160 If Something Goes Wrong<br />
Problems when you turn on the computer<br />
If you are running on battery power, it is recommended that you do<br />
not leave the computer in Sleep mode for long periods of time.<br />
To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into a live wall<br />
outlet for several hours. For more information see “Charging<br />
batteries” on page 99.<br />
The computer displays the Non-System disk or disk error message.<br />
Make sure there is no diskette in the optional external diskette<br />
drive. If there is a diskette in the drive, remove it and press any key<br />
to continue. If pressing any key does not work, press Ctrl, Alt, and Del<br />
to restart the computer. For more information see “The computer is<br />
not accessing the internal storage drive or the optional external<br />
diskette drive.” on page 159.<br />
The AC power light is blinking.<br />
If the AC power light is blinking, try the following steps:<br />
1 Cut off power to the computer by disconnecting the AC adaptor<br />
and removing the battery. The error condition will be<br />
interrupted, and the AC power light will stop flashing.<br />
2 Put the battery back into the computer. Do not connect the AC<br />
adaptor. Try turning the computer on again.<br />
If the computer starts normally, the AC adaptor may be<br />
defective and will need to be replaced (see the Toshiba Web<br />
site at accessories.toshiba.com).<br />
If the AC power light starts flashing, remove the battery, and<br />
continue with the steps below.<br />
3 Connect the AC adaptor to the computer. Leave the battery out<br />
of the computer. Try turning the computer on again.<br />
If the computer starts normally, the battery may need charging,<br />
may be depleted, or may be defective. Turn the computer on,<br />
insert the battery, and then leave the computer running for<br />
several hours, which will deliver a slow, steady “tricklecharge”<br />
to the battery. Once the battery has been tricklecharged,<br />
it may begin working correctly again.<br />
If the trickle-charging does not prove effective, visit the<br />
Toshiba Web site at pcsupport.toshiba.com and see the Support<br />
Bulletin Step-Charging the computer’s battery (click the<br />
Ask Iris ® link and search for the support bulletin by name).<br />
4 Connect the AC adaptor to a different power outlet, preferably<br />
in a different room. If the computer starts normally, there may<br />
be a problem with the AC outlet itself, or the voltage level<br />
available from it.
