Re: [Simply Computers] Even after I turned my laptop off, the cooling pad was still working

 

You didn't give us the whole Toshiba part number. Look on the label on the bottom of the computer. It should say Model L755 - something.

I went to the Toshiba website and chose one at random.

the model L755- S5258 has "3 USB 2.0 ports, 1 with 'Sleep and Charge' "

This allows you to charge external devices (cell phones, etc.) even when the computer is asleep.

Try a different USB port, or look up the specifications for your particular model on the Toshiba website.
