[LIB] Link to technical manuals?
Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2003 13:13:00 +1300 From: John Pallister [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Link to technical manuals? Hi, Well, with the replacement bits for my ailing 70CT (hopefully) on the way, it's time to contemplate their installation and (god forbid) further hardware debugging. Does anyone have a link to the technical manuals (in English - no habla Nihongo) for the 50CT/70CT? I get the impression they're out there somewhere, but I've been unable to find them.

From: Matthew Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Could you replace the LCD in a 70CT with one from a 50CT? Has anyone successfully done this? Yup! Cool! I get the impression that the 16MD RAM modules are compatible across the two models; I'm wondering what else is... NEIL! Er... is that a no? Sorry, I'm new around here...

From: Matthew Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Is a 50CT LCD the same as a 70CT LCD? [snip] All parts are exchangeable between a 50 and 70 *except* the keyboard, which must be kept with the appropriate mobo (the 70 has one trace less, for some reason) and the case bottom - that of the 50 needs a slight filing or dremelling to relieve an poor fit with a slightly redesigned expansion connector. Okay... you caught that. I neglected to include one relatively significant term with respect to the ribbon cable keyboard! Wow... thanks for the, er, comprehensive response(s). ;) John :^P -- John Pallister [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

[LIB] Help - 70CT won't access FDD or HDD
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2003 18:38:28 +1300 From: John Pallister [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help - 70CT won't access FDD or HDD Hi, I've just inherited a 70CT from a friend, who said I could keep it if I could un-wedge it. He's actually getting married next month, so I'm hoping to fix it up for him and give it back as his wedding present. ;) The problem is, it seems unwilling to access either the floppy or the (2.1GB) hard disk. Even the F12/BIOS upgrade procedure doesn't work; when I press a key, it will spin the floppy disk and then beep. When I boot it with no HDD in, it will ignore the Esc key (if pressed) and the FDD, sit there for a few minutes, and then say Insert system disk and press any key. While still completely ignoring the floppy drive. When it boots from the HDD, it tends to just sit there with the cursor flashing, which I gather means it's trying to de-hibernate, or something. This is independent of the relevant BIOS setting. If left long enough it will re-hibernate (with the associated animation), although I think I've persuaded it to stop that. The HDD boots (Win98 from a Win95 boot menu) fine on another PC. The BIOS is 6.30, but the HDD was born and bred in the Libretto, so I there shouldn't be any conflict there. I'd try flashing 6.20 (and/or 6.40), if it would let me. This behaviour is not completely repeatable; I'm sure I even got it to say NTLDR not found at one point... Other times it will sit there beeping for a while, or keep rebooting itself every few minutes... What else? There's no RAM expansion, upgraded thicker disks or anything else I've read about in the archives of this list that could be a problem (AFAIK). I'm not averse to obtaining another system board from somewhere (Hi, Martin!), but obviously if there is anything I can try, up to and including the old debugging by soldering iron tactic, I'd be very keen to hear people's suggestions. Any ideas?
