If Something Goes Wrong
Keyboard problems
If the battery light is glowing after 20 minutes, let the computer
continue charging the battery for at least another 20 minutes before
you turn on the computer.
If the battery light does not glow after 20 minutes, the battery may
have reached the end of its useful life. Try replacing it.
The battery appears not to power the computer for as long as
it usually does.
If you frequently repeat shallow charge and discharge, the battery
meter may become inaccurate. Let the battery discharge
completely, then try charging it again.
Check the power options via your Power Plans (see “Power Plans”
on page 89). Have you added a device, such as a memory module,
that takes its power from the battery? Is your software using the
internal storage drive more? Is the display power set to turn off
automatically? Was the battery fully charged to begin with? All
these conditions affect how long the charge lasts.
After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at
maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for
all batteries. To purchase a new battery pack, see your accessories
information included with your computer, or visit the Toshiba Web
site at accessories.toshiba.com. Refer to this site often to stay
current on the most recent software and hardware options for your
computer, and for other product information.
For more information on maintaining battery power, see “Changing
the main battery” on page 91.

the computer. Try using a different make of keyboard.
