You may want to run the laptop on your battery and completely drain it ... they last longer and cause less problems if you drain them to 0 every 3 months or so. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/m45-toshiba-will-not-start#post-39143 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 01:09:22 +0000 lthomas 39143@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Wow.
