I notice my new main battery just purchased has an mAh of 3000!! JaymeJ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries. Sign up for Fantasy Football http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com

But I suppose that using a thin plastic card with Toshiba written on it would work much better. And if it didn't have "Toshiba" on it, probably wouldn't work at all :-) I appreciate you making sure I have the proper tools for my next homeservicing job on my Libby.

OK, Matt. Did you then manage to renew the insides of the battery cases and reuse them? Or was that all you wanted to do, just open them? JaymeJ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.

Is the > RTC battery functioning correctly now? > Matt W-a-a-a-a-a. I spoke too soon. It going past the message that one time must have been a fluke. Because when I left it off for more than 24 hours, the message was back. So late last night (Sat) I got out my trusty instructions, tools, sandpapered my fingers (just kidding) and swapped out the RTC battery. I have a brand new respect for the manufacturing process of these little machines! And a ton of notes added to the printed instructions. Actually, when one figures out how to use two tiny screwdrivers - one to each side of the little white wiring connectors, it's pretty easy removing them from the mb. And why don't they tell you that there are two thingys - one on each side of the keyboard cable that need to be pushed toward the display side as far as they can go and then the cable will slip right out?? I just wish I'd had Mikkel's advice for the case popper. [Is that like a corn popper? :-)] I used my fingers inside the battery compartment to start the right side opening, then moved around the case and it came right off. Was kind of nervous booting it up when finished. But it gave me that message again, and then went right into the desktop after dealing with the message. So I guess I didn't get any extraneous material in the memory, and did everything properly. It's still being charged right now. And I found a paper on Toshiba's site stating what Perry said, that the machine must be booted up and running in order for the RTC battery to charge: can't just plug it in and leave it. I should know tomorrow morning if everything is as it should be. Whew! what an experience. It would drive me up the wall to work on these puppies all day long. JaymeJ __ Discover Yahoo!

Putting it in the sick Libby, I ran it for about 1.5 hours, and set the correct date and time in the Control Panel icon. Then deciding to put it up out of the way for the next 48 hours to finish charging, I shut it down and got it set up in the new place. It was off for 5 to 6 minutes. Booting, there was NO message of "bad RTC" NO message of "bad CMOS checksum" When it got to the desktop, I checked the date and time, and it was still correct! Perhaps it won't need the new RTC battery after all. I'm feeling some hopeful relief about this machine right now :-) Thanks to Matt, David and Perry for all your help so far!

Matt, I found a RTC battery for $30 and a main battery for $90, including shipping and tax. Just waiting for them to arrive so I get to learn about the Libby insides. > Which model did you say you have? I have two 110's. One works great so far. Then there is the "sick" one. I hope I don't offend any Linux/Unix users on this list by sharing something that made me laugh. I got into the BIOS on the sick machine, and when I came out it booted into GRUB. I thought "Well, that's what is wrong -- there's food inside!" (grub being the packpackers name for food) > Good luck! > Matt Thanks! If you, or anyone, have been inside your Libby, I'd appreciate any pointers you can give me on this process. JaymeJ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.

When charging the battery over the past two days, I had shut the lid completely; and the charging led went out. Consequently the same messages were there when I booted. UGH! Two days shot. So now, I've left the lid slightly ajar, and after two hours so far the charging led is still lit. Hopefully after another 48 hours the RTC battery problem will be solved. If not, well, I guess I'll learn all about the insides of my Libby. Anyone know offhand what kind of battery and where it can be had? Just in case. JaymeJ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.

Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2005 19:11:25 -0700 (PDT) From: JaymeJ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Glad I've found this list! Hello, I'm a newbie to this list. Just got myself a L110; and when I booted up, I saw the message "RTC battery bad; CMOS checksum bad" etc. Reading the manual told me that the RTC battery is a NiMH one, and that it takes 48 hours to recharge after sitting for a long time. So I'm in the process of recharging it. Doing a Google search, I found a post on this list dated Monday 20Jan2003, where someone posted an URL to the L100mm.zip file, which has detailed instructions on how to replace the RTC battery. That URL no longer works. Would one of the list members happen to have this zipped file on their hdd they would be willing to share? or better yet, know of a working URL where I can download this file? Thanks much!
