Hi
It's a 3 year old Toshiba Satellite P100.
The problem is that after going ito a black screen, no matter how long I
kepr the button pressed it did not switch off. Now, I have been using it
for 3 hours, without the battery, and so far all is well.
Could the battery be the problem? My first suspicion was the heating up,
but then it should switch off altogether.
