3. settings in the Running on Batteries column, so you can reset them after calibration.

Word. Only two things I can think of to solve this problem one is to make your pc into a linux/windows dual boot. just plug in your iTouch when you are running linux. There should be no problem at all and no loss of files. two is to do a full system recovery, which means you lose all your files and programs. reply if you need help with doing either one or just google it.

Your battery is shorted, buy a new one

You definitely need to bring your laptop to the Toshiba shop near you. There they can facilitate the replacement of your laptop's body (casing). It is a critical task to do and I think a Toshiba authorized shop can help you with this. Thanks.

Remove battery, press and hold power button for 5 seconds, reinsert battery and make sure it is securely in place

hello loyd516,

Have you tried a new battery? They are much much cheaper, and a whole lot easier to replace than a motherboard.

Here are replacement batteries that I found searching with Google.

According to Toshiba, there has been a battery recall for your specific model.
If that is the case I would definitely contact Toshiba support about it. Maybe you will get a free battery out of the deal. Who knows.
Here is the link and the list(your model is highlighted)

I would try another power supply, as the one you have may not be providing enough power to both run and charge the laptop.

check your battery on some other's laptop, i think the battery life is over, you have to replace the battery

remove the primary battery and plug the computer into an AC outlet using the AC adapter. If the computer starts up, one of the batteries need to be replaced. If the battery light on the of the comoputer is blinking, the battery has reached a low batery level, which may not allow the computer to start up. Plug the computer into an AC outlet using the AC adapter to start the computer and allow the battery to charge.

Typically this indicates a problem with a particular piece of hardware or its driver that is not cooperating when windows tries to hibernate. Do you have anything new attached to the system? If so, try unplugging it, rebooting, and see if it cooperates then. Also, have you checked the windows event log to see if windows reports any particular errors when trying to hibernate?
