If you all remember, I've been fighting my laptop for the past few months. I finally seem to have found the culprit.
After playing around swapping parts I found that if I used a different hard drive it worked perfect. But I also found that the hard drive worked perfect if it was in another laptop. Huh??? I thought..... I got out some contact cleaner and played around with the hard drive connections and that seemed to help some, then after messing around with the exact position it was mounted it now seems to be working wonderful again! It's possible that I will still need to look at it again - maybe a cracked solder joint or ???? but at the least I've tracked down the problem to where to look, which will be enough, I think. Everything seems to be in great shape, just needing the connection fixed. This could even be a long term thing as it is, but I'm not necessarily counting on that... :) Yay!!!! Thanks for all the input, everyone! Erik _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
