Computer just froze up one day, coould not even power it off, had to take battery out to turn off. Some times it will power up but only for a coupld of minutes, mostly it only gives black screen. In any case, wheter it powers up or not, I can not turn it off, unless I take the battery out.

it could be possible that changing the dc jack at the back may fix the problem however it could be a faulty new battery as ive had a few copies (not original) which would work for a week or so then die or others which wouldnt work at all, i finaly splashed out on a new original battery and it hasnt let me down and i bought it over a year ago.
Thats a Power On Password...I believe the only way that you can get around/reset/disable it...is by taking out the battery out of the Cmos. I will be looking for more ways other then that but thats one that i know works...
If you would like to attempt it...i dont recommend it for the no computer people...look up fourms and see if others have had the same problem or if people have taken the computer apart and replaced the cmos battery
im gussing your computer has ben over heated before and now the fan has ben damaged.
I had the same problem with my computer i took it to the repair man and he replaced the fan and filter and it was now running alot better.
Hi,
If you have disassembled your toshiba unit, and you are somewhat new in electronics, you cannot see the battery similar to other PC, bcoz its battery is somewhat soldered, and the only things you migt notice is its two colored wire (black and red) attached to a round, flat, insulated (wrapped with insulation) battery.
Need some additional information first:
-Which, if any LEDs are lighting up when you try to start.
-You said you purchased another A/C adaptor, was there a reason you tried that first?
-Have you been having any problems with the battery before this happened?
-Have you tried removing the battery and tried starting with just the A/C adaptor plugged in? If yes was there any change?
