Toshiba Satellite 4060CDT - Keyboard Problems

If Something Goes Wrong
Fixing device-related problems
The main battery may not be inserted correctly in the computer.
Turn off the computer, remove the battery, clean the contacts with
a soft, dry cloth (if necessary) and replace the battery.
The battery may be too hot or too cold to charge properly. Its tem
perature needs to be in the range 50 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (10
to 30 degrees Celsius). If you think this is the probable cause, let
the battery reach room temperature and try again.
If the battery has completely discharged, it will not begin charging
immediately. Leave the AC adapter and power cable connected,
wait 20 minutes and see whether the battery is charging.
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 recharge a partially charged battery, it may not
charge fully. Let the battery discharge completely, then try charg
ing it again.
Check the power options using the Windows 98 Power Manage
ment utility (or the battery save settings in TSETUP). Have you
added a device, such as a PC Card or memory module, that takes
its power from the battery? Is your software using the hard disk
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.

mizing battery life" on page 66.
Keyboard problems
If, when you type, strange things happen or nothing happens, the
problem may be related to the keyboard itself.
