Thats all you can do.

There could be several causes, but because you mentioned your internet as a second symptom, it leads me to believe you may have a virus.

What exactly occurs when you try to read a disk for the second time? Do you get an error? Does the drive letter disappear?

I suggest you obtain a decent anti-virus, put it on a USB stick, and install it on your laptop from there. Avast! is free, as is AVG anti-virus. I recommend you get a free trial of a paid copy, however, so that you can do a full scan for root-kits, MBR, etc. Avast! Internet Security is good, as is Trend Micro and/or Norton.

this is usually indicative of a battery that is faulty and wont hold sufficient charge.
and usually - if the battery will not charge - it is the DC power jack that has failed.
does the "charging" light come on when it is plugged into the wall?

Dear,
This is isse with your power adaptor. Its not having the capacity to light up the scree while working. But it is having the capacity to charge you battery. You have to replace your power adaptor

It is not due to bad connection it is due to bad software driver version of graphics driver. I recommend you to install correct version of graphics driver like Intel's driver.

it is likely that your dvd drive is defective. the drive is held in by one screw either on the bottom or under the keyboard. once you pull it out you will see the model number for it and then can find one either at a good computer store or on ebay and replace it and your problem will be fixed

Typically, graphics cards in laptops are incredibly hard to upgrade. Consider it impossible. However, contact Toshiba and ask if you can upgrade. Some laptops are upgradable.
