I agree Toshiba is not helping you. However, you may be able to get it running again:

- Remove the battery.

- Run the device WITHOUT the battery.

-...

It is kind of a bucket list, though I'll have to revise it. I have worked on a few of them most years, trying to get one done. Priorities and...

I'm not trying to stifle progress here. And 55 votes on Connect mean that it's more than a little important to people. someone even had a great comment that they'd...

I think you have things setup correctly, but make sure that the login has access to both instances. Access to one does not mean access to the other instance. It...
