Toshiba NB200-10z boot problems

[Nikki62]

I bought this netbook 16 months ago. All too often it will not boot. I press the button andthe fan start then it goes quiet and nothing happens. According tot he forum on toshiba's site several other people have boot issue. I have tried the procedure that toshiba recommends but nothing happens. Toshiba want £160 to extend the warranty but in my opinion this is a manufacturing problem and the netbook is not fit for purpose. A netbook should work a lot longer than 16 months. Anyone else have the same probs?

I have exactly the same problem and looking through the various web sites, so do many other people. The netbook worked fine for the first 12 months but no sooner was it out of warranty, the problems began.

Toshiba do not seem to be at all interested I'm affraid and I have now abandoned the NB200.

One tip that I did pick up though. If you put the NB200 in the freezer for about 5 minutes, it will boot okay and continue working until the next power off. This does at least give you a chance to collect your data.

Up until now Ihave been a keen Toshiba supporter but this little episode has taught me not to buy a Toshiba in the future.
