Before you call
Since some problems may be related to the operating system or the
program you are using, it is important to investigate other sources of
assistance first.
Try the following before contacting Toshiba:
❖ Review the troubleshooting information in your operating system
documentation.
❖ If the problem occurs while you are running a program, consult the
program’s documentation for troubleshooting suggestions. Contact
the software company’s technical support group for their assistance.
❖ Consult the dealer or the authorized Toshiba representative from
whom you purchased your computer and/or program. Your dealer is
your best source for current information.
Detailed system specifications are available at

selecting your particular product and model number, clicking GO, and then
clicking the Detailed Specs link from the menu on the left. Or just refer to
the computer documentation shipped with your product.
