Does that work for any laptop or is that fix peculiar to Toshiba's?
Thanks

Removing the power and the battery and holding the power button in for 10 seconds fixes quite a number of laptop problems for most brands. It's a handy trick that clears the charge held on certain motherboard components that may be halting the boot process. All the F keys are brand specific.
