Well, I tried the fried extended one on the external charger I just got... same type result. When I find the standard battery and put it together, I expect the same result. I don't know how used the extended one was, but the standard one can't be a year old and used maybe 15 times.

Looking over your note again, I'd say this last paragraph is the winner :-P ...if you read my last note, it seems like it is, "something else in the system that's having problems." It seems that both lids and their contents, LCDs, boards etc., are okay. But when the ribbons of each get's plugged into the 70CT's socket and the rest of the unit assembled... neither LCD want to light up. I looked as closely as possible through a magnifying glass to the male and female ribbon socket ends, and all the contacts look good there. Perhaps some contact spray?? However it seems I've only made matters worse with such sprays in the past using them on mice and audio pots. Beyond that, what would make the screen blink and go black on the MB end is a while new puzzle.

It'll work with exceptions.
Here's a post from 5 years ago on the same topic (again, search Libretto
Mailng List archives - links on my site below):
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1999 23:47:53 -0400
From: "Pres Waterman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: American keyboard on Japanese machine
I am trying an American keyboard on a Japanese Libretto 50 with BIOS 6.30
bought in Japan in June 1997. DOS7 and Win95English, with the jkeybrd.sys
and kbdjp002.kbd stuff bypassed.
Many things work right. But a few don't.
American keyMakes
ALT Caps Lock
CTRLALT
Caps LockCtrl ( I think... wierd )
Menu Windows
PrtScrMenu
Perhaps Windows=PrtScr. I believe those can be popped off and shuffled but
I will not try that until I am committed to this keyboard.
Now, Caps Lock, CTRL and ALT are rather mixed up, but only 2 of the 3 sizes
are the same. They won't all swap around physically.
And "CTRL" ( which is labelled Caps Lock ) plus right-arrow goes to the end
of the word, not the line. I can't seem to make PgUp, PgDn, Home and End
work at all, even CTRL+Fn+End. I may simply not have found the proper Fn
button.
The size difference between the Japanese and American keyboards is
unnerving, and causing as many errors as I used to make with the little one.
The bigger keys do feel luxurious, though. Not anyway near full-size, but
bigger than the Japanese model.
Here is the American Keyboard's regular characters on the Japanese machine
( not shifted )
1234567890-=
qwertyuiop[]\
asdfghjkl;'
zxcvbnm,./
( shifted )
!@#$%^&*()_+
QWERTYUIOP{}|
ASDFGHJKL:"
ZXCVBNM<>?
All above came out perfect as they are labelled, as does the ENTER key.
Apparently the only problems will be the CAPS LOCK, CTRL, ALT, Fn, Windows,
Menu and maybe the PrtScr and Pause keys.
TAB, INS, DEL, BkSp, Shift, ESC, all look good. I presume the F1, F2, F3,...
are all OK.
So far I haven't conclusively found the Fn key. Without that, PgUp and PgDn
are goners and will make reading difficult.
I am running Rex Perkins' wonderful vkpc110.vxd which makes the unused
Japanese keys to the left and right of the spacebar turn into Windows and
Menu, but I don't think that has any bearing since the dummy Japanese keys
are not present.

The day I establish a vacation message on a non-work system is the day that I've put far too much importance on e-mail.

That's all. Can't say for L50. On my Japanese L100, I flashed English BIOS without any problem or even a warning. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **
Lib 70 clock batteries
Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 14:08:24 +0100 From: "Jim Hudd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Lib 70 clock batteries I've been running my Lib 70 without the main battery attached and I've noticed that the clock in Win98 resets to midnight sometimes. The date is always fine and none of the BIOS settings seem to be affected (can't guarantee that tho'.). Does the machine have a seperate battery for the clock/CMOS which might be failing, or does the machine need the main battery attached? Cheers, Jim Hudd. ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **

Most autoresponders respond once per address /per day/. The real problem is that this list seems to be powered by a remailer rather than a proper mailing list manager. As such, it does its thing in ways that break all known autoresponders (eg. Return-Path to list address, no "Precedence: bulk" or Mailing-List: headers). - Adrian ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **
