Thanks Tony. When I pulled that one off, I noticed it was an edge card connector using the PCB as one half of the connector. With the 4 screws holding down the PCMCIA housing, it would be difficult for this not to be seated properly. I believe our problem lies elsewhere.

It just pushes staright on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tony Oresteen Montverde, FL ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Libretto" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 10:08 AM Subject: RE: [LIB] Dead L110 Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 07:08:16 -0800 From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [LIB] Dead L110 Matt and Neil; I opened my L100 over the weekend and could find no fuses inside. Nothing remotely similar to a fuse. However, after re-assembling the Libby, mine no longer works either. This suggests operator error. I have no manual or instructions telling me the proper way to disassemble the L100, just used my engineering background and common sense. Clearly, a little knowledge of these small Japanese connectors would have been helpful. I will be going back into the L100 to find which little connector is not seated correctly. Mine displays the same symptoms as yours, Matt - 3 of the LEDs light and the hard drive spins. No image on the screen. Anyone have a link to the proper assembly / disassembly procedures for the L100?

Cheeky whippersnapper :) Neil has been an electronics engineer for nearly thirty years and knew what he was looking for... and if one 70 had a fault in one of three power circuits, it was a good place to start looking. > > Now the issue with this 110 MB is that >nothing< works when the system > is powered up.

Silly question I know - but is there anything coming out of the video socket? Is it just the video screen that's dead? If it is, then it's likely a fuse or other component of the voltage supply to the screen; the lamp driver inverter, perhaps? Neil
