There isnt a lock per-se. it might be sleeping. Tap the power button, if no response press and hold the power button. (Think toshiba wants aroud 5-7 sec. hold it for 10 just in case) this should shut it down completely. Hit the power button again to turn it on.

Can you hear the HDD spinning/whirring and is there a light to say if it is charging when plugged in?Regards,Matt

It could be playing from the site you were surfing. Try surfing again on the website you were accessing when you heard that song. If you hear it again from there, then it is not a virus.

Also make a full virus scan of your system just to be sure.

For the newer lithium batteries it is actually harmful to let them run down all the way, the optimal charge for battery life is at 40%,
The new lithium batteries do not have the memory problems that older batteries did, but they do still wear out.

The best thing would be to just plug it in when it needs charging, because leaving the battery at 100% charge at all times also reduces its lifespan.

omg!!! are you kidding me? HOW SILLY!! Anyway, don't worry about breaking anything.. You won't. #1 Make sure to remove the screw completely before trying to remove the plate. there should be a raised area or **** where you can slide a flatheaded screwdriver in to pull it up.. Try that and dont worry, k? JUST BE SURE TO UNPLUG AND TAKE THE BATTERY OUT BEFORE YOU DO ANY MAINTANENCE, OK? GREAT LUCK!! LUCKY4LYNN2 ps. PLEASE RATE ME, K?
