Unfortunately I don't see any specific mentioning ACPI hardware except
the battery.
I have just read this:

S5800-freezes-when-AC-power-cord-is-connected/m-p/129846/highlight/

will try an XP installation.
So it's a problem with Win 7 and Vista? It would then seem as though
Toshiba has gotten away from proprietary ACPI drivers and its own control
panel and moved to letting Windows ACPI do the job. This may be a bug in
Vista / Win 7 ACPI when certain hardware is present and Windows provide
the driver for the interface. Let us know what XP does for you.
I will have a try but needs time, anyway I'm skeptical as the pc do
not boot at all, I don't know if there are any ACPI settings that are
stored in the CMOS even if BIOS has no settings for them, but who
knows?
