My Computer is Dead! ! !


Hi,

I would be mostly grateful if anyone could give me any advice on the following problem..

You are my last hope.. I know my laptop is old... ( Its a Toshiba pro 4600

For some reason when I try and turn my laptop on the following lights come up

The On Button
Battery Button
And the cable button..

It does not seem to load up.. is there any way you can give me some idea what is wrong with it.. if after a while I keep trying the on/off button it decides to come on, but when I press it again to come on the next day it dosn't..

Thankyou..

Also when It eventually came on and i shut it down it came up with the foloowing error message

end programme IAMAPP I have no idea what this is and it has just started to do it.. even if someone can tell me what it means I would be most grateful pwwweeesssee!!!

Hello, and Welcome to DAL.

Unfortunately the FAQ section of the Toshiba site is "down" at the moment, so I can't get any related information to the symptoms regarding your model. (Toshiba pro 4600)

So as far as this element is concerned, we'll have to wait unless someone else here knows this model.

"... if after a while I keep trying the on/off button it decides to come on, ..."

One thing I would suggest is that you obtain the latest drivers relative to your model & O/S for the system;

and install them once you get the system going. This may help if the problem isn't a physical hardware problem. It's difficult to tell at this point.

The IAMAPP is related to either;
Norton Personal firewall and Security

OR

IncrediMail IMApp email program.

If it's Norton, the (IAMAPP.EXE) file is located in "C:\Program Files\Norton Personal Firewall\".

Do you have either (or both) of these?
