Question about Toshiba Satellite A60 Notebook

One long beep on startup, then switches off

Hi,
This laptop start light when pressed turns blue as does the caps lock key and the lights below F10 and F11, the fan rns ok. After a second there is a long beep and then it powers off.
I just got this P4 Toshiba A60. I was mostly working, then I switched it off pulled it apart and did the following:-
Took fan out and cleaned it out, changed the tochpad and board, replaced the 2 brocken screen hinges.
I cant see that this should have had any effect at all.

Any ideas?

Caps lock light does not show

You can use the accessibility features of Windows to audibly notify you when you've pressed the Caps Lock key. Follow these steps:

Click on Start >> Click Control Panel.

Click Ease Of Access >> Select "Change how your keyboard works" from Ease of Access Center.

Check the Box for Turn on Toggle Keys.
Click Apply. Click OK.

The ToggleKeys feature, when turned on, will beep whenever the Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock keys are pressed.

hope this helps

Hi
When you say that you slid your finger back and forth on the strip
do you mean the strip along the back of the laptop just below the screen ??
Because on some laptops the wifi switch and cap locks and the mute switch are all along
that strip

so you may of by accident pushed them all and de activated them all
pressing them all in turn should activated them again but if they done
then you could try FN+ the keys that you want to activate

Hi, my daughter got hold of my acer laptop, and well now certain keys with a number over it (m j k l u I o p) they don't work, instead whatever number is also on that key comes up instead. How can I fix...

The NumLk key has been pressed and locks these keys to type numbers instead of letters.
The NumLk key is usually located above the F10, F11 function keys and there is a LED that lights up when the NumLk is selected and a LED light also lights up when the Caps lock key is pressed.

Try removing the battery and starting up just on power supply. May be a bad battery. If that doesn't work let me know.
