Why won't the lid on my laptop close all the way now?

Hinge tension is often out of adjustment -- not just Dell, either, seen this commonly on Mac laptops, too. RadTech (link below) has a kit for adjusting the Mac, though I don't know if it works on PC. It depends on the hinge design. You might be able to have the thing adjusted. Be careful not to force it, though; those suckers are fragile.

I used to work at a computer store and we repaired a lot of laptops that had the exact problem. We usually charged anywhere from 100-200 to fix it because tearing most laptops apart is a real pain.\n\nYou should be able to take it to a mom and pop computer shop (not the local geek squad) and if they're any good should be able to resolder and fix the contacts.\n\nIf its under warranty just have Toshiba fix it but if its more than 4-5 years old don't bother. Buy a new one.

There should be a small hole in the front. Insert a paperclip (opened) gently to open the drawer. This will open it. If it continues to have this problem have a technician open the case and confirm that the power is firmly attached, otherwise have the drive replaced.

Try rebacking everything up again. This time DO NOT touch the power buttons or anything else just let it finish the job at hand...Thanks

I would try opening up the laptop and putting it on its side to let it dry out.  It should dry up in a couple of day and then try to use it again and see if it works.  usually this works if there was not that much liquid that was spilt on the machine.

try clicking altogether ctrl+alt+delete and click shut down. if it's still not working, you have to contact your pc manufacturer

Ok my friend, first calm down, then dont worry about the laptop for now. I agree with Winvin that u need to take out the hard drive which has all ur important information in it. go to your nearest computer store and explain them what happened. the best thing would be an External Hard drive reader designed to read laptop size hard drive. you can retrive all the things in it and re save it on the desktop computer hard drive. then exess them from it\n\nORR... u can buy an other laptop similar to the one u r using and swap hard drives!!! return that laptop later. Goodluck\n\nThe reason for this might be internal problem inside the laptop, not power or batt.

If you're using a laptop, your battery is probably dying or the cooling fan isn't working properly. You'll need to take it to a shop to get it cleaned properly - don't pop the case open yourself.\n\nIf you're on a desktop, you're probably overheating, either the power supply or the CPU. You need to open the case and blow out all the dust, especially around the CPU and fans, and make sure your fans are running properly, especially on your power supply.

I believe most laptops either have a standby or hibernate feature where after a certain time the laptop shuts off automatically. i don't think it's bad to leave it on all night, but if you're laptop has this feature, there's no need to worry about it. it'll turn off by itself.

it sounds like a heat related problem does it do this when first started after a cooldown cycle? laptops have to disapate alot of heat without all the space and fans of a desktop some models do it better than others try placing the laptop on the edge of books so there is about 4 inches of free space under the laptop that way it gets good airflow if that corrects the problem then you know it is heat related, you can buy an after market laptop cooler that you place under the laptop which should keep it cool enough it was a heat related problem that should fix it

Do not whack it on the side, it is not a mechanical problem. This issue could be attributed to lack of RAM, how may RAM do you have? to check:\n\nRight click My Computer icon on Desktop> Properties> General Tab\n\nUsually laptops have 256 or 512 MB of RAM, sometimes when we have applications running, we run out of memory causing the system to freeze. If your system freezes, just wait till it is able to execute all the task you have ask it to do (one by one, slowly) let the computer take its time...\n\nOR better yet...upgrade your RAM....if you have 2 slots (normally), purchase 1GB of RAM...and you would not worry anymore, your computer will not get some spanking from you..

Could be that it was jarred and an internal component is not seated properly.  If you are comfortable with doing so, you can try reseating the memory, hard drive, wifi card, etc... to see if that fixes the problem.  If you are not comfortable doing so, take it to someone who is.

probably you are not shutting down the system properly. Make you do it correctly.
