Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite CDS 1605. It used to work with a Windows 98 Second Edition. I always used it with the AC cable, because the battery never worked for enough time.
About a year ago, I could only turn it on once, it would enter normally. If I had to reboot or turn it on again after a short while, the only screen that I could see was the Toshiba logo and a line at the left bottom saying: "Press <F2> to enter SETUP" . When pressing F2 it would give the following info:
"PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0

CPU = AMD-K6 (tm) -2/450

UMB upper limit segment address: ED57
Mouse initialized
Fixed Disk 0: TOSHIBA MK 4313MAT
ATAPI CD-ROM: R4S
Entering SETUP..."
and nothing else happened.
I had then to leave it without turning it on for several days or it would show me the same Toshiba logo screen mentioned above. After several days of "rest" I would be allowed for once to open it normally, but only once at a time otherwise...
I decided to format the HD to reinstall the windows. It got stuck in the middle of the format process. Now the only thing I see is the Toshiba logo screen mentioned above, with the same info after pressing F2. If I press a CTRL, ALT, DEL after seeing the info above, the screen that comes is

Since it now is not even reading the boot, it simply turns on with the Toshiba logo screen mentioned above, I tried after a long "rest" to update the BIOS, but it's not reading the boot.
If someone knows whats happening please help.
Thanks for your time.
