    I have model A300D 14P for one month. Warranty 2 yrs. I have few questions, and asking for help, and suggestions what I should do?

    *My camera quality * is VERY poor, Only with very much light on, I can get generally ok picture quality. Indoor, beside turned on both options, night mode or backlight compensation I hardly can see my face, very dark and poor quality. Second problem is blue led light, it is annoying because half of picture is always blue, somehow that light taking half picture which is always blue :((( I used notebook model from L300 series ( cheaper than mine) with same camera and that blue light, it is working perfectly :(

    *Battery life and start up Vista OS*? ??In power save mode hardly 1.5h ??? Just surfing and nothing else....I asked Toshiba support here in Serbia about that and they told me that it is normal, and measuring of battery life (2, ...h) by specifications, is when my display is off and computer don't do anything ??? They also told me that normal start up time for Vista OS is around 1.45min maybe more???

    If I install win XP is it possible to get battery life longer?

    Do I need to go in Toshiba service or what?

    Thank you very much and sorry if I am boring :))))
