Toshiba Notebook -- Flashing LED Code
« on: February 12, 2007, 01:32:16 PM »
My Toshiba Satellite R10 suddenly stopped working. It's just past its warranty period, so no help from Tech-Support.

I can get no response from the battery (which was working fine earlier). I plugged it in to a NEW DC adapter and was not able to power it up. When I plug in the AC adapter the single AC LED light is green. When I try to turn on the computer the led changes to a flashing amber (yellow-orange) pattern. It gives four short blinks, one long blink, three short blinks. I understand that this may be a binary code (00001000) which may be converted to some hex code (h8).

I can do the work myself, but I cannot find out ANYWHERE what this code means. Please help!!!

What happened before this started?
Can you get any info on the code form the Toshiba site?
