My Toshiba e310 turns on by itself

I have an e310 i bought in early 2003. Lately, it started to just turn itself on. Then it turns off because I set it to do that after 1 minute of being idle. Then later it turns on again. And so on. Is this just due to old battery? Or is it something worse. I contacted Toshiba 3 times but all I got is a standard reply saying they will attend to my problem soon. Please help, anybody! Thanks.

Does it have built in Wi-fi and are you within range of a wireless network?
