The Windows ® operating system is not working<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.<br />
5 Verify that the AC adaptor is the correct unit for your computer<br />
model. The computer may not be able to start from an AC<br />
adaptor that is rated for less current (amperage) than the<br />
computer requires, even if the rated voltage is correct, and the<br />
plug fits correctly in the DC-IN socket. The labels on the<br />
bottom of the computer and the AC adaptor show the<br />
specifications for voltage ("V") and current ("A") for each<br />
device. The voltage level must match exactly. The amperage<br />
rating of the AC adaptor must be equal to or greater than that<br />
required by the computer.<br />
The battery light is blinking when the computer is on.<br />
If the battery light is blinking when the computer is on, this<br />
indicates a power mismatch. Do the following:<br />
1 Check the OUTPUT specifications on the AC adaptor<br />
(for example, DC 19V – 3.95A)<br />
2 Check the INPUT specifications on the bottom of the<br />
computer.<br />
The output specifications of the AC adaptor must match the<br />
input specifications of the computer.<br />
3 If the specifications do not match, locate and use the AC<br />
adaptor that shipped with your computer. If the specifications<br />
do match, contact Toshiba. See “Contacting Toshiba” on<br />
page 182.<br />
The Windows ® operating system is not working<br />
Once you are familiar with the desktop and used to the way the<br />
operating system responds to your work routine, you can easily<br />
detect if the operating system is not working correctly. For<br />
example:<br />
❖ The operating system fails to start after the initial startup<br />
appears.<br />
❖ The operating system takes a long time to start.<br />
❖ The operating system responds differently from the normal<br />
routine.
