Neil, I soldered a piece of fuse wire (got it out of glass fuse) across that 2A fuse on the 70CT and got the LCD working again! You're the man Neil! I had a bit of a start for a few minutes though. I turned the unit off, and set it up on the extended port replacator I've been has the 50CT set up in, booted it up, AND THE SCREEN STAYED BLACK! I figured that something in the case top was blowing the fuse. But taking it apart, the wire I soldered was intact. Well,,, I then thought that maybe something in the case top had finally failed with this new jolt of electricity from being fixed. I forgot to mention that I discovered that the rear left (as you face the screen) edge of the case top where the screw hole for the standard replicator is... was smashed from something. I was thinking that this was probably started my problems... and have been thinking that if I got the MB working... the LCD or something else in the case top may eventually blow the fuse again of fail, as I think it was Pres suggested. So I pulled off the case top from the 50CT and put it on the 70CT, popped it in the extended replicator and booted it up. Gasp! No screen!! The logic pervaded... I realized I had the external monitor plugged into the ER, and forgot that I hadn't set the BIOS in the 70CT for simultaneous monitor operation. So all's well for the moment. The 50CT LCD is on the 70CT without that annoying dead pixel staring at me every time I do graphics editing. The 70CT top end may still have problems in the future... but I'll put it on the 50CT and use it until something fails... or not. On the deal with the little walkman speakers... it seems that everyone's suggestion that I crank the Libretto volume down, and the speaker volume knob UP has in fact improved the clipping problem I was having. The other day a friend told me that if I was so depressed...I ought to play myself a little good music. So for the last few days I've been downloading a lot of old 60s tracks with WinMX. Pete Seeger, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Dylan, Peter Paul and Mary... stuff addressed at those times that applies equally well to today's situation. Hours and hours of trying to get MusicMatch (their tech support said it wouldn't even run on my 50CT :-P) multitask with WinMX, IE, Notepad, Explorer, etc. finally gave me the incentive to fix the 70CT! Thanks so very much for figuring out that fuse problem Neil. This is such a great list!
