    I have a Toshiba Satellite M45. Recently it has been malfunctioning.
    List of known malfunctions:

    1. When restarting the laptop, I get a resized toshiba screen and it is stuck on this screen...it never boots past this (only on restart).

    Solution: (for now) I have to unplug the AC adapter for about 1 minute, then reconnect it and the laptop will boot fine.

    2. The laptop intermittently reboots, but when it does I get problem 1.

    I dismanttled the laptop completely, just to make sure there wasn't any unplugged plugs, nothing was out of the ordinary there.

    Does anyone know what it wrong with my laptop? I need expert assistance for this one. Im baffled by this.

    I know which threads I posted, THANKS. If your not going to reply with help, dont reply at all. I thought this is what forums were for: to discuss and help others solve problems.

    Also, if you take a look at those threads, no one gave an beneficial replies (if any at all), YOU told me I should get a new laptop and that this one is giving me to many errors to even bother trying to fix, well guess what, you were wrong!
