Toshiba Satellite windows 8
1. Is it normal for a toshiba satellite with windows 8 to automatically start up when you open the laptop lid?
When I put my laptop back to factory conditions the laptop just restarted again from setting the language up.
[But I don't want it to start because I want to sell the laptop.Should I just let the power drain...]
2. Is it true after factory conditioning the laptop it's possible the person that buys it can try and recover data such as email logins ?
