2Using any necessary adapters, plug the cable from the 
headphones or external speakers into the 
headphone/microphone jack. 
The headphone/microphone jack requires a 16-ohm 
stereo mini connector.

Chapter 6
If Something Goes 
Wrong
Some problems you may encounter when using your device 
are relatively easy to identify and solve. Others may require 
help from your network administrator or the manufacturer of 
the software program.
This chapter aims to help you solve many problems by 
yourself. It covers the problems you are most likely to 
encounter.
If all else fails, contact Toshiba. You will find information on 
Toshiba’s support services at the end of this chapter. 
Problems that are easy to fix
Your program or application stops responding.
The operating system allows for the use of both 
applications (“Apps” used with the Windows® “Modern 
UI”) and programs (used in the traditional Windows® 
desktop environment). For the purpose of simplifying the 
information we will use the terms interchangeably in this 
chapter.
NOTE 
						

							80If Something Goes Wrong
Problems when you turn on the device
If you are working in a program that suddenly freezes, 
chances are the program has stopped responding. You can 
exit the program without shutting down the operating system 
or closing other programs.
Problems when you turn on the device
These problems may occur when you turn on the power.
The device will not start.
Make sure you attached the USB power cable to the optional 
USB/AC adaptor properly.
Press and hold the Power button for at least 5 seconds, and 
then swipe down where indicated.
If you are using an optional USB/AC adaptor, check that the

a lamp.
The device displays the 
WARNING RESUME 
FA IL U RE /Windows Error Recovery – Windows did not shut down 
successfully message.
To continue, select 
Start Windows normally. This can 
happen if the device was put into Sleep mode and the 
battery has discharged. If you performed a shutdown before 
this message was displayed, a program or driver may have 
prevented Windows
® from shutting down.
Data stored in the device’s memory has been lost. Data 
stored in the device’s internal storage drive may not be 
affected.
Always save your data even when you are using Sleep 
mode. If your battery fully discharges, information that has 
not been saved will be lost. Your device can be configured to 
warn you when a battery is running low see “What to do 
when the battery runs low” on page 58. 
If you are running on battery power, it is recommended that 
you do not leave the device in Sleep mode for long periods 
of time.
To charge a battery, leave the device plugged into a live wall 
outlet for several hours. For more information see “Charging 
the battery” on page 57.
