Anyone can tell me how to disassembllibretto 110ct battery ? From a quick search of the archives and an off-list message: http://www.technoir.nu/libretto/list/2005/msg00734.html From John Niemi: PS. I managed to get the pack open with just a few slight scratches on the visible parts of the battery pack (the part that goes hiding into the Libretto is pretty scuffed though because I used too much brute force but that doesn't matter :) I stopped to think for a second and used a very slow technique on the visible parts of the pack; I slid a very very small screwdriver in the seam and used a small hammer to tap it along the seam so that I never had to jerk the screwdriver in or out of the seam... I just tapped it slowly and gently so that the glue came off and the seam opened in little steps... I really don't know how to describe it but if someone is interested I could try to take a few staged pics of the method I used. My Reply: I had a lot of luck cracking the edge by pressing a weak point with a wide blade screwdriver until I heard the glue crack. At that point I was able to use my fingernails to start opening an edge. Then I found that I could insert a small 1/4 inch strip of plastic cut from a credit card into the opening, and then just pull it along the side to expand the opening. I did have to take a small flat watch screwdriver to one or more of the corners though. In the end there was only one very small scratch that's hardly noticible. I swapped the contents of my L70 pack into the L100 pack, and didn't bother to glue the sections together. It fits securely into the L100, and at some point I may go the road you're going John. From an off-list email from Raymond: One thing I do regret is I messed up the pack casing a little more than I would have liked. It's a lot neater I've found to get a thin, broad chisel, put it straight into the seam at the back (connector end) of the pack and push firmly until you hear the plastic crack (don't go too far or you'll go through the circuit board!), move the chisel along the seam then repeat (also do this either side of the plastic around the connector itself). Then use your fingers to pull the pack apart and free the sides then the front (you might need to get a little screwdriver up into the seams in the end but try to avoid this because it does mess the plastic up somewhat).

[LIB] Stand by / Hibernation Errors
Date: Sun, 24 Apr 2005 21:31:18 -0300 From: Eduardo Duca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Stand by / Hibernation Errors Machine: Libretto 110CT, 64MB RAM, 4.3G HD, Enhanced port replicator, Batt 1200mAh What happens...? I am having problems with one of the most useful functionalities of any notebook that they are Standby (Suspend to RAM) and Hibernating (Suspend to Disk). (as all know has 4 LEDs in the superior part of the panel of LCD the first of the POWER that is green while linked and orange blinking while in state of Standby (suspend to RAM), the close is LED of HD that spares comments (its lights when this reading is obviate). The third are LED of the battery that is green while this carried and orange while carrying and finally the one of fork expresses indicating that this using for the socket.) Them hour they perfectly work and hour they don't work or they work partially as I describe below. I remember that when I bought Libretto the Suspend to Disk (Hibernate) it didn't work any in way for the previous owner's fact to have removed the partition for this end of HD. I gave a "resize" with partition magic and I left a good part for BIOS to recreate the partition, for only then to see what remained to extend the partition of Windows again (with what it just remained type left about 80 megas.. BIOS used about 78 for the partition of suspending... oh I re-extended the partition for the 2megas what remained) didn't I do badly, right? It came with Windows 98. I formatted, I tested with Windows 2000 and it gave the same problems regarding hibernation and standby, but for other reason I ended up re-formatting again and going back to WIN98SE. Then we are going the description of what happens with each one. 1 - Suspend to RAM (standby): It rarely works... This configured correctly in BIOS in Hibernate and marked the option "Suspend to Ram when I close... (That in the hardware setup that settles and it is in the control panel of Windows). But I already tested also in the option SUSPEND TO RAM of BIOS and of the in the same. The following can happen when I close the panel or it arrives the time programmed for the standby in the manager of energy or it does tie choosing to enter in standby for the menu to begin: a. Everything ok: I close the panel or etc. LED of the POWER of green it passes for orange, the panel LCD fades and Libretto is in standby. When I open the panel or of some form "wake up" the notebook, it returns the life usually, the light orange blinking if it turns green and some seconds later (sometimes many delaying a mouthful) Windows this as and where I had left. (but that everything is rare to happen) b. Its goes, but it returns with mistake: I close the panel of LCD or I enter in some way in the standby (suspend to RAM), LED of the POWER it is orange blinking, and when I turn it on turn with the error message in the screen "Resume failure.. etc" and squeeze any key, he restarts Windows of the I begin. c. It goes, but it doesn't return: I close the panel or of the time of the "Power Management" to enter in standby or choose in the menu to begin. LED of the POWER of green it passes for orange and it is blinking... everything ok. When I "wake up" the libretto LED returns the green being, the one of HD blinks very fast, but the notebook doesn't wake up. It is as if it locked the screen nor it lights is turned off even (without being black with the lit bottom and nor with cursor blinking nor anything). The only form of leaving of that to press and to hold the button of the POWER to turn off, and turn on again. In this case when Turn ON appears the message in the screen "RESUME FAILURE PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUES" and when pressing any key Windows it restarts of the I begin. (it is the case that more happens) d. doesn't go: When entering in the standby mode (suspend to RAM) the screen of LCD turns off, HD turns off, but LED of the POWER it doesn't change for orange. It continues green and lit. When pressing button POWER again no turn on it continues with green LED and with the extinguished panel and turned off HD. Only pressing and holding it POWER for him to turn off, awaiting some time for then turn on again. (If it tries turn on soon LED is soon afterwards green but HD no it "wakes up" and the screen doesn't, being in the same way as if the libretto didn't turn on or it woke up) e. it enters and it restarts: It enters in Standby mode, green LED is orange, it blinks two or three times and then it becomes green again, powering on the libretto and already appearing the message in the screen of it "RESUME FAILURE PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUES." 2 - Suspend to Disk (Hibernate): Half of the times works or little more than that.

I've always had great success with W2K's hibernation... or at least with whatever the default hibernation function was after W2K installation. I'm pretty sure it was W2Ks. Philip was always writing about just how well W2K's hibernation function worked. Instead of shutting down a W2K installation on a Libby, hibernating, and then waking up from hibernation always goes much faster than a full cold boot to W2K. Yeah.. me too.. But only with HIBERNATION... with Suspend to RAM, not really... I had search in many sites (including csd toshiba ask to Iris.. and nobody had this problem in resuming of suspend to ram (Resume failure in most of times I had tried use this).. I had tried many configurations and hints, including this: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlView.jsp?soid=107960&moid=1073769616&BV_SessionID=1338935674.1112139923&BV_EngineID=ccceaddefdklhegcgfkceghdgngdgnj.0&ct=SB And I dont know what I would try now to suspend to ram works fine :- P Some people says "use BIOS power management".. others says "Windows PM is better than BIOS one"...

So you dont use nothing of BIOS Power Management ... only Windows power management correct ? > Whats diference in BIOS setup: BOOT, HIBERNATION, RESUME modes ? > Whats RESET HOLE in right side of librettos do ? The hole provides access to the reboot switch. When the system freezes and won't shut down, press a pen into the hole to activate the reset switch. Sometimes it even works! ;-P (Windows is problematic with this at times) Something like CTRL ALT DEL ? : - P I'm not clear on the BIOS settings for BOOT, HIBERNATION, & RESUME. All I know is that hibernation puts the system into a full power down where data for the booted session is written to the hard drive. The system can then wake up to the same condition it was in before hibernating. Resume only writes the data to RAM, and doesn't power the system down totally. Just what those BIOS settings do I'm not sure of. But I'd assume they would do bassically what I outlined above. But when I let any of these options I dont see diferences... The libs continue going to hibernation when I presse POWER button, and going to Suspend to RAM when I close the LCD panel... And in no one of theses I get BIOS hibernation again (animation in screen of laptop coping datas to discs or vice versa when resuming).. only windwos hibernation (the messagens "entering in suspend to disc" apears in a "window" in windows so.. turn off..

I using windows 98 with 98lite.. but it have many bugs, crashes, hangs, system busy, sometimes dont wake up from hibernation (and reboots) sometimes dont wake up from stand by (and reboots). I was thinkin try a NTWorkstation... its is totally compatible with libreto ? Mouse, Dock (USB from DOCK), PCMCIAs card, hibernationm, standby, utilities (Like save batt etc). Someone mention about W2k... isnt so heavy to this laptop ? Even 64M RAM? Programs: IM: I've tried Miranda, trillian, even original MSN and ICQ... the more lite of theses was miranda IM (the others is so heavy and slow), but even it hangs (or open slownly)a few minutos to open contact list, or open a received message or opena a new message. Anyone knows another MultiIM more lite and faster than Miranda ? Browser: I've tried ie6 but I never ever really like this. It's take a lot of spyware, its security is weak and if you have many pages open (not tabed of course) and one crashes you loose all of thern. I really really like Mozilla firefox.. but its demands a 15 to 20 seconds to load.. its is so much.. if you using batt so.. the read of HD its critical to time of your batt. At this week i trying the Opera 7.60.. Its fast to open (about 5 - 6 seconds) good to use, have tabs.. and a email client. Likes ideal.. if some pages are incompatible and shows partialy or does not login or aplet java crashs (yeah.. I know. config, cookies e etc. I can open all of these pages.. but somethimes I have to open or accepts all cokies.. and I dont link to set of this mode.. I like to aproval one by one to deny ads cookies. Mail client: I dont mention to Outlook because this sucks.. I begin with Thunderbird.. it so nice.. but like your brother firefox.. its so heavy. I reallu like (and use in desktop) Eudora Pro 6.2. Its acceptable to run in libretto.. 10 sec to open.. Spam filter..its ok.. but I guess I'll try the M2 (mail client of Opera.. becaus time of open if Opera already opens its about 1 -2 seconds. Office: Star Office its heavy even to powerfull desktop machines. Lotus Smartsuit... nha : - P So I put Office (MS) 97 because the disk space. compressor/decompressor: well .. WINRAR opens everything.. and thats ok.. Image viewer: ACDSEE.. I dont test another.. but I accept sugestions. Movie player: Mplayer 9 or 10 its so slow to open.. I prefer 6.4 with all codec.. play everything too.. CAD: I dont have too much choices.. I use ACAD 14 because HD space.. and CypeCAD becaus I dont have another options HUAHAUHAUH (Yeah. Im Civil Enginner) Adressbook and organizer: I use Lotus Organizer with XNTDC (Lotus Version) to sync with my Palm, and my SonyEricsson via IR or Bluetooth. I gues iths all about..

[LIB] Hibernation and Stand by

When I buy it at 3 weeks ago, the hibernation and standby does not work. The hibernation because the last owner delete hibernatikon partition (I create again about 80mb... after reboot only 2Mb was free... so.. I get it back let 78Mb for hibernation partition in end of disk). the stand by becaus the lid off of LCD (the little button/sensor ate left that when you close de laptop give it up to stand by mode) was withou a rubbber (or plastic I dont know)... and I put a small piece of rubber in this place.) Thats ok now.. The Problem: sometimes doesnt turn off, sometimes doesnt hang uo, sometimes dont wake up, e sometimes works fine (both, standby and hibernation) Description of problem: Hibernation: Somethimes everthing does ok, but.. somethimes.. I press power button (I configure press power button of libretto in windows to gives a Hibernation (copy everything to disck with the animation un LCD) and close the lid (LCD) gives stand by (power on LED turn orange).. cont.. I press power button the messge in windows going to hibernation (win98 calls this of standby ??) the BIOS animation going on (the notebook, arrow pointing to disc, and HD)... animation finish.. the LCD turns off.. but.. POWER ON LED DOES NOT.. : - P (thats problema case number 1) .Everything turned off but not the Power on led.. I wait 10... 20 minutus.. and nothing. So.. I press and hold power on button and its turn off too.. But somethimes fewers seconds later the libreto turns on and begins wake up from hibernation. (thats problem case number 2) If I dont let (turn off again) somethimes later when I turn it on thats ok.. somethimes not..\ Somethimes not its simples.. the Libretto turns on.. but not is seing in LCD... the power on LED is on, the HD LED turn on in load.. but LCD is totaly black and turned off.. (thats problem 3 wake up from hibernantion). Somethimes the LCD turns on.. the animation of resume back aperars.. whent.. the animantion finished windows not apears.. and in few secondls reboots showing the windows logo : - P Stand By mode: I close the LID panel (LCD), the system beeps.. the LCD turn off, the power on LED in green turns orange and "twinkle".. but when I open the lid panel, somethimes the LCD turhs on, a curson blinking in right top (black background like DOS) and a fewer seconds later the windows aperas and everything are ok.. elsif, the LCD turns on the cursor blinking in black background apears, and a message error thats not possible resume from standby mode (like before when thers no hibernation partition, but.. stand by dont use it.. right ? and yes theres a 76Mb hibernation partition in end of disk) then reboots.. (thats problem are more commom if there are many programs open.. if thers no one (only windows) mostly times everything goes ok. The Question: that problems are from BIOS bugs, Win98 Bugs, Any error in configuration, HD failure ? or anything else ? Anyone had this problems in past (or present now ?) Thas right the Power ON LED does not turn off when the libreto enters in Hibernation mode ? If stand by mode does not use the partition... why I get erros somethime at resume from that mode ?\ I can blame win98 for all of these problemas ?\ The RESET located at right of the Libretto... thats reset what ?

Hopefully yes... Anyway, as I'm waiting for my Libretto ct100 to arrive from Germany, I have the following questions; I have heard rumours that Win98 install is a bit problematic? How so? My Libretto comes with a floppy drive and a set of Windows98 diskettes. Win98 runs nicely ... 2k even better in my experience (esp. with 64 meg of RAM). Also, I'd like to do the PS/2 mod as shown by Xin Feng on his homepage. Has any of you done it and are better pictures available than in: http://www.fixup.net/tips/l100/ps2.htm I'm not really sure if I can see the right connecting points for the wires I've also got a slightly different version of the mod at http://www.raybot.net if you want a different perspective (although mine is somewhat more long-winded!). The signal lines are the same, I just pull the signals from different places (and include the keyboard port). I've had this mod done for a few years now and it's still going strong. Also about PCMCIA USB cards, do they drain the battery as much as some non-libretto owners claim? I was going to buy the cheapest 2-port PCMCIA USB card just in case I need to connect something to my Libretto. I already have a PCMCIA wlan card so that leaves only one PCMCIA port open, and USB sounds like a good idea...I think...? Make sure your PCMCIA USB card can fit under/over the wlan card without blocking reception ... when I plug my combo USB/FireWire card in on top of the WLAN card, the WLAN reception falls dramatically (because the antenna is now blocked by the grounded case of the USB/Firewire card which sticks out a good inch from the computer). Make no mistake, those cards will draw a fair amount of power (after all the power for the USB has to come from somewhere!), how much really depends on what you use it for. Note that if you overclock, be careful as having both slots full reduces the ability of the CPU to dissipate heat (the CPU is right over the PCMCIA slots). That's all for now, I hope to get my Libretto next week. PS. This is sort of a (minor) dream come true, not anything near like buying your dream car or anything but anyway... I remember seeing a Libretto review in a Finnish computer magazine something like 10 years ago when I was 16, and I've been wanting to own one ever since. And now ten years later I really have uses for it as I need to transfer long sound files up to 2 gigs between work, home and lectures so I could convince myself that I really really need to buy one ;) (of course the prices for 2nd hand Librettos are nowadays a "bit" lower than say five years ago so that helps too...) -John Good luck!
