System start-up
When the computer does not start properly, check the following items:
Self Test
Power Sources
Power-on Password
Self test
When the computer starts up, the self-test will be run automatically, and
the following will be displayed:
In Touch with Tomorrow
TOSHIBA
This message remains on the screen for a few seconds.
If the self test is successful, a short beep sounds and the computer tries
to load the operating system. Depending on how the Boot Priority is set in
the Hardware Setup or TSETUP program, the computer tries to load first
from drive A then from drive C, or first from drive C then from drive A.
If any of the following conditions are present, the self test failed:
The computer stops and does not proceed to display information or
messages.
A beep sounds, and after a few seconds no new messages appear.
Random characters appear on the screen, and the system does not
function normally.
The screen displays an error message.
Turn off the computer and check all cable connections. If the test fails
again, contact your dealer.
If the self test ends successfully but you do not hear a beep, check Power
Saver Utility or TSETUP to see if the speaker has been disabled. If it has
not, your computer’s speaker may be faulty. A faulty speaker does not
affect normal computer operation and can be fixed by your local dealer.
