Usually it's a problem with the install...at lease with the first Crucial SSD drive that I had. If it's like that from the start, It's when it's time to try another install. Try using you're operating system downloaded newer drivers, not the one's on the dick when you purchased the computer, they are usually outdated. Also, some good computer geeks on youtube, subscribe to them and get answers for free. Hope this helps.

I don't believe it's your ssd. I'd try reading your OS. Check your setup parameters.

I recommend backing up your existing install on the hard drive with a product like Ghost or something similar to clone / copy your windows install to the SSD then save the hard drive just in case it does not work out. Just because you switch to a new hard drive there is no need to reinstall the os and all the apps. Huge waste of time.

Mine has worked fine with 3 different MBs. All cases use momentary contact. The reset on mine is on the same toggle as the power button...power right and reset left. Also you may have connected to the wrong pins on the MB or reversed the polarity on the connections. You are correct that holding power contact for 5 seconds is designed to activate a shutdown. Good luck!

No power at all, or doesn't completely boot up? Did you remove ALL the shipping packaging? Make sure you got everything; I know there's a lot, look again. Be sure you follow the instructions EXACTLY the first time you turn it on or you will cause damage. Especially the first time you connect to a PC to do the initialization process. And NEVER connect an SD card to the USB slot!

You've probably gotten yours fixed or resolved the issue by now, but I have the version of this TV with built in DVD player and recently mine started doing the same thing. The TV would turn on and try to load a DVD and just come back with no disc... no disc... no disc.. I contacted Toshiba and they said leave it off/unplugged for 3 minutes. That didn't end up working. I searched through the menu's for a system reset or restore defaults and found one under Setup > Installation > System Status/System Information. Switch to the next menu and follow instructions when it asks for the code.I did this and it seems to have fixed the issue so far (been 48hrs and it hasn't turned on on its own).

Mine was new and on the first day, and in the first week, that battery got uncomfortably hot. The web is replete with references to it but Toshiba Tech Support engineer feigned ignorance about. Sad since it hardly has enough power to make it the bathroom and back.

Mine skips ahead 3 hours. Where do I find the customer service number for Toshiba? Thank you very much!

Same here...fan is all jacked up and incredibly noisy. Never experienced this with 3 previous Toshiba laptops, so I'm inclined to think it's an issue with this model in particular. Does anyone know the best way to remedy?

I only had this problem on my first two start up. The fan was very loud, not sure what the problem was. but now i had the laptop for about 2 weeks now it seem like the fan has quite down.

I have two ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE models. My 2 GB 800 Hz RAM upgrade has caused the "WON'T SHUT DOWN" completely problem in each! Have you found any solution?

A bit additional info, when you see it is less then 10% Batt left, stick in the power adapter ASAP, it could shut off by any min...just FYI, I got 2 of this laptop, all the same...

I have not encountered this problem. My Toshiba Satellite continues to work properly.

It happened with my LN46a750 also. I purchase from Warehouse Deals for 1308 on DEC 11. Got it DEC 17. ON-OFF started on 19 JAN. Amazon is giving a full refund. I was researching the 650 hoping the On-Off problem was a 750 problem only... DOH!

I've had a mixture of strange issues with mine which is the N56VM-AB71 ... Random freezing etc. but I installed an SSD and I'm hoping that's the issue. I am fairly sure I can't get it fixed under warranty having removed the hard drive.

I am not shore what to do. Mine is slow to boot up but has not gotten stuck. Ideas to try charging it all the way up even with a struck it should charge. Try holding down the power button and turning it off. Let it have time to charge and reset. Then see if you still have the problem. Maybe you could try this, unknown if it well work for curtain.

According to Toshiba it is a software error message, often caused by a failed firmware upgrade. There is no fix available. They offered to sell me a replacement, but I can get a replacement cheaper on Ebay or Amazon

My guess is the answer should be in the instruction manual. I never had my base connected. You could also try calling toshiba
