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.

Bluetooth and Wireless LAN devices operate within the same radio frequency range and might interfere with one another. If you use Bluetooth and Wireless LAN devices simultaneously, you might occasionally experience a less than optimal network performance or even lose your network connection. If you experience any such problem, immediately turn off either one of your Bluetooth or Wireless LAN. If you have any questions about using Wireless LAN or Bluetooth Module, visit http://www.pc.support.global.toshiba.
Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth functionalities near a microwave oven or in areas subject to radio interference or magnetic fields. Interference from a microwave oven or other source can disrupt Wi-Fi or Bluetooth operation. Turn off all wireless functionalities when near a person who might have a cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric device. Radio waves might affect pacemaker or medical device operation, possibly resulting in serious injury.
regulations might impose a number of limitations to the use of wireless communication equipment. Radio Frequency Band 5 GHz (5150-5850 MHz) (Revision a and n) Band 2.4 GHz (2400-2483.5 MHz) (Revision b/g and n) The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the wireless communication. Communications at lower transmit range might travel larger distances. The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials.

CPU Central Processing Unit (CPU) Performance Legal Footnotes.
If your computer is configured with more than 3 GB memory, the memory might be displayed as approximately 3 GB only (depending on the hardware specifications of the computer). This is correct because the operating system usually displays the available memory instead of the physical memory (RAM) built into the computer. Various system components (like the video adapter’s GPU and PCI devices like Wireless LAN, and so on) require their own memory space.
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) Graphics processing unit (GPU) performance might vary depending on product model, design configuration, applications, power management settings and features utilized. GPU performance is only optimized when operating in AC power mode and might decrease considerably when operating in battery power mode.
