I have a laptop that I am trying to figure out which originally seemed to have a faulty screen as it was not working although it would be OK with an external screen.
I have't been able to do much with it cos it keeps switching itself off after a couple of mins, when it does the charger led on the front flashes orange,
The laptop is a Toshiba 6000 with Win 98SE.
The flashing charger light seems to suggest overheating although it continues hours after I switch the machine off. Whether this model was prone to overheating I don't know. The light flashes even when the charger is not connected.
As well as the screen not working it has not recognised the sound chip or the modem when I check device manager, I did manage to load the drivers for the graphics......eventually.
I feel as tho I am going in circles right now . so any help would be welcome.
