Annoying start-up problem?

dorukanji · 01-04-2009, 08:59 PM

Hi, I've had this problem since we got this Toshiba laptop 32Bit Home Premium Vista. There are two problems: 1) When I turn on the laptop, I see a screen that says "an error has occurred - starting up in 30 seconds," and then I have to hit Enter to get the boot-up started, or wait 30 seconds. 2) When I turn off my laptop, it just turns back on again *if I have the charger connected, so I have to disconnect the charger everytime I put my laptop to sleep.

Twice, I forgot to disconnect the charger, and it turned back on. I force-shut-down the laptop, and my power button changed from blue to purple to red and over and over again, and did not boot up or turn off until I discharged the battery and turned the laptop on. Also, note that this happened before I installed anything on the computer, so it's not a virus or something I did with my computer. It might just be the quality of Toshiba, but I hope there's some fix to it. Thanks for any assistance.

Did you barely got this laptop? Do you still have you purchase receipt. If these problems happen right when you first turned on your laptop when you barely bought it, I recommend taking it back to the store and ask for an exchange.
