I know you have to make sure the battery is in the computer before it will
boot. Does anyone know of a way around this? I have a toshiba lap top that
is about 5 years old, and it won't boot. I did try a friend's battery and
it worked then. I am blind and will have to get someone to check the
voltage on the power supply and make sure we have voltage on the terminals
on the computer also. Bet some of you guys have had this problem before.
E-mail me back to this address if you can help. Located in Georgia and
have unlimited long distance. Not verry good at typing out the problem.

Seems you can type pretty good for being so blind that you can't read
a volt meter.

frown This was uncalled for.

Sight isn't necessary to interact with a computer.
Especially in a forum like this -- devoid of useless graphics, etc.

It is unfortunate that so many devices that we interact with
on a daily basis take sight -- as well as hearing -- for
granted, needlessly. Think about what's around you and how
you would interact with it if you were visually impaired;
or hearing impaired; or suffered from tremor; or any of the
dozens of other problems that many folks deal with every day
(if you live long enough, you *will* go blind *and* deaf!)
