turn off the computer's power immediately and
disconnect the power cord from the power socket.

another metal object. Short-circuiting the battery can
cause it to overheat and may cause damage to the battery

explode and release toxic materials.
❖
If a battery is leaking or damaged, replace it immediately.
Use protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.

To replace the main battery, use an identical battery that
you can purchase through toshiba.com.
