? Be sure to fasten screws securely with the right screwdriver. If a screw is not fully fastened, it
could come loose, creating a danger of a short circuit, which could cause overheating, smoke or
fire.

an equivalent battery recommended by Toshiba. Installation of the wrong battery can cause the
battery to explode.
