Re: [LIB] Best VFM drive for my 50CT please?

Date: Sat, 02 Mar 2002 07:28:53 From: neil barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wow... Now I'm really curious as to how many other people on the list have had problems damaging their Libby after putting 9.5mm drives in their early 8.5mm HDD systems after removing the spacers! Is Pres in the minority here folks? Or have their been a lot of other cases of this problem posted to the list that I've missed? I've had two (50) mobos, and seen three or four others, which have failed with main ram problems. Two of those I have ben able to fix, the others were write-offs. I've also seen - and fixed - one mobo with a video ram fault. The video ram is at the opposite end of the board, above where the PCMCIA cards plug in. Every one of the faulty mobos I've seen has had a disc other than the original. This doesn't mean I don't swap my 20G (working) and 6G(experimental OS etc) drives around fairly often, it just means I'm very careful when I do it. It appears that the mobo is more flexible than is good for it. It also appears that the 50 case and the 70 case (which had the fatter drive) are *not* identical to each other, although they will work on either machine with a little filing around the hole where the expansion port pokes through. So is it possible that in the majority of cases where a Lib has gone belly up by installing a 9.5mm HDD, it was not because HDD spacers were removed and a 9.5mm drive installed per se, but because of some accidental physical damage done to the system in the process of installing the HDD? I note that you didn't say you found any damage done to a Lib that had a 9.5mm HDD carefully and properly installed Neil. Matt (Do I need to be more concise?

Hi Matt, Matthew Hanson wrote: [T] I know (most) things expand when they get hot but I don't think a 9.5mm drive would be able to expand enough on it's own to do any damage if the fit was 'reasonable' in the first place would it? Of course, the rest of the Libby would be expanding / shrinking at the same time and could make matters worse? I was thinking more in terms of there being a little less room for the 9.5mm drive, and if a particular HDD gets hotter than most... could its closer proximity to the MB cause overheating problems? [T] Hmm, that's a good point .. heat is not a good thing inside an enclosed place like a Libby ..but I'm pretty sure heat wouldn't do the damage folk are mentioning. Maybe the spacers the there for several reasons? Do HDDs have overheating problems? [T] Well, some I have seen (whisper .. on desktop drives ..) where it mentions about fitting the drive in such a way to allow heat to conduct to the surrounding chassis? ..

Neil [T] So, would I be right in assuming I would be 'safer' finding myself an 8.x mm drive and fitting that, rather than risking my new 'baby' on a big fat nasty board cracking 9.5mm monster? I think what Neil is saying, is that it may be a faulty PROCESS of installating the HDD that was responsible for those Libs to have failed... and that the failure was not due to the drive itself. He said all the dead Libs that he worked on had had their HDDs replaced at some point. But from his description of the problems he encountered, it seems unlikely that they would have been caused by proper installation of either a larger (in MB) 8.5mm, or 9.5mm HDD. My bets are that there have been as many dead Libs that had bigger 8.5mm HDDs newly installed in them as their were dead Libs with newly installed 9.5mm HDDs.

Yours blew up, but there are a TON of people on this list that have upgraded to 9.5mm drives without any problem whatsoever. You trying to make it sound like it happens to the majority? THAT'S spreading misinformation. No, you tell a child a number of times not to play with fire and then let them get a little burned and they will learn. But you do not let the child tell all their friends how they just don't believe fire can hurt. Fact: I put a 9.x mm drive in a ( Japanese ) L50. Quite some time later it failed with characteristic symptoms that match others' experience. Fact: I took that same L50 back to Toshiba Japan, who was just about to replace the bad motheroard, more than a year out of warranty, until I opened my big mouth and mentioned it failed after I changed the HDD. They handed by piece of junk back to me. What do they know that some of us just don't get? Fact: I just recently got a second L50, WITH a non-original HDD that someone else put in, failed in exactly the same way. It is going to Neil for a look-see but I am sure it's terminal. Fact: Neil and I are some of the most experienced non-Japanese Libretto users on the planet. Neil has stated that he has never seen a fried Libretto with an original HDD, and every fried Libretto he has seen has had a changed HDD. So, tell me, what don't I get about this? What doesn't Matthew and Raymond and everyone else on this list trying to put 9.5mm of matter in an 8.45mm hole GET? PUT A PROPER SIZED HDD IN- THEY EXIST!
