display, looks like a

Yes, gas plasma, a 286 and 20MB disk.
problem is this: when booting, it checks the 640k of
ram and then either
1.) says there are various CMOS problems, or b.) just sits there and
hangs.
does anyone know how I would go about getting into the bios, or if that
is even possible? tried pretty much everything; no luck. any advice
would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!!
Your CMOS battery is probably dead. When it tells you that have a CMOS
problem, it should give you the option to change the CMOS values. You can
also try booting from a DOS floppy. You should be able to find
diagnostics and setup disks from Toshiba's web site: www.toshiba.com.
