drive Memory Media Card Pointing Device USB device Sound system External monitor Wireless LAN Bluetooth Power When the computer is not plugged into an AC power outlet, the battery pack is the primary power source. Your computer also has Real-Time Clock (RTC) function. All of the power resources are interrelated with anyone having the ability to produce apparent power problems.
Battery If you suspect a problem with the battery, check the status of the DC IN/ Battery indicator. Problem Procedure Battery does not power the computer The battery might be discharged. Connect the AC adaptor to recharge the battery. Battery does not If the battery is completely discharged, it will not charge when the AC begin charging immediately. In these instances, adaptor is attached. wait a few minutes before trying again.
Problem Procedure Output to screen is garbled Refer to your software documentation to ensure that it is not remapping the keyboard in any way (remapping involves changing or reassigning the function of each key). If you are still unable to use the keyboard, you should contact TOSHIBA Support. Internal display panel Apparent problems of the computer's display panel might be related to setup and configuration of the computer.
Problem Procedure Slow performance The files on the Hard Disk Drive might be fragmented. In this instance, you should run the disk Defragmentation utility to check the condition of your files and the Hard Disk Drive. Refer to the operating system's documentation or online Help File for further information on operating and using the Defragmentation utility. As a last resort, you should reformat the Hard Disk Drive and then reload the operating system and all other files and data.
Touch Pad Problem Procedure The Touch Pad does Check the Device Select settings. not work. Click Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Mouse under Windows System group in the Apps view. On-screen pointer does not respond to pointing device operation In this instance, the system might be busy. Try moving the mouse again after waiting a short while.
USB mouse Problem Procedure On-screen pointer does not respond to mouse operation In this instance, the system might be busy. Try moving the mouse again after waiting a short while. Remove the mouse from the computer and then reconnect it to a free USB port in order to ensure that it is firmly attached. Double-clicking does In this instance, you should initially try changing not work the double-click speed setting within the Mouse Control utility. 1. 2. 3.
Problem Procedure USB device does not Remove the USB device from the computer and work then reconnect it to a free port in order to ensure that it is firmly attached. Ensure that any required USB device drivers are properly installed. To achieve this, you should refer to both the device documentation and the operating system documentation. Sound system In addition to the information in this section, also refer to the documentation supplied with your audio device.
Problem Procedure Monitor does not turn on After confirming that the monitor's power switch is on, check the connections to make sure that the power cord/adaptor is firmly connected to the monitor and to a working power outlet. No display Try adjusting the contrast and brightness controls on the external monitor. Press the function key in order to change the display priority and ensure that it is not set for the internal display only. Check to see if the external monitor is connected.
Bluetooth Problem Procedure Cannot access Bluetooth device Check to ensure that the wireless communication function of the computer is on. Check to ensure that the Bluetooth Manager application is running on the computer and that power to the external Bluetooth device is turned on. Check to ensure that no optional Bluetooth Adaptor is installed in the computer. The built-in Bluetooth hardware cannot operate simultaneously with another Bluetooth controller.
